Following the frequent targeting of the Republic of France, by the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), a nationalist movement in one of the regions of the country has announced that it will bypass the regular French army to take on the terrorists, if the area is attacked.

The Corsica region is a mountainous island on the Ligurian Sea. The area is a mixture of stylish coastal towns, dense forest and craggy peaks. Due to the area’s proximity to North Africa, many migrants from that part of Africa are living on the Island.


The militant movement, known as the National Liberation Front of Corsica – October 22(FLNC-22), said it will retaliate heavily against any extremist attacks on the island by ISIS. The FLNC-22 is said to have splinted from the main National Liberation Front of Corsica, a separatist organization seeking total independence of the region from France. Local media report that the FLNC-22 group is more radical to their approach for independence from France than the main organization.

According to members of the FLNC-22, any terrorist acts carried out on Corsican soil would prompt a determined response without any qualms. They said the French government will be blamed for failing to protect citizens of the island from any attack from the terrorists.

The group accused the French government of wasting resources to intervene in needless wars, putting the whole of France at risk of terrorist attacks, and failing to defend its citizens from such attacks.

In a statement the group sent to a local newspaper the Corse Matin, it urged all Muslims in the region to unite and reject the extremist ideologies of the terrorists, telling the Muslim population to report anybody to the group they suspect of having links to the terrorists.

“The aim of the Salafists is clearly to install Isis policies here and we are prepared for it. Your medieval philosophy does not frighten us. If a tragedy were to happen it [the French government] would bear substantial share of responsibility because it knows who the radicals Islamists are in Corsica. If Islamic States takes actions on our soil, we will manage to defeat them only together,” the group said in the statement published in the local newspaper.

The group further claimed that ISIS militants have tried to target Corsica in the past, but their internal intelligence managed to thwart the plans of the terrorists. However, this claim by the group of thwarting ISIS planned attack on the island has not been confirmed by French officials in the mainland.


The FLNC-22 movement has a cold relationship with the French authorities. RT English News reports that in 2012, some members of the group were tried in the capital Paris for a dozen bombings, including one that targeted government-owned buildings in the southern city of Aix-en-Provence.

In 2013 again, two men who claimed to have links to the FLNC-22 were sentenced to three and five years in prison respectively, for providing the group with technical and logistical support.

France has recently been rocked by a string of terrorist attacks claimed by ISIS terrorists. On July 14th, a truck driver went on rampage at a Bastille Day event, killing 85 people and injuring more than 300 others. In that same month, two militants with links to the terror group broke into a church, gruesomely slaughtering a priest and taking some of the congregation hostage. It was revealed that the two men who carried out this heinous attack were on the watch list of French intelligence officials.


Since those attacks in July, it is said right-wing movements and political parties have been gaining support. The French intelligence services have also faced harsh criticism for not watching known radicals.

In Corsica, observers say the FLNC is getting public support as many people feel unsafe due to the complex nature of the attacks by the terrorists. Many people, therefore, believe that joining some sort of Para-military forces will help scare the terrorists away from the island.

The Nigerian terrorist group, Boko Haram has released a new video showing the dead bodies of some of the schoolgirls kidnapped from the Northeastern town of Chibok, in Borno State, two years ago.

On April 14, 2014 Boko Haram fighters stormed a school in the town, terrorizing residents before making away with more than 300 of the schoolgirls. The abduction of the girls gained prominence in the Western mainstream media. The first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama led a social media campaign known as #BringBackOurGirls. The campaign went viral with participants urging the terrorists to return the girls.


When this current Nigerian government was elected in 2015, its leader, Muhammadu Buhari pledged to do all he could to free the girls. President Buhari stated that his government is prepared to negotiate with the terrorists.

However, the negotiations failed and the government decided to use force to free the girls. The terrorists are believed to be hiding in the Sambisa Forest, a vast forest located in the northeastern part of the country. The girls too, are held in the forest. As the negotiation was not successful, the government authorized the country’s military to use airstrikes to flush out the militants from the forest.


In the past, Boko Haram has released videos showing the girls. Its leader, Abubakar Shekau is seen in some of those videos threatening to carry out more attacks on the Nigerian government, as well as foreign countries providing support to the government.


Boko Haram pledged support to the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) last year. Since then, two factions have emerged within the group. It is believed the two factions disagree on the operations of the group. One group believes it is right to kidnap and kill civilians when necessary to advance the cause of the group, the other holds that the group should rather fight the military and avoid civilians. Recently, ISIS released a statement that it has recognized the faction led by one Abu Musab al-Barnawi.


The Shekau faction has since denounced the leadership of al-Barnawi. Shekau released an audio statement on August 3, 2016 claiming that the al-Barnawi has led an unsuccessful coup against him. Security experts say the split within the group has made the situation on the ground more complicated, regarding the freeing of the kidnapped girls.



In the latest released video, it showed some of the kidnapped girls in robes with hair coverings. One girl is seen holding a child, raising fears that the girls have been forced to marry the terrorists.

A fighter in military camouflage, standing before the girls, demanded that the government free some of its fighters in detention, before the girls will be freed. He interviewed one of the girls, who pleaded with the government to free the fighters so that they could return home to their parents. The video then showed some of the dead bodies of the girls. The fighter said they died from Nigerian military airstrikes.


A spokesman for the Bring Back Our Girls campaign, Jeff Okoroafor told reporters that the video is original, revealing that families of those kidnapped had recognized eight of the girls who appeared in the clip. Mr Okoroafor said: “We are still reaching out to some parents to see if any can recognize more.”

Security analysts in northern Nigeria have said the girls are being held by the Shekau faction. The Nigerian government has said it is closely analyzing the video,to know who to talk to in the group so that the girls could be released.

Boko Haram claims to be fighting the Nigerian government, to create an Islamic State. The group has targeted mosques and markets with suicide bombers. Since the group began its violent campaign in 2009, hundreds of Muslims in the northern part of the country have been killed.

In a line up of 10 wanted con artists, the Nigerian
is listed in the ninth position behind the likes of a
Bollywood film producer, Sandeep Arora, 42, from
Beckton, east London, who allegedly claimed
£4.5m in VAT and film tax rebates for movies

The “End-
to-End” signifies that the conversation is
protected prior to it leaving your cell phone, and
is only readable after it reaches your partner’s
phone. As a result, no other person, including the
company, will be able to read your messages.
While critics who wanted WhatsApp to be
encrypted are pleased with this new development,
the same cannot be said for government agencies
– although, the funny thing is, the United States
government helped finance the encoding system
WhatsApp employs, which will undoubtedly raise
a fair amount of suspicion.
However, with that being said, before you start
sending content on WhatsApp, keep in mind that
while your messages are still in transit, they can
still be hijacked by hackers. While the other
possibility is that someone can create a backdoor
into your system, which will allow them to snoop
on your conversation(s). For that reason,
encryption itself is not much help if you do not
follow the advice we are about to tell you.
If you truly need the information you sent in
WhatsApp to be secure, then get rid of it
immediately after you have read it. If a person
gets their hands on your cellphone – for instance,
by stealing it – and knows how to gain access to
your cell phone—just as the Federal Bureau of
Investigation has done so with the iPhone that
was utilized by the shooter in San Bernardino—-
every little thing that is on your cell phone will be
available to that person.
Furthermore, a few texting or messaging
applications, particularly Telegram, include a self-
destruct function, which erases the content from
the cell phone. You can set a time period for the
expiration, and Telegram will delete your
messages when the time comes. However, at this
time, WhatsApp does not have an automatic
message deleting feature.
It should also be brought to light that Telegram
does not use end-to-end encryption as a set
default standard. As a result, if you want
encrypted messages, then you are required to
select it manually. It is also worth mentioning
that WhatsApp, like most of the encrypted
messaging systems, does not save your
communications on their server machines.
However, on an Apple iPhone, consumers are able
to tell WhatsApp to maintain a back-up of
communications on Apple’s online storage service
– which is commonly known as iCloud. As soon
as this data is uploaded to the cloud, it can be
checked by a government agency or even by
hackers who know their way in.
In comparison, Signal is definitely the application
that is favored by privacy enthusiasts – plus their
encoding system is similar to what WhatsApp
uses. Signal does not save your information or
the communication content to the cloud. And it is
needless to say, in case you think about taking
screenshots of your messages before removing
them from the application, if your phone
automatically saves your photos to Google’s
servers, Apple servers or any other cloud services,
then these can also be hacked.
Once more, your conversations can never truly be
safe if someone can see your screen; however, if
that bothers you, there are many visual protection
apps on the market. These apps will allow you to
view your screen as normal, however, the people
around you will be unable to see what is on your
screen. But if you trust the people around you,
and the only protection you want is from the
government agencies or hackers, then simply
delete every message once it’s read, and do not
take screenshots of your phone.
In addition, for added protection, try not to use
public WiFi. If this is unavoidable, then use a paid
VPN that offers encryption services. We know this
is a lot of work, but it is always better to take
steps to enhance your security. Enjoy your new
end-to-end encrypted WhatsApp messaging.

Have you ever bothered to ask yourself why you
keep meeting the wrong guys? It can be very
frustrating when you find yourself falling for the
wrong guy always.
Below are things you are doing that prevents you
from dating the great guy you desire



1. YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT IN A
MAN
You would keep meeting the wrong guys if you
don’t know what you want in a man. You
shouldn’t just say yes to any man; you need to
have values you want in a man.

2. YOU ARE SCARED OF BEING SINGLE
When you are scared of being single, you end up
choosing the wrong man because you are
desperate. It’s better to be single than being in a
wrong relationship.

3. YOU EXPECT A MAN TO PROVIDE FOR YOU
If you can’t survive without a man’s finance, you
will find it really difficult dating a good guy. While
it’s nice to be spoiled by your man, it’s also
important you have a source of income and be
able to take good care of yourself.

4. YOU IGNORE THE WAY HE TREATS OTHERS
If a man doesn’t respect his mother, don’t expect
him to respect you. He can’t give you what he
doesn’t have. You need to pay attention to the
way he treats others.

5. YOU THINK YOU CAN CHANGE HIM
The only person you can change is yourself. Don’t
go into a relationship with the mentality that you
can fix him. The only person that can change him
is him.

6. YOU HAVE A NEGATIVE MENTALITY
When you think “all men are dogs”, you
automatically shut your brain from finding a good
man. So all you keep meeting are men who act
like dogs. Don’t let a man in your past make you
think negatively.

7. YOU DON’T HAVE STANDARDS
You will keep meeting people without standards if
you don’t have standards. If you don’t have
standards, you will keep falling for the wrong
guys.

8. YOU HAVE LOW SELF-ESTEEM
When you think you don’t deserve better, you will
constantly find yourself in relationships with
people who disrespect you. Low self-esteem
makes you think less of yourself and also makes
you feel unworthy of a good guy.

cute babies

tubaba junior.....

damn!!!!

no NGOs here or what??

Hmmm!!!
nice thread. let me add mine!
*)When in a relationship, open your heart to sweet melodies of love, don't be too wise while falling in love, and don't be too cautious of losing your heart! for what purpose is life if not to be happy.
rising up and moving ahead after a heart break makes life and eventful. remember, you are most alive the moment you are about to die!
