I’ve been close…twice. But ended both relationships when they were caught cheating.

I’ve dated several men since then, most older than me, and they seemed to be in no hurry to even be in a committed relationship.

Date the guys that you know would want to marry you. You appear to be making a choice not to date them.

The government of Ethiopia has accused UK’s Telegraph of ‘completely twisting facts and agenda-based reporting’ which involves inaccurately translating Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s speech.

In the article titled “Ethiopian PM threatens to stop food aid entering the country” posted on October 18, Telegraph's Will Brown blatantly misquoted Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and misinformed its readers regarding events in Ethiopia, Ethiopian Ministry Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Thursday.

The aim is “to bolster a preordained narrative in which Ethiopia must be vilified. At the same time, insurgents of the TPLF are spared criticism, if not outright praised”, it added.

Delivered in Amharic, Prime Minister Abiy expressed his desire to see “Ethiopia become food self-sufficient and less dependent on food aid coming from abroad a noble goal widely shared among the Ethiopian public".

Telegraph's report, however, translated the statement as “if we make sure that this thing called wheat [food aid] does not enter Ethiopia, 70 percent of Ethiopia's problems will be solved”.

The letter advised the national British daily broadsheet newspaper to “reassess its assumptions of what the Prime Minister said or did not say.”

“If translating Amharic into English is particularly challenging, they should seek help before becoming a disservice to their readers, who deserve to know that facts,” it said.

The article is viewed by some as part of serious misinformation pushed by the western media against the Abiy administration since the start of the conflict in north Ethiopia almost a year ago.

This one, however, goes beyond taking things out of context or misinterpreting the Prime Minister's words, the ministry said.

“This is an unscrupulous disregard for what was said and a complete twisting of the facts for agenda-based reporting,” it added.

“For the sake of journalism and factual reporting, the Telegraph should reevaluate this report for its merit and ask if it meets journalistic standards” it concluded.

Calm down, op.

Built with loans we’re yet to repay.

When you borrow money from people who steal from you, it's not a loan.

A little jazz, a little afro, and a guitar Sonatina.

You should do what you can to get your payment as far as paperwork and periodic checking/follow up, but don't stress yourself about it. Just remember what you already have from it; your experience. That has value regardless of outcome. I do hope they pay you, but you'll move on to something better anyway.

I kind of don't believe this. But I'm not saying it isn't a thing.

Some people are angry at anyone they perceive as happy and enjoying life. Mental health really needs to be further destigmatized, so more of these ídiots will get help for their problems. I mean I'm not insensitive to those who were abused, but when you then try to obsessively victimize others, that changes things.

The family of Sir David Amess murder suspect Ali Harbi Ali believe the MP may have been targeted because of his political connections to Qatar.

Sir David was chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Qatar and was considered to be the British politician closest to the country and previous media reports have suggested anger over his role may have played a part in the murder.

Police have been investigating why the murder suspect travelled from his home in Kentish Town to Southend, an area neither he nor his family had any connection to, on Friday to allegedly stab to death the backbench Tory MP.

Now Ali's uncle says the family are speculating that Sir David may have been attacked over his links to the Gulf state, which has been accused of interfering in Somali politics and propping up its current president Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo.

Speaking outside Ali father's home in north London, Abdi Ali told MailOnline: 'We are a very political family and Ali was very aware of what was going on in Somalia and the involvement of Qatar.

'We have no connection to Southend, no relatives there and I'm not sure if any of us have even been there for a day trip. We have talked about this a lot as a family and the only connection that we have established is the MPs backing of Qatar.'

Sir David (circled) returned from a trip to Qatar two days before his death in his role as chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Qatar and the MP with closest links to the country

He added: 'We know that the police are looking into this. We are all in utter shock at what has happened and have been left traumatised by it.'

Mr Ali revealed that the controversial role of Qatar in Somalia is something that is passionately discussed by Somalians across the world.

He said: 'There is anger at the way Qatar is interfering in our business.'

Sir David had flown back from there two days before he died and tweeted a photo of himself meeting the Emir of Qatar just 24 hours prior to his horrific killing.

Ali's father Harbi Abi Kullane (above) is an ex- senior aide to the prime minister of Somalia

Qatar has been criticised over its involvement in Somalia, which has pushed it towards all out civil war amid growing political and economic turmoil.

Ali's father Harbi Abi Kullane was a former senior aide to the prime minister of Somalia and the family enjoys extensive contacts amongst powerful politicians from the country, many of them critical of Qatar's role in Somalia.

In a tweet of October 5, Mr Kullane described Qatar's involvement in the East African nation as 'unhealthy' and called for its presence to be 'eliminated'.

There is no suggestion that Ali Harbi Ali's father is in any way an extremist.

Mr Ali claimed that it would not have been difficult for anybody to establish which British MPs are closely aligned to Qatar, even though Sir David Amess many not have been a household name in British politics.

In the past, Sir David has openly spoken about his close ties to Qatar and was even interviewed on BBC Radio Essex last week about his most recent trip.

In 2019, he gave the country's ambassador a tour of Southend hoping to win support and Qatari funding for his long-running campaign to make the Essex seaside town a city, which was granted earlier this week in tribute to him.

Criticism of Qatar's role in Somalia has intensified this year after President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo was supposed to step down following the end of his four-year term.

But he remains in power, with many Somalians accusing him of mounting a power grab with Qatar's help, in what has been slammed as a 'silent coup.' Planned elections for this year have also been delayed, leading to armed clashes.

Somalia has found itself at the centre of a power struggle between Qatar and its neighbour Saudi Arabia as they try and expand their interests in the Horn of Africa in an attempt to exert more political and economic influence in the region.

Following Sir David's killing, the Emir of Qatar issued a moving response, praising him for playing 'an appreciable role in strengthening the historical relations between our two friendly countries.'

The Emir added: 'My since condolences to his family and the British people.'

People complain about police, but take issue with educated people wanting to join. Really?

I'm glad mental health is trending because there are a lot of broken people walking around who don't know they're broken. There are also a lot of people that don't seem to grasp that certain attitudes are not part of a progressive society.

I doubt it was designed for real use.

Once the large merger between Santos and Oil Search occurs the former will own 42.5%, more than operator ExxonMobil and will most likely farm down a stake.

Marape, whose government holds 12.4% already, would like that extra 10%, The Australian reports.

A Santos spokesperson confirmed to Energy News that chief Kevin Gallagher is in Port Moresby.


Exxon holds 33.2% and is seen as the most likely candidate to take the share. France's Total, operator of the Papua LNG project, is another candidate. The government holds 22.5% of that project.

The government has already distributed 7% of its share of PNG LNG to local governments.

Petroleum minister Kerenga Kua believes the 42.5% holding would be "onerous" for Santos, but the best option would be for it to offer the government first right of refusal. How Port Moresby would pay for it was not answered.

Debt, or a loan from Santos are possibilities. Santos is not in the habit of loaning project partners money; the only recent deal was a $13.5 million loan to Queensland CSG player Comet Ridge for it to take Australia Pacific LNG's share of the Mahalo fields.

In return Santos has the option to take a larger share of the same project and if it declines Comet will need to pay the money back.

The government also has its own right of refusal over the merger itself given Oil Search is headquartered in PNG.

The main concern, apart from equity in the LNG plants, is that the deal to create a "regional champion" would also see Oil Search leave the local securities exchange.

Marape has been clear the deal must create value for PNG

"Oil Search Limited is a prominent PNG company whose activities comprise a significant percentage of PNG's GDP and provides the livelihood to thousands of Papua New Guineans both directly and indirectly. Any proposed merger must satisfy the national interest test," Marape said in early August.

"We do not wish for the largest oil and gas company operating in our country to simply be a branch office of a foreign company."

There will be two court hearings in PNG to decide on the merger before it goes before Oil Search shareholders, who must agree at a rate of 75%.

Santos shareholders will own 61.5% of the new company, down from an original 63% but higher than analyst speculation that a 40%-60% offer was needed to get the deal over the line.

The BBC is reporting it was a hoax. But no other reports are out yet.

It's inappropriate to wear cultural attire when you're (a) not from it, and (b) aren't wearing it for its intended purpose.

However, I think it's important to consider who is wearing it and why. You'll often see black Americans who are educated (e.g. doctors, lawyers, educators, jazz musicians, etc.) wear these things. These are people who have actually traveled to African countries and educated themselves about the culture. It's a way for them to express pride, solidarity, and a feeling of connection to Africa and Africans.

It might make some people feel a certain way, but stop and consider the fact that arguably the majority of black Americans view their own race through the racist lens of oyinbos. It's far better to have "fake Nigerians" wearing traditional clothes and speaking broken Igbo than an entire nation of ignorant, regressive, pseudo black people.

And American oyinbos do identify with ancestry. The only ones who don't are basically the least educated and most backward ones in the country.

Don't let your current situation define you.

None of those issues should prevent you from connecting with women, and being intimate if that's what you want.

You need to take more opportunities to meet women and socialize. Anywhere and everywhere. And maybe you're too picky. Even if you think you have strong preferences for a certain kind of girl, try something different. You might be surprised.

You might need to work on your charm (interaction, not jazz) a bit. Maybe hanging with guys that don't have this issue, and are in a similar position would help. Honestly, they would probably do the work for you and find some random girl that secretly likes you.
