Foreign Affairs › Russia Warns West Of 'unpredictable Consequences by DaveHarry(op): 2:35am On Apr 16, 2022 |
Russia has formally warned the US - and other allied nations - against supplying weapons to Ukraine. The warning came in a formal diplomatic note from Moscow, a copy of which has been reviewed by media outlets in the US. The two-page diplomatic note – forwarded to the US State Department by the Russian embassy in Washington - warns that US and Nato weapons shipments are "adding fuel" to the conflict in Ukraine, and could lead to what Russian diplomats refer to as "unpredictable consequences". It was sent on Tuesday, just as word of a new US military aid package for Ukraine had started to leak out. Only hours later President Biden approved the shipment of $800m of military assistance - including, for the first time, long range artillery weapons such as howitzers – with the aim of matching Russia’s military capability in Ukraine. A senior US administration official was quoted as saying the warning could be seen as a concession by Russia that US and Nato military assistance to Ukraine was proving effective. The first part of this latest shipment is expected to arrive in Ukraine in the next few days, as Russian forces continue to mobilise in the east of the country, ahead of what is expected to be a major assault on the disputed Donbas region of Ukraine in the next few weeks. Since the war began the US has supplied more than $3bn in military assistance to Ukraine.

Business › Undocumented Lotto Winner Struggles To Claim Prize by DaveHarry(op): 8:17pm On Apr 15, 2022 |
An Algerian man who won €250,000 (£206,000; $270,000) on a €5 scratchcard in Belgium is struggling to claim his winnings because of his undocumented status. The prize is too large to be paid in cash and the man does not have the papers he needs to open a bank account.
A friend who tried to claim the money for him was briefly detained on suspicion of theft.
The winner says he wants to use the money to build a life in Belgium.
"When I get the money, I am going to buy a place to live in Brussels. And maybe a car," the man, whose identity has not been revealed, told Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws.
However, first he has to find a way to claim the money.
The 28-year-old man has no valid identity papers nor a permanent place to live, according to Belgian broadcaster VRT.
Because he cannot open a bank account, the lottery company will not make the payment, the man's lawyer, Alexander Verstraete, said.
"We are looking for those documents that can prove his identity. He will have to contact his family in Algeria," Mr Verstraete told the AFP news agency.
A lottery spokesperson did not specify to AFP which documents would be required to claim the win.
One of the man's friends, who has the correct papers, tried to claim the winnings on his behalf by going to the lottery headquarters in Brussels, which is necessary for any prize over €100,000.
But he and two others were detained by police overnight as authorities suspected they had stolen the winning scratchcard. They were released after the winner explained the situation.
The card is now being held by a court in the town of Bruges, close to the port of Zeebrugge where it was bought.
Mr Verstraete says authorities have promised not to deport the man until he has received the prize money.
The winner left Algeria four months ago, travelling by boat to Spain, according to Belgian media. From there he went on foot through Spain and France before reaching Belgium.
He had wanted to travel on to the United Kingdom, but now says he would prefer to remain in Belgium, and hopes to start a family.
"I will also look for a wife," he told Het Laatste Nieuws. "Still, I am not going to find one with my money, but with my heart."

Crime › Re: A 14yrs Black Boy Who Was Sentenced To Death, 70yrs Later, Found To Be Innocent. by DaveHarry(m): 5:00pm On Apr 13, 2022 |
Wisemfon: A 14 YEARS BLACK BOY WHO WAS SENTENCED TO DEATH BY THE WHITES, 70YEARS LATER, HE WAS FOUND TO BE INNOCENT.
George Junius Stinney (1929-1944), the boy on the pictures, was born to a black family living in Alcolu, South Carolina, USA in October 21, 1929.
On March 24, 1944, two white girls, Betty Binnicker (11yrs) and Mary Thames(9yrs) were found dead in a ditch near Greenhill Babtist Church, Alcolu. Afterwards, George Stinney, a 14 years old black boy was arrested and charged for being responsible for the death of the white girls on the account that the girls were last seen with him.
He was detained in prison, not allowed to see his parents until after his trial. In his 81 days confinement, the police did not give him access to a lawyer, against US Law. He was, however, made to confess to a crime he obviously did not commit.
On April 24, Stinney was charged to court. The entire proceedings of the court, including the selection of the jury, for Stinney's trial took only a day. He was tried in a court filled with 1000 whites, no Blacks were allowed to enter. Sadly, the attorney given to him by the state, Charles Plowden, was a political figure, hence failed to call witnesses or any evidence to defend young Stinney. The prosecution team, in the other hand, failed to produces written and signed confession of Stinney as demanded by the law. Infact, he was also accused of rape. In all, the entire trial took only 2hrs and with only 10min of deliberation by the jury, death judgement by electrocution was pronounced on George Stinney.
Families, Churches, NGOs, Human Right Organizations protested, wrote and appealed to the Governor of South Carolina, Olin Johnston, to stop Stinney execution because of his age, but he failed to grant him clemency.
June 16, George Stinney was led to the police. He was made to sit in an oversize electric chair. Bible was used as a seat boaster because he was too small for the chair. Also, an oversize mask was put on him. 2400volts of electricity surged through his body, the mask flipped off, his eyes wide and teary, and saliva dripped out of his mouth, for all in the room to see. After two more jolts of electricity, at exactly 7:30pm, George Stinney was gone. Therefore he became the youngest to be sentenced to death in the whole of US history.
REOPENING OF GEORGE STINNEY TRIAL In 2004, a Historian, George Frierson, along with others, start a fresh investigation into Stinney's case and in 2014, having gathered enough evidence, challenged the court ruling of April 24, 1944 in another court. Frierson was able to identify the real culprit to be George Burke Jnr.(though late); a son of influential family, whose rather, George Burke Snr. was a member of the jury that pronounced judgement on Stinney. He, Burke Snr., Was also the owner of the territory behind the Greenhill Babtist Church were the girls' bodies were found. Wayne Burke, son of George Burke Jnr, was alleged to have confess of his father's deathbed congression about the killing of the girls— Wayne later denied it. Also when called to witness, Wilford Hunter, former cellmate with George Stinney, tell the court that Stinney had told him in the cell: "I did not kill them, they made me to confess". Several other witnesses was called upon including Stinney's brother and sister
At the end of it all, Judge Carmen Mullen ruled that George Stinney was INNOCENT, thus Stinney was exonerated after 70 years.
George Stinney was killed for nothing, for a crime he did not commit. He died. Why? Why should a 14yrs old boy made to confess without the guidance of his parents or lawyer? The trial of a murder case took only 2hrs? How? How would a jury deliberate for only 10min on one's life? This show a pre-determined judgement. If it was a white boy, i bet you, it would have last for days or years. But he was Black! Is it because he was black? What if he was white? Would he have died? For the exoneration after 70yrs, is it not medicine after dead?...
Racism is one of the devilish concept that has ticked against justice. If he was white, careful investigation could have ensured, hasty judgement would not have taken place. But then he was black!
I, in the word of Matthew Ashimolowo, ask the whole world, "WHAT IS WRONG WITH BEING BLACK?"

Days of education is the key don pass. The employers maybe just want people to realise that, that's why these kinds of vacancy ads. Trust Nigerians they still won't learn. Ignorant bunch! |
