Symbolic 5,160-year prison term is handed down for a massacre during Guatemala's civil war.

A Guatemalan court has sentenced a former soldier to 5,160 years in prison for a massacre during one of the worst atrocities of the Central American nation's civil war. The court on Wednesday sentenced Santos Lopez to 30 years for each of the 171 killings, or 5,130 years in total. He received an additional 30 years in jail
linked to the killing of a surviving child, but the sentences are symbolic because Guatemala's maximum prison term is 50 years.

Lopez was a member of a counterinsurgency force trained by the United States, called Kaibil. He was
arrested in the US and deported in 2016. According to the investigation, Lopez belonged to a patrol that committed the massacre in December 1982 in Dos
Erres, on the border with Mexico .

The soldiers were trying to recover about 20 rifles stolen by rebels during an earlier ambush which killed 19 troops.

'Finding Oscar'

The story of Dos Erres was told in the 2017 documentary "Finding Oscar", executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, which recounts the search for another boy whose life was spared and who was then raised by one of the soldiers. A handful of other "Kaibiles" have been convicted, each receiving a sentence of more than 6,000 years in prison. Three others convicted for the slaughter were jailed in the US for immigration violations. Several others are believed to reside in the US.

The massacre occurred during the rule of Efrain Rios Montt, who himself was indicted on charges of genocide and died in April. Montt allegedly ordered the murders of 1,771 indigenous Ixil-Maya people during his short reign in 1982-83, which came at the height of the 36-year civil war.

According to the United Nations, about 200,000 people died or were made to disappear during Guatemala's war, which ended in 1996.

US dropped two million tonnes of bombs on Laos at height of Vietnam War. Why are cluster munitions still killing?

Vientiane - This year's Thanksgiving celebration marks 50 years since the American military embarked on the
biggest bombing campaign in history, decimating the small Southeast Asian country of Laos by dropping more than two million tonnes of bombs on it at the height of the Vietnam War.

Half a century on, innocent lives are still being lost as the country struggles with the leftovers of the conflict. On Thanksgiving Day in November 1968, the United States escalated its war against North Vietnam in Laos.

Then-US President Lyndon B Johnson had ordered traditional turkey dinners to be helicoptered in to US troops who were secretly deployed in the quiet, landlocked country to sever the North Vietnamese supply lines that ran through the east.

At the same time, the US began dropping millions of tonnes of bombs - they "fell like rain" on the supply lines in Laos, a network of paths and tracks known as the Ho Chi Minh Trail, and most of the east of the country. That hugely redoubled effort to shut down the trail saw a planeload of bombs dropped on Laos every eight minutes, 24 hours a day, for nine years.

Now, some 80 million unexploded bombs and air-dropped cluster munitions left over continue to maim
and kill Laotian men, women and children.

Manixia Thor is a Laotian operations manager at the UK-based Mines Advisory Group (MAG), one of several
NGOs trying to clear the land of unexploded ordnance (UXO). "About 75 percent of injuries from cluster munitions involve children," she tells Al Jazeera, referring to the tennis-ball sized fragmentation bomblets that have acquired the local name "bombies".
They were dropped in their millions on Laos. Thousands of children have been killed or severely wounded by them, and Thor says they are "everywhere".

Unexploded cluster bombs are found in particularly large numbers in the northern province of Xiengkhouang, where Thor works, and where MAG
focuses its survey and clearance efforts. They look attractive to children; anything shaped like a ball is tempting for a child in a country as poor as Laos, where toys and other amusements are few and far between.

Calum Gibbs, a 26-year-old Scot working in the southern province of Savannakhet for HALO Trust, a UK-
based NGO focused on bomb clearance, says data suggests there have been 50,000 casualties since the war ended. Although the number of deaths has
fallen from the 200 to 300 annually in the 1990s to around 50 today, all uncleared land is potentially
dangerous.

Gibbs believes education is critical to avoiding death and injury among young children. "We get out and try and educate as much as possible, and show pictures of these things to kids," says Gibbs. "They have a UXO song, and the kids sing it so they remember that UXO are dangerous."

But it's not just children at risk. Most of Laos' predominantly rural population are involved in rice cultivation, and even on land that has been tilled, the
"bombies" are a threat.

Two decades ago in Xiengkhouang Province, unexploded cluster bombs lay scattered on the ground in rice fields, and farmers were careful to sow only the land around them. Many have since been destroyed by clearance teams, but others lurk beneath the surface.
"In some places where people plant rice, every year some pieces will come up," Thor says. "It still happens, even on cultivated land."

On forested land, the problem is worse, and as more vegetation is cleared to grow rice for Laos' expanding
population, more people are at risk. "In January 2000, about 4km from Phonsavan, a villager was digging and
found a big bomb," says Kongkeo Phanthaborivat, an entrepreneur from the Xiengkhouang provincial capital of Phonsavan. "They tried to open it by themselves, and the bomb exploded. Two people were killed at the same time."

And it's not only humans that trigger the explosives, but also animals. Despite the challenges, however, some
say the battle against the bombs is being won, albeit at a slow pace. By one estimate, it will be 200 years before Laos is safe again. Survey and clearance efforts received a boost when former US President Barack
Obama, in his final months in office, pledged to double his country's $45m, three-year contribution to dealing with the bombs.

But some are not convinced of funding promises that can be cut short by the stroke of a pen in Washington.
One staff member at a bomb disposal NGO, who requested anonymity, said one of the organisation's US
government donors has set unrealistic targets for land clearance, which if not met, could result in the withdrawal of its funding.

A local man, who also requested anonymity citing political sensitivities, says that at least 40 percent of donors' cash disappears into the pockets of "corrupt" officials and foreign NGO managers. But Thor, the NGO worker, holds on to optimism.

"The situation with UXO in Xiengkhouang is going to get a lot better because Obama gave more money for survey and clearance, and in the near future we're going to get some money from DFID [the UK's Department
for International Development] as well," she says. "We need as many resources as we can get. There's no limit."

The Goal 50 third best player in the world got a last-gasp winner to help the Pharaohs secure a victory against their rivals

Mohamed Salah has tendered his apology to a young girl who requested an early goal from the Liverpool star in Egypt's win over Tunisia in Alexandria.

The girl tweeted a photo where she held aloft a poster that read: "Salah please score. I want to go home, I have homework."


Salah would however score, but his goal - a well-taken one which involved a one-two with Salah Mohsen, nutmeg and cheeky chip over Tunisia goalkeeper, came in the 90th minute to help the Pharaoh clinch a 3-2 victory in the African Cup of Nations qualifier.

Salah - who moved past legendary Egyptian playmaker Mohamed Aboutrika in the national team scorers' chart to third with 39 goals in 62 appearances - then responded after the game, tendering his apology.

The Goal 50 star replied: “I really tried to let you go home early, and sorry to have kept you here until the last minute. I hope your teacher tomorrow understands the situation.”

Prior to the tie, Egypt and Tunisia had sealed qualifications for the Afcon finals but the result saw the Pharaohs move level with their visitors at the summit of Group J with 12 points from five matches.

Javier Aguirre's side will round up their qualification campaign with a fixture against Niger while Tunisia take on Eswatini in March 2019.

The Dorados manager believes Manchester
United's boss is the best in the world, even
above his cross-town rival

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is a
better manager than Manchester City counterpart
Pep Guardiola, according to Diego Maradona.
Guardiola led City to the Premier League title
last season and has his team flying again this
campaign, while Mourinho's United are
struggling, beaten in the derby on Sunday.
However, Maradona feels former Real Madrid,
Chelsea and Inter boss Mourinho is the world's
best coach, and believes Guardiola's style
works because of the buying power he's had
backing him throughout his career.

"For me yes, Mou is the best," he told Marca .
"I would give Pep the merit of taking advantage
of the launch that Johan Cruyff gave him.
"I have said on more than one occasion that
tiki-taka was not invented by Guardiola. It was
'Flaco' Cruyff.
"At the moment Pep is able to choose any
player in the world that he wants. That way tiki-
taka is easier."

Maradona, now in charge of Mexican second-
tier side Dorados , said he still had room to
improve as a coach.
Asked if he would be interested in coaching in
Spain, the 1986 World Cup winner said only a
"long-term project" would interest him, but first
he wants to go to Manchester to learn from
Mourinho.
"Myself as a coach I need to learn a lot and for
that reason I think I will go to Manchester and
Mourinho to ask him a lot of things," the
Argentina great said.
"Because he is the best without doubt."
Despite backing Mourinho as the better
manager, Maradona does admit that Guardiola's
City side are likely favourites to win the Premier
League again and praised the Spanish boss for
his understanding of the game.
"Yes they could win it," he said. "Before I spoke
about Pep and it is clear that he is a coach that
understands games better than a lot that think
they know it and then lose 3-0."
Guardiola and City hold a two-point lead over
Liverpool in the Premier League table, while
Mourinho's side sit eighth in the league table,
12 points back of first.

Sequel to the story released earlier, https://www.nairaland.com/4841953/salvadoran-rape-survivor-faces-prison
the trial was delayed, see reasons below

Judge postpones trial of Imelda Cortez, accused of aggravated attempted homicide, after prosecutor fails to show up.

Usulutan, El Salvador - A Salvadoran judge postponed the trial of a young woman, who is accused of attempted aggravated homicide for giving birth to her rapist's child in a toilet, on Monday after the public prosecutor failed to show up to court.

According to the judge, the prosecutor did not attend the scheduled proceedings due to a medical issue, but
lawyers for Imelda Cortez said their client is being denied justice. "It worries us because I don't think the
public prosecutor has much interest in the case," said Bertha De Leon, one of the lawyers. De Leon told Al Jazeera outside the court on Monday that the prosecutor's failure to show up demonstrated negligence.

Cortez, 20, is accused of attempted aggravated homicide of her newborn baby. She became pregnant at the age of 17 after being raped repeatedly by her stepfather.

Cortez, who said she was not aware she was pregnant at the time, suffered abdominal pain and went to the toilet where she fainted in April 2017. Her baby was found in the toilet. The baby survived, but Cortez was sent to jail to await trial. She faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted. Her stepfather has been charged with aggravated sexual assault of a minor and faces up to 15 years in prison, according to lawyers with the Citizen Group for the Depenalisation of Abortion.

This is the eighth time one of Cortez's hearings has been postponed, according to her lawyers. They had previously asked for the case to be terminated based on lack of evidence, but the request was denied. They also asked for Cortez to be released from prison while
awaiting trial, but that request was also denied.

The judge rescheduled the hearing for December 17,
saying the court is "very saturated" with hearings. Cortez's lawyers believe the repeated postponement of the case is preventing their client from accessing justice. "She is going to remain detained for more time while she is awaiting the sentence," De Leon said.

dimelo:
she was raped multiple times by her step father that alone is traumatic enough for her

I think Salvador need to review their law on abortion

imagine that she is even getting more sentence than her rapist of a step father

Imelda Cortez is charged with aggravated attempted homicide after giving birth to stepfather's child in a
latrine.

Usulutan, El Salvador - The trial of a young Salvadoran woman, who became pregnant after being raped and suffered complications during her pregnancy, is set to begin on Monday in the latest case tried under the country's strict abortion laws.

Imelda Cortez, 20, is accused of attempted aggravated homicide of her newborn baby. She became pregnant at the age of 17 after being raped repeatedly by her stepfather. Cortez, who said she was not aware she was pregnant at the time, suffered abdominal pains and went to the toilet where she fainted in April 2017. Her baby was found in the toilet. The baby survived, but Cortez was sent to jail to await trial. She faces up to 20
years in prison if convicted.

Her stepfather has been charged with aggravated sexual assault of a minor and faces up to 15 years in prison, according to lawyers with the Citizen Group for the Depenalisation of Abortion.

Cortez's lawyers had previously asked the judge to suspend the case due to lack of evidence of an attempted aggravated homicide. Medical reports
from government institution Legal Medicine show that the young mother experienced a natural birth with no
signs of having induced it herself. The baby did not show signs of aggression after birth, the institution reported. A verdict in the case is expected
sometime this week.

Cortez is one of the dozens of Salvadoran women accused of attempting to kill their babies in a country with a total abortion ban and some of the highest rates of disapproval of legalising abortion.

The Central American country criminalised abortion in all circumstances in 1998 when the country rewrote the penal code to remove previous exceptions that allowed abortion in some cases. Since then, El Salvador has put dozens of women behind bars for suspected abortions.

In the face of national and international pressure, El Salvador released some women imprisoned for suspected abortions earlier in the year. This included Teodora Carmen Vasquez, who was released in February after serving more than 10 years in prison for
aggravated homicide in one of the most high-profile cases of women imprisoned for abortion in El Salvador.

Carmen Vasquez was convicted in 2008 for allegedly aborting her child and sentenced to 30 years in prison. She maintained she suffered a stillbirth after health complications. Her sentence was reduced before her
release.

Since Carmen Vasquez was allowed to walk free, at least four other women have been released.
"For us women who have been detained in a prison for late-term obstetric emergencies, I consider the system unjust because they have not investigated the things as they have happened," Carmen Vasquez told Al Jazeera in September. "They've accused us of something that we've never done, just because we had these emergencies outside a hospital."

Sara Garcia, an activist with the Citizen Group for the Depenalisation of Abortion, called the failed attempts a
"step backwards for the assembly, for our democracy and for the human rights of women".

She also called on the international community to "be alert because sexual and reproductive rights often take a back seat when there are these steps backwards for human rights. The worst part is always lived by women." Carmen Vasquez stands in solidarity with Cortez because they've gone through the same experience, with just one difference. "Now, I'm free and she's still going through this process," she said. "They
should investigate the cases well to serve justice as it should be."

Bodies of Tala and Rotana Farea were
found taped together at a riverbank in
New York without obvious signs of
trauma.

Saudi Arabia has denied any
involvement in the death of two Saudi
sisters studying in the United States, a
spokesperson for the kingdom's
embassy in Washington, DC, said.
The two young women, identified as
Rotana Farea, 22, and her sister Tala, 16,
were found on the banks of the Hudson
River on October 24 with no visible
signs of trauma.
The women were dressed all in black
and bound together at the ankles and
waist by duct tape.

According to local media reports, the
sisters' mother told US detectives that
she had received a phone call from the
Saudi embassy in Washington ordering
the family to leave the US.

The sisters had reportedly applied for
political asylum in the US.
However, the Saudi embassy
spokesperson denied the women were
ordered to come back to Saudi Arabia.
"Reports that we ordered anyone
related to the Saudi sisters to leave the
US for seeking asylum are absolutely
false," Fatimah Baeshen said on Twitter
on Saturday.
"Details are still under investigation and
will be shared in due course."

The sister had a
history of
running away
from their
family's home in
Virginia where
they had not
lived since the
end of 2017.
Investigators said they had not
determined the circumstances
surrounding their fate, but were
"puzzled" as to how they came to be
found dead on a riverbank more than
400km from their family's home.
They had been placed in a shelter but
left Fairfax County in August and set
out for New York.
They stayed in several different upscale
hotels in the city and maxed out a
credit card, according to an New York
Police Department (NYPD) spokesman
quoted by US media.
A witness reportedly saw the two girls
early on October 24 on a playground
near the Hudson, where they appeared
to be praying.
The NYPD said the two sisters were
alive when they entered the river that
separates New York from New Jersey.
On Friday, the police said they had no
evidence indicating that two sisters had
been killed.

"There is nothing pointing to a crime as
of yet," said an NYPD spokesperson,
adding that "it is still very much a live
investigation" without providing details
of any probable cause of death.
Suicide is among the hypotheses as to
the cause of their deaths.
The case has received considerable
media exposure in the aftermath of the
killing of Saudi journalist Jamal
Khashoggi at Saudi Arabia's consulate
in Istanbul.

The New York
Police
Department sent
a detective to
Virginia to learn
more about the
sisters.
Chief of detectives Dermot Shea said
they were interested in finding out
what happened since they were
reported missing, and what led them to
New York City.
"We are looking at all clues in their past
life," Shea was quoted as saying.

The octogenarian, who was known for
his Afghan Taliban support, was found
dead at his residence in city of
Rawalpindi.

A Pakistani political and religious leader
has been killed by unknown attackers
at his residence in the northern city of
Rawalpindi, according to family
members and officials.
Sami-ul-Haq, 80, was stabbed to death
in his bed on Friday, his son
Hamidullah told local television news
channel ARY by telephone.
"He was resting in his room ... He had
been ill, and was a heart patient," said
Hamidullah.
"His guard had left the room for 15
minutes, when he returned he found
Maulana [Haq]'s body covered in blood
in his bed."

Saeed-ur-Rehman Sarwar, a leader of
Haq's JUI-S political party, also
confirmed the killing.
"Maulana Sami-ul-Haq has been killed,"
he said from outside the government
hospital where his body was taken.

Who was Sami-ul-Haq?

A divisive figure,
Haq was known
as the "Father of
the Taliban".
He led the
ideological fight
that led to the formation of the
mujahideen force that first fought the
Soviet invasion of Afghanistan , and
later morphed into the Afghan Taliban .
Haq was the chief of the Darul Uloom
Haqqania seminary in the northern
Pakistani town of Akora Khattak, the
alma mater of several senior leaders of
the Afghan Taliban, including former
chief Mullah Omar and Mullah Akhtar
Mansour.
He openly backed the Afghan Taliban in
its fight against the Afghan government
and the United States-led NATO forces
in Pakistan's northwestern neighbour.
Within Pakistan, Haq was considered a
hardline right-wing religious leader, but
his party contested elections, rather
than outright backing armed struggle
against the state, as was undertaken by
the Pakistan Taliban .
He was a former senator, having served
in Pakistan's upper house of parliament
for multiple terms in the 1980s and
1990s, and again from 2003 to 2009.
Prime Minister Imran Khan , in China on
a state visit, issued a statement
condemning the attack on Haq.

The proposed £600 million sale of Wembley stadium collapsed because of "old men" who are "living in the past," former Football Association (FA) chairman Greg Dyke has told the BBC. Dyke blamed opposition from the FA Council for causing Shahid Khan, the owner of Premier League club Fulham and the Jacksonville Jaguars NFL team, to withdraw his offer to buy the stadium in a deal that would have helped fund grassroots football.
The council, which has almost 130 mostly male members, should not have been making the decision in any case, Dyke, who was FA chairman from 2013 to 2016, argued. "If I'd been chairman, I would have said it is the [FA) board's decision," he told the BBC's Sportsweek programme on Sunday. "I don't think the council is equipped to make this decision -- that is what the FA board is for. "The council is living in the past, as it always has done. If you want to have a step change in grassroots facilities in this country you need this sort of money to be spent. "It's bizarre that the old men of the FA Council have stopped this."
Khan made his offer in April, and the full FA Council was to have voted on whether to accept it on Oct. 24. However, on Wednesday the FA's chief executive Martin Glenn said Khan had withdrawn his offer.
"At a recent meeting with Mr Khan he expressed to us that, without stronger support from within the game, his offer is being seen as more divisive than it was anticipated to be and has decided to withdraw his proposal," Glenn said.

It was a long and nightmarish
northern summer for Nigeria striker Odion Ighalo,
who has rebounded to not only top of the scoring
list in these Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, but
worm his way back into the hearts of Super Eagles
fans.

After a dire World Cup campaign, where he was
roundly blamed for the defeat to Argentina that saw
the Africans crash out of the tournament, he's gone
on to score five goals in two qualifier games
against Libya.

Scoring a hat-trick, he heard his name sung from
the stands as he was subbed off after 75 minutes
of the first game on the weekend. He was then
serenaded by supporters in the second game on
Tuesday, as he scored twice and provided one
assist.

Beaming as he deflected personal praise in his first
interview since the World Cup, the trademark Ighalo
smile, which had been dimmed for months, flashed
as he pointed to team effort instead.
"The team really worked hard, it is a good team
performance and I am happy to score five goals in
two games but it is an all-round performance and I
am happy with the team performance.
"We are 99 per cent sealed the ticket to the Cup of
Nations," he told KweséESPN in an exclusive
interview in Sfax, Tunisia, where the second match
was played.

But all of this nearly did not happen. Sitting down in
the changing room of the Taieb Mhiri Stadium,
Ighalo reflected on what has been a challenging last
few months for him and his family.
For a fleeting moment, the ever-present smile
turned wry, then retreated as Ighalo opened up
about how he and his family -- including his
children -- endured vitriolic abuse, and even
received death threats on social media, after a
World Cup performance where even he admitted he
had not played up to his own high standards.

Things got so bad, Ighalo said, that he came this
close to packing it all in.
"I know the fans want me to score goals. I
understand them," the China-based striker said. "But
some of them took it to another level.
"They said a lot of things. To my innocent kids, to
my wife, even to the extent they threatened my life
and the life of my family."

Despite trying to remain above it all and not
respond to critics, he was deeply hurt by the
attacks on his family, especially his children.
"I felt very bad [when they went after my family]. I
had to talk to my wife because she could not take
it. Some words they said about my kids, about me.
Some words they said to her, threatening and all
that. That is beyond football.

"You know women and how they react when you
talk about their children. But I never said a word to
nobody and I never replied anybody."

He did not have to take any action to protect his
family, as they live in England while he plays in
China for Changchun Yatai. But with all of that
going on, it was only natural that the forward
wanted to quit, especially when his wife advised
him to.

"My wife said 'you don't have to go there [to
Nigeria] any more' and it was because of all what
they said to her and to our family."
It took national team coach Gernot Rohr's
intervention to convince Ighalo to come back and
suit up in green and white again.

Ighalo explained: "I want to thank Rohr because
after the World Cup and all those things happened,
he called me before the Seychelles game [in
September] and I told him I was contemplating
stopping because it is not easy.
"But the coach had belief in me. He said 'I know
you are a good goalscorer and I know you can do
it. Come and show them that you can score.'
"If a coach believes in me, then I will come. I told
hm 'coach, if I am in your plans hundred percent
then I will honour the invitation any time you call
me.'

"He said 'yes, you you are in my plans for the
games'. Then he said 'don't be under pressure, just
go do your thing, I know you can do it.'
"That gave me the confidence which I believed that
I needed. I want to thank him for defending me, and
giving me the words like a father, encouraging me,
talking to me. He gave me more belief and I thank
God for repaying him with these goals."

Ighalo has since disabled comments on his
Instagram account, where he is still active, and
rarely appears in front of the media. And he has no
intention of changing that decision anytime soon.
So does he feel like he has proven all those
doubters wrong?

"I am not trying to prove anybody wrong," he said.
"I am just trying to work hard for my country and I
always give hundred percent.
"Unfortunately, it didn't happen the way I wanted it
at the World Cup. But life did not end there. I went
back to my club, and I continued my game.
"Now I am back here to play for my country. I just
want to give hundred percent whenever I play, goal
or no goal. As long as the team wins, I am
satisfied."

Nigeria's next Afcon qualifier is against South Africa
on 16 November.

The body of 30-year-old Viktoria
Marinova was found in a park, showing
signs of blows to the head and
suffocation.

An investigative television journalist
has been raped and murdered in
Bulgaria's northern town of Ruse,
according to officials.
The body of 30-year-old Viktoria
Marinova, whom authorities identified
only by her initials, was found on
Saturday in a park, Ruse regional
prosecutor Georgy Georgiev said on
Sunday.

"Her mobile phone, car keys, glasses
and part of her clothes were missing,"
he said.
She was killed by blows on the head
and suffocation, Georgiev said, adding
that prosecutors were probing all leads
- both personal and linked to
Marinova's job.

Interior Minister Mladen Marinov later
confirmed to journalists that the victim
had also been raped.
Prime Minister Boyko Borisov expressed
hope that the investigation would
succeed because of the "work that has
been done".
"Thanks to the large amount of DNA
material collected it is just a matter of
time before the perpetrator will be
found," he said.
Police sources told the AFP news
agency that the crime did not
immediately appear linked to her work.
