A 7.3 magnitude earthquake has struck the border region between Iraq and Iran, killing dozens of people on the Iranian side and injured hundreds more, according to state media. The US Geological Survey (USGS) said Sunday's powerful quake hit close to Halabjah, southeast of Sulaymaniyah, a city in the semi-autonomous Kurdish region of northern Iraq. The tremor, which was felt as far away as Qatar, struck at 9:18pm local time (18:18) GMT. Its epicentre was at a depth of 33.9km. Iranian news agency ISNA said at least 61 people were killed and 300 injured in Kermanshah province on the Iraqi border. Advertisement Most of the victims are believed to be in the town of Sarpol- e Zahab. Iranian media said rescue teams have been deployed in the area amid fears the death toll will rise. Earlier on Sunday, Faramarz Akbari, governor of Iran's Qasr-e Shirin city, had told Iran's state-run IRNA news agency that there were at least two fatalities. He also said that estimating damages is impossible due to a massive power cut. Crossed by several major fault lines, Iran is one of the world's most seismically active countries. In 2003, a 6.6 magnitude earthquake flattened the historic city of Bam in southeastern Iran, killing some 26,000 people. Powerful tremor On the other side of the border, Sulaymaniyah officials declared an emergency in the early hours of Monday to assess the aftermath of the quake, according to local Kurdish media. Al Jazeera's Imran Khan, reporting from the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, said cars came to a standstill in the city as the buildings began to sway. "Baghdad is not prone to earthquakes so when people began to come outside, the shock was visible on the faces," he said. "For the first few seconds, I actually thought an explosion had taken place, but as it carried on - for up to a minute - I realised it was an earthquake," he added. Pictures and footage published on social media showed people seeking safety in the streets of Sulaymaniyah while the interiors of buildings shook. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/11/northern-iraq-rocked-72-magnitude-earthquake-171112184114150.html

The sport of cycling is fast becoming synonymous
with Rwanda. The sport is increasingly getting
popular in this famously hilly country.
According to the latest International Cycling Union
(UCI) national ranking, Rwanda is sixth on the
African continent only behind Eritrea, Morocco,
South AfricaAlgeria and Ethiopia.
In East Africa, cycling is generally less developed.
In Rwanda, the sport is relatively popular in large
part due to the famous Tour du Rwanda, an annual
cycling competition that has taken place since 2001.
In 2009, the race was incorporated into UCI Africa as
a 2.2 category race.

sarrki:Lol monkey admitting slavery was good. God bless you simian nice debate from Spencer though he supposed to have finished the feral black with these points: “If White, Western society is so oppressive, then why are you living in the UK?” “Why are there millions of blacks starving to death in modern day Africa but not in the US?” “You pride yourself on being black but yet you don’t want to live in Africa and call yourself British. Why is that? The British colonized and ‘oppressed’ Africa, so why would you want to inherit and embrace their culture over your own?” “I see you have an iPhone. Who do you give credit to for producing this product: the dim-lit factory workers, or the engineers and product managers who designed and implemented the device?” (in order to shut down the nigger’s myopic “but slaves built ‘society’” argument) “Are you saying everything in America was built on tobacco and cotton?” “Name 5 major positive contributions that blacks have given America. And no, peanut butter, rap music and AIDS don’t count.” “Your ancestors spent tens of thousands of years in Africa, but because your parents decided to immigrate to Britain 30 years ago or so suddenly all that goes out the window and you’re exactly the same as a Caucasian British person. A person who’s ancestors spent centuries developing their own distinct culture, heritage, history, gene pool, etc. Can you explain how this makes any sense?” “Do I suddenly become black if I move to Lagos, Nigeria?” “How do you think your ancestors would feel knowing that you’ve completely abandoned your African heritage in order to favor that of the White ‘oppressor’, who ‘enslaved’ millions of you own ‘people’?” 1 Like |

“We recorded children attempting to remove the teeth of several whales with nothing more than a pocket knife as well as removing slices of what appeared to be a tumour on one whale,” the volunteer said. Fox News reported the island's government said 1,700 pilot whales and white-sided dolphins (including the aforementioned hunts) have been caught in the Faroe Islands so far this year. The hunts have been taking place for hundreds of years and happen several times a year It's claimed the dolphins die within seconds after being cut open with a spinal lance Blood from the butchered creatures creates a truly horrific sight During their migrations, the pilot whales are driven into shallow waters and killed The hunts, which are legal in Denmark, date back to the 16th century. One shocked witness said 'whales were seemingly bashing their heads against the stones in the frenzy' Thrashing around, the terrified dolphins have no chance as they are driven into the shallow water When whales are spotted during their migration, fisherman will head out in boats and surround the herd in a massive convoy driving them to shore at one of 19 designated killing zones. The "Grindadrap", the Faroese term for whale killing, happens several times a year. The government defended the bloody practice, telling Fox News: "Sea Shepherd representatives will go to any lengths to paint a negative picture of the Faroese whale hunt as barbaric and evil with the aim of inciting anger and outrage against the people of the Faroe Islands. A butchered dolphin, one of hundreds killed in just a few months during Faroe Island hunts Posing as tourists, the volunteers watched in horror at a number of hunts during the summer "Catches are shared largely without the exchange of money among the participants in a whale drive and residents of the local district where they are landed. "Each whale provides the communities with several hundred kilos of meat and blubber – meat that otherwise had to be imported from abroad." Officials said the annual catch of pilot whales "represents one per cent of the total estimated stock". Sea Shepherd protest the mass slaughter of pilot whales and dolphins in the Faroe Islands. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/4876161/faroe-islands-whales-dolphins-killed-hunted/

Fishermen drive herds of pilot whales and Atlantic white-sided
dolphins into shallow waters.
They are then killed through a spinal lance that is driven through
the animals' neck to break their spinal cords.
Volunteers, posing as tourists, watched nine hunts from July to
September that they claim wiped out 198 dolphins and 436
whales.
One Sea Shepherd volunteer told Fox News: "Witnessing a grind
first hand was truly an eye-opening experience.

Twenty five people have killed in Texas in a community church. The perpetrator alleged to be a member of the religion of peace have been shot dead by cops....... The shooting was reported at First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, which is about 35 miles east of San Antonio. Constable Thomas Silvas from Precinct 1 in Wilson County confirmed to Fox News that officials were working on removing the bodies, but did not specify the number of people who were dead or wounded. Silvas did not provide further details on the incident. A witness told KSAT that a man walked into the church about 11:30 a.m. Sunday and opened fire at the crowd of people. The church holds morning worship services at 11 a.m., according to its website. Helicopters and emergency personnel were seen arriving at the scene. https://dailystormer.ws/texas-church-massacre-16-shot/ |
