PoliticsRe: The Biafran War: Who Was The Aggressor? by GothamCities(op):
FourQu:
Well in that case, the pogroms on igbos by the notherners is exactly what prompted the aburi accords that the federal government later renegade on . . .

So safe to say, the northerners caused the war right?
The issue surrounding the causes of the Nigerian Civil War is complex, with multiple factors contributing to the conflict. The pogroms against the Igbos in the North in 1966 were indeed one of the key triggers that escalated tensions, leading to the eventual Biafran secession and war. These events, however, must be understood in the broader historical context.

The Pogroms and Ethnic Tensions

Following the first coup in January 1966, led by predominantly Igbo officers, which resulted in the assassination of several prominent northern leaders, ethnic tensions in Nigeria were exacerbated. Many in the North believed that the coup was an Igbo attempt to dominate the country politically. This led to a counter-coup in July 1966, led by northern officers, which resulted in the killing of the Igbo military head of state, Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, and other Igbo soldiers.

In the months following the counter-coup, large-scale massacres (often referred to as pogroms) against Igbos living in the North took place. Thousands of Igbos were killed, and many fled back to the southeastern region. These atrocities further fueled the desire for secession in the East, as the Igbos felt unsafe and marginalized within the Nigerian federation.

The Aburi Accord

In January 1967, Nigerian military leaders, including General Yakubu Gowon and Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu, met in Aburi, Ghana, in an attempt to resolve the growing tensions and avoid civil war. The Aburi Accord was reached, which called for a more decentralized Nigeria, with regional autonomy to address the grievances of the Eastern region and prevent further violence.

However, upon returning to Nigeria, the federal government later reneged on parts of the Aburi Accord. The disagreement over the implementation of the accord further deepened the divide, and in May 1967, Ojukwu declared the Republic of Biafra.

Who Caused the War?

While the pogroms were a major factor in pushing the Eastern region toward secession, it's an oversimplification to say that "the northerners caused the war." The Nigerian Civil War was the result of a complex series of events, including ethnic tensions, political instability, the coups and counter-coups, and the failure of peaceful negotiations like the Aburi Accord. The northern-led massacres of Igbos did contribute significantly to the war, but the war itself cannot be solely attributed to one side or event.

The decision by Ojukwu to declare Biafran independence after the failed implementation of the Aburi Accord was the direct catalyst for the war, as it led to a military confrontation with the federal government. Gowon, as head of state, acted to preserve the unity of Nigeria, which was his constitutional duty, even though this action led to war.

The pogroms against Igbos in the North were a tragic and crucial factor in the lead-up to the Nigerian Civil War. They created a deep sense of insecurity and resentment among the Igbos, contributing to their desire for secession. However, the war itself was the result of a series of events involving political, ethnic, and military actions on both sides. Blaming one side exclusively for causing the war overlooks the complexities of the situation and the failures of all parties involved to find a peaceful solution. However, the Igbo.coup was what triggered the series of events leading to the war.
PoliticsThe Biafran War: Who Was The Aggressor? by GothamCities(op): 3:43pm On Oct 21, 2024
The Biafran War: Who Was the Aggressor?

The Biafran War, or the Nigerian Civil War, is a deeply emotional subject for many Nigerians, especially the Igbos who bore most of the brunts of the casualties. The scars of that conflict still run deep, and figures like General Yakubu Gowon, who led the federal government during that time, are often seen in a negative light. However, to fully grasp the complexities of the war, we must understand the events that led up to it, including the raids that sparked the conflict. At its core, the war was a tragic consequence of circumstances that forced Gowon to defend the integrity of the Nigerian state.

The Constitutional Duty of Yakubu Gowon

As head of state, Yakubu Gowon was bound by the Nigerian constitution to defend the unity and territorial integrity of the nation. When Lt. Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu declared the southeastern region as the independent Republic of Biafra in May 1967, it created a constitutional crisis. Gowon, faced with a potential disintegration of Nigeria, was left with little choice but to act. His decision to go to war was not one of personal ambition but a constitutional necessity. Allowing Biafra to secede would have set a dangerous precedent for other regions to follow, leading to the eventual breakup of Nigeria into weaker nations.

While the war was a catastrophe that led to immense loss of life, it is crucial to see Gowon’s actions in the context of his constitutional duty. He was not merely defending the northern part of Nigeria but fighting to preserve the nation as a whole.

Timeline of the Biafran War

1. May 1967 – Declaration of Biafra: The war’s origins lie in the political tensions that followed the first military coup in 1966, which saw the assassination of several northern leaders. This led to a counter-coup, which heightened ethnic tensions, especially between the north and the southeast. After a series of failed peace negotiations, Ojukwu declared the southeastern region an independent state, the Republic of Biafra, on May 30, 1967.

2. July 1967 – Raids and Biafran Aggression: In response to the declaration of Biafra, hostilities escalated. Biafran forces began to conduct raids into Nigerian territories, pushing into the Midwest region. On July 6, 1967, Biafran troops, under Ojukwu's command, launched a full-scale invasion of Nigeria by crossing the River Niger and capturing several towns, including Benin and Ore. These actions forced the hand of the federal government, making it clear that Gowon could not sit idly by while Biafran forces took over parts of the country.

3. July 1967 – Federal Response: Gowon ordered the Nigerian army to retaliate, marking the official beginning of the civil war. The federal forces counter-attacked to reclaim the captured territories, pushing back the Biafran troops. The war quickly escalated as both sides engaged in full-scale combat.

4. October 1967 – Recapture of the Midwest: By October 1967, the Nigerian military successfully recaptured the Midwest region, including key cities like Benin and Asaba. This marked a significant turning point in the war, with the Nigerian government now on the offensive.

5. [/b]1968-1969 – Blockades and Starvation[/b]: One of the most tragic elements of the war was the blockade imposed by the Nigerian government on Biafra. This strategy aimed to cut off supplies to the secessionist state, leading to widespread famine and starvation in Biafra. By 1968, pictures of starving Biafran children had captured global attention, but the war raged on.

6. January 1970 – End of the War: The war came to an official end on January 15, 1970, when Ojukwu fled to Ivory Coast and Biafran forces surrendered to the federal government. General Philip Effiong, who took over from Ojukwu, formally surrendered to Gowon, bringing the conflict to a close. In his post-war speech, Gowon declared that there was "no victor, no vanquished," emphasizing the need for reconciliation and rebuilding.

The Historical Aggressor: Setting the Record Straight

While many perceive Gowon as the aggressor due to his role in the conflict, it is important to set the historical record straight. Biafran forces, under Ojukwu’s leadership, initiated the military hostilities by launching raids and seizing key Nigerian territories. This left Gowon with no choice but to respond militarily to defend the nation’s sovereignty. As a head of state, his primary duty was to protect Nigeria’s territorial integrity, which had been violated by the Biafran military incursions.

The Past is Now Bygone. We Must embracing Unity

The war left deep wounds, particularly for the Igbos, who lost thousands of lives during the conflict. It is understandable that these memories remain painful. However, holding on to these grievances prevents the healing process that Nigeria desperately needs. The war is a part of our collective history, but it must not be the defining feature of our future.

The Igbos remain a vital part of Nigeria’s fabric, contributing immensely to its economy, culture, and politics. Letting go of past wounds and embracing a united Nigeria is the path forward, not just for Igbos but for all Nigerians. Only through unity can we achieve the collective prosperity we all desire.

The Benefits of a United Nigeria

A fragmented Nigeria would be far weaker, both economically and geopolitically. The benefits of remaining united as a nation far outweigh the prospects of smaller breakaway states.

1. Economic Power: Nigeria’s vast natural resources, including its oil reserves, agricultural potential, and human capital, make it a key player on the global stage. A united Nigeria is better equipped to harness these resources for the benefit of all its citizens.

2. International Influence: As the largest country in Africa by population, Nigeria commands respect and influence in international diplomacy, trade, and politics. A divided Nigeria would lose much of this influence, leaving the breakaway nations weaker on the global stage.

3. Security: Unity brings strength in numbers. A united Nigeria is better positioned to defend itself from internal and external threats. Divided, the smaller states would be more vulnerable to exploitation, violence, and instability.

4. Cultural Strength: Nigeria’s strength lies in its diversity. The richness of our cultural heritage, from the Igbos to the Yorubas, Hausas, and other ethnic groups, creates a unique national identity. Unity allows us to celebrate and benefit from this diversity.

Fighting the Real Enemy: Corruption and Bad Leadership

The real enemy we face today is not each other—it is the systemic corruption and bad leadership that have stifled Nigeria’s development for decades. Corruption is what has held us back from reaching our full potential, depriving us of the basic infrastructure, services, and opportunities we deserve as a nation.

Instead of being divided by the memories of the Biafran War, we must unite to tackle the corruption that continues to rob us of our future. Together, we can demand better leadership and accountability from those in power.

Together, we can build a Nigeria that serves all its people, not just the privileged few.

A Call for Unity

To my Igbo brothers and sisters, I understand the pain that history has brought upon you. But I also see the immense potential that you hold as part of this great nation. Together, as Nigerians, we can create a future where everyone thrives, where our children will not have to relive the horrors of the past.

Let us come together to build a Nigeria that is united, strong, and prosperous. Let us fight the right battles—the battle against corruption, against poverty, and against bad leadership. Only by standing united can we create the Nigeria we all dream of.

It’s time to let go of the past and embrace the possibilities of a united Nigeria, where our collective strength can propel us to heights we cannot reach alone.

"The Lord reigns over the nations; God sits on His holy throne." - Psalm 47:8

This is nothing but the truth.

God's sovereignty extends far beyond individual lives to encompass the vast expanse of human history and the rise and fall of nations. The Bible declares:

1. God appoints leaders: "He changes times and seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings." - Daniel 2:21

2. God orchestrates global events: "The Lord works out everything to its proper end." - Proverbs 16:4

3. God judges nations: "For the Lord will judge all mankind." - Romans 3:6

Examples from history:

1. Assyria's downfall (Zephaniah 2:13-15)
2. Babylon's rise and fall (Daniel 2, 4)
3. Israel's restoration (Amos 9:14-15)

God's sovereignty ensures:

1. Justice: Nations will be held accountable.
2. Purpose: History unfolds according to God's plan.
3. Hope: God's kingdom will ultimately prevail.

Scriptures:

- Psalm 22:28: "For dominion belongs to the Lord and He rules over the nations."
- Isaiah 40:15-17: "The nations are like a drop in a bucket."
- Revelation 11:15: "The kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord."

Christianity EtcRe: This is why Everyone Everywhere Must Give Honour to the God of Israel. by GothamCities(op): 8:46am On Oct 20, 2024
Fulfilled Prophecies Evidently Confirmf God's Sovereignty

The Bible contains numerous prophecies about nations and empires. The ones up there are just very few. The staggering amount of prophecies and their fulfilment is overwhelming. We're talking about prophecies that have been remarkably fulfilled.

Let's see this example about Tyre, one of the great nations of ancient times. It's quite unbelievable that Tyre can be destroyed.

Tyre's Destruction (Ezekiel 26:3-5, 14):
Ezekiel prophesied Tyre's destruction, specifying that it would be invaded, its walls breached, and its stones scattered. In 586 BCE, Nebuchadnezzar conquered Tyre, and later, Alexander the Great destroyed the city and did exactly what the scriptures foretold without knowing what he was doing.

Fulfilled prophecies over nations serve as powerful evidence for:

1. God's existence
2. His creation of the world
3. His involvement in human history

The accuracy and specificity of these prophecies defy natural explanation, pointing to a divine Author who shapes the course of human events.

Fulfilled Biblical Prophecies Prove God’s Sovereignty Over Nations

The Bible contains numerous prophecies concerning the fates of various nations, many of which have been fulfilled with astonishing accuracy. These prophecies serve to illustrate that the God who determined the future of these nations is indeed the Creator of the world. His word has come to pass exactly as foretold.

1. The Eternal Destruction of Assyria

Prophecy:
Assyria, a dominant empire of the ancient world, was prophesied to face total destruction, with its capital, Nineveh, reduced to ruins and the land scraped bare.

Key Scripture:

Micah 5:6 - "They will shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword... He will deliver us from the Assyrian when he invades our land."

Nahum 3:17-19- "Your guards are like the locusts... Your shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria; your nobles lie down. Your people are scattered on the mountains with no one to gather them."

Zephaniah 2:13 - "He will stretch out His hand against the north and destroy Assyria, making Nineveh a desolation, dry as the desert."

Micah’s prophecy (around 700 B.C.) foretold the fall of Assyria, culminating in 612 B.C. when the Babylonians and Medes invaded and completely destroyed Nineveh.

Historical accounts detail how the invading army not only destroyed the city but also stripped the land of its resources—cutting down timber and scraping soil to use for building fortifications elsewhere. This is confirmed in Zephaniah 2:13, which emphasizes the complete desolation of Assyria.

Archaeological findings have supported this narrative. The ruins of Nineveh lie buried under layers of earth, with evidence of destruction evident in the remnants of the once-thriving city. The Tigris River’s floods further eroded parts of Nineveh, symbolizing the literal "scraping" of the land as foretold in Scripture. Today, the site of Nineveh remains uninhabited, with no trace of the once-great empire of Assyria, just as the Bible foretold. God did exactly as He said He'll do against Assyria.

Fulfillment: About 50 years after Micah’s prophecy, Nineveh was destroyed, and Assyria has remained desolate for over 2,600 years.

2. The Destruction of Babylon

Prophecy:
Babylon, the jewel of ancient kingdoms, was prophesied to fall and become a wasteland inhabited by wild animals, including jackals and owls. God said that Babylon would never be rebuilt again.

Key Scripture:

Isaiah 13:19-22 "Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms, will be overthrown by God like Sodom and Gomorrah... Owls will dwell there and wild goats will leap about."

Jeremiah 51:26 - "No rock will be taken from you for a cornerstone, nor any stone for a foundation, for you will be desolate forever."

Isaiah's prophecy (around 700 B.C.) foretold Babylon’s destruction, predicting that it would become desolate. In 539 B.C., the city was captured by the Persians under Cyrus the Great. However, the prophecy about Babylon’s complete desolation became fully fulfilled around 100AD.

Attempts to rebuild Babylon began shortly after its fall, with notable efforts by Alexander the Great in 331 B.C. His plans were thwarted by his untimely death. The most ambitious attempt came in the late 20th century when Saddam Hussein sought to rebuild Babylon. Despite his efforts to restore the city as a showcase of Iraqi heritage, those attempts also fell short, leading to further ruin instead of restoration. No man can rebuild what God has destroyed.

The ruins of Babylon have become a habitat for wildlife, with reports of owls and jackals making their homes among the remains. This is exactly what God said He'll do to Babylon, and He has done as He has said.

Fulfillment: The initial downfall of Babylon occurred about 161 years after Isaiah’s prophecy, and the city has remained a desolate ruin, with no successful attempts at rebuilding, fulfilling the prophecy completely. 2600 years later, Babylon remain in ruins with jackals and owls and other wild animals inhabiting the desolate place. Bible prophecy fulfilled even to the animals that would roam the ancient world power.

3. The Regathering of Israel

Prophecy:
God promised that after being scattered among the nations, Israel would be regathered to its homeland. He declared that He would "raise a signal for the nations", prompting them to assist in this return.

Key Scripture:

Isaiah 11:12 - "He will raise a signal for the nations and will assemble the banished of Israel and gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth."

Isaiah delivered this prophecy around 700 B.C. This miraculous event came to fruition in 1948, when the modern State of Israel was established. The United Nations, perhaps unknowingly, responded to the "signal to the Nations" mentioned in Isaiah's prophecy by voting for the creation of Israel. Jews from all corners of the earth began to return to their ancestral homeland, fulfilling God’s word in remarkable detail.

Fulfillment:

Approximately 2,648 years after Isaiah’s prophecy, Israel was regathered, marking the fulfillment of a prophecy awaited for nearly two millennia. Most significantly, God said He'll raise a signal to the Nations to facilitate the return of the Jews to their land. The United Nations fulfilled the prophecy without knowing what they were doing. God is indeed sovereign over the Nations.

4. Egypt as a Lowly Nation

Prophecy:
Egypt, once a powerful empire, was prophesied to become a lowly nation that would never rise again to prominence among the nations.

Key Scripture:

Ezekiel 29:14-15 - "I will bring back the captives of Egypt... It will be a lowly kingdom. It will never again exalt itself above the nations."

Ezekiel’s prophecy was delivered around 593-571 B.C. Egypt’s decline began after the Babylonian conquest in 605 B.C. during which period the Egyptians were scattered in captivity. God brought back the captivity of Egypt as prophesied. Egypt became a nation again.

However, over the centuries, Egypt has been ruled by various foreign powers, including the Persians, Greeks, Romans, and Ottomans. Despite its significant historical contributions, Egypt has never regained the dominance it once held and remains a developing nation today. The God who said He would do this to mighty Egypt, and went ahead to do it as we can clearly see today, is a God worthy of all honour.

Fulfillment: Approximately 34 years after Ezekiel’s prophecy, Egypt’s decline began and has continued for thousands of years, fulfilling the prophecy precisely.

5. The Prophecy of Cyrus

Prophecy:
Cyrus the Great was prophesied by name over 150 years before his birth, indicating that he would play a pivotal role in allowing the Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple after the first scattering of Israel. At the time of the prophecy, Israel was not scattered, and there was no one called Cyrus, king of Persia. But the prophecy said Israel would scatter, be registered, and be helped to return to Jerusalem by a yet to be born king whose name would be Cyrus.

Key Scripture:
Isaiah 45:1-3- "Thus says the Lord to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held... I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places."

This prophecy, delivered by Isaiah around 700 B.C., declared the birth and rise of Cyrus, who would conquer Babylon and issue a decree allowing the Jews to return to their homeland in 538 B.C. This was a remarkable demonstration of God’s sovereignty, as He called Cyrus "His anointed" despite that Cyrus was not yet born, and after he was born, he knew no God called Yahweh. This prophecy not only foretold Cyrus's name but also outlined the specific actions he would take. Is God not worthy of all reverence?

Fulfillment: The prophecy was fulfilled approximately 150 years after it was declared, showcasing God’s ability to declare the future accurately and sovereignly guide historical events.

Conclusion:

God’s Sovereignty Over Nations is indisputable.

The detailed fulfillment of these prophecies shows that God not only created the world but also controls the course of history. The destruction of Assyria and Babylon, the regathering of Israel, the humbling of Egypt, and the rise of Cyrus all point to the sovereignty of the God of the Bible. His Word stands true, and His prophecies have come to pass exactly as spoken. The history of these nations serves as a testament to God's unwavering authority over the fate of all nations.

As I round up this piece, let's look at one other prophecy about Israel.

Amos 9:15 (NIV):

"And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God."

Context:

God said He will plant them. We all know that this prophesy has been fulfilled since 1948 when God raised the signal to the Nations, and the United Nations unknowingly fulfilled the mind of God. Now, God said once He has planted them, they can never again be uprooted from their base.

Do think Iran, Russia, Hezbollah or any nation of the world can uproot Israel contrary to God's intentions? Do you think that the God that destroyed Assyria and Babylon, and humbled Egypt according to His declaration would not be able to uphold His Word about Israel today? Is there any other god out there that has demonstrated control or sovereignty over the Nations as the Yahweh Almighty? All these 4 points from the book of Amos 9, are fulfilling before our eyes in our own day:

1. Restoration of David's fallen tent (v. 11)
2. Reconstruction of ruins (v. 11)
3. Planting in their own land (v. 15)
4. Never being uprooted again (v15)

Israel is currently fighting wars on 7 fronts, why do you think they cannot be defeated? Israel is a strong Nation, not because America supports Israel but because, God, the Creator of the universe is watching over His Word upon the nation to bring it to pass. Men must therefore fear and tremble before the God of Israel. He is the Sovereign over all of creation.

I know you are used to the Ekpa and Kanu style of using SM to brainwash you but this warrior had an old school approach that involved a hands-on-approach : fight the Zionists out of their land.
That's not what we're discussing please.

What's the oppression you're talking about? Oppression of the same people who always shout "Death to Israel!" Oppression of the same people who have it in their constitution to keep fighting until Israel is wiped off the face of the earth? Please tell me who is oppressing who? It's oppression because Israel resisted their terror. Isn't it?

The man had no time countering IDF propaganda when he was out there shooting and blowing up IDF goons
That's according to you. Or were you actually with him to know the?

And why should Sinwar care about Mossad propaganda ?

Why counter them?

The man spent 22ys in an Israeli prison and was known as a very disciplined and focused individual so much so that Shinnbet and Mossad attempted to block his release.
If if he didn't care, what about his organizations? Since he never debunked the claim, any argument to the contrary is an assumption.
Foreign AffairsRe: Iran Reacts To Killing Of Yahya Sinwar By IDF, Labels Him Model For Youths by GothamCities: 7:08pm On Oct 19, 2024
GBTYO:
And what I am getting at is that his death did not occur due to some Mossad wizardry in tracking down their targets.
But I'm not discussing this. We don't expect them to be omniscient.

Sinwar was out there every other day engaging the IDF goons.
He should have been the one to say this by himself while he was still alive.

The Israelis did not phantom this and thought he was holed up in one of the extensive tunnels.
We don't expect them to know everything.

The IDF even issued what is now apparently a pure lie that Sinwar was holed up in a tunnel with all the hostages surrounding him with the entire place rigged with explosives - a typical scene you will get from a Jewish Hollywood movie depicting the bad guy as a raving lunatic ready to blow shit up. But this was never the case with Sinwar. He was out there killing IDF and blowing up their tanks . This is not something you get with your typical leader. Ekpa for example is indulging in all the seven deadly sins in the comfort and safety of Finland and his fat wife's ass while directing idiots to kill their fellow kinsmen for not obeying his sit at home order from Finland.
Yes, you're right about Elkpa but you're wrong by saying IDF lied. If they hadi lied, Sinwar would have debunked the lies when they were told. Even you yourself never faulted the claim until his was seen to have died in war. It could be that the only day he decided to come out of his hole was the day he became unfortunate. That's my point

What I related to you here was what the Washington Journal carried as their exclusive headline yesterday and it was based on the official IDF narration of how they mistakenly stumbled upon and took out Sinwar without even knowing it was him.
You're not getting my point.

My point is that the IDF have seen that he hides after trying to trail him for months. That doesn't mean he hides all the time. That's not possible. He'll be coming out occasionally to fight, but this time around , the time he chose was a bad time.
Foreign AffairsRe: Iran Reacts To Killing Of Yahya Sinwar By IDF, Labels Him Model For Youths by GothamCities: 6:18pm On Oct 19, 2024
GBTYO:
Idiot , this is urban warfare at its most extreme.

Sinwar and his men took cover in an already dilapidated building after being spotted by IDF goons.
From there a fire fight ensued and the Israelis attempted to storm the building with ground troops but we're repelled by Sinwar and his men. This is the official IDF narrative of the encounter. The IDF ground commander then ordered the building to be shelled by Tanks. Sinwar barely survived the barrage but three of his men died from it. It's at this point the IDF dispatched a drone to assess the damage and there we got that iconic stare down from Sinwar huddled on a chair, barely alive, with a missing arm and covered in dust.

The Israelis will later shell the building again for extra measure and that's how Sinwar was taken out.

The IDF could not identify it was him until they moved into the building and removed the traditional Palestinian head scarf he had on.

Now do you think the IDF will shell the building if they knew it was Sinwar ? The answer is a simple no as they would do all they can to have him captured to boost Satanyahu's dead popularity and that of the IDF's moral levels.
I know you would retort to insults, it's your way. Where are the videos? I didn't ask you for explanations about what happened in one day. Sinwar was supposed to be at the forefront everyday, wasn't he? When the IDF made the claim concerning him, why didn't he deny and debunk the claims if indeed they were lies told against him?

Spewing incoherent trash .

Sinwar was actively leading the battle against IDF in Gaza and not holed up Una bunker as earlier stated by Mossad.

Now that it was clear that he was actively engaging the Sodomite terrorists , Mossad now says they intercepted him trying to flee from Gaza .


If the IDF knew they had Sinwar cornered , they won't have shelled the building but do all they can to have him captured alive.
Leading battle from inside the base of a building? IDF showed us videos of him surrounded by hostages as he was running through a tunnel. Can you show us videos of Sinwar leading the battle from the Frontlines?
Foreign AffairsRe: Iran Reacts To Killing Of Yahya Sinwar By IDF, Labels Him Model For Youths by GothamCities: 5:13pm On Oct 19, 2024
GBTYO:
It's been said by even the IDF that took him out that they came under attack by four Palestinian militants.

Mossad did not have a clue and the IDF did not even know it was him or else they won't have shelled the building but would have stormed it to capture him alive.

Use brain.
So, how does this counter the fact? They thought he was somewhere else he used to be, but the day of judgement made him loose guard.

Story.

This is the latest Mossad attempt in trying to undo their gaffe of releasing the video of Sinwar which has shown the world he was a defiant warrior .

Mossad is now trying to halt Sinwar being a martyr by claiming he was fleeing .

Bullshit.

This comes against all the rubbish said by Mossad that Sinwar was hiding in a tunnel surrounded by the hostages and with hundreds of explosives rigged to blow of the IDF stormed his location.

Contrary to this narrative , Sinwar was not holed up in a tunnel but was actively leading attacks on IDF positions in Gaza.

This is bad ass shit because this is the first time the equivalent of a world leader is actually fighting in battle and the Jews hate this as it only fuels Sinwar to martyrdom and warrior status.
Would he be with hostages and Hunan shield 24/7? The enemy that wanted to annihilate him quietly watched and waited for his most vulnerable moment. You should understand that. There was a video that showed him moving in a tunnel with at least 20 hostages around him. This is not a matter of "they said". It was proven.

if extend you want to extend your WiFi coverage over a distance of 5km from a Starlink internet connection, you would need to consider advanced networking solutions. One effective method is to use a wireless point-to-point (PtP) system, which involves setting up directional antennas that focus the WiFi signal from one point to another. another might be using a series of switch and outdoor Ap radio,it would require energy sources and long distance cabling for the second option, configurations also can be a nightmare

I have watched many YouTube videos and made diverse consultations but I am yet to see anyone providing any applicable solution to this need.

Please I'm pleading with Experts in the house to kindly provide applicable advice on what equipment I might need to buy to achieve this task. The site is in a remote area and I need Internet coverage over the entire farm. I already have a Starlink router and Dish installed. I just need to extend the coverage over my entire farmland.

I'll appreciate any advice regarding the equipment that I might need to buy.

Thank you in advance.
