Ikomi, what is so hard about the question that you cant just answer in simple language? Do we have to suffer this revulsive musical chairs you folks play with issues when it comes to Israel?

Where were the threads on the evil that others were doing just recently? Where were you whinning about China, Russia, Pakistan and other killing machines gunning down innocents in their attempt to root out terrorists in their midst? Doesnt it expose your complete and utter hypocrisy that while you're whining about a war that lasted a mere 2 weeks and that ended over 5 months ago . . . China gets to mow down Uighur muslims and everyone including you is silent?

davidylan:
China did the same, Russia does the same, USA does the same (infact in both Iraq and Afghanistan), Pakistan is doing the same, Hezbollah recently held Lebanon hostage . . . where are your cries?

Tudór:
Cool. If you doubt the soviet invasion of berlin and the subsequent destruction, then go search for the pictures and compare them with kuwait, iraq, france and poland.

BTW what do you define as destruction?

davidylan:
China crushed the Uighur uprising recently. Russia sent in troops to quell a terrorist uprising in Chechnya. Georgia paid dearly for daring to take back a territory Russia annexed from them.
Allied forces carpet bombed and almost completely destroyed Germany during WWII EVEN THOUGH neither the US nor UK were invaded by Germany.
Japan dared attack Pearl Harbour and suffered two atomic bombs.

Are you holding Israel to the same standards with which you hold the above nations?

davidylan:
what is all this? I asked a very simple question. What is all the ridiculous dancing around the issue?

davidylan:
Would you hold Israel to EXACTLY the same standards that you hold England, the US, Pakistan, China and russia?

davidylan:
did you answer the question? why are you moral equivalence police avoiding facts?

If Israel did 1/100th of what the russians did to chechnya what would you do?

davidylan:
another ridiculous troll. If Israel flattened Gaza or Lebanon the EXACT SAME WAY the allies flattened Germany or Nagasaki . . . what would you self-righteous moral police do?

Tudór:
Sometimes i wonder how people think.
Did the Nazi's invade britain?
They only bombarded through the air and what percentage of londons infrastructure was destroyed?. How you can compare that with ground invasion involving troops, tanks, artillery in addition to air support by the russians beats the hell outta me.

Tudór:
What are you talking about?
When the soviet forces where bombarding berlin so bad that hitler had to to commit suicide because the russians were just across the street. Stalin told his generals that by may 1 a soviet flag should be hanging over the reichstag.Berlin was virtually destroyed, get your facts straight.

davidylan:
did you answer either of the two questions i posed to you earlier? I repeat - why? How much food did the allies allow to go into Nazi Germany before they destroyed it? When did it become imperative that the enemy must allow food to go in to feed those who are desperate to destroy them?

why didnt Egypt allow food too?

Negro_Ntns:
I know the response is rushed and kind of jumbled together. I will clarify any point if you want.

RichyBlacK:
Why is the Incas coming up here? They were across the Atlantic in present-day Central/South America. The Greeks and Mongols were in Eurasia.

Negro_Ntns:
Oh, I didn't mean to raise anxiety that high and please forgive my approach. But yes, I will get to the point.

We cannot separate the history of Sudan from Egypt. Infact, Sudan was Egypt. Their division into individual and separate sovereignties is fewer in years than the age of their civilization together. I don't know if I should work it backward or work it forward. . .but in any event if you are lost to the point I am making please demand my clarification.

Far back when Egypt reigned as a superpower there was only one adversary that stood in their way and that was the Ottoman Empire. Trading routes were between Africans and the Asians. . .no one paid Europe any mind because they were still in dark ages. Thank God to the influence of Egypt from their South and Ottoman from their East, they would not have evolved to what they are today. How did that transformation come about? In many successive steps.

Sometimes the waning power of one Empire leads to an increase in the rising power of another Empire elsewhere. The Pharaohs were of Nubian origin and stock. This is undisputable. The Pharaohs had two capitals - Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. Upper Egypt was geographically located in the Kushite territory along the Nile and that region is today in Sudan. Lower Egypt was geographically located further away from the interior and in the direction of Europe and is where today is the territory of Cairo and Alexandria. For strategic reasons, old empires never locate state capitals on the edge of their dominion. . .they were always locked inland for maximum shield against surprises. The Upper Egypt capital was the spiritual capital and the Lower Egypt was a trade/caravan route between Maghrib (Today Morrocco) and Syria and Persia (Today Iran). Upper Egypt is where the Kings and their Priests hold court and Lower Egypt is where the Ministers are stationed for diplomatic missions. Trade junctions were very essential to the commerce of an Empire and many towns and mega cities today grew out of such ancient caravan/trade junctions.

Egypt reigned over Palestine and into Assyria. There was nothing called Saudi Arabia then. Clashes between Egypt and Ottoman resulted in territorial losses. The Egyptians (Nubians - negroes like you and me) were the ones that enslaved the Jews. You have to wonder, if there were Jews in Europe and other lands and these other places were civilized, why did they not wage war against the Nubians to free the Jews? It's because there were only two civilizations competing over the region now called Middle East and neither one particularly cared for Jew and so Jew was the race that no one wanted to be or associate with back then. Kinda like the black race today. . .

Well, Ottoman Empire broke up into sub Empires and so did the Nubian Empire (Egypt). Out of these multiple break ups is where Persian Empire came from. . . the Roman Empire grew. In fact before Roman the Greeks existed and were adversary to the Persian Empire.

So what happened to Upper Egypt? With the growth and expansion of Roman Empire then you have sub Empires such as Britain, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal. The Nubians were the gate keepers of Lower Egypt up bordering Meditarenean Sea. When their Empire collapsed they retreated inland, down to Upper Egypt. What they had left further splintered into Kushite and Axumite Empires (Abyssinia). Haile Selassie was the last Emperor of that dynasty. Now, it was easy for Arabs to penetrate into Africa and enslave our people because the guardians of the outpost had all perished or abandoned station.

It was relatively easy for the Romans to penetrate as well and take over Lower Ehypt and establish their reign in the region. In addition with colonial rules. . . in their greed for total control of Lower Egypt and in an aim to re-write history. . . Britain was against Egypt and Sudan remaining one nation and so it worked covertly and succeeded in severing their ties and giving them individual sovereignties. Now, over the years and with castigation of black people as backward and abominable. . . just as the jews were treated in ancient times. . . the inhabitants of Lower Egypt began to separate from their black roots and associated with Arabs or Europeans.

Almost all the statutes. . . the Kings and Priests statutes that had Nubian features (Negroid) have been modified and given new appearances to match a rewrite of history claiming Egypt as land of Arabs or Europeans.

I know the response is rushed and kind of jumbled together. I will clarify any point if you want.

Everything is the west!
Is it the west that's breaking pipelines and bunkering oil? Are they the peeps importing old computers and electronic waste?
The truth is that nigerians go to these people and ask for this waste in order to make a quick buck, they bunker oil and invite the foreigners to party.
If no nigerian decides to purchase the waste would it end up here in the first place?

RichyBlacK:
The West has some blame.

The divide and rule strategy was used throughout the colonial period (80 years for Nigeria) to entrench division. This division is at the bane of Nigeria's problems.

ElRazur:


At what stage do we move on and start to actually look at ourselves? I have heard that excuse for like years now. . . Do you not think it is becoming a broken record?

The United Nations says organised crime is "plundering" West Africa, as illicit goods flood through the region.

A report by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime says the smuggling of oil, arms, toxic waste, diamonds and cigarettes continues to flourish in West Africa.

Corruption is also rife among senior officials, undermining democracy and economic development, the UN says.

But the report did notice one positive trend: a reduction in the flow of cocaine through West Africa to Europe.

In recent years West African countries have been used as a transit point by Colombian drug lords. But increased international attention has smothered some trafficking activity in the past year.

Development in danger

The report identified oil theft and smuggling as the greatest threat to West Africa, as it is directly linked to insurgency and violence in the region.

In Nigeria, some 55 million barrels of oil - nearly one-tenth of the country's annual production - are lost every year through theft and smuggling. The illicit trade often leads to pollution.

West Africa has also become a major destination for electronic waste from Europe, such as old phones, computers and batteries, which is another threat to the environment.

"Organised crime is plundering West Africa, destroying governments, the environment, human rights and health," said UNODC head Antonio Maria Costa.

The agency warned that democracy and development would continue to falter in West Africa while crime and corruption flourish.

[i]On a serious note. What are NK's ally doing about this? Surely china can afford to send some money to them. What about Russia? Whatever the case, innocent people are suffering and Kim is there living life to the max. Sucks.

North Korean food need 'critical'   
North Korea is facing a "critical" food shortage, especially for children, the UN's food agency has said.

The World Food Programme's director for North Korea said the agency was unable to reach millions of North Koreans due to a shortfall in funding.

The director, Torben Due, said the WFP had received no new donations for North Korea since Pyongyang conducted a nuclear test in May.

He also said Pyongyang had barred the WFP from using Korean-speaking staff.

North Korea had given no reason for that decision, he added.

Mr Due told reporters in Beijing that the WFP had received only 15% of an international appeal for $504m (£306m) and had to cut back plans to provide food aid to 6.2 million North Koreans to 2.27 million.

Vicious circle

North Korea has relied on food aid from China, South Korea and aid agencies to feed millions of its people since a famine in the 1990s resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands.

Recent flooding and the suspension of South Korean fertiliser aid shipments have hindered food production.

  "We are now in the middle of the lean season in North Korea, where food supplies are low and it's a very difficult situation for many people in the country," Mr Due said.

Children were particularly at risk, he said.

"For children it is critical, and it means they do not have the nutrition required for growth," Mr Due said.

"We see an increase in the number of children being admitted to hospitals with severe malnutrition," he said.

He described a vicious circle in which malnourished children were growing up stunted with weakened immune systems and then giving birth to children with poor health.

The WFP's North Korea appeal had received no contributions since Pyongyang conducted a nuclear test on 25 May, he said.

"I understand to a certain extent why donors are questioning," he said.

"But my angle is as a humanitarian. Being a humanitarian organisation you should look at the needs of the people."

Mr Due said the WFP was now only allowed to operate in 57 counties within North Korea, instead of the previous 131.

ElRazur:
Ikomi,

With all due respect, I think you and I are speaking diffferent language and discussing different things. The point I am making is this - If the view presented in the original post by afam claims to be facts, yet these so called facts won't even face up to scrutiny when taken apart. I have raised many observational questions and direct question at Afam, all which he evaded and having no clue about.

Facts are something one cant argue. For example saying Obama is the president of USA is a fact. No one can argue that. Period. The basis of what forms part of the article posted by Afam are not facts. These I pointed at zillion times. That is my point.


As for you saying claiming persian version of website launched, I think you will find that a few major sites already have a Persian version running and as such, it have nothing to do with wanting to destabilize iran like you are suggesting.

davidylan:
I didnt need to read the story, neither you nor afam where making any comments remotely related to the story. Just cooking up conspiracy theories just like the author of the opinion piece falsely presented as "facts".

davidylan:
you cant help but shake your head at these dumb dudes . . . twitter and bbc must be a western conspiracy to destroy the arabs.
