Presidential guard officers in Burkina Faso have seized power in a coup, with reports of more than 10 deaths amid protests in the capital, Ouagadougou. A close ally of former President Blaise Compaore has been named the country's new leader, state television reports. The US, France and African Union (AU) condemned the coup in the former French colony. Those killed were shot dead by presidential guard forces in the capital, a civil society group said. What is behind the coup? The claim by the influential Balai Citoyen group could not be independently verified. A medical source in the city's main hospital said three people had been killed. An unknown number of protesters have been detained. The coup leaders have imposed a night-time curfew across the West African state, and have ordered the closure of land and air borders, AFP news agency reports. An officer said on state television that a new government would be formed The headquarters of Mr Compaore's Congress for Democracy and Progress (CDP) party were ransacked in Ouagadougou as news of the coup spread, it adds. The AU and regional body Ecowas, the Economic Community of West African States, called for the immediate release of "hostages", referring to interim President Michel Kafando and Prime Minister Isaac Zida, who were detained at a cabinet meeting in the president palace on Wednesday. Their transitional authority was due to hand power to a new government after elections on 11 October. Seven things about Burkina Faso: It is one of the world's poorest countries - its main export is cotton A former French colony, it gained independence as Upper Volta in 1960 Capt Thomas Sankara seized power in 1983 and adopted radical left-wing policies - he is often referred to as "Africa's Che Guevara" The anti-imperialist revolutionary renamed the country Burkina Faso, which translates as "land of honest men" Mr Compaore took power in the coup that killed Mr Sankara, and ruled for 27 years, until he was ousted last year following street protests People in Burkina Faso, known as Burkinabes, love riding motor scooters It is renowned for its pan-African film festival, Fespaco, held every two years . Mr Compaore was ousted in a popular uprising, partly organised by Balai Citoyen, in 2014 after 27 years in power, and is currently in exile. He was accused of committing widespread abuses, and trying to change the constitution to extend his term in office. Some of his key allies had been barred from contesting the election. Protesters have been showing their anger against the coup leaders Those wounded in the clashes have been taken to hospital A statement issued by the coup leaders said the West African state would be led by Gen Gilbert Diendere, Mr Compaore's former chief-of-staff. In media interviews, he said he had no contact with Mr Compaore and would do everything to "avoid violence that could plunge the country into chaos". An earlier announcement on state television said wide-ranging talks would be held to form a new interim government that would organise "peaceful and inclusive elections". Transitional parliamentary speaker Cheriff Sy called for people to "immediately rise up" against the coup, and declared himself the leader of the West African state. "We are in a resistance situation against adversity," Mr Sy added. Gen Diendere says he will act to prevent chaos The US State Department said it was deeply concerned about the events unfolding in Burkina Faso. French President Francois Hollande said he strongly condemned the coup "because an electoral process was under way". However, France would not intervene militarily, he said. The US said it was deeply concerned about events in Burkina Faso, and it condemned the seizure of power through unconstitutional means. Burkina Faso is a key ally of the US and France in the campaign against militant Islamists in the region. The elite presidential guard has been trained, in part, by the US. It is the most powerful armed group in Burkina Faso and often disrupted the activities of the transitional government as it tried to cling to the privileges it enjoyed under Mr Compaore's rule. It is seen to be close to him, and is not popular on the streets. So its seizure of power could be a recipe for serious violence. The transitional government might have made two mistakes - preventing politicians loyal to Mr Compaore from running in next month's elections and allowing the Reconciliation Commission, formed to heal wounds after the end of his authoritarian rule, to release a report calling for the presidential guard to be disbanded. Some argue that a newly elected president would have had greater legitimacy to take such action. ://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-34276807 |
DictatorZAR: 14:South Africa isn't a pioneering member of BRICS. #fact. She also does not have the political muscle to get her weak ass involved in Ukraine. Give me facts or burry your sentimental dimwitted moronic asses in shame. Stupid idiotas. |
It's sometimes said that eating a lot of bananas at once could be dangerous - it has even been suggested that eating more than six in one sitting could kill you. Can this really be true? Bananas are one of the world's most popular fruits, stuffed with vitamins and minerals. On the face of it they are good for you, so why do some people think they could be fatal? One well-known figure who has spread this idea around is Karl Pilkington, the grumpy friend of comedian Ricky Gervais. "Before when you were talking about bananas... I had that fact, about if you eat more than six, it can kill you," he said in one of his conversations with Gervais and fellow comedian Stephen Merchant. "It is a fact. Potassium levels are dangerously high if you have six bananas... I saw a bowl of bananas. There's six bananas there. You know why there's only six? Seven would be dangerous." So how dangerous is potassium? Actually, it is crucial for survival and can be found "within every single cell of the body," says Catherine Collins, a dietitian at St George's Hospital in London. "We use it to help generate an electrical charge which helps the cell function properly. It helps keep your heart rate steady, it helps trigger insulin release from the pancreas to help control blood sugars, and more importantly keeps blood pressure in check." On the other hand, if the level of potassium in the body is too low or too high it can result in an irregular heartbeat, stomach pain, nausea and diarrhoea. Potassium chloride is even one of the chemicals used in lethal injections in the US, as extremely high doses can cause cardiac arrest. But for a healthy person, "it would be impossible to overdose on bananas," says Collins. "You would probably need around 400 bananas a day to build up the kind of potassium levels that would cause your heart to stop beating... Bananas are not dangerous - and in fact they are, and always have been, very good for you." Adults should consume about 3,500mg of potassium per day, according to the UK's National Health Service. The average banana, weighing 125g, contains 450mg of potassium, meaning a healthy person can consume at least seven-and-half bananas before reaching the recommended level. There are some people who should steer clear of foods that are high in potassium though, warns Collins - those with kidney disease. "These patients have a very low kidney function which can potentially see a build-up of harmful potassium levels in their blood stream because they can't get rid of the mineral when they pass urine," she says. "So in theory it is possible for someone with kidney disease to die of a high blood potassium level if they decided to consume lots of different food types rich in the mineral." She once had a patient on dialysis who had a heart attack after eating too many tomatoes - another fruit rich in potassium. His kidneys had already stopped working so he was unable to get rid of the excess. Another thing that could cause some to worry about bananas is radiation. Like many foods, bananas naturally contain some radioactive isotopes - enough for the US-based think tank, Nuclear Threat Initiative, to warn that they can trigger sensors used at US ports to detect smuggled nuclear material. A typical banana contains 0.1 microsieverts of radiation. To put that in context, a typical CT scan in a hospital exposes humans to between 10 and 15 millisieverts - about 100,000 times more. "The levels of radioactivity are negligible," says Collins. "Bananas are not as radioactive as Brazil nuts and they are safe to eat in moderation." |
NairaMinted:1) South Africa isn't a pioneering member of BRICS. India, China, Brazil and Russia are the pioneering members. China only invited South Africa for political reasons. 2) South Africa is always in the habit of punching FAR, FAR, FAR above its weight. Like the Palestinian and Ukrainian crisis, they are clearly way , way out of the league of south africa. Finally, African countries and leaders are still pupils in the art of international power play and politics. Tiny Cuba which sits so close to the US could stand in opposition for decades and still earn the respect of America. Because its leaders can read and interpret the political climate condition and act accordingly. |
dasphinx1:Cool my guy |
dasphinx1:That they make billions don't mean we shouldn't debate about them. And I'm not a fan boy, lad. I use whatever is expedient for the moment. And that include Nokia, iPhone, Sony, tecno, blackberry and Samsung. Currently, I use a tecno p5 as my call and mobile hotpot , S4 for games and a little internet and note 3 for music, heavy gaming and serious browsing expecially when I'm off working. Does this sound like a fan boy to you? Coming to your question, exynos is a cheap processor chip made by Samsung for their mobile phones and until recently it COULD NOT support 4G network. My S4 is the qualcom model. The note3 has an exynos and qualcom processor models and the exynos is often cheaper and hardly come to Europe. TIZEN unlike BADA isn't homegrown samsung OS which didn't fly. S60 by Nokia was used by Samsung before they jumped ship into android and the bada OS just didn't fly. TIZEN also is used for samsung wristwatches and cameras but it is not owned by Samsung; it is owned jointly and developed by Linux Foundation, Tizen Association, Samsung and Intel. |
ollah1:The bolded is technological sacrilege. Apple will not stoop low to use android owned by Google. Listen, I have used both and I will ask you this: Why do you think the IOS is so stable, smoother and richer than android? It is because the it is HOMEGROWN. Listen, the GSM world has begged apple to release the APK for IOS to be used all other vrand of phones but apple turned it down. When samsung S5 copied the finger print scanner of the iPhone 5s , it wasn't working well at all. It took several updates from Google before it worked. Samsung currently uses 3GB of ram and octa-core processors on some of their flagships but apple is still on 1gb of ram and dual core and they are alot faster and stable than samsung. Samsung waits for Google before taking any step software wise. So Google finish cooking the food and samsung just adds a little salt and spices to eat it. On the other hand, apple updates and develop the IOS as it's own property and waits for no one. May I remind you that before android came into being, Samsung was relying on Nokia's S60 OS to survive in the smartphone market? Seems you don't know much about what you sound so confident about. Please as we converse this very minute, Samsung still pays millions of rayalty in patents to gsm boss Nokia. They pay apple as well. The profit of samsung is 100 times bigger than samsung mobile. Because for every single android phone Samsung sell, it pays royalty to the masters.. |
MadCow1:Samsung are copy cats with no invention. They copy Nokia and when Nokia are no more they switched to iPhone. Still thinking samsung is the almighty. Check out the amount of royalties they paypay to Nokia and apple for every single unit of their phones and you will Android really made antelopes (samsung, Sony, lg, tecno & co) fly. ****modified**** oh,and I use a samsung; galaxy S4 and Note 3. The Software (OS) is owned by Google, processor chips owned by qualcom. Ecosystem owned by thousands of third party developers. Camera is shared between Sony and samsung. GSM technology and global network porting is owned by Nokia, Ericsson and Psion but over 90% is own by Nokia and Ericsson. Samsung is good business department not a splendid GSM innovator. |
DictatorZAR: I hope the Nigerian "customers" are bringing their south African wives and girlfriends to the igbo restaurant. Fortunately you hardly find nigerians in your backwater slums, they're in the high brow areas in another grand collaboration with your perennial masters, the boars, to keep you in permanent subjugation. |
DictatorZAR:.....And yet giant rats have eaten your babies whole and alive in Soweto and Khayelitsha. Nope, Zulus are at the last rung of the development ladder. |
Msauza:Zulu, don't even try to threaten me . Khayelitsha is the 2nd biggest slum in Africa and the 7th biggest slum in the world. She holds the position pre 1994 till today. That picture is as recent as this post. iidiota ![]() I dare you to post pictures of makoko and I shall prove to you khayelitsha is the most backwater slum in Africa that rats have eaten human babies alive #Reality. Let's picture-troll ![]() |
MduZA:What is this lamentation? Ok let me give you a small lecture of global socialisation: Great countries beget great mobile citizens. Africa fell under the British rule by private explorers before the British crown came, as did America. China has been able to steal US technology thanks to her citizens; South Africa fell to the Boers during the great trek by highly mobile Dutch citizens. Today Nigerians are scattered across Africa and are in virtually every sector of the economy in almost all countries of the world. How the heck do you think we managed to become the most educated people in America? How do you think a nigerian became the only blackamoor in NASA board of directors. How do you think nairaland became -so soon- Africa's biggest online meeting hub? This is the beginning of a new hegemony not just in west africa but in all of Africa. I just posted a link where mothers in South Africa were afraid to send their children to school over Nigerians threat of killing their children..... Now Zulus, lols.....You guys sit back home and drink pap and get high on drugs and think you're a hegemony? Your stupidity must be on steroids ![]() Your unemployment is record high as is your inflation rates but the only efforts you have made is just a barbaric chant of "kill the boers" and killing of white statues. Let me ask you this, if you have not been able to take the driving seat in your own home soil, if you have not been able to liberate yourself economically then how could you think of extending your tentacles across your boarders. The truth is 400 years of apartheid and 25 years of BEE has turned Zulus into Africa's most backward and immobile tribe who still put on giant pampers and need the Anglo - Dutch to wipe their asses. ![]() |

DictatorZAR:Dictatorzar,As a Zulu resident in khayelitsha, Africa's most notorious slum where toilet and living quarters have no demarcation, I'm sure you understand alot about living below the minimum standards of living.

patches689:“The situation currently in South Africa is that we have 98% of the water in the country being considered fully allocated.

Eskom first Eskom has a 99.5% assurance of receiving water, meaning the power utility gets water before any other sector of the economy. The 2030 Water Resources Group, of which the department is a member, has calculated that, by 2030, the demand for water will exceed supply by 17%. In most of South Africa’s catchments, demand is already outstripping supply, and it is only by piping water from places such as Lesoth Those are the facts,my favourite Zulu. Mozambique supplies you light and Lesotho supplies you water. those are the facts.Should I list them in a numerical order like you do? Bwhahahaha ![]() |

A third of Southafrican house hold are without electricity. Read the excerpt below and receive some sense. Your trademark lying and falsification of figures will be your only legacy. ![]() A THIRD OF SOUTH AFRICAN HOUSEHOLDS STILL HAVE NO ELECTRICITY The number of households with access to electricity grew over the course of 2013, according to the latest figures published in the Non-financial census of municipalities by Stats SA. According to the report, which looked at 278 South African municipalities, the number of homes with power increased by 2.3% from 9.7 million households in 2012 to 10 million in 2013. In total, there are around 15m households in the country. Which means almost a third are still without a regular power source from the grid. Stats SA conducts a non-financial census of local municipalities annually to measure selected aspects of service delivery of municipalities including access to water, sewerage, sanitation and electricity. Bwahahaha

FighterPilot:No they are South Africans alright. Maybe one was Mozambican........but hey, wait a minute. ...I stumble upon a very striking comment on the link you submitted: . "We South Africans, we are lazy but we are also very jealous. We don't want to do anything, but we also don't want them to do it." Rondebult is half an hour from Johannesburg's CBD. Very few women in the township went to work this week because rumour had it that "the Nigerians" were going to go to the schools in the area to kill their children. They couldn't take the chance. The CBD was quieter as a result. Fewer people travelled its pavements this week, and those who were there, were tense. This I suppose sums up the attitude and demeanour of all south Africans on this thread ![]() Curled from your own very source.http://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/joburg-gripped-by-paranoia-1.401802?ot=inmsa.ArticlePrintPageLayout.ot |

patches689:Patches, the desperate glass - heart fraud, you never stop spewing barefaced lies. The only nuclear you have are the 1970 relics built by the Israelis. And they lay desolate in the archives of apartheid which points to the era where the Boers held you down. It was a moment when south Africa was a theater of panic and mistrust. Both the oppressed and the oppressors were in a circle of frenzied state of fear and confusion. Better call the Israelis to detonate whatever is left of that metal of panicked frustration before it kills you people. |
