bigpicture001:Still typing more BS. I see and I know how the media works in the west. I know how African is portrayed, I know how India is portrayed, I know how China is portrayed. They have templates of how they want their citizens to see these places. If I haven't lived or visited these places, I won’t believe real people can live there. Who destabilized all the Middle East, Egypt and Libya in the first place? I’m sure, it’s not China or Russia. The US is spending a lot of money on making weapons and selling them, they will have to use them somewhere at least. Please tell which country has started more wars than the US. And on the black Americans, you called them entitled and lazy? Your ignorance is on another level. Why do you think, as a group, the AA and aboriginals both in North American and in Austrialia behave the way they do? You think they are lazy and entitled? Do you also think it is a coincidence? Many African immigrants in the US are cowards and don’t deserve any respect. Every thing the black people enjoy today in America, including being partly recognized as a human being, were fought for by the AA ( in most cases with their lives). On the other hand, African immigrant are too cowardly to stay back in the own country to even fight their fellow men for the basic rights of themselves and their children. They would rather run to another place where they and their children will perpetually remain in the lowest rung of the ladder in the society, kiss ass and smile even when racially abused. If you are not brave enough to stay back in your country to fight for it betterment for your generation, you should at least respect those that fought to create the opportunities you now enjoy. 2 Likes 1 Share |

bigpicture001:BS. What are they trying to thwart? The US has started more wars, killed more people, destabilized more countries and destroyed people’s lives than any country in the last 50 years. Just look around the world, which country goes to other counties to kill their people for nothing. Even in America, the US has more of it citizens in prison (mostly blacks) than any other country in the world. Just imagine, the US (with population ~350million) has more people in prison than China and India combined (~3billions). Crazy. The US may do some good things but they do a lot of bad shi.t. Stop listening to all this propaganda. 3 Likes 1 Share |

| Foreign Affairs › COVID-19: Hong Kong To Suspend All Schools Due To Spike In Coronavirus Cases by ponziponzi(op): 2:20am On Jul 11, 2020*. Modified: 3:22am On Jul 11, 2020 |
HONG KONG — Hong Kong’s Education Bureau on Friday announced the suspension of all schools from Monday after a sharp rise in locally transmitted coronavirus cases fueled fears of renewed community spread. Schools in the Asian financial hub have been mostly shut since January, with many having switched to online learning and lessons by conference call. Many international schools are already on summer break. Hong Kong reported 38 new coronavirus cases on Friday, edging down from Thursday’s 42 but broadly in line with a sharp increase that the city registered over the past three days. Authorities said 32 of the new cases were locally transmitted after the city reported mostly imported cases for months. The total number of cases since late January now stands at 1,404. Seven people have died. Some of the recent cases involved students and parents, said Education Secretary Kevin Yeung. “Many parents are worried about the sudden growth of local transmission cases in the past few days,” said Mimi Tsang, mother of 12-year-old student Melony. However the early suspension comes as the switch to online learning at home has frustrated teachers, parents and students and exacerbated the learning gap between the haves and havenots. More than two thirds of parents, regardless of income, believe their children have difficulty learning at home, according to a February survey by the Education University of Hong Kong. A survey by The Society for Community Organisation (SoCO) of nearly 600 low-income students shows more than 70% don’t have computers and 28% have no broadband. The early closure of schools would this time not have much impact on teaching, students and parents said, as it comes just ahead of the summer holidays. “We just had one more week of classes to go, so I don’t think there is too much difference,” said 14-year-old student Ryan Chan.

Ivory Coast's Prime Minister Amadou Gon Coulibaly has died, the country's President announced. In a statement, President Alassane Ouattara said the nation was in mourning over Coulibaly's death on Wednesday afternoon, which occurred shortly after he attended a cabinet meeting in the Presidential Palace. He described the prime minister as his closest collaborator over a 30-year period. Coulibaly, 61, had been chosen to run as the ruling party's candidate in this year's October presidential election. He had only recently returned from a two-month stay in France where he had been undergoing health check-ups. At the time, the government said that "after examinations on Monday 4 May at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, he will take a few weeks rest, as prescribed by his doctor." Coulibaly arrived back in the Ivory Coast on Thursday On Twitter, President Ouattara said, "I salute the memory of a statesman, of great loyalty, devotion and love for the homeland. He embodied this young generation of Ivorian leaders of great skill and extreme loyalty to the Nation." According to his official biography, Coulibaly leaves behind a wife and five children.

In fact, the daily new cases recorded today is by far the highest that has ever been recorded since the start of this pandemic. You don't seem to hear it because it has shifted from the western countries to developing/underdeveloped countries. Brazil, India, Chile, Mexico and Pakistan are the new epicentre of this disease and nobody really cares about these people.

| Foreign Affairs › Burundi President Dies Of Illness Suspected To Be Coronavirus by ponziponzi(op): 11:13pm On Jun 09, 2020 |
The outgoing president of Burundi has died of a sudden illness, suspected by many to be Covid-19. The cause of Pierre Nkurunziza’s death was described as a heart attack in a government statement. The 55-year-old was due to stand down in August following elections last month. It was unclear exactly when he died. A government statement said the president, a keen sports enthusiast, had attended a game of volleyball on Saturday but fell ill that night and was taken to hospital. The former footballer’s health improved on Sunday but “surprisingly, on morning of Monday June 8, 2020, his health suddenly deteriorated and he had a heart attack”. The statement described Nkurunziza’s death as “unexpected” and asked people to remain calm. Seven days of mourning have been announced. Nkurunziza had refused to impose restrictions in the small and poor African country, allowing sporting events and mass political rallies to go ahead. Speculation about the cause of his death has been fuelled by unconfirmed reports that his wife was flown to Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, 10 days ago after contracting Covid-19. Authorities in Burundi have been accused of deliberately playing down the threat posed by the coronavirus pandemic, which has infected 197,000 people on the African continent and killed more than 5,000. The nation of 11 million people has reported 83 cases of Covid-19 and officials have cited divine protection for Burundi’s ostensibly low infection rate and urged citizens to go about their daily lives without fear. Nkurunziza’s spokesperson said that although the country may be hit by the pandemic, “Burundi … has signed a special covenant with God, whether you believe it or not”. Burundi refused to follow most other African nations in imposing a lockdown and expelled the World Health Organization’s expert team working on coronavirus. Nkurunziza was forced to step aside after 15 years in power by opponents within the country’s ruling CNDD-FDD party, but was to become “supreme guide” with wide if ill-defined power. As former leader he would have received a $500,000 (£410,000) gift from the nation along with a luxury villa. The elections were won by Gen Évariste Ndayishimiye, who analysts say was selected because he was acceptable to a powerful clique of senior military officers. The opposition claimed the poll had been rigged. Rights groups accused the ruling party and its youth wing of systematically crushing dissent. Between January and March, Ligue Iteka, an exiled Burundian human rights organisation, documented 67 killings, including 14 extrajudicial executions, six disappearances, 15 cases of gender-based violence, 23 cases of torture, and 204 arbitrary arrests. There was also some violence directed against ruling party members and youths – including killings – but at much lower levels. Burundi became diplomatically isolated after 2015, when Nkurunziza’s decision to run for a third term – a move his opponents said violated the peace deal that ended the civil war – sparked protests met with extreme violence by the youth wing of the ruling party, known as the Imbonerakure, and the security forces. Hundreds of thousands of Burundians fled into exile. Burundi withdrew from the international criminal court in 2017 and shut down the United Nations office on human rights last year. “As I learn of the passing of Pierre Nkurunziza, I think of the thousands of lives that his regime cut short. The families that won’t see justice,” tweeted Thierry Uwamahoro, a democracy activist and prominent government critic who lives in exile. Journalists and human rights workers in Burundi are routinely targeted. Last week, four journalists from the domestic news website Iwacu were sentenced to two and a half years in prison after they travelled to investigate reports of unrest in the north-west of the country. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/09/burundi-president-dies-illness-suspected-coronavirus-pierre-nkurunziz |
| Foreign Affairs › Re: History And Impact Of Black Protests In America by ponziponzi(op): 1:17am On Jun 09, 2020*. Modified: 1:46am On Jun 09, 2020 |
Black Americans have come a long way in the fight for equality and justice. Most of what black people, including African immigrants, enjoy today in the western world, primarily in American, is as a direct result of these sacrifices. That why it bothers me when Africans, especially Nigerians, come here and insult or refer to the black Americans as lazy. Sometimes, I see this as an act of cowardice. You left your country where you have a rich history of your past but unable to fight for the betterment of it. You cannot fight for constant electricity, good schools, eliminate poverty and corrupt leaders. Still, you come to a place where other people have struggled to build with pain, and some others have fought for you to be seen as a human being, at least you owe them some respect. |

Protest against segregation in the Buses Approximately 40,000 Black bus riders boycotted the Montgomery, Alabama, bus system in December 1955, a few days after Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white rider. The boycott lasted 382 days and ended when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that segregation on public buses was unconstitutional. Protest against segregation in school cafeterias Hundreds of students sat at the Woolworth’s lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, every day for 6 months after four Black students were refused service on February 1, 1960. The Greensboro sit-ins triggered other sit-ins in cities throughout the South, with more than 50,000 students joining in by April 1960. The Greensboro sit-ins ended when the local Woolworth’s lunch counter was desegregated on July 25, 1960. Protest against segregated bus terminals In 1961, Freedom Riders headed south from Washington, D.C., on buses, making stops along the way to protest segregated bus terminals. The riders were ultimately met with violence and arson, which drew national attention from the Kennedy administration. The Freedom Rides came to an end after 7 months, with the Interstate Commerce Commission outlawing segregation on interstate buses. ‘Whites only’ signs were taken down in more than 300 Southern stations. Protest against segregated in public establishments Martin Luther King Jr. joined peaceful demonstrators in Birmingham, Alabama, to protest its Supreme Court-defying segregation. Police met the demonstrators with dogs, billy clubs, and fire hoses, as Birmingham jails were overflowing with arrests. After 37 days, Birmingham officials agreed to desegregate public establishments, hire Black workers, and release jailed protesters. Source: NowThis https://www.instagram.com/nowthisnews/
