British Cargo Vessel Attacked In Red Sea by MediaTalkAfrica(op): 12:03pm On Feb 06, 2024
A British cargo vessel fell victim to an attack in the Red Sea, as confirmed by the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO). The incident occurred west of Hodeida in Yemen during the early hours of Tuesday. Although no group has claimed responsibility, there are suspicions pointing to Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, according to reports from the Associated Press.

The UKMTO reported that the ship’s master noticed a small craft on the port side before a projectile was launched at the vessel. Fortunately, none of the crew members sustained injuries in the altercation.

The ship did suffer minor damages to its bridge windows, yet it was deemed safe to proceed with its journey. Addressing the recent events, Defence Secretary Grant Shapps assured that the UK would not hesitate to defend itself if necessary in response to Houthis in Yemen. This statement followed joint airstrikes by the UK and the U.S. against Houthi rebel sites on Saturday, which were deemed lawful and defensive, targeting three military facilities after thorough analysis.

Insecurity is all over the world.
Not only in Nigeria.
But Tinubu should do something to keep Nigeria safe.

These beasts love blood. All what they want is crises. They never think of how to better the lives of their citizens.


Hence I love Trump. He knows how to deal with them

It's a retaliatory response to the hypocritical and devilish attitude of the pathetic West.
Why wouldn't the UK's ship be attacked after creating the chaos and the lingering mess in the middle east? The US and UK went further to arm the IDF terrorist to cause perpetual havock. If you can't solve a problem don't create one.

There is a pattern of removal you can use, you can use the slow poison method, to watch the adverse effect.

The 3 candidate might have different approach to removing it in order to avoid the catastrophic effect we are witnessing.

They are enabling Genocide by supplying Weapons to Israel. People who support the killings of Children, Women and unarmed civilians have no right to tell others about Human Rights/Morals.
Re: British Cargo Vessel Attacked In Red Sea by azpekuliar: 5:47am On Feb 07, 2024
Hmm. This would have been unthinkable in medieval times as the British had the most powerful navy in the whole world which allowed them to colonize over a quarter of the world’s population and single handedly enforce the ban on international slave trade.

Does GOD bless a nation with laws in support of homosexuals?
Should Israel be treated differently from sodom and Gomorrah?
Any bias?

Will they ever be held accountable for the crimes (theft) committed in that era?

They went about forcefully stealing resources, wealth from these nations.
