I can tell you that the Arabs are being brainwashed by the Western power till this day. The Western powers are only after their oil and nothing more.


Why should American pump billions into an Afghanistan that has no Oil and allowed Somalia to deteoriate.
Uncle Sam and there different magic, the more you look the less you see. Afghanistan don't have oil but the need to control the opium market so big in that country is one of uncle Sam goals and strategic control of the middle east region. Sorry mate Somalia ain't gat any resources of intrest to big brother.

The strongest contender from the dems Hillary got many convincing to do with her role in the murder of America ambassador to Libya. On how she failed to yield to vital warnings even with Intels at her disposal on the exploit of the ragheads.

I think it's a case of "for want of a better head". Americans are still sexist (they'd deny it vehemently) which further slims her chances.

American Presidents have always had pre-election controversies anyway. That Bush Jnr got re-elected attests to that.♦

Which Intl news media do you belive their news. Aljazeera, BBC, CNN, FOX, Presstv or CNBC
International news media is bullshiit, opinions are modelled according to the news agency 'virusing' you. I switch all of them anyways but I feel all of them get specfic intrest to protect. So no need taking in their toxics.

Terrorism is financed by the Opium sales but I think that US wants to establish a base in Afghanistan to be more closer to Russia its perennial enemy.


What fuels terrorism in the Arab world?

But the chances of the dems in the coming election is so slim, I don't see any outstanding contender on both side of the divide. But at last the world can't manage another cretin like bush jnr as the potus.

BBC tries to broadcast its news to tailor with Her Majesty Government foreign policies. If you keep listening to BBC you will be the first person to shoot Robert Mugabe if the oppourtunity comes your way.

I think Jeb bush will be the next president because Clinton has a lot of baggages and seems elitist and Americans are tired of Dems

America already have lot of bases on the balkans so they might want to consolidate with an outreach in Afghanistan but they wanna real get into the opium trade too.

Terrorism is fueled by multiple factors from religion extremism to western nations covert operations e.g Isis and many other factors like the peeps seeking revenge on the ordeals of the Palestinian.

BBC is the worst. Trust me. When you read BBC features and their stories about Africa you will see that they still see Africa as a barren land whose people are still celebrating the sight of a four wheeled vehicle.


When they want to talk about Africa and manufacturing, they tell you about Africans still manufacturing Clay pots.

BBC attacks even British organizations.

You remember the phone hacking scandal of 2010 which implicated Guardian newspaper? It implicated BBC employees too. BBC was the first to report it and they followed it to the end. ♦

Is poverty the real cause or Affluence. Will terrorism end in the middle east if a Palestinian state is declared.

They were pissed because they felt the Americans were behind it. They needed to whittle down an American competitor in Newsworld.

Americans are tired of Democrats? The Republicans made America fight needless wars.

I'm using this medium to plead with the Mods lalasticlala maclantunji Afam4eva Obinoscopy and Seun to please allow for foreign stories to grace FP. We need to also debate on what's going on outside the shores of our countries and do a comparative analysis with ours.


I will call on lovers of International news to post their news here let's see the ones that will grace FP.


We need to talk about the Middle East crises and the rise of ISIS and how countries are fuelling it with their actions and inactions.


The crises in CAR with it being on the verge of turning into another Somalia.


Greece financial Crises and how it should be mitigated


The tension brewing in China with the Tainjin explosion.


The US presidential Election vis-a-vis Donald Trump emergence as a strong contender


Let's go International.

The injustice in Palestine is one of the factors fueling international terrorism that's a fact. But since uncle Sam and UN decide to turn a blind eye then this will continue till the end of time, I don't see a solution in the nearest future.

The Palestinian issue is greater than Israel and US at this point. Some Arab states do not want an independent Palestine as well.

God bless you PROVACATEUR. I'm taken by this thread

I, for example, have been trying to lay a handle on the Greece crisis et all, vis-a-vis the current situation of illegal immigrants still trouping there despite the crisis. One or twice, I've visited the foreign news section to find help, and there was really not much going on there.
Perhaps, lovers of foreign news should be indulged a bit by pushing such topics to the front page, where they'll receive more attention.

I second PROVACATEUR's motion.

The influx of asylum seekers into Greece are majorly Syrians and other middle eastern guys fleeing wars in there country. They are only using the country as a transit point because of its proximity to other European nations.

Palestine was under Jordanian control for a while (west bank) but they did not declare a Palestinian state because it fears that another democratic state in the region will be dangerous from the Hashemite monarchy who had already lost out in Iraq. They had to fight the PLO and drove them out to Lebanon (Black September).Most Arab monarchies are not interested in Palestine especially during the cold war and are indifferent to the Palestinian issue today.

The reason is because must royal houses are minority tribes installed by the western powers after the ottoman empire was carved up in the Sykes–Picot deal between the European powers after the first world war. They fear that the more democratic the middle east gets, Their dynasties will be toppled. When Nasser was the leader of Egypt, That was his main goal (Arab revolution). Most of them see Israel as their de facto protector but on the other hand cant support Israel openly and will always sit on the fence.

US itself does not want a democratic middle east since it is bad for business. Israel is only leveraging on all these complexities to grab more land.
