Nigeria, which is the most populated state of Africa with its 132 million inhabitants, has been a victim of violent territorial destruction during the last fifty years. Massacre and violation of human rights do not arise any attention anymore, only some clamorous episodes capture the press’ interest for a moment and then they are forgotten.
The state of Nigeria is the worlds eighth biggest producer of oil supplying 2.5 million barrels per day. The Niger Delta area, rich of black gold, has (…)

1 commentMore false flag terror attacks prior to French presidential elections? Just days prior to the French presidential election which pits anti-North African Muslim conservative Nicolas Sarkozy, supported by the international neo-con clique, against a Socialist and centrist candidate, bombs have gone off in Algeria and Morocco. The attacks have been blamed on "Al Qaeda," the neo-cons’ favorite (and likely controlled) bogeyman.
Three car bomb attacks killed 33 people in Algiers. A group claiming (…) -

THE United States, heavily engaged in Afghanistan and Iraq in its global war on terror, is now fighting on a third front in Somalia (1). Washington assembled an anti-terrorist coalition in the Gulf of Aden in 2001 and it is clear from recent air raids and the deployment of US battleships that it regards the Horn of Africa as part of the theatre of operations in its battle against al-Qaida.
It is up against the Union of Islamic Courts, funded by Mogadishu traders who had had enough of (…) -
Creating New Hotbed of Anti-Americanism in Somalia
6 January 2007 par (Open-Publishing)
By Nicola Nasser
U.S. foreign policy blundering has created a new violent hotbed of anti-Americanism in the turbulent Horn of Africa by orchestrating the Ethiopian invasion of another Muslim capital of the Arab League, in a clear American message that no Arab or Muslim metropolitan has impunity unless it falls into step with the U.S. vital regional interests.
The U.S.-backed Ethiopian invasion of the Somali capital, Mogadishu, on Dec. 28 is closely interlinked in motivation, methods, (…) -

In reading the main stream American press accounts of the Congo elections in which the loser filed a challenge to the outcome, it was as if I were having a flash back to the 2000 presidential elections in the United States.
One former rebel who lost the election “filed a lawsuit Saturday claiming he was cheated of millions of votes” Does that sound familiar to anyone reading (…) -

The lesson for the GOP to take from last week’s election results in which they lost majority rule in both houses is that the American people saw through the deceit in using our military to fight an immoral war in Iraq.

And there have been other scandals, as you know, that have been more than simply naughty emails."
To call the exchange of emails between a former congressman and a minor page is not naughty but (…) -
