Regime Syrian snipers targeting pregnant women

An X-ray shows a bullet lodged in a baby's head. The image would be chilling enough without knowing the child was still in its mother's womb when it became the target of snipers hiding in the shadows in northern Syria.

The mother survived. Her baby didn't. And it's not the only one.

Volunteer doctor David Nott, a British surgeon who's worked in several Syrian hospitals with the charity Syria Relief, says snipers are playing a "targeting game," and heavily pregnant women are on the hit list.

"Most of the children removed were seven, eight, nine months gestation, which meant it was fairly obvious to anybody that these women were pregnant."

Young children are also being targeted, Nott said.

Photos provided by Syria Relief show a young girl with painted nails lying in a hospital bed with head wounds. She appears no more than five years old. Another, around the same age, lies under a green sheet with a gaping wound to her forehead.

Nott said 90% of surgeries he performed on any given day were for sniper wounds.

On some days, the wounds were suspiciously similar.

"After a while we noticed that there were certain trends going on," Nott said.

"We had some days, say, 10 or 15 gunshot wounds of which eight or nine of them were targeted in one particular area. So for example, one day, we received say 15, 16 gunshot wounds and of that eight to nine were targeted in the left groin only.

"Then the following day they were targeted in the right groin only. So it seemed to me like there was some of thing going on -- a game going on -- between the snipers."

Knott said other local doctors he worked with told him they'd heard snipers were receiving little presents (like packets of cigarettes) for people they'd shot during the day.

ZIONIST IRGUN - FIRST TERRORIST ACT of the 20th CENTURY

EARLY ZIONIST TERRORIST GANGS.

Soon after the end of World War II, there were three basic para-military Zionist organizations in Palestine, working against the Arab people, with the specific purpose of driving it out of Palestine. These were the Haganah, the Irgun Zvai Leumi and the Stern Gang.

Before the British Mandate, the Jewish settlers had formed a group of mounted armed watchmen called "Hashomar" and with the advent of the British Mandate, it became the Haganah (Defense). With a membership of 60,000 Zionist Jews, the Haganah had a field army of 16,000 trained men and a unit called the Palmach, which was a full-time force, numbering about 6000.

The Irgun Zvai Leumi included between 3000 and 5000 armed terrorists, and grew out of the Haganah and its Palmach branch in 1933. The Irgun was not ready to obey the Jewish Agency which sought to dilute the terror of the Haganah in order not to lose its respectability.

In 1939, one of Irgun's commanding officers, Abraham Stern, left the parent organization and formed the Stern Gang, numbering some 200 to 300 dangerous fanatics.


SOME EARLY EXAMPLES OF JEWISH-ZIONIST TERROR.

August 20, 1937 - June 29, 1939. During this period, the Zionists carried out a series of attacks against Arab buses, resulting in the death of 24 persons and wounding 25 others.

THE SS PATRIA.

November 25, 1940. In September, 1940, around 3,000 Jewish refugees from Vienna, Prague and Danzig were attempting to reach Palestine. In a convoy of four river steamers, they set sail down the Danube and reached the Romanian port of Tulcea where they transferred to three Greek cargo ships named Atlantic, Pacific and Milos. Conditions on board these three ships were horrendous, reminiscent of Japanese hell-ships later in the war. Eventually the ships reached Palestinian waters, but the British Colonial Office refused them permission to land. It was finally decided to deport the refugees to the island of Mauritius where a special camp was to be built. The three ships were then brought into Haifa harbour where the liner Patria was berthed. The refugees were then embarked on the Patria and as the last passengers from the Atlantic were coming on board, a tremendous explosion ripped the liner apart. The death toll amounted to 267 refugees killed. The explosion was the work of the Jewish underground army, the Haganah, who had meant only to damage the ship to prevent it sailing but had miscalculated the amount of explosives needed to disable the ship. Many say that this was no miscalculation and was deliberate murder of Jews by Jews, in an attempt to influence British immigration policy to Palestine.


A LIGHT UNTO THE NATIONS.

The first act of air piracy in the history of civil aviation was carried out by Israel, in Dec. 1954, when a civilian Syrian airliner was forced down in Tel Aviv and its passengers and crew held for days, despite international condemnation.

In 1968, Israeli commandos blew up 13 civilian airliners at Beirut airport in Lebanon.

The first deliberate shooting down a civilian airliner was carried out by Israel, when a Libyan airliner was shot down by Israeli jet fighters over Sinai, in Feb. 1973, on the direct orders of Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, killing all 107 of its passengers and the entire French crew.

Saudi-backed military coup in Egypt

Saudi-backed military coup in Egypt and support Hosni regime who responsible for various human rights abuses during its reign including murder and torture of political opponents, as Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah has describing the brutal crackdown on supporters of Morsi as the military-backed government's "legitimate right."

Before the Egyptian military coup, the Saudis had given secret assurance to Defense Minister and Chief of the Army, General Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, that the Saudis along with other conservative Gulf oil states including Kuwait and UAE would guarantee financial support should the Obama Administration cut the 1 billion annual aid to Egypts military in retaliation for ousting their man, Morsi.

On July 17, the newly-sworn-in Egyptian transitional government confirmed that it has received 6 billion in grants, loans and fuel from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Saudi Arabia approved 4 billion in aid to Egypt and the UAE has offered 2 billion in desperately needed support for the economy. The Saudi funds comprise a 1.5 billion central bank deposit, 1.5 billion in energy products, and 750 million in cash, Saudi Finance Minister Ibrahim Al-Assaf said. The UAE will make a 750 million grant to Egypt and a 1.5 billion loan in the form of an interest-free deposit with Egypt’s central bank.

Turmoil in Egypt 2013

Egypt 07/2013: Military contineuly killing Muslim Brotherhood followers even it was Ramadan month. Egypt’s new military rulers were last night accused of being behind the worst bloodshed since Hosni Mubarak was ousted in January 2011, as security forces and armed men killed scores of Muslim Brotherhood supporters.

The Muslim Brotherhood said that 66 people were killed and another 61 were “brain dead” on life support machines, after a violent repression of a protest by supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi. The health ministry put the toll from the night's violence at 72.

“They were not shooting to wound, they were shooting to kill,” said Gehad El-Haddad, Brotherhood spokesman. “The bullet wounds are in the head and chest.”

“There were snipers on the rooftops, I could hear the bullets whizzing past me,” said Ahmed el Nashar, 34, a media consultant for the Muslim Brotherhood, choking back his tears. “Man, people were just dropping.”

Mahmoud Ibrahim, a member of the brotherhood involved in the protests, said: “They kill us and then accuse of being terrorists.”

Mr Morsi was removed by the Egypt military ruler although he was Egypt’s first democratically elected president under legal system. After the Egypt military ousted Morsi on July 3, it was turn now to be deadliest outbreak of violence turmoil in Egypt.

"We urge the United Nations, the international human community ... to come down and rescue the hundreds of thousands from the massacre by the live ammunition in the hands of the criminals," senior Brotherhood leader Mohammed el-Beltagi shouted from the stage at the larger of the two Cairo sit-ins.

"We want intervention by the international organizations ... to rescue the people. We urge the Egyptian people to come to our rescue. ... The people are slaughtered like sheep",'' declared el-Beltagi, who has an arrest warrant issued against him for inciting violence.

Mohammed Badie, the Brotherhood's supreme leader, launched a stinging attack on el-Sissi over the latest violence, saying the military chief was leading a "bloody regime" and urging his followers to stand fast.

Egyptian Army Shoots At Protesters

Sky News obtains eyewitness accounts and a video of a violent clash between pro-Morsi protesters and the Egyptian military.

Competing versions of what happened when 51 people were killed close to the gates of the Republican Guard officers club in Cairo have emerged from video evidence.

There is unanimity, though, that whoever started the violence the massacre marks a bloody moment in history which will scar Egypt's future.

Sky News obtained eyewitness accounts and a video shot from an apartment overlooking the street which runs across the front of the Guard's club.

It clearly shows pre-dawn preparations by interior ministry and army soldiers for an operation to clear the street where supporters of deposed president Mohamed Morsi were encamped.

The force arrived with fire engines and ambulances - clearly aware that what they were about to embark upon was likely to turn violent.

Sky News has interviewed the authors of the video and confirmed its authenticity.

It shows protesters confronting the forces who respond immediately with tear gas and volley upon volley of clearly audible automatic rifle fire.

Demonstrators had been camped on the central reservation of the four-lane road since the military coup which deposed Mr Morsi last Wednesday.
Grab from Muslim Brotherhood video of pro-Morsi protest in Cairo The witness video shows the army firing tear gas at pro-Morsi protesters

They had been sleeping in white tents - some had their families with them and had vowed to stay here until Mr Morsi was returned to office.

The military said there was an attempt by the pro-Morsi groups to break through its barbed wire and piling defences of the officers club where Mr Morsi was held during the coup.

It says its soldiers were forced to open fire to defend themselves and that two officers were killed and a number of other troops injured.

Its own video of the events appears to be authentic - they were filmed on the same location as the protesters died.

The armed forces cameramen caught one man firing a pistol at the army, another loading a shotgun and a third firing a weapon from behind shrubbery.

The army videos show wounded soldiers being carried to safety.

They do not prove the armed forces point that they fought to protect the entrance of the officers club - but rather that demonstrators used firearms when they had been pushed some 400 metres back from the gates.

In the film obtained by Sky News from a witness who wanted to remain anonymous, the security forces approached from outside the demonstration, not from the club's interior.

Hundreds of rounds were fired - in the semi-darkness the only muzzle flashes came from the military's lines.

Soldiers and riot police are visible standing by a dead or wounded demonstrator.

Another can be seen being arrested and beaten.

"I know what I saw. There was no attack by the demonstrators on the gates. That was an area where they were singing and dancing. The military attacked the demonstrators. I saw two drop to the ground I don't know if they were dead or not," the witness said.

The witness added they were not a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, the main group behind the demonstrations and had been annoyed at the noise and mess the protesters had made.

The military cleared the road and drove the demonstrators away from the club as dozens of soldiers assembled on foot and in armoured vehicles.

The War You Don't See - Full Video

The War You Don't See is a 2010 British documentary film written, produced and directed by John Pilger with Alan Lowery, which challenges the media for the role they played in the Iraq, Afghanistan, and Israel/Palestine conflicts.

The film begins with footage of an unreported July 12, 2007 Baghdad airstrike and black and white stills of the victims of the U.S. Occupation of Iraq. In his opening narration Pilger quotes World War I British Prime Minister David Lloyd George's comment to Guardian editor C. P. Scott that, "If the people really knew the truth, the war would be stopped tomorrow." He goes on to state that this film will draw on his own experience as a war correspondent to question the role of the media in conflicts such as Iraq and Afghanistan.

#HOPE | CALLING ALL BELIEVERS

Do you know whats harder than looking at pictures of Muslims around the world suffering? ...It's thinking of what action are we going to take to let Allah know that we haven't ignored their cries.

For it feels like we have literally came to the point where no matter what we see - we are unaffected and most likely not going to respond. And as much as it kills me to say this - it's no surprise. For Muhammad (pbuh) warned us of a time that will come when nations will call one another to invade us, the same way they would call one another to a plate of food.

Why did Muhammad (pbuh) compare us to food?!! Because food is lifeless. It doesn't respond when you eat it. No matter how much of the plate you were to eat - it would never fight back nor respond. And this is exactly what we have become. My self first and foremost.

We have become large in number but weak in nature. We have fell in love with this world and neglected the pursuit of the here after. We left Allah, so Allah is waiting for us to return to Him. Waiting for us to leave our sins and run back to His path.

I'm very sorry if this message is harsh. But I want everyone to know that this is the only hope we have to achieving victory. I urge everyone to please SHARE this video. It is a strong reminder.

Let us all change together, leave the love for this world before it leaves us all behind. May Allah make us all steadfast. Amen.


What has come to this world? Is there any hope? The Muslims are being eaten like food all across the globe and the Muslims haven't even responded - Will we ever respond? This is no surprise as the hadith of Muhammad (pbuh) foretold that the Muslims will become like food... YES FOOD!! How will we become like food? We will become a nation that has no resistance. There is no red line. No matter what others will do to us, they will eat us however they like and we will never respond or fight back. Oh Muslims, we must stand up. We have one last and final hope - and this is to turn to Allah's way and defend our honour. Calling all believers to stand up!

Syrian letest news 03.2013

A suicide bomb ripped through a mosque in the heart of the Syrian capital on 21.03.2013, killing a top Sunni Muslim preacher, Sheikh Mohammad Said Ramadan al-Buti with-in at least 40 others were killed and more than 84 wounded.

Its was claim that this action was carry by Syrien rebel, however, everyone should remember the Hama massacre occurred in February 1982, under the orders of the country's president, Hafez Al-Assad, Bashar Assad father, conducted a scorched earth operation against the town of Hama in order to quell a revolt against the government of Hafez al-Assad. The Hama massacre, carried out by the Syrian Army supposedly under commanding General Rifaat al-Assad, President Assad's younger brother. Report stated that 10,000 to 40,00 Syrian citizens were killed. So, its is clear that this regime will do anything for them to keep in power.



Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi say: "We strongly condemn the bombing of mosques and the killing of people inside them. We have no doubt that the regime is responsible for the killing of Dr. Bouti, as we have reliable information on this. In fact, we were working towards to convince him defect from the regime and move outside Syria. The last article we wrote refuting his stance entitled "To Dr Bouti: Wake up from Your State of intoxication" had reached him, and he had begun thinking seriously about breaking away. One of his inner circle was assisting in this effort, Dr. Bouti was preparing to declare something against the regime on Friday as a suprise. We have no doubt that the regime was listening in on all his discussions, and therefore decided to get rid of him."

Struggle of Ethiopian Muslims

Amnesty: Ethiopian Muslims suffering in detention, torture, beatings,excessive use of force by the police during the arrests and the dispersal of protests, detention without access to family member.

Widespread violations feared in clampdown on Muslim protests Amnesty International is concerned over the fate of scores of Muslim protestors arrested in Ethiopia during July, 2012. The arrests took place in the context of ongoing protests against alleged government restrictions on freedom of religion in the country. The detainees are at risk of torture and other ill-treatment, and there have been numerous reports of beatings in detention against those arrested. Some detainees have been held in incommunicado detention since their arrest without access to family members, often in unknown locations. Amnesty International is further concerned at widespread reports of the beating of protestors during demonstrations, and other examples of excessive use of force by the police during the arrests and the dispersal of protests, resulting in many injuries to protestors. Those arrested in July include members of a committee of representatives selected by the Muslim community to represent their grievances to the government and at least one journalist. Amnesty International fears that the arrests of community leaders, protestors and others in the Muslim community, and the pending charges against certain individuals, are based on their lawful exercise of the right to freedom of expression and the right to organize and participate in peaceful protests. Addis Ababa’s Muslim community has staged regular peaceful protests throughout 2012 over grievances including an alleged government-backed effort to impose the teachings of the minority Al Ahbash sect of Islam on the majority community, and government interference in elections for the Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs. Ethiopia’s Constitution prohibits state involvement in religious affairs. The protests have regularly attracted large numbers of people over the last six months.

On 13 July 2012, a police operation targeted a gathering at the Awalia Mosque and Islamic school compound, in north-west Addis Ababa. The gathering was reportedly discussing further protests and also planning and preparing for a Sadaqah (charity) event two days later, to distribute food to people living in poverty. On entering the compound, police are alleged to have used excessive force against those present, beating many men and women in the compound and made numerous arrests.

The same evening, in response to news spreading about the events at Awalia, large numbers of people headed towards Awalia. Witnesses estimate several thousand tried to reach the compound. But the roads were blocked by police and violence flared between police and protestors. Protestors allege that police again used excessive force including beating protestors. Several sources say that police fired live ammunition, resulting in some serious injuries among the protestors.

Large numbers of those on their way to Awalia were arrested. The government confirmed that over 70 people had been detained on 13 July 2012. Protestors and witnesses reported numbers of between 100 and 1,000 people arrested. Those detained were taken away in large military- style trucks. Detainees were first transported to Kolfe Keranyo police station, and later transferred to police stations closer to their respective homes, according to reports. Many of those detained have alleged widespread beating of detainees inside the police stations. One woman reported that she had been subjected to sexual violence by a police officer during the night of 13 July 2012.

A large proportion of the detainees were released without charge after one or two days’ detention. However, many continue to be detained. Several members of the Awalia student council are reported to be detained in Maikelawi federal police detention centre in Addis Ababa, notorious for the use of torture against detainees during interrogation, as documented on numerous occasions by Amnesty International. Whilst the family of one detainee has been able to have contact with their relative, the families of the other members of the student council say they have not been permitted to contact or visit their relatives, in violation of the right of all detainees to have access to family members.

Other detainees arrested at Awalia on 13 July 2012 are reportedly being held in incommunicado detention without access to family members, in unknown locations. Ethiopia’s Criminal Procedure Code demands that all arrested persons are brought before a court within 48 hours to challenge the legality of the detention. Further, incommunicado detention, without access to family members and legal representatives increases detainees’ risk of being subjected to torture or other forms of ill-treatment.

Between 19 and 21 July 2012, members of the committee of chosen representatives of the Muslim community were arrested, including Chairman Abubakar Ahmed, Spokesperson Ahmedin Jebel and committee members Kamil Shemsu, Sultan Aman, Adem Kamil, Jemal Yasim and Meket Muhe. The Committee members are reported to be detained in Maikelawi and are therefore at risk of torture or other forms of ill-treatment.

On 21 July 2012, thousands of Muslims gathered at Anwar Mosque, the largest Mosque in Addis Ababa, to protest against the events at Awalia and the arrests of members of the committee. The event became violent as protestors clashed with police. The government states that protestors threw stones and broke the windows of nearby buildings. Protesters allege that the police fired tear gas and that scores of protestors were beaten by the police. An unknown number of further arrests were made.

Other representatives of the Muslim community have been arrested at different points over the last two weeks, including at least one journalist – Yusuf Getachew of the magazine ‘Ye’muslimoch Guday’ (Muslim Affairs). Getachew is also reported to be detained in Maikelawi, and family members are currently denied access to visit him. Another person told Amnesty International that their sister was arrested and continues to be detained, after police caught her carrying a pamphlet entitled ‘Let our voice be heard.’ One woman reported that she and a group of other women had been temporarily detained by the police and threatened ‘not to go to the Mosque making demands.’ Religious scholars, artists, and other journalists are also reported to have been arrested.

Members of Addis Ababa’s Muslim community have told Amnesty International that they now feel targeted and unsafe. Significant police presence has been reported around Mosques.

The government has confirmed to Amnesty International that those members of the committee of community representatives arrested will be charged with criminal offences based on attempting to undermine the Constitutional order. However, Amnesty International is concerned that the men may have been arrested solely because of their legitimate roles as representatives of the community and their organization and participation in a largely peaceful protest movement over the last six month period.

Crimes against the Constitution are included in both the Criminal Code and the Anti Terrorism Proclamation. For many years, hundreds of members of opposition parties have been charged with such offences under the Criminal Code. More recently journalists and opposition members have been charged with similar offences under the Anti Terror law, including in prosecutions related to peaceful protests. The Anti Terrorism Proclamation contains provisions that are excessively broad and can be used to criminalize the exercise of freedom of expression, freedom of association and freedom of peaceful assembly, including organizing or participating

in peaceful protests. In recent prosecutions under the Anti Terrorism law the government has equated calls for peaceful protests with terrorist activities, and several journalists and opposition members have been sentenced to lengthy prison terms on that basis.

The Ethiopian government regularly exhibits intolerance of any form of dissent. Journalistic reporting on the Muslim protests has been restricted over the last six months. In May, the Voice of America correspondent was arrested while attempting to report on a rally of the protest movement at Awalia, and was detained overnight in Maikelawi and beaten by police officers. In late July the distribution of the newspaper Feteh, one of the very few remaining independent publications in Ethiopia, was blocked by the government reportedly because its front cover, featuring stories about the Muslim protests and the health of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, posed a threat to national security.

Amnesty International calls on the Ethiopian government to immediately and unconditionally release any individuals who have been arrested solely on the basis of their legitimate exercise of their right to freedom of expression, association or peaceful assembly, including by representing the Muslim community and engaging in peaceful protests.

All allegations of torture and other ill-treatment in detention and excessive use of force by police against demonstrators should be subject to immediate, impartial and effective investigations, and where enough admissible evidence of crimes is found, suspected perpetrators should be prosecuted.

Anyone currently held in detention must be brought immediately before a court to challenge the legality of their detention, and subsequently must be promptly charged with a lawful criminal offence consistent with international standards or released. Family members of detainees must be informed of their whereabouts and permitted access to visit them in detention. All detainees must be informed promptly of their right to consult a lawyer.

While some protestors are alleged to have used violence during recent incidents, including by throwing stones at security forces, the use of force, including lethal force, by security forces must comply with human rights standards at all times in order to protect the right to life. Amnesty International urges that any police response to further protests must comply with international requirements of necessity and proportionality in the use of force, in line with the UN Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials. These principles state that in the case of violent assemblies, security forces must only use firearms when less dangerous means are not practicable, and only to the minimum extent necessary. They can only be used in very limited circumstances, such as where there is imminent threat of death or serious injury and when strictly unavoidable to protect life. The use of “less than lethal” weapons including tear gas should be carefully controlled to minimise the risk of endangering people not involved in the incident. Amnesty International urges that only those law enforcement officials who are trained in the use of equipment that involves use of force such as tear gas should be authorized to handle such equipment.

Finally, Amnesty International urges the Ethiopian government to respect all Ethiopians’ right to peacefully protest, as guaranteed under the Ethiopian Constitution and in accordance with Ethiopia’s international legal obligations.

Dont forget Rohingya people

The Rohingya people have been described as “among the world’s least wanted” and “one of the world’s most persecuted minorities.” They have been stripped of their citizenship since a 1982 citizenship law. They are not allowed to travel without official permission, are banned from owning land and are required to sign a commitment to have not more than two children.



According to Amnesty International, the Muslim Rohingya people have continued to suffer from human right violations under the Burmese junta since 1978, and many have fled to neighbouring Bangladesh as a result:

“

The Rohingyas’ freedom of movement is severely restricted and the vast majority of them have effectively been denied Burma citizenship. They are also subjected to various forms of extortion and arbitrary taxation; land confiscation; forced eviction and house destruction; and financial restrictions on marriage. Rohingyas continue to be used as forced labourers on roads and at military camps, although the amount of forced labour in northern Rakhine State has decreased over the last decade. […] In 1978 over 200,000 Rohingyas fled to Bangladesh, following the ‘Nagamin’ (‘Dragon King’) operation of the Myanmar army. Officially this campaign aimed at "scrutinising each individual living in the state, designating citizens and foreigners in accordance with the law and taking actions against foreigners who have filtered into the country illegally." This military campaign directly targeted civilians, and resulted in widespread killings, rape and destruction of mosques and further religious persecution. […] During 1991–92 a new wave of over a quarter of a million Rohingyas fled to Bangladesh. They reported widespread forced labour, as well as summary executions, torture, and rape. Rohingyas were forced to work without pay by the Burmese army on infrastructure and economic projects, often under harsh conditions. Many other human rights violations occurred in the context of forced labour of Rohingya civilians by the security forces.

”

As of 2005, the UNHCR had been assisting with the repatriation of Rohingya from Bangladesh, but allegations of human rights abuses in the refugee camps have threatened this effort.
Despite earlier efforts by the UN, the vast majority of Rohingya refugees have remained in Bangladesh, unable to return because of the negative attitude of the ruling regime in Myanmar. Now they are facing problems in Bangladesh as well where they do not receive support from the government any longer. In February 2009, many Rohingya refugees were rescued by Acehnese sailors in the Strait of Malacca, after 21 days at sea.

Thousands of thousands of Rohingya also have fled to Thailand. There are roughly 111,000 refugees housed in 9 camps along the Thai-Myanmar border. There have been charges that groups of them have been shipped and towed out to open sea from Thailand, and left there. In February 2009 there was evidence of the Thai army towing a boatload of 190 Rohingya refugees out to sea. A group of refugees rescued by Indonesian authorities also in February 2009 told harrowing stories of being captured and beaten by the Thai military, and then abandoned at open sea. By the end of February there were reports of a group of 5 boats were towed out to open sea, of which 4 boats sank in a storm, and 1 boat washed up on the shore. 12 February 2009 Thailand's prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said there were "some instances" in which Rohingya people were pushed out to sea.
 

“

There are attempts, I think, to let these people drift to other shores. [...] when these practices do occur, it is done on the understanding that there is enough food and water supplied. [...] It's not clear whose work it is [...] but if I have the evidence who exactly did this I will bring them to account.

”

The prime minister said he regretted "any losses", and was working on rectifying the problem.
Steps to repatriate Rohingya began in 2005. In 2009 Bangladesh announced it will repatriate around 9,000 Rohingya living in refugee camps in the country back to Burma, after a meeting with Burmese diplomats.


In 16 October 2011, the new government of Burma agreed to take back registered Rohingya refugees. However violence, rape, torture and mass genocide against those Rohingya inside the very secretive nation of Burma continues

Lahad Datu - Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Malaysian security forces on battled a group of Filipino intruders in the rugged terrain of Borneo after they escaped a military assault with fighter jets and mortar fire on their hideout, police said. One Filipino was shot and believed killed.

It was not clear if any of the intruders suffered any casualties in Tuesday’s assault before they melted away into the jungles, chased by hundreds of Malaysian security forces. Previous clashes between the two sides have left 19 intruders and eight policemen dead.

Malaysia’s national police chief Ismail Omar said security forces exchanged gunfire in a hilly coastal district thick with foliage slightly after dawn. One clansman was shot and possibly killed, he said.

“We’re in a good position. We ask the public not to panic,” Ismail said, adding that authorities would expand their search area beyond the current 4 square kilometers (1.5 square miles).

The bizarre security crisis involves some 200 armed members of a Philippine Muslim clan, which claims to have a royal ancestral right over Malaysia’s resource-rich eastern state of Sabah. They arrived with little fanfare from southern Philippines, a short boat ride away, three weeks ago and occupied a remote part of Sabah after scaring away the villagers.

Ignoring appeals by the Malaysian government as well as Philippine President Benigno Aquino III, the intruders have refused to leave to highlight their claim.

The crisis has caught both countries by surprise. Few in Malaysia or the Philippines even know about the Filipino group led by Jamalul Kiram III, who claims to be the sultan, or the hereditary ruler, of the southern, predominantly Muslim province of Sulu in the Philippines.

Sabah and Sulu are separated by a narrow strip of the Sulu Sea that at its shortest span can be traversed by boat in 30 minutes. The two provinces have shared traditional ties and people, who are of the same ethnic stock, frequently travel back and forth. Some 800,000 Filipinos, mostly Muslims, have settled in Sabah over the years to seek work and stability.

Although tensions between the two communities are not uncommon, it is feared that the Kiram’s claims and the violence over the past week will sour relations further and could lead to retaliation against the long-staying Filipino settlers.

On Tuesday, Malaysian soldiers and police attacked the area occupied by Kiram’s followers for three weeks in an assault codenamed “Operation Sovereign” involving fighter jets, ground troops and mortar fires.

“Bombs were dropped, but they are still safe,” Jacel Kiram, the sultan’s daughter, said in Manila where she and her father are based.

She said her father’s brother, who is leading the occupiers in Sabah, informed her by telephone that he and his followers were unhurt.

The Filipinos insist that Sabah, a state rich with timber and oil, had once belonged to their royal sultanate for more than a century and should be handed back.

What began as an outlandish but peaceful occupation turned violent after the Filipinos fatally shot two Malaysian policemen last week. Six other police officers were ambushed and killed by other Filipino assailants believed to be linked to the clansmen at a waterfront village in another Sabah district on Saturday. The Malaysians shot and killed 19 clansmen and their suspected allies.

Philippine Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario met his Malaysian counterpart this week and “pursued the possibility of allowing for an unconditional surrender of the group to avert further loss of lives and allow them to return to their respective homes and families,” according to the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday.

Malaysian government officials have said the Filipinos must be prosecuted either in Malaysia or the Philippines for crimes such as murder.

Activists have called for tougher border security and immigration policies in Sabah, presenting a major political challenge to Prime Minister Najib Razak’s ruling coalition, which faces general elections that must be held by the end of June.

Some fear the crisis will also complicate peace talks brokered by Malaysia between Manila and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, the main Muslim rebel group in the southern Philippines.

Half of all food is wasted

LONDON, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Up to half of all the food produced worldwide ends up going to waste due to poor harvesting, storage and transport methods as well as irresponsible retailer and consumer behaviour, a report said on Thursday.

The world produces about four billion metric tonnes of food a year but 1.2 to 2 billion tonnes is not eaten, the study by the London-based Institution of Mechanical Engineers said.

"This level of wastage is a tragedy that cannot continue if we are to succeed in the challenge of sustainably meeting our future food demands," said.

In developed countries, like Britain, efficient farming methods, transport and storage mean that most of the wastage occurs through retail and customer behaviour.

Retailers produce 1.6 million tonnes of food waste a year because they reject crops of edible fruit and vegetables because they do not meet exacting size and appearance criteria, the report by the engineering society said.

"Thirty percent of what is harvested from the field never actually reaches the marketplace (primarily the supermarket) due to trimming, quality selection and failure to conform to purely cosmetic criteria," it said.

Of the food which does reach supermarket shelves, 30-50 percent of what is bought in developed countries is thrown away by customers, often due to poor understanding of "best before" and "use by" dates.

A "use by" date is when there is a health risk associated with using food after that date. A "best before" date is more about quality - when it expires it does not necessarily mean food is harmful but it may lose some flavour and texture.

However, many consumers do not know the difference between the labels and bin food after "best before" dates.

Promotional offers and bulk discounts also encourage shoppers to buy large quantities in excess of their needs.

In Britain, about 10.2 billion pounds' ($16.3 billion) worth of food is thrown away from homes every year, with one billion pounds' worth being perfectly edible, the report found.

By contrast, in less developed countries, such as in sub-Saharan Africa or South East Asia, wastage mostly happens due to inefficient harvesting and poor handling and storage.

In South-East Asian countries, for example, losses of rice range from 37 to 80 percent of their entire production, totalling about 180 million tonnes per year, the report said.

The United Nations predicts global population will peak at around 9.5 billion people by 2075, meaning there will be an additional 2.5 billion people to feed.

The real Holocaust that never taught

The real Holocaust that you were never taught about an School

Communism was invented by Jewish Karl Mark, Lev Davidovich Bronshtein who was Jewish, changed his name to Leon Trotsky to sound more Russian, Joseph Stalin was a Georgian Jew and many others. When will the Jewish community apologize to the Russian people?

Trotsky—Lenin Holocaust forms part of the Red Holocaust which took place from the initial enslavement of the Russian Empire under Bolshevism in 1917, up until the death of Vladimir Lenin in 1924. It has been estimated that 13 million Christians were exterminated during this time and almost all of the positions of power were in the hands of Jews. Most notably the Red Army was controlled by Leon Trotsky, while the state itself was headed by Lenin. Some of the most high-profile victims of this phase of the Red Holocaust were Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and his entire family. Much of this was carried out under the pseudo-rationale of "class war" (sometimes called the Red Terror), despite the fact that most of the Jews in positions of control were university educated and from middle-class backgrounds.

"For pure murderous evil, there has never been a force to compare with Communism and Leon Trotsky. The Nazis didn't come close. The Holocaust was uniquely malignant - never before or since did one people construct a vast industry of death for the sole purpose of rounding up and destroying every single member of another people.The Communist Russians under orders and overseen by Trotsky,killed so may Christians the death toll surpasses 100 million." - (Originally From: http://www.bigeye.com/jacoby.htm) TO THE VICTIMS OF COMMUNISM, LEST WE FORGET By Jeff Jacoby The Boston Globe December 7, 1995 which has dropped off of the web but may be accessed now at www.archive.org.This information on the amount Of Killing done by Russian Jews from the 1920s to 1940s is documented in the Library of Congress.Many Millions of People world wide,especially Christians are learning the supposed Holocaust by Hitler was nothing compared to what Soviet Jews did to Christians (and also to the million Muslim who live under Soviet that time).This truth will come out and the Jewish media will no longer surpress the truth about "The REAL Holocaust'!

Lev Davidovich Bronstein✡☭ (7 November 1879—21 August 1940), better known as Leon Trotsky, was a communist Jew, mass murderer and Marxist ideologue, born to a wealthy land-owning family in the Ukraine. An international subversive and Bolshevik politician during the early years, he is perhaps best known as the founder of the Red Army, as well as for his criminal role in the Red Holocaust against Russians and other gentiles. After the Judeo-Bolsheviks enslaved Russia and created the Soviet Empire, Trotsky acted as Commissar of Foreign Affairs and later Commissar of Military and Naval Affairs. He was among the first members of the Politburo, represented as a full member between 1917 and 1926 .
Funded by Jacob Schiff✡ and Max Warburg,✡^[1][2] Trotsky was the prefered candidate for the international bankers and after conspiring against Joseph Stalin was expelled from the Communist Party and deported from the Soviet Empire in the Great Purge. As the head of the Fourth International, he continued in exile to be jealous of Stalin's power in the Soviet Empire, and was eventually eliminated in Mexico by Ramón Mercader, a Soviet agent.^[3] Trotsky's ideas form the basis of Trotskyism, one of the most potently Jewish variations of communist theory, which remains a major school of Marxism. It advocates "Permanent Revolution", rather than the gradualist approach of Stalin's partisans.
