I’ve been following the news events about Nigeria’s supposedly Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram. However, something doesn’t sit right with me in the way the whole situation is being reported. Of course, western media as usual simplifies all conflicts into 2 opposing sides… in this case Muslims vs. Christians… with these Muslim extremists confirming all [...]

Even if this is not the case in Libya, there is a naked truth behind this. When Muamar Gadaffi was cornered, he employed mercenaries in duped or dumped cops from South to thwart [...]
