The United Nations is reporting that January was the deadliest month in Somalia since last August. Hundreds of Somalis were killed and tens of thousands forced from their homes in January. At least 258 civilians were killed and 253 wounded as government forces clashed with rebel militia in the central regions of the country while nearly 29,000 people fled fighting. Many men, women and children are reportedly sleeping in the open without shelter or access to enough water. More than 1.4 million people are internally displaced in Somalia, and 560,000 Somalis live as refugees in the neighboring countries such as Kenya.
As Somali refugees flood in to Kenya, tensions have begun to increase between the two countries due to the increased number of Somalis fleeing into Kenya over the past month. Kenya has also begun to round up and arrest Somali immigrants and refugees.
As unrest continues throughout the continent -- in East Africa as well as West Africa -- and indeed in nations around the world -- one might wonder if there is a “spilling-over” effect?
Is there a season for everything ... “A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace?”

China and Russia put the blame on some screwed up experiments of US for the earthquake that happened in Haiti.
Chinese and Russian Military scientists, these reports say, are concurring with Canadian researcher, and former Asia-Pacific Bureau Chief of Forbes Magazine, Benjamin Fulford, who in a very disturbing video released from his Japanese offices to the American public, details how the United States attacked China by the firing of a 90 Million Volt Shockwave from the Americans High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) facilities in Alaska
If we can recollect a previous news when US blamed Russia for the earthquake in Georgio. What do you guys think? Is it really possible to create an earthquake by humans?
I came across this [url=http://universalages.com/hot-news/what-happened-in-haiti-is-it-related-to-haarp/]article about Haiti Earthquake[/url] in some blog it seems very interesting, but conspiracy theories have always been there.
Hello. And Bye.
