interesting part. I always thought that french was the main language in central and western africa.

by far, I remember that english was the ugliest language I had to learn in school

I want to learn russian, german more than english.

French is the main language, but wide spread is also Creole a different version of English.

Many in W.Afrika speak 3, 4 or 5 languages.

Good that you learned English... will help you more. I would have loved to learn latin, but it's been English. Now I'm happy that I learned it, but still regret that I haven't learned anything else.

I think you might find that German is the ugliest most guttural language ever, French French is romantic and Italian very very mama mia!

The most populous country in West Africa is Nigeria, by a long way. Central Africa is more French speaking, apart from Angola and parts of Cameroon. But when you are talking about any European languages in Africa (unlike in the Americas) they tend to be official or business languages, most people's mother tongue will still be their local language.

The concept of whether a language is attractive or not is highly subjective. Look at French for example, some view the language as soft and romantic, others view it as monotonous and nasal. Personally I think it has its charms, but it certainly lacks the lyrical quality of other romance languages like Spanish, Italian or Brazilian Portuguese.

I'm agree with you. french, latin, greek, italian and portuguese have power and elegance. It comes from the grammar. They avoid vagueness, and change in subtle pronounciation that happens frequently in english.

Rohingya Muslims Attempt to Flee Myanmar Violence
They’re running for their lives. Myanmar’s army has been accused of indiscriminately killing Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine, the country’s poorest region, after militant members of the sect attacked about 30 police stations Friday. Close to 100 people have been killed in clashes since then, and thousands of Rohingya have fled their homes, only to be turned away at the Bangladesh border despite protestations that they’ll be killed if they go back. Pope Francis issued a plea for their safety, calling on “men and women of goodwill” to help Myanmar’s persecuted minority.

and justification to pay collectively to the services provided to refugees when we should focus to pay for children and retired people.
This is an argument that touch a sensitive rope.

to many cater for the photo shop pictures aimed at tugging the purse strings, many pictures staged and inaccurate rather than concentrate of the poverty at home, poor old people services, children living rough - sort out home first then start overseas.

We shouldn't let play one group that needs support against another that need support as well.

We are wealthy enouvh to support both, different to Bangladesh even if their acting is wrong.

The Malta-based Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS) on Monday cited an "increasingly complex context" for its decision to suspend operations to rescue migrants in the Mediterranean.

The number of migrants plying the Mediterranean have fallen dramatically this summer following an EU deal with

Suu Kyi's silence on Rohingya crisis, explained

Published on Sep 6, 2017
Nobel Peace prize winner, Aung San Suu Kyi has come under fire for not condemning the Rohingya's prosecution in Myanmar. In April, she said "I don't think there is ethnic cleansing going on." She also refused to allow UN investigators access to the region. Now, the country's UN special envoy called for Suu Kyi to step in after violence flared in Rakhine state.
Duncan Crawford explains.

'Genocide' in Myanmar

In Burma, you see Nazi paraphernalia on the streets. You see people with T-shirts that might have Hitler on them or SS helmets that are used as motorcycle helmets. Whether people are aware of the connotations or not is another question, that we weren't able to answer. We did find that the local nationalist party in Rakhine State used phrases like "defend the fatherland", and they talk about while Hitler and [Heinrich] Himmler may have been enemies of the Jews, they were most likely heroes to the German people. They talk about defence of the blood lines and things like that, which could be inferred to come from Nazi ideolo\\

Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi to Skip UN General Assembly
She’s got some explaining to do. As the crisis in Myanmar over reported systemic killings and expulsions of Rohingya Muslims has mounted, so has criticism of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Suu Kyi. Myanmar’s leader has refused to condemn military crackdowns on the Rohingya after a small band of Muslim rebels attacked police, and now says she’ll skip next week’s U.N. gathering to focus on the “terrorist attacks.” Meanwhile, the U.N. Security Council is meeting about the crisis today, but with Russia and China backing Myanmar, no action is expected.

[The Meat Rod Cometh]

Within the past 12 month the number of refugees has increased by 10 million people, to now over 60 million refugees world wide. Everyday another 47,000 people more desite to leave their home

Reasons are war, failed states, dictatorships and economical problems.

To feed and guarantee a minimum standard for living for all current refugees, the world would have to spend around 60 billions per annual. (Probably even more)


What do you think are solutions to solve the refugee problem?

How should we care for them?
How should we solve the causes for so many refugees?

And please think about a long term solution. For example Syria. Just to make sure that Assad will be gone and ISIS is beaten won't be enough.
The "rebellions" are more than 20 different groups of interest, one of them is Al Qaida. Also would the Kurds demand their own state. How to solve this?

What about Ethiopia? How would you make sure that freedom, peace, security and prosperity would rule and the war lords don't have a chance to get back in power?

How to stop boko haram in Mali?

Chose a hot spot for refugee emigration and tell us how you would solve it.

Doing away with Islam in those countries would lead to tremendous results. Requiring people to renounce Islam before being allowed to come into this country would be another easy fix.
Or at least require them to formally renounce certain statements in the Koran regarding the destructing of other religions before being allowed into this country. That would be more feasible. There are many such statements.

If such people are as truly "moderate" as they claim, then they will happily and with no issue whatsoever formally renounce any and every statement in the Koran that instructs them to kill people like me. If they refuse then they are obviously not "moderate" Muslims.
Its a very simple test of true moderation.

There are many other immigrants and refugees of other religions, but keeping out the Islamic madness completely would be the first practical step.
