how on earth can they possibly know that / make such an illuminati style prediction
UN is and has always been a whole lot of shit, too much money paid to those honchos i figure??
they feel they need to make a statement, thats invariably wrong anyway
so easy to change there minds or let the next one make some other prediction
you read these reports and you wonder why they make such/any statement at all ..stats and data are often crap

and
while its probably a good the Western World is virtually leaving the African Countries alone, they suffer much the same with major natural catastrophies none the less ..

SAD
African Countries that rarely get a mention

Malawi floods ..

^^ in context to your latest post - boko haram attacked a village, distroyed it in zotal and killed at least 2000 people
Boko Haram claims Nigeria massacre that killed 2,000 - NY Daily News - to bad it isnt a big oil exporting area, like the middle east

 

[rbkwp]

- to bad it isnt a big oil exporting area, like the middle east



agree yes
i believe China is silently making inroads into some of the African Countries/Minerals perhaps
imagine they will be a force to be reckoned with when the Western World finally decide they want a piece of the African action

as for that Haram prick, cant stand him, shithead Jonathan is likely greasing up that asshole
... Amin / Mugabe etc written all over them me thinks ..

Numero uno reason for AFRICOM! To stir it up! One BIG difference between USA and China. China's Approach; i.e. "Let us help you. We are in need of your precious resources. If you allow us, we will build and improve your industrial infrastructure, any thing you want, as long as you allow us to mine the resources we need"
What does the USA do? AFRICOM!!!
Sometime next year, 2016, China's economy is due to eclipse the USA. China also holds over 1.317 Trillion Dollars of US Debt. Our economies are closely linked, in one sense, as long as Americans keep buying stuff made in China( almost everything), the Chinese middle class will prosper. But if the gravy train gets derailed, look out!!

A bit of irony, China relies on Iranian Oil more than the US relies on Saudi Arabia. As long as the US continues to press sanctions on Iran, China will continue to get More Iranian Oil at a cheaper price since Iran will be hurting for Chinese Business..( sorry, off topic)

Well, did mention Ebola in a thread to do with the Aids virus about 12 to 18 months ago when it stood at 200 fatalities. Amongst all my other waffle Am so glad there were Aussies willing to do their bit. So pissed off at my government sending troops to Afghanistan and Iraq at a whim of an ally.

Yet ignore Humankind..................always it shits me. Can I blame it on Evolution? Has to be a reason.

yes i concur
my thoughts exactly Boobs, too busy interfering with many other Countries to be bothered with the Africas .. at the moment
lets see how it goes when China calls in/demands its debt repayment!
