PupsOfWar posted:what's this cartoon supposed to represent re: somali famine quote:Almost 260,000 people, half of them young children, died of hunger during the last famine in Somalia, according to a UN report that admits the world body should have done more to prevent the tragedy. The toll is much higher than was feared at the time of the 2010-2012 food crisis in the troubled Horn of Africa country and also exceeds the 220,000 who starved to death in a 1992 famine, according to the findings. Latuff doesn't just do I/P stuff, he does cartoons about tons of events affecting people worldwide. Sometimes you just need to remind people that horrible stuff is happening, otherwise it just gets swept under the rug. fade5 fucked around with this message at 18:13 on May 3, 2015 |

ZenVulgarity posted:I'm scared of the avatar fairy 42 BCE: War is happening in the Roman Empire. Marcus Brutus begins to plunder the cities of Asia Minor, in order to obtain money and soldiers. The inhabitants of Lycia refused to submit to Rome, and Brutus besieged Xanthus. After destroying their suburbs, the Xanthians withdrew into the heavily fortified city. The Roman legionaries (2,000 men) forced the gate and fight their way into the forum. The citizens made an heroic stand by the temple of Sarpedon, as night falls the Roman army conquers the city. The Xanthians preferred to perish in the flames rather than to yield. 42 CE: War is still happening in the Roman Empire. Romans take control of Ceuta, a port city on the North African side of the Strait of Gibraltar. The territories of the current Algeria and Morocco become a Roman province. The Dalmatian legate, Furius Camillus Scribonianus, revolts but his troops defect and his rebellion quickly withers.

fade5 posted:don't be scared, embrace it If you would have done "war is happening in the Roman Empire" and people just ran with it I would have laughed real hard Good actual posts though If there's a date close to the CE line, do we typically do both BCE and CE? And it's hard to edit history snipes on my phone.

Which is better, the freedom of anarchy without necessary social norms to foster development, or the freedom from starvation which political order empowered against existing social norms and customs provides?

French Resistance Coup in Algiers: 400 French civil resisters neutralize the Vichyist XIXth Army Corps and the Vichyist generals (Juin, Darlan, etc.) thus allowing the immediate success of Operation Torch in Algiers, and ultimately the whole of French North Africa. I've also been trying to throw in more BCE stuff, since last thread was basically all CE events. We can't have negative page numbers, so ya gotta put BCE events somewhere. fade5 fucked around with this message at 18:39 on May 3, 2015 |
