I hadn't seen this thread yet. Loving the picture of the Boko Haram dude holding up an ISIS flag with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

Jagchosis posted:Central African Republic has been racked with religiously motivated violence this weekend. It started when a Christian militia abducted and murdered a Muslim taxi driver for whatever reason, which has prompted reprisal violence that has left at least 24 dead and 100 wounded in the capital. French peacekeepers have been criticized for failure to stop the violence. If we go off past history, the peacekeepers were all but abandoned, and they're just a convenient scapegoat for a lack of political will supporting the overall mission.

Kenya doesn't gently caress around with their hostile situation drills. quote:A security drill at a Nairobi university has led to the death of a staff member after many panicked when security forces used what students thought was live ammunition to stage a pretend attack on the school.  http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/11/mass-panic-kenyan-university-stages-terror-drill-151130125615364.html

Slaan posted:There have been several university massacres there in the last few years. I can see why they would want to prepare more for it, though not warning the university was incredibly dumb, yeah. My understanding was that it was the university that put the drill together. They just didn't give anyone a heads up, including staff.

ECOWAS is going to intervene in Gambia if Jammeh doesn't leave by midnight. Forces are staging in Senegal, and Nigeria has a warship on the coast. Its air and ground forces are all staged as well. Ghana, Togo, and Mali are also participating.

Lead out in cuffs posted:And yes it is racist as gently caress, and has a long history of being racist as gently caress, and the racists who told you that it isn't are morons on top of their racism. Different words have different connotations in different languages. In the US, there's a long history of racist cartoons and hate speech that portrayed African Americans as apes, and that's why it's a racially charged term today. For instance, dog is a nasty thing to call someone, but there's no racist connotation with it because that's not a line people tried to draw historically. But if they had, and dog was a common slur for black people, calling anyone a dog today would have a whole different meaning. And if there was a society in which dog had a history as a racial slur, I'm sure that society would be appalled at people from another society not recognizing that context. That said, "ape" is a common one across multiple languages, and South Africa and the US have very similar histories re: race. quote:On January 26, 1990, a heartbeat ago in historical terms, a father took his son to a cricket match. During the lunch interval, they paused on a grass bank behind a chain-link fence and watched riot police set dogs on protesters. It's definitely a leftover term from apartheid.

The death toll from yesterday's attack in Mogadishu has now hit 189 and some reports have it well over 200. It was a VBIED that was detonated at the busiest intersection in the city. Al Jazeera has a report from the scene. https://youtu.be/xsYZZh-4fwI
