Children Beheaded in Africa, White House is Silent.

[DriftingSand]

I want Obama to do more than say something, I want Obama to send the Secretary of State to begin with.

Maybe we get lucky and Kerry is mistaken for an African child.

 

[elektra]

Well, if first you don't succeed, try, try, again.

I hear many statements coming from the White House, and considering we have a President whose ancestry is from Africa, I wonder why the silence in light of the brutal murder of children in Africa.

UNICEF - Press centre - Horrific cruelty and violence against children in Central African Republic must end: UNICEF

At least 133 children killed or maimed in past two months

NEW YORK/DAKAR, Senegal, 13 February 2014 – UNICEF officials in the West Africa region said today they are horrified by the cruelty and impunity with which children are being killed and mutilated in the Central African Republic.

According to the UN children’s agency, recent weeks have witnessed unprecedented levels of violence against children in sectarian and retaliatory attacks by anti-Balaka militia and ex-Séléka combatants – acts that constitute grave violations against children.

“Children are increasingly targeted because of their religion, or because of their community,” said UNICEF West and Central Africa Regional Director, Manuel Fontaine. “Sectarian violence in Central African Republic has intensified, both in the capital Bangui, and in the west and centre of the country.”

At least 133 children have been killed and maimed, some of them in horrific ways, in two months of escalating ethno-religious violence. UNICEF has verified cases of children intentionally beheaded and mutilated, and is aware of cases of children wounded in the cross-fire, who have had to have limbs amputated because insecurity blocked them from getting to the hospital in time for treatment. In the town of Boali, northwest of the capital, one in four casualties has been among children, with 22 killed and 42 injured since early December.

So by your logic, a white President should be unduely concerned about events occuring in Europe? Knucklehead self-destruction isn't going away anytime soon, but there's only so much you can do. Interven and you catch hell for meddling, do nothing and you catch hell for being indifferent. It's a lose-lose proposition. Some things just have to be solved internally.

NO, not by my logic, only by your cheap ass political twisting of a simple post so that you can denigrate the messenger and not address the facts.

You know, if you used Mozilla Firefox as a web browser you could catch you gross spelling errors.

Further, I think you meant to say "a white President should be duly concerned about events occurring in Europe?

 

[elektra]

The White House (Obama) turns a blind eye when men, women, and children are massacred wholesale but sends emissaries (Kerry) when "gays" are discriminated against.

Bloody death and mayhem = okay
Moral standards = taboo

Exactly, Kerry goes to Uganda with Scientists to address a law that another Country makes that concerns Homosexuals yet all the Liberal/Leftist/Democrats are up in arms stating we have no rights or national interest in Somalia when a woman is murdered.

Hypocrites are the Liberals/Leftist/Democrats, just how does one be bipartisan and compromise with a hypocrite.

What happen in Africa stays in Africa

Murder happens in Africa by the Religion of Islam yet Murder happens in the USA by the Religion of Islam.

but, what difference does it make, right?

US jets to bolster African search for warlord Kony
Wed, Mar 26, 2014 - HUNTER BEING HUNTED: Joseph Kony is notorious for leading a Ugandan militant group using tactics such as punishment by dismemberment and child sex slavery

The US military is deploying four tilt-rotor transport planes to Uganda in response to African Union requests for airlift support in the hunt for the elusive leader of the violent Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) extremist group, the Pentagon said on Monday. The US Department of Defense has deployed the four CV-22 Ospreys, which can take off and land vertically, to Uganda from Djibouti along with tanker refueling airplanes, 150 air crew and support personnel, Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby said. “Airlift has been one of the consistent requirements and requests of the African Union. We are in a position now to provide that airlift for a while and we’re going to do it,” Kirby said. “This is very much in keeping with the mission goals at large.”

A 5,000-strong African Union Regional Task Force supported by 100 US Special Operations troops has been hunting warlord Joseph Kony and his LRA fighters, most of whom are thought to be hiding in jungles straddling the borders of the Central African Republic, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Osprey jets will be used to help African Union troops respond more quickly to tips on the whereabouts of Kony, whose forces are known for their extreme violence, including chopping off limbs as a form of punishment and abducting young girls for use as sex slaves. The CV-22 Osprey is a Special Operations variant of the aircraft developed for the US Marine Corps and can carry about 24 troops plus their gear.

The Ospreys and four refueling tankers — two C-130s and two KC-135 — will join the 100 US Special Ops troops who have been in Uganda for a year advising and assisting African Union forces involved in the search for Kony. Kirby said the Ospreys would remain in Uganda only a short time before returning to their base in Djibouti, but would likely return periodically to Uganda to help with the effort against Kony. “I think it’s safe to say that these aircraft and these crews will probably redeploy back over time,” Kirby told a Pentagon news conference. “They probably won’t be on the ground for very long, but they’ll be back.”

He said the additional 150 personnel consisted of air crew and maintenance personnel and would travel back and forth between Djibouti and Uganda with the planes. Djibouti is the site of Camp Lemonnier — the only US military base in Africa — which is home to about 2,500 troops who work on building military ties with countries in the region.

and now the answer is clear, the White House's silence leads to 300 girls sold as sexual slaves.

Why are our allies not acting?

To do what?
Won't your church do something?

Because it's not politically expedient to the narcissist-in-chief, political ideologue hack president.

 

[Indofred]

what happen in africa stays in africa

aids?

 

[wavingrl]

I'm sure there is much more going on Africa and elsewhere that is beyond belief.

It would seem that this will be a focus for the next half century at least. What can ever be done----I have absolutely no idea.

It was very disturbing to hear someone in Nigeria tell a parent--'You need to think of your daughter as dead'. That seems to be the reality.

I've seen the photos of children amputees due to Muslims wielding machetes against them. It is time to confront the problem head on and the problem is Islam.

I don't think people who do things like this have any 'religious' beliefs--regardless of what they say.

'A wild mob'--terrorizing anywhere they can.

Yes, an old thread, but in light of recent kidnappings of hundreds of girls, maybe had Obama did something about the Children being beheaded the current kidnappings would never of happened.

Not important to the Obama agenda and doctrine. "Destroy traditional America at all costs" is the mantra. Atrocities elsewhere is insignificant and immaterial.

 

[Sallow]

Yes, an old thread, but in light of recent kidnappings of hundreds of girls, maybe had Obama did something about the Children being beheaded the current kidnappings would never of happened.

Well no.

Places like West Africa didn't happen over night.

The "countries" in Africa, like those strangely enough, in the Middle East, are the result of colonialism.

When one set of folks completely dominate and screw up the ethnic/cultural identities of another set of folks, this is generally the result.

And there's no easy fix.

The white house has no clue how to handles African violence so they stay out. Its pretty sad. Its to tribal in many places and the rule of law concept is not really understood in those regions. not to mention the Islamists there trying to assert their will on people there
