U.S Ebola Nurse Breaks Quarantine!

In what was described as violation of her right, after she tested negative twice for Ebola, has no symptoms, but went on quarantine; Kaci Hickox, the U.S nurse who helped treated Ebola patients in West Africa, broke her quarantine by stepping outside with her boyfriend and spoke briefly to reporters Wednesday night.

U.S Nurse: Kaci Hickox

"I remain appalled by these home quarantine policies that have been forced upon me even though I am in perfectly good health," Hickox reportedly told a News source.

"I am not going to sit around and be bullied around by politicians and be forced to stay in my home when I am not a risk to the American public," she said.

Officials said she had a temperature - which she denies,  she was however released from Newark on Monday and flown back to Maine to be monitored at her boyfriend's house in Fort Kent. 

'I am frustrated by this fact, and I have been told that it is the Attorney General’s intention to file legal action against me.

'And if this does occur, I will challenge the legal actions.'

'We have been in negotiations all day with the state of Maine and tried to resolve this amicably, but they are not allowing me to leave my house and interact with the public even though I am completely healthy and symptom free,' Hickox reportedly told the Press Herald.

Shaking  the hand of a British reporter at the scene, she said 'You could hug me. You could shake my hand. I would not give you Ebola,'.

Maine Health Commissioner Mary Mayhew reportedly said at a news conference... "When it is made clear by an individual in this risk category that they do not intend to voluntarily stay at home for the remaining 21 days, we will immediately seek a court order to ensure that they do not make contact with the public,".

Hickox criticized state guidelines that would require her to stay isolated at home for 21 days, saying she was "appalled" at restrictions she deemed unconstitutional and not based on science.

Kaci Hickox, who has been reportedly visiting the countries most affected by the Ebola Epidemic - Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia - to show US support, as well as Ghana, where the United Nations Mission for Ebola Emergency Response is based, claims that many other aid workers have entered the country and continue to do so without having to go through what she had.

17 year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai,  who received the 2014 World's Children's Prize in Sweden on Wednesday, said she would donate the £50,000 World's Children's Prize to the United Nations United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, to help rebuild 65 schools damaged during the 50-day war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.  

According to her, "Innocent Palestinian children have suffered terribly and for too long,"  she said.

Yazidi Women Enslavement, And Chibok Kidnap, Could there Just Be A Growing Slave Black Market?

According to a Human Rights Watch report, hundreds of women and girls belonging to the Yazidi religious minority have been enslaved by Islamic State militants. They are reportedly sold off, forced to marry men old enough to be their grand fathers, and convert to Islam. Yazidi women are mandated to cover themselves, even their faces and some reportedly raped with impunity.

16 Yazidi women who escaped this brutality were successfully tracked down by the Human Rights Watch, shared their stories via phone interview, of multiple rapes and forced religious conversions, with some of the victims just children – militants just picked up “those they desired, sometimes with force.” 
They revealed that it was a common practice for IS to separate its captives into categories, depending on their age and sex. 

The issue of kidnap, rape and horrifying public executions has become a trade mark for militants. 



It will be recalled that in May, shortly after the kidnap of school girls from Chibok village, Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau in a video released, said “I abducted a girl at a Western education school and you are disturbed. I said Western education should end. Western education should end. Girls, you should go and get married,” he said.

“I will repeat this: Western education should fold up. I abducted your girls. I will sell them in the market,”

“I will marry off a woman at the age of 12. I will marry off a girl at the age of nine,” Shekau said, claiming his group was holding the girls as “slaves”.

A magazine reportedly published by ISIS recently, claimed that enslaving infidel women is justified by Islamic law. "We will … enslave your women, by the permission of Allah, the Exalted. 

A claim allegedly rejected by the vast majority of Muslims.

With a vast majority of Muslims allegedly rejecting claims that enslaving so called infidel women and girls on the verge of attained at least a minimum education for their future survival, is justified by Islamic law...
...is the world slowly being confronted with a much bigger challenge?
could these militant groups be deeply involve in a booming black market slave trade?

Zuma Mourns Senzo Meyiwa, as Police Offered 250,000 Rand For Information On Suspects!

"We mourn the death of this young footballer and team leader whose life has been taken away at the prime of his career,” those were the words of South Africa’s president, Jacob Zuma, as he led tributes to the captain of the country’s national football team, Senzo Meyiwa, who was killed by robbers at his girlfriend’s home.

The law enforcement authorities must leave no stone unturned in finding his killers and bring them to justice. Words cannot express the nation’s shock at this loss.” Zuma said on Monday“.

Information revealed that the 27-year-old goalkeeper, was shot in the chest at the home of Kelly Khumalo – a singer and celebrity – in a township near Johannesburg. 

Police report revealed that two men entered Khumalo’s house in the Vosloorus township at about 8pm local time. There were seven people inside. Meyiwa was shot in the upper body after moving towards the door, where another person was struggling with one of the attackers. He was taken to hospital but died on arrival.

A third assailant waited outside the house and all three fled on foot immediately after the shooting. They stole one mobile phone in the process.

The goalkeeper’s friend Tumelo Waka Madlala, who was at the house during the robbery, told the Associated Press Meyiwa was shot while trying to stop the intruders. “As they were running away we tried to stop them and that is when they shot him at point blank range,” Madlala  said.

While addressing newsmen in Johannesburg, National football team coach Ephraim Mashaba wiped away tears as he spoke about Meyiwa. “Most of the time, these things come when you least expect,”  

“We’re going to miss Senzo a lot … never mind his saving goals.

“Don’t think such a good man as Senzo can go and vanish. His spirit will live. He would always be the leader.” he said

Chairman of Soweto based Orlando Pirates, Irvin Khoza, Meyiwa’s popular league club, said the team were devastated by the killing. 

“We had a session in the morning with the players at which we were soul-searching. A lot of sobbing and crying. It was uncontrollable.” he said.

The National Police Commissioner, General Riah Phiyega, described the incident as a tragic case and in her word, a “very unpalatable situation”. 

She said two suspects were believed to be in their late 20s and one in his early 30s. One is reported to be “tall, slender, dark skinned with dreadlocks” while another is “short, dark and well-built”.

She further appealed to the community to assist with information that would lead to their arrest. “We believe that someone, somewhere, somehow, knows about this crime,” Phiyega said.

Aware of worldwide media scrutiny, Phiyega said: “This type of loss does not augur well for our brand and image out there, so it is important for us to ensure that, when we have those type of spoilers in our society, we as police go out there and bring about their arrest and incarceration.

“We wish to assure the nation that we as police will not leave any stone unturned as we investigate this matter. We are giving it our all.”

The Keeper’s father, Sam Meyiwa, reportedly told newsmen he wanted the culprits arrested as soon as possible. he was quoted saying by the Souith African Press Association, while speaking at his house in Durban, “They [the police] must make sure they get these people who killed my son,” 

“I want them in jail. I want them in custody. I want to talk to them and ask them why they killed my son. It’s like they killed myself.” 

“I don’t know if I’m coming or going. My heart is broken. I’m just finished.” Sam Meyiwa said as was still trying to come to terms with his son's death.

The shooting on Sunday night came after a tumultuous week that saw former South African sporting hero Oscar Pistorius jailed for culpable homicide and athlete Mbulaeni Mulaudzi, a former world 800-metre champion, killed in a car crash.

It also highlighted a resurgence in violent crime in South Africa, which had appeared to be beating the problem when it successfully hosted the football World Cup in 2010. 

Official figures for April 2013 to March 2014 show the murder rate increased by 5%, attempted murder went up by 4.6%, aggravated robbery was up by 12.7%, and common robbery increased 0.6%. More than 17,000 people were murdered, an average of 47 per day.

Report says the Police have opened a multidisciplinary team investigation into the murder. 

No evidence revealed that Meyiwa was the target of a contract killing.

Meanwhile, the Police offered a reward of 250,000 rand (£14,000) for information about the three suspects.

Oscar Pistorius Sentenced To Five Years In Prison!

Oscar Pistorius was on Teusday sentenced to five years in prison for the manslaughter of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.

News revealed that Pistorius is expected to be taken to Kgosi Mampuru II prison, formerly Pretoria Central. It’s believed he will stay in the holding cell below the court until around 4pm South African time (3pm BST) before being moved by police convoy, along with other prisoners, to the jail.

Judge Masipa, who sentenced the athlete to an additional three years in prison, wholly suspended, for the second count of a firearm contravention; ruled a non-custodial sentence would send the wrong sentence to the community, but a long sentence would not be appropriate because it would appear to lack mercy.

Reacting to the sentence, Oscar Pistorius defense team said the law under which he was punished calls for him to serve only one-sixth of the prison term 10 months before he can be placed on house arrest. He was equally given a suspended three-year term on separate firearms charges.

Interpreting the terms of his imprisonment, some South African legal experts said the conversion of Mr. Pistorius prison time to house arrest was not automatic and required negotiations with the correctional authorities. After serving half the sentence, he can also apply for parole. 

Some members of the Steenkamp family June and Barry Steenkamp, who spoke to reporters as they left court said they were "satisfied and happy that justice has been done".
