check out d link urself. This is from Associated Press.

Pope Francis on Monday said efforts to stop Islamic militants from attacking religious minorities in Iraq are legitimate but said the international community — and not just one country — should decide how to intervene.

Francis was asked if he approved of the unilateral U.S. airstrikes on militants of the Islamic State group, who have captured swaths of northern and western Iraq and northeastern Syria and have forced minority Christians and others to either convert to Islam or flee their homes.

"In these cases, where there is an unjust aggression, I can only say that it is licit to stop the unjust aggressor," Francis said. "I underscore the verb 'stop.' I'm not saying 'bomb' or 'make war,' just 'stop.' And the means that can be used to stop them must be evaluated."

Francis also said he and his advisers were considering whether he might go to northern Iraq himself to show solidarity with persecuted Christians. But he said he was holding off for now on a decision.

The pope's comments were significant because the Vatican has vehemently opposed any military intervention in recent years. Pope Paul VI famously uttered the words "War never again, never again war" at the United Nations in 1965 as the Vietnam War raged, a refrain that has been repeated by every pope since. St. John Paul II actively tried to head off the Iraq war on the grounds that a "preventive" war couldn't be justified. He repeatedly called for negotiations to resolve the crisis over Iraq's invasion of Kuwait a decade prior.

Francis himself staged a global prayer and fast for peace when the U.S. was threatening airstrikes on Syria last year.

But in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks — in the Vatican's mind an "unjust aggression" — John Paul defended the "legitimate fight against terrorism," and the right of nations to defend themselves against terrorist attacks. He did though call for restraint and the Vatican subsequently focused its position on emphasizing the need to eradicate the root causes of terrorism: poverty and oppression.

Recently, the Vatican has been increasingly showing support for military intervention in Iraq, given that Christians are being directly targeted because of their faith and that Christian communities, which have existed for 2,000 years, have been emptied as a result of the extremists' onslaught.

The U.S. began launching airstrikes against IS fighters on Aug. 8, allowing Kurdish forces to fend off an advance on their regional capital of Irbil and to help tens of thousands of religious minorities escape.

This a first for the Vicar of the Son of God calling for armed intervention in modern history.

odinma1: All I know is that Ojukwu was a useless and selfish coward. He sacrificed the lives of million of my Igbo people for his selfish ambitions.

He was a dishonourable man. I like his wife though Bianca- Chaii Yellow pawpaw, even at her age, her boobies are still standing upright- delicious woman. As far as I know, that was the only accomplishment in Ojukwu's life.

Why can't they expose they party. And probe them? Even in the DSS there is fear of exposing evil perpetrators. This is too bad. Why such a press briefing to warn ghost party ? EXPOSE THEM! and let's move forward.

its not as easy as you think. They normally offer such bribes thru proxy. U have a sense of who is offering d bribe but u cant accuse them because they didnt approach u directly.

Jaymaestro: Dad : Ekiti
Mama : Anambra [ understands Yoruba like a true indigene to an extent she now has trouble keeping up with her mom when she speaks Igbo]
Maternal Grandma hated Yorubas but realised my dad's a betta suitor compared to his Igbo counterparts
maternal Grandpa : Best Igbo I have ever known
I : mixed psychological physically and linguistically .

am quite sure you didnt get ur pettiness from him.

emlilshady: is it true that some names are out on the punch news paper, page 68-71?

d DSS can never and will never publicly disclose d names of its prospective agents.

Btw...why did u ignore my previous post...are we quarelling??

emlilshady: shout out to all those I'd meet in camp, look for 'coolbreeze ' or 'snake doctor ' or shadow walker.

hey bro...u must be the thread prefect by now....what did I miss pls??

dvee2:

Look at you,there is no corruption in Nigeria. Ordinary stealing you call it corrupting.

yeah u can also call it "borrowing without permission"

I held the hands of countless individuals as this terrible disease took their lives away from them. I witnessed the horror first-hand, and I can still remember every face and name.

If not for this man, we wuld probably never hear of d drug ZMapp. Its safe to say dat he may have intentionally infected himself touching the victims to force his country to try save his life and consequently d lives of future victims.

Kudos to him for his faith.

Note to self: it pays to come from a country that cares deeply for her citizens.

Airforce1: Which kind style she pose so?

lol its called d billionaire's daughter style

AmericanQueen: The World Champion of Gymnastics...African American girls are TAKING OVER Gymnastics !!!

Slay Queen Simone Biles.........

one wonders where they got those genes from...oh wait....its from Africa!

african-american, afro-carribean, afro-anything....wat they have in common??.....Africa!

Mind ur title nexy tym!

At this very moment, this country is not worth dying for.

If these soldiers protest, they would be court-martialled, shuld they abandon their duties, a heavier punishment awaits them. The only option available is to go fight a heavily-armed enemy with inferior weapons; not dat the country is poor and cannot afford better weapons but because of corruption and uncaring attitude by those at d helm.

I feel the pain of these women. This is d much they can do to try change the situation.

One wonders what EXACTLY d billions of dollars spent on fighting the insurgency is used for.

Danhumprey:
Have Sahara reporters ever praise the effort of our troop,no matter how small? Have they?

is it part of their job description??

Looks to me Boko Haram made a tactical withdrawal. Dont be surprised to hear "Nigerian Troops Recapture Damboa....Again".

pro01:

This instance is not an example of guerilla warfare in any way. An organised terror unit has taken over a whole town, and are fully and openly repelling federal troops attempting to retake the town. That is hardly a hide-n-seek arrangement. It is full-blown, frontal war. The excuses being made by the military about Boko Haram's so-called guerrilla tactics are increasingly untenable.

guerilla warfare is characterized by unconventional tactics including suicide bombing, surprise ambush attacks, etc

boko haram adopts dis tactics because they cant face d Nigerian Army in a full frontal attack. Moreover they dont have d resources the army has like warplanes, tanks, etc. They depend strongly on d element of surprise. Those examples i gave are classic cases. Boko haram is adopting d same tactics of Hamas, Hezbollah, AlShabab, etc

Another name for guerilla warfare is assymetric warfare. Read it up.

Like I said before, unless its politics in play, these militants are not goin away any sooner.

What is too hard to comprehend here?? Igbos started using the word 'Oyibo' long before there was anytin called Nigeria, long before they had any meaningful interaction with yorubas. 'Oyibo' is used fondly by Igbos when referring to fair-skinned people unlike d yoruba's 'Oyinbo' with derogatory undertone.

This confusion is all down to some sort of similar syntax.

Due to media censorship, we may neva know just how our 'illustrious' army is faring against these militants.

Guerilla warfare is one of the most energy-sapping, morale-sagging, money-draining system of warfare in the history of mankind. E.g; America v Taliban/AlQaeda, Israel v Hamas/Hezbollah, Ethiopia/Kenya v AlShabab, Iraq/Syria v Islamic State and now Nigeria v Boko Haram.

Lets prepare in advance to hear that billions of dollars have been spent to fight Boko Haram without a decisive victory.

Waspy: Emeka pls review your history books

i suggest u read more history books...clearly d ones u have are missing many pages.

Hint: "old calabar"

Nice development. Its now up to d Govt to fast-track d acquisition of this drug.

Waspy: Yorubas or Bini as they were earlier contacts with the white.

how exactly did u come up with dat? or is it one of ur many assumptions?

Karen and Ian Gilbert are the proud parents of one-year-old triplets, Ffion, Maddison and Paige. For a while they were also the very confused parents of the three baby girls who are so identical in appearance that they had mom and dad stumped as to who was who.



But the Gilberts found a way around the issue by color coding the girls’ toenails, with a different color of nail polish for each: Ffion wears fuschia polish, Maddison has mint green, and Paige wears purple. Each baby has the first letter of her name matching the first letter of the color.

The mom made sure to clarify this is not a fashion statement and really was a method to tell the children apart until they get a little older and hopefully develop different looks and personalities.

“It makes life a lot easier when it comes to our daily routine of feeding, bathing and nappy changing” the South Wales mom said. “The color coding helps us to know who has had what.”

Seems like the parents can use all the help they can get. The family goes through more than 120 diaper changes and 84 bottles of formula milk on a weekly basis!

On top of that, the one-year-olds are already mini celebs as they’ve got an acting gig on two British television shows, where the three play the same baby.

The parents have their hands full, but it seems they wouldn’t have it any other way. Karen says, “They are lovely little girls who have already brought us so much joy – in triplicate.”
