Foreign Affairs / The Snitch: American CIA Operative Gave Mandela Up For Arrest In 1962 by knightsson: 10:58am On May 16, 2016 |
[b]Nelson Mandela's arrest in 1962 came as a result of a tip- off from an agent of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), a report says. The revelations, made in the Sunday Times newspaper, are based on an interview with ex-CIA agent Donald Rickard shortly before he died. Mr. Mandela served 27 years in jail for resisting white minority rule before being released in 1990. He was subsequently elected as South Africa's first black president. The interview appears to confirm long-held suspicions that Mr. Mandela was being trailed by the CIA, says the BBC's Karen Allen in Johannesburg. It is expected to put pressure on the CIA to release documents about its involvement in Mr. Mandela's arrest and support for the apartheid government, although it has resisted previous calls for their disclosure. A fake passport in the name of David Motsamayi used by Mr. Mandela Mr. Rickard, who died earlier this year, was never formally associated with the CIA but worked as a diplomat in South Africa before retiring in the late 70s. The interview was conducted by British film director John Irvin, who has made a film about Mr. Mandela's brief career as an armed rebel, the Sunday Times said. The future president led the armed resistance movement of the banned African National Congress (ANC) and was one of the most wanted men in South Africa at the time of his arrest. Mr. Mandela was considered a dangerous communist and a threat to the West, our correspondent says, although he always denied ever being a member of the communist party. His ability to evade the security services had earned him the nickname "the Black Pimpernel". He was posing as a chauffeur when his car was stopped at a roadblock by the police in the eastern city of Durban in 1962, and he was detained. 'Embarrassing' Mr. Mandela, President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999, was on a US terror watch list until 2008. Before that, along with other former ANC leaders, he was only able to visit the US with special permission from the secretary of state, because the ANC had been designated a terrorist organisation by the former apartheid government.

President Ronald Reagan had originally placed the ANC on the list in the 1980s. http://www..com/talk/topic,294971.0.html [/b]

Romance / Re: When A Girl Keeps Changing Boyfriends Like Clothes by knightsson: 11:41pm On Apr 28, 2016 |
hmmmmm but I personally think, first, their parents should be blame. parents of nowadays won't bother caring for their female children even when not upto 18yrs when the whole world knows these girls has things nature has bestowed on them to buy with money. And if these happens, they would be left with no option other than going outside to look for boyfriends that would foot these bills and in return they offer these guys their puss¡es. Imagine a 15-17yrs old girl whom is still supposed to be under her parents being abandoned by these parents, with no money to buy bra, panties, pad, etc. Life I must admit isn't easy and fair for majority of our female folks.
