| Pope Francis: there are limits to freedom of expression Posted: 15 Jan 2015 12:59 PM PST   "One cannot provoke, one cannot insult other people's faith, one cannot make fun of faith. There is a limit. Every religion has its dignity...in freedom of expression there are limits." He gestured to a friend and said "If my good friend Dr Gasparri says a curse word against my mother, he can expect a punch. It's normal. It's normal. You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others." |

| Graphic pics from one of the deadliest robbery incidents in Nigeria in recent times Posted: 15 Jan 2015 12:43 PM PST   The heavily armed robbers, who witnesses say were up to 25, came in four vehicles, and blocked roads leading to the commercial area. They attacked banks, commercial offices and shops and by the time they were done, many were dead. They indiscriminately killed people including four policemen who engaged them, people who were withdrawing money from the ATM, students returning from school, shop owners and passersby. The worst part is, there was a police station close to the banks so they must have felt safe. By the time the robbers finished and were making their escape, they killed five more people. Schools and banks closed the next day and the governor of the state paid a visit to the place yesterday. I have some really graphic pics from the incident. If you have the heart, then see it after the cut...       .jpg)      |

| State House report on GEJ's visit to Maiduguri Posted: 15 Jan 2015 11:35 AM PST  President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan undertook a surprise visit to Maiduguri Thursday on the occasion of Nigeria's Armed Forces Remembrance Day to meet with officers and men of the Armed Forces currently in the frontline of the war against terrorism and insurgency in the country. Accompanied by the Chief of Defence Staff, Service Chiefs, the National Security Adviser and the Director-General of the National Emergency Management Agency, President Jonathan visited officers and men of the 7 Division of the Nigerian Army at Maimalari Cantonment in Maiduguri to thank them for their patriotic and courageous service to the nation.  The President told officers and soldiers of the Division that the nation was very proud of them and grateful for their dedication and commitment to the defence of the civilian population against terrorists and violent extremists. President Jonathan also assured the troops that the Federal Government will continue to do everything possible to ensure that they get the weapons, equipment, welfare and logistics support they require to completely rout the insurgents and restore full security and normalcy to affected parts of the country. Describing the troops as a special breed of men who were undertaking a great assignment for their fatherland, the President assured them that all necessary action was being taken to address challenges facing them in their operations against Boko Haram. "In terms of equipment and logistics, we have already made considerable progress since the insurgency started and we will continue to improve in that regard until your operations are successfully concluded," he told the soldiers. President Jonathan also toured wards of the 7 Division Hospital and Medical Services Centre where he met with soldiers recovering from injuries sustained in operations against Boko Haram. He wished them speedy recovery. Before leaving the Borno State capital, President Jonathan visited over 900 displaced persons from Baga at a camp in the city. The President commiserated with the displaced persons on the losses they suffered during the attack on their town by Boko Haram. He promised them that the Federal Government will strive to make their stay in the camps more comfortable while it continues to do all within its powers to restore peace and security to enable them return to their homes soon. "Terrorism and insurgency have been very traumatic for all of us. I feel particularly disturbed when I hear of our people being displaced within their own country. "I assure you and other displaced persons that Government is working very hard to ensure that you do not remain in these camps for too long. "I know that many of your houses have been destroyed. We will assist you financially so that you can rebuild your homes and return to them gradually," President Jonathan told the displaced persons. The President thanked the Red Cross and other international organizations who have been assisting in the provision of relief materials to the displaced persons. He also charged local, state and federal government officials to work with greater harmony and cooperation in rendering support to the displaced persons. "I do not want to be hearing conflicting reports on support being given to them. Government is one and we must all work together to assist our people whenever the need arises. "We must cooperate maximally and work together at the local government, state and federal levels to ensure that our people who are unfortunately displaced from their homes get the best possible treatment," President Jonathan said.

| The execution that sickened even ISIS: Woman accused of adultery shot by Al Qaeda in Syria Posted: 15 Jan 2015 08:44 AM PST  Behind her, a militant declares that she has been convicted by an Islamic court of being an adulterer, condemning her for allegedly running a brothel. A gunmen then pulls out a pistol and shoots her in the head with a single shot as chants of Allahu Akbar - Arabic for God is greatest - ring out from the baying mob.  The video, which was posted on social media, has drawn condemnation even from rival Islamists, with one ISIS supporter asking 'which Sharia (Islamic law) is that???'. The footage, which has not been independently verified, appears to have been filmed by a jihadi fighter on a mobile phone, reportedly from Ma'arrat al-Numan in the north-western city of Idlib. In the video, a small crowd of masked fighters from Jabhat al-Nusra - an Al Qaeda affiliated group in Syria - gather near the city's main roundabout. Most of the men are carrying machine guns and are dressed in thick coats and military fatigues. The cameraman turns the camera to show the emptiness of the roads, with the traffic halted to allow the execution to be carried out in full public view. A woman, who activists have suggested is thought to be around 50 years old, is shown standing next to several fighters. Except for a red cardigan, the lady is seen wearing an all-black robe, covering down to her feet. She also wears a black hijab (headscarf) which tightly covers all her hair. Nearby a concrete wall, tagged in graffiti declares the area to be the stronghold of Jabhat al- Nusra (the Nusra Front). A bearded fighter, wearing body armour stands intimidating behind her, warding off anyone uninvited who gets too close to the woman. Culled from Daily Mail |
