Boycott war "in elephant disease"
--------------
The Minister of Health of the African country of Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta), one of the poorest in the world, has announced that his office is embarking on "a war of boycott against the disease ELEPHNTIASIS". One third of the spread of the disease in the world is in Africa, with Burkina Faso at the top of the list of affected countries. The Minister of Health ALIN BEDOUMA YODA announced in the capital UAGADUGOU that as part of his commitment to eradicate the disease "fifteen thousand health workers will go to attack the 13 most infected districts, where the spread of the disease is at least 60% of the population" At the same time as the declaration of war, the minister addressed the health organization The World Health Organization (WHO) called to help its country, which has a population of 13 million, mainly through funding and necessary drugs such as IVEMECTIN or ALDENDAZOLE, which, according to the representative of the World Health Organization, "achieve a success rate of 99%." but not to cure the disease. A Belgian doctor, who visited the main distribution areas of the "Elephant Disease" said that the plays he saw, especially the disfigurement of the sick and the suffering of the victims, "reminiscent of a horror movie." ” and above all the testimony of “the sins of women who pass the disease on to innocent men” the Minister of Health and his assistants, aware of the difficult social image that haunts those who have been particularly severely affected, accompany the extermination effort with an effort... propaganda aimed not only at clarifying the importance of responding to drug dispensers, but also at convincing patients that traditional idol medicines , for example, a blood and mud smear "recommended" by one of the sorcerers - no benefit, but on the contrary creating additional health risks.

A combination of comfortable harsh weather with wind... a danger for drivers, a joy for event organizers
--------------------
Residents of Canada's Western Prairie provinces, mainly Manitoba and Saskatchewan, have so far enjoyed comfortable and relatively "warm" weather for the season. The average temperature, which at the beginning of January ranges "up and down on the minus Celsius scale" between 15 and 25 degrees, often reaches the level of 40 degrees Celsius below zero, embraced an unusual situation of between 5 degrees below zero and 5 above the "cold mark" Many declared that the weather - The air is simply a "gift from heaven" but the joy ended when strong winds arrived in the prairie areas with the addition of a moderate drop in temperature, especially during the hours of darkness and these "slid" from moist surfaces and melting snow that covered the roads and caused a phenomenon known as "black ice" the special name for a layer of transparent ice, difficult to distinguish which in a short time becomes, according to the forecasters and the transportation authorities, "a severe and dangerous blow" hundreds of vehicles, of all types, whose drivers did not notice the "black ice" ahead of time, slid into snowy fields, drainage channels, traffic islands and sometimes moved from lane to lane, causing serious accidents that were quickly stopped The joy of the comfortable weather. The newspapers of the affected districts, which after Christmas often published photographs of citizens enjoying the pleasant weather, were forced to switch to accident reports including photographs of stuck, sliding, overturned or crushed vehicles, including several vehicles of the rescue services and the police. One of the headlines, which appeared in the daily WINNIPEG FREE PRESS, defied "freezing roads, treacherous weather" The late appearance of the typical weather of the season, pleased at least the organizers of the annual winter festival, held in Winnipeg. The event, one of the largest of its kind in the world, celebrates the culture of the "Hamites" who have their ethnic roots in the French settlers and the Indians. The Pasitable is a salute to "Voyager's" VUAJEUR'S the riverboats that in the 19th century came from eastern Canada to Hudson Bay, all to bring supplies north and load furs purchased from hunters and trappers.

The maritime path of suffering of the Somali refugees
-----------------
A dilapidated wooden ship loaded with Somali refugees, which left Puntland, a Somali-retiring region, was on its way to Yemen, but due to an engine failure, it drifted into the depths of the Indian Sea with little drinking water and food in its hold. At the end of six days in which the captain and the three sailors were unable to repair the engine, the direction of the wind changed and the ship was pushed towards the coast. Fortunately for the passengers and crew, the ship was discovered by other vessels that towed it to the Aden area. The Yemeni police were called to the port, not only to check the identity of the refugees, a task usually reserved for the immigration services and the army, but to investigate the death of six of the passengers whose bodies were washed ashore. During the investigation, a difficult story emerged of refugees in serious physical condition and it turned out that at least twenty of them died during the voyage, including thirsty passengers who jumped into the sea and disappeared among the waves. A representative of the United Nations agency that handles refugees arriving in the countries of the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, as well as the Red Crescent Organization, said that the Yemeni captain decided to load only a little drinking water, because he did not take into account a deviation from a route close to the coast and preferred to cram in as many passengers as possible, instead of loading barrels of water. The UN officials said that every day at least a hundred Somali refugees arrive in Yemen and in the coastal waters of Somalia and Yemen there is a fleet of wooden ships, or dilapidated fishing vessels, known as the "scrap bridge" in question, a "fleet" mostly related to transporting refugees. In many cases it happened that ship captains forced passengers to jump into the sea and swim ashore and even threw passengers overboard when they were found a great distance from the destination port. At the end of 2005, dozens of bodies of drowned refugees washed up on the shores of Yemen, Djibouti and Somalia, including those who were beaten, robbed and then thrown into the sea. The main motive behind the latest wave of refugees is a severe famine affecting large areas of Africa. The UN's efforts to provide food to the refugees in the Somali camps are not going well mainly because of pirate attacks that since October 2005 have taken over two ships loaded with food purchased by the UN, while in early January bandits and Somali militiamen prevented a convoy of food trucks from passing through that was trying to reach Mogadishu from Mambosa in Kenya

The member of the municipal council demands to hire... "summer sniffers"
-------------------
Franco Magnifico, a member of the Winnipeg City Council, who represents Saint-Boniface, the French area of the city, is known for having original ideas. Magnifico, who is a shrewd hotelier and businessman, made headlines in recent days following a debate over a plan to build a slaughterhouse and a pork processing plant. The factory is going to be built close to St. Boniface and the residents say that they will oppose its construction because of the "danger of stench" which they believe will arise not only from the factory, but mainly from the holding apartments that will house thousands of pigs waiting to meet the butchers, as well as an unpleasant aroma that will be spread from the tow trucks, or the train cars that will transport the animals and pass through the neighborhood . Engineering data that this is not a danger to the quality of life, did not convince the council member who went to the province of Quebec in Eastern Canada and the state of Missouri in the USA, to learn from their experience in matters of human coexistence with pigs. One of the ideas that will be tested during the study tour is to employ "summer sniffers" who will estimate the degree of stench that permeates the residential area. The method was tested, for example, in the province of Alberta and proved to be effective. Proponents of the method say that sniffers with sensitive noses will be able to estimate the maximum distance that pig stench may travel from the barn into the residential neighborhood. Now the results of the journey are being awaited in Winnipeg, while in the meantime, as is customary in Canada, "for and against" type lobbies are being organized, professional union members interested in the development of the slaughterhouse and the dismantling plant are already being assisted by experts... stench who say that sanitation arrangements at the plant will meet all requirements to prevent "Whoa, what a stink!" While rival lobbies who say that this type of plant should be established "in the middle of nowhere" are aided by protest organizations that oppose what they call a "mass slaughter of pigs"

In Calgary a tragedy like "in an Egyptian movie" blood fire and horror
-------------
The case of adulterous lovers and a murder that happened in Calgary, stirs up the Arab and Muslim community of Canada, which is usually kept from over-revealing everything related to the relationship between him and her. The love part of the sad story is related to a married man and woman whose forbidden relationship led the husband, Abdel Aziz Elhayev, to hire the services of a pair of drug addicts, so that in the dead of night they would throw a Molotov cocktail into the kitchen of the house where his ex-wife Salima lived with their four-year-old Ali and her five-year-old sister Mahaya. Abdel Aziz accused the divorced woman of spreading rumors about malice about his lovers with juicy additions about his adulteries in general. The wave of gossip and rumours, which spread in Calgary like wildfire, led Abdel Aziz to take action on her behalf, sending the drug addicts on a scare mission that did not go well. The flames spread quickly and the children were trapped upstairs where they died. The drug addicts, Parhoum Kaza'er and Michel Shita's, testified that in return for their actions they received a payment of 60 dollars from Abdul Aziz which they spent on crack-cocaine that they purchased later that night. In the meantime, the drug addicts were sent to serve long prison sentences and in court they were accused of murdering Abdel Aziz and his lover Maher Hussain who, upon her arrest, was found to be in an advanced state of pregnancy. During the trial, the defendant claimed that while he was in custody, the prisoners learned of his intention to allegedly incriminate his lover, he was beaten to the point of losing consciousness so that he would change his mind. Judge Betty Hughes, who presided over the seven-week trial, including episodes of oriental drama accompanied by cursing, crying, shouting and promises of revenge, ultimately found Abdel Aziz guilty of responsibility for the murder while his lover was acquitted of all charges. As soon as the verdict was announced, Salima, the mother who lost her children, began to scream loudly and before being taken out of the courtroom threw herself on the floor in a situation described by a reporter from the Canadian news agency CANAIAN PRESS who was undoubtedly shocked "she threw herself on the floor with her head forward... only by a miracle she missed Corner of a heavy table" The crying mother, who was not convinced that the accused had no hand in the horrific crime organization, was removed from the court building, while the head of the special investigation team, Detective John Dukes, told reporters that he was satisfied with the verdict "because all those responsible for the murder will spend years in prison long until old age and more"

The king of Swaziland does not forgive his brother Hans
---------------
The 59-year-old Prince MBUYISA DLAMINI from Swaziland burst into sobs when a judge in the court of Mbabana MBABANA found the noble, half-brother of King Mustai III MUSATI guilty of brutally raping a nine-year-old minor. The judge changed the accused and sent him to serve seven years in prison with hard labor. The girl, the granddaughter of the prince's half-sister, was brutally attacked and raped, and according to the judge, she was "severely injured mentally and physically as a result of the nasty intrusion." The prince, who is one of the king's half-brothers and the eldest of them, claimed that his actions were due to a serious illness and taking obscuring drugs. The sentence was received in the kingdom with mixed feelings and it was assumed that the prince received a light punishment relative to the severity of the crime, because of his "blue blood" meanwhile the king refused to pardon his brother or lighten his sentence.
