WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Nairobi – The United Nations’ food agency said on Thursday that it needed guarantees on its employees’ security in Somalia, hinting it could soon halt deliveries in some areas.
Four World Food Programme (WFP) employees have been killed in the war-torn Horn of Africa country since August last year, two of them this month.
“We will not stop food distribution yet. We will distribute all the food that we currently have inside Somalia or on its way there,” WFP chief Peter Goosens said at a press conference in Nairobi.
The WFP said it was in the process of delivering 57 000 tons of food in southern and central Somalia, enough to feed more than two million people for one to two months.
“That is basically it, until and unless, and by area, and by community, and that’s going to be a huge exercise, we get positive assurances from the population, the authorities, whoever would be in control of such areas that our staff can safely function in these areas,” he added.
“And then we will re-engage in those areas. But if we don’t get those assurances, we will not,” Goosens said.
According to the United Nations, 3.25 million Somalis – close to half the country’s population – need humanitarian assistance.
On January 6, masked gunmen shot down a 44-year-old Somali working for the WFP as he monitored a school feeding programme in the Gedo region.
Two days later, gunmen shot dead a 49-year-old Somali supervising food distribution in a camp for displaced people in north-western Somalia.
Somalia has been without an effective central government since the 1991 ousting of president Mohamed Siad Barre. – Sapa-AFP
