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.

New York – Angola might contribute to train Somali troops, as part of the African Union (AU)’s effort towards the stabilisation of the situation in that country.
This was said Monday in New York by Angolan secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, George Chicoty.
Speaking to Angolan journalists covering the UN 65th General Assembly assessing the implementation of the millennium goals, George Chicoty said the position of Angola follows a request from the African Union for that purpose.
But he stressed that the defence of Somalia is, above all, a matter concerning the Somalis to which partners can make a contribution within their power.
The secretary of State was speaking on a meeting, set for Friday, with the president of the Somalia Federative Government, Sheick Sharif Ahmed, at the request of the latter. He stated that the training of Somali troops would be a contribution of Angola, within the AU peacekeeping effort.
Speaking on the peace in the continent, he said Angolan Government continues to be concerned about the lack of stability in some countries like Guinea-Bissau, Sudan and Somalia.
As to Guinea-Bissau, he said a concert is in progress with the involvement of the Portuguese Speaking Community (CPLP), the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the AU.
“We are all aware that the situation in Guinea is critical and all partners must work in a coordinated way. We have ECOWAS that is a very important partner and we will see how we can concert the steps we will set towards Guinea-Bissau and how we will implement it on the ground,” he said.
George Chicoty also stressed the need for a reform in the UN Security Council, which continues to be a motive for concern for Africa that complains about the lack of democracy from relevant decision making centres, as none of the African countries is represented in that organ of the United Nations.
He said that while admitting the Security Council’s position that Africa is going through a period of transition to stability, the continent wanted to be regarded by the international community as a serious partner that is making progress towards development, including in democracy.
To him, African rejects to be seen from an afro-pessimistic perspective as a corrupt continent, but from several indicators and progresses being scored.
On the other hand, he said Angola will also raise the matter of the US unilateral embargo on Cuba that, he added, must be lifted as it severely affects a large part of that Latin American country’s families.
