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 – Fresh investigations are needed to expose police officers and militiamen who raped women in the 2007 post-election violence.
Key speakers at function to launch the State of World Population 2010 report expressed fears that ongoing investigations meant to trace key masterminds of the violence may spare people who executed sexual offences, including youths and neighbours.
They called for an independent local arrangement, parallel to the International Criminal Court procedures, to deal with culprits of rape and put in place mechanisms of dealing with such vice.
UNFPA assistant country representative Cecilia Kimemia called on the government to implement the Waki report on post-election violence’s recommendations on rape.
She suggested that the troubled Truth Justice and Reconciliation Commission expose men who raped women during the post-election violence and propose a healing process. “We hope the report’s recommendations will not be ignored,” she said.
Her remarks were supported by University of Nairobi lecturer Ben Obonyo who regretted that offenders of rape during the post election violence may never be punished.
“We know the ongoing ICC is focusing on two or three key people,” said the Population and Research studies lecturer.
The UNFPA country representative Fidelis Zama, speaking at the function held at Silver Springs hotel, said women bore the brunt of violence, including being subjected to rape.
According to the Waki commission, reports of sexual violence were a “horror that destroyed victims’ lives”. “What began as one horror and one loss was quickly compounded into many,” it said.
The commission established that sexual violence acts took place in Nairobi, Naivasha, Nakuru, Eldoret, Mombasa and Kisumu.
In some cases neighbours, relatives, supposed friends, and individuals working in IDP camps also executed the sexual violence.
