[maman1346]

and now france is so wory for libyan people and wants to save them ! what a joke

[skulldrix]

This is dumb. Wtf. Capitalist greedy bastards!

[anapao89]

This is all cuz of money nothing else! people, governments or whatever else don't care about shit but what goes in their pocket. So don't ask for help from UN or w/e they don't really care, people are left to help themselves! and animals are left for suffering (which they have no fault for) they pay for all our greed!!! the world will come to an end soon. We are all contributing into the death of millions and introducing more anger and thirst for power!

[madchemist5926]

Don't blame the UK or France? Seriously? The British and French caused massive ethnic outbreaks thoughout the continent both directly and indirectly as a result of their colonial influence (Rwanda, Darfur anyone?). My own country (USA) has blood on their hands as well even under our current president. Hold your countries accountable people, Africa didn't magically turn to sh*t overnight.

[anapao89]

@madchemist5926 True!! nobody cares about anybody anymore!! as I said they only care about how to get money the easiest!! I hate how big, powerful countries (Europe, USA etc) always say their helping humanity when they are destroying it and many are taken advantage of !!!

[stpsalm]

hmmm! God help em remember they are still your people

[meleszenawi1111]

VraiDiouf are you serious about mali today it is a full democracy and despite what you think is posting impressive growth rates in gdp and gdp per capita I lived in Mali and all over africa and it is a place where there is real democracy don't believe me read freedom house human rights watch oh by the way until Tandja pulled his electon stunt he was the first leader where the economy was growing all of you look at africa and say the governments are bad yet most have never been or learn about th

[VraiDiouf]

@meleszenawi1111 many gouvernment say they are democracy, I do not believe you live in Mali. Nigeria say they are democracy what have they done for their people? There are many group of people in Mali and Niger (mainly my group (Fulani) and the Touareg who struggle without water. They just now try to put more wells in many part of Niger and Mali. Nomads are ignored for most part in West Africa.

[infinitehumanstupid]

Who knows what companies do? Its about profits... few people here and there don't matter to corporations. Remember that the government of Niger is in on this, they are also very corrupt. Niger is also one of the poorest countries in the world... why... you need to read a book to understand. But colonialism and exploitation hindered development... also corruption, and neo-colonialism what mineral mining pretty much is...

But Paris Hilton is much more important that real problems.

[MrBLAKK88]

EUROPE MUST BURN

[anapao89]

@MrBLAKK88 Not really. People are just filled with greed and evil; and seeing ur comment ur a perfect example of it!! Every powerful country is contributing to this, cuz they only think about money!!

[VraiDiouf]

We can not blame the West or white people for this. A lot of it is our fault in the West African region. Look at Nigeria for example with their "President" Omaru Yar'Adua what has he done to help the people? Look at Tanja Mamadou of Niger what has he done for the people? look at Touré of Mali what has he done? We need to assess ourselves first. Only Senegal and Ghana are doing great things right now. Why can't we?

[anapao89]

@VraiDiouf hahaha!! Its true many of this governments do care about their people, but the "west or white" still take advantage of the situation of the people and country instead of helping!! they have been sugar coating their actions with the UN and shit! The hurt made by large companies have made far more damage than what the UN or any other org. has done!

[VraiDiouf]

@anapao89 the French did play a role in Niger/Mali but that was half century ago. Yes, the French did awful job, but we can still progress if we have a good leadership.

[anapao89]

@VraiDiouf well don't know how the story goes, the fact is that everybody is at fault equally. People should stand for their rights!!

[anapao89]

@VraiDiouf sorry it was "don't care" lol

[VraiDiouf]

Blame Tanja Mamadou dictateur of Niger. Our people of Niger are great and beautiful but le gouvernment est corrumpu.

[zahia26]

I agree with everything already stated! Right on!

[lilrog0909]

This is why I approve Mass immigration into Europe... Especially the U.K. & France!!!! They done the most damage to Africa so fuck it lets invade them!!! NOW

[malfini1]

I second the notion!! Follow your resources!

[exorbi2020]

@lilrog0909 don't blame uk or france because when they were in africa, africa was at its best until they left then africa start going down hill. so blame the green snake under the green grass the Arabs. they pretend they like africa but they destroyed africa, look at samalia, muratenia,nigeria,ethopia so on. I blame africa the most because we destroy our self to begin with.

[preadamite1]

This depraved, vicious cave breed called the white race will never leave africa alone will they? They ravage africas natural resources and then blame africans for their poverty! ANd most people in the western hemisphere, being dupes and brainwashed ignoramuses with not even a smattering of geopolitical understanding, will condemn african for this turmoil. Of course the govts in africa are proxie govts put in power by the cracker to protect their corporate interests

[thinazzabird]

maybe a gilbert and sullivan musical would do the trick

[preadamite1]

ANd what makes it so damn infuriating is the media machine in the white parts of the world i.e, France, Britian, Germany, U.S. and Canada, etc never tell you the story behind the story. They show you impoverished people in africa but never show you the underlying cause of their penury because the white imperialists ARE THE CAUSE. They portray it in their media as if africans simply cant educate and nourish themselves. They install their puppet govts all over africa and latin america.

[preadamite1]

Just goes to show you that the same dissolute, souless, zombie, pale, untamed breed who invaded africa, went on a murdering spree in africa, colonized africa, set up aparthied in africa and pillaged and fleeced africas mineral wealth and confiscated africas land all while hanging, burning, raping, disenfranchising blacks abroad, are STILL looting and exploiting africa. Theyve given it a facelift though. This new colonialism is so effective because it has black faces on it.

[nordicpower88]

All this for Uranium.... do we really even need uranium? I think not...

[magepker728]

we need to get ride of thr stupid french people. those bastards are making everything worst... almost all our weath 50% of it goes to france i blame it on our stupid president of niger.......... get a life tanja mamadou... on n'a d'un nouneau president.. les touareg son des nigerien pourquoi les detester?

[shaibear]

I completly agree I have a strong distaste for the french

[anapao89]

@shaibear are u american? why don't u like the french?!

[shaibear]

@anapao89 nope Canadian and it's not nessiarily the french in general it's just the language, I find it one of the most unattractive and in Canada u have 2 learn the language in school... which makes long hours of me sitting there bored as hell

[anapao89]

@shaibear well.. that's very selfish of u. Later in life I hope u realize that the more languages u know, the more ur worth! (in getting jobs and stuff) so don't look at this as a "boring experience" and take advantage of it, u never know in what kind of situation u would end up that u'll be force to use that language.

[somalisoulja87]

that is the problem with western people they do fuck up thing to people and if those people react they will be call terroest

[lordofthesting]

YEAH, SHIT HAPPENS, AND WE ALL NEED TO COPE WITH IT... Lets rid the world of shit and BAM! We're free from reverse politics.

[Shilastyle]

What has our world come to?

[shasanni]

this is my tribe =(

i can only pray for them

but the last thing we need is another tuareg rebellion the tuareg name has already been spoiled due to the past rebellions. now in mali and niger we r known as drug dealers and trouble makers

very difficult situation.....

[assanisto]

they all fuckers

[Omer698]

stupid Janubi

[youda0basta]

AREVA make big water pollution in 2 places in france, wath about sahara niger???!

[mashriqie]

Create an economic cirsis is poor countries and lend them money on high percentage of interest, in return exploit their natural resources. who gives a damn care about suffering of people as long as IMF and World bank secure the interests of blood sucking Multinational Corporations.

[Bunnyontherocks]

A HOSPITAL OFF LIMITS?! What the hell is wrong with those money sucking pigs?! They can at least give those poor people help since they are taking THEIR wealth from them.I have to agree with mightym1, the media here in the United States only shows what benefits them; perhaps those humanitarians haven't heard anything because of lack of international reports our media broadcasts. (But I hope something is done as soon as possible.)

[mightym1]

It's a sad commentary on the state of our media when al Jazeera is reporting REAL, meaningful stories in contrast to the tabloid journalism we get from our network news stations.

[0engima0]

Please don't get me wrong, I thought the title was "Nigger's natural..." phew it was not what i expected it to be.

[foititis]

Where is France's high moral ground now?

[nohealthcare62]

Pray for these people .Where is the UN ???Where are all the HUMANITARIANS ? Someone is stealing and commiting Murder and getting away with it .Where is the UN ???Where are the Christians ?

[Omer698]

they're too busy with Darfur

[johntabbot]

U.N.'s existence is not helpful. If there is to be change, it will only come from the regular people on the ground

[xenzuva]

They can thank Nicholas Sarkozy, Chirac, and all the Vatican for their support of this massacre. The colonialists don't want the uranium or the money, they just want to destroy the land and the people- an act of genocide.

[alethiaface]

thats terrible
