Endangered minds of Niger's future generation - 18 Jul 08

Educating their children is the key to the future for Tuareg nomads who are losing their traditional way of life.

However, in Tazerzait, a remote area of northern Niger, the only school was seized by the army and turned into a barracks to fight the Tuareg rebellion.

Niger's civil war is damaging its children, and destroying the potential of the country as a whole.

Al Jazeera's May Welsh reports from northern Niger on the endangered minds of the Sahara's future.

Take communism... and we know the outcome in the form of Stalin, Mao and North Korea....take capitalism and we know the exploitation of almost all of Africa.... Its unbeliveable that such beautiful countries and rich in all the natural resources have to suffer so badly...humanity has gone offtrack for sure....the idea of PROFIT economics above all, is going to RUIN on all of us for sure...because we all are part of that profit economics one way or the other....

If Mohammed was a child molester it is not insulting to say so. If he was a slaver it is not insulting to say so. If he was a robber it is not insulting to say so. If slavery, domestic violence, child marriage, rape, incest and female genital mutilation are not even crimes in Sharia, it not insulting to say so. Let us hear from those who’s testimony in Islam is worthless. Let us expose Islam’s beneficiaries for the monsters that they are and the crimes they hide.

Al Jazeera is giving the BBC a run for their money.  No American network is doing a damn thing to bring unbiased news of the world to their citizens.
