#3. GIVE US THE CHILDHOOD

We came to celebrate eid with you
We're asking you about the eid
Why we don't have eid or decoration?
Oh world
Our lands are infected with fire
Our free lands are stolen
Our skies are dreaming and asking the days
Our lands are stolen
Our land is small like me, young!
Give us the peace
And give us the childhood.
                                             Aatona Attofola.
The above will be familiar mostly to the Arab world. For so long children have been made to partake in wars they know nothing of, the little ones becoming a victim of the horrific moments caused by our so called selfish, self centered leaders, becoming a casualty of wars based on vengeance, greediness, racism etc.
There are days when I'm unable to sleep, and lay confidently on my pouch, knowing there re children out there on the streets, under bridges, in the dumps or out there in the forest, desert and so on. Who can't even get a good hour rest and yet we lay peacefully on our beds believing its none of our concern. Well, I tell you evil has a good way of growing and spreading very fast if not quench immediately. We are one, either black or white, christian or Muslim, western or northern, we remain one and together we can help a million children out there. They shouldn't be allowed to witness the horror the sky that ones poured peace, rains on our Land.
Pass this on and support a child and make the world a better place for the children for they are the future of the world.
Our Prayers are with you Children of war victims around the globe...
Be strong and bold, for you all we will create movement stronger than the wars and together we will leave the world better than we met it.

South Korean President Park Geun-hye arrested

Former South Korean President Park Geun-hye , who was removed from office earlier this month, was arrested on Friday. "Major crimes have been ascertained and there is a concern that the suspect might attempt to destroy evidence," Judge Kang Bu-young said in a text message to reporters. "The court recognizes the need, necessity and reasonableness of the suspect's arrest." Prosecutors announced Monday that they were seeking to arrest Park on charges relating to abuse of power, accepting bribes and leaking important information. "The suspect abused the mighty power and position as President to take bribes from companies and infringed upon the freedom of corporate management and leaked important confidential official information," the statement from the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office said. Park had been held in a temporary detention facility at the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office Building ahead of the court's decision. S...

Google apologises after ads appear next to extremist content

Google's European boss has apologized after adverts from major firms and government agencies appeared next to extremist content on its YouTube site. It came after Marks and Spencer became the latest firm to pull its online ads over the issue, joining others such as Audi, RBS and L'Oreal. Google's European chief, Matthew Brittin, promised to review the firm's policies and strengthen enforcement. But some questioned the company's commitment to tackling the issue. A recent investigation by the Times found adverts from a range of well-known firms and organisations had appeared alongside content from supporters of extremist groups on YouTube's video site. An advert appearing alongside a video earns the poster about £6 for every 1,000 clicks it generates, meaning brands may have unwittingly contributed money to extremists. The Times said that rape apologists, anti-Semites and hate preachers were among those receiving payouts. Analysis: Rory Cellan-Jones, BBC technolog...
