This chapter provides a general introduction to the book, which documents the April 2011 genocide against Muslims in Southern Kaduna, Nigeria. It describes Southern Kaduna as a plural community with over 30 ethnic groups and a religious population that is 40% Muslim and 60% Christian. It notes that Muslims have faced systematic discrimination and violence aimed at decimating their population, including major attacks in 1981 and the 2011 post-election violence that is the focus of the book. The chapter argues that categorizing Christians as indigenous and Muslims as settlers has been used to deny Muslims their rights in the region.

Democracy and Human Rights in the Gulf: Can they be achieved? (1995)John Lubbock
This document discusses democracy and human rights in the Gulf region. It argues that multi-party democracy may not always be the best system and could exacerbate divisions in some societies. Electoral systems that foster cooperation may better promote human rights and minority rights. While the Gulf states claim to have consultative bodies, real power remains concentrated among ruling families. Increased access to information is empowering human rights activists and calls for political reform will likely increase. Western strategic and commercial interests have discouraged candor on poor human rights records in the region.
Our ancestors came to America for freedom and established a system of government with liberties that had never been seen before. Throughout history, the United States has fought many wars to protect these freedoms for citizens. Learning from the past shows that war may be inevitable as countries will always have differing beliefs and ambitions that could threaten others' freedom. However, the US has maintained its independence for over 300 years by defending its values on foreign soils. Passing on an understanding of this history is key to appreciating all the sacrifices that have allowed future generations to enjoy life in a free country.

Timeless Aketi - Tribute to Arakunrin OluwaRotimi AkeredoluKayode Fayemi
Bisi and I attended the Service of Songs and Night of Tributes held in honour of our dear friend and former Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin OluwaRotimi Akeredolu. Aketi was exceptional – a sagely intellectual, a dogged lawyer and activist, and a patriotic nation builder. He was one of the most iconic leaders in our region and country before succumbing to his last fight.
Many will fondly remember him as an irrepressible defender of the defenceless and a loud, often undiplomatic voice of the voiceless. As Chairman of the South West Governors Forum, he led from the front in the establishment of the Western Security Network - popularly known as Amotekun. As a patriot and a nationalist, he never lost sight of our common goal - the quest for public good and the building of a prosperous, united, safe, and secure nation.
However, the unanswered question lingers: how can death snatch such a person so full of life from the uncompleted work of national rebirth and renewal? I’ve asked myself the same question repeatedly because every death diminishes us. We all wish Aketi were here with us, but we take solace in the memories we shared, the kindness and wisdom he shared with all and sundry, the service he rendered to the good people of Ondo State, and the necessary battles he fought on behalf of a better Nigeria.
Nigeria has been shortchanged by the loss of this consistent advocate of justice, fairness, and equity. But the struggle must continue, as he would have wanted. Our nation has lost a gem; indeed, one of the brightest in our firmament – I have lost my friend.
Adieu Aketi. Goodnight!
This document discusses Nigeria's political history and challenges since independence, highlighting issues of corruption, ethnic tensions, and the marginalization of minority groups. It analyzes how the country has moved from an initial period of unity and development among regional governments to one plagued by military coups, a civil war, and decades of misrule that have undermined trust between groups and fueled unrest, as exemplified by movements in the Niger Delta seeking greater autonomy and control over oil resources. While early post-independence leaders invested in infrastructure, more recent politicians have primarily served narrow interests, with ordinary Nigerians suffering the consequences of poor governance.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

RE-EMPHASIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF JUNE 4TH UPRISING COMMEMORATION; DISPELLING THE MISCONCEPTIONS

For immediate release
RE-EMPHASIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF JUNE 4TH UPRISING COMMEMORATION;
DISPELLING THE MISCONCEPTIONS
On this special occasion of the June 4th uprising commemoration, the United Cadres
Front (UCF) Volta, wishes to reiterate the importance of this day in our current
democratic dispensation. The struggle for a better Ghana started and dates way back
before independence in 1957. Many heroes and brave men willingly gave up their
personal freedom, families and even their lives to win that struggle. The bloods of the
brave-hearted forebearers were shed as if they are of no significance, yet the many that
came after them remained not deterred. Their intrinsic firm resolve to see Ghana work
was their inspiration to endure all manner of persecution without retreat. Several
attempts were made at achieving those dreams and though some failed in their quest,
others pursued it to a successful end.
The June 4th uprising was one of such famous moments of successful attempts to
secure a better future for Ghana and generations yet to be born. Prior to this event,
Ghana under the military administration of W. K. Akuffo was plagued with scandals,
systemic corruption, financial and social indiscipline, bad governance, and growing
insecurity. A situation where there was no equity in the distribution of the resources of
the sovereign people of Ghana. Things were falling apart and needed an immediate
remedy. On June 4th 1979, the brave-hearted Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings of blessed
memory(may his gentle soul soldier on), for God and country led an uprising to secure
the country for all manner of persons from the hands of the nation wreckers who failed
to uphold the toils and bloods of their ancestors. He damned all consequences and the
highly dangerous nature of this mission of salvaging Ghana.
The Armed Forces Revolution Council (AFRC) under the leadership of Chairman
Rawlings administered the country for only 3 months and handed over in September to
Dr. Hila Liman of the People's National Party (PNP). Unfortunately, the PNP
administration failed to adhere to the core principles of probity and accountability
hence the 31st December uprising.
Some excesses due to the acts of some ill-informed and uncommitted disgruntled
soldiers were recorded though under the AFRC administration. However, the uprising in
its totality gave a new hope and life where law and order was restored and the Kwame

2. Nkrumah dream of patriotism and equity came back to life once again. The birth of
Cadre organs like the June 4th Movement, Committee for the Defense of the
Revolution (CDR), Green Book Club, Civil Defence Organisation (CDO), Workers Defence
Committee (WDC) and also the 31st December Women Movement, Democratic Youth
League of Ghana (DYLG)/Edikanfo Movement and others which played a pivotal role in
instilling a sense of undiluted patriotism and discipline across all age groups gave
hope to the future of Ghana.
Chairman Rawlings survived several attempts on his life and family and peacefully
transitioned into a democratic governance that gave birth to the fourth republic in 1992
and still thrives till today.
Fast forward this day, what do we see? Ghana is heading back to the ditch as in the
dark days. Corruption has engulfed every institution and even to the presidency of our
dear nation as evident in the numerous daily scandals that continue to plague us.
There is a sharp decline in regards to the rule of law. Independent institutions are now
being interfered with and controlled by elements in government. There is no more
social justice and equity as the poor are made poorer and a few closer to power are
made richer by deliberate bad governance policies. Discipline has fallen to its lowest
across all age groups and patriotism has been thrown to the dogs. Partisan politics
have overshadowed our sense of patriotism and is now the fastest way of amassing
wealth instead of serving the people. Was this what our forefathers fought selflessly
for? Was this what they willingly gave their lives?
It is said that, one cannot get to his desired destination without taking a
retrospective account of the journey and progress made at each point in time. We as
members of the United Cadres Front(UCF), wish to set the record straight that many of
these corrupt politicians were nowhere to be found when the drum of bravery was
beaten. We saw it all and have seen the sharp decline in the progress of our dear Ghana.
For this reason, we wish to remind ourselves of the struggles to make Ghana a better
one and the need for all to uphold discipline and patriotism over selfishness and
eschew corruption through this year's June 4th commemoration. On this day, we also
intend to honour the toils and the blood of our forebearers who fought with their lives
to bring us this far for their stories would be told to the generations unborn.
We salute all seasoned Cadres of the land and pay a glowing tribute to all Cadres
who are no more with us here today...(may their souls have eternal rest), as we uphold
the tenets of the revolution which are probity, accountability and transparency.
Finally, we welcome our very owns, Flagbearer John Dramani Mahama, Chairman
general Asiedu Nketia, General secretary Fiifi Fiavi Kwetey, Hon. Zanetor Rawlings and
the entire rank and file of the NDC into the region for this all-important occasion.
The Revolution has a long way to go but has come to stay. Revo, Revo!
Long live Ghana
Long live the NDC
3. Long live the United Cadres Front.
Long live the revolution!
No retreat, No surrender!
