A Crash On The Border Of Iran

RQ170 Sentinel drone in flight non human piloted.

     There was recently a crash on the border of Iran. There are two different opinions. One opinion is that the United States was trying to sent the RQ170 Sentinel drone to spy on Iran then shot down according to Iran.But the United States says that they sent the non human piloted aircraft to Afghanistan and by accident it crashed over the border.It is unclear who is telling the truth but we know that the United States have solders in Afghanistan so we can understand that but also Iran said that they saw it and a spy aircraft has to spy on something so they shot it down so that might also be true.Now the RQ170 Sentinel drone is in Iran captivity and they could use the technology to make their own spy plane.In conclusion,this is connected to class because when Pakistan and India were fighting each other for power  nobody wanted to be wrong because it will make their government look bad just like now with United States and Iran.

UN Security Council toughens sanctions on Eritrea

This the group of terrorists that Eritrea is being accused of supporting.

After being accused of supporting terrorist groups in Somalia the UN Security Council put sanctions on Eritrea. The president of Eritrea demanded to speak to the UN Security Council because he strongly disagreed with the sanctions.Also other countries like China and Russia had abstained from voting in the Security Council.Some countries had been asked to keep an eye on Eritrea to prevent them from supporting the terrorist groups.some East African countries actually wanted to toughen the sanctions,but since two countries had abstained,and European countries had decided that the government should be hurt not the people.This connects to what we did in class,when the Hindus had said that the Pakistan government was providing guns to the terrorist groups.The terrorist groups would then use these guns against the Indian Parliament killing 60 people.

These people are the riot police who manage to stop the violence .

 This is the second election in the DR Congo since the second Congo war! Right now Kabila is winning the election and in second place is Mr.Tshirsekedi.The supporters in the DR Congo think that Kabila rigged the election and Mr.Tshirsekedi should be the winner for the elections.Also the UN sent riot polices to stop violence during the elections if that happens.Also the UN sent helicopters to the pick up Congolese who live in Saharan Africa so they can vote.Also people protested in other countries for example Central London,Belgium,and South Africa.Also analysts believe there are ghost voters in the election.This connects to Joseph Mobutu because he was who lead the 1st election in the DR Congo.Also how he rigged the election so he could still be the president and he lasted 30 years.Also this connects to Trujillo who also rigged elections in the Dominican Republic.        JL BT

India Threatens to Boycott the London Olympic

In India , there are groups who want to boycott the London Olympic games , but the Indian Olympic Association does not want to boycott. This happened because the Union Carbide Corporation caused a gas leak in 1984. The company in the Dow London Olympic games called Dow which is now part of this company and made over 15,000 people die from the gas leak. A spokesman in London told India that the Dow company will not be advertised during the games.The Indian Olympic Association is still going  to the London Olympic games even though people don't want them to go to the London Olympic games. This connects to when India boycotted British goods ,when the British didn't give India independence after World War 1.

Exciting Elections in Egypt!

Symbols on Ballot Papers to symbolize candidates.

Since, the overthrowing of Presisdent Hosni Mubarak, Egyptians are allowed to vote. The government are now holding elections because the protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square are becoming violent, there have been forty-one people killed, and two thousand people injured. Now that Egyptians are allowed to vote, the voting deadline has been extended because of how many people are registered to vote. Egyptians old and young are waiting in lines that can be as long as two miles. There are a few cases were their have been election-related violence. Since, are some people who do not know how to read, the Ballot Papers  have symbols on them to represents the candidates. This connects to what we've learned about the South Africans when they were allowed to vote. They waited in long lines for days and were very exited to be able to vote. Just like the Egyptians, some South Africans are not educated and can not read so they had the pictures of the candidates on the Ballot Papers.
