Executive Summary:On March 21, 2012, a group of Army mutineers appeared on Mali's national television station to declare that they had ended President Amadou Toumani Toure's regime and put in place the “National Committee for the Return of Democracy and the Restoration of State” (CNRDR). In the days following the coup, the leader of the CNRDR – Captain Amadou Sanago, a virtually unknown junior officer, has shown an inability to command discipline from his troops – who have looted the capital. The disappearance of President Toure and the factional infighting of the Army have made the country defenseless against AQIM’s...

The persecution of the Igbos didn't end with the Biafran conflict. Until the nation faces up to this, its mediocrity will continue Almost 30 years before Rwanda, before Darfur, more than 2 million people – mothers, children, babies, civilians – lost their lives as a result of the blatantly callous and unnecessary policies enacted by the leaders of the federal government of Nigeria.As a writer I believe that it is fundamentally important, indeed essential to our humanity, to ask the hard questions, in order to better understand ourselves and our neighbours. Where there is justification for further investigation, justice should...

Attackers killed 12 people Wednesday morning in a small Christian village in central Nigeria, officials said, cutting out most of the victims' tongues in the latest violence in a region where religious fighting already has killed hundreds this year. The attack almost mirrored the tactics used by those who carried out similar massacres in Christian villages last week when more than 200 people were slaughtered.

The fractured ankle that hobbled Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor yesterday is nothing compared with the political stumble she'll likely encounter when conservatives begin digging into her connection to a charity organization started by controversial political activist Lenora Fulani.

The fractured ankle that hobbled Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor yesterday is nothing compared with the political stumble she'll likely encounter when conservatives begin digging into her connection to a charity organization started by controversial political activist Lenora Fulani.The issue was hidden in plain sight, right there in the May 26 press release issued by the White House to announce Sotomayor's nomination to the high court.Describing Sotomayor's community service, the White House emphasized that "her favorite project" is "the Development School for Youth program, which sponsors workshops for inner-city high school students."Since 2005, Judge Sotomayor has conducted a legal workshop...

Nice try, Lenora. But we aren't buying it. In fact, anyone who thinks that odious hatemonger Lenora Fulani has had a genuine epiphany on the subject of anti-Semitism must be downright delusional. While announcing last week that she wants to run for citywide office in 2009, Fulani thought to make some real news by reading a statement "repudiating" remarks she made in 1989 calling Jews "mass murderers of people of color" who'd had to "sell their souls to acquire Israel." "The language I used was harsh, and today I would call it excessive," she said. Which prompted the question: But...

Anti-Semite Fulani Booted Out At Last Posted by Plaut's Complaint @ Monday 19 September 2005, 12:54 pm The World Jewish Congress is reporting that Lenore Fulani (a.k.a. the Big Foolani) has finally been expelled from the cult party she was co-running. Fulani is an anti-Semitic Afrofascist, a groupie of the Rev Al who backed him in the Tawana Brawley scam, and has long co-controlled the misnamed Independence Party (actually a moonbat cult), together with communist moonbat Fred Newman (a one-time sidekick of Lyndon LaRouche and just as anti-Semitic).   She was praising Yassir Arafat’s terrorism long before Arafat started pretending to be participating in...

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - A woman accused of making anti-Semitic remarks was removed Sunday from the executive committee of New York's small but politically influential Independence Party. Lenora Fulani's comments had drawn criticism not only from fellow Independence Party members, but also from powerful Democrats such as Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and from Republicans including New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Fulani has been accused of saying Jews "function as mass murderers of people of color" and "had to sell their souls" to acquire Israel. Fulani and five of her supporters were purged from the Ross Perot-inspired party's 25-member executive...

More than a decade ago, when Fred Newman and Lenora Fulani embraced Marxist ideology, they could not persuade even the Rev. Al Sharpton to run under the banner of their fringe political party in his 1992 Senate bid. Mr. Sharpton, seeking to gain legitimacy as a candidate, began distancing himself from the two and from their New Alliance Party, as questions about his past association with them threatened to undermine his campaign and his credibility. But in recent years, Dr. Fulani and Dr. Newman have found many of the state's top political leaders eager to court their latest organization, the...

If New Yorkers need another reason to get rid of all these pretend political parties cluttering the ballot, Lenora Fulani provided it last week. Dr. Fulani is in the middle of a firestorm about ugly remarks she made about Israel two decades ago and reaffirmed just last week. She said in the late 1980's that the Jews "had to sell their souls to acquire Israel" and were then forced to "function as mass murderers of people of color" to help their nation survive. She defended the comments last Wednesday on a local television station. As outlandish as her remarks are,...

Lenora B. Fulani, an important political ally of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's, has refused to disavow comments attributed to her in the late 1980's saying that Jews "had to sell their souls to acquire Israel" and had to "function as mass murderers of people of color" to keep it. Asked about the comments on NY1 News on Wednesday night, Dr. Fulani, a high-profile official with the Independence Party, said, "What is anti-Semitic about it?" She added, "It's raising issues that I think need to be explored." Dr. Fulani's party controls a line on the ballot that can be crucial for...

Enough is enough. It's time for New York's political establishment — led by Mayor Bloomberg — to sever all ties to the anti-Semitic hatemonger Lenora Fulani. On a local all-news TV channel this week, Fulani repeatedly defended her obnoxious 1988 declaration that Jews "function as mass murderers of people of color" and "had to sell their souls to acquire Israel." A crank, you say, far from the mainstream? Hardly. Fulani controls New York's Independence Party, which holds the No. 3 line on the statewide ballot. And that makes her obnoxious views irrelevant to most New York pols; all they care...

June 14, 2004 -- Sen. Chuck Schumer isn't losing any sleep these days about winning re-election in November; in selecting Goshen Assemblyman Howard Mills, state Republicans haven't exactly rolled out the heavy artillery. So why does Schumer feel compelled to kowtow to extremist Lenora Fulani; that is, to once again accept the endorsement of the state Independence Party, which the odious Fulani controls?
