Horrible and heartbreaking...prayers.
It wasn’t “rape”, “rape”.
Just sayin'...
Allah eats more of his own.
“Eyewitnesses have told human rights groups of soldiers raping women in the streets during the crackdown ...”.
Just Africans doing what Africans have always done.

Nobody gave much thought to the slaughter in Rwanda, either. Ho, hum.
Those who wait for a “concerned public” are well advised to bring lunch. Waiting for Godot would be shorter.
On the other hand, had the victims in ______________ (reader inserts whatever butchery ) been armed, things would have been different.

Guinea Violence Leads to U.S. Embassy Ordered Departure
SAFETY & SECURITY
Sub-Saharan Africa - Guinea
2 Oct 2009
The following report is a compilation of press, embassy and constituent reporting:
Overview
The U.S. Department State has ordered the departure of non-emergency personnel and eligible family members of the U.S. Embassy in Conakry, Guinea four days after the country’s military units opened fire on civilians and clashed with protesters at an opposition rally. Over 150 people were killed. The violence occurred when political parties and trade unions defied the ruling National Council for Democracy and Development (CNDD) military junta’s protest ban. They staged a rally on September 28 to oppose claims that CNDD Leader Moussa Dadis Camara might run for president in the country’s January 2010 election.
