Beyonce assists United Nations humanitarian mission in Wyclef’s country, Haiti


Beyonce recently travelled to Haiti to assist the United Nations on a humanitarian mission in the Caribbean country.
With her organization, BeyGOOD, the award winning screen diva visited towns throughout the country and assisted people with food, water, and other necessary resources including medical attention from the UN’s doctors.
Following the devastating earthquake on January 12, 2010, Haiti, the country of birth of superstar,Wyclef Jean, has slowly tried to stabilise its economy across all spectrums. This result has left residents in a state of poverty, lack of substantial shelter, and adequate plumbing, which has led to a cholera outbreak.
The UN also concludes the rapid spread of the disease in Haiti has been the ‘largest in recent world history.’ According to Pedro Medrano Rojas, the UN’s senior coordinator for cholera response in Haiti, organizations are calling for more international support to prevent the steady rise of this disease.
‘The cholera epidemic in Haiti is still a humanitarian emergency that requires urgent attention,’ Rojas said in German newspaper Wiener Zeitung. How would we react if any other country forecasted 28,000 cases of cholera for 2015?’

It's been 25 years since Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait

Image
A quarter century ago, after Saddam Hussein's Iraqi army successfully invaded and took over the tiny Persian Gulf nation of Kuwait, President George H.W. Bush famously drew a line in the sand against Iraqi aggression. While the United States and its allies easily ejected Iraq from Kuwait within seven months of the Aug. 2, 1990, invasion, Bush's line has continued onward in an almost Biblical fashion, accompanied by plenty of pre-modern horrors. The Gulf War begat the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which begat the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, which begat ISIS, which begat a potential future war with Iran or Syria or even what remains of Iraq. At the time, however, Bush said standing up to Hussein's Iraq was necessary to protect neighboring Saudi Arabia, a key US ally and the world's largest oil producing country, both then and now.
