Rwandan aide extradited to France

article link:

Rose Kabuye was arrested in France last week on a French-issued warrant. She is one of nine officials accused of involvement in the shooting down of Juvenal Habyarimana’s plane in 1994, which triggered the country’s genocide. She has denied any involvement and her arrest has led to protests in Rwanda, where she is a popular figure. Earlier on Wednesday, thousands of people turned out for what appeared to be highly organised demonstrations against her extradition in Rwanda’s capital, Kigali.

I’m glad she wasn’t released after her arrest, because she was involved in an unspeakable thing. The Rwandan people who are protesting do not know what they are protesting about, because there is actually evidence that she was involved in the shooting of Juvenal Habyarimana’s plane in 1994, which triggered the country’s genocide. Maybe the people who are protesting are from her tribe the tusi’s, and the tusi’s and kagame the former president of Rwanda are actually the ones who were mainly involved in the shooting of Juvenal Habyarimana’s plane although they all freeking denie it.

Rapper West criticises paparazzi #9

article link:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7732120.stm

West was arrested early on Friday morning following a complaint from freelance photographer Terry Blackburn. But West was released without charge.”Right now, the paps are above the law and the people who they shoot are below it,” he wrote on his official website.
Mr Blackburn the victim told BBC 1Xtra on Friday the incident happened outside the Tup Tup Palace club in the city centre. He said: “He had four women around him. As I approached the car which he was getting into, he ran around the back and I ran around the front to try and meet him around the side. “Just a just as soon as I put my camera up to my face, that was it – he just pushed it in my face.” The incident left him with his nose “cut open”, Mr Blackburn claimed.

First of all, I want to say that it is not right for photographers to take away celebrities privacy and freedom. It is not right because they are also people like us and think of it this way what if you were famous, would you want somebody looking through your window at your house and taking pictures while you are doing whatever you are doing? I personally do not want that. But the other thing that i want to add on is that celebrities should be cool, and should not beat up photographers, they should respect them because that’s their work.

Senior Rwandan official arrested

article link:
Rose Kabuye the chief of protocol for current Rwandan President Paul Kagame  was detained on arrival at Frankfurt on a warrant issued by a French judge. She is one of nine senior Rwandan officials wanted over the shooting down of Juvenal Habyarimana’s plane which led to the 1994 Rwandan Genocide. All are members of the party which ousted the genocidal regime. Correspondents say Ms Kabuye, a former guerrilla fighter with the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), now Rwanda’s ruling party, has heroic status in Rwanda.

I’m actually glad that she has been arrested because I was born Goma a town between Congo and Rwanda and the Rwandan genocide killed many of my relatives. There is actually proof that she was involved in the genocide I do not know why she was not arrested yet. People who were involved in mass murder like the Rwandan genocide need to be stricked down a soon as there are links to them because they have killed a ton of people and still secretively killing people although the corrupt government claims that there is “peace”. All those people need to get justice for every man, woman, and child they killed, no matter what the cost is.

McCain ‘doing fine’ despite polls 7

article link:

Mr McCain said he had closed the gap with Barack Obama in the past week. Later at a rally he claimed that he was ready to fight to win the vote. McCain was campaigning in Iowa and Ohio on Sunday, while  Obama was in Colorado. An NBC poll for Iowa  said that Obama had 51% voter support, and McCain at 40%. However, a  C-Span poll released on Sunday suggested a closer race overall, with Obama only five percentage points ahead of Mr McCain’s 44%.

“Those polls have consistently shown me much farther behind than we actually are. We’re doing fine. We’ve closed the gap in the last week and if we continue this close in the next week you’re going to be up very late on election night. I choose to trust my senses as well as the polls, and the enthusiasm at almost all of our campaign events is at a higher level than I’ve ever seen.” Mumbles McCain.

I do not agree with McCain, he is just trying to make himself and his sorry campaign feel better. There is no way the polls would show false calculations. And the polls that C-Span routers produced were false because most of the C-Span members are republicans and they produced inaccurate polls because they were trying to back up McCain. McCain is just making everything up because he wants his supporters not to loose hope in him and keep voting for i would do the same thing if i were him.

Sniffer dogs in teenage bedrooms 6

article link:

Parents can rent a dog and handler for $200 an hour from Sniff Dogs, a firm operating in New Jersey and Ohio. The dogs are highly trained and can detect illegal drugs. The company says the animals can smell marijuana from up to 15 feet away and residue on clothing from drugs smoked two days earlier. The dogs sit when they detect the drugs but they leave the final inspection to the parents.

I pesonally think that this is a good idea because there are many teens who use illeagle drugs and it is hard for their parents to confront them because they are not sure if they really use them or not. if parents confront them without proof of them using them it will cause another issue of trust and accusation.

Critics claim that the service could be invasive and may break down family trust, no this will not happen if the parents do the search in secret in case they do not find any drugs, but if the find them then they should confront their kids about it.

A Duty to Heal 5

Pius Kamau grew up in the grinding poverty of colonial Africa in Kenya, Martin Luther King’s non-violent political struggle made freedom and equality sounded like achievable goals to him. America’s ideals filled his head. He promised himself, that he would walk on America’s streets someday. But, as soon as he set foot in America’s hospitals, though, reality — and racism — quickly intruded on the ideals. His color and accent set him apart. But in a hospital he was neither black nor white. He was a doctor. He believes that every patient he touches deserves the same care and concern from him.

In 1999, he was on call when a 19-year-old patient was brought into the hospital. He was coughing up blood after a car accident. He was a white supremacist, an American Nazi with a swastika tattooed on his chest.

The nurses told Dr. Pius Kamau he wouldn’t let him touch him. When he came close to him, he spat on him. In that moment, he wanted no part of him either, but no other physician would take him on. He realized he had to minister to him as best as he could.

He talked to him, but he refused to look at him or acknowledge him. He would only speak through the white nurses. Only they could check his body for injury. Only they could touch his tattooed chest. It ended up being that the patient had no major injuries, but Dr. Pius Kamau whished he cpould have done more to communicate with him.

” I agree with Pius Kamau, that every patient regardless of color race and beliefs should be seen and treated the same. He shouldn’t feel bad for not talking to his racist patient more because he did his part he tried to talk to him and never gotten a feedback so in otther ways he did his part. I like his writing stly it flows together and it keeps you intreasted wanting to know more.”

We’re All Different in Our Own Ways 4

What if everyone in this world was the same? What if everyone talked the same, acted the same, listened to the same music, and watched the same television programs? The world would be extremely tedious!

People’s differences are very important and they should be respected. Many people throughout history were considered different, such us Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Harriet Truman, Peter Tchaikovsky and Abraham Lincoln. They did great things, but some people thought they were weird because they had strong feelings about something. I can relate to these people because I have been in that situation before, many times.

It all started in elementary school when I realized that I was not like everyone else. My mom says that I have a tendency of obsessing on certain subjects. Unfortunately, these subjects do not interest other kids my age and they really do not interest my teachers. In fact, my kindergarten teacher said she would scream if I mentioned snakes or lizards one more time while she was teaching the days of the week. I would get in trouble for not paying attention — and the teasing began.

In third grade, my teacher informed me that I have Asperger’s Syndrome. I said, “So what? Do you know that Godzilla’s suit weighs 188 pounds?”

Later, I asked my mom, “What is Asperger’s Syndrome? Am I going to die?” She said that it is like having blinders on, that I can only see one thing at a time, and that it is hard to focus on other things. Like I would tell anyone and everyone that would listen about Godzilla because my big obsession was, and still is, Godzilla — not a real popular subject with the middle school crowd, and so the teasing continues.

I might be different because I have different interests than other teenagers, but that does not give them the right to be so mean and cruel to me. Kids at Oak Valley make fun of me for liking what I like the most.

People also make fun of me for knowing facts about volcanoes, whales, tornadoes and many other scientific things. My mom says that she has been able to answer many questions on Jeopardy! Just by listening to what I have to say, but I have even been ridiculed for being smart.

Maybe someday, I will become a gene engineer and create the real Godzilla. I can dream, can’t I?

Sometimes I wish I were like everyone else, but not really. Because I believe, people should be respected for being different because we are all different in our own ways. This I believe.

“I totally agree with this essay, because I know what it is like to be different. I have been prejudiced against by many people because of the color of my skin and where I am from. It took me a while to get used to it and wished that I was the same as everybody else, but I have come to accept who I’m and I’m glad that I’m different. If I was to get recreated I would ask God not to change a thing about my skin color or where I’m from, because this two things have made me the person I’m today and I’m proud of it.”
