#BokoHaram jihadists killed Hauwa Mohammed Liman, a female aid worker in northeast Nigeria. They had previously killed one of her colleagues last September after Nigerian authorities failed to respond to ransom requests. Why is the UNHRC silent? uk.businessinsider.com/islamist-milit…

The UN leaves the world of reality behind by voting 146-3 for "State of Palestine" (which has no effective control & therefore cannot be a state) to pretend to be a state & chair the 134-member G-77 group of UN states. Australia & U.S. join Israel in voting No. Canada abstains. pic.twitter.com/BTEng5bmgG

"The U.S. strongly opposes the Palestinian election as Chair of the G77, as well as the so-called enabling resolution in the UN General Assembly. The Palestinians are not a UN Member State or any state at all."

Yet another member of the peaceful #Bahai minority in #Yemen is arbitrarily arrested by #Houthi authorities in collaboration with the repressive regime in #Iran.
Abdullah Al-Olofi - & all unjustly imprisoned Bahai - must be released immediately.
