Children Beheaded in Africa, White House is Silent.

Well, if first you don't succeed, try, try, again.

I hear many statements coming from the White House, and considering we have a President whose ancestry is from Africa, I wonder why the silence in light of the brutal murder of children in Africa.

UNICEF - Press centre - Horrific cruelty and violence against children in Central African Republic must end: UNICEF

At least 133 children killed or maimed in past two months

NEW YORK/DAKAR, Senegal, 13 February 2014 – UNICEF officials in the West Africa region said today they are horrified by the cruelty and impunity with which children are being killed and mutilated in the Central African Republic.

According to the UN children’s agency, recent weeks have witnessed unprecedented levels of violence against children in sectarian and retaliatory attacks by anti-Balaka militia and ex-Séléka combatants – acts that constitute grave violations against children.

“Children are increasingly targeted because of their religion, or because of their community,” said UNICEF West and Central Africa Regional Director, Manuel Fontaine. “Sectarian violence in Central African Republic has intensified, both in the capital Bangui, and in the west and centre of the country.”

At least 133 children have been killed and maimed, some of them in horrific ways, in two months of escalating ethno-religious violence. UNICEF has verified cases of children intentionally beheaded and mutilated, and is aware of cases of children wounded in the cross-fire, who have had to have limbs amputated because insecurity blocked them from getting to the hospital in time for treatment. In the town of Boali, northwest of the capital, one in four casualties has been among children, with 22 killed and 42 injured since early December.

That's racist. We are not allowed to think, much less utter such things!

So by your logic, a white President should be unduely concerned about events occuring in Europe? Knucklehead self-destruction isn't going away anytime soon, but there's only so much you can do. Interven and you catch hell for meddling, do nothing and you catch hell for being indifferent. It's a lose-lose proposition. Some things just have to be solved internally.

I am sure that if things like this were happening today almost anywhere outside of Africa, civilization would be considered lost. Well, Africa,...yeah, OK.

 

[strollingbones]

okay i have got to go...but i am ashamed of this first lady...since when are 'human rights' off the table? i just cant believe that...just cant...she is shameful

 

[koshergrl]

Obama believes that somewhere, someone has just been relieved of the punishment of children...and that, to him and progressives like him, is a good thing.

Somewhere, some kids' suffering was ended. Win/win. Somwhere, there are more natural resources to be exploited by Obama and his friends. Somewhere, there's a few less poor kids to have to think about.

This is the perfect solution in Obama's world.

Mathew, read the history of the religious wars in Europe. There are equal atrocities in that sad chapter of man's inhumanity to man.

I think you have to make a distinction between books on medieval history and news reports.

The White House (Obama) turns a blind eye when men, women, and children are massacred wholesale but sends emissaries (Kerry) when "gays" are discriminated against.

Bloody death and mayhem = okay
Moral standards = taboo
