Is she alive ?
Have she dispeared and never seen again ?
Was she raped ?
Is she been hurt in anyway ?
No. No. No & No.
On the other there are 3,000,000 people brutaly murdered in Congo Ethnic Cleansing and there is no word about in in the news.
BTW (1) She was released.
BTW (2) Palestinians murderes last night snicked into Israel and shot a 7 yr old girl (They shot a whole family car killing the 7 yr old girl and seriously woundeing her 3 yr old sister which will remain paralyzed)
It is too bad Huwaida can not do anything to stop the senseless killing of kids either in Congo or in Israel.

Furtuna, move to Congo and be a peace activists if you care so about their predicament.
I am in Bunya
Luck has nothing to do with it.
There is Ethnic Cleansing in Bunya. Between 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 people were murdered since the Ugandian army left the place 3 years ago.
But the world does not care.
When Blacks are killing Blacks this must be OK. Flashpoints never even once did a show on Bunya.
People who say they are for human rights can not be so discrminating

The mainstream media never even mentions Palestinian casualties objectively.
Your frustration is familiar to all of us peace and human rights upholders- furtuna...

You dont stop genocidal armies with luck and you dont stop them with protests you can try to stop them with UN peace keepers but the best way is to give their front line troups a good thrashing.
It is time to sort it out

So you calim that the same way the main stream media treats Palestinian casualties is the way that pacifica should report on Africa ?
What a lame excuse.
Pacifica does not report on Congo not because of the victoms but because the killers are black. For the same reason they are not reporting Palestinian violence.
