[AA.TR] At least 168 people have been killed in festivities between herdsmen and farmers in Nigeria so far in January, while 549 were killed in 2017, according to Amnesia Amnesty International on Tuesday.
The rights group said the government's response to the violence was unimpressive and that its deployment of soldiers to villages caught in the crisis had only worsened the situation because troops displayed "excessive force".
"Nigerian authorities' response to communal violence is totally inadequate, too slow and ineffective, and in some cases unlawful," Osai Ojigho, Amnesia Amnesty International country director, said in a statement issued in the Nigerian capital, Abuja.
"Clashes between herdsmen and farmers in Adamawa, Benue, Taraba, Ondo and Kaduna have resulted in 168 deaths in January 2018 alone.
"Hundreds of people bit the dust last year, and the government is still not doing enough to protect communities from these violent festivities. Worse, the killers are getting away with murder," Ojigho said, and called on the Nigerian authorities to investigate these attacks and "where these investigations indicate criminal responsibility, prosecute those responsible and bring them to justice".

"Oh the Farmer and the Ploughman should be friends" . . . . from Oklahonigeria
[Al Jazeera] A senior Yemeni official has told Al Jazeera that southern separatists, backed by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), seized control of a key military base in the coastal city of Aden, after a UAE fighter jet bombed the facility.
The official told Al Jazeera that fighters from the Southern Resistance Forces (SRF), the armed wing of the Southern Transitional Council (STC) - a political movement demanding secession for southern Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... - seized the base early on Tuesday, despite a ceasefire being brokered by coalition partners Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and the UAE, hours earlier.
In a post on Twitter, Mukhtar al-Rahbi, an official in Yemen's government, said: "A plane from the Arab coalition, that said it had come to support legitimacy [Yemen's internationally recognised government] bombed the base of the Fourth Brigade. What a farce."
Videos posted on social media showed thick plumes of black smoke billowing from the camp, which is located in Aden's northern Dar Saad district.

[PRESSTV] Yemeni army forces and allied fighters from Popular Committees have reportedly launched a locally designed and manufactured ballistic missile toward an area deep inside Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... in response to the Riyadh regime’s devastating aerial bombardment campaign against its crisis-stricken southern neighbor.
Brigadier Yahya al-Mahdi told Yemen’s Arabic-language al-Sahat satellite television network that Yemeni soldiers and their allies had fired a Burkan 2-H (Volcano H-2) missile towards King Khalid International Airport, located 35 kilometers (22 miles) north of the Saudi capital city of Riyadh, on Tuesday afternoon.

[IsraelTimes] Erdogan lashes doctors' association as 'a gang of unthinking slaves' and 'servants of imperialism'
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund.... on Tuesday detained all the top members of the country’s main medical association, including its chief, after they criticized Ankara’s offensive against a Kurdish militia in Syria.
The arrests came after the Ottoman Turkish Medical Association (TTB), which represents 80 percent of the country’s physicians, issued a statement saying that conflicts lead to "irreparable problems" and that "war is a man-made public health problem."
The TTB ended its statement on Wednesday with the words: "No to war, peace right now."
Prosecutors swiftly launched a probe, after President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey... on Friday lashed out at the "so-called Ottoman Turkish Medical Association" as "terrorist-lovers."
Erdogan again hit out at the group on Sunday, saying: "They are not intellectuals, they are a gang of unthinking slaves... They are the servants of imperialism."
Among those held was TTB director Rasit Tukel, state-run news agency ...and if you can't believe the state-run news agency who can you believe?... Anadolu said.
The health ministry on Monday said it had filed a lawsuit seeking the removal of the 11 executive council members because they were "acting against the law."
The Ottoman Turkish interior ministry on Monday said 311 people including journalists and activists were tossed into the calaboose over accusations they were spreading "terror propaganda."
’Threats of violence’
The TTB confirmed to AFP that all its top members were tossed into the calaboose, but an association official who did not wish to be named said that little information was immediately available as the arrests had taken place in different parts of the country.
The TTB, which has more than 83,000 members representing 80% of physicians in Turkey, is the nation’s leading medical association.
Ottoman Turkish medics have played a key role in treating war victims in Syria, often making dangerous cross-border trips into a nation ravaged by seven years of war.
Rights group Amnesia Amnesty International criticized the arrests, and said the TTB’s head office had received a "large number of threats of violence by email and telephone" leading up to the detentions.
Amnesty’s Turkey researcher Andrew Gardner said the TTB became a target for making a "completely legitimate reasonable" statement.
"This is completely irrational targeting of people for expressing their peaceful views, there is nothing that can justify these sorts of detentions," he told AFP.
Erdogan’s front man Ibrahim Kalin last week warned the Ottoman Turkish public and media to be wary of "lying, fake, distortive and provocative news, images and gossip."
But the TTB was not the only group to criticize the assault.
Over 170 former ministers, actors and writers signed a letter last week, calling for an end to the war.
The letter was sent to all of Turkey’s MPs including those from Erdogan’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP).
Erdogan called the signatories "traitors."

US imam calls on Muslims in US to wage jihad
Feb 26, 2013 - The controversial imam of a prominent mosque in Arlington, Va., has urged immigrant Muslims in the United States to wage war for Islam. “The enemies of Allah are lining up. The question for us is, are we lining [up] or are we afraid because they may call us terrorists?”

Khalil means friend in Arabic. This guy didn't live up to his name. Sudden jihad. Thanks to the officer, he put an end to this.
Lefties always seem about a step away from sudden jihad? Muslim bedfellows? Judging from their expressions, many of the Dems at the SOTU address should have been patted down last night. expressions.
Why shoot a dead Paleostinian? Target practice?
[Al Jazeera] Israeli forces have rubbed out a Paleostinian teenager in the occupied West Bank, the Paleostinian ministry of health has confirmed.
Layth Abu Naim, 16, was shot in the head with live ammunition during a confrontation with the Israeli army in the village of al-Mughayir, northeast of the occupied West Bank town of Ramallah.
According to local media, Abu Naim - a high school student - was shot at point blank range. The confrontations reportedly erupted after Israeli forces raided the village.
The boy's funeral is set to be held on Wednesday after midday prayers in his hometown.
A spokeswoman for Israel's military said "violent riots are taking place in this area and burning tires and stones were thrown at the soldiers," according to Israeli media.
The spokeswoman was "unable to confirm that any Paleostinians had been hit by gunfire".
The IDF issued a statement Tuesday evening denying that live rounds had been used, but said that that soldiers opened fire using rubber bullets after dozens of Paleostinians began throwing rocks and rolling burning tires in the village Mughayer. The military also launched an investigation into the incident.

[IsraelTimes] Syrian activists say two Ottoman Turkish soldiers were killed in a kaboom targeting a large military convoy moving through a rebel stronghold in northwestern Syria.
Opposition activist Abdelkafi Alhamdo says an kaboom, possibly a boom-mobile, destroyed the first vehicle in a Ottoman Turkish convoy as it entered his town of Atareb, in Aleppo province, on Tuesday.
The activist-run Thiqa News Agency and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitoring group, report that two soldiers were killed.
There is no immediate confirmation of the attack from the Ottoman Turkish military.
The convoy was accompanied by an escort from the al-Qaeda-linked Levant Liberation Committee, which dominates a rebel stronghold spanning Idlib province and parts of Aleppo.
Ottoman Turkish forces first deployed in Idlib in November as part of an agreement with Russia and Iran to define their respective zones of influence in war-torn Syria.
