October 28th, 2009 | by admin |

The Tuareg people of Niger struggle to maintain their nomadic way of life in the face of uranium mining, an industry run by foreign companies that many say is having devastating environmental repurcussions.

Al Jazeera’s May Welsh reports on civilians and rebels in the uranium mining zone.

    This depraved, vicious cave breed called the white race will never leave africa alone will they? They ravage africas natural resources and then blame africans for their poverty! ANd most people in the western hemisphere, being dupes and brainwashed ignoramuses with not even a smattering of geopolitical understanding, will condemn african for this turmoil. Of course the govts in africa are proxie govts put in power by the cracker to protect their corporate interests

    ANd what makes it …
    ANd what makes it so infuriating is the media machine in the white parts of the world i.e, France, Britian, Germany, U.S. and Canada, etc never tell you the story behind the story. They show you impoverished people in africa but never show you the underlying cause of their penury because the white imperialists ARE THE CAUSE. They portray it in their media as if africans simply cant educate and nourish themselves. They install their puppet govts all over africa and latin america.

    Just goes to show you that the same dissolute, souless, zombie, pale, untamed breed who invaded africa, went on a murdering spree in africa, colonized africa, set up aparthied in africa and pillaged and fleeced africas mineral wealth and confiscated africas land all while hanging, burning, raping, disenfranchising blacks abroad, are STILL looting and exploiting africa. Theyve given it a facelift though. This new colonialism is so effective because it has black faces on it.

    A HOSPITAL OFF LIMITS?! What the is wrong with those money sucking pigs?! They can at least give those poor people help since they are taking THEIR wealth from them.I have to agree with mightym1, the media here in the United States only shows what benefits them; perhaps those humanitarians haven’t heard anything because of lack of international reports our media broadcasts. (But I hope something is done as soon as possible.)
