What you should say is that you acknowledge that you had no knowledge if “slave markets” even exist in the countries you said should shut down slave markets in, and that you made prejudiced statements on no knowledges of conditions or actual facts, but only took your pretensions to make sweeping statements based on racist ideas about Africa.
In fact there are no slave markets in any sense of the idea of “slave market” as it was clear you meant, whatever dishonest equivoquecation you engage in.
No you should confess to knowing nothing and making statements that have no knowledge and are just your self indulgences to make prejudiced statements.
It is very clear you did not know the information that even sven has also confirmed and that I said and that you are not avoiding making apologies by making pretension that there was some mistaken on this that you meant otherwise.
There are no “slave markets” and that traffics occur, they are hidden and not different than other human traffics that occur in India, in Europe. But you thought there were the “slave markets” and do not make lying pretentions otherwise.
no because you are lying and trying to disguise your prejudiced comments and trying to disguise that you made assumptions based on no knowledges at all, and rather than making an honest apology, you make a fake one.
It is contemptible.
You can re-read what I have said already on this very subject since the very beginning. Of course as already other examples shows in Africa like in Uganda these are not magical solutions.
Honestly that post is two days old and a brief web search doesn’t seem to reveal any reputable news organization picking it up. When CNN or the BBC picks it up, I’ll give it more credence.
Until then, to use your phrase, I suspect it’s smoke. If, and that’s a big if, it’s true, I’d want those military sources court-martialed for potentially alerting Boko Haram.
The Nigerian govt has the reputation of being one of the most corrupt and greedy govts in the world.
If you want to help those kidnap victims, sending that govt. some money will accomplish more than all the words and threats and arguments based on righteous indignation ever would.
Question is, do you think it’s reasonable to give those people any money? Or would it be better to try a different strategy?
I think it’s clearly a terrible idea. I think it is clearly a terrible idea. I think most everyone knows it’s a terrible idea.
But, I was addressing the issue of how to get them back. The issue is this: If you had someone for whom you were responsible and they were kidnapped and you wanted them back more than anything in the world, would you pay to get them back? Or would you leave them in the hands of the kidnappers to be abused?
That is why no matter how well people know that it’s a mistake to pay kidnappers, people still pay them.
What would you do if a loved one was kidnapped? Would you pay? Or would you leave them in the hands of the kidnappers?
It’s not so clear when the kidnap victim is one of your loved ones. Is it?
It’s very clear to me that rewarding kidnappers and encouraging them to make a business of continuing to abuse everyone else’s loved ones is a really crappy idea.
If “rewarding kidnappers” = paying the ransom, that is often a very good idea from the POV of the hostages’ loved ones, who are not responsible for larger concerns.
How charmingly selfish. Doesn’t matter what happens to someone else’s loved ones as a result of encouraging kidnapping and abuse by giving rewards for such behavior, just as long as someone YOU know comes back.
IF they do. No honor among thieves, and all that.
IMO, if one encourages criminal activity by rewarding it, one DOES bear a share of responsibility for it happening.
It is not a surprise you invent a wrong rather than admit your errors and lies by exagerations, such as the slaves markets and then your false pretension that your statement contained already the knowledge that even sven brought. It did not and you lie in your pretension you knew and you insult us here in that lie, which is your moral cowardice.
It is my sensation you are a person who exagerates and creates stories without foundations, and who enjoys putting on a cinema of righteous indignations for your own reasons that have no thing to do with any real care but only yourself.
A person who wanted the West to apologise for existing would not be pro-West in having the private investment come to theAfrica and be against the false condescendations of supposed concerns for the Africa or the Nigerians or others.
I have had one sole objection: the fake pitying concern that is mixed with a contempt for the Africa and is used to make bold assertions about the Africa on no knowledge at all. And with this a cowboy attitude that for a certain type who goes along with this to advocate bombing and killing, to assuage not any genuine concern but to show off and engage in pretensions while holding in reality only Tarzan movie views of the Africa and the Africans.
These people are not needed and the farther they stay away from the continent the better.
Yes the Nigerian government is stupid and corrupt and the present President is a nothing who fell into the office by accident when the actual elected President died in office. He has allowed Nigeria to regress and even now is blocking an investigation of the national oil company that was unleashed by the very competent governor of the central bank. Nigeria has made progress and does not always merit its bad reputation, but the only way the Nigeria gets better is for the Nigerian action to happen. Not by the outside charity.
