“ An armed group abducted at least 89 boys some as young as 13 near Malakal in the north of South Sudan, a UNICEF education team reported on Saturday. The UN added the number of abducted children could be higher.” “ The education team said the incident occurred in the community of Wau Shilluk in Upper Nile State. 'The recruitment and use of children by armed forces destroys families and communities. Children are exposed to incomprehensible levels of violence, they lose their families and their chance to go to school,' said UNICEF Representative in South Sudan, Jonathan Veitch, urging the children’s release.” “ The conflict, ongoing since South Sudan’s independence from Sudan in 2011, has displaced thousands of people internally, according to the UN.” http://rt.com/news/line/2015-02-21/#81979

“ US search engine giant Google has warned against increasing the government's powers for infiltrating computer systems around the world, saying it would open a number of 'monumental' constitutional issues. Google released a tough-sounding statement against the Department Justice (DoJ) proposal to make it easier for the courts to issue search warrants to seize electronic data ‘remotely’ from anywhere in the world.” “ Under Rule 41, the judge that authorizes the computer tap must be situated in the same district as the computer under investigation. The new proposal would allow the FBI to operate beyond the immediate judicial area of the presiding judge.” “ Google warned in its statement that if the DoJ gets its way, the FBI will be authorized to hack into servers regardless of their geopolitical location, thus giving the US government unrestrained access to endless amounts of personal data around the globe.” “ The issue is raising seri

“ The deadly conflict in Sudan’s western region of Darfur has resulted in the displacement of more than 41,000 people over the past two months, the United Nations says.” “ OCHA [UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs] noted that a total of 470,000 people were displaced in Darfur in 2014 , while almost a third of them later returned to their homes. Meanwhile, Ivo Freijsen, the head of OCHA's Sudan office warned that the real number of the displaced could be higher than the figures provided as there are some regions to which the UN body has no access.” “ Darfur has been the scene of violence since 2003, when rebels took up arms against the government in Khartoum. There has been also tribal fighting in the region. The United Nations-African Union Mission in Darfur was launched in 2007 in a bid to protect civilians and restore stability to the restive region. The UN estimates that the violence in Darfur has so far killed some 300,000 people

“ ISIS’ plans to conquer Europe via Libya have been revealed in letters seen by an anti-terrorism group. Owing to its perfect location on the continental doorstep, the terrorists plan to ferry fighters from North Africa across the Mediterranean.” “ The plans, analyzed by anti-terrorism British think tank Quilliam, outline a strategy to illegally ferry fighters across the sea from Libya into southern Europe, into ports such as Italy’s southernmost island of Lampedusa, less than 300 miles (483km) away.” “ Libya 'has a long coast and looks upon the southern Crusader states, which can be reached with ease by even a rudimentary boat,' an Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) propagandist says in the letters seen by Quilliam, according to the Telegraph. That information originates from an IS supporter using the moniker Abu Ibrahim al-Libim. The propagandist is believed to be a strong force in IS recruitment online, with a focus on Libya.” “ The plan

“ The Greek government says the European Union (EU) should either 'accept or reject' Athens’ official request for a six-month extension of its loan program as the two sides prepare for a new round of bailout talks.” “ 'Tomorrow’s Eurogroup has just two choices. To accept or reject the Greek request. We will now discover who wants to find a solution, and who does not,' said a Greek government source, speaking on condition of anonymity, on Thursday.” “ Earlier in the day, Athens officially asked the EU to provide the debt-ridden country with a six-month loan assistance package, rather than the renewal of the current bailout deal which includes tough austerity conditions. The request stressed Athens’ commitment to fiscal balance, but rejected further austerity measures.” http://www.presstv.com/Detail/2015/02/19/398301/Accept-or-reject-bailout-offer-Greece
