China considers exporting green technology to African leaders amid Western restrictions

This week, China will call for increased shipments of goods, such as electric vehicles (EVs) and solar panels, at a summit of 50 African countries in Beijing in exchange for promises of loans and investment.

However, Chinese leaders are likely to want to hear how China plans to keep an unfulfilled promise from a previous summit in 2021 to buy $300 billion worth of goods. They will also seek assurances of progress on unfinished Chinese-funded infrastructure projects, such as a railway to link the greater East African region. Eric Olander, co-founder of the China-Global South Project, stated:

The prize is going to go to those countries who have carefully studied the changes in China and align their proposals with China’s new slimmed-down priorities. That’s a big ask for a continent that generally has very poor China literacy.

Africa’s largest bilateral lender, investor, and trading partner is refusing to finance expensive projects, preferring instead to sell advanced and environmentally friendly technologies to the continent. Beijing’s top priority will be finding buyers for its EVs and solar panels, as well as establishing overseas manufacturing bases for emerging markets.

China has already begun adjusting the terms of its loans to Africa, allocating more money to solar farms, power plants, and 5G Wi-Fi facilities, while cutting back on bridges, ports, and railways.

Careful cooperation

When President Xi Jinping opens the ninth forum of the China-Africa Cooperation Summit on Thursday, he is expected to brief the leaders of The Gambia, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, and Zimbabwe on tapping into China’s growing green energy industry. The meeting will be attended by delegates from all African states except Eswatini, with which Beijing has no ties.

The UK, Italy, Russia, and South Korea also hosted African summits in recent years, recognising the potential of the region’s youth and its 54 seats at the UN. However, China’s huge role as a financial and trading partner makes its meetings much more important.

China is likely to want to talk about expanding trade and access to minerals, such as copper, cobalt, and lithium, in countries like Botswana, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. However, Beijing may be cautious about increasing funding commitments following debt restructuring proposals in countries including Chad, Ethiopia, Ghana, and Zambia after the 2021 summit.

China’s enthusiasm for lending, however, could be tempered by security concerns, such as the hostility between Niger and Benin that killed six Nigerian soldiers guarding a PetroChina-backed pipeline, or bloody protests in Kenya over tax hikes.

The Logic of “Deep Ecology”

We suffer, these days, from a bad habit. We eat “fast food,” nibble at “fast ideas,” scan “fast headlines,” and buy our panaceas in the form of easily swallowed pills. The need to think out the logic of certain premises is almost totally alien to the “American Way” of the late 20th century. Devall and Sessions’ Deep Ecology and the “movement” they have helped to launch under the presiding icon of Arne Naess, provides what is exactly needed to lull us into a acceptance of “fast ecology.”

As it turn out, however, we cannot say “A” without passing into “B,” or “B” into “C” until we reach “Z.” And there is a “deep” or “deeper ecology” movement of which Devall is a member, formed around a periodical called Earth First! to which Devall is a contributing editor and Sessions a valued contributor. If there is anything fascinating about “Earth First!” as a movement and especially as a periodical, it is the fact that the periodical does go from “A” to “Z” and draws all the logical conclusions from “deep ecology,” conclusions that Devall and Sessions often bury with metaphors, sutras, poetic evocations, and pretensions.

“Earth First!” means exactly what it says and what “deep ecology” implies — the “earth” comes before people, indeed, people (to the periodical’s editor, David Foreman) are superfluous, perhaps even harmful, and certainly dispensable. “Natural law” tends to supplant social factors. Thus: is there a famine in Ethiopia? If so, argues Foreman to an admiring Devall in a notorious interview, nature should be permitted to “take its course” and the Ethiopian should be left to starve. Are Latins (and, one may add, Indians) crossing the Rio Grande? Then they should be stopped or removed, contends Foreman, because they are burdening “our” resources. Devall, who apparently recorded these golden views, doesn’t express a word of protest or even dissent. Nor is there a known denunciation, so far as I know, from Sessions.

Given the preoccupation of Devall and Sessions with the need for an eco-culture — or religion? — what kind of culture should we protect, asks Ed Abbey, the theoretical Pope of “Earth First!”? It turns out that our society has been shaped by a “northern European culture,” declares Abbey — or should we say “Aryan”? Hence there are presumably sound “cultural” reasons — an expression that some might interpret as “racial” — to keep Latins from polluting “our” culture and institutions with their hierarchical attributes. What is the “litmus test” of our adherence to “Earth First!” asks Foreman? It is the question of “population growth,” you see — not capitalism and the competitive market place. No one in that entire crowd, to my knowledge, takes the care to note that if the world’s population were reduced to 500 million (as Naess suggests for a demographic desideratum) or even 5 million, an economic system based on competition and accumulation in which a failure to “grow” is a sentence of economic death in the market place would necessarily devour the biosphere, irrespective of what people need, the numbers they reach, or the intentions that motivate them. American capitalism wiped out some 40 million bison, devastated vast forests, and dessicated millions of acres of soil before its population exceeded 100 million.

If an inherently “grow-or-die” market economy cannot produce cars, it will produce tanks. If it cannot produce clothing, it will produce missiles. If it cannot produce TV sets, it will produce radar guidance systems. “Deep ecology,” with its bows to Malthus, is totally oblivious to these almost classic almost economic principles. Its focus is almost completely zoological and its image of people, indeed, of society is very deeply rooted in “natural forces” rather than social tendencies. Characteristically, it speaks of a “technological society” or an “industrial society” instead of capitalism, a piece of verbal juggling that shrewedly conceals the social relationships that play a decisive role in the technologies and industries society develops and the use to which they are put.

Technology in itself does not produce the dislocations between an antiecological society and nature, although there are surely technologies that, in themselves, are dangerous to an ecosystem. What technology does is essentially magnify a basically social problem. To speak of a “technological society” or an “industrial society,” as Devall, Sessions, and “Earth First!” persistently do is to throw cosmic stardust over the economic laws that guide capital expansion which Marx so brilliantly developed in his economic writings and replace economic factors by zoological metaphors. Herein lies the utterly regressive character of “deep ecology,” “Earth First!” and its religious acolytes like Charlene Spretnak, Kirkpatrick Sale, and the diaperheads who float between Hollywood and Disneyland, indeed, who threaten to remove every grain of radicality in a movement that is potentially, at least, one of the most radical to emerge since the sixties. If the biggest “hole” in the Green movement is the need for a “sustainable religion,” as Spretnak would have us believe, then we have created a donut rather than a movement.

LOGISTIC SERVICES IN DJIBOUTI: A GATEWAY TO AFRICA

 Nestled south In the Horn of Africa, Djibouti has become an indispensable centre for trading and logistics in the area. Despite the fact that the country itself is small, its location at the junction of one of the biggest shipping routes has rendered it quite significant strategically. This excellent location, along with large infrastructure expenditures, has enabled Djibouti to become a vital part of international logistics and become the gateway to Africa.

Strategic Importance

The advantageous location of Djibouti next to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which connects the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea offers an immediate connection to the Suez Canal. is it natural to be responsible for a sizable portion of all global maritime traffic and this particular canal is in itself regarded as one of the most significant ones. Thus, particularly for landlocked East African countries like Ethiopia, which largely rely on Djibouti for access to foreign markets, the ports of Djibouti have become essential to the facilitation of international trade.

Port Infrastructure

The logistics sector of the nation depends mostly on the Port of Djibouti. The harbour has been extensively modernized over the years to effectively manage growing cargo quantities. With its cutting-edge amenities, it can hold a wide variety of ships, including oil tankers and cargo boats. The plans strategized for the port centre on changing and developing its operating effectiveness, cutting turnaround times, and increasing capacity to satisfy future needs.

 Apart from its main port, Djibouti has created a number of specialist ports, such as the Doraleh Container Terminal and the Doraleh Multi-Purpose Port. Doraleh, which is known as one of Africa's most sophisticated container terminals, have greatly increased the overall ability of the nation's handle  containerized or can say package freight and promotes smoother commercial environment. Conversely, Logistic service in Djibouti capabilities yet are seen to be  further diversified by the Doraleh Multi-Purpose Port, which handles a variety of cargo types from bulk commodities to cars.

Rail Connectivity

To advance with its maritime infrastructure, Djibouti has invested in better rail connections. The 750-kilometer standard gauge Djibouti-Ethiopia railway, which links Djibouti with Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa, is another important pillar of this project. This railway provides a stable and cost-effective means of transporting goods between the two countries, significantly cutting down on transit times and costs.

Air Freight Services

Air freight services are still highly prominent in the region or Subcontinent of  Djibouti's logistics environment, even though the rail and water ways specially the ocean transit still dominate the country's logistics landscape, particularly for early and expensive or important commodities. The major Sector for aircraft freight is Djibouti-Ambouli global Airport, which also provides frequent connections to major and prominent global hubs. Many different items, including consumbales and Legal or Medicinal drugs, are transported frequently and protected via the airport's cargo facilities.

Logistics Parks and Free Zones

 Djibouti is establishing a logistics center and hurdle less-trade zones to enhance its logistical capabilities. For example, the largest trading zone in Africa is situated in Djibouti. Logistic service in Djibouti provides you in a friendly environment, efficient customs laws and procedures, and advantageous tax rates are all advantageous to businesses. These locations are highly appealing to Multinational companies looking to establish themselves in the region, which boosts employment opportunities and diversifies the economy.

Challenges and Opportunities

 Despite its magnificent growth, logistic service in Djibouti's transportation and storage sector faces constraints . Its growth trajectory is heavily effected by elements including native and indigenous  safety concerns, Political and local stability, and the need for ongoing infrastructural development. Furthermore, considering Ethiopia's importance as an economic partner, it is imperative to maintain robust bilateral relations and ensure the stability of strategic systems.

Still, there are huge room for improvement. Due to its advantageous geographic and strategic position and commitment to infrastructure development, Djibouti is a major participant in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Through the BRI initiative, logistic service in Djibouti may be able to secure new investment opportunities and foster economic growth by reinforcing its international trade relations.

Conclusion

The Capability of the Country to handle  freight has significantly increased obliged to Doraleh, one of Africa's most dynamic container ports, which also enables more seamless economic flows. On the other hand, Djibouti's logistical capabilities are improved by the Doraleh Multi-Purpose Port, which efficiently handles a range of cargo, including bulk commodities and automobiles.

To The People of Arizona Republic

To The People of Arizona Republic

 To say that I was deeply heartened when I saw you turn down an endorsement of Donald Trump, is an understatement.  And here’s why:

As an immigrant who grew up in a socialist country in Africa (Ethiopia), I have come to have a high regard for facts, as they were, and a higher regard for those who uphold them—especially while facing a potential foe such as the personality that is Donald Trump, and the position he finds himself in presently as President-elect.

During my formative years, as I witnessed the Berlin-Wall come down, the Warsaw Pact disperse, China rocked at Tiananmen square and my own country’s Communists loose power to forces talking of a market-economy, there was only one thing that I could think of: why it took so long for a political, economic system that is based on lies to finally come undone.

That question would lead to studies in History in an American Liberal arts college and many conversations ruminating on the subject. And this is what I can tell you as a person who witnessed first-hand how lies borough deep into a nation’s core, leaving it empty from the inside out, dear folks of the fourth estate:

It takes time for an idea, good or bad, to sometimes work its way through a state’s political, economic system and prove itself—or come apart at the seams. Lies take time to work their way and be found for what they are: terrible descriptions of reality meant to hide the facts or lead those who follow, astray.

When I witness the modern Republican party of the US, I see some earie similarities with my dear comrades, my nemesis of my childhood, the Commies.

The similarity is in one, specific aspect: a fast and loose relationship with the facts (staying away from the troublesome “truth”), which leads to delusions of greatness or perceived threats; a tendency to construe or misconstrue facts in ways to divide or incite the populous, or re-shape reality in a manner conducive for political gains.  

One of the things I highly appreciate about the United States, is that in its firmaments lies a deep and abiding reverence for reason lodged by the framers.

This nation is a beautiful offspring of The Enlightenment and the founders an epitome of that period.  Reason is under the hood of this car, not religiosity or ideology.  

I have often attributed the US’ greatness to this when speaking to foreigners like me: Americans are not a sanctimonious people, I often say; they tend to have an affinity for the practical, the “down-to-earth,” the “what works”—and a repulsion for the philosophical, the impractical and the fanatical.

It is for this reason that I am motivated to write this letter—because facts are under attack. Oxford dictionary just added the term “post-truth” to its dictionary, stating said term has had 2700% more popularity since the Brexit vote and the Trump election as the Republican candidate. One can only imagine what has happened since the Trump presidential win.  

A group of people have correctly identified that in western, democratic nations, the way to victory for certain political movements is to undermine facts and to deploy on the masses a barrage of information that is, on the out-set, hard to discern but has the added benefit of bamboozling the precious facts, the descriptions of reality that we should all endeavor to protect and cling to.  

If facts were shares of an important US company (such as GE), then facts are penny stocks in America today.  Like a Zimbabwe currency, facts have been discounted while style and fiction are on the ascendency, thanks to a visual media culture that is moving away from the written word.

Somewhere in this battle lies the present Republican Party, unassumingly delivering a platform to the manipulators.

What I appreciated about what you did in your non-endorsement of Trump (along with other intrepid souls and a handful of conservative media outlets), is that you stood for facts and consequently for its kin—reason.

This is a great country right now. And it has the potential to be greater still, provided its leaders don’t go down the path of lies, delusion and reality manipulation—the known tools of all despots, including the Commies I grew up, from Ethiopia to the former Soviet Union and the satellite nations of yesteryear.  When facts are sacrificed for political gains, then something else is foisted on the masses, which will, sooner or later, eat-up that system, entity or nation. This, too, shall be proven in time—but at great cost.   For confirmation, you only have to observe what takes place outside your borders.

Please understand that this is not in any shape or form an endorsement of Hillary Clinton or the Democratic Party in general.  But as I look to the current American Republic Party and how it seems to have become a conduit for purposeful fiction (the fond term of my childhood Commies was propaganda), I see a party that has negotiated a terrible deal with the facts for political ends.  And that, I believe, is tinkering with the firmaments of this great nation.

I will be looking for such a stand for reason from regional papers such as yours’, who are, I believe, the critical pillars of the American Civilization.

“I Never Thought We’d Face This Much Hatred”: Muslim Persecution of Christians, November 2019

by Raymond Ibrahim

Slaughter of Christians

Syria:  On November 11, Islamic gunmen opened fire on a vehicle known to be carrying Christian leaders.  Two Armenian priests, a father and son, were killed; a deacon was seriously wounded.  ISIS claimed the murders of Father Abrahim Petoyan and Father Hovsep Petoyan.  The Armenians were going to inspect repairs on an Armenian Catholic church that had been earlier damaged in Deir ez-Zor. “We continue to feel the presence of ISIS,” responded the Armenian Catholic Archbishop Boutros Marayati of Aleppo, adding that Deir ex-Zor “is a very important town for us, because it is there that many of our martyrs were killed as they fled the Turkish genocide of 1915. Today there are no Armenian Catholics left there. Undoubtedly, the Turks don’t want us to return, because our presence would be a reminder of the Armenian genocide.”

Turkey: On November 19, in the streets of the city of Diyarbakir, Korean evangelist Jinwook Kim, 41, was stabbed and later died from his injuries. A 16-year-old Muslim was later arrested.  According to the report,

Kim had arrived in Diyarbakir with his family earlier this year and was pastoring a small community of Christians. The assailant stabbed Kim three times: twice in the heart, once in the back. Officials, however, claim that the incident occurred in an effort to steal Kim’s phone. Local believers urge the authorities to investigate the incident as an assassination, rather than an attempt at extortion. Kim was married and had one child, although his second is expected to be born in the coming days….  He had lived in Turkey for five years.

“This wasn’t just a robbery; they came to kill him,” insists another local Christian, who received a death threat the day after this incident:

We always get threats. A brother prophesied a few days ago that they (the government) are going to kick out these foreigners, and probably kill a few Turkish brothers. They are going to cause chaos. They know that I am trying to spread the Gospel, so they may target me too. This may be a sign.

Ethiopia: “Two Ethiopian pastors have been beheaded in Sebeta, near the capital Addis Ababa, in an outburst of violence against Christians” that erupted after a leading Muslim incited his supporters against the government over some supposed infraction against him.  The report adds that “the situation on the ground has become quite challenging for Christians and many churches have been burnt this year. There is also an unverified report that a group of Christians has been forced out of the majority-Muslim town of Ginir, located 303 miles south-east of the capital.”

Nigeria: Muslim Fulani herdsmen continued their murderous raids on Christian communities.  Two incidents were especially notable and identical.  First, in the early hours of November 14, machete-wielding Muslim raiders hacked to death four Christians as they soundly slept in their bedrooms in Agban village, near Kagoro.  All of the slain were farmers and members of the local church.  Ten days later, on November 24, Muslim herdsmen attacked Agom, a Christian village in southern Kaduna state’s Sanga Country, around 4:30 a.m.  There they hacked with machetes an 87-year-old Christian to death and shot another Christian in the head, killing him instantly.  Both of the slain, regular churchgoers, had also been sleeping in their homes.

Cameroon: On November 6 in Moskota, Islamic militants connected with Boko Haram attacked a church where they killed David Mokoni, a retired pastor, as well as a hearing-impaired Christian boy; another pastor was shot in the leg.  Afterwards the militants looted the church, taking even the pastors’ ceremonial robes.  “Boko Haram has been stepping up its attacks on Christian villages in Far North Cameroon in an attempt to establish an Islamic caliphate from north-eastern Nigeria all the way to northern Cameroon,” the report says.  This most recent attack follows a “brutal spate of attacks since late October, by gangs of up to 200 militants, [which] has left eight dead”: “The first of the attacks came on 30 October with the looting of six mainly-Christian villages in Mayo Sava district….  On 31 October, five people were hacked to death when militants armed with axes, knives and wooden clubs stormed the village of Kotserehé. A sixth wounded man later died from his injuries.”  Rebecca, a witness, described the slaughter of a boy in Kotserehé: “He was a 15-year-old adolescent. He was so deeply asleep in his bed that he didn’t hear any of the noise around him. They thrust the blade of the axe so deeply into his skull, to the point we had to use a hammer to get it out of his head.” Many Christians have been displaced by these ongoing attacks and live in “extreme misery,” added another local:  “This is beyond persecution. It is a dramatic situation, plunging thousands of families into a deplorable humanitarian crisis.”

Pakistan: Muslim bakers murdered a teenage Christian coworker and police are covering it up, alleged Sarwar Masih, the father of Akash Masih, the slain 18-year-old:  “My son was an expert at baking and making shawarma and burgers” and his “expertise was liked by the customers.”  As a result, “he faced discrimination and religious jealousy at his workplace. He often complained about the unfavorable situation at the bakery, but he continued working to help his family.”  One day the bakery called the father and said his son was sick and sent to a hospital.  Sarwar rushed there only to learn that his son had already died.  When he contacted police, the bakery threatened him and police were unresponsive, claiming that his son had “committed suicide,” even though signs of torture were visible on his neck and back. “These are delaying tactics to defuse the evidences against the culprits,” Sarwar last reported: “Christians face hatred and discrimination even after their death.”

Separately, on November 16, an armed Muslim mob attacked and drove out the Christian families of a small village in Lahore.  One Christian teenage girl, Sonia Sarwar, was killed and six others were seriously injured in the riot.  “The attack was aimed at displacing around ten Christian families from this area,” Nazir Masih, whose legs were wounded in the attack, explained: “Arshad Kambho, an influential Muslim, wants to grab the property of the Christians.”  Since 2015, Kambho had been trying to steal the Christians’ land; he took them twice to courts and twice the courts ruled in favor of the Christians. “Since then, Kambho has been creating disputes with the Christians to damage them and drag them into an allegation,” said another local.

Attacks on Christian Churches

Syria:  On November 11—the same day that two Armenian priests were killed in a hail of bullets (see above)—three car bombings occurred in the city of Qamishli, which holds a significant Christian population.  One of the bombs detonated near a Chaldean church and killed at least six civilians, as well as damaging the church building; another detonated near an Assyrian Christian owned market, and a third detonated near a Catholic school.  All were claimed by ISIS.

Egypt: On Friday, November 1, a fire broke out in a Coptic church in Shubra.  According to the report, “The fire had started at around 8:30am close to the church theatre hall, in a building adjacent to the church itself. Anba Makary, Bishop of South Shubra, was then officiating Mass on the ground floor for persons with disabilities. They were all safely evacuated.”  In the preceding two weeks, two other churches were torched in October.  Police concluded that the fires in all three cases were due to electrical malfunctions.  Christians argued otherwise, indicating that arson was responsible.

Separately, the civil council of the village of Neda ordered the church of St. George to remove its bell tower, in keeping with Islamic law.  The church, fearing that this is just the first warning of a downward spiral  to closure, made a direct appeal to President Sisi.  According to the November 17 report,

[T]he actual construction of the church has been a slow process. It was originally established in 1911, but it didn’t receive building permits until 2006. Because the village Christians are poor, construction has been slow. They are afraid that the village extremists will stop them from continuing construction without the intervention of the President.  Churches are a contentious subject in Egypt, which is an officially Islamic country. The construction of churches is tightly regulated by the state…

Pakistan:  A Muslim mob demolished a wall and the front door of a Catholic church in the Punjab on the pretext that it was not formally registered.  However, according to church member Naseer Masih, “Muslims do not want the church in the village because they have bad feelings towards Christians.”   The report explains:

“On 4 November 50 policemen arrived in front of the [church] gate and asked Catholics if they had ever had problems praying in church. Christians have responded that they had never had difficulties. Meanwhile, a crowd of 60 people gathered to bring a tractor and hammers. With the tractor they knocked down the door, then the Muslims completed the destruction with hammers.”

Police just stood by and watched.  “[W]e had no warning from the police before the accident,” said Naseer. “The Muslims carried out the destruction and the policemen did nothing against them. This means that they are on their side….  We have prepared all the documents,” he added, concerning the legality of the modest and now ruined church that was built in 2007.

Turkey: According to a November 21 report, “Turkey’s Council of State, the country’s highest administrative court, has recently approved changing the historic Chora Greek Orthodox Church located in Istanbul, currently a museum, into a mosque”:

Commentators say that sets the legal precedent for transforming Hagia Sophia, the very symbol of Byzantine and Orthodox Christianity, which is also currently an official museum, back into a mosque….  The interior of the [Chora] church, which was originally built as part of a monastery complex outside the walls of Constantinople, is covered with some of the oldest and finest surviving Byzantine mosaics and frescoes.

Chora Church’s uniquely old and surprisingly intact artwork was first made in 1315—over a century before the Turkish invasion and conquest of Constantinople in 1453—and includes images such as of Joseph and Mary (above).  All these historically precious frescoes are set to be destroyed in the church’s transformation into a mosque.

France: On Sunday, November 3, a statue of St. Bernadette in the chapel of the St. Florent hermitage in Oberhaslach was found beheaded. Because two churches are reportedly violated every day in France, this bit of vandalism attracted little attention.  According to PI-News, 1,063 attacks on Christian churches or symbols (crucifixes, icons, statues) were registered in France in just 2018.  A separate January 2017 study revealed that “Islamist extremist attacks on Christians” in France—which holds one of Europe’s largest Muslim populations—rose by 38 percent, going from 273 attacks in 2015 to 376 in 2016; the majority occurred during Christmas season and “many of the attacks took place in churches and other places of worship.”  Unsurprisingly, the parish where the beheaded statue was found suffered an arson attack the year before.

General Hate for and Abuse of Christians

Norway: A group of Muslims beat, robbed, and threatened to kill a Christian evangelist if he did not convert to Islam.  According to the report, Roar Fløttum was “preaching the gospel and praying for the sick” on November 27, following a prayer meeting in the church he attends in Trondheim, when he encountered a group of Muslim men.  During their conversation, the Muslims indicated that they had physical pains and injuries.  Fløttum offered to pray for them, they accepted, and he complied.  They said they felt better and urged him to go with them and pray for another of their friends who was also suffering from a foot injury. Fløttum went.  “They were very nice and I couldn’t believe they would deceive me,” he later explained.  They took him to a backyard, pushed him down a cellar staircase, and began to beat and kick him in the face.  They kept him hostage there for about an hour, robbed him of his credit cards and about a thousand kroner (equivalent to about $108 USD). “While they kept me there, they threatened me and said they would kill me if I did not convert to Islam,” recalled the Norwegian. “They wanted me to say some words in Arabic [likely the shahada, “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah,” which, when recited before Muslim witnesses, makes the reciter a Muslim]. I was scared and actually thought they were going to kill me because they said they had a knife and didn’t want witnesses.”

Egypt:  A knife-wielding Muslim man stabbed a Christian family—consisting of a mother and her two sons—and left one of the sons in critical condition. The incident occurred on the evening of Sunday, November 17, in Minya.  When the Muslim man saw the family sitting outside their home, as is customary in Egypt, he began yelling at them to go back inside.  When the older son refused to comply, the man, identified variously as “Ali,” or “Muhammad” went to his nearby home and returned with a knife.  He lunged at the family, stabbing the mother in the head, slicing the younger brother’s face, and stabbing the older brother several times in the gut (images here). A separate report adds that, “Last year, Mohammed attacked another Christian man with a cleaver…. He is known to hate Christians.”  “We can’t get back to the village,” one of the sons last reported.  “Right now, we try to avoid fights and disputes with them. The extremists’ family live in a house which is not far away from us. We will not let them induce us to fight them or anything like that. If we did something like that, we will lose our rights to punish the extremist. We want law enforcement.”

Uganda:  On November 10, Muslim relatives of a Christian father of four young children poisoned and almost killed him for leaving Islam.  Ronald Rajab Nayekuliza, 48, had converted earlier and proceeded to build a church and raise pig livestock.  His brothers, already angered by his conversion, responded by building a mosque near the church, while local Muslims regularly hurled stones at the church during Sunday worship.  Next, his older brother, Anus Wako, began sending threatening messages:  “You rearing pigs is against the faith of our father.  We are from a Muslim family, and our father did not allow the keeping of pigs. While our father was still alive, you were a Muslim; that is why he gave you land to live in, not for the construction of the church. Our family has become a laughingstock to our Muslim neighbors.”  Then, on the morning of November 8, Ronald found six of his piglets slaughtered: “I knew it must be my brothers; that really confirmed my earlier fears. My brothers had threatened me with witchcraft as well as receiving curses from Allah. This has made me live in great fear of my life and that of my family.”  Two days later he attended a memorial for his father, where his brothers and other local Muslims were gathered. Before leaving, Ronald told his pregnant wife that “he was feeling a kind of nausea,” she said.  “Immediately he started to vomit, then followed by diarrhea, with fever and complaining of abdominal pain.” They rushed him to a hospital, where he lost consciousness.  After doctors confirmed that he had been poisoned with a pesticide, police were sent to the brothers’ home: “When the four brothers saw the police vehicle, two of them fled,” a Christian local said. “The police arrested two brothers, Anus Wako and Kalipan Waswa, who were released on bond after four days.” Ronald spent more than a week recovering in the hospital.  “My husband is better but still very weak, with blurry vision and feeling numbness in his body,” his wife last reported.

Pakistan:  On November 10, Muslim arsonists reportedly torched a Christian home in Al-Noor town.  Witnesses saw two motor cyclists who had attended a nearby Islamic rally hurl a packet near where the house first caught fire. “The fire was extremely hot and it melted the stuff inside,” Manzoor Masih, the father of the family explained:

It looks like they used some chemical which turned all the stuff into ashes within no time.  The fire damaged beds, mattresses, furniture, trunks, cloths, crookery, fans, computers, the UPS, and the entire electric system….  For the last six months, different groups keep [sic] pressuring my family to leave this neighborhood and go to a Christian settlement.  However, we never gave into their threats…. I never thought we would face this much hatred for not selling our house.  It’s really heartbreaking and disappointing for a Christian living in this country…

Turkey:  A recreational facility in the town of Dargeçit  which is being referred to as the “Nation’s Garden” is, it was revealed in November, being built atop the graves of Christian and Armenian Christians—both of whom were victims of the 1915 genocide by Ottoman Turkey. “Is it now the turn of our deceased?” responded Evgil Türker, chairperson of the Federation of the Syriac Associations: “This mustn’t happen; we strongly condemn it… Of course, this event reminded us of the past. There had been similar cases in the past….  [T]his is looting. This is proof that the deceased of others [meaning non-Muslims] are not respected…. [T]his mentality has to be stopped.”

Egypt: In order to silence him, a Christian activist and social media blogger who exposes the plight of his coreligionists was arrested and falsely charged with “terrorism.” In response, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) issued a statement in which it “strongly condemns” Egypt’s treatment of Ramy Kamel:

Mr. Kamel is an activist and prominent member of the Maspero Youth Union, advocating for full civil rights for Egypt’s Coptic Christian community and documenting abuses against its members. On November 23, National Security Agency officers stormed his home; confiscated his mobile phone, laptop, and other belongings related to his advocacy work; and took him into custody. One day later, the Supreme State Security Prosecution announced a series of spurious charges against Mr. Kamel, including membership in a terrorist organization, spreading false information, and disturbing the public order.

USCIRF Vice Chair Nadine Maenza elaborated:

USCIRF calls on the Egyptian government to immediately release Mr. Kamel from detention and dismiss the preposterous charges against him. His arrest casts doubt on the sincerity of Egypt’s promises of working toward greater religious freedom; Egypt cannot pledge improved rights and freedoms for Copts and other non-Muslim communities, while at the same time bringing false charges against its own citizens who are advocating for those same reforms.

The USCIRF statement concludes with relevant background information:

Egypt’s Coptic Christians represent the single largest non-Muslim community in the Middle East, likely comprising 10-15 percent of the country’s population of over 100 million. Despite their integral role in Egyptian society and history, they have long faced discrimination and periodic violence for their faith. In its 2019 Annual Report, USCIRF found that although the Egyptian government has made some modest progress toward legalizing informal churches around the country and improving public discourse about Coptic rights, it has taken few steps toward systematically improving religious freedom conditions for vulnerable Christian populations, particularly in rural areas.

Pakistan: The only Christian journalist registered with the Lahore Press Club finally resigned after years of harassment and discrimination from her Muslim coworkers.  Gonila Gill, 38, covered the persecution of minorities since 2002.  In 2014 she married a Muslim journalist, while remaining Christian.  The harassment began in earnest soon thereafter.  Her coworkers “told me that I would never get pregnant until I converted,” while her husband was accused of being an “infidel.”   She finally quit, “owing to the mental torture her colleagues put her through from not converting to Islam” notes a November 19 report.  “Speaking to the media, Gill said people are vile, but no matter what she will not lose faith in her religion.”

About this Series

The persecution of Christians in the Islamic world has become endemic.  Accordingly, “Muslim Persecution of Christians” was developed in 2011 to collate some—by no means all—of the instances of persecution that occur or are reported each month. It serves two purposes:

1)          To document that which the mainstream media does not: the habitual, if not chronic, persecution of Christians.

2)          To show that such persecution is not “random,” but systematic and interrelated—that it is rooted in a worldview inspired by Islamic Sharia.
