JAYAPURA (Café Pacific): The current armed conflict between West Papuan National Liberation Army (TPNPB) and Indonesian Military Forces in Nduga, West Papua, are demonstrated in this video released by TPNPB News.

This video was taken a few months ago in Nduga when Indonesia dropped military personnel in an airborne operation.

On a different occasion, the same helicopter dropped an internationally banned weapon, white phosphorous, in December 2018, and in some different places dropped live bombs, according to TPNPB News.

On 27 January 2018, a war ultimatum was announced by the National Operation Comander of TPNPB, the military wing of OPM armed resistance, Legakek Tellengen in Puncak Jaya.

While kids are fleeing chaos in Haiti, the Dominican Republic is building a wall to keep migrants out. Business is booming for human smugglers on Haiti’s border with the Dominican Republic as Haitians flee the social and economic crisis at home.

Bayyinah Bello Profile:
Bello is the mother of four, grandmother of 10 and great grandmother of 4. She first earned an Administrative degree at New York State University. Then went on to gain a B.S. in Education and an M.S. in Linguistics. Bello taught Arabic at Muhammad University of Islam. She discovered the joy of writing and published several language manuals and children storybooks.

Bello has lived in Liberia, Nigeria and Togo. She’s visited all the West African countries and several others on the continent. Back in the United States Bello worked as a publicist for the Museum of Natural History.

She also founded the ‘Citadelle International School,’ a bilingual school for Primary & Secondary aged children, aiming to aid young Haitians returning home to adapt.

Professor Bello teaches anthropology at the State University of Haiti. She is among the few professional educators to have dedicated her life’s work to the struggle for human rights and dignity for our peoples across the planet. A humanitarian and advocate, Professor Bello continues to contribute time and resources to assist in the development of programs based on a procedure she conceived. It states that the greatest knowledge is the knowledge of Self. Once one has developed the knowledge of Self one has no basis to envy another, to desire that which is not naturally yours, to promote or practice corruption; …one is empowered to generate reciprocity which is the foundation from which springs abundance and prosperity. Professor Bello is fluent in Haitian Kreyòl, French, English, Arabic and Hausa. She is currently working as Professor at the State University of Haiti.

Professor Bello was featured as a leading Haiti scholar and historian in the documentary 1804: The Hidden History of Haiti.
