Mα τί λένε; Τί πίνουν; Τί τρώνε και δέν μας δίνουν;Τί σκέπτονται;Τί τους διαφεύγει; Γιατί οι καημένοι δεν ακούνε την βοή των γεγονότων;Τί δεν καταλαβαίνουν οι οξυδερκείς ηγήτορες-διαχειριστές του Ηνωμένου Βασιλείου; Πώς τολμάνε κι αναλαμβάνουν τέτοιες δράσεις ακόμα;! Η μολυσματική τους συμμετοχή στην διακυβέρνηση της Γής κι ιδιαίτερα αυτής της ταλαίπωρης Αφρικής , έχει ολοκληρώσει άπειρους κύκλους κακοήθειας εις πολλαπλούν! Είτε συνεχίσουν, είτε σταματήσουν τα σχέδιά τους, δεν θα επιτύχουν τίποτα παρά πάνω απ'ότι τώρα έχουν(... και νομίζουν πώς διατηρούν). 'Αν όμως εξακολουθήσουν, επισωρεύουν στους ώμους την απάντηση της Ύβρεως ...γεωμετρικά φορτισμένης... με ταιριαστές οδύνες...μ.λ.π.

A team of UK Army soldiers
has arrived in Somalia as part of Britain’s plans to deploy hundreds of
troops in several African countries, following a pledge by Prime
Minister David Cameron.
The advance party of 10 soldiers
will reportedly support African Union peacekeeping efforts against the
al-Shabab militant group in the Horn of Africa state.

Cameron announced the British
deployment in a UN event in late September, arguing that bringing
stability to both countries could help ease the migration crisis that is
seeing hundreds of thousands of migrants flooding the European borders.
“If
we can, as peacekeepers, help to maintain order and peace and see
stable development in that country then that’s going to be again less
poverty, less migration, less issues that affect us back at home,” the
premier then said.
The new deployments came amid strong reports
suggesting that some 1,000 British Special Forces have been deployed in
Libya to take back control of Daesh-held oil assets in the country.
London
denied the report, but Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond did not rule
out the possibility of using military force in Libya upon a request by
legitimate authorities.
Libya has been in turmoil since the downfall of former dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
