Video: Hamas attack on Israel: Is this a Life or Death fight for the existence of Israel?
Some South African supporters of Loving Life asked for my opinion of this war in Israel and what it could lead to. This is my analysis of the Middle East and what I think about this war between Israel and Hamas. I also look at the Syrian Civil war and we take a look at ALL the Arab/Muslim nations from Egypt to Iran and what threats they might pose to Israel. I also discuss American and Russian military power in the region. Can the region go nuclear? I go into quite a lot of political and military analysis of this conflict.


[All this useless peacekeeping. Jan]

Soldiers from 21 SA infantry (SAI) Battalion recently deployed in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) as part of Operation Mistral and particularly those posted to the Beni area have a new base of operations in North Kivu.

The base occupies land 12 km north of Beni and was made available to MONUSCO, the UN mission in DRC, by local chiefs and residents.

Ongoing deterioration of the security situation in the Eringeti, Bambubu-Kisiki, area of North Kivu prompted MONUSCO Command to plan a new base for the area.

Its first occupants are elements of the Doornkop, Johannesburg, battalion which started a MONUSCO rotation as part of the Force Intervention Brigade (FIB) earlier this year. 21 SAI replaced Thohoyandou-based 15 SAI, which fulfilled one component of South Africa’s commitment to UN peacekeeping efforts in the troubled central African country for 14 months.

Taking up occupation of the base this month (February), an officer identified only as base commander Major Chochoe in a MONUSCO statement, said his troops were “warmly welcomed by locals and have collaborated with them without any problems”.

The area has, according to MONUSCO, been targeted more often than previously by ADF rebels leading to the decision to put boots on the ground to ensure safety and protection of civilians in line with the mission mandate.

Bambuba-Kisiki youth leader, Germain Kakule Vutsarana, said: “MONUSCO’s presence brought hope and cohesion has been strengthened between the base and us. We want MONUSCO to redouble efforts to strengthen security in the area”.

Another local official said the security situation in the area “will undoubtedly improve” thanks to the new base and its South African occupants.

White South African Murders page: Murders of Whites from 1996 to 2016
On this page, are collections of the names and details of Whites who were murdered during the period 1996 to 2016. The true number of Whites killed in South Africa since 1994, is stupendous, and nobody has got even a fraction of all the names. But this is the most comprehensive collection that the Boere State Party has currently. My own attorney told me that he thinks 100,000 Whites have been murdered during Black rule.
