At least 200 million young girls, often below the age of five, have been subjected to female genital mutilation, the UN says [Xinhua]
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) this week issued a warning that the number of girls subjected to genital mutilation (FGM) will rise dramatically in the next 15 years unless strong measures are taken by key affected states.
There has been a decline in the prevalence of FGM in the past 30 years, the UN says, but not all affected countries have made progress.

Yes, the Syrian government forces are most definitely on the road to final victory over the US/Israel/NATO criminal cabal in Syria...

The BBC's latest production is as absurd as it is transparent and abhorrent. February 11, 2016 (Tony Cartalucci - LD) - Upon reading the increasingly desperate headlines pumped out by the Western media as Western-backed terrorist forces begin to fold under an effective joint Syrian-Russian offensive to take the country back, readers will notice that though the term "moderate rebels" or "moderate opposition" is used often, the Western media is seemingly incapable of naming a single faction or leader among them.

Last week’s game-changing triumph in northern Syria has moved the Russian-led coalition to within striking distance of a decisive victory in Aleppo. After breaking a 40 month-long siege on the cities of Nubl and Zahra, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has encircled the country’s industrial hub and is gradually tightening the noose. Crucial supply-lines to the north have been cut leaving the Sunni extremists and anti-government militias stranded inside a vast, urban cauldron. It’s only a matter of time before these disparate renegades are either killed or forced to surrender.

Despite load shedding, low commodity prices and policy uncertainty, South African mining production grew by 3.3 per cent in 2015 after a 1.4 per cent drop in 2014, according to data released by Statistics South Africa (Stats SA).
[Image: TBP]Stats SA noted that in December 2015 there was a mixed picture as the platinum group metals (PGM) continued their recovery from the strike-hit 2014, while other mining production saw declines in response to low prices that have hurt profits and resulted in job losses as mining companies cut costs.
