As much as East Africa has jeweled admirable qualities, civilizations at the mouth of the Nile, and that many legendary people that formed the out wrapping of the pillars of civilization that have lasted thousands of years on through today, unfortunately a relatively few folks, especially for this paragraph, in the region that is formed by the area around the intersection of the Sahel and the Nile, are basically the rotten apples that are really blowing and ruining their people, now, and their people's future.

In looking at the title of this blog post, what is summarily being talked about are the weak handshakes, regardless of whether they actually physically took place or not, between terrorist groups, distributed all over the earth.
There are at this present time, what could be discussed as the salient, well known to the media, or popularly known major ones, such as ISIS, Al Qaeda, and Al Shabab.
The other really bothersome dimension to what the earth is contending with, are politicians all over the earth that play in the handshake game, perhaps for monetary gain, political rise, power, lust for drugs and drug power, ideas about race based power and races rising and falling in greatness, and in some case just flat out wrongdoing and plain misguidance.
Questions are being asked right through here, like, why sue your country's leader the day after a government shutdown that crippled financially thousands of folks that help take care of him/her/them in ways they probably do not even know, finally draws to a close?
Sometimes who people are, really are, has little to do with outward appearance, the picnics they show up at, the business suits they wear, or political office they hold. Some folks are working for forces that have nothing to do with the country they are claiming to be a part of.
As far as a reading list, which is what this blog is supposed to be doing, here's one of the articles in the 2+2+2= what mystery, not to be disrespectful, but if 1+1+1 does not equal 3 in someone's book, then they might need to be on the list of people that need to be checked as complicit in terrorism and a threat to security right on in there with terrorist groups and the pandering fake politicians playing the game for aims some of the time.

It would be different if it was just one incident; the same sign shows up week after week.
Standard history reading 101, the focus of the following Wikipedia article made history, and had numerous ties. Perhaps, for those newer to the field of digesting transnational terrorist group ties, or just readers of the news, 'start here', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_the_Jackal
In 2025, Kashmir is another place, like the western boundaries and regions that may overlap the old Kingdom of Punt, that is currently in the process of being spoiled.
Times after Karbala. Regions near the people of the pure, standards of angelic folkways that many on the earth cannot even access.
Drug of choice in the last few years have shifted from medicines to straight up heroin and hashish. ?...__ numbers like increase if over 1,000% in narcotic use. Addiction problems.
How did that occur? It wasn't all by itself, materialized by a little old lady sitting in the hills that does nothing but play a harp and say prayers.
(Trade. Trafficking. Cultivation.) Who were all they, and where are they?

A relatively few, bad apples, is a startling growing number.
The suggestion is stop it now while it's still a relatively few, or less than the majority, as it appears now, before it's the other way around.
The man that cut off his ear to fit in and be normal, well there is a true story where something like that happened; last thing the earth needs are law abiding individuals thrown in jail for refusal to be drug abusers.
