The Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, has officially disclosed that Canada has no intentions of starting a direct military mission in Mali, even though it is extremely worried about the growing control of al-Qaeda in the country and overall region. Harper made a statement during a joint press conference on Tuesday, that Canada is in dialogue with its allies in the West and hopes to solve issues diplomatically with its friends in Africa.
Harper was joined by the president of the Republic of Benin and chairman of the African Union, Thomas Boni Yayi, who wanted help from the forces of NATO to embattle African forces tasked to deal with Mali. Harper admitted that “obviously we are very concerned about the situation. The development of essentially an entire terrorist region in the middle of Africa is obviously of great concern to everyone in the international community.” While on the other hand, Boni Yayi asserted that “there are also other forces outside the African continent that could contribute to take into account the seriousness of the situation and the resources that are required to implement this.” He added that “we need to react for the simple reason that this issue goes well beyond the scope of Africa, but also we must focus on the fact that the scourge of terrorism is an issue of the entire international community.”
Mali recently went through a military coup last March, which soon ended up allowing a group connected to al-Qaeda to control its north. Boni Yayi alleged that “we need internal revenue collection in order to have more independence.”
In 2009 I received the H1N1 shot (AREPANRIX by GSK GlaxoSmithKline) and had an adverse reaction to the vaccine. I received PERMANENT neurological, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and respiratory symptoms: dizziness, vertigo, irregular heart rhythms, shortness of breath, muscle weakness and pain, and numbness in hands and feet. My physical fitness changed from marathon fit to that of a 70 year old in a matter of days. In 2012 the Canadian Forces advised “it is our opinion that your adverse reaction to the H1N1 vaccine, resulting in a syndrome of complex symptoms, is service related”. It’s unfortunate I had to release from the CF in 2011 and suffer three years of severe symptoms before the CF provcomment_IDed this admission in writing. I wrote Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence, on numerous occasions to resolve this issue and breaches in security protocol but have yet to receive a response.
