The gunman who allegedly killed at least 10 people in a supermarket in a Black neighborhood in Buffalo left a manifesto espousing "White Replacement Theory," a racist conspiracy theory increasingly popular in far-right and ultra-conservative political circles.
\"Everybody on social media does just take everything for a joke.\" She said she did not get any useful information about her missing pet and is constantly at edge wondering if Peep is in pain or worse, dead.
\"Some people love materialistic things and they don't how to value life. I'm not looking for attention or fame, I just want my chicken back.\"
Khan said her mother has been a rock of support and even though she was at first sceptical about posting the missing poster on Facebook, she relented so that \"the person who took Peep will realise just how much that chicken is of value to me.\"
This newspaper decided to not use Khan's image to protect her from further trauma.
The soft-spoken woman was emotional and on the verge of tears as she recalled her time with Peep. She said her pet lived indoors, watched television, and was at her side for most of the day whenever she is at home.

On April 24, she let Peep outside to mingle with her companions, Springs and Browns, two other layers she bought to keep her beloved chicken company. Sometime between noon and 3 pm, Peep went missing and led to a frantic search in the rural community where hunting is a vocation. She could not find any feathers or even a trail of blood in the days that followed but still clings on to hope that someone stole her chicken and may have her pet alive in captivity.
\"Even if she is not alive, I still want her,\" Khan said. She said the first day without Peep was the hardest as she could not eat or sleep.
Every time Khan goes home she is reminded of the emptiness and silence without the happy chirping of her pet.
Last April, Khan was diagnosed with covid19 which knocked her off her feet.
She said Peep helped her cope during the pandemic an

It is no longer surprising that Nigerians hear or read about insecurity in various parts of the country. We have become so narcotised and insensitive to the news of insecurity that when kidnapping ,bombing or attacks on villagers by bandits, terrorists, or other non-state actors happen, unless people were killed, maimed, or taken hostage in […]

PUBLIC Utilities Minister Marvin Gonzales has rejected Princes Town MP Barry Padarath's allegations that the Trinidad-wide blackout on February 16 was caused by the Government's incompetence and by sabotage.
Gonzales described the allegations, made by Padarath at a news conference at the Opposition Leader's Office, Port of Spain on Sunday, as \"absolute hogwash.\"
He also said they were \"bereft of any iota of truth and typical of UNC slanderous behaviour.\"
Gonzales said the Cabinet-appointed committee to investigate the blackout, which he laid in Parliament on April 29, \"debunked all the lies and spin that the UNC was attempting to play on the citizens.\"
The report attributed the blackout to a large fungus-infected Palmiste tree falling on a 12KV line which subsequently fell on a 220KV line. Quoting from the report while speaking in Parliament on April 29, Gonzales said the committee did not find any evidence of sabotage as reason for the blackout.
Gonzales said the committee identified several weaknesses in the management of the response. These included, “ineffective communication with the public, with heavy reliance on the internet and social media, which was negatively impacted by the blackout; the absence of the involvement of the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Management (ODPM); the lack of a systematic approach in the restoration process which led to many unforced errors in the re-energisation process.
One of the committee's key recommendations to improve security, reliability and efficiency of the transmission grid is the construction of another 220 KV circuit from the Union sub-station to the Gandhi sub-station.
Gonzales said, “The construction of this second line is already at an advanced stage with completion scheduled for the first quarter of fiscal 2023.\"
Padarath alleged, however, the blackout was not an act of God.
\"This is an act of incompetence.\" Padarath claimed, \"The report confirms there was massive sabotage. It exposes the real saboteurs.\"
\"The report when we look at it, appears to be incomplete or a cover-up.\"
He said the ODPM was not responsible for what happened after the blackout. Padarath wondered why no adhoc Cabinet committee was formed on February 16 to coordinate efforts to restore power. He said such a committee was formed in 2013 when there was a similar nationwide blackout.
The report said the ODPM last conducted a disaster vulnerability assessment in 2014. That assessment did not deal with power outages.
In a statement, the National Transformation Alliance (NTA), led by former police commissioner Gary Griffith, said the report underscored the need for a National Operations Centre.
While not satisfied with the entire report, the NTA hoped it \"will serve to be the infrastructure on which improvements, in the delivery of service, is built upon, in preparation for the next natural disaster or major incident.\"
