Accuses Health Ministry workers, other state officers of obstructing justice
By Charles Onyekwere
Members of the Akpaka family of Umueze, Nimo, in Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State, have continued to cry out for justice over the mysterious death of their sister, Mrs Rita Ugwuegbulam (nee Akpaka), as well as to seeking explanation over a mysterious abdominal incision later discovered on her body.
The family also accuses certain persons and institutions of plotting tirelessly to obstruct justice in the suspected murder of the deceased.
The petitions obtained by The Trumpet indicate that the entities which the bereaved family are making accusations against the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN), men and officers of the Nigerian Police Force Enugu State Police Command (Homicide Department), Dr S.A.R. Ohayi of Enugu State University Teaching Hospital and Dr Victor A. Osiatuma of Federal Medical Centre Asaba, Delta State.
The deceased, Rita Ugwuegbulam, who was married to one Raymond Ugwuegbulam, was said to have died under suspicious circumstances on May 22, 2015, at her matrimonial home in Enugu.
The bereaved family believes that the husband, Mr Ugwuegbulam, may have had a hand in the death of their sister in view of certain alleged actions and inactions prior to and after her death.
Since then, the bereaved family has relentlessly battled to win justice for her, all to no avail, more than seven years after her death.
The Intrigues surrounding the autopsy had the bereaved family demand for explanations from Ugwuegbulam, regarding what they considered suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of his wife, but he was not forthcoming with any reasonable explanation.
In a letter written by the family, obtained by The Trumpet, Dated May 25, 2015, and signed by the four Akpaka brothers (John, Mike, Chris and Joe), the letter demanded, among other things; that Mr Ugwuegbulam furnish his in-laws with the report of a medical diagnosis which he said had proved that his deceased wife was pregnant instead of having a suspected fibroid growth in her womb.
This includes a copy of a supposed CT scan which he was said to have promised to give to one of his in-laws, Chris, but never did.
The family also requested for explanations as to why their sister was not taken to any hospital during the period when she was sick preceding her death. The writers stated "We would like to know what killed our sister. Since she was never taken to a hospital, everything up to this point is mere speculation."
Believing that their in-law was not willing to offer the demanded explanation, the bereaved family took their next step. "When our brother-in-law would not answer our questions regarding the circumstances surrounding our sister's death, we asked him for an autopsy. When he would not cooperate with us for an autopsy, we demanded for the body to conduct the autopsy ourselves.
On retrieving the body from him, we discovered a crude incision on the corpse. We had no previous knowledge of the incision. We immediately reported the case to the Police Commissioner, Enugu State, for investigation to determine the cause of her death," said Chris, a member of the Akpaka family.
"The family informed that they started suspecting foul play from the moment the autopsy was agreed upon as the police insisted they would appoint the pathologist who would conduct the post-mortem and that the family would not be permitted to bring their own expert even if only as an observer.
"Dr S. A. R. Ohayi of the Enugu State University Teaching Hospital was appointed by the police for the autopsy. However, following the family's insistence, Dr Godwin Molokwu, a physician appointed by the Akpaka family, was allowed to observe the process. The autopsy was eventually conducted on October 16, 2015.
"Nonetheless, the result of the autopsy rather than help resolve the suspicion surrounding Mrs Ugwuegbulam's death, created further suspicion and compounded the intrigues that had been unfolding ".
The family complained that the result did not capture the cause of the deceased's death, which they claimed, was the primary reason for their seeking and paying for an autopsy in the first place. To verify the allegation, a copy of the said autopsy report dated October 27, 2015 and signed by Dr Ohayi was obtained, a close scrutiny of the document showed that information as to the cause of the deceased person's death was conspicuously absent.
But Dr Ohayi has denied the bereaved family's assertion as to the purpose of the autopsy. In a statement of defence filed with the Medical and Dental Practitioners Investigation Panel, he claimed that the family had told him that they were only interested in knowing whether all the organs of their dead sister were present and not what caused her death.
The deceased family, however, challenged the claim, pointing out that it had always been their aim to uncover the cause of their sister's death given the suspicious circumstances surrounding that, and that their intention was always clearly made known to the police, Dr Ohayi and every other person that has been involved with the matter.
A copy of the first petition written by the family to the Enugu State Commissioner of Police through their counsel, L. C. Iguh, Esq, seems to confirm the family's assertion. Dated August 25, 2015, the letter concluded, "With this revelation, my clients suspect that their sister was murdered. This is therefore to most kindly request you. sir to institute an investigation into the cause of my client's sister's death so as to ascertain whether any heinous thing was done leading to her death."
The above also agrees with the assertion in paragraph 15 of the Further and Better Affidavit deposed to by Mike Akpaka on behalf of the Akpaka family wherein he averred that the investigating police officer (IPO), Mrs Rhoda Akpa of the Homicide Department of the force, had informed him before the autopsy that the interest of the police was to find out the cause of death with a view to uncovering possible criminal acts.
Speaking to The Trumpet, a senior police officer with the FCT police command who did not want his name in print averred that any autopsy done under the auspices of the police homicide department is for the sole purpose of unravelling the cause of death. "I am not aware of the matter you are referring to, probably because it happened under a different command, and so cannot confirm the veracity of any claims made. But one thing I can confidently say is that the police homicide department was established for the sole purpose of investigating and unravelling suspected murder cases.
"Any autopsy conducted under its authority is for the purpose of investigating a murder case. "So, I would be very surprised if a pathologist appointed by the same homicide department performed an autopsy in such a way that left out the very key objective the police was pursuing, which is finding out the cause of death," he said.
This was not the end of the intrigues surrounding the report of the autopsy performed on the body of late Mrs Ugwuegbulam. The family also complained of the vagueness of the report regarding which organs of the body were intact or missing. According to the report as authored by Dr Ohayi, a "structure that appears fairly very large" was removed around the uterine wall.
The deceased family expressed their astonishment as to why Dr Ohayi failed to mention the particular "structure" that was removed and challenged him to demonstrate that the said "structure" did not include ovaries and the fallopian tube as suspected by them.
But Dr Ohayi's autopsy report stated that "Organs (of the deceased) are anatomically complete and in their normal (anatomic) positions."
Intriguingly, however, the finding is contradicted by the report produced by Dr Molokwu who observed the autopsy session on behalf of the Akpaka family.
His report dated November 1, 2015 states (in the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs): "I am surprised that the pathologist did not capture the absence of the two fallopian tubes and the two ovaries, which he substituted with 'a structure that appears fairly very large (by the space created) was avulsed from each of the left and right sides of the uterus,' which he described as normal – a subtle way of hiding the truth that the fallopian tubes and ovaries were absent… In my opinion, what happened on autopsy day was a mere exercise that lacks detail that will ascertain the cause of death."
In an affidavit deposed at a Magistrate Court of Anambra State, Abagana, Dr Molokwu gave his account of what had transpired on the autopsy table. In the 11th paragraph, he averred as follows: "That Dr Ohayi brought out the stump of a uterus with left and right incisions marking the position of the two fallopian tubes that were removed and called it complete but could not show me the amnesia (the two fallopian tubes and the ovaries)."
Instructively, Dr Molokwu has alleged that the police and Dr Ohayi had made frantic efforts to exclude him from the autopsy, and even when he was eventually allowed to be in the autopsy room, Dr Ohayi was "uncooperative" all through. But Dr Ohayi has denied these claims, alleging that he was only initially concerned that he was not given any prior information that a doctor was coming to observe the procedure on behalf of the deceased's family.

The family, however, described Dr Ohayi's claim as "a blatant lie" insisting that he was part of the negotiation and the consequent agreement that the family could bring an observer since the police did not accede to their request to bring their own pathologist.
Also speaking, Dr Molokwu gave a detailed account of how Dr Ohayi remained hostile and acted in a suspicious manner all through. "We scheduled the autopsy for 9 am I got there around 8.30 am but was kept waiting by Dr Ohayi till about some minutes past 1 pm I even saw him dilly-dallying with the man suspected to have killed Mrs Ugwuegbulam (nee Akpaka) for about two hours. At some point, I was losing patience… When Ohayi eventually came and the autopsy was about to start, I brought out my ward gown which I had held folded all along. As I started putting it on while walking towards the man (Ohayi), he started shouting 'Who are you? Who are you?' Chris Akpaka's brother told him it was Dr Molokwu, and he became mad shouting "I was not told Dr Molokwu will be part of this…"
After all, said and done, the autopsy session started with Molokwu doing the observation. The medical practitioner, however, told this reporter that the police flatly prevented the photographer procured by the family from taking pictures at the autopsy session but insisted on using their own photographer whose services the police forced the family to pay for.
Dr Molokwu revealed that his greatest shock was, however, to come when Dr Ohayi produced a report that was a complete misrepresentation of facts as witnessed by both of them regarding the missing organs of the deceased. He also revealed that the photographs which the bereaved family was made to pay for were not released to them by the police. This same allegation was also made by the family who stated that the police had told them that they had deleted the pictures.
Dr Molokwu further claimed that he had later, during a phone conversation with Dr Ohayi, appealed to his conscience to produce a report that would reflect the true findings of the autopsy regarding the missing organs, but that Dr Ohayi had asked him "do you want them to kill him?" – referring to Mr Ugwuegbulam, the in-law to the Akpakas, who would be in serious trouble if what was found on the autopsy table became disclosed. Dr Molokwu said his phone was on speak-out during this conversation, hence this implicating statement of Ohayi was clearly heard by Mr Chris Akpaka, the deceased brother, who has as well confirmed this incident to this reporter.
One imaging, two reports:
In the midst of the ensuing confusion, the family's next move was to procure a post-mortem imaging to resolve their confusion. However, this move turned out to add another twist to the episode. The deceased family told this reporter that they had, through their physician Dr Molokwu, requested for a post-mortem imaging but that the report they got from Onitsha Medical Diagnostic Centre Limited showed that what was done on their sister's body was a Thoracoabdominal CT Scan. A signed request form seen by this reporter indicates that Dr Molokwu of Due Care Hospital & Maternity, Oye Agu Abagana, Anambra State, on October 15 2015 placed a request for a post-mortem imaging to be performed on a patient named Rita Ugwuegbulam (nee Akpaka).
But more intriguing was an allegation that Dr Osiatuma had produced two imaging reports containing an irreconcilable contradiction regarding whether all the internal organs of the deceased were intact. This reporter saw two reports dated October 16, 2015, bearing the name Dr Osiatuma V. A. (Consultant Radiologist). One of the reports was without a signature and has in its 3rd paragraph the following statement, "The uterus, ovaries and contracted urinary bladder are also in place."
However, the other report bearing a signature reads in the 4th paragraph: "Both ovaries were not visualized. The fallopian tubes are usually not seen on CT scan and as such cannot comment on it."
But why would Dr Osiatuma write two different reports of a single medical examination? The Trumpet learnt that the second result was produced days after and backdated only after Dr Molokwu had appealed to the conscience of Dr Osiatuma urging him to do the right thing for the sake of the image of the medical profession. A handwritten letter dated October 25, 2015 written by Molokwu to Osiatuma was seen by our reporter.
The writer expressed surprise that the scan report did not capture the calcification of the uterus and absence of the fallopian tube and the ovaries. "It is legal for a consultant radiologist to live to expectation. Therefore, I urge you to examine these slides critically and do a report that will save the image of the medical profession," the letter stated.
The Trumpet sought Dr Molokwu's response to Dr Osiatuma's claim that fallopian tubes are not usually seen via CT scan. He was of the view that the radiologist's choice of words was wrong. "Rather he should have said that it is difficult to see through scan," he submitted, adding, however, that better diligence and application of expertise on the part of Osiatuma would have helped in determining whether the fallopian tubes were intact or not. He mentioned that injecting a dye into the body would have helped to achieve this.
On the difference between post-mortem imaging he requested and the Thoracoabdominal CT Scan performed by Osiatuma, Dr Molokwu explained that a post-mortem imaging is meant to scan the entire body of a deceased and not just the abdomen. He expressed surprise that the Onitsha Medical Diagnostic Centre Limited failed to do a complete body scan despite charging the Akpaka family as much as 90, 000 naira. Speaking further, he noted that the scan report left some serious gaps.
"The report ought to have told us whether the wound in the abdomen occurred before or after death." Emphasising the importance of the post-mortem imaging, he said, "I told Chris (Akpaka) that I didn't want to be involved with the autopsy in Enugu unless a post-mortem imaging would be done thereafter so that whatever I would be seeing I would have a second opinion which anybody can interpret."
Even though Dr Osiatuma was given the opportunity by the Medical and Dental Practitioners Investigation Panel (MDPIP) to respond to allegations made against him by the Akpaka family and Dr Molokwu, he did not deny the accusation that he wrote two contradictory reports. An affidavit deposed to by him at the Asaba Division of Delta State High Court on February 1, 2016, was completely silent on this. Rather, he merely stated in paragraph 5 that he "wrote the report of the post mortem CT scan dated 16th October, 2015 and the findings are my sincere opinion."
No respite from the MDCN
Following their alleged unpleasant experience with the police and the duo of Dr Ohayi and Dr Osiatuma, the Akpaka family decided to take their complaints to the Medical and Dental Practitioners Investigation Panel (MDPIP), an investigative body under the Medical and Dental Practitioners Council of Nigeria (MDCN). A petition sighted by our reporter, dated December 8, 2015, and signed by the family's counsel, D. C. Ononiba, Esq, of Igu, Obuka & Associates, made complaints of professional misconduct against Dr Ohayi and Dr Osiatuma.
However, the family sources who spoke to this reporter stated that what eventually puzzled them was that after all the necessary papers were filed with the Panel, the family were left to wait for almost two years before hearing again from the Panel, who this time informed them that their petition was struck out because their affidavit did not comply with the Evidence Act. This was after the family's counsel had written a letter of complaint to the Panel requesting it to do its job and stop the lingering delay.
The Trumpet sighted a strongly-worded letter dated November 2, 2017, from the chambers of J. O. C. Ifedi & Co., counsel to the Akpakas, calling the Panel's attention to the fact that the parties to the petition had since July 18, 2016, more than one year earlier, completed all the formalities required for hearing of a petition in line with section 9(i) – (x) of the Standing Orders and Rules of Procedure of Medical and Dental Practitioners Investigation Panel, yet the Panel had failed to list the petition for hearing and invite the parties to appear before it with their respective witnesses in line with sections 9(xii) and 9(xiii) of the same guidelines. Endorsement on this letter showed it was received at the offices of the MDPIP on November 3, 2017 by one Mrs M. S. I. Etukudoh.
The petitioners described as shocking the reason given by the Panel for striking out their petition. A letter sighted by our reporter dated November 24, 2017 (Ref: MDPIP/708/53) signed by Dr E. D. Abdu, secretary to the Panel, states "Your petition was struck out by the Panel … because your affidavit dated 8th December, 2015 was found to be grossly short of the requirements of the Evidence Act." The petitioners, however, contend that there is nowhere in the Standing Orders and Rules of Procedure of the Medical and Dental Practitioners Investigation Panel where such compliance with the Evidence Act was mentioned. Our reporter obtained and perused through the said Standing Orders and Rules of Procedure to verify this claim. It was found that no such reference was made to the Evidence Act under section 9 (Investigation Procedure) or under any of all the other sections. "We believe they struck out our case late in the process after they discovered the evidence is stacked up against their colleagues and classmate whom they were bent on exonerating and that their defences weren't enough," Mr Chris Akpaka said.
The Trumpet sought the opinion of Mr Joel Olokojobi, a Lagos-based legal practitioner, on the position of the Evidence Act regarding proceedings before a body like the MDIPP. His opinion is that the Medical and Dental Practitioners Investigation Panel is an administrative fact-finding body to which the provisions of the Act do not apply. He referred our reporter to section 1(2) of the Evidence Act which provides that the Act shall apply only to judicial proceedings before any court established in Nigeria. "The MDIPP is not a court, it is not even a quasi-judicial body. Again, the Evidence Act does not even apply to all courts as seen in the paragraph C of section 1(2) which excludes the Sharia Court of Appeal, the Customary Court of Appeal, the Area Court and the Customary Court from the application of the Act unless the President or the Governor of a State gazettes an order to that effect. So, I don't see any reason why a petition before the MDIPP should be struck out on grounds of non-compliance with the Evidence Act, especially as its rules of procedure do not provide for this requirement," Olokojobi submitted.
However, counsel to the petitioners, Jude Ifedi, Esq, has insisted that even if the said provisions of the Evidence Act were to apply in this matter, their petition was still not defective by virtue of the Further and Better Affidavit deposed to by the petitioners on July 14, 2016, which complied with the requirements of the Evidence Act. He contended that the initial affidavit dated 8th December, 2015 must be read conjunctively and not disjunctively with the petitioners' complaint letter of the same date, and that such reading would have revealed that the affidavit was merely part of the complaint letter and not an affidavit in the sense intended by the section 9(ii) of the Standing Orders and Rules of Procedure of Medical and Dental Practitioners Investigation Panel. He quoted the said section 9(ii) which states that "on receipt of any allegation of professional misconduct, the complainant shall be requested to put his allegations in the form of an affidavit," arguing, therefore, that no affidavit was required at the time one files a complaint but that such is requested only after a complaint has been lodged. This, according to him, implies that "the said verifying affidavit of 8th December, 2015 could be seen as mere surplusage." Barr. Ifedi, hence, contended that the Further and Better Affidavit of the petitioners ought to have rightly replaced the verifying affidavit. "It is curious that Dr Abdu's letter of 24th November 2017 (communicating the striking out of the petition) … made no reference at all to the said further and better affidavit of Mr. Mike Akpaka which ought rightly to replace the verifying affidavit of 8/12/15. What then… is the status of the further and better affidavit?" he queried.
MDIPP scribe under scrutiny
Confronted by what seems like unrelenting foul play around their petition, the bereaved family has been pointing an accusing finger at the Secretary of the Medical and Dental Practitioners Investigation Panel (MSIPP), Dr Enejo D. Abdu. They alleged that he had all along constituted a cog in the wheel of justice. They have accused him of deliberately causing a delay in disposing of their case as well as other underhand tactics to frustrate justice. Mr Chris Akpaka recalled: "In January, 2016, following the failure of the investigation panel to communicate to us weeks after we filed out petition, I got our lawyer, Ononiba, to call the Secretary of the panel Dr Abdu. The Secretary told him no action had been taken on the case. He asked our lawyer not to contact anybody else but him on the case since he was the only one to give him the correct information.
"After waiting for some time without still hearing from them, we reached out to some persons within and outside the MDCN including one Dr George Okpagu, who around early February, 2016, advised us to file the same petition again, this time through their Lagos office, so that his friend who was the Deputy Registrar there in Lagos and former Secretary of the panel would minute on it and forward it to Abuja. Curiously, it was only after we did this that the Secretary claimed Dr Molokwu, our key witness, was not yet contacted because the panel did not have his contact.
This was surprising because Dr Molokwu has always been a registered medical practitioner and renews his licence every year. Again, it is puzzling that the Secretary, Dr Abdu, who spoke with our lawyer on phone the previous month, did not mention to him that they were looking for Dr Molokwu's contact.
"However, it was around March 2016 that Dr Molokwu told us that a courier service contacted him to tell him his letter was addressed to Umunna Street Onitsha, an address he never used or lived at. Incidentally, the said Umunna street address happened to be that of Dr Osiatuma and Onitsha Diagnostic Centre, who are also being accused in our petition. This heightened our suspicion of manipulations and foul play.
"We were further perplexed by the fact that the panel was unusually patient with Dr Ohayi who waited till about the end of April 2016 to reply to our petition having been served since February 25, thus violating the 30 days maximum time allowed for such in the rules of procedure. Unbelievably, there was no consequence for this. Worse still, the said late reply came only after we started asking questions."
Mr Akpaka alleged that Dr Abdu must have done all he did simply to shield his friend from facing punishment for his unprofessional conduct. "We later learned from an unofficial inside source that the Secretary Dr, Abdu had been talking to Dr Ohayi on the phone from the time the case was filed and that the two were classmates. This strengthened our belief that he has been using his position to obstruct justice in order to save the head of his friend, Dr Ohayi," he stated.
Petitions to higher authorities
Faced with what they saw as deprivation of their constitutional right to a fair hearing by the MDPIP, the Akpaka family wrote petitions to higher authorities accusing the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) of conspiracy and requested for an investigation into their handling of their matter. Also accused in these petitions were Dr Osayi, Dr. Osiatuma, and officers of the Nigerian Police Force, Enugu State Command.
"When MDCN struck out our petition for trumped up and frivolous reasons, we petitioned the higher authorities viz: The President, the National Assembly, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, the National Human Rights Commission, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Justice, the ICPC, and the IG of Police," Chris Akpaka told this reporter. Continuing, he revealed, "Our petitions got lost at the Ministry of Health, the SGF office, the ICPC, and others. We discovered this unexplainable loss after we didn't hear from the offices we petitioned. We then filed complaints for missing petitions to the Ministry of Health and the SGF. We also wrote a complaint for the missing petitions at the ministries to the President."
This reporter sighted copies of several letters and reminder letters addressed to the above institutions and persons by the petitioners. These correspondences, signed by counsel to the Akpaka family, had their subject matter centred around the family's complaints against the MDCN, Dr Osayi, Dr. Osiatuma, and officers of the Nigerian Police Force, Enugu State Command. Each of the letters bears an endorsement showing when it was received by the institutions to whom it was addressed.
A couple of response letters from some of the institutions acknowledging their receipt of the petitions were also seen by this reporter. Also sighted were three letters (dated December 9, 2019, July 29, 2020, and September 24, 2021, respectively) written by the Ministry of Health to the MDCN requesting that it respond to the allegations made by the Akpaka family. According to the family, these letters were, to the best of their knowledge, not replied to.
"In 2019, we found out through informal channels that the Ministry of Health, after we filed a complaint for missing petition, assigned the case to a committee who in turn sought the recommendations of their legal department. We succeeded in tracing the case file to the legal department. The file has the reference number: TER/DM/DHS/004 and was dated June 7, 2018. I was able to talk to the lawyer assigned to give the recommendations, Barrister Emmanuel Ochum, who told me the file was awaiting a recommendation requested by a committee. But soon after, this lawyer left the ministry. We still don't know what happened to the recommendations or with the committee. These are part of the questions that need to be asked," Chris Akpaka stated.
He informed that just recently, in June 2022, the family had made another effort to trace the file, and file them to the office of one Mr Ejike in the legal department, but that he unexplainably became hostile, forcing them to abandon the search.
Continuing, he said, "The National Human Rights Commission closed our case without our knowledge. The lawyer to whom the case was assigned was elusive and we have reasons to believe that she was highly compromised. The lawyer, Jennifer Suogo Aga, said they wrote us letters warning that they would close the case and another letter after the case was closed. We didn't receive any of it. We repeatedly requested for copies of the said letters and they wouldn't give them to us till this date. They are our letters and we still want copies of them. They later told us they have referred our case to their Enugu office which we find very suspicious because our main defendant is MDCN which is there with them in Abuja. We see that move as a ploy to kill the case."
Regarding their petition to the Ministry of Justice, he said, to the best of the family's knowledge, no action has been taken by the ministry since acknowledging receipt of their petition in 2019.
It was at the National Assembly that the petitioners got what seemed then like some ray of hope for justice. The family's petition was treated at the hearings of the House of Representatives Public Petition Committee, and consequently, a resolution was passed on the floor of the House.
The Trumpet has obtained a resolution (NASS/CAN/105/Vol.25/484) dated September 11, 2019, and signed by the Clerk of the National Assembly, M. A. Sani-Omolori, communicating this resolution to the MDCN. The correspondent addressed to the Chairman of the MDCN stated, "The House of Representatives on Thursday 39 May, 2019 debated on the above subject matter (petition by the Akpaka family) and consequently resolved that 'the House should refer this matter to the Medical and Dental Practitioners Board for further investigation to determine the issue'." Endorsement on the letter shows that it was received by the MDCN on September 17 2019.
The petitioners are, however, saying that they have never heard anything by way of a follow-up from the National Assembly. "Now that the MDCN seemed to have ignored the resolution, we need to find out if the National Assembly has done anything to compel them to act as directed," said Chris Akpaka.
The authorities keep mum:
As a way of further verifying the claims of the Akpakas, The Trumpet sent written enquiries to five of the authorities petitioned by the family to get their reactions to the allegations that they have failed to harken to their cry for justice. The enquiries were sent to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Justice, and the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Enquiries were also sent to the duo of the Chairman and the Registrar of the MDCN seeking an update on the "further investigation" which the National Assembly mandated the Council to carry out on the Akpaka family's petition.
Nonetheless, more than two weeks later, none of the authorities has furnished any response to the inquiry. Only the office of the SGF and the Ministry of Health acknowledged receipt of the enquiry seven days after it was sent. An email from the SGF promised that "your request will be submitted for necessary action." Nothing else has been heard from it since then.
As for the Ministry of Health, this reporter received a call from one Dr Ogbonna N. Aruma who introduced himself as a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist. He acknowledged receipt of the reporter's enquiry to the Minister but complained that some of the documents referenced in the enquiry letter were not attached. This reporter replied that copies of those documents should be in the records of the Ministry since they originated from it. Aruma, however, kept insisting that the reporter should have attached every necessary document and also give details of the issues the Akpaka family are complaining of.
He claimed that he was still new in the Ministry and that the issue in question was completely foreign to him, even as he insisted that no one is trying to cover up any wrong done by anybody. This reporter reminded him that he is merely a journalist who is working based on information and documents at his disposal and that it is not his duty to refresh the memory of the Ministry on an issue that had since been formally reported to it and which it had commenced its investigation into. "My interest is merely to find out the status of the investigation. The Ministry should have its record of all these things and simply refer to it and respond," this reporter told him.
But to clear all doubts, The Trumpet still went ahead to pull all the requested documents together as a single PDF file, summing up to 29 pages, and sent to the Ministry's official email address as well as to the personal WhatsApp inbox of Dr Anuma. The documents were: three acknowledgement letters from the Ministry to the Akpaka family following their series of petitions to the Ministry, three letters from the Ministry to the MDCN requesting its response to the petitions against it, and a copy of the petition by the Akpaka family to the Ministry.
A cover note that accompanied these documents contained the following clarification: "As a journalist, I am getting involved in this matter only to the extent of investigating to let the public know the truth. I have spoken to several persons/institutions concerned and studied several documents related to this matter and right now I am trying to get the Ministry's side of the story, which only the Ministry can tell having been involved with this matter for over four years."
No reply came from the Ministry as at the time of going to press. Dr Anuma also did not acknowledge his receipt of the documents even though he had opened the reporter's WhatsApp message as indicated by the blue ticks that appeared almost immediately the message was sent at 11 minutes past 3 pm.
Endless wait for justice:
For seven years, it has been for the Akpaka family an endless wait for justice. Family sources told this reporter that the body of their sister, Mrs Rita Ugwuegbulam, has continued to languish in a mortuary as a result of their failure yet to resolve the suspicions surrounding her death. This reporter enquired about where the corpse is being preserved but was told by the family that they have chosen not to disclose the location.
"We believe we are a victim of conspiracy and corruption. We are being double-crossed at every step of the "We want to bring our ordeal to the public domain… We're trying to get those higher authorities to take action against MDCN particularly and others mentioned in the petitions we wrote to those higher authorities.
"We want those higher authorities to do their job by investigating and concluding their investigation as soon as possible," Chris Akpaka appealed.

After several years of successfully conducting physical honesty experiments across the country, Honest Tea came to Carrot to devise a way to add a social component.
Carrot created a two-part digital honesty experiment to both test the honesty of Facebook users and to present the subsequent data in an interesting way.
During Phase 1, Carrot created a Facebook application, "The Honest Tea Pact," to house the experiment. After authenticating via Facebook, users agreed to share a piece of content in exchange for an Honest Tea coupon (examples below). Honesty was then measured by whether the user actually completed the share in exchange. (Users received a coupon regardless of whether they shared a coupon or clicked 'cancel').
During Phase 2, Carrot analyzed the data collected during the Facebook experiment and noted correlations between honesty and user data. We then took these correlations and displayed them as both individual content pieces and as a summarized infographic on Honest Tea's National Honesty Index microsite.
The Facebook app received over 20,000 authentications in a 24 hour period, resulting in over 18,000 coupon downloads and millions of data points to sift through and correlate with honesty.
During the first month, the microsite received over 600,000 unique visitors who spent an average of two full minutes on the site. Even more importantly, people really took their time exploring the data we collected, visiting over two pages during each browsing session. Throughout the campaign, content was shared over 4.7k times, across Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter.
The social addition to the annual experiment not only delighted Facebook fans, but also caught the attention of media outlets such as NBC Nightly News, The Today Show, USA Today Online and CNBC Squawk Box.

Weekly Featured Image - how to resolve ties?
In contest for Weekly Featured Image of September 5th, two top entries were tied with equal upvote counts (when including late votes). Given the number of quality of images in last weeks, I suspect some week we might run into a tie again.
Currently, the rules of contest say nothing on handling ties. From chat transcript, it seems that in this case, winning image was chosen randomly, not disclosing what was "randomness" based on - a coin-flip, random number generator, or personal preference?
Since the image should be chosen by community, not by randomness, perhaps we should have a rule on how to resolve ties in case two or more images have the same number of upvotes at voting deadline.
What rule would be fair and feasible to check against?
If the community voted close enough for a tie, I don't think it matters how random the randomness was, IMO. But we do need to come up with something. Normally, I've been saving a vote to cast at the end (but before the official time) to avoid the issue, but I was on holiday.
– rfusca
Using personal preference as source of randomness would give the moderator an extra vote, thus not making it community chosen any more.
– Imre
Well, don't forget the moderator is part of the community and is entitled to their vote. I really think we're making a mountain out of a molehill here in regards to the current situation...nothing was malicious. A tie indicates that the community is equally distributed between the two... We can come up with a solid solution to a tie, but lets not make this into some bigger issue than it is.
@rfusca of course the moderator can use his votes during the voting period, just like everybody else; I was talking about possibility to choose to accept a tied entry he might personally prefer, thus giving unique privilege of extra "voting" after voting period. I'm not saying there was anything malicious going on - I believe there wasn't, but I do think we could have a more transparent way of handling such cases in future and I'm seeking if the community feels that way too. If you have a good solution, please feel free to post an answer.
As far as randomness goes, its however StackExchange chooses to sort same-rank answers. As far as I understand, StackExchange uses a SQL Server backend, and SQL Server does not make any effort to produce deterministic results in the absence of any additional qualifying ORDER BY factors. We basically get the order that SQL Server gives us, and that tends to change from one page load to the next. That said, from what @rfusca said, when he accepted the winning entry, there was no tie.
I'd prefer, for simplicity sake, that a mod just save a vote to act as a tie breaker. If they go to put it up and there's a tie, they simply cast their vote for the one they like. That way there's nothing random and its still ultimately the community that decides (since the mod is part of the community). Nothing complex and nothing that should change voting or submitting habits.
rfuscarfusca
If the moderators agree that they can be decisive voters between eventual top entries in exchange of giving up early voting, then this could be a solution indeed. I know you're not going to like it, but an early vote has more weight since people tend to like more what other people seem to like (Cialdini's "Influence" explains it nicely), so early voters have the power of giving others hints on what should reach the top at all.
@Imre - Sure, I'm well aware of the 'follow the crowd' syndrome. But its not something to promote if we can help it. Natural Early voting may have more influence, but we're not officially giving it more weight.
As far as a mod reserving their vote, I can certainly do that. Its not a big deal for me. As for making the contest more fair from a voting standpoint, we have some ideas for that, such as having two phases: submission phase and voting phase. Start one thread a week early to "preload" the content...votes on any entries in this thread are meaningless. Start a second thread, a mod adds all the submitted entries from the submission phase (including links to the profile of each submitter) and close the topic. Answers in closed topics can still be voted on, but no more answers can be added.
I'm a little embarrassed to see what a hot potato this has become after my photo was pipped to the post this week. Let me add a few comments of my own:
Let's not forget it's just a fun competition on a website: no prize money involved, just a little glow of pride for the winner. Let's keep it fun!
Thanks to @rfusca and others for doing all this in their spare time. I used to run a big Flickr group and it was great fun until people started arguing and complaining about all sorts of trivialities, and seemed to assume it was my full-time job to mediate. So I have a lot of admiration for people who get stuck in and organise stuff for others. It can be a thankless task!
Personally I'd be happy with the moderator casting a deciding vote, or going on the time of the last vote, or tossing a coin - whatever's easiest for the mods.
Mark WhitakerMark Whitaker
Thanks :) I agree, we need to not blow anything out of proportion.
As a side note, don't forget there is a Photo.SE Flickr group for any entries :)
– Rowland Shaw
My own idea:
In case of a tie, the image that received its last vote earlier, is declared winner.
The time of receiving votes on a post can be checked from author's reputation page.
This follows the logic used in auctions: an earlier bid is a stronger bid and has to be trumped, not merely called, to win. Similarly, a vote cast early shows slightly stronger support than a (hesitated?) vote cast later, and must be trumped to win.
UPDATE: since a user's reputation history is no longer visible on Meta, this solution is no longer possible.
I'd rather not encouraging early voting like that - it may create an issue around early entries that we currently don't have.
@rfusca edited to make it more clear - the last vote received would count. Entries added in the last couple of days are already known to have low chances of winning.
I understood the last vote. I just don't think the time frame a vote was placed in should change the weight that it holds.
This was the solution I thought of too. And +1 for the poker analogy! :)
– Mark Whitaker
I think we should simply declare them both winners and run them for the next two weeks, with the order selected at random or by Imre's method.
The next contest can be either open for voting longer, delayed in start, or run as normal but with a week delay before the winner is shown. (That would then allow a vacation week or something later sometime.)
Well, a tie either means the top images are both great, or they are both equally uninspiring. Just because we lucked out this time with two great ones doesn't mean we will always want to draw the results out for two weeks ;-)

The Innocents Abroad
Mark Twain wrote a series of travel letters whilst on a tour of Europe and the Middle East in 1867 with a group of American 'pilgrims'. These letters later formed the basis of The Innocents Abroad. Journeying from New York to Egypt via France, Spain, Italy, Morocco, Russia, Turkey and the Holy Land, he observed and lampooned his companions with typically caustic and incisive commentary. The local people he encountered fared little better. The resulting fresh, irreverent account of the New Barbarians' encounter with the Old World satirises the sentimental travel books popular in the mid-nineteenth century. In frequently humorous, sometimes grotesque, detail, Twain records the day-to-day ups and downs of discovering the truth about people and places, whilst pillorying those tourists who rely on guidebooks rather than their own impressions to define their experiences. Endlessly comic and entertaining, The Innocents Abroad remains one of the most celebrated and influential travel books ever written about Europe and the Middle East by an American.

Something like select from my database but in log.
I needed config file log4j.properties for this. Help me please.

A: It in fact has little relation with log4j.
What you should modify is the toString() function Proposal , change that to the format you want. something like:
return header + "," + author ...

And you can choose a log4j.properties on the internet  at random, it will work. Only to remember change the ConversionPattern with only  "%m%n", so you will not get unnecessary information.

Q: Integrate System.Data.SQLite.dll with Unity I'm trying to integrate the System.Data.SQLite dll (with SQLite.Interop) to my project because Mono.SQLite is really limited (no password, no backup database...).
But can't make it work I always get DllNotFoundException on SQLite.Interop.Dll.
Should I build SQLite.Interop for Win32 and System.Data.SQLite for .NET 2.0 ? or Unity 3.5 with full subset ?
I've tried both without success and can't find any article on google on how to integrate it.
The FAQ is pretty short : https://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/faq.wiki#q6
Should I use "Precompiled Binaries for Mono on POSIX (.NET Framework 4.5.1)" ? But I though Unity only supported 2.0 version of .NET ? or the .NET 2.0 precompiled files ?
Thank you,

News Campus News New program focuses on empowering women on campus
New program focuses on empowering women on campus
Abbey Block
A group of 27 female students took part in a 24-hour leadership retreat for Lead NOW.
A new TCU program is trying to eliminate self-doubt in women who want to be leaders.
The TCU leadership center has developed a new program called Lead NOW (Network of Women) to empower women and help them gain confidence as leaders.
According to a new Pew Research Center survey on women in leadership, most Americans believe women and men are equal in key leadership traits such as intelligence and capacity for innovation. Many even say that women are stronger than men in terms of being compassionate and organized leaders.
Women have outnumbered men on college campuses since 1988. They hold almost 52 percent of all professional level jobs, have earned at least a third of law degrees since 1980 and almost half since 2001, according to the Center for American Progress.
Women made up a third of medical school students by 1990, and since 2002, they have outnumbered men in earning undergraduate business degrees.
But females continue to lag behind men when it comes to representation in leadership roles.
Judith Warren, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, said in a broad range of fields, the presence of females in top leadership positions—as equity law partners, medical school deans and corporate executive officers—remains stuck at a mere 10 to 20 percent.
Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's chief operating officer, said "women systematically underestimate their own abilities."
Dede Williams, director of the TCU leadership center,said these patterns of self-doubt are demonstrated on TCU's campus, where women make up 60 percent of the undergraduate population.
"It's harder for women on this campus to get an equal leadership position or spot in an organization, even though they could be at the same quality," said Courtney Heier, junior kinesiology and movement science major. "For a program that shoots for equal numbers of female and male members, there is less of a chance that a female will get an acceptance than a male, even when they aren't competing against each other."
Despite the rejection that some women face, Heier said everyone "has the potential to be a leader."
"I've gotten plenty of rejections from leadership roles," Heier said. "Rejection for anyone causes self-doubt and comparison."
"There is a difference between how our student female leaders approach things and how our male leaders approach things," Williams said. "Research shows that there's a lot more self-doubt with women."
Heier worked with the TCU Leadership center to develop Lead NOW. The program, which is open to first-year female students by faculty nomination, provides opportunities for female students who want to develop confidence and leadership skills.
Lead NOW kicked off its program with a 24-hour retreat in Weatherford, Texas. During the retreat, 27 female students participated in both large and small group sessions to explore themes such as identity, resilience, relationships and leadership.
Heier said the most valuable part of the retreat was time spent in small-group discussion.
"There was a lot of vulnerability there," Heier said, "and an ability to open up and be willing to share tough experiences."
The Lead NOW program and its retreat were created to encourage female students to recognize their own unique strengths and develop confidence, Williams said.
"We really wanted to have an avenue for young women to have a community where they could talk about themes of their own leadership styles," Williams said. "We hope that they grow in their confidence levels."
Emi Gomez, a psychology and Spanish double major and member of Lead NOW, said the retreat helped her to learn more about her abilities as a female leader.
"I learned more about myself and how I can separate my leadership abilities from who I am as a woman," Gomez said. "I do not feel inferior for being a woman or a minority."
After attending the retreat, Gomez said she wants to expand her leadership experiences in the future.
"By the time I graduate and continue on with my education, I want to make an impact on the TCU campus, Fort Worth and Global Community," she said.

Home Pop Culture Heath Campbell, white supremist announces he and his fiance plan to call...
Heath Campbell, white supremist announces he and his fiance plan to call their baby Eva Braun if it's a girl.
Father who named his son Adolf Hitler turns up to custody hearing wearing nazi uniform.
Self proclaimed white supremest and Nazi, Heath Campbell who is currently fighting visitation rights of children taken away from him on account of what he reckons are his controversial belief systems is expecting a baby with his 22 year old fiance Bethanie Rose Zito.
What though makes this upcoming baby birth interesting is that Heath Campbell, 40 and his fiance plan to call the child Eva Braun (who was the girlfriend of Nazi dictator, Adolf Hitler) if the child ends up being a girl, this on top of a child Campbell already named Adolf Hitler which was eventually taken away by New Jersey state on the grounds of child endangerment.
Asked if the child turns out to be a boy, Heath Campbell went on to tell that he wasn't necessarily sure what name he would use but he was leaning towards Rommel. Erwin Rommel for those who don't recall was a top ranking Nazi official during World War II, who was eventually accused in a plot to overthrow Adolf Hitler before eventually committing suicide.
The name deliberation follows after Heath Campbell this past Sunday got down on one knee in front of a water fountain in Easton, Pennsylvania, dressed in full Nazi regalia to pop the question to his girlfriend. Needless to say Bethanie went on to say yes.
The popping of the question followed an incident earlier this month when the couple showed up in the same outfits and matching swastika tattoos on their necks to a court hearing where Campbell tried to regain custody of one of his children.
Interestingly, Campbell who already is the father of eight kids to four women and lives off government benefits went on to tell that the latest pregnancy was a surprise, but not an unwelcome one, as he believes it is all in God's grand plan for white supremacy.
Reflected Campbell: '(Bethanie) was on the pill, but we don't believe in abortions. That's murder. Maybe God just doesn't want the white race to die.'
The mother-to-be already has one son but he was removed from her custody.
Campbell has four children with his third wife – named Adolf Hitler Campbell, seven, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell, six, Honzlynn Jeannie Campbell, five, and 19-month-old Hons Heinrich.
All four children have been removed from their father's custody amid domestic violence allegations. The children's mother, Cathy Bowlby who has since parted ways with Campbell has since reneged her rights to the children.
That said, Campbell isn't taking any chance this time and has constructed a plan to make sure this child stays with him.
'In July, I'm shipping [my fiancée] to a neo-Nazi compound down South,' he went on to tell the NY Daily News. 'There's no way in the world they're going to find out where this child is.'
Speaking about Campbell, Bethanie said: 'He's peaceful. He's calm. He's basically all about family, and that's what I like.'
The couple go on to tell that they met a year ago at a meeting of Campbell's neo-Nazi group.
Family or not, Heath Campbell's ex-wife Cathy Bowlby went on to claim last week that her former husband was a wife-beating tyrant who was obsessed with the devil.
During their three-year marriage, she went on to tell that Campbell tried to name their first-born Lucifer because he believed he was the devil. But Cathy said she talked him out of it and suggested he take their father's name instead.
Bowlby also went on to tell that Campbell "… believed he was the devil reborn to take over the world. He'd say, "I believe in the devil. I worship the devil. I am the devil."'
Nevertheless Campbell petitioned the court last week to be allowed to see his 18-month-old son Hons. Although acknowledging he has given three of his four children with Bowlby Nazi-inspired names he believes he is fit to be a father and has never abused them. Rather he has gone on to opine that the children were really taken away from him because of concerns some might have because of his ideological belief system. A belief system although unpleasant with most, is not unconstitutional to have in the US as long as one does not actively act out to hurt or discriminate against those that one may choose to view against their belief system.
At the time of the hearing, Campbell went on to tell NBC10 the following: 'I'm going to tell the judge, I love my children. I wanna be a father, let me be it. Let me prove to the world that I am a good father.'
That said many went on to wonder how good a father Heath Campbell necessarily makes when choosing to turn up to court in a full Nazi uniform and a belief system that would almost surely expose any children in harms way and constant harassment at the hands of society who may or may not choose to agree with a view of the world that has categorically caused discrimination, displacement and even death.
A follow-up hearing has been scheduled for later this month.

How/where did the hookup BEGIN? What led to it? Was planning involved? Who instigated it? I instigated it. I was turned on by the fact that I was essentially in charge of him. He took his orders from me at work. I approved his work or rejected it, and I could make him and his staff redo it. I'd touch him gently when he'd pass me my drawings. I got a positive response. He'd shiver and tell me he is sensitive, so I became more brazen. One day while he was preparing construction check sheets for my approval in the office I asked him "wouldn't you like to be in charge of me?" He didn't seem to grasp the naughtiness behind the question but my intense starring made him somewhat uncomfortable. Then I just plainly asked, "how big is your dick though?" He said he could show me. The very next afternoon (after getting some sleep)… he said he liked that I knew what I wanted, and I said it would be nice if he'd be in charge for a change.
What happened DURING the hookup? What sexual behaviors took place (e.g., oral, vaginal, anal, kinky stuff)? How did you feel during it? How did they behave toward you? Were they a good lover? What did you talk about? How did it end?
We started by kissing in the lounge and slowly walking to his bedroom. He was a great kisser. We undressed each other while kissing and standing. He had me pressed against the wall. I undressed him fully, but wouldn't let him take off my panties just yet.
He had a thick long dick that instantly made me wet at the first sight of it. It was probably the second biggest dick I've been fucked by. I whispered in his ear "daddy your dick is so beautiful… please let me suck it." He gently pushed me to my knees and I grabbed his dick with both my hands. Slowly, I licked the tip with my tongue, running my tongue down the shaft then coming up and sticking his whole dick in my mouth. He moaned as I moved up and down. Then, I held the shaft in my hands while gently stroking my head back and forth. Without warning, I shoved it down my throat and he let out a deep groan. When he'd had enough he lifted me to the bed, took off my panties, and grabbed a condom. The look on his face told me I was definitely about to get it.
He pushed his thick dick into my tight pussy and fucked me really hard from the back. I called him daddy and he'd smack my ass. His strokes were hard and deep. He stretched me as I've never been before. For round two, he fucked me while we were both standing, with him behind me pulling my arms back and calling me a slut. After he came a second time, he took the condom off and told me to suck his dick again. I loved sucking his dick. Especially when I could taste his cum. We only stopped one hour before our shift began. We had the greatest shifts after that with many sexual innuendos daringly shared around the staff. We'd fuck during the day, him taking charge of me. Then, we'd work the night shift, me being in charge of him.
It definitely was the best fuck I've had so far.
What happened AFTER the hookup? How did you feel about it the next day? What are/were your expectations/hopes for the future with this person? How do you feel about them now? We continued fucking for a while. I discovered that a few of the girls he worked with had a thing for him and I absolutely loved that. I was secretly enjoying what they wished they could have. We parted on the best terms. We fucked in a few mall parking lots back in JHB but I decided I needed to get back to being exclusive with my boyfriend. I still think of him every now and then and consider messaging him. Maybe one day I'll give in.
What were your motives for this hookup? Fun, pleasure, horniness
To whom did you talk about the hookup? How did they react? My cousin. We talked about it over a bottle of wine and she was surprised that I had done it, but we both enjoyed the details.
What was the BEST thing about this hookup? I have this wild side that I hide very well. You'd never suspect it.
What was the WORST thing about this hookup? I cheated on my boyfriend and didn't feel guilty. It's like I packed it away. He'll probably never find out unless I tell him.
Has this hookup changed the way you think about casual sex, sexuality, or yourself in general? Yeah. I'm terrified I'll be giving in to sexual urges now because I've discovered that I can successfully pull it off without hurting anyone.
All things considered, how NEGATIVE was this experience? Somewhat negative
What are your thoughts on casual sex more generally, the role it has played in your life, and/or its role in society? What would you like to see changed in that regard? People should be safe but enjoy their sexuality freely.
What do you think about the Casual Sex Project? Interesting. I've discovered quite a lot about this encounter from all the questions asked here and things I hadn't considered.

What is it, you ask? This one irrational fear that can stop you and your business in your tracks? It's the fear of failure. This one fear has ended so many journeys early. But it didn't have to.
To the men and women who succumbed, I'm truly sorry. I've been there too. But we needn't worry. Because, FAILURE IS NOT THE END. Here's a fact: failure is inevitable. NO ONE can live their life without failing at something. Business, personal, school, playing a sport, it doesn't matter. We ALL failed at something. OK, actually, we all failed at SOMETHINGS. No one can fail just once either. Let's be realistic.
Want to know a secret? I've failed at 8 businesses so far in my life. But here's what makes that excellent - and puts the odds in my favor. I reflect on what goes wrong each time I fail. Eureka! The missing ingredient, secret formula. When you failed the last time at something, did you honestly take time to reflect on what ultimately let to the failure? Or was it too painful?
Here are some things that came out of my failures. I have learned a whole slew of things NOT to do. (Priceless knowledge, by the way.). I have learned what motivates ME, and what I will and will not work for and toward. And, I have learned what I actually care about. Yes, these are all components of my why.
Speaking of why, why did it take me so long to figure that critical piece of my business out? I never said I liked to learn things the easy way, or listen to what others tell me. Luckily for you, I can save you some of the heartache I've gone through by sharing what I have learned with you (unless you're like me, in that case, I can talk at you until I'm blue in the face, but you won't listen to me).
In October, I'm starting an unprecedented program for mompreneurs. Seriously, there's nothing like it out there. It will kick YOUR fear to the curb. Because I'm sharing everything. Everything you need to know to build your business on a rock-solid foundation. It will be built so sturdy in fact, that it will take dynamite to blow it up. You won't have to worry about what you need to do to get your business off the ground. We'll study and implement the right apps and software for you, without the overwhelm and decision paralysis. Profit? No problem. Your business will turn a profit with your first sale. And we will even go over the basics of marketing yourself and your products.
So if you're a mompreneur, ready to take that idea out of your head, and build an empire - let's chat. In fact, if you recently started your business but you want to back up and make sure you've got everything concrete, call me. You might earn yourself a spot in my exclusive beta-tester group. There were only 5 spots available, and some are already claimed. But you can only get in by invitation.

Requisites for Effective "Safe Zones" in Conflict Areas in the Region
Mustafa Shafiq Alam
Wednesday، March 15، 2017
Some terms and concepts always stand out in the fog of war and armed conflict, revealing the absence of any prospects to resolve these conflicts or to reach a comprehensive settlement. These concepts include the term "safe zones," which is once again a buzzword in the news and analyses. US President Donald Trump referred to this term in an interview with the ABC News network on January 25, 2017, stating that he will work on creating safe zones in Syria for the internally displaced people attempting to flee violence caused by years of civil war.
On January 29, 2017, a statement by the White House clarified that Trump and Saudi Arabia's King Salman bin Abdel-Aziz agreed on creating safe zones in Syria and Yemen as part of their discussion on ideas to help refugees and victims of armed conflicts in the region. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, in his address to the International Peace Institute's Global Leaders Series in Bahrain on February 13, 2017 that he is seeking to create a safe zone in Syria.
Amid growing discussions about the establishment of safe zones in Arab war-torn countries, this article will discuss the definition of safe zones, procedures for creating them, the historical precedence of establishing them and their success and failure in achieving their goals. Finally, it will further examine what the future of safe zones in the Middle East and ways to ensure their success in conflict zones in the context of escalating proxy wars.
Comparable concepts and necessary procedural parameters
Despite the prevalence of the concept of safe zones or safe areas, it is an unofficial term in international law. The term is neither mentioned in any of the four Geneva Conventions of 1949, nor does it appear in any of the additional protocols of 1977. These agreements and protocols used other terms that are relatively close to the concept of safe zones, most notably "hospital zones", "neutralized zones" and "demilitarized zones".
Such zones reflect efforts undertaken by UN agencies, mandated to maintain international peace and security, to identify certain areas outside the scope of being military targets and witnessing combat activities. UN agencies chose the zones for humanitarian considerations to protect civilians who cannot protect themselves during war and armed conflict.
Customary laws used several concepts when referring to these arrangements, based upon previous experiences during the Cold War era, such as "corridors of tranquility", "humanitarian corridors", "protected areas" and "safe havens".
Procedurally, there is similarity between safe zones and buffer zones in that both require a Security Council resolution, yet there are differences between both concepts. Buffer zones involve the establishment of a specific area separating two conflicting parties, with the aim of preventing them from the use of weapons. This separation is inflicted territorially accompanied by a no-fly zone. Meanwhile, the aim of a safe zone is not to separate two conflicting sides, rather it is a safe haven for civilians fleeing the ravages of war, and provide them with necessary humanitarian assistance and protection during the conflict.
According to customary international law, there are necessary procedures required for creating a safe zone, after a Security Council resolution is adopted on the issue. The procedures include most notably, agreement among warring parties on creating them, demilitarizing these areas through disarming the citizens, and ensuring the zone's elimination from the scope of military operations. Other procedures entail subjecting the zones to civilian administration, ensuring none of the warring parties makes defensive arrangements to maintain security within safe zone or across its border. Further procedures in historical precedents that have been previously applied incorporate; providing military protection by UN forces or an international coalition given such a mandate, imposing a no-fly zone to protect them, and providing safe corridors to deliver humanitarian aid to civilians under the UN supervision.
Various experiences, similar outcomes
Historically, safe zones during wars and armed conflict are similar in purpose; specifically to provide humanitarian intervention through safe corridors for the protection of civilians affected by hostilities between conflicting parties. This is implemented via a Security Council resolution and is always based upon the recommendation of the UN Human Rights Council.
Among the notable countries where safe zones were created in the 1990s was Iraq. Following the 1991 Kurdish uprising in Iraq, the forces of the US-led international coalition established a safe zone in northern Iraq as a haven for 400,000 Kurds who were turned back at the Turkish border, after fleeing from Saddam Hussein's regime. The UN and relevant agencies provided humanitarian aid to them during that period.
During the Bosnian War, the Security Council issued a resolution in 1993 to established several safe zones to protect Bosnian civilians from attacks by Serbian forces. In the same year, the UNHCR began to create several safe areas in Sri Lanka to protect civilians from ongoing battles between rebels and government forces. In addition, in 1994, the Security Council issued a resolution creating safe zones in Rwanda during the civil war between Hutus and Tutsis.
These experiences resulted in similar outcomes, mostly negative with the exception of the safe zone in northern Iraq. None of these attempts achieved their goals, whether on the humanitarian or security levels. In fact, some led to disastrous outcomes that seemed to facilitate the slaughter of civilians by warring parties.
The success of the safe area in northern Iraq was attributed to the presence of professional paramilitary Kurdish forces, the Peshmerga, who played a key role in defeating Iraqi government forces in Iraqi Kurdistan. However, this experience was not replicated anywhere else, not even in Iraq itself after a similar attempt to establish a safe zone for Shiite civilians in southern Iraq after the Gulf War, because the necessary troops were not present. The lack of forces in the safe zone allowed the Iraqi regime to attack the area, making it safe only in name.
In Bosnia-Herzegovina, there were procedural loopholes when creating safe areas to protect Bosnian civilians. The Security Council resolution did not define the geographic borders of the six safe zones, or mandate necessary military protection of these areas – perhaps because Bosnians rejected allowing international troops in to protect them. This resulted in massacres and war crimes against thousands of civilians as international forces stood by watching as Serbian troops occupied safe zones in Sarajevo, Srebrenica, Žepa, Tuzla and Bihać.
The situation in Sri Lanka was not that different. Between 1993 and 2009, all UN resolutions failed to establish safe zones for civilians and successfully deliver humanitarian aid to them. This failure occurred because the Sri Lankan government constantly violated the UN resolutions through bombing the safe zones. The government justified its actions under the pretext that they are being used as a front and staging areas for rebel attacks against government forces.
The experience in Rwanda also failed in terms of achieving the strategic goals of safe areas. The Security Council resolution did not obligate any of the relevant countries responsible for ending the civil war to protect these safe zones. France was given an international mandate to protect safe zones in Rwanda since 1995 to prevent more killings in these areas that covered some 20 per cent of the country. However, ethnic cleansing campaigns picked up steam and French troops were understaffed. When French troops withdrew, government forces raided these areas and committed massacres, which forced thousands of refugees to flee to neighboring Congo.
The future of safe zones in the region
The concept of establishing safe zones caused a controversy due to its theoretical vagueness, and its viability in dealing with the new conflicts that are different in format and context the previous wars of the last century. This casts a shadow of doubt on the future of the mechanism of safe zones in war-torn countries across the globe.
Judging by the history of safe zones, which revealed that they are rarely safe, the future of the safe zone mechanism in managing armed conflicts in the region remains contingent on several determinants. The first determinant entails genuine resolve by major international and regional powers that have a direct impact on regional conflicts. The second one requires sincere international and regional consensus regarding the necessary measures required to protect refugees and civilians fleeing the ravages of armed conflict. Finally, international and regional players are entitled to rein in armed groups in these conflicts, and force them to respect humanitarian and security arrangements on this matter.
The previous experiences have shown that any disagreements regarding the establishment of safe zones, and in the absence of a forceful recognized authority in the conflict zone, have resulted in dire outcomes. When a country is in turmoil and is unsafe in general, the need for strong military presence is necessary to achieve the required protection of the safe zone. Without absolute commitment to the guarantees of international humanitarian law, including approval of the government and warring parties, and the establishment of a civilian-governed zone, then ensuring the safety of civilians there will be difficult.
Finally, the strategy of safe zones in the region may not be viable now or in the future without addressing the root causes of these wars and conflicts. Tackling the causes of war has not yet occurred and may not come up any time soon, as long as the decision to ignite these wars and armed conflicts remains in the hands of latent powers – namely, the regional incubators of violence who are the main catalysts of ongoing regional conflicts.

Everyday Barely Boot Leg Petite Jean is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 200.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Major from Great Style for all I've been wearing C&B clothing for over 15 years. I'm 76 years old and it's hard to find clothes that are modern for someone my age that fit and look good without looking like an old lady. C&B handle that very nicely. I can count on their clothes fitting me properly. Many years ago due to health problems I I went from size 12 down to a 4 and able to take advantage of wonderful sales during my transition without any doubt about the fit. I'm healthier now and enjoy what they have to offer and remain quite stable as well. I really love the clothes and not to speak of the friendly sales people. Thank you C&B..
Rated 5 out of 5 by Deb87 from Love these jeans! These are the most comfortable jeans I have purchased in years. I was reluctant to buy more than one pair since jeans with the stretch fabrics often stretch out too much and don't give a very good fit. These jeans are comfortable without that stretched out look that can happen after you have been wearing them awhile. I am glad I listened to the salesperson and bought two pair. She told me they sell out quickly and I can see why. I also like the fact the boot cut is not too big but also does not hug your calves. I have actually stopped wearing the other jeans in my closet since purchasing these!
Rated 1 out of 5 by Soapy from I would never buy these jeans again. do not know what has happened to C&B merchandise. The quality of their clothing isn't there anymore. I was definitely disappointed. Poor fabric quality, poorly made and the fabric had a smell to it. It's a shame because C&B wes my go to place for pants, tops and jackets. Now I have to find some place new. I haven't bought much there in the last year.
Rated 5 out of 5 by SoniMarie from Good fit! These petite denim jeans fit me well ... I am 5'2" and wear a size 8. They are very comfortable also. I will buy again.
Rated 4 out of 5 by grandma O from Nice Fit, great dark wash Petite length just right for me at 5'4". These jeans fit well around hips and you can feel some stretch. Not a heavy denim which is good for summer. I would like a very plain slit back pocket to make jeans look dressy.
Rated 5 out of 5 by MaggiesMom from Comfortable The size runs large. I usually wear a 10 petite/short but in these pants can wear an 8. Nice fit and length. If you have a bigger waistline these pants will fit. It is a classic fit pant but mine fits just below waist, not enough to be a modern fit.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mia123 from Classic fit! I bought these pants for my Aunt who isn't able to shop as much as she used to due to her health. She loves jeans and needed a couple new pairs. She requested a plain and classic dark wash that wouldn't look like a skinny fit jean. These fit the bill and look so flattering. She is approximately 5'4 and the petite fit her perfectly with her flat shoes on. She really likes them.

Q. I need information on greek symbology. Where should I start?
It sounds like you're just beginning research for a paper or speech. You've come to the right place.
When I'm starting a project I always want to find some good topic overview articles so that I can begin to understand the basics about my topic. Once I understand the basic facts, important issues, etc. then I can create some research questions that I'll spend the rest of my "information gathering time" trying to answer.
With that in mind, I recommend you search the library catalog for a book or encyclopedia on symbolism. To start searching in the library catalog simply type in the box below WorldCat - Find Books & More on the library's Web site. I did that and searched for symbolism dictionaries. I found The Watkins Dictionary of Symbols in the Reference Collection of the East Campus library. The shelf address for it (or Call Number) is GR931 .T74 2008. One of the librarians will be happy to help you find it.
I also recommend that you search our database Gale Virtual Reference Library that you'll find when you click on Articles & Databases. In the search box at the top of the database page I entered (signs and symbols) and (greeks or rome). That search returned 1372 results, which I further limited by choosing the Document Type Topic Overview at the top of the left-hand column. Once I chose that limit, my results went down to 909. The list of results down the middle of the page shows you article titles (in orange). Several of these titles caught my eye: "Roman Empire" in the New Catholic Encyclopedia, "Greeks" in the Encyclopedia of World Cultures, and "Symbol and Symbolism" in the Encyclopedia of Religion. You can just click on the article title to begin reading it.
I encourage you to read as you go so that you're learning about your topic as you work. Don't make the mistake of trying to gather all of your information before you know what you're looking for. Reading some topic overview articles early in your research will get you started in the right direction and save you time down the road.
