'Exit this race within 24 hours or we will release all we have found.'- hackers threaten U.S presidential candidate Ted Cruz


Today, an individual purporting to be a representative of the hacker group Anonymous posted a disturbing Twitter video that threatened to expose 'very dirty secrets' of U.S Presidential candidate Ted Cruz including information about Cruz ‘visiting prostitutes!’“Your lying during this presidential campaign has gotten out of control,” the video begins. A voice alleges, “You have committed voter fraud to steal votes that do not belong to you … The fraud you have committed against Mr. [Ben]Carson will notbe tolerated.”“Anonymous will not let this go without repercussions or consequences,” the video states. “We will not sit and watch thecitizens of America fall for it any longer.” “Almost every word that comes out of yourmouth is a complete lie … and you, Mr. Cruz, have been hiding behind some very dirty secrets that lie beneath the surface … secrets that you believed would never haunt you.” “It’s time that we tell America what’s hiding behind the curtain,” the voice states, taunting, “… Do you recall visiting prostitutes?” (The clip offers no suggestion or proof that Cruz actually did consort with hookers, however.) Finally, the video ends with an ultimatum: “Mr. Cruz, we are now demanding that you exit this race within 24 hours, or Anonymous will release all of the information we have found … Your so-called underground hacksthat you think were done in the dark will bebrought out for all the public to see …Your disgusting behavior … will go viral on everysocial media platform.”

You are from Africa? Wow! How do you live with giraffes and lions" - American man asks Zimbabwean woman


Yeah, you eadd right! Yesterday, March 15, a Zimbabwean human rights lawyer & General Secretary, World YWCA, Nyaradzayi Gumbonzvanda was at a hotel reception in the U.S when a man asked herthe ignorant questions. For over twenty years, Mrs Gumbonzvanda (pictured with Hollywood actress, Ashley Judd) has beenworking on issues of women and children's human rights with a special focus on crisis countries. After the cut is what she shared on her Facebook page..."Okay, I was taken aback and am kind of angry and sad at ignorance, but more so atthe perception of Africa. I was collecting my keys at the hotel reception and this guys said, aaah, you are from Africa, from Zimbabwe right? I said yes. He was holding my passport. Then he went on to say with true conviction "wow, how do you live with giraffes and the lions? Are you notafraid to just kind of wake up and see a lion staring at you?" I looked at him, and said no am not afraid. we are all part of nature. I am still nursing some sad feeling about how many people in this United States of America do not really know aboutAfrica and have warped ideas. Or its maybe only this single guy. Ummm
