Full Update: US Senate bill authorizes sanctions on Russia or any other country offering Snowden asylum
US sanctions against any country offering asylum to Edward Snowden are unanimously approved in Congress by voice vote as an amendment to next year’s $50.6 billion diplomacy and international aid bill.

One Of Africa's Brightest President: The President Of Malawi Sells Presidential Jet For $15 Million To Aid Her Country

Current leader of Malawi, President Joyce Banda, who took office in April 2012 after Mutharika died of a heart attack, was lauded when she made the decision to put the luxury jet up for sale.

I have buffalos from South Africa and Brazil and they never date each other. We are ready to eat grass but we will not compromise on this. Allowing homosexuality means allowing satanic rights. We will not allow gays here.So homosexuals, biko stay away from the country! :-)
