[edit] Treaty of Versailles and racist agitation
Morel was severely critical of the Treaty of Versailles, warning that it would lead to another war. He did not give up his career as a journalist, becoming director of the magazine Foreign Affairs. Foreign Affairs became a significant voice of the English left about foreign politics at the time. Morel was pareticularly critical of the use of African troops amongst the French forces during the occupation of the Rhineland[2].
Arthur Conan Doyle became acquainted with Morel through the work of the Congo Reform Association. In his novel The Lost World (1912), he used Morel as an inspiration for the character of Ed Malone. Morel is the great-grandfather of author Jasper Morel Fforde.
George Orwell, writing in 1946, recalled "this heroic but rather forgotten man."[3]
Irish antagonism towards England was aggravated by the economic situation of Ireland in the eighteenth century. Throughout the century English trade with Ireland was the most important branch of English overseas trade. The Protestant Anglo-Irish absentee landlords drew off some £800,000 in the early part of the century, rising to £1 million, in an economy that had a GDP of about £4 million.
Completely deforested of timber for exports Irish estates turned to the export of salt beef, pork, butter, and hard cheese. The Bishop of Cloyne wondered, "how a foreigner could possibly conceive that half the inhabitants are dying of hunger in a country so abundant in foodstuffs?" In the 1740s, these economic inequalities, when combined with an exceptionally cold winter and poor harvest, led directly to the first Great Irish Famine (1740-1741), which killed about 400,000 people. Peasant secret societies became common in eighteenth century Ireland as the only means of tenant farmers to redress grievances against their landlords.
The following appears in Act IV of George Bernard Shaw's play Man and Superman: "The Famine? No, [with smouldering passion] the starvation. When a country is full of food, and exporting it, there can be no famine. My father was starved dead; and I was starved out to America in my mother's arms. English rule drove me and mine out of Ireland." There is an Ireland Holocaust mural on Ballymurphy Road in Belfast, titled "An Gorta Mór, Britain's genocide by starvation, Ireland's holocaust 1845-1849."
Everyone knows the inhumanities of every age.
Most seek to look the other way, until one day the doors of the cattle car open and they're looking at either a prison or a raging war....;}
"General Salem Ali Qatan was killed near his home in the Mansoura neighbourhood of Aden on Monday, a medical official told the AFP news agency on condition of anonymity.
"Four others were wounded in the suicide attack," the medic said. The medic said the attacker "handed Qatan a paper, shook his hand and then detonated himself" as the general was walking to his office.
Witnesses said the bomber was wearing an explosives belt.
As the chief military commander in south Yemen, Qatan had led a month-long offensive against al-Qaeda, forcing the armed group to withdraw from several towns and villages in the Abyan and Shabwa provinces which they had controlled since last year.
The latest attack came as al-Qaeda fled from their last bastion in the town of Azzan in Shabwa.

Since last week, al-Qaeda has withdrawn from three other strongholds in Abyan, including the capital Zinjibar, and the towns of Jaar and Shuqra. Qatan was appointed in March just days after newly elected President Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi took office and pledged to destroy al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the name given to the armed group's local Yemen branch.

The killing of Major General Salem Ali Qatan highlighted the tenuous grip of Yemen's central authorities on the south despite a month of US-supported bombardments and airstrikes aimed at crushing the militants.

The defence ministry said a suicide bomber hurled himself at Qatan's vehicle, also killing two soldiers escorting him. It identified the bomber as a Somali but gave no other details
So was the bomber shaking hands or hurling or shaking hands as he was hurling....someone's hurling that's for sure.....;}
