Eric Draitser of http://StopImperialism.org appears on CPR Sunday (Jan. 3, 2016) with journalist and broadcaster Don DeBar to discuss the latest developments in Africa and Latin America. Eric and Don discuss the killing of Nigerian shiites and followers of Sheikh Zakzaky by the Nigerian military. Draitser argues that this is part of a broader proxy conflict between Saudi Arabia/Qatar and Iran for influence in geopolitically significant countries. Eric provides an overview of the unrest in Burundi and explains why this African country has been targeted by the forces of neocolonialism and Empire. Toward the end of the program Eric and Don discuss the situation in Latin America as US-backed right wing political forces take center stage in Argentina and Venezuela.

What do you think about this?

I've always maintained that the mindless massacre of the Shia Muslims is a proxy war. This is a very dumb move by PMB. Nigeria already has its hands full with BH and economic crisis. Saudi Arabia is of no economic importance to Nigeria, what then is the rationale behind PMB's decision to drag our àss into this?

I am confused .

I have not watched the video, but are they saying that The Saudis instructed the Nigerian Shites to block the path of the Nigerian Army?

How would the incident had occurred if the Shite fanatics in Zaria had not denied the Army free passage?

Unless they could sight other examples, there is no evidence that there is any war being waged against Shites by the army.

Don't tell me you fell for the roadblock bullshit.
How many times did they change their cover story? Earlier, it was that Shi'te members wanted to assassinate Buratai, then later the army said Shi'te members refused Burutai passage.
