ABUJA Customized Atlanta Falcons Jersey , March 23 (Xinhua) -- Nigeria is set to resettle, rehabilitate and reintegrate people displaced by Boko Haram attacks back into their homes and communities, to pave way for a new lease of life for them, a government spokesman said Monday.
Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan will on Tuesday flag off the process of reintegration by inaugurating a special committee to see to that, Odutayo Oluseyi, the mouthpiece appointed for the Presidential Initiative on the North East (PINE) Cheap Atlanta Falcons Jerseys , told Xinhua in the Nigerian capital Abuja.
Apart from being given the responsibility to rehabilitate and reintegrate the internally displaced persons, the committee was partly set up to fasttrack government's plan for the affected communities, he said.
In collaboration with other relevant government agencies, the special committee will also assess the status and conditions of liberated communities to determine which ones are ready for occupation, assess and determine the immediate needs of the returnees and to assess, recommend and implement modalities for the return of the refugees to their communities Wes Schweitzer Falcons Jersey , the spokesman said.
Part of the Nigerian government's plan to fully reintegrate the returnees to the society is to develop a comprehensive resettlement as well as facilitate the provision of adequate relief materials for them, he added.
Nigerian troops have routed Boko Haram fighters from different towns and communities in northeast Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states in the last few weeks, thereby creating the opportunity for displaced persons to resettle in their comfort zones.
With massive military operations, the government forces have also recovered several sophisticated weapons from the terrorists.
BEIJING, Oct. 30 (Xinhuanet) -- The Asian Media Forum 2013 opened today in Incheon Dontari Poe Falcons Jersey , South Korea, convening approximately 100 journalists from 10 Asian countries to engage in in-depth discussions on the roles and responsibilities of the media in the 21st century.
Aiming to increase and enhance the mutual understanding and cooperation opportunities among journalists within the Asian region, the forum is organized by the Incheon International Relations Foundation (IIRF).
Asia has been taking on more critical roles in the global economic and political fields. Nevertheless, conflicts within the Asian region have increased. "When it comes to religions, territorial disputes, different views on history and other issues Tevin Coleman Falcons Jersey , each nation puts its own opinion first and hardly listens to others," Jun Youngwoo, president of IIRF said during the opening ceremony of the forum, "It is so meaningful for that many journalists in Asia to gather and discuss the media's role in this conflicting matter."
Asia's economic and democratic development is built on the foundation of its journalistic growth. "Considering the fact that the whole world now pays more attention to Asia in every field, I can not stress enough how important it is to have this opportunity for Asian journalists to put their heads together, realize the gravity of journalism and find a way to cooperate towards mutual goals Keanu Neal Falcons Jersey ," said Kim Kyoheung, deputy mayor of Incheon.
Speaking of the imbalances in the Asian news flow, Jm Nualla from the Philippines' GMA Network which advocates the development of Asian voice in the global media, said that Asian countries have to rely on Western wire services just to provide news about their neighbors in the region. Often, these reports carry Western angles or bias in them, which in turn affect the relations between courtiers in Asia. "This situation eventually contributes to further misunderstandings among Asian countries and Sean Harlow Falcons Jersey , to an extent, serves only the interests of developed Western countries," Jm Nualla said.
Journalists centered their discussions on freedom of the media and the principles of journalism in modern society. They reached a consensus among Asian journalists to learn from each other and grow together.

SYDNEY, Sept. 27 (Xinhua) -- Experts from 12 countries across the world are meeting in the Australian city of Hobart this week to discuss ways to improve navigational services as sea ice conditions become more unpredictable in Antarctic.
Held at the University of Tasmania's Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, the International Ice Charting Working Group is attempting to develop best practices for the growing amount of ship traffic.
"Unpredictable sea ice conditions have created all sorts of headaches for scientific and resupply operations in Antarctica, and there is a clear need for more reliable charting and forecasting methods Duke Riley Falcons Jersey ," Jan Lieser from the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems CRC told Xinhua on Wednesday.
"Three years ago, we had a massive increase in sea ice extent to unprecedented levels never seen before."
"This month we are seeing record low maximums extent around Antarctica."
The lowest recorded minimum sea ice extent was observed on March 1, 2017 at 2.075 million square kilometres.
Just six months later, the lowest recorded maximum extent of 18.013 million square kilometres occurred on Sept. 12.
"It appears that both the summertime minimum and the wintertime maximum sea ice extent around Antarctica have set new record lows," Lieser said.
As the rapid change in ice is occurring, the amount of commercial ships have been increasing.
"We have seen a number of private and commercial ships becoming stuck in the Antarctic sea ice in recent years, which have led to costly rescue operations that can delay scientific work," Lieser said.
Although it is not fully understood what is causing the dramatic variations overall, Lieser said fluctuations in temperature both below the surface of the water and above in the atmosphere are what's d.
