R. Kelly Opens Up About Childhood Sexual Abuse

In an exclusive interview with GQ magazine, troubled singer/songwriter R. Kelly opened up about the sexual abuse he says he suffered as a child.

Kelly, 49, says he believes the sexual abuse he suffered as a child may have contributed to later accusations of child molestation.

In his 2012 memoir, Soulacoaster, Kelly described being molested by a woman. But he never revealed the woman to be a family member until now.

He said the abuse started when he was “about 7 or 8 to maybe 14, 15.” The abuse began as oral sex and then progressed to sexual intercourse, he said.

“I remember it feeling weird. I remember feeling ashamed. I remember closing my eyes or keeping my hands over my eyes,” he said. “I remember those things, but couldn’t judge it one way or the other fully.”

Kelly said over time he began looking forward to the abuse.

Sad: Beauty queen mum died after falling into road during an argument with another parent at school

A mum and former beauty queen died after falling in front of a van outside her children's primary school during a row with another parent.
Robyn McHale, 28, died six days after being airlifted to Royal London Hospital in a critical condition from outside Forres Primary School in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire.
An inquest into her death heard how just moments before the collision in February last year, she had been involved in a heated argument at the school gates.

Ms McHale was heard shouting "you f****** grass" before running towards another mum, Tara Jarmin, with her arms flailing and starting a tussle.

The inquest heard she had blamed the other mum after headteacher Sue Camp called the single mum-of-three into a meeting to discuss child car issues.

Robyn, from Hoddesdon, was said to have become "upset and angry" before storming out of the school and confronting the woman.

COUNTERING TERRORISM IN AFRICA THROUGH COLLABORATION

Several regions in Africa have been affected by terrorism, from Kenya to Somalia in the East; Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria and Libya in the North and Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, Mali in the West. In response some like Mali and Burkina Faso are collaborating to fight against the threat.

"I guess the only place where there isn’t conflict right now is probably in Southern Africa," said Ona Ekhomu, President of the Industrial Security and Safety Operators of Nigeria to CNBC Africa's Onyi Sunday.

Al Shabaab Attacks

"Al Shabaab has become a very big problem for the Kenyan state, primarily because Kenya has been at the forefront of the efforts to combat and contain Al Shabaab in Somalia and that is why you saw all those cross-border attacks,” said Ekhomu.

Catalan police ends Eiye Confraternity sex-trafficking in Spain

Catalan Police have busted a sex-trafficking group in Spain known as the Supreme Eiye Confraternity (SEC), or the Air Lords following a raid on their residential building.

BBC’s Sam Piranty was given access by the Catalan police, Mossos D’Esquadra, to an investigation into a Nigerian sex-trafficking gang. He spoke to traffickers and women rescued from sexual slavery before filming an early morning raid in November, which led to 23 arrests. He also discovered that the gang is now using London as a gateway into Europe.

Here’s Piranty’s report on the raid and activities of the group:

It’s 08:00 in the Catalan Police Headquarters on the outskirts of Barcelona and Xavi Cortes, head of the anti-trafficking unit, waits patiently for his 22 teams to confirm they are in position. Finally, he gives the order.

Two-hundred-and-fifty officers quietly climb out of their police vans. Single file, each team approaches a residential building watched by a few surprised neighbours.

On reaching the door, one of the masked police officers uses his fingers to count down. Three, two, one. The door is knocked down, the silence shattered, the officers rush inside.

The raid results in the arrest of the leaders of a Nigerian-based group running an international sex-trafficking ring in Barcelona.

It’s known as the Supreme Eiye Confraternity (SEC), or the Air Lords, and 23 people are now behind bars, with European Arrest Warrants issued for those who have left the country.

This operation was 18 months in the planning and involved monitoring more than a million phone calls, tapping dozens of mobile phones and months of surveillance.
