گذشتہ ہفتے وزیرستان میں ڈرون حملے میںمارے گئے القاعدہ کے رہنما ابو يحيي اللبي زندہ نمودار ہوگئے ہیں اور ان کا وڈيو پيغام انٹر نيٹ پر جاري کيا گيا ہے. امريکا نے اللبي کو گذشتہ ہفتے ڈرون حملے ميں ہلاک کرنے کا دعوي کيا تھا.امريکي سائٹ مانيٹرنگ سروس اور انٹيل سينٹر کے مطابق يہ واضح نہيں ہے کہ وڈيو کب ريکارڈ کي گئي. وڈيو ميں ابو يحيي اللبي نے شام کے صدر بشار الاسد کو آمر قرار ديتے ہوئے شامي عوام سے کہا ہے کہ وہ حکومت کے خلاف اپني جدوجہد جاري رکھيں. امريکي حکام نے ابو يحيي اللبي کو پچھلے دنوں شمالي وزيرستان ميں کئے گئے ڈرون حملے ميں ہلاک کرنے کا دعوي کيا تھا تاہم القاعدہ نے کہا تھا کہ وہ زندہ ہیں اور جلد اپنا ویڈیو پیغام جاری کریں گے۔

Najam Sethi Exposed
Najam Sethi is an analyst in one of the most popular TV news channel Geo. His analysis is mostly biased towards USA and their policies while ridiculing the ideology of Pakistan.
Our research team has found that Najam Sethi owns an apartment in main Manhattan, New York worth $1.2 Million (RS 11 corer). Owning this property itself is not illegal, but since Najam Sethi works in Pakistan we have following questions regarding this property.
  1. Did Najam Sethi earn this money in Pakistan or in USA? If in USA, has he got proof and tax records?
  2. If this money was transferred from Pakistan, is there any proof of bank transactions
  3. If not transferred from Pakistan or earned in USA, how did Najam Sethi got this property?
We have obtained property details and anyone can verify it from Borough of Manhattan, New York whether they are correct or not?
Proof about 233 Broadway,  Suite #930
Now coming to the proof for the property located at 223 Broadway, Suite 930
 
Another document related to property
And final proof with with stamp
If still someone is not convinced, please call City Register Office of New York and get your confirmation.
What Fellow Journalist Say
Now see what fellow TV anchors have to say about Najam Sethi. These shows have been aired on different news channels and so far Najam Sethi have not denied any of these allegations or taken a legal action against them
1) Talat Hussain recent programme where he asked media people to show assets
2) Najam Sethi Begging USA for money to start his news channel
3)Mubashar Lucman exposing Najam Sethi
American Think Tank
Finally, if you google 'najam sethi think tank' the first link from Washington Post says that Najam Sethi and his wife Jugno Mohsin are appointed as 'Senior Fellow' in an American Think Tank called 'New America'
And before the page is taken down, I have taken a screen grab of the page
Najam Sethi should clear all of the above allegations regarding him or admit that he is working upon American Agenda before "brain washing" the nation with his own anti-Pakistan Agenda.

THE SECRETARY-GENERAL MESSAGE ON WORLD DAY TO COMBAT DESERTIFICATION

17 June 2012



ISLAMABAD, 15 June 2012 (UN Information Centre) - In 1994, the United Nations General Assembly declared June 17 the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought (A/RES/49/115) to promote public awareness of the issue, and the implementation of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) in those countries experiencing serious drought and/or desertification, particularly in Africa.

 

 

The UN Secretary-General issued the following message on this Day:

 

 

"Healthy soil sustains your life: Let's go land degradation neutral"

 

"The World Day to Combat Desertification falls this year on the eve of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development.  Global efforts to halt and reverse land degradation are integral to creating the future we want.  Sustainable land use is a prerequisite for lifting billions from poverty, enabling food and nutrition security, and safeguarding water supplies.  It is a cornerstone of sustainable development.

 

The people who live in the world's arid lands, which occupy more than 40 per cent of our planet's land area, are among the poorest and most vulnerable to hunger.  We will not achieve the Millennium Development Goals by 2015 without preserving the soils on which their subsistence depends. 

 

Nor will we be able to guarantee our freshwater resources, 70 per cent of which are already used for agriculture.  By 2030 the demand for water is projected to rise by 35 per cent.  Unless we change our land-use practices, we face the prospect of diminishing and inadequate water supplies, as well as more frequent and intense droughts. 

 

Further, by 2050, we will need sufficient productive land to feed an estimated 9 billion people with per capita consumption levels greater than those of today.  This will be impossible if soil loss continues at its current pace -- an annual loss of 75 billion tons.  Important land-use decisions need to be made, as well as critical investments ranging from extension services for small farmers to the latest technology to support environmentally sustainable mass food production.

 

Rio+20 is our opportunity to showcase the many smart and effective land management systems and options that exist or are in the pipeline.  Twenty years on from the adoption of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, let us ensure that a commitment to sustainable land management features prominently in the official outcome at Rio and in the wider mobilization for sustainability that will also be part of Rio's legacy.  Without healthy soil, life on Earth is unsustainable."
