Without question, a central tool in the 
fight to contain and drive out the scourge of Ebola is the digital 
communications infrastructure.

An American journalist is brutally murdered by ISIS 
terrorists and the bombs are flying, coalitions are formed to attack 
them and put an end to their heinous crimes...all of which I support.

For me, what is so ruthless about Ebola 
in particular, is the way it forces victims to anticipate death, be 
ostracized and feared and remain void of human touch and personal 
connection. My test results came back negative for Ebola. I had never 
been happier to have Malaria.

I spoke with Anthony Egbase,

 deal with ISIS and Boko Haram in the wake of the escalated terrorist 
attacks.

Are we promoting ignorance and hysteria?
 The widespread ignorance of Africa among the American population could 
pose a challenge on public health workers' efforts to spread awareness 
about Ebola in the United States.
     
     
 
 
    
    
With the possibility that the Chibok girls will go 
free soon, we must intensify our efforts for the wider global goal that 
every girl has the chance to be at school, safe and free from violence.

If oil prices stay below $90 per barrel 
for any length of time, we will witness massive fiscal squeezes and 
regime changes in one or more of the following countries: Iran, Bahrain,
 Ecuador, Venezuela, Algeria, Nigeria, Iraq, or Libya. It will be a 
movie we have seen before.

The lack of credible information from 
official security sources and unresolved past conflicts has helped to 
trigger a low in the national morale. Nigerians largely feel that they 
are not getting the answers that they need, so they are creating or 
finding ways to get them.
     
     
 
    
    
While it is important to be well-read and keep up 
with the news, it can be equally important to make sure the news stories
 mean something to you personally.

Over the last few months, the price of 
Brent crude oil lost over 20 percent of its value, dropping below $90 
just yesterday and hitting its lowest level in over two years. In 
consequence, oil producers will no longer be able to rely on oil 
revenues to pay their bills.

We need to wake up and realize all children, 
especially those of color -- girls and boys -- need adults to stop 
criminalizing them and recognize the special risks facing our girls.

The discussions quietly occurring in the
 corridors of the White House, CIA, Pentagon, and in other capitals 
throughout the world certainly point to grave concern on the part of 
policy and decision makers about the possibility of a worst-case 
scenario becoming reality.

The reality is that the world is a big place and evil
 lurks in many corners. It's hard to find the emotional bandwidth to 
care about each and every new report concerning religious persecution in
 one foreign nation or another.

Education may be scary for the thousands
 of Nigerians who are afraid to send their children to school in a 
region terrorized by Boko Haram. A society without education is even 
scarier.

rights gains with respect to sexual orientation and gender identity and 
expression. However, there have also been substantial setbacks.
     
     
 
    
    
The Nigerian conflict is far more 
complex than a Muslim-Christian divide. Social, economic, political, 
ethnic, and historical dimensions are all intertwined.
