There are indications that the United States are interested in buying Greenland, an autonomous country and the world's largest island, from Denmark.
The current US President, Donald Trump, wants to take his real estate acquisition skills to another level with this move.
According to CNN, Greenland is home to 56,000 people, and the notion of buying an indigenous people and their ancestral lands smacks of colonialism and is deeply problematic. Given how Trump's real estate projects worked out for the islanders of New York City — $360 million in forgiven or uncollected taxes with another $885 million in tax breaks going to luxury apartments, hotels and office buildings — it would be financially savvy for Denmark to steer clear of President Trump's crony capitalism.

At least six persons including a police corporal were on Friday killed by gunmen in Gurbin Bore village, Zurmi Local Government Area of Zamfara State, the News Agency of Nigeria has reported.
The state police spokesperson, Mohammed Shehu, said the community was attacked at about 10 pm by assailants numbering about 100.
It was not immediately clear why the village was targeted.
Zamfara, located in Nigeria’s north west, has been hit by several deadly attacks in the last one year by people described by authorities as “bandits”, who also steal livestock.
The police spokesman said three people were severely wounded in Friday’s attack.
“Eleven vehicles including a police vehicle, three motorcycles and five kiosks were set ablaze by the hoodlums,” he said.
Mr Shehu said the “bandits” who were suspected to have come from Dumburum forest were engaged by a combined team of counterterrorism operatives, comprising police Mobile Force, and Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS) personnel stationed in the area.
He said the attackers were being trailed and would be arrested and brought to justice.
The vice chairman of Zurmi Local Government Council, Abubakar Dauran, told journalists that 13 shops and 15 vehicles were burnt.

This platform has been here since 2013. Funny enough, we closed down around 2015 when it seemed we were becoming too political about Syria. Now, we are re-opening and we hope that everyone will be able to express himself or herself without fear.
Moderators will however remove anything we feel is not best for the platform. Have fun!
