Tunisian "Sexual Jihad" to increase moral of fighters

Over in Tunisia and Syria women offer themselves off to fighters for establishment of Islamic rule. The girls believe it is supposed to improve their moral when they fight. A family of a 17 year old girl with mental health issues was interviewed. The mother said their daughter was brainwashed by a group of women to do this. The way people determine if the act is working or not is the interceptions of Facebook. If they are able to post freely then the men are fighting harder, and if they are cut off from Facebook or other websites then they need more girls to go out and offer themselves to the men to raise their moral once more. After explaining this, the older women are able to recruit more young girls. Some times the girls get arrested but the group simply recruits more.

Ghana's Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal by the opposition to annul President John Mahama's narrow victory in last year's disputed election.

NPP leader Nana Akufo-Addo told the BBC he was disappointed but accepted the verdict and urged his supporters to do likewise.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the inflation rate in the country fell from 8.2% to 8% in September.  The decrease of inflation was caused by slower rate of increase in food prices.  “In September, the CPI, which measures inflation, rose by eight percent year-on-year, 0.2 percentage points lower from 8.2 percent recorded in August. The year-on-year rate for the headline index continues to trend downwards from the nine per cent recorded in January 2013,” the NBS stated in the report.  The NBS stated that the rate of increase in food prices averaged for the second week in September as produce from the ongoing harvest continued to put downward pressure on the food sub-index.
