*Archbishop Desmond Tutu attempts to teach human rights lesson to Sri Lanka*
Wo! Wo!!, what going on in your back yard of your Rainbow Nation, Archbishop Tutu? You told the world that ‘South Africa should be regarded as the moral conscience’ and you led the attack on Sri Lanka not to be admitted to the United Nations Human Rights Council. It so happened that 101 countries did not believe you and voted for Sri Lanka to be admitted, even though Sri Lanka was destined to be unfairly voted out from the Council. /Ce la vie/. That is how the cookie crumbles in an unfair world.Those 101 countries did realize that your moralizing was historically blind, when you preached to your people “Don’t worry, be Happy’. What baloney! Those 101 countries perceived that your attack on Sri Lanka was anti-democratic encouraging Tamil Tiger terrorism at the price of blood-shed and in particular, Sinhalese blood in that tiny nation. This they knew was an extension of South Africa’s foreign policy of being an anti-democratic force, protecting tyrants like Omar el-Bashir and Robert Mugabe and they could not fathom that other Africans would today become victims of "racist attacks" in the Southern African country. That is how your South Africa is viewed by the outside world.

Hunted down and burnt alive for being a migrant in TUTU's Backyard
The man they called Mugza had come to Johannesburg in search of a job and dignity. Instead he was burnt alive in broad daylight last Sunday. His only crime: being a foreigner competing for low-paid work in a city swept by hate and xenophobia. Today Mugza lies in Johannesburg’s Germiston morgue, his hideously charred body unclaimed by friends or family. In 28 days he will be buried in a pauper’s grave. -Full Report-
