Background: Freedom of Expression in Nigeria is greatly at an explosive stage that if urgent attention by the U.S. government and lawmakers is not paid in the next few days, may result in another civil war.

Report by Gyavira Lasana  (EAC Correspondent )
On April 16 (day before Easter), at about 4am, at a bus stop in Potsdam (just outside Berlin), a 37-year-old black German of Ethiopian descent was severely beaten by (apparently) two white neo-Nazis and robbed of 200 euros. The black man, identified by authorities as Ermays M., was talking to his wife on his cell phone when the attack occurred, and police, in an unusual move, actually released the recorded attack on a website to help apprehend the suspects. Ermays, a scientist (Wissenschaftler) with a German wife and three small children, remains hospitalized in Potsdam in critical condition.
