They consisted of government squads of the Turkish. Their job was to kidnap Armenian children and convert them into Islam. Once that is complete they gave them to Turkish…
During the 1994 Rwandan genocide, Hutu extremists sought to kill all Tutsis after the Tutsi rebels shot down the president’s plane. Nearly a million Tutsis were murdered during the genocide. Hutus were ordered to cleanse Rwanda of all Tutsis by the Rwandan government. Hutus used machine guns, machetes, and grenades to clear Rwanda of Tutsis. Hutus also raped and transmitted HIV to dehumanization and strip women of their dignity. The genocide was ended when president Paul Magana sent the RPF to…
In this case scenario, engaging in FDI like Samsung did could keep the lead firm away from problems like the one examined above.

The State of Affairs in Africa has always created stereo-types as a doomed continent with unavoidable tribal conflict and ethnic cleavages. It’s hard to understand why there were so many wars and instability in Africa in the late 90’s. Over the last four decades, nearly twenty African countries in the Sub-Saharan Africa area have experienced at least one form of war. The biggest and deadliest war was the Rwandan genocide. Most of the wars occurred because of influences Europeans had on African…

In an era of increased globalization, transnational corporations (“TNCs”) and MNCs have grown in number and in power. A significant portion of modern economic development occurs through TNCs that, in an effort to maximize profit, move to developing countries.

The contributor of “Africa's Informal Economy Is Receding Faster than Latin America's,” published by The Economist, discusses the current and rapidity changing economy of sub-Saharan countries and their respective traditional roles.

including the sitting president of Sudan, Omar al-Bashir. Al-Bashir—charged with multiple counts of crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide—is the first sitting head of state indicted by the ICC. In late 2014, Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda (2014) decided to table the investigation, citing the United Nations Security Council’s inaction and the ICC’s limited resources as causes for tabling all active investigations. The ICC’s inaction has allowed President Omar al-Bashir’s regime to…
Rob Reich lectures that blurred lines between the private, public (government), and social sectors have altered how social change happens in the economy. He explains that the shifts in behavior and responsibilities across the traditional sectors have led to improper behavior and decision making, which has also led to the poor management of responsibilities.
