'World's Most Wanted Drug Lord El Chapo Declares War on ISIS

2015-12-11T03:31:00.004-08:00

One of the world's most wanted drug lords has reportedly 'declared war' on the Islamic State in a threatening letter. Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán apparently sent an encrypted email to the ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi after one of his cartel's shipments was destroyed.

His letter, which has been leaked by cartelblog.com, claims his men will "destroy" the terror group if they continue to 'impact on their operation'.
The Mexican drug baron, who runs the notorious Sinaloa cartel, allegedly told Al Baghdadi that his organisation are 'not soldiers' but 'lowly p*****s'.
He apparently wrote:
"Your god cannot save you from the true terror that my men will levy at you if you continue to impact my operation. My men will destroy you. The world is not yours to dictate. I pity the next son of a wh*** that tries to interfere with the business of the Sinaloa Cartel. I will have their heart and tongue torn from them.”
El Chapo, nicknamed "Shorty", has been on the run from police since he escaped from the maximum security Altiplano prison in July. He fled through a hole in a shower after his men dug a mile-long tunnel underneath the jail to a farmhouse from where he fled.
The tunnel, which would have taken months to dig, was found equipped with ventilation ducts, running electricity to power strip lighting, stairs and a motorbike on rails on which he rode away.
Guzman, once the 1,140th richest man in the world and once the 55th most powerful, is said to have paid $50 million (£32 million) in bribes this time to ensure he got away safely.
He had previously escaped from prison in 2001, and was only recaptured last year.
The second jailbreak was a huge embarrassment for Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto, who had said it would be "inexcusable" if Guzman managed to escape again, MirrorUK reports.

Singer, Moses Ssali aka Bebe Cool has said that despite his father, Jaberi Bindandi Ssali having been a rich government minister, he grew up with his mother in a poverty-stricken setting.
Bebe Cool was performing his popular song, ‘Go Mama’ at the ‘Spotlight Show’ when he took time off to encourage single mothers to take responsibility even after being left by their men.

“I grew up with my poor mother looking at Bidandi Ssali (father) with a lot of money yet I had to foot every day from home in Kanyanya to school in Kitante,” he said.
“My mother used to operate a sewing machine and on a good day she would make shs 2,000, of which she would give me shs 300,” he added.
He also said that even though his father had 16 children, he would walk to school yet his other siblings cruised in cars and even had cars to carry their books.
“Despite having gone through such a situation, of all my siblings, I am the most successful,” he added.
Meanwhile, Bobi Wine fans are angry with Bebe Cool for calling the ghetto president ‘Kadingo’ after a very long time with their beef at a record low.
“This Kadingo, Bobi Wine has never known real suffering because for him he was born poor unlike me,” Bebe Cool said.

NUDE PHOTOS-DESIRE REACTS

2014-11-06T08:02:00.000-08:00

Uganda's singer Desire Luzinda who has been embroiled in a nude photos scandal has finally spoken. Through her facebook page the singer reacted with the ollowing statement:To all my fans in Uganda and all over the world, as you might be aware, there has been a lot of fanfare and discussion in the media and social media about my photos taken in private that were leaked to the public by a jilted lover.

The facts about this matter are that these were photos taken in privacy with someone I loved. In our private moments, we all have our “moments of madness”. The bottom line is that I trusted this person and never hoped that something done in private would find its way to the public domain irrespective of our differences.

I am aware that for many people who looked up to me as a role model, to the fans who adore my music, to the young generation that looks up to artistes like me as a symbol of the importance of grooming and growing talent, these photos must have been an upset.

I want to sincerely apologise to my mother, to my daughter, to my family, my fans and any other people who have been offended by these images. Like I said, this was a breach of trust by someone I loved, someone who has not only abused that trust but now seeks to drag me down.

Those who have interacted closely with me know I am a decent person, a doting mother and an industrious woman. These images in no way should define who I am.

Let me also thank my numerous fans who have stood by me in this period—asking me to be firm amidst the tempest.

Just to let you know, the responsible authorities are doing everything possible to ensure I get justice. Once again, accept my sincere apologies.

Thank you,

Desire Luzinda
