Former US President Clinton cancels trip to Nigeria ahead of elections

Former US President Bill Clinton delivers a speech last July.
Lagos, Nigeria (CNN)Former US President Bill Clinton
has canceled his trip to Nigeria ahead of Saturday's general elections, saying the visit could be "politicized."
Clinton was scheduled to visit the capital, Abuja, this week alongside Baroness Patricia Scotland, the Secretary-General of the Commonwealth.
The planned trip was facilitated by the Kofi Annan Foundation and the National Peace Committee (NPC).
"Over the course of the last several days, and after various conversations with the different stakeholders, it's become apparent that President Clinton's visit to Nigeria has the potential to be politicized in a way that is not in line with the goals of the Committee. Therefore, he will not be traveling to Abuja," Clinton's spokesman Angel Ureña said in a statement.
Clinton, according to the statement, would continue to support the NPC 's work toward peaceful and fair elections in Nigeria.

Many people in the US/West aren’t even aware of the terrible famines that swept through India and which are comparable to the holocaust in deaths (an estimated ~30 million people have died in famines in India). This was taken from the Great Famine of 1876–1878, which was far worse than the infamous Bengal Famine. It was caused by a crop failure/drought and was exacerbated by the crown’s export of wheat abroad. In total, 5.6 - 9 million people died (it’s hard to get exact figures). And within huge statistics like these, are forgotten stories. These are individuals and families, who slowly faced the despair of knowing they had no food and would have no food in the near future. They faced the horror of knowing there was ...
