In humanitarianism, the most relevant key concept is The efficiency of humanitarian intervention is normative because of people having different views on the output and the unlikeliness of every one being pleased by the new regime therefore it is very hard to affirm the real results of the intervention. In 2011, a group of countries intervened during the Libyan civil war, which lead to the abolition of Muammar Gadhafi’s regime. The Operation Unified Protector by NATO was partly successful because they achieved to kill the dictator on 20th October, but partly ineffective because the standards of living in Libya have not increased and the state is facing a lack of government’s ruling.

He also felt sorrow and sympathy for the victims of the tragic event. When speaking of the unity of the country itself he was proud, patriotic, honored and nationalistic. He uses the first person within his speech to engage his audience by talking about himself, his actions, opinions and feelings. He uses phrases such as “… I directed” and “… Weigh on me every time I…” to reflect on his personal sorrow. Negative vocabulary is used to describe the Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden, labelling him as a “… terrorist” and “… mass murderer of innocent…” to convince the audience to resent him. Contrastingly, positive vocabulary attempts to gain the support of the audience when presenting his outlooks and the actions he took. He states “… united in our resolve to protect our nation” and speaks of the several years he was determined in bringing justice to protect his people. He uses exaggerative adjectives such as “… senseless slaughter” and “… exemplify professionalism, patriotism and unparalleled courage” to persuade his audience of the atrociousity of these crimes and to commemorate those who worked with him. Alliteration such as “… service, struggle and sacrifice, we know well the costs of war” is used to describe the war with bin Laden in an unforgettable manner to the audience, to convince the audience of the hardship they have endured because of the horrific attacks. Barack Obama uses figurative language to enhance the impact on the audience and to create imagery. Metaphors are used such as “… seared into our national memory” and “… gaping hole in our hearts” to describe the intensity of the crimes and the aftermath of them. This exhibits the severity of the past events on the country and the victims’ families, therefore, convincing them of the justification of Osama bin Laden’s

Informants watched people in government offices, factories, and schools, and dissidents both at home and living abroad were executed or assassinated.” (Recknagel, 2011:1) As well, fear was instilled across the country from Gaddafi’s forty member team of highly trained women bodyguards. Gaddafi had previously been linked to supporting many terrorist attacks, such as, the Lockerbie bombing and the 1986 Berlin discotheque bombing.

Addressing the most important factor – lack of literacy – it can be noted that the education expenditures in Sierra Leone is 2.9% of GDP (2012)1. An increase in investment in the education system, and enforcement is the most effective way to increase literacy rates. In an interview with the International Monetary Fund, the question is posed: “Oil wealth is not always a blessing. In actual fact, countries like Nigeria have struggled in managing the resource effectively. How can the CEMAC countries avoid the pitfalls that other countries have fallen into? ” The simple answer given by Sharmini Coorey, Director of the IMF's Institute for Capacity Development replies; “Another important thing is investing in people. In the book, we focus on how to achieve inclusive growth and one of the most obvious and relatively easy ways of making inclusive growth is to spend your oil money on better health and education.17” In investing in the people, a country is investing in their future. Censorship isn’t generally accepted in Sierra Leone and so with the creation of privately owned newspaper, radio, and television companies, it allows the private owners to give people the unbiased, truthful and accurate news16. In the research done, my conclusion is that Sierra Leone has a good basis for media, however it is the literacy and monetary issues which hold

Response to Editorial In A Swan Song From an Out-Of-Touch President by Richard Lowry, he argues that President Barack Obama is out of touch with the present state of the Union, and that he inaccurately portrays events that have happened as positive. When referring to the Iranian kidnapping of ten American soldiers Lowry says “the Iranians agree to humiliate us, and we agree not to care”. He says this because, instead of President Obama becoming upset with the treatment of these soldiers, he thanked them for their cooperation in returning the soldiers home. Richard Lowry reflects that Obama did not handle the situation correctly and allowed the U.S to be spit on and humiliated. To depict this view he holds, Lowry uses sarcasm, saying things like “diplomacy at its best,” and “obviously”. Richard Lowry also alludes to past events from other presidencies saying “wasn’t another Carter-era Iranian hostage crisis, but it was another national humiliation”. He does this to reveal that these

To counter this instability, the U.S. coordinates projects with the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL). U.S. targeted assistance to Libya
Obama introduced his speech greeted the audience, and since the beginning he identified himself as one more citizen of the America, by refereeing to his broadly audience as “his fellow citizens,” (Klein) which was an effective way to have the people attention.
