Finally, the Budgetary Control and Development Committees of the European Parliament are both actively involved in investigating the case of the Embezzlement of Humanitarian Aid destined to the refugees in the Tindouf camps in Southern Algeria.

Berlin, Germany., July 18, 2020 -- Finally, the Budgetary Control and Development Committees of the European Parliament are both actively involved in investigating the case of the Embezzlement of Humanitarian Aid destined to the refugees in the Tindouf camps in Southern Algeria.

A source within the European Parliament, speaking on strict condition of anonymity, confirmed that last week "the Budgetary Control Committee is aware of the article published by EUtoday of June 30th". French MEP Nicolas Bay, Vice-President of the Parliament’s Identity and Democracy group issued a damning statement in which he referred to the 2003-07 investigation by the EU’s anti-fraud office -OLAF-. In January 2015, a report was finally published revealing a system of massive embezzlement of humanitarian aid by the Polisario Front with the complicity of Algeria. This damning report indicated that the actual number of refugees in the Tindouf camps was completely unknown. The Algerian authorities prohibit the EU from sending a mission to assess the situation. The OLAF report mentioned even names of all the people involved in the embezzlement of humanitarian aid from both polisario and Algerian side. This report clearly shows that the amount of humanitarian aid is given to the inflated number of refugees and therefore needs reconsideration.

The Director of the Brussels office of the Taxpayer's Association of Europe, a federation of 29 national taxpayers’ associations throughout Europe, said that his association has been aware of the issue of the embezzlement for some time. M. Walter Grupp, said that he "and the taxpayers association agree with number 235 of the report [OLAF] because nothing has been concretized since 2015. He added that they “ urge the Commission to ensure that the Algerian or Sahrawi individuals incriminated by the OLAF report no longer have access to aid funded by Union taxpayers; calls on the Commission to re-evaluate and adapt Union aid to the actual needs of the population concerned and to ensure that the interests and needs of the refugees will not be harmed because they are the most vulnerable to any possible irregularity. The census of the refugees is a condition sine qua non." He also commented that the Budgetary Control Committee must take note of evidence proving continued diversion of humanitarian aid intended for the Tindouf camps, and that the European Commission should clarify what measures, if any, were taken in response to the findings of the 2007 OLAF report.

EUtoday Interviewed MEP Ilhan Kyuchyuk on this matter. The Bulgarian MEP recently raised the issue of the aid embezzlement with the European Commission. He said in the interview that "Of course, The European Parliament closely follows the situation on the ground and takes action when necessary. The EU taxpayers' money must be spent properly and we should not close our eyes when there is such a misuse of funds." MEP Dominique Bilde confronted EU Commissioner Janez Lenarčič, who is in charge of humanitarian aid. Calling for a prompt investigation saying that "Part of the humanitarian aid would be sold to help purchase military equipment… tanks and missiles, and the number of refugees would be greatly overstated in order to get more subsidies. This suspicious system has been documented since the OLAF investigation… When will the European Commission have the courage to put an end to this scandal and finally make the Algerian state face up to its responsibilities?". Commissioner Lenarčič confirmed "there are often doubts about the real figures in the areas where we cannot access”.

Will there be a census of the Tindouf refugee camps? Will the people behind the humanitarian aid theft face criminal charges for diverting the Aid causing malnutrition in the camps among children and old people? Will the E.U. hold Algeria and polisario accountable for using the refugees’ miseries to enrich few thugs? When will the OLAF report be considered a fact and a proof that humanitarian aid is being diverted and the malnutrition in the camps is caused by the greed of the polisario leadership and their protectors in Algiers?

Marshfield Hills, MA, Jul 19, 2020 -- 2005 was a year to remember. The first Xbox was launched and the average price of a home was under $300,000. And, Bed Boots were created and embraced right away by interior designers and décor conscious consumers. While the average price of a home has gone way up, 15 years later, Bed Boots remain affordable for a home, condo or apartment.

The new creation in bedroom furniture accessories was an immediate hit. Finally, a solution to the problem of how to hide metal bed frame legs when you don’t want the frilly bed skirt or floor length spread – an especially critical alternative for people with dust allergies. Bed Boots were custom designed to slip under the bed frame metal leg to wheel and provide a real furniture leg look.

Made of local hardwoods (abundant, fast growing and strong) and finely finished in natural stains and popular paints, these smart easy to use accessories are an inexpensive and space saving addition to any style bedroom. In many colors, including Mahogany, Cognac, Cottage White, Rubbed Black and Driftwood Gray, Bed Boots complement traditional and contemporary decors.

When you don’t want to invest in or have space for large scale furniture, or you want something easier to place than cumbersome platforms, Bed Boots do not take up space and require no tools; ready to use out of the box in minutes. Bed Boots look great with just a comforter or box spring cover.

Looking back, Julie-Anne White, creator of Bed Boots and founder of BedBoots.com explains that her idea came years ago out of a desire to purchase a bed solution for her antique home, which has small bedrooms that would not accommodate bulky head and foot boards. “There really wasn’t anything on the market that hides the ugly apparatus that sometimes shows even through a bed skirt. In addition, I was tired of running into those hard metal legs of the bed frame.” Now people ask, “Where can I get these, they’re brilliant!”

Boston designer Fotene Demoulas says “Bed Boots are a design and fresh solution, whether your décor is traditional, contemporary or casual. They are easy to put in place and are especially great for small spaces, like summer cottages, condos and all bedrooms really.”

Protect your toes and your floors ~these sturdy smoothly finished pieces are easily placed over the wheels or just the metal frame leg and make them less of a toe stubber and destroyer of your nice hard wood floors or carpet.

With handcrafted detail, Bed Boots measure 6” tall and 4.75” wide on all sides, with a 3 .5” square opening to accommodate the leg and or wheel. Each comes with two optional use half inch block risers that when purchasing a full set of Bed Boots that, in addition to guarding your floor, allow extra clearance for under bed storage of sweater and shoe bins.

Bed boots can also accompany a headboard. By choosing the color that complements what you already have, you can buy just a pair for the foot of your bed.

Dress up any size bed in any style home or apartment. Sets of four are just $170 and a pair for $90. Made in U.S.A.

AlignAcademy.com's Young Entrepreneurs Club has announced the official launch of her VIP program to give private investors the opportunity to be involved in projects that raise awareness on the need for safer homes for children. The VIP Program, which was recently unveiled in Jos, also provides timely information to protect private investors from costly traditional marketing techniques and dubious schemes. While exploring the notion that safe families are the bedrock of a profitable economy, the Young Entrepreneurs Club VIP Program gives investors the opportunity to support a worthy cause even as they make capital gains.

“Our goal with the Young Entrepreneurs Club VIP Program was not only to help investors with resources to improve the return on investment on their assets, but also to help reveal why more investors need to consider the welfare of children in their investment decisions,” said Engr Winston C Ikekeonwu of AlignAcademy.com. "Technically, assets are worthless if no one is willing to pay anything for them. Today's adult consumers are not mere statistics; they are yesterday's children. That is why being interested in the welfare of children is really enlightened self-interest. The World Health Organization estimates that since last year, up to 1 billion children aged 2 -17 years have experienced physical, sexual or emotional violence. What sort of consumers do we expect to have tomorrow if we don't prevent further abuse of our children? Safer families will help us save our children, which will result in well-balanced customers in the near future."

Available for the first 100 participants of the Young Entrepreneurs Club VIP Program will be special exclusive alerts which will feature deals such as deeply discounted investment homes, early-stage business funding opportunities, and other projects previously available only to a few key players such as investment bankers and venture capitalists. Participants and their family members will also be able to access special investment classes, networking opportunities with fellow investors, vacation packages, and other bonuses.
