An African Union-backed court has convicted Chad's former dictator Hissene Habre of crimes against humanity, including rape, sexual slavery, torture, and ordering killings during his rule.  Habre is sentenced to life in prison.  At least 40,000 people were killed from 1982 to 1990, leading some to brand Habre "Africa's Pinochet", referring to the bloodthirsty Chilean fascist.  The nine-month trial was held in Senegal, marking the first time in Africa that a dictator of one country was held to account in a neighboring nation.  "This verdict sends a powerful message that the days when tyrants could brutalize their people, pillage their treasury and escape abroad to a life of luxury are coming to an end," read a statement from attorney Reed Brody of Human Rights Watch.

The Iraqi Army and allied militias have commenced a full-scale assault on Falluja, the first city occupied by Islamic State in 2014 as part of the terrorist group's sweep across the Middle East.  Only a few hundred families have managed to escape the city before the dawn offensive, and it's believed that around 50,000 civilians are trapped in the city.  Along with Mosul, Falluja is one of two major cities held by IS in Iraq.

The Syrian Opposition's chief negotiator has quit the peace talks, claiming the UN-brokered talks are a failure.  Mohammed Alloush with the Saudi-backed rebel group Jaish al-Islam says the government of President Bashar Al-Assad won't stop bombing civilians and the international community doesn't seem interested in ending the conflict which is now more than five years on.  Western- and Saudi-backed rebels, as well as government forces, report several violations of a shaky truce reached in February.  The two main belligerents - Islamic State and Al Qaeda - are not part of the peace talks.

Islamic State is recruiting new members using statements made by fascist demagogue Donald Trump, who is running for US President on the Republican Party ticket.  Trump - who never served in the military - frequently talks of carpet bombing and deportations to deal with the abstract threat of terrorism.  "The jihadist narrative is that there is undying enmity between Islam and the modern world," said retired Gen. Michael Hayden, former head of the CIA and NSA.  "When Trump says they all hate us, he's using their narrative," Hayden added, "He's feeding their recruitment video."

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says "no Muslim family" should consider birth control or family planning - putting the onus of this dubious advice on women.  "We will multiply our descendants," said Erdogan, who has four children (before that time he had his balls kicked by a horse, so it's not even clear if he would need contraception anymore).  Turkey's population is 80 Million and growing - The United Nations Population Fund says Turkey desperately needs quality family planning services.  A fifth of married women have had abortions as a way of controlling their fertility.

Japan has put its military on alert for a possible ballistic missile launch by North Korea.  Patriot missile batteries have been raised to "ready" positions, and Japan's Aegis missile cruisers are patrolling the japan Sea.  South Korean intelligence detected preparations underway at a launch site in the North.  The Yonhap News Agency reports that officials believe it will be an intermediate-range Musudan missile, which Pyongyang tried to launch several times in April - each attempt, unsuccessful. 

Japan expanded the search for a missing seven-year old boy in the dense, mountainous woodlands of northern Hokkaido - where his parents abandoned him as punishment for acting up.  The area is known for its bear population, and attacks on people are all too common.  Yamato Tanooka is believed to be alone and without food and water, and the weather has been dreadful with strong storms moving through the area.

Mexican police have rescued football star Alan Pulido from a kidnapping ordeal.  The 25-year old was abducted on Saturday night in the northeast border state of Tamaulipas.  But Pulido overpowered one of the kidnappers and used his cell phone to call police, who tracked the GPS signal straight to the crime scene.

Canadian authorities have charged an Australian psychologist with child pornography for allegedly filming a boy in a public restroom.  The ABC says 41-year old Aaron Voon is believed to work as a child psychiatrist at the Successful Development and Therapy Centre in Perth.  He reportedly emailed colleagues to say he is closing his practice indefinitely to deal with the allegations.
