The voice of the cartoonist will live on #I 

AM CHARLIE

 They died for their freedom of speech!!

charlie Hebdo portrayed as a cartoon  


Are you not glad you are living in a democratic country? I mean like really. I fail to understand why other countries are said to be democratic while they are buy silencing people who voice their opinions as if they are silencing flies.
Maybe the largest word in their bill of rights and constitution human rights charter, should be ‘freedom of speech’ followed by its explanation in a simple English since some leaders fail to understand what it means.

I doubt any of us could imagine being killed for your right, saying your opinion publicly, its sad cause 10 of the Charlie Hebdo publication staff were killed on a terrorist attack on the 07th of January

ITS A UNIQUE SATIRE MAGAZINE


The Charlie Hebdo magazine is a weekly satirical magazine always published on Wednesday it features cartoons, reports, and carrier’s controversial arguments stating its different opinions on the practices done by the front nationalist national front party.
They make jokes about the politics and the religion thorough the drawings of cartoons, hilarious work indeed could I be right if I say their cartoons are a way of rebuking the countries religion and its political side and them emphasising that they won’t be bound to its practises.

  A DRAWING HAS NEVER HAMMED ANYONE

 Can’t we spare ourselves the trouble of wanting to analyse, research the findings of what led to the attack of the editors in the Charlie Hedbo media house
DUH!!! I believe it is true even without proof that they were attacked because of controversial Muhammad cartoons the Charlie Hebdo media house published, I mean it’s obvious these pictures can make Mohammed  so mad.

 One of the unique cartoons that led to the terrorist attack and made our twitter accounts buzzing with #charlie hebdo, of course it went viral on social media with information as it unfolded
All around the continent people showed their grief. it is one of the most popular hash tags ever used on social media.
Truly speaking I was inspired by the people around the world and who were so brave to protest  and demand their freedom of speech and expression .#I am charlie in five days it had more than 5 million hash tags on twitter.

#TAG AND BE INFORMED ON TWEETER

i am one of the people who are learning to rely on tweeter for every newsworthy information, like the issue at hand i first head it on tweeter before traditional media broadcast-ed it amazing how media advanced. for me i think it was very wrong having countries that still wanna dictate and control people when what is said doesn't suit them. make your voice be heard # on social media

    I think that people should be allowed to voice out in a democratic country in regardless of what they are saying. So good one.

    Bongi I get that Chalie cartoonists where expressing themselves through drawing in a Democratic country, but I seriously think these artists take this way too far with some of their drawings. Their drawings seems to be condoning hate. My question to you is where does an artist draw the line coz they seem to be selective sometimes?

      honey what happened to the freedom of expression, i believe that cartoonists publish news also like journalists the only difference is that they use art and creativity to portray the storie

    Very unfair and its so wrong. It's a democratic country we live in but why the killing? it was way to much to take other people's souls or lives just for Media.Just like any other comedians making jokes and then people laugh,that's it!

    I am Charlie, I say these words because I live in a democratic country where every body is allowed to have different opinions and are free to voice them. Freedom of speech should be permitted globally, Really we can not have such situations dat people get killed for having a different opinion.

    The two gunmen who terrorized Charlie Hebdo identified themselves as members of the Islamist terrorist group Al-Qaeda's branch in Yemen. Which means the French government had nothing to do with it.

      interesting how a story can have many theories or rather let me say sources, even so what is it doing as taking an action on this issue?
