Whenever I visit Iran, like when His E...

Certain principles or measures were applied to restore and revamp the small island of PSEUDO- MODERNITY, expand it and deepen its quality. The following were the stimuli applied (Fundamental principles of Musevenomics) 1. Security of persons and property. The NRM government had heavily invested in a disciplined UPDF army, which espoused values of human rights, people freedoms and protection of persons and their property.
