Paraguay – Duelling is Illegal

Some websites across the Internet have claimed, as fact, (just for my emphasis), that in Paraguay, duelling is legal! However, those duelling must meet specific requirements. One such condition is that the participants must be blood donors. 

A duel is when two people agree to fight with weapons and follow the combat rules.

However, according to the Mississippi Library Commission, this is more fiction than fact. In Paraguay, duelling is illegal. Ms. Gloria Montiel confirmed this from the Embassy of Paraguay in February 2010.

Ethiopia – It’s 2012 in 2019

The Ethiopian Calendar is different from the Gregorian Calendar and the latter is what most of the world goes by.   The Ethiopian Calendar has thirteen months in a year, while the Gregorian one has twelve months.   Currently, the year in Ethiopia is 2012.   The following links may be helpful in shedding more light on this.

Brazil – Home of the most “Uncontacted People”

I really don’t know the reason why. However, whenever I hear about an uncontacted group of people living in the forested area, my mind is always blown.  There are so many questions that run through my mind about them. Nevertheless, this is not about me. It is about Brazil, and in this country’s forested areas, there are about 100 tribes or groups of people living there.  Brazilian National Indian Foundation is responsible for their care from the outside world.    Note https://www.survivalinternational.org/tribes/uncontacted-brazil https://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/rio-politics/brazils-funai-calls-army-to-help-protect-isolated-indigenous-tribes/
