Hundreds of thousands of people are on the run, fleeing a war that rages in eastern Congo, in the provinces of North and South Kivu. They are frightened. Many are sick or wounded. Others have been harassed or raped, or have had everything they own stolen. The people of the Kivus are in a critical condition. The destiny of everyone in this region is shaped by the war. The story of their struggle to survive needs to be told. Today, November 20, humanitarian medical aid agency Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is launching an international multimedia campaign, entitled Condition: Critical – Voices from the war in eastern Congo. read full story / add a comment

More than a year after their homes were destroyed during the battle between the Lebanese army and the militant islamist group Fatah al-Islam, the majority of the refugees from Nahr al-Bared in North Lebanon find themselves in a difficult situation. Not able to return to their homes, stuck in pre-fabricated housing units and often unemployed, many of them feel frustrated and hopeless, only sometimes seeing a glimmer of hope. read full story / add a comment

Thirteen years ago today, on November 10th 1995, nine men from Ogoni land were hanged at Port Harcourt prison Nigeria. They had been tried in a military court by the Nigerian dictatorship. One of the men, the famous human rights campaigner Ken Saro Wiwa had been a particular thorn in the side of the Shell oil company, which found itself unable to operate in parts of the Niger Delta because of the work organisating people to peacefully resist against their destructive activities. In stark proof of who controlled Nigeria at the time, his family had been told by Shell executives that he would be spared if he would help the company. Saro Wiwa preferred to die with honour. read full story / add a comment

Changing Ireland’ has become the greenest magazine in Ireland. While we're celebrating, we are shocked to find ourselves leading the way. “‘Changing Ireland’ finds is now ahead of a range of popular commercial magazines that weigh down the shop-shelves with paper from virgin forests and inks derived from heavy chemicals. We should be following their lead into a greener world, not showing them the way,” said editor Allen Meagher. ‘Changing Ireland’, Issue 27, is the publication’s first ‘green issue’. The new edition is now on the web: www.changingireland.ie and the paper version is due out from Monday, Nov. 10th and it is available in Eason’s or directly by contacting ‘Changing Ireland’. read full story / add a comment

The United States of America took a giant step in the last week in the field of civil rights and human development when a man with Offaly ancestry was chosen to lead the nation. While there is no legal bar against people from Offaly or their descendants holding high office in the U.S., many were surprised that voters were able to overcome the widespread prejudice against the county. Men from Offaly (known as BIFFO's) have often encountered a "glass ceiling" whereby they would be trusted with a glass, but not a pint. read full story / add a comment

In a speech in July, Barack Obama stated that he wants to "re-deploy" American troops in Iraq "carefully" with their safety in mind and "responsibly" leaving behind a "sovereign" Iraqi government that can "take responsibility for its own future." In doublespeak that means Barack Obama is as committed as George W. Bush was to the imperialist American project in the Middle East - toppling anti-American elites and replacing them with pro-American elites to administer the American agenda. Obama is a wolf in sheeps clothing. read full story / add a comment

Thousands of people turned out to the Sinn Fein rally/march today (Sun 2 Nov) which opposed the 'home coming' parade by the notorious RIR regiment of the British Army. There was a large Ógra Shinn Féin presence on the day, with young republicans travelling from across Ireland. The rally/march was calling for an end to the ongoing illegal occupations in Ireland, Iraq, and Afghanistan and also to demand the truth for the hundreds of families who have been bereaved through the official British state policy of collusion and state murder. The UDR/RIR themselves where part and parcel of the murder machine. read full story / add a comment

A juvenile anti-war left in the US and Europe are hopeful that Obama, a left-leaning liberal Senator, will be an abrupt and positive change from the "worst President ever" George W. Bush. the story goes that the Bush policies of maintaining American economic and military dominance invited the 9/11 attacks and that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq which have led to the deaths of thousands of American soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians have become an endless quagmire, while the social divide between rich and poor has never been greater as the US economy is in free fall. The accepted "wisdom" is the Obama will turn American and the world around. But is this true? Absolutely not. Obama is in fact Bush 2. read full story / add a comment |
