The current population of East Timor is approximately one million souls while the value of its natural gas and oil reserves amount to billions of dollars. However, the tiny new island nation is impoverished with above 35% unemployment and a rural based economy. Without elaborating further, Timor-Leste presents an extremely volatile situation as greedy interests, primarily America via its ‘World’ Bank and Australia-New Zealand acting as the military arm, poise themselves to exploit the impoverished people and nation of Timor-Leste. read full story / add a comment

The Workers Solidarity Movement, along with anarchist organisations throughout the world, refuses to take part in parliamentary elections.

There is a new article over on the oildrum.com website about: Peak Oil and Senegal. The author of the piece recently visited the country for himself and noted that they generate about 75% of their electricity by burning oil. This makes them very vulnerable to price increases since they are a relatively poor country and will have difficultly affording it.

This story is interesting because it is probably a relatively good model of how Peak Oil will affect much of the Third World. read full story / add a comment

This meeting is the second in a series of public access meetings being organised by the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland. It is being run by the Faculty of Public Health Medicine. The choice of topic - our relationship with alcohol - has been chosen because alcohol related problems are among the top three health problems globally according to the World Health Organisation. We know that in Ireland we have particular problems over and above most countries. The aim of the meeting is to generate public discussion on our alcohol problems and suggest solutions. There is no charge to attend but registration is required. read full story / add a comment
