travelled to the Kurdish area of Iraq to study and observe women’s activities there at close range for the first time in 2000. Then last summer I travelled to this region again to visit the non-governmental organisations of Iraq. When I arrived and came across the activities of Kurdish women, it was a very familiar environment for me, since I had done thorough research on Kurdish women in the recent decades, and also due to my familiarity with the NGO activities of Kurdish women in Turkey. In the Sulaymaniyah region of Iraqi Kurdistan I investigated eight women’s NGOs in detail. read full story / add a comment

In answer to growing animosity and the widely held view that the USA is a pariah among nations, compensatory responses from U.S. propagandists are becoming more frequent. The following media ‘staff report’ has been released to a number of international media outlets; India, Pakistan, Australia and Thailand to name the few. However, the ‘news’ release has received little coverage elsewhere, especially in locations familiar with U.S. double standards and hypocrisy. We refer to two Australian releases for our brief analysis. read full story / add a comment

The Prime Minister of Australia claimed today that he would contest the forthcoming Federal election as the underdog – another tired (and familiar) Howard tactic! The failing politician failed to mention that it was he who created the situation with his inane, ill-considered comments ranging from his hysterical criticisms of U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama, as the terrorist friendly candidate, to his astounding comments on HIV and immigration bans. read full story / add a comment

Some years ago, we had a tragic murder at Grange Gorman hospital of two innocent women. It was one of the most horrific murders in the history of the State. Another horrific point about it is the investigation of the Garda Siochana. Dean Lyon was a young drug addict. Depressive, suicidal and now in hindsight Dean had a walter mitty state of mind as a result of drugs. Yet Gardai had him incarcerated for 9 months in Mountjoy prison. Within a few weeks, they knew their mistake but a junior member within their ranks pushed the issue. Some time later, Dean Lyons, took his own life in London. read full story / add a comment
