The UN has been skimming off the top of the oil-for-food programme! Apparently, it was a cash cow not only for the previous saddam hussein regime (hence, perhaps it should have been called the oil-for-palace program), but for the UN and the defenders of the previous regime as well (france, russia). The game was to just keep the oil money and kickbacks rolling as long as possible and Iraqi people be damned. read full story / add a comment

The chief mediator in Sudan's peace talks ruled out a final deal by June after the government and rebels failed to make concessions on key security issues, such as whether they should merge or retain their armies. The latest round of talks ended late on Wednesday without overcoming key obstacles to ending a 20-year conflict that has killed around 2,000,000 people in Africa's largest country. President Omar Hassan Al Bashir and rebel leader John Garang, who met earlier this month in Nairobi, had hoped to sign a final peace deal by June when the current ceasefire expires. read full story / add a comment

Behind the dykes of the flat, northernmost German province of Schleswig-Holstein, the Frisian minority struggles for the future of it’s language. The North Frisian Institute has just published last year's financial results and this year's budget, and while last year showed a deficit of 28,000 Euro, this year's budget has an increased deficit of 36,000 Euro – even though one part-time staff member has already been laid off earlier this year. 'We have to save so much that the Institute will suffer and I do not know whether it will be able to recover,' says Tede Boysen, chairperson of the institute, to Eurolang. The Language Institute provides books and educational materials as well as conducting academic research and is the sole institution in the language area to provide such work. The North Frisian minority is estimated to be 10.000 active speakers with nine different dialects. This article was originally written by Brigitte Alfter from Eurolang. read full story / add a comment

Jonah House is a resistance community based in Baltimore. It was founded by Liz McAlister & the late Phil Berrigan in 1975 out of the expperiences of the draft board raid movement of the ant-Vietnam period. It pretty much gave rise to the plowshares movement in 1980 and has nourished many plowshares communities. Bill Frankel-Streit was arrested with me on the eve of the last Gulf War disarming a B-52 Bomber in upstate New York - it was put oout of action for the length of the Gulf War. We all received a year in prison. Bill is back in jail for resisting this war. The 3 Dominican nuns have recently been found guilty of sabotage for a weapons inspection and a disarmament action on an ICBM missile silo in Colarado. Every Easter Jonah House and Catholic Worker comunities gather in D.C. to carry oput nonvioelnet resistance at the White House, read full story / add a comment |
