On the 7th of February of 1986, the Haitian people, after years of revolt against the rich and the powerful in their country, toppled one of the most brutal dictatorships that history has recorded, the one led by the Duvalier family. But not only they did put an end to the US-backed reign of terror of the Duvaliers, but as well, the people were pushing forward a series of popular demands that were meant to radically change the face of Haiti: this was a truly revolutionary struggle.

Today, Haiti is again under the yoke of oppression: this time, under a UN military occupation called MINUSTAH, headed mostly by subservient Latin American governments, but engineered from the US and France, the main imperialist powers controlling Haitian affairs. read full story / add a comment

Statement by Des Dalton Vice President of (Republican) Sinn Féin Poblachtach

The visit to Dublin on February 5 of a member of the British royal family, Andrew Windsor, can only be viewed as part of the normalisation of British rule in Ireland. Staged events such as this are used to support the pretence that British rule in Ireland is now accepted by the Irish people.

In order to survive we must eat, when there is a plentiful supply of food we live in the knowledge that since variety is the spice of life and food is in abundance, there is nothing to think about and less to worry about. Despite our preferences towards organically grown produce, modern 21st Century life styles dictate that the foods we eat must be readily available, possibly precooked and ready for consumption at the click of a switch. read full story / add a comment

Yesterday I was horrified to see that politic campaigns are getting started and soon we will have to endure giant billboards of Michael McDowell face scaring us at every turn. Something you would not want to run into in a dark alley. But this got me thinking about a serious question, should political parties have anything to do with Students’ Unions? read full story / add a comment
