"this is a very modest step forward which is being spun as a colossal leap"
P. Watt of Action Aid
"President Bush's pledge today will mean an extra nine hundred million dollars each year for Africa and this is a welcome first step. Hoewver it is widely calculated that $25 billion is needed annually for Africa so we hope the announcement today is just the beginning of a much bigger US commitment to fighting poverty." - Oxfam


the USA will double its aid to Africa in the next five years to those states which are "reforming" on the basis of trade and support the "war on malaria".
It will not cancel debt, it will not cancel US drug patents, it will not increase US corporation tax donations on african mining or commidities. read full story / add a comment

D’ Bitchin kitchin needs your help…
Those of you traveling to the g8 in Scotland may be aware that the second largest kitchen crew will be traveling over from Ireland. However bureaucratic nonsense has made it impossible for the original bitchin kitchin mini bus to travel, and now today mechanical problems have left the back up vehicle in a similar position.
So can you help? Do you (or someone you know) have a suitable vehicle? The kitchen crew is already on the road so its just equipment cookers, pots plates…
This equipment is desperately needed

De Facto: The Rossport five face jail

Today (Wed) in the High Court five men from Mayo face possible jail sentences because they are in contempt of court. They broke the law to seek justice. The order of committal is being sought by Shell over the Corrib gas project.

The five men are Rossport landowners and part-time farmers, Willie Corduff, Phillip McGrath and Brendan Philbin; Rossport resident and musician Vincent Mc Grath and Ceathrú Thaidhg resident and retired teacher, Mícheál Ó Seighin.

The five are accused of contempt because they ignored a High Court injunction prohibiting them from interfering with Shell seeking access to lands in Rossport. Shell is also seeking a High Court injunction today preventing people from denying vehicular access to a Shell compound in Rossport. Around mid-day on Tuesday of last week (June 21) a stand-off began (and is continuing) between local drivers and a compound-bound lorry on the read full story / add a comment
