From the black block havin’ a go, to the clown army tickling cops and putting flowers in their hair, from marches to smashing McDonalds, gluing locks to throwing bricks and even it seems going to rock concerts– all of these activities have had the term direct action applied to them incorrectly. ... read full story / add a comment

Tá sé i gceist ag an Ord Buí mórshiúil ó Shráid Uí Chonaill go Teach Laighin a eagrú. Beidh grúpaí fé leith páirteach ann fé scáth "Love Ulster". Tá an chuma ar an scéal go bhfuil cead faighte ag na daoine atá á eagrú é seo a dhéanamh. Tá sé i gceist acu é a dhéanamh ar Sathairn éicint ach níl dáta cinnte go fóill. Tá sé i gceist acu freasúracht i gcoinne Éire Aontaithe a léiriu. Ní féidir linn géilleadh do dhream chomh binibeach suarach fealltach sin. Níl sé de chead againn lieann don dream seo a rogha nithe a dhéanamh. Iarraim agóidíocht mhór chun cur i gcoinne an tíorántacht seo.

Thirty thousand colombian asylum seekers wait to be accepted into Ecuador. Some of them come from the region of Putumayo, south of Colombia. This is the most affected area by the indiscriminate spraying of crops from the air that US companies, in association with the Uribe Administration, have been carrying out since december 1999 in order to eliminate coca plantations. Or so they say. Since the beginning of this “War on drugs” instigated by the Plan Colombia, food crops have been totally devastated, animals are killed by the millions in the area, people suffer from skin and gastric disorders, and some doctors talk of the high risk of getting cancer, suffering miscarriages, genetic mutations…these people from south Colombia are exposed to, due to the spraying of their lands that breaks all sorts of environmental and human rights laws. But, what’s happening in Putumayo? And why? ... read full story / add a comment
