Extract: Meanwhile, in Lagos, Kingsley Igbojionu is living in a hostel with his wife and two children. Unable, he says, to return to the countryside where he came from for fear of persecution, he has made several trips to the Irish embassy in Abuja to request help for his sick children, without success. Although he has solicitors working free of charge in an attempt to have his family readmitted to Ireland, he is not hopeful. 'We have no money, the children are malnourished and have been in hospital twice. At this point, if they allow us, we will send them back to Ireland alone, so that they may be put up for adoption. That's the decision my wife and I have made as we believe it's the best thing for the children.' ... read full story / add a comment

Barcelona Indymedia introduce the use of Esperanto The assembly of Barcelona Indymedia introduces esperanto as a new linguistic option to read the news from the central column and everything other than the right column. Esperanto is a language without a state, its house is the World. With its use we want to contribute to build a fairer world, in a way that nobody, for any reason of birthplace or economic level, will have more oportunity to have access to a command of languages which are imposed. What this means is that we are looking to prevent discrimination for linguistic reasons. ... read full story / add a comment

Weblog of a USan. http://davesnothereman.blogspot.com. .....Since the siege of Fallujah has started, things are a bit different. Helo ops (helicoptor operations) seem to run at all hours now and you can hear the constant roar of jets high in the sky making their bombing runs to Fallujah just to the north and west of us here. In the distance at night, it isn't unusual to see flashes in that direction from here. My brother-in-law working for Dyncorp has been on lockdown in the green zone downtown since Sunday.... ... read full story / add a comment

UP TO 2,000 elderly citizens in Limerick will be forced to pay for their refuse collection for the first time next year following the axing of a waiver system. The Irish Independent has learned that the city manager has received legal opinion that the waiver scheme is not legally grounded. Since the privatisation of the refuse collection in Limerick over two years ago, the local authority had been paying up to €200,000 per annum to waste collectors. The subvention is, however, set to be terminated from the end of this year. More than 2,000 now face charges of €320 per annum. ... read full story / add a comment
