The People's War in Nepal is surging from one success to another. Since "King" Gyanendra's Feb. 1 decree of emergency rule, any claim to being the sovereign of the Nepalese people has been shown for the fantasy it is. The wildcard in Nepal's civil war has been the marginalized parliamentary parties centered in the capital city. Up until today, they have respected the legitimacy of the monarchy and refused to recognize facts on the ground, including the censorship of their press, and the killing and jailing of their leaders by the isolated monarchy. The Congress Party, UML and the other main "legal" parties have declared in a New Delhi meeting that "This will be our last fight with the king. There will be no more compromise." The parliamentary parties were banned during the coup, and with no where left to turn have accepted the Community Party of Nepal's main demand, the convening of a constituent assembly to decide the fate of the Hindu monarchy. ... read full story / add a comment

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the entry into force of the Biological and Toxins Weapons Convention (BTWC) on 26 March 1975. The BTWC was the first Convention to ban an entire class of weapons of mass destruction, and is a key component of the international non-proliferation and disarmament framework. The European Union (EU) considers the BTWC to be the cornerstone of our efforts to prevent biological agents and toxins from ever being developed and used as weapons. ... read full story / add a comment

the main buildings of Kyrgyzstan's capital Bishkek have been taken by opponents to the regime there. Kyrgystanis very old fashioned, and thus occupying the presidential palace, the TV station the radio station and a handful of other ministries is really enough to say quite effectively "you're in charge now". ... read full story / add a comment

"This pacifistic flourish might even have been forgotten if not forgiven --along with the band's misguided foray into techno with Zooropa' --had it not been for Bono's egregious and now consistent legitimizing of right-wing politicians. There was, of course, Bono's serenade of Paul Martin at the Liberal leadership convention where the shipping magnate took over Canada's top job from Jean Chretien. Then, worse yet perhaps, there was his goodwill tour' to Africa with Paul O'Neil of the Bush Administration, helping to pretty up the White House while the rest of the world was up in arms and in the streets over its illegal war on Iraq. Around this time, Bono even struck up a friendly acquaintance with the loathsome Jesse Helms. Finally, then, in what would seem to be a pretty consistent devolution, comes the friendly chat with Paul Wolfowitz, no doubt a preview of future high profile efforts to rehabilitate the image of the World Bank and the war-monger now heading it up." ... read full story / add a comment

As governer of Texas George Bush, (the current supreme wookie of the fundamentalist churches in schism with those of Europe, Kiev, Ethiopia and the Lebanon) executed more prisoners than any other man entrusted with the death sentance in US history. The news that he has flown home to rush legislation through Congress to stop the withdrawl of medical assistance to a woman in a persistent vegetative state, could be understood to mean HE IS LOOKING FOR FORGIVENESS. or maybe not... ... read full story / add a comment |
