Manifestazione del 27 gennaio a Washington
12/30/2006 Sono 2.989 i soldati statunitensi caduti in Iraq e il tragico annuncio della morte del soldato numero 3000 riunirà pacifisti, famiglie di soldati, antimilitaristi e ‘veterani contro la guerra’ il 27 gennaio nelle piazze di 140 città degli Stati Uniti per dimostrazioni contro la guerra. “Questa orribile e tragica tappa ci permette di ricordare a questo paese la quotidiana perdita di vite umane in una guerra che non doveva cominciare” - ha detto Nacy Lessin, co-fondatrice dell’associazione ‘Military families speak out’. Intanto secondo la CNN le forze armate degli Stati Uniti, in difficoltà nel raggiungere una sufficiente quantità di nuove reclute, stanno considerando la possibilità di ammettere nell'esercito un numero maggiore di persone prive della cittadinanza americana.

Syyskuussa taisteluja Keniaan paenneita somalialaisia
12/29/2006 Maailman ruokaohjelma WFP on joutunut lopettamaan humanitaarisen avun jakamisen helikoptereilla Somalian tulva-alueille maassa puhjenneiden väkivaltaisuuksien vuoksi. Väkivaltaisuudet häiritsevät myös ruoka-avun toimittamista maanteitse. Somalia kärsii pahimmista tulvista lähes kymmeneen vuoteen. Niitä ennen maata koetteli ankara kuivuus.

Kansainvälinen Punainen Risti on huolissaan erityisesti haavoittuneista, sotavangeista sekä sodan jalkoihin jääneistä siviileistä.

Irakilainen nainen lapsensa kanssa
12/27/2006 Irakin opetusministeriön mukaan kaksi kolmesta irakilaislapsesta on lopettanut koulunkäynnin. Ennen Yhdysvaltojen johtamaa hyökkäystä maahan keväällä 2003 lähes kaikki maan kouluikäiset olivat opintiellä. Vielä vuonna 2005 noin 75 prosenttia lapsista kävi koulua Pelastakaa lapset -järjestön mukaan.

12/21/2006 Länsi-Etiopiassa puhkesi syyskuun lopulla muslimien ja kristittyjen välisiä mellakoita, joissa menetettiin ihmishenkiä sekä tuhottiin kirkkoja, moskeijoita ja koteja. Etiopian evankelinen Mekane Yesus –kirkko on vedonnut yhteistyökumppaneihinsa avun saamiseksi kotinsa ja omaisuutensa menettäneille sekä kirkkojen jälleenrakentamiseen. Suomen Lähetysseura on myöntänyt tähän tarkoitukseen 15 000 euroa.

12/15/2006 Meksikon Oaxacan osavaltio ja kaupunki nousivat toukokuussa korruptoituneena ja alistavana pidettyä kuvernööriään vastaan. Maan hallitus lähetti kaupunkiin joukkoja tilanteen selvittämiseksi. Nyt levottomuudet ovat jälleen kiihtyneet. Kyseessä on ollut maan suurin sisäinen sotilasoperaatio zapatistojen kansannousun jälkeen vuonna 1994.

Refugees from Darfur in Djabal camp in Chad © UNHCR/E.Cue
12/12/2006 Durante le ultime settimane sono aumentati gli scontri nel Ciad orientale tra il governo e i ribelli, che hanno costretto le agenzie dell'Onu e numerose Ong attive nella zona a ridurre le operazioni di aiuto ai 200 mila rifugiati del Darfur e ai 90 mila ciadiani sfollati che gremiscono i campi della regione. "Quest'ultima ondata di violenza rischia di avere un impatto devastante in una regione dove migliaia di persone, rifugiati e parte della popolazione residente, dipendono dall'assistenza umanitaria esterna" - afferma un comunicato di Medici senza Frontiere. Anche oggi nuovi combattimenti sarebbero avvenuti nell’estremo est del paese a ridosso della frontiera con il Sudan, dove da mesi sono attivi diversi gruppi ribelli che nei giorni scorsi hanno attaccato postazioni governative nella regione di Abeché e Biltine.

Bare a Srebrenica
12/03/2006 I sopravvissuti di Srebrenica protestano contro il conferimento di decorazioni ai Caschi blu olandesi che nel luglio 1995 barattarono la loro incolumità con le truppe di Mladic che trucidarono più di 8000 persone. L'Associazione per i Popoli Minacciati (APM) protesterà lunedì 4 dicembre ad Assen in Olanda contro il conferimento di decorazioni ufficiali ai Caschi blu olandesi stazionati nel 1995 nell'allora zona di protezione dell'ONU esponendo un manifesto lungo 60 m e recante i nomi di tutti i 8196 morti del massacro di Srebrenica: i collaboratori dell'associazione insieme ai sopravvissuti e parenti delle vittime del massacro leggeranno i nomi delle persone trucidate. Durante i fatti di Srebrenica, i 600 Caschi blu dell'ONU, le tre compagnie olandesi Dutchbat I, II e III, non intervennero: motivi e circostanze non sono ancora stati del tutto chiariti. Nel 2004 il Tribunale Penale Internazionale dell'Aja ha definito ufficialmente il massacro, il più grande mai accaduto in Europa dalla fine della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, un vero e proprio genocidio.

12/01/2006 Globalisoituminen ei ole suinkaan johtanut uskonnon vähenemiseen, vaan päinvastoin uuteen nousuun. Uskonnon nousu on ilmennyt monimuotoisena, uudenlaisten yhteisöjen muodostumisena ja myös perinteisen konservatiivisen uskonnollisuuden leviämisenä. Fundamentalismi on osa tätä maailmanlaajaa liikehtimistä, Risto A. Ahonen sanoo.
