Reti contro la guerra, verso il 18 marzo 2006 11/30/2005 Le reti che avevano nel febbraio scorso organizzato il "Forum del movimento contro la guerra", dopo l’incontro nazionale di domenica 13 novembre a Firenze si sono date un nuovo appuntamento per sabato 3 dicembre alle 10.30 a Roma c/o la sede di via dei Mille 6 (secondo piano - Centro diritti sociali) in occasione della manifestazione nazionale per i diritti dei migranti. A Firenze erano presenti varie organizzazioni e la discussione è stata interessante e soprattutto operativa. Dall’incontro nasce una proposta a tutto il movimento pacifista e contro la guerra. Innanzitutto si è concordato che il 18 marzo 2006 (che anche quest'anno sarà una giornata internazionale promossa dai Forum Mondiali decentrati) viene proposta una manifestazione nazionale, per la quale si lavorerà ad un appello unitario coinvolgendo anche tutte le reti e le organizzazioni del movimento contro la guerra.

Iraq: rapiti quattro operatori, sparizioni epidemiche 11/30/2005 Sono stati rapiti quattro operatori dell’organizzazione non governativa pacifista canadese ‘Christian peacemaker teams’ (Cpt) che ricorda il loro impegno in attività umanitarie e ‘dalla parte degli iracheni’. Cpt ricorda di essere stata la prima a denunciare gli abusi sui prigionieri nel carcere di Abu Ghraib, prima dei media internazionali. L'insicurezza e i rapimenti hanno spinto quasi 200 commercianti di Baghdad a fuggire. Le gang di rapitori non sembrano apparentemente scoraggiate dalla presenza cospicua di macchine della polizia. Anche molti intellettuali iracheni sono stati assassinati nelle principali università del paese. Una "guerra contro l'intelligenza", come l'ha definita il giornalista Robert Fisk, che vuole costringere all'esilio la cultura che si oppone all’occupazione. Secondo le organizzazioni per i diritti umani di Baghdad, le ‘sparizioni’ hanno raggiunto proporzioni epidemiche negli ultimi mesi.

An opportunity to reduce poverty in South Asia 11/30/2005 We are approaching a decisive phase in the negotiations, with the World Trade Organisation (WTO) ministerial meeting in Hong Kong just six weeks away. The outcome hangs in the balance. South Asian countries have a unique opportunity to tilt that balance in favour of making the Doha Round a success. India, in particular, has an opportunity, along with Brazil and China, to play a leadership role in the developing-country grouping called the G-20. Since it undertook far-reaching trade reforms in the 1990s and more recently, India has grown rapidly and is now a major competitor worldwide. Read more Related: [South Asia]

Priority need to be given to Bijli, Sadak, Paani for Rural India 11/29/2005 India is just not about its cities. The real India lives beyond the cities and urban landscapes. We must ask ourselves whether we have even been able to provide roti, kapda aur makan to the teeming millions living in our villages? Why do we ignore the little children in dusty clothes begging at traffic signals in our cities? To that extent, isn’t this slogan of the 70’s still valid in 2005? If India lives in its villages, then it is the responsibility of all of us to make that real India—empowered. Mr. And it needs will power, vision and commitment to achieve that.
