UK teachers back academic boycott of Israel 05/30/2006 Britain's National Association of Teachers in Further and Higher Education yesterday approved an academic boycott of Israeli higher education institutions that do not condemn Israel's "apartheid policy". The decision will have an official shelf life of less than three days, as on Thursday the two unions will merge, and the resolution will only be advisory to the new union.

Italia: l'appello pacifista arriva alla Camera 05/30/2006 Su invito del presidente della Camera dei Deputati, On. Fausto Bertinotti, alle 11.00 di ieri mattina sono stati ricevuti Gino Strada, Luigi Ciotti, Alex Zanotelli e Tonio Dell'Olio, primi firmatari dell'appello lanciato alcuni giorni orsono ai parlamentari per chiedere di "interrompere le missioni militari in teatri di guerra e ritirare le truppe italiane dall'Iraq e dall'Afghanistan". Nonostante il silenzio-stampa che ha accompagnato l'appello, ad oggi sono pervenute alcune migliaia di firme tra singoli e associazioni che sono state consegnate al Presidente della Camera. Nel merito dell'appello tutti hanno riconosciuto che, mentre per il ritiro delle truppe italiane dall'Iraq si registra una sintonia da parte del governo Prodi e dell'intera coalizione di maggioranza, diverso è l'atteggiamento sulla missione militare in Afghanistan.

Iraq: apre la settimana per resistere alla violenza 05/29/2006 Nella società civile irachena c’è chi sparge semi di speranza. Una rete di organizzazioni e individui appartenenti a diversi gruppi etnici, ideologici e confessionali si sta costituendo attorno alla pubblicazione on-line. Come dichiarano sul loro sito, “concordano tutti nell’adottare una strategia NONVIOLENTA come metodo di lotta migliore per costruire un Iraq indipendente, democratico, pacifico, forte e prospero”. Il sito raccoglie documenti e articoli su casi storici di lotte nonviolente che hanno portato alla liberazione di popoli da sistemi di dominio, o alla riconciliazione di società divise dalla guerra. Dopo aver subito la violenza della dittatura, quella dell’embargo ed infine quella dell’occupazione militare, la società civile irachena è ora frammentata da conflitti settari in cui le fazioni ed i mandanti sono difficili da identificare. Ad ogni modo, una larga fetta della popolazione condivide semplici e trasparenti obiettivi: pace con mezzi pacifici e auto-determinazione del popolo iracheno in un paese unito.

Turchia: il governo annuncia tre centrali nucleari per il 2012 05/18/2006 La cittadina di Sinop in Turchia, abbarbicata su di una penisola affacciata sul Mar Nero, è stata prescelta come il luogo dove sorgerà la prima centrale nucleare turca. Il piano del governo prevede l’entrata in funzione per il 2012 di tre centrali nucleari, dotate di reattori della potenza di 5.000 MW. Scontato il consenso proveniente dagli ambienti imprenditoriali - la confindustria (TUSIAD) ha dichiarato che la Turchia è comunque in ritardo in tema di energia nucleare; ma la decisione del governo ha mobilitato un vasto fronte di oppositori in tutto il paese. Si è costituito il “Coordinamento contro Sinop Nucleare” e lo scorso 29 aprile si è svolta una manifestazione alla quale hanno partecipato diecimila persone, attivisti di Sinop ma anche rappresentanti delle più diverse realtà della società civile turca, dal Fronte-Antinucleare alle organizzazioni sindacali, sono confluiti nella città per dire no a “Sinop nucleare” - riporta da Istanbul Fabio Salomoni dell'Osservatorio sui Balcani.
