Reports of terrible tragedies suffered by the 240 refugees who were arrested and deported by the Moroccan authorities on December 23, 2006, began to reach us.

According to reports from Attac, a 5-month-pregnant Congolese woman was viciously raped on January 2nd. She was hospitalized but lost her baby in hospital. Since her rape, she is said to have been in a state of shock and refuses to speak.

According to Afrik.com, quoting Paulin Kuamzambi, the vice-president of Morocco Refugees Collective, four women were raped on the way back to Oujda (Morocco). There hasn't been any more information about the circumstances surrounding these rapes except that, in 3 cases, the rapers were Moroccans, while it was Algerians in the fourth.

Somalia: New Hotbed of Anti-Americanism

03-01-2007 09:10 | Analysis | World

How to Start a Civil War

02-01-2007 18:48 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Globalisation | World

"In "Crime fighting or Crime Cover-up", the German blogger "Freace" asks if the bombing of the Basra police station really was what we were told in the mainline media.

According to BBC reports, it was apparently the same police building in which last year 2 special unit Brits wearing Arab clothes and driving a car full of explosives had been detained and arrested after they had shot several policemen. The building was then stormed by British troops to free those obviously false flaggers."

In Plain Sight

02-01-2007 14:20 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | World

Welcome to 2007, the year of plain sight and little doubt! The criminal incompetence of the Bush regime is impossible to hide, thanks in part to a highly successful American son, Bill Gates – and everyone thought that Bin Laden posed the greatest threat to the American way of life! It was Bill Gates, the world’s most successful capitalist, who, a decade ago, accelerated the development of the “information super highway”. His superbly streamlined and devastatingly efficient marketing machine facilitated the age of open communication that many take for granted today.

Saddam is Dead, Long Live Saddam Hussein

31-12-2006 18:07 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | World

If there is one constant in regard to the Iraq imbroglio, it is the fact that the neocons told big fat brazen lies to get the United States to invade and occupy the country and they continue to tell lies to keep us there.

A Life of Crime

31-12-2006 12:17 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Repression | World

The execution of the murderer, Saddam Hussein, by American organised criminals, via their proxies in Iraq, highlights the fact that criminals vying for power determine the course of the world. The coalition of Bush, Blair and Howard is directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians yet these leaders commit their crimes with impunity. The defining principle is not law (as is claimed) it is brute force! Economic and military power determines who is a ‘criminal’ and who is a ‘saviour’, regardless of the similarity of the acts committed.
