Sudan: Humanitarian Access into Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile States

Overview and Recommendations of USCIRF Issues New Policy Brief.

(WASHINGTON DC) - Agreements by the Government of Sudan (GoS) and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) concerning aid operations are an initial step that may allow the international community to address the needs of hundreds of thousands of displaced persons.

The signings by the GoS and the SPLM-N of separate Memorandums of Understanding on August 5, 2012 will hopefully allow humanitarian access into Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile, if the parties can agree to the details of aid operations.

Among American Jews, Zionism Is In Retreat

Identification with Israel is declining among American Jews, particularly young people.

(WASHINGTON DC) - There can be little doubt that the philosophy of Zionism----Jewish nationalism----is in retreat among American Jews. Zionism holds that Judaism is not a religion of universal values, but an ethnicity.

It believes that Israel is the "homeland" of all Jews and that those living outside of Israel are in "exile".

Ethnic Cleansing Nightmare: Buddhist Bloodstains on Burma`s Barren Soul

Warning: Extremely Graphic Photos - CAUTION!

(SACRAMENTO, CA) - Just what is it that forces human beings to behave like the most savage beasts? Here are a couple of insights I am gleaning from my work.

First, when committing war crimes, be sure to do a really thorough job of destroying the person or people you attack. Make their final appearance 'unacceptable' to the photo editors and then your murders of civilian innocents will never be seen by anyone!

Syria`s Propaganda War

To the embarrassment of the opposition army, the presence in Syria of jihadist groups, some claiming links to Al-Qaida, is an established fact.

Media access to hard facts is limited where it exists at all, and anyway most media want a simple, sympathetic narrative, and want it now.

Tamils going through Katunayake International airport are targeted.

(COLOMBO Sri Lanka Guardian) - The government’s big banging road development projects in the north is becoming money minting machinery for the police/army patrols and check-points.

(UPDATE) Help Save My Friend: a Tortured Orphan in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Help one person escape a needless death...

(SACRAMENTO, CA) - I have been in contact with a person whose entire family has been murdered by the rebel group M23.

What are they to do... what am I to do? I am hoping to attract the attention of a safe and trustworthy organization or individual to help deliver this person to safety as their life hangs in the balance with the M23 forces every day.
