From The Inside Out: Reconciliation Is More Than Possible

The military conflict is over, but does building relations between Sri Lanka’s ethnicities need to be made a priority?

(COLOMBO, Sri Lanka) - What’s in a name?

We chose our name ‘Voices for Reconciliation’ after much deliberation, because we felt it went to the heart of our aims: the creation of a safe space for the sharing of different viewpoints, to encourage constructive and collaborative dialogue through which people could understand each other better.

The South African Movement of Yesterday is the Congo Movement of Today

Jennifer Fierberg interviews Kambale Musavuli

(WASHINGTON DC) - The war in the D.R. Congo is not improving and is actually getting worse by the day. The M23 rebel group backed by the Rwandan Military has been terrorizing the Eastern Region of the Congo for many months.

Hundreds of thousands have been displaced, raped or killed. The International Community began sanctioning Rwanda by withdrawing or freezing foreign aid payments over a UN report which provides substantial and credible evidence that Rwanda is arming and financially backing this rebel group, which Rwanda denies.

The National Consensus on the Mutilation of Every Newborn Male

It forces us to face one of the most peculiar occurrences in Israeli life.

(TEL AVIV Ha'aretz) - The main element at play regarding circumcision is the majority rule.

This rule can only be broken by regulation from above; not heaven, but the governing power...

Will UNHRC Initiatives End the Lankan Genocide Despite the Re-Invigorated South Block Captive India

(GRAPHIC PHOTOS) The end of Sinhala oppression is only feasible once its military occupation of the North is ended.

(COLOMBO, GroundReports) - Colombo boastfully hawks its National Action Plan (NAP) implementing all the inconsequentials in the LLRC’s proposals but omits the crucial political element.

The NAP is a diversion to tire out the international community away from efforts to hold Lanka accountable for its grave crimes against humanity.

Can the NAM Summit bridge the Iran-Egypt Gap?

The NAM Summit, Iran, and Syria: A Coup against the West?

(ROME) - The upcoming summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) will be held in Tehran from August 26 to 31, 2012.

The NAM and its summit are mostly ignored in the Atlanticist world of the United States and NATO, but this year’s gathering has gotten the attention of the Atlanticists and their press.

Wednesday Call with Cindy and Craig Corrie

We stand with the Corrie family. As gently, compassionately, and courageously as we can, we stand with Rachel Corrie.

(SAN MATEO, CA) - I can’t imagine the pain of losing a wonderful daughter – as Craig and Cindy Corrie did in 2003. Then on top of the tragedy a judge tells them Rachel shouldn’t have been standing for justice, she should have just run away.

You can hear directly from Craig and Cindy tomorrow night (if technology permits).

Juki Girls, Sinhala State Terrorists and War Criminals

GSP or other concessions are not coming back as long as State Terrorist and War Criminals run the country.

(SAN PEDRO, CA) - It is the responsibility of the servile Sinhala media, UNP opposition and other opposition to explain to the "Juki Girls" making Jungies to the Sudhies, and the Bolawathiies in the Middle East and Colombo why they are suffering at very low wages, and ill treatment.

Of course the Juki Girl or the Sinha racist journalist or editor who wrote that article does not understand the simple economics of the affects of the GSP or the garment industry.

RACHEL CORRIE WINS!!!

Israel drove a very large nail into its own coffin this morning.

(WINDSOR, N.H.) - As expected, Israel granted itself immunity in the Rachel Corrie case. The lesson: One must never expect any sense of integrity or decency from Israeli courts.

The blinders placed upon the heart and soul of Israel, through its mistaken notion of having been chosen as the only true children of god, have covered the eyes of too many generations to ever be opened to light, to reason, to logic, to Truth, Justice and Peace.

Socialization of Violence and Abuse in Child Abuse and Child Molestation
