I am posting this news article from the Washington Post, because I want all of us in blogosphere to rally around Cindy Sheehan and give her our maximum cooperation and support everyday by day and all the way. All you bloggers in the US should go and join her in the protest and demand that President Bush must meet with her. No lip service on the blogs! Go out there and support Cindy Sheehan to justify her constitutional rights as a bona fide citizen of the United States of America. This woman just sacrificed her son in the war against terror in Iraq! Cindy Sheehan sacrificed her son for the sake of America! President George W. Bush must do his constitutional duty as the bona fide President of America and meet with Cindy Sheehan. Or lose the vote of confidence American voters have given him. No retreat and no surrender!

Chissano. The Chairman of the African Union, President Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria has sent the former President of Mozambique, Joaquim Chissano as a special AU Envoy to meet with Papa Robert "Never Say Die" Mugabe over the political crisis in Zimbabwe. We have done comprehensive reports on the issues earlier, so we don't need to overflog the old horse. As the saying goes, "You can force the horse to the stream. But, you cannot force it to drink from the stream." So, we wish honourable African statesman Chissano the best in his mission to Zimbabwe. And we hope that Papa Robert Mugabe will not turn it into a "Mission Impossible". Chissano to mediate with Zimbabwe. 10/08/2005 09:47 - (SA) Related Articles Mbeki, churchmen meet on Zim Mugabe gives land to military Mugabe honours DRC veterans 1/3 Zim teachers HIV positive Zim defence f...

New York the Big Apple and everybody can have a bite. But, there is more than meets the eye in public. Here is an interesting article on racial bigotry in America. But, I want to find out if indeed bigotry is an American heritage. Your opinions and views would be highly appreciated. The searchlight on terrorism has diverted the attention of most people from the evils of racism in America, because the ghouls from the past still haunt the souls today as we still see the shadows being cast on the streets of America. "Bigotry, An American Heritage" By John Pérez-Sampedro When I was a young man growing up in New York, I often heard people say " I hate Negroes or Jews or Speaks" and they expressed their views on the subject freely and with a certain pride. But things have changed, new laws as well as a new social perspective about the evils of discrimination, have forced those outspoken people into a hibernation of a sort. At least then, we new w...

MARADI, Niger, Aug. 7 - In the crowd of riotously dressed mothers clasping wailing, naked infants at a Doctors Without Borders feeding center just west of here, Taorey Asama, at 27 months, stands out for a heart-rending reason: she looks like a normal baby. Many of the others have the skeletal frames and baggy skin of children with severe malnutrition. The good news is that a month ago, so did Taorey. "When she came her...

Peter Eigen Nigeria Urged to Battle Corruption By AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE Published: August 7, 2005 LAGOS, Nigeria, Aug. 6 (Agence France-Presse.) The chairman of Transparency International, Peter Eigen, on Saturday urged Nigeria's president, Olusegun Obasanjo, to intensify his campaign against corruption in Africa's most populous country. "If Nigeria does not succeed, who else can succeed?" said Mr. Eigen, speaking in Abuja at a public forum on corruption, organized by Nigeria's own anticorruption agency. Transparency International recently named Nigeria one of the three most corrupt nations in the world. "We have to address individual acts of corruption," Mr. Eigen said. "This is a necessary approach. Go after these individuals." Mr. Eigen also criticized foreign firms and contractors who "import corruption" into Nigeria through thei...

I have overflogged this issue on the predicament of Nigeria since the beginning of Nigerian Times sites in the virtual world. And they said we have a listening President in Nigeria. But, what is the benefit in such a President if all he does is listening without learning. Because, from all the indications in the political leadership of Nigeria, it is apparent that the President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo does not learn any lessons from the tragedies of the past as chronicled in the annals of the political history of Nigeria. And he is a bad liar as he returned from the G-8 Summit in Gleneagles, Scotland, and told us that he had succeeded to secure highly beneficial debt relief for Nigeria. And several delegations of Nigerian communities went to Abuja the federal capital of Nigeria, to congratulate and commend him. But, the cat has been let out of the bag of the Paris Club that revealed the truth to us that our President lied to cover up his failures in his futile pursuits to c...

President Obasanjo and Prime Minister Patrick Manning in a diplomatic embrace Nigeria deserves to have a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. Because of her pivotal role in the leadership of Africa in the UN and in her commitment to the regional security and stable economy of Sub -Saharan Africa in peace keeping operations, technical manpower development, energy and food security in West Africa. The fact is, Nigeria is a regional power in the geo-political map of the world. In fact, Nigeria will be of immense benefit to the UN Security Council in the strategic imperatives for the implementation of the UN resolutions for global peace. Therefore, Nigeria does not need to lobby for this position. Because, it is even long over due for Nigeria to have a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. It is not a contest. It is our right. We believe that Nigeria and Egypt deserve the two new permanent seats earmarked for Africa on the United Nations Sec...

Depleted Uranium: The Trojan Horse of Nuclear War by Leuren Moret World Affairs – The Journal of International Issues, July 2004 www.globalresearch.ca 8 July 2004 The URL of this article is: http://globalresearch.ca/articles/MOR407A.html "Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot that it do singe yourself." William Shakespeare (1564-1616 ) The use of depleted uranium weaponry by the United States, defying all international treaties, will slowly annihilate all species on earth including the human species, and yet this country continues to do so with full knowledge of its destructive potential. Since 1991, the United States has staged four wars using depleted uranium weaponry, illegal under all international treaties, conventions and agreements, as well as under the US military law. The continued use of this illegal radioactive weaponry, which has already contaminated vast regions with low level radiation and will contaminate other parts of the world over time, is indeed a wor...
