Itä-Afrikasta annettujen raporttien mukaan paikalliset ihmiset eivät ole kovinkaan kiinnostuneita siitä, onnistuiko Yhdysvaltojen surmata ilmaiskuissaan kolme terroristiepäiltyä. Sen sijaan heitä huolestuttavat Yhdysvaltojen ilmaiskujen aiheuttamat kuolonuhrit ja muut seuraukset. Kysymys kuuluu: Mitä se merkitsee, että suurvalta voi rangaistuksetta tehdä ilmaiskuja köyhää maatalousmaata vastaan maan humanitaarisesta kriisistä huolimatta?

Nel quinto anniversario dell'apertura del campo di prigionia statunitense di Guantanamo, Amnesty International ha lanciato una campagna mondiale per la chiusura del "carcere della vergogna" e rinnovato il suo appello affinchè "tutti i detenuti di Guantanamo siano sottoposti a un processo equo senza ulteriori ritardi, oppure siano rilasciati". Anche il Segretario generale dell'Onu, Ban Ki-Moon, ne ha chiesto la chiusura: "Come il mio predecessore, sono convinto che la prigione di Guantanamo debba essere chiusa" - ha dichiarato. La struttura, realizzata dagli Usa nella base cubana di Guantanamo dopo l'11 settembre, ha visto passare nelle sue celle, secondo Amnesty International, piu' di 750 presunti terroristi provenienti da 45 Paesi. Oltre 400 sono ancora detenuti a Guantanamo.

Reports from East Africa show that local people seem concerned less about U.S. plans to kill three suspected terrorists and more about the loss of life and political fallout as a result of the United States' latest unilateral show of force.
