25.02.2005 The government rejects the findings of a survey by The Lancet which concluded that there have been tens of thousands of deaths of Iraqis since the US/UK invasion. Whatever the validity of this figure, is there any reason why a proper investigation should not be carried out? Email the Foreign Secretary.

Soldati italiani in Iraq - da Rainews24
17.02.2005 Il governo non potrà modificare il codice penale militare di pace e di guerra: la maggioranza è stata infatti battuta nelle commissioni riunite Giustizia-Difesa alla Camera quando per un voto è passato l'emendamento dell'opposizione promosso dall'on. Deiana che toglieva nella delega al governo la possibilità di riformare il codice. L'evento inatteso ha portato alla sospensione dell'incontro in commissione e la costituzione di una commissione ristretta per la riformulazione del provvedimento. "Governo colpito al cuore" - commenta l'opposizione, ma si tratta di una vittoria parziale. Occorre infatti mantenere alta l'attenzione anche sugli aspetti relativi al codice di pace e sulla effettiva libertà di informare e di essere informati nelle missioni "di pace" in zone di guerra.

Add your voice to the growing chorus calling for an end to U.S. involvement in Iraq. The warÂ’s soaring cost in lives and dollars and the recent Iraqi elections are focusing renewed attention on the quagmire in Iraq. A groundswell of calls for an exit strategy from Iraq is coming from all sides of the political spectrum.

Rifugiati iraniani nel campo di Ruweished in Giordania © UNHCR/M.Cierna
12.02.2005 Cresce la preoccupazione dell'Alto Commissariato dell'Onu per i Rifugiati (Unhcr) nei riguardi di un gruppo di 102 rifugiati iraniani di etnia curda giunti nelle scorse quattro settimane al confine fra Iraq e Giordania, in tre diverse fasi. I rifugiati, provenienti da Al Tash - un campo per rifugiati operativo da molto tempo in Iraq - si trovano al momento sul lato iracheno del confine tra Iraq e Giordania. È stato loro impedito sia di entrare in Giordania che di raggiungere un altro gruppo di 660 rifugiati che da ormai un anno e mezzo vivono in un campo nella cosiddetta terra di nessuno situata fra i due paesi in questione.

08.02.2005 I dalje je nepoznato da li je ikada izvršeno bilo kakvo ispitivanje tla i zraka poslije razaranja Vukovara i hrvatskog Podunavlja. Pokretanje Hrvatske lige za borbu protiv raka Vukovar bila je i prilika da brojni medicinski stručnjaci istaknu kako je na području Vukovara, ali i cijeloga Podunavlja, sve više bolesti raka, srčanih udara i sličnih oboljenja.

08.02.2005 The individual Iraqis who came out to vote clearly were very brave. They were voting for their hopes, for secure streets so children can go to school, for electricity and clean water, for jobs, and mostly for an end to the U.S. occupation. The elections, however, are unlikely to achieve any of those goals ; the violence is likely to continue, perhaps even increase. The U.S. occupation is still the problem, not the solution.

07.02.2005 Diverse reazioni in Croazia alla proiezione dello sceneggiato televisivo “Il cuore nel pozzo” sono segnalate da l'Osservatorio sui Balcani. Se tace la Zagabria ufficiale, secondo il quotidiano di Fiume/Rijeka Novi List, si tratta del peggior film di propaganda mai realizzato. Mentre, Furio Radin, rappresentante della minoranza italiana al Parlamento di Zagabria e della Unione dei Soldati Antifascisti, dichiara: "Non dobbiamo dimenticare quello che abbiamo dimenticato negli ultimi 60 anni, le foibe", ma ritiene che ancora oggi la questione sia troppo legata alla politica e sostiene la necessità di una ricerca della verità storica.

03.02.2005 Hrvatsko-američki vojni Memorandum daje novo značenje izrazu "gostoljubivost domaćina" - osoblje i postrojbe NATO-a na tlu Hrvatske njime dobivaju velika prava i neznatnu odgovornost.
Novi hrvatsko-američki vojni Memorandum, potpisan 15. srpnja 2004. izazvao je buru u našoj javnosti i prije nego je postao poznat sav njegov sadržaj. S pravom, jer svi dosadašnji međunarodni vojni sporazumi koji su u ime Hrvatske potpisivani, u pravilu su stranim postrojbama davali neshvatljivu slobodu djelovanja u Hrvatskoj. Dovoljno je spomenuti vojni dodatak Daytonskom sporazumu, odnosno "Sporazum Hrvatske i NATO-a o pravnom položaju osoblja i postrojbi NATO-a" potpisan 1995., čime su postrojbe namijenjene misiji uspostave mira u BiH dobile i na tlu Hrvatske približno ista prava, tj. kao da uspostavljaju mir i ovdje, te zato nikome ne moraju nizašto odgovarati.

03.02.2005 Somalia, subjugated by colonial powers, caught in the Cold War battles for Africa, ignored by the world, is perhaps the classic failed state but it is far from the only one. Hugh McCullum, who covered part of the civil war from Mogadishu in the mid-1990s, outlines the recent history of chaos and warlordism in Somalia and weighs the slim possibility that the present attempt at legitimate government will succeed.
