Tottenham rioting after police shooting demo
07-08-2011 00:55
Tottenham broke out in riots this evening after a protest of 150 people outside the police station against the police shooting of local man Mark Duggan on Thursday night near the Broadwater Farm estate. The riots went on for some hours and have now moved off the main road into the side streets as locals gather to watch and join in the trouble. The area is now swarming with police vans with riot cops trying to clear the area but general confusion reigns about what is going on. A few shops, a bus and a bank were set alight and talk of some cop cars set alight.

As the British government's toothless torture inquiry is abandoned by ten NGOs and lawyers for the former Guantánamo prisoners, who have long recognised that it was nothing more than a whitewash, but have now given up on even trying to engage with it, politicians n the Tory-led coalition government are not the only ones feeling the heat. Yesterday, in a world exclusive, the Guardian's Ian Cobain exposed a top secret document, entitled, "Agency policy on liaison with overseas security and intelligence services in relation to detainees who may be subject to mistreatment," which "reveal[ed] how MI6 and MI5 officers were allowed to extract information from prisoners being illegally tortured overseas."

SchNEWS: From Cradle To Graves: As The West Causes More Problems Than Droughts
05-08-2011 08:51
East Africa is currently experiencing one of the worst famines in recent history, with most of Somalia and large parts of Ethiopia experiencing severe food shortages. The west has been quick to offer the solution – more aid, more trade and flying in David Cameron (although he left early to try and save his job back home). This approach of aid, trade and sending rich white men to point at the locals has been the standard response to African disasters for the past 25 years and yet little progress seems to have been made.
It is true that the region is in the midst of an extreme drought and as a result pasture is parched and water sources for livestock have dried up. Unfortunately this means that if you bought an Ethiopian farmer a goat for Christmas, it’s probably already dead. However, this famine was far from unavoidable. Whether or not the drought itself can be blamed on human activity is debatable, yet the impact of western “foreign policy objectives” is far clearer and, conversely, much less reported.
