Latest rebellions in South Africa: Pics and analysis

But I see that they are generally using the resolutely anti-political language of 'service delivery protests' to explain what is happening - it reminds me of E.P.

U.S.: Honduras Coup a "Lesson" for Zelaya Not to Follow Venezuela's Path

24-07-2009 17:00 | World

"What a fantastically unwise statement to have made. Let's assure that it backfires on U.S. hopes." General Joe

It may not be Zelaya that is the "learner" here. It seems that the "Clinton" Dept of State is still behind the times in not seeing more clearly how "our world" has changed." The workers, farmers, students, and all the civil society of Honduras demand respect and space for true democracy from their "neighbor" to the north. The whole world is watching to assure that they get just that."

Poet who blew whistle on Sellafield dies.

Talented poet and former nuclear foreman Duncan Ball died on July 17th aged 49. He was a man who tried repeatedly to blow the whistle on unsafe practices in the Magnox plant at Sellafield where he was employed as a foreman.

Zelaya Heads Home to Honduras on the Anniversary of Bolívar’s Birth

23-07-2009 20:05 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Workers' Movements | World

"Presuming that thousands of Hondureños and Hondureñas will flock to the border to accompany their President, a land crossing like this presents various dilemmas to the coup regime, which claims to have 18 criminal charges lined up to imprison Zelaya, but blinked from the opportunity to arrest him on July 5, when it blocked a runway to prevent his airplane from landing. To arrest him, the regime would have to violently break through a multitude of its country's own citizens. If it does arrest Zelaya, he will become an even more powerful symbol from prison inspiring greater resistance to the coup."
