Activists Help Lebanese Refugee Kids - Tues 8th Aug - Photo Report

11-08-2006 23:22

Today I join activists from the Zico House Social Centre who are on a mission to cheer up the refugee children in this district. The centre had previously been home to a meeting space as well as offices for various progressive groups. The activists have well and truly risen to the challenge that they have been faced with, as hundreds of thousands of refugees had flooded in from the south of the city and the country. They have organised into committees to deal with different aspects of the daunting refugee situation. I am with the group that has formed to help the children of the refugees have some quality of life while they remain in overcrowded centres with little or nothing to do.

Driving Into Lebanon - Friday August 4th - Photo Report

11-08-2006 15:27

The border with Syria is total chaos. Going into Lebanon is easy, coming out hundreds of cars and lorries are stacked up in a never-ending queue. Some are HGVs desperate to get their goods and vehicles out of the war zone. Others are packed with refugees; the lucky ones with the right documentation and enough money to escape.

Appello per una mobilitazione antirazzista a Lampedusa il 9 e 10 sette

03-08-2006 18:56

La Sicilia è diventata negli ultimi anni la frontiera Sud dell’Europa e Lampedusa è il suo avamposto. Il tentativo di mascherare l’inarrestabile fenomeno politico-sociale delle migrazioni come un problema di ordine pubblico da contrastare, con la crescente militarizzazione delle frontiere e provvedimenti di polizia, ha prodotto soltanto l’istituzione di nuove forme di apartheid.

FILIPINAS EVERYWHERE

29-07-2006 06:18

In the context of the profound economic and political crisis in the Philippines today, what could be the significance of celebrating the one-hundred-year anniversary of the coming of Filipino contract labor to Hawaii? Are Filipinos the new compradors for the militarist U.S. Empire? Or are they harbingers of a new generation of combatants from the oppressed communities, from the internal colonies of the metropoles? At the turn of the last century, the revolutionary leader Rosa Luxemburg elegized the plight of the subjugated natives in "las islas filipinas." Today, U.S. Special Forces are back to reconquer the neocolony, with the natives no longer smiling, now up in arms, united with people of color in Mexico, Venezuela, Palestine, Lebanon, Hawaii, Nepal, and other battlefronts of our beleaguered planet. Whither the emerging Filipino diaspora?

Britain's youngest Prisoners - Lack of 'Duty of Care'

28-07-2006 10:07

The 'Hunger strike' by the parents of detained children at Yarl's Wood is still solid this morning. One of the mothers I just spoke to said that none of the parents took their children to breakfast this morning and will probably keep their children away from lunch and supper.

Children in detention are the forgotten children, often snatched' before dawn and imprisoned indefinitely. Somewhere this side of the wire are friends, teachers all wondering what has happened to these children and their parents.
