Find out how these women broke down gender stereotypes and changed the literary world forever.

In April, newspapers with news about the Central Committee´s Fifth Plenum and about NOF´s (Peoples´ Liberation Front) Second Congress arrived at the Prenies Refugee Camp in Albania.

Germany just cannot afford to forget. We can´t forget how many humans lost their lives because of this very racist ideology. How many assassinations will it take for the country to wake up to the danger from its own neo-nazis? Quo vadis, Deutschland?

During the Main NOF (People´s Liberation Front) Council meeting a checklist of people expected to speak and the sequence in which they were scheduled to make their speeches was made. Then after some discussion it was decided to welcome a representative of the women´s division responsible for digging trenches and carrying logs and stones for building bunkers in the Vicho Region. But despite the warm welcome there were some opposing voices.

Citizens have to seriously ponder of the utility (or futility) of investing significant amounts of limited public money India has in nuclear weapons and other arms and ammunition. Where should our money (public money) be invested? In bombs or in providing basic human amenities to every citizen? Should not governments provide social security to every citizen instead of so-called false sense of security that comes from nuclear weapons and other forms of weapons?

Grigor Prlichev, the poet from Ohrid, is unquestionably the most highly developed personality in Macedonian literature of the past century .The true perfection of his verses quite justifiably gained for him the flattering epithet a Second Homer. He shone as an impressive writer and impassioned lover of the fine word. With the gems of poetic expression is his long poem The Sirdar, Prlichev came to be the pride of Macedonian literary history. At the same time, as a writer he represents a unique phenomena in his vision and in the profundity of the creative tragedy of his own voluntary and uncompromising choice.

They walked all day and finally reached Nivitsi. At the checkpoint before the entrance into the village Evgenia was detained.

Not even her certificate which identified her position in large Greek letters was of any help.

In a half-lit room, sitting by the table placed in front of the window with a view of Mount Bela Voda, Zahariadis was writing something. He took a small break, just enough to take two or three sips of his tea, and at that moment he heard a quiet knock on the door. He put his cup to the side, collected his papers and placed them inside a newspaper.

Human rights reports, appeal letters and scholarly predictions of instability, conflict, war, genocide and ´politicide´ are prevalently treated as ends in themselves. They often make the hottest hard-hitting news of the day, but the next day they are dumped as irrelevant garbage. Trumping the entrenched culture of hypocrisy and promise-making by the international community, the most desirable practice is to turn information and knowledge into powerful tools of predicting risks and initiating preventative actions against regime elites and the internal forces that contend with them. How can it be ethical to know that human rights violations are being perpetrated against innocent victims, but remain inactive and silent? The knowledge and information we have need to serve life-saving purposes. While West keeps abundant data on the genocidal behaviors of the Ethiopian government against Oromos, Ogadenis, Anuak, and southern peoples, one may wonder what the international community is waiting for in order to act. Why are principal donors and enablers to the Ethiopian regime such as the United States, England, and other European powers postponing actions of stopping genocide and instability in Oromia and other targeted regions of Ethiopia´s south?

Obama's recess appointments are more than mere political gamesmanship or politics. Those appointments if left unchallenged will open a new a dangerous precedent for future Presidents of any party.

In one of his speeches during presidential elections 2010 Andrey Sannikov said: "We, Belarusian citizens, under the Constitution have a right to change authorities and freely elect our leaders. Even in today´s Constitution formalizes the principle of priority of the international law over the internal one, and international law does not allow fraudulent elections. The law is on our side in these elections. People are waiting for changes, as they had never been waiting for them in the last 16 years of the dictatorship. And it means that we have a chance to celebrate the New Year in a completely different, democratic Belarus." Unfortunately it did not happen and it turned out that Andrey Sannikov celebrated New Year 2011 in jail in the same dictatorial Belarus. The year 2011 was a very special year for the Belarusian opposition which is totally crashed. It is very possible to say that it does not exist anymore. There is total information silence inside Belarus and total information silence outside Belarus about what´s going on. Belarus dictatorship turned into a complete rotting swamp where any political opponent, any dissent can disappear any second in a complete information vacuum. As for a former 2010 presidential candidate Andrey Sannikov, his lawyers and relatives have not seen him since November 8, 2011. As Sannikov´s wife, Iryna Khalip, told BelaPAN news agency earlier, lawyer and relatives have still be trying to gain a meeting with him, but without success.

It is not enough anymore for the Belarusian regime to put people in jail, they want to destroy, to kill them. What caused that Statkevich who is in jail already to be re-sentenced to 3 years in prison? Why did the authorities are in no hurry to release political prisoners? The answer is simple. Andrey Sannikov and Mikalai Statkevich were two most promising presidential candidates. And Aleksandr Lukashenko knows about it. He got only 38% in the first round of the election and all opposition candidates got 42%. Sannikov and Statkevich were the most promising candidates with about 15-20% of votes. That´s why he hates them so much! Because if it was a real democratic honest second round of presidential election back in December 2010 he would be kicked out from his post in no time by Sannikov or Statkevich. Because both of them have got support of most of the Belarusian people. That´s why a bloodthirsty dictator Lukashenko wants to kill them in 2012 one way or the other and crash all the rest of the political prisoners. What is different this time, this year is that dictator Lukashenko is not alone in his bloodthirstiness. He has an eldest son and his name is Victor Lukashenko. Almost nobody knows nothing about this young dictator. He is 36 and he is appointed as an Assistant to the President of Belarus on National Security. And this year 2012 the position of Victor Lukashenko was strengthened by the KGB and the Border Committee, then through the Information Analysis Center (or Cyber Security Center), and now through the Investigation Committee which was created in November last year. So everything is now passing into the hands of Viktor Lukashenko and his team.

The call for a fresh agitation was in addition to Anna´s scheduled indefinite fast in Delhi or Mumbai from December 27 demanding a strong Lokpal Bill. It came on the heels of an all-party meeting failing to arrive at a consensus on Lokpal Bill. The argument of the government and some other organisations that monitoring millions of employees is impossible misses the point that the idea here is to give people an instrument and authority to which they can take their complaints to. How the Income Tax law is being enforced on millions of people is the right example of opposing Lok Pal on the lower bureaucracy. The very fear of getting punished, if caught, can itself be a powerful deterrent resulting in a big relief to the am admi.

The incident occurred as the 71-year old Indian minister was walking down the steps of a New Delhi Municipal Council auditorium after participating in a literary function. The youth broke away from a group of journalists and hit the Minister on his face. Pawar, the Maratha strongman lost his balance but quickly regained his composure and walked towards his car. The youth was identified as Harvinder Singh, a transporter from Rohini. He was overpowered by some journalists and private security guards. Raising anti-corruption slogans, he brandished a sharp object. He was arrested by the Connaught Place police and charged with voluntarily causing hurt, assault, criminal intimidation, using force to deter a public servant from discharge of his duty and attempt to commit suicide.

The re-release of Judge Birtukan Mideksa, leader of the Unity for Democracy and Justice Party, Ethiopia's largest opposition party, from prison on 6th of October 2010 has proven to be a no less potent topic for controversy than her re-incarceration on 29th of December 2008 among pundits and analysts. The paper attempts to unmask the motives behind the selection of the procedure that secured Judge Birtukan Mideksa's re-release from Qaliti prison and its ramifications on her political career. In so doing, I shall trace the latest decision by the government to release Birtukan for a second time in just about two years since her re-incarceration back to a couple of posts on Aiga Forum in January and September 2010 and link it to a hint made in public by the Prime Minister and to an article published in the Reporter on 2nd of October 2010, just about 3 days before her actual release, or a couple of days before the decision was made or communicated to the prison officials with a view to showing a pattern in the scheme of things preceding the taking of the decision for her re-release. It concludes that in both of Birtukan's sailings out of prison, the master of the ship was none other than the Prime Minister. One thing that the granting of pardon in both instances proved to all of us is nothing but the unbearable lightness of pardons. In spite of the cruel and inhumane treatment Birtukan received in the hands of her jailors, one thing that is certain is that she will remain to be a source of inspiration for all who work to advance basic human rights in Ethiopia and the world over.

Social scientists have been grappling with the question of why post-colonial Africa has failed to achieve any semblance of democracy, peace, stability and development. People have looked for solutions and paradigms everywhere, including state-building based on Western concepts of democracy. Nevertheless "changes" in the desired directions remain elusive. The aim of this paper is to review a book whose author attempts to provide answers to the predicaments within current political systems in Africa, and to the uneasy relationships between western social sciences and grand African social issues.
