Green Band, Blue Band and smokes of Bangla Spring
Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury
"The sources within Bangladesh Army has for the first time, endorsed the existence of a large number of Islamist fanatics and Jihadists within the Armed Forces. This again has put the very image of Bangladesh Army into stake in the eyes of the international community, and especially to the United Nations, which employs a significant number of members of the Bangladesh Armed Forces for the United Nations Peace Keeping Forces. While Bangladesh Armed Forces enjoy high reputation for its brilliant performance in United Nations Peace Keeping Forces, it may not be strange, if any of the UN member countries or even the top policymakers of the United Nations would now raise fingers at those members in the United Nations Peace Keeping Forces from Bangladesh Armed Forces, saying, there might have been hidden agents of Islamist fanatics or Jihadists, which would be extremely risky for many of the Western nations and their armed forces, who also are members of the United Nations Peace Keeping Forces."
Movie Review: COURAGEOUS – ´Honor Begins at Home´
Rev. Michael Bresciani
Courageous is triumphantly American and unashamedly Christian.

It is the idea of standin...

Ethiopia Rigime (TPLF) Masterminded The Attack on European Tourists?
Orion Asmelash
Looking at Ethiopia's regime track records in the past the rumors regarding the killings of European Tourists as being masterminded indirectly by the regime's intelligence forces seems to be very convincing if one sees it in the light of wikileaks report from the October 6, 2006 US diplomatic cable sent from Addis Ababa to Washington DC by ambassador Vicki Huddleston , the evidence is too big to ignore. The cable reads: "A series of explosions were reported in Addis Ababa on September 16, killing three individuals. The GoE announced that the bombs went off while being assembled, and that the three dead were terrorists from the outlawed Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) with links to the Oromo National Congress (ONC). An embassy source, as well as clandestine reporting, suggests that the bombing may have in fact been the work of Government of Ethiopia security forces."

Beyond Human Rights Violations: Oromia (Ethiopia) at Highest Risks of Instability, Genocide and Politicide
Qeerransoo Biyyaa
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?
Andrey Sannikov Disappeared… in Jail
Michael Batiukov
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.
Mikalai Statkevich Who is in Jail is Re-Sentenced to 3 Years in Prison
Michael Batiukov
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.

Destiny 2000, Destination and the cheated millions of Bangladeshi people - I
Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury
It is learnt that Destiny Tree Plantation Limited offered alluring "packages" to its members and the people, where the company claims to possess 60,000 acres of land in Bangladesh. Meanwhile, Destiny Tree Plantation Limited has already collected more than Tk. 65 thousand crore from the people by selling "packages" of the Destiny Tree Plantation Limited, though Destiny 2000 Limited or Destiny Tree Plantation Limited do not possess even a fraction of the claimed land in the country. According to a number of sources inside Destiny 2000 Limited and Destiny Tree Plantation Limited, the company has already sold more than 120 million "tree packages" to the people, by giving false and fabricated information. In some cases, fake pictures of tree plantation were taken from Chittagong Hill Tract and Sundarban mangrove forest areas, to befool the prospective buyers of the "Tree Package".
Rebels transforming Libya into Sharia state
Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury
And let remind my readers the recent telephone calls between Hamas kingpin Ismail Haniyeh and Mustafa Abdul Jalil, where the Hamas man congratulated the NTC boss on their "victory" and invited him to visit Gaza. NTC leader Abdel-Jalil promised to respond to the invitation soon. Since NTC was put into administration of Libya, the first-ever invitation NTC boss received is from Hamas. This is also a point to carefully assess, keeping in mind that, under President Obama´s patronization, new allies of Hamas and Al Qaeda are gaining power in a number of African and Arab nations already. Before Obama will leave White House, it is anticipated that, he will be able to establish few more Libya-alike Sharia states in African continent and the Arab world.

The Unbearable Lightness of Pardon: Reflections on Birtukan´s Second Sailing
Alemayehu Fentaw
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.

A Judge suggests that a young lady be sent to a Mosque for community service for her crime against a Muslim. Would he have sent a Muslim to a Church if it were reversed? Doubt it.

COLD HARD FACTS, ANYONE? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE WEST DRIES UP?
Joseph Raglione

White House Extraterrestrial petitioners must apologize to their supporters
Gianluca D'Agostino
Like every issue involving the government, the ET petition´s response lies within the boundaries of the United States Federal Law system and its mechanisms. This means that when you petition such an important government institution that has at its own disposal the world´s top legal advisors, you cannot simply write a question as if you file a Police complaint. It is at least strange that the two petitioners ignored such a thing before questioning the White House...

There is No Place For the Dictator Lukashenko in the International Ice Hockey Hall of Fame!
Michael Batiukov
Beginning in 1997, none of the results of elections conducted in Belarus had not been recognized by the international community. In 1999/2000, five of Lukashenko's political opponents were kidnapped and killed, or died under mysterious circumstances. Report of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe "Disappeared People in Belarus," argued that the deaths of political opponents of the regime had to do with the country's leadership, which created the "death squad" – a structure involved in political killings by the authorities´ orders. The last presidential elections held on Dec. 19, 2010, culminated in mass arrests, destruction of editorial offices of independent media, and imprisonment of six presidential candidates. In total, there were arrested and sentenced about 700 people. Among these, about 40 people were charged under criminal articles involving jail sentences from 5 to 15 years. And today, houses searches, arrests and interrogations continue across the country. In January of this year, EU countries, USA and Canada introduced political and economic sanctions against the Belarusian regime. Belarusian dictator, Alexander Lukashenko, is obsessed with ice hockey. And, especially, not only, and not so much by the game itself, but much more by speculations on the sport subject. Skating-rinks and ice arenas have being built across the country, despite the fact that the vast majority of children cannot afford it - the average monthly salary in Belarus does not exceed $200. But the information has been broadcasting without stopping by all state TV channels and in all state newspapers that "big hockey supports Alexander Lukashenko." Huge amounts of money are invested in this campaign, because the popularity of the Belarusian dictator´s policy among the Belarus population has negligible support. A hockey jersey with the number "1" and the name "Lukashenko" is stored in the International Hockey Hall of Fame which was presented by the Belarusian authorities. On behalf of all Belarusians and all people of a good will of the World, we urge you to remove it from the Hockey Hall of Fame. Today, its presence there can be considered as an absolute anomaly. As if someone decided to put Adolf Hitler's paintings in a commemorative museum of those who had been killed during the Holocaust.
