Readers are encouraged to send in additional questions that they may have as well.

Nikola Gegaj, poslanik u Skupstini SCG
03/30/2005 Najostrije osudjujem brutalno prebijanje bracnog para Vucic u Kosovskoj Mitrovici i trazim od UMNIK-a da sto prije otkrije pocinioce, kazao je poslanik Skupstine Srbije i Crne Gore Nikola Gegaj. On smatra da obezbjedjivanje sigurnosti svih gradjana mora da bude prioritet na putu izgradnje novih odnosa i multietnicke tolerancije na Kosovu.

03/30/2005 Rauhanturvajoukkoja tarvittaisiin tuntuvasti lisää, jotta Kongon demokraattisen tasavallan tragedia saataisiin loppumaan. Nyt valtavassa maassa on 16 700 YK-sotilasta, vain reilu tuhat enemmän kuin pikkuisessa Liberiassa. Jo yhdeksän vuotta jatkunut konflikti vaatii arviolta 1000 ihmishenkeä päivittäin. YK kokoontui neuvottelemaan konfliktin ratkaisusta tiistaina.

Giovane soldato Sla - da Panos
03/29/2005 Alla vigilia del voto del Consiglio di sicurezza dell'Onu sulla proposta della Francia di deferire alla Corte penale internazionale (Cpi) le persone accusate di "atti di genocidio" contro la popolazione civile in Darfur, il ministro degli Esteri sudanese ha ribadito oggi l'intento del governo di "fare tutto il possibile per fermare la risoluzione dell'Onu". "Non consegneremo mai un nostro connazionale sia esso un fuorilegge, un ufficiale dell'esercito o un rappresentante del governo, per un processo al di fuori del Sudan" - ha detto il ministro. Gli Stati Uniti - tra i primi ad accusare di "genocidio" il regime di Khartoum - sono intenzionati a bocciare la proposta francese pur di non riconoscere la Cpi.

Venezuela's massive arms deal with Russia called into question
03/28/2005 During his recent trip to Latin America, U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld expressed grave concerns over Venezuela's plan to purchase 100,000 AK-47s, especially considering the country's porous border with Colombia, which has been engaged in a brutal guerilla war for 40 years. Some think Rumsfeld's comments are just sour grapes, as the rifles are being bought from Russia instead of the U.S.

Un ponte per
03/25/2005 'Un Ponte per' ricorda che il 24 marzo ricorrono ormai 6 anni dalla prima 'Guerra Umanitaria' inaugurata dalla Nato contro i paesi dell'ormai, ex-Jugoslavia. "Eppure non un dubbio sulla giustezza di quell'intervento è ancora arrivato a scuotere le coscienze macchiate di sangue di chi, anche nel nostro paese, ha appoggiato l'inutile guerra. Noi abbiamo però conosciuto la tragedia degli sfollati dal Kosovo, persone a cui ancora viene negato un futuro, conosciamo i centri di accoglienza temporanea ormai diventati definitivi, la tragedia delle popolazioni senza alcun diritto, senza neanche la garanzia di poter tornare un giorno a vivere nella propria terra.

Per il quarto anno consecutivo il mondo associativo e la Provincia di Ancona, in collaborazione con l'Università, il Centro Missionario di Ancona e le Comunità africane marchigiane si incontrano per dare voce all'Africa. “Questo convegno è uno dei pochi che si tiene in Italia in cui gli italiani, più che parlare, ascoltano gli africani” commenta Eugenio Melandri, coordinatore nazionale della Campagna Chiama l'Africa.
