Waziristan Music Shops Go Jihad
AKI reports the culture within Waziristan is changing dramatically with the environment becoming clearly more militant and forsaking ancient traditions. Jihad poetry and songs have replaced other hits and poems to celebreat Waziristan's 'tribalness.' Music store owners that used to sell popular Pakistani music were threatened (what else?) to carry taranas, the song of the jihad. I found one such poem, and it's very sad. I was just a boy when the infidels came to my village in their Blackhawk helicopters. The infidels fired at the oil fields and they lit up like the eyes of Allah. Burning oil rained... ... morePosted at 2:52 PM

Why Zimbabweans are Starving
President Robert Mugabe's land redistribution program involved the seizing of prosperous commercial farms by his thugs and their allocation to his friends. Unfortunately, the nation that once exported its agricultural goods to surrounding countries now lies in economic ruin, unable to produce enough food to support its population. One Zimbabwean who was forced to flee to Zambia recently returned to visit his former farm. He described...(...)Nothing much had changed except that it was desolate, unkempt. No farming appeared to have taken place on the 2,000 once-productive acres since they were forced off. The homestead was still locked up, no one... ... morePosted at 9:49 AM

Journalist's Brother Killed in Waziristan
Truly sad news out of Waziristan as the mufsidun continue to wage their war on opposing voices. The borther of journalist Dilawar Khan Wazir was taken hostage and killed on his way to school reaching the young age of 14. He was found lying unconscious and wounded near the Karikot area on Wednesday by locals who took him to the civil hospital where he eventually died. Doctors said the boy died of torture. They said Taimoor had received severe injuries on his neck. Eight months ago, suspected militants had planted a bomb outside Wazir's home in Waziristan, forcing him to... ... morePosted at 2:57 PM

Mugabe's Thirst for the Perfect Tyranny
Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has dismantled his country through reforms that have given his party control and wealth while impoverishing the common citizen. He wants more, much more:President Robert Mugabe is consolidating his grip on Zimbabwe through new autocratic laws that analysts say are calculated to cripple opposition to the veteran leader's 26-year-rule and muzzle criticism over the imploding economy. Mugabe's multi-pronged strategy to silence dissent includes attempts to spy on private email and telephone messages, the jamming of private radio stations broadcasting to Zimbabwe, and restricting civic and opposition groups by branding legitimate resistance to Mugabe's rule "terrorism". Alois... ... morePosted at 12:24 AM | Comments (1)

Mugabe's Tyranny Now on Display
Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe shocked the world by a distasteful display of extravagance amid a mounting crisis of hunger and poverty caused by his "economic reforms":Zimbabweans watching the opening of a new session of parliament were astonished to see that the colonial-era chamber had been totally revamped, in what state television said were "cultural reforms". Mr Mugabe - who has never hidden his admiration of the British Royal Family - sat on a ceremonial chair newly draped in leopard skin, a traditional sign of royalty in Zimbabwe. His chair was flanked by two huge elephant tusks, a stuffed leopard and two... ... morePosted at 12:36 PM

"Thug Regimes?" Really?
I have used the terms, "thug regimes," or "gangs of thugs" for the governments of absolute dictatorships. Are they such in reality, or am I just trying to further my democratic peace agenda by tearing down these nondemocracies. I know some readers believe I am exaggerating. I'm also aware of the bias in our culture toward a positive view of "government," consistent with its Greek root that means "steersman," "pilot," "governor," or "rudder." And since those governments I am calling thug regimes have legitimate, internationally recognized authority, it is difficult for many to accept this label as other than political... ... morePosted at 9:52 PM
Zimbabwe Tyrants Seek Big Brother Monitoring System
The government of Zimbabwe is well-known for human rights violations, religious and political persecution, and mass corruption. President Robert Mugabe single handedly destroyed the economy and sent his nation into mass unemployment, poverty and hunger while at the same time declining humanitarian relief. The free press was shut down and his political opponents were targeted, some arrested right before the last elections. The price of bread went up by more than 30 percent in Zimbabwe yesterday, throwing the basic commodity far beyond the reach of many people struggling to make ends meet in the country. There is much more. The... ... morePosted at 5:44 AM
