Bag the bomb

"RESEARCHERS at Sheffield University are working on a lightweight, bomb-proof bag that could make aircraft more secure. Hold luggage could be packed into one of the bags, which would help contain the blast if an item were to explode. Hard containers already exist to perform this job—El Al uses one per flight—but their weight militates against their widespread use." Read More

Terror strikes Mumbai again with series of blasts

"Three bomb blasts rocked India's largest city, Mumbai, in congested areas during the evening rush hour Wednesday, killing at least 21 people and injuring more than 100 others.

Prithviraj Chavan, Maharashtra state's chief minister, said it was too early to talk about suspects but at least one of the apparently coordinated blasts was "quite powerful." He warned the death toll could rise.

Indian Home Minister P. Chidambaram called the explosions a "coordinated attack by terrorists" and appealed for calm as Mumbai residents voiced anger at the government because their city has been a repeated target for terror." Read More

The IMF: Violating Women since 1945

"As Dominique Strauss-Kahn, head of the world’s most powerful financial institution, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), spends a few nights in Rikers Island prison awaiting a hearing, the world is learning a lot about his history of treating women as expendable sex objects. Strauss-Kahn has been charged with rape and forced imprisonment of a 32-year-old Guinean hotel worker at a $3,000-a-night luxury hotel in New York.

While the media dissects the attempted rape of a young African woman and begins to dig out more information about Strauss-Kahn’s past indiscretions, we couldn’t help but see this situation through the feminist lens of the “personal is political.”

For many in the developing world, the IMF and its draconian policies of structural adjustment have systematically “raped” the earth and the poor and violated the human rights of women. It appears that the personal disregard and disrespect for women demonstrated by the man at the highest levels of leadership within the IMF is quite consistent with the gender bias inherent in the IMF’s institutional policies and practice."

'Corrective Rape': Fighting a South African Scourge

this is so crazy.

"It was around 11 p.m. on a Friday in Gugulethu — a township on the edge of Cape Town — and Millicent Gaika, 30, was almost home when a man she recognized stopped her and asked for a cigarette. Gaika obliged. The man then pushed her into a nearby shack and beat and raped her for five hours. Gaika later told police that throughout the assault, her attacker repeatedly said, "You think you're a man, but I'm going to show you you're a woman." Charged with rape, the 43-year-old man is scheduled to go to court on March 15.

Gaika is a rarity in South Africa, indeed in all of Africa, as an openly gay woman. And since her attack, which took place in 2009, she has become something of an icon in the battle against the South African phenomenon called "corrective rape." Virtually unknown to the rest of the world at the time of Gaika's ordeal, corrective rape has since become a hot issue. Through online campaigns, nearly a million people have joined local activists in demanding that the South African government recognize corrective rape as a hate crime. But with so few cases of homophobic violence resulting in trials — and of those, almost none ending in conviction — the activists have a long fight ahead of them."

Angry In Egypt

Remember, remember...

"Like in Tunisia, the large protests took many by surprise. They even surprised the leaders of the established political opposition groups who participated in the protests but did not expect them to be that large or inspiring.

They were spontaneous protests fed by public anger, disenchanted youth, and the Tunisian example.

Pictures and information fed from Egypt on Twitter, Facebook, and international TV channels showed a new image of Egypt. Showing that this collective anger should never be underestimated and that Egypt should prepare for the unexpected.

There is a new generation." Read More

ElBaradei to catalyse Friday rally?

"Mohamed ElBaradei's brother has said the Egyptian opposition leader and Nobel laureate is expected to return Thursday evening to his native land.

The former head of the UN's nuclear agency will participate in protests on Friday, amid growing chaos and calls for political reform in the embattled country.

The Muslim Brotherhood has said it will be leading those demonstrations after Friday prayers, which will be the first time that the main Egyptian opposition party will join in the current unrest.

At least four people have died and the government has detained more than 700 people in response to the biggest opposition rallies in many years.

Protests have been most violent in Suez, east of Cairo. At least two dozen people were wounded in Wednesday night's protests there, and demonstrators burned down a police post on Thursday." Read More

A masked Palestinian youth uses a slingshot to hurl stones at Israeli police officers during clashes at the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan, Wednesday, Sept. 22, 2010. Violence erupted after a 32-year-old Palestinian laborer was killed by a private security guard watching over Jewish families in the Silwan neighborhood in east Jerusalem. During the man's funeral, a mob of protesters set tires on fire, smashed the windows of several buses and called for revenge.
