Comment by Lars AkerhaugTo summarize the result of the constitutional elections in Iraq already might seem premature - in that the main effect of these elections will not be seen immediately, but rather in its long-term effect on the political movement. These elections were a part of what we might name "the political process" taking place in Iraq, aiming mainly to normalize, or stabilize the situation in the country. As such, the proposed constitution is an organic part of the US occupation on which the political forces participating in the political process depend. Thus, the result of the constitutional elections will mainly be seen in the effect it had on these forces and those opposing them.However it is worth summarizing at this point what can be observed. At the time of writing, … [read more]

Abbas' sell out of Palestinian national movement does not workSince the Gaza pullout of Israeli settlement and troups the Abbas administration has been claiming that this would be the beginning of the construction of a sovereign Palestinian state. Active resistance of the Palestinian people in the Intifada would not be necessary anymore. The latest events in Palestine have proved these claims to be wrong. A strong wave of Israeli repression against all forces of the Palestinian popular resistance movement has caused hundreds of arrests including of high ranking representatives of Palestinian organisations as well as clashes between resistance figthers and Israeli forces as well as between the resistance movement and the Palestinian police.The events demonstrate that there will be no … [read more]

Tour of Josà© del Carmen Alvarado, mayor of Guasdualito on the border to ColombiaSince Hugo Chávez Frà­as was elected president in 1998 Venezuela has become the most dynamic place of Latin America. The impact of the Bolivarian Revolution fighting for real national sovereignty and social equality is huge. Soon the anti-imperialist orientation of the president became a target of the US which fears to loose a major supplier of crude oil.Especially in the border region to Colombia, in the federal state of Apure, the conflict between the old oligarchic power and its international backers on one side and the new Bolivarian movement on the other assumes an open and explosive character. Colombia is one of the prime allies of the US who has some 400 troops there allegedly for "combating drug … [read more]

Fraud centered in NinivehVote Figures for Crucial Province Don't Add UpAnalysis by Gareth Porter*taken from www.ipsnews.net/interna.asp?idnews=30692WASHINGTON, Oct 19 (IPS) - The early vote totals from Nineveh province, which suggested an overwhelming majority in favour of Iraq's draft constitution that assured its passage by national referendum, now appear to have been highly misleading.The final official figures for the province, obtained by IPS from a U.S. official in Mosul, actually have the constitution being rejected by a fairly wide margin, but less than the two-thirds majority required to defeat it outright.Both the initial figures and the new vote totals raise serious questions about the credibility of the reported results in Nineveh. A leading Sunni political figure has already … [read more]
