Revolution through devolution

When we finally got the license in May 1997 after four years of struggle, it was a landmark not just for Nepal but the whole of South Asia. We had to work hard to try to convince politicians, the bureaucracy and even the Army that devolving radio to communities would not bring anarchy, but actually help strengthen grassroots democracy and development. Our slogan was ‘Communication for Development’, and that is what Nepal’s radio revolution has achieved, given communities a voice and forced local government to be accountable and responsible.

As South Asia’s first independent FM station, Radio Sagarmatha has been a success story, and role model for public service broadcasting. Create new island for #refugees suggests @EuropeinAfrica. Publicity stunt or or sound geopolitical solution? Moscow Challenges The Monroe Doctrine, Russia’s Military Facilities in Latin America. One of the dogmas of US foreign policy is the so-called Monroe Doctrine dating back to, surprisingly enough, President James Monroe who in 1823 said, in an address before US Congress, that outside powers’ efforts to colonize or exploit Latin American countries would be viewed as acts of aggression by the United States.

U.S.-Saudi Relations

-Saudi Arabia alliance, which survived the oil embargo in 1973 and the attacks of September 11, 2001, in which fifteen of the nineteen passenger jet hijackers were Saudi citizens, is coming under new strains. A new generation of Saudi Arabian leaders is adjusting to what it sees as a resurgent Iran and a retreating United States, which has announced a strategic rebalancing to Asia, by taking a more assertive military role in the Middle East. The Obama administration, for its part, points to Saudi policies it says have exacerbated regional conflicts, and says the kingdom has undermined U.S. interests while under the protection of the U.S. security umbrella. Seventy-Year Alliance Modern Saudi Arabia traces its roots to an alliance between the Saud family and descendants of Sheikh Mohammed Ibn Abdul Wahab, a prominent Hanbali Muslim cleric, who follow the most conservative school of jurisprudence in Sunni Islam.

Le cours historique est à la révolution. C'est ce cours que la bourgeoisie essaie de renverser pour ouvrir le chemin vers la guerre mondiale. Sur son chemin, elle doit s'af­fronter au prolétariat qui n'est pas embrigadé. La lutte de classe en Pologne est venue montrer que le prolé­tariat n'est pas vaincu, que son potentiel de combativité est énorme. L'enjeu du conflit n'est pas aux îles Malouines, il est au coeur du prolétariat mondial, là où se dessine 1'avenir de 1'humanité. Depuis le début des hostilités, le 2 avril 1982, le conflit des îles Malouines a fait des centaines de morts et de blessés. Future of Colombia’s new peace deal with FARC rests with No campaign.
