NEPAL: GENERAL STRIKE!!
Since yesterday(2.5) in all across Nepal a General Strike, called by the CPN(M), is taking place for the next 7 days. The CPN(M) and the liberation forces want to protest with this strike against the so-called (municipality)'election' on coming Wednesday, organized by the ruling regime(of the King).
Yesterday in Kathmandu: General Strike, no public traffic anymore..
According to(bourgeois) Nepalese media, except in some parts of the capital Kathmandu, the public life in the entire country is affected. "Reports from Nepalgunj, Pokhara and Biratnagar, the major towns in the mid-western, western and eastern Nepal respectively, said that the strike has brought the normal life there to a complete standstill.", eKandipur reported yesterday. http://www.kantipuronline.com/kolnews.php?&nid=64679
Agit-prop in Kathmandu against the regime
Meanwhile in the last days many activists of the democratic opposition and progressive journalists were arrested by the repression forces, Nepalese media reported.
Until now there are no independent informations available...
"We should have killed all those who defiled the Prophet Muhammad, but instead we are protesting in peace.", Hamas official Mahmoud al-Zahar in the Italian newspaper Il Giornale.
The Danish embassy in Damascus, Syria
In the yesterday's edition of the German magazine Der Spiegel following article was published (btw, with many things in this article I don't agree!!):
Opinion: Democracy in a Cartoon
The Guardian
Protesters set fire to embassies
IHT/NYT
Armed protest in front of the French Culture Center in Gaza
Last but not least, of course some of the so-called 'left' groups/organizations, such as WSP('Socialist' Workers Party etc.), are supporting the reactionary riots. Even in London they were joining the march against the Danish embassy("Britain, you will pay, 7/7* on its way!"..). Welcome in the 21 century!!
* 7/7 was the date of the bomb attack against the London subway
The Black Angel's Death Song
The myriad choices of his fate
Set themselves out upon a plate
For him to choose
What had he to lose
Not a ghost bloodied country
All covered with sleep
Where the black angel did weep
Not an old city street in the east
Gone to choose
And wandering's brother
Walked on through the night
With his hair in his face
On a long splintered cut from the knife of G.T.
The rally man's patter ran on through the dawn
Until we said so long
To his skull-shrill yell
Shining brightly red-rimmed and
Red-lined with the time
Infused with the choice of the mind
On ice skates scraping chunks
From the bells
Cut mouth bleeding razor's
Forgetting the pain
Antiseptic remains cool goodbye
So you fly
To the cozy brown snow of the east
Gone to choose, choose again
Sacrificials remains make it hard to forget
Where you come from
The stools of your eyes
Serve to realize fame, choose again
And roverman's refrain of the sacrilege recluse
For the loss of a horse
Went the bowels and a tail of a rat
Come again, choose to go
And if Epiphany's terror reduced you to shame
Have your head bobbed and weaved
Choose a side to be on
If the stone glances off
Split didactics in two
Leave the colors of the mouse trails
Don't scream, try between
If you choose, if you choose, try to lose
For the loss of remain come and start
Start the game I che che che che I
Che che ka tak koh
Choose to choose
Choose to choose, choose to go
..THE YEAR OF TOLERANCE(?)
Last year in September the Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten published 12 caricatures about the Islam, or better what the cartoonists are thinking when they be asked about their opinion about the Islam.
Now, since several days nearly the entire Muslim world is exploding. Yesterday in Jakarta Muslim ‚activists‘ stormed the Danish embassy and demanded the "slaughter of the ambassador". The day before thousands of activists in Yeman demonstrated against Denmark and other Scandinavian countries. In the territories of the Palestinian ‚Authorithy‘ armed groups stormed offices of the EU and European organizations and declared European employees as "legitime targets". Also before y’day a German volonteer was kidnapped in Nablus(and shortly later released, because the kidnappers found out that he was not a Dane..).
Since decades every day especially Arab newspapers are full with caricatures against the Jews, the New Christian(no chr.!^^) Crusaders or the bad influence of the Western life style and ‚democracy‘. Even cartoonists in the West are following this way(for example the Brazilian Latuf),
but not even in Tel Aviv someone is caring about it... nobody is threaten in Europe to burn down Arab embassies or to hurt Muslims as "legitime targets"(and also no Israeli was/is targeting the S. Korean publishers of this 'cartoons' by Latuf..).
It seems that the struggle of free speech against religious dictatorship(well, call it "The Clash of the Civilisations"..) is just beginning. BTW: If the "new fighters against self-censorship" would also fight against their self-censorship in the case of the war in Iraq, or about Guantanamo, or secret torture prisons... then the 'democracy' would win a lot! But, actually, I don't believe, not really...
If you have any idea about it, critic(even against my text) or note, just write a memo!!
Well, here some of the caricatures in Jyllands Posten:

Hundreds of political activists, journalists arrested during protests
Hundreds of leaders and activists of the seven agitating political parties, human rights workers and journalists were arrested from protest rallies around the country organised to mark last year’s February 1 royal move as ‘black day’ on Wednesday.
In Kathmandu, at least two dozen leaders and activists of the seven-party alliance were rounded up when riot police intervened into their demonstration at New Road, a restricted area, this afternoon.
Hundreds of agitators who gathered at New Road at around 2:00 p.m. waved black flags and chanted slogans against the ‘repressive’ royal regime and demanded immediate restoration of democracy in the country.
The seven parties took out protest rallies from Teku, Kalimati and Basantpur and clashes between the police and the agitators were reported at some places. Security forces also barred the parties from holding a mass gathering at Basantapur.
Sporadic protests continue around New Road areas at the moment, our correspondent on the site said over the phone.
Similarly, hundreds of seven-party protesters were rounded up in Biratnagar, Jhapa, Pokhara, Rajbiraj, Dang, Banke and various other places during the ‘black day’ demonstrations, reports said. There were also reports of scuffles during the protests.
Meanwhile, security men opened blank fire to disperse the agitators in Bhadrapur, Jhapa, this afternoon. Few protesters were also beaten up by the police, reports quoting local leaders of the Nepali Congress said.
Similarly, dozens of journalists and human rights activists were apprehended from protest rallies in Kaski, Ilam, Khotang, Jhapa, Udaypur, Tapjejung Banke and many other places. Demanding press freedom and freedom of expression, journalists staged demonstration in Banke’s Nepalgunj, before a daylong curfew started at 11:00 a.m.

Now, at least, we - strongly - should demand
(and fight for) the withdrawal of the
S. Korean troops out off Iraq...
...and we should kick all in their asses who were proclaiming the withdrawal as their 'first priority'(KCTU, DLP...), but did nothing until now - except blabla..!

Tokyo’s Iraq Pullout Reopens Debate on Korean Troops  |
| News that Japan is pulling its troops out of Iraq at the end of May has rekindled debate here over the extension of Korean soldiers’ mandate in the war-torn country. The withdrawal of all major U.S. allies increases the risk that Korea’s Zaytun Unit could become a main target of the Iraqi insurgency.
The 3,200-strong unit is stationed in Irbil, in Kurdish-majority northern Iraq, making Korea’s the third strongest force in the country after the U.S. and the U.K. The Defense Ministry plans to reduce that number by 1,000 by the end of this year, but the Joint Chiefs of Staff say there are no plans for more troop reductions or a complete withdrawal. "The National Assembly has agreed for the division to be stationed there until the end of this year, and no change is expected as of now,” a ministry official said. Staunch U.S. ally Japan, however, is pulling its force out of Iraq by the end of May, the Japanese press reported Tuesday. The UK and Australia also plan a total withdrawal of their forces by then, starting from mid-March. The reports said diplomats and defense officials from the three countries and the U.S. agreed the date during a secret meeting in London on Jan. 23. The Japanese government has been pondering a way out of Iraq since the end of 2005 because it would be difficult for its Self-Defense Force to operate there without the U.K. and Australia providing security for the troops. Japan’s constitution prohibits its military from using force outside the country. Tokyo will hand facilities for its 600 ground forces in the southern town of Samawa to locals and says it will instead contribute more to the country’s reconstruction through Official Development Assistance.
