      Ten years after decriminalising drug use, Portugal has not become the "tourist drug haven" that many feared. Not only did drug use decrease in certain age groups, but so did the number of drug-related deaths and HIV infections among users. With many calling the White House’s “War on Drugs” a failure; can a similar model be successfully implemented in the US? http://ow.ly/crzCh

      Protests erupted in the US city of Anaheim in California after police officers shot a 25-year-old unarmed man on Saturday, July 21 during a chase. Police responded to protesters at the scene of the crime by shooting rubber bullets in a crowd which included women and children. Several demonstrations have taken place since then to raise awareness of what some see as a pattern of police brutality.

      • Zhivago Rowland Yes,it does,here in Cape Town-South Africa in the Southern Suburbs(houses are expensive this side) there are trees every where you look unlike in The Cape Flats there aren't any trees,just a couple of bushes here and there.So the amount of trees in certain areas clearly do show the income inequality

        By now most of you have most probably heard of the peaceful questions that we Ethiopian Muslims are raising. In simple terms we are asking for independent religious representatives (known us Mejlis) to be elect by us in the mosques .The sev...enteen committee members elected as representatives in this quest have tried to persuade the government to solve this easy problem. In the process, we have strongly supported them by signing petitions from cities and villages from all over Ethiopia and abroad.

        The committee and the protestors have made it clear that our questions are religious and religious only. We never asked anything that can threaten or even can be in the disadvantage of the Ethiopian non-Muslims. In fact, our wise committee members and the protestors at large have made sure that even in the very outrageous situation, we keep peaceful methods as our only means of struggle. Like any other citizens, we are citizens, hence no other group, including the government itself has a basis to claim that they are better concerned about our country’s peace and stability.

        Despite this, the protestors had to endure deliberate false accusations from the unelected Mejlis and the government. They call the protestors “a few terrorist individuals who want to overthrow the constitution by force”. The imaginary “terrorist” word does not need explanation, we have recently witnessed in Ethiopia journalists being called “terrorists”. As you might have seen the videos of last Friday(u can check http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDiWBmSnP2I&feature=context-chv ) , the more than a million protestors cannot be considered “a few”. And at this moment who is unconstitutional: the people who are going to the mosque and showing their disapproval of the Mejlis in a peaceful manner or the people in power who authorize brutal means including using teargas and lethal weapons against innocent citizens in the mosque and outside? ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfPQwV0zr7s&feature=related ) How do you feel if your young child, helpless old mother or father was a victim of such an attack?
