Afghanistan
Afghan Peace Council Delegation Flies to Turkey
[Tolo News] A delegation of Afghan High Peace Council Tuesday flew to Turkey at the invitation of the Turkish government.

The delegation is expected to stay in Turkey for four days and is scheduled to hold talks with Turkish President, Premier and Foreign Minister and as well as Head of the Turkish parliament.

The visit is aimed at further strengthening of relations between Afghanistan and Turkey in different sectors.

Around two months ago Turkish officials promised President Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai to host Afghan peace talks with the Taliban.

Turkish government has long helped Afghanistan mainly in construction of infrastructures.

At a trilateral summit between Afghanistan, Pakistain and Turkey in December last year Turkish President, Abdullah Gul, said his country was ready to do anything it could for the future of Afghanistan.

Afghan peace council seeks Guantanamo visit
KABUL — Afghanistan’s High Council For Peace wants to send a delegation to secure the release of Taliban prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay prison as part of reconciliation efforts, one of its members said Tuesday.

Arsala Rahmani, head of the Council’s prisoner release committee, said the delegation would call for figures including Khairullah Khairkhwa, a top Taliban commander detained at the US-run prison in Cuba since 2002, to be freed. Rahmani added that Khairkhwa’s US lawyer had emailed the High Council For Peace calling for his freedom and offering the jailed militant’s help to broker peace with the Taliban.

Karzai backs the plan to visit Guantanamo, Rahmani added.

“We are determined to send this delegation. That is our decision but so far, we have not contacted the US government,” he told AFP.

If the visit is made, the delegation will “seek the release of all Afghans detained there,” he said.

Rahmani added: “We’ll be seeking the release of all Afghans who are detained inside and outside Afghanistan” in connection with Taliban activities.

There are thought to be around 15 Afghans currently detained at Guantanamo.

Responding to the comments, the US embassy in Kabul said in a statement that it supported the High Council for Peace’s work. But it added: “Transfers or releases of Afghan nationals detained at Guantanamo are conducted in accordance with the results of a comprehensive US government inter-agency review of the status of detained individuals.”

Africa North
Report: Ex-minister says Gadhafi ordered Lockerbie
Aipee so no direct quote:

The former Libyian justice minister who resigned days ago claims to have proof Gaddafi personally ordered the Lockerbie attack.

Gaddafi was afraid Megrabi would rat him out which is why he insisted on his release.

My commentary:
No surprise here, a grain of salt wrt Megrabi though.
Given Western government's fecklessness in recent years (including the Bush administration after about 2003), Gaddafi could have openly admitted to planting the bomb with his own hands. Western leaders would have traveled to Libya, fallen on their knees and begged Gaddafi to refrain from further attacks.

Megrabi got out because Gaddafi used a mixture of bribery and intimidation (British diplomats were threatened). Gaddafi wanted to publicly humiliate the West because he had been tricked into giving up his nuclear program.

#1  Interesting article, . But what trick? Nobody knew Libya had a nuclear program until Colonel Gaddari called President Bush about giving it up. The pretty colonel didn't want to be the next Arab dictator pulled out of a spider hole in his his underthings like Saddam Hussein. And goodness knows Libya got an awful lot of goodwill in exchange, which he used to bully and humiliate the West.
Posted by: trailing wife || 02/23/2011 15:39 Comments || Top||

#2  ...and this diplomat, and a whole lot of western diplomats, up to and including the current US administration and the previous British administration, were OK with letting Lockerbie slide and/or obfuscating about Qadaffy killing westerners until he went and killed a bunch of Arabs too, where it couldn't be blamed on US troops the way Al Qaeda killing Iraqi civilians has been for the past ten damn years.

It's all just weak horse strong horse shit.

argh.

ARTIC = MOUD sasy that BIG DEVELOPMENTS are taking place in the World, + that SUCH RELAT CHANGES WILL "ENGULF THE WHOLE WORLD FROM ASIA TO AFRICA, + FROM EUROPE + NORTH AMERICA".

I've said it times before:

* 9-11 + GWOT = Among other, is WAR FOR OWG-NWO/GLOBAL GOVT. = WAR FOR CONTROL OF THE WORLD.

Besides also PRO-US-VS-ANTI-US OWG-NWO including COMMIE-SOC WORLD ORDER [CWO-SWO].

All things equal, the greatest Battlefield in this Man's GWOT is within the Halls of the US GOVT + CONGRESS, NOT on ARAB-MUSLIM LANDS.

* ISLAMIST JIHAD + INSURGENCIES = Ultimately is "GLOBAL" IN SCOPE, i.e. a GLOBAL ISLAMIC/MUSLIM CONQUEST.

* The US is fighting an Enemy that historically prefers to wage [Limited Predatory = "People's Wars"]WARS OF DECADES + GENERATIONS, NOT "QUICKIE" WARS LIKE WW1, WW2, OR EVEN VIETNAM. The US-ALLIES are not just fighting OSAMA + AFFILIATED, etal. BUT ALSO ALL OF HIS + THEIR HEIRS + SUCCESSORS IN TIME.

POTUS Dubya's so-called "Long War".

* THE US MAY BE SEEMINGLY "WINNING" THE GWOT, BUT RADICAL ISLAM HAS NOT "LOST" THE GWOT EITHER - IT NOT ONLY HASN'T "LOST", BUT IS GLOBALLY EXPANDING ITS JIHAD + ESPEC "GOING NUKULAAR".

#1  The Guardian has an interesting report: As the first foreign news organisation to report from so-called Free Benghazi, the Guardian witnessed defecting troops pouring into the courtyard of a ransacked police station carrying tonnes of weaponry and ammunition looted from a military armoury to stop it being seized by forces loyal to the Libyan dictator.

Algeria facing series of strikes
[Ennahar] Algeria is facing series of strikes that affected areas usually of little protest, as Justice, with a movement of clerks which entered its sixth day Tuesday, according to the press.

Last to disengage, municipal workers began on Monday a three-day strike to demand the creation of a special status and an appreciation of their benefits system.

According to the National Autonomous Union of Public Administration Staff (SNAPAP), the strike is followed by 65% of the staff concerned, but with a low rate in Algiers because of "pressures" from the administration.

In support of such claims, the clerks have triggered a strike on February 16 that "paralyzed" the courts where many cases have been reported.

The Department of Justice uses bailiffs to replace them in some jurisdictions, angering lawyers. They have decided to boycott the hearings.

In addition, the paramedics continued Tuesday an "open" strike started on February 8 and resulting in work stoppages of 30 minutes to an hour every day with rallies in hospitals.

The wave of protest has also affected the university elite with a student strike of the major engineering schools who have been asking for weeks for the repeal of an official decree that they consider demeaning for their diplomas.

This text aligns the engineering degree on that of Master 2 (bac +5) awarded by universities, while Algeria has established the LMD system (Licence, Master, PhD).

On Monday, police dispersed a rally of protesters before the Ministry of Higher Education in Algiers, causing at least one injured.

In Annaba, the industrial metropolis of eastern Algeria, seven unemployed self-mutilated themselves on the roof of the prefecture at a gathering of young people to seek work. An unemployed man was knocked unconscious by slashing his chest and was evacuated to hospital by emergency preparedness.

Egypt replaces several Mubarak-era ministers
CAIRO — Egypt’s military rulers swore in a new Cabinet Tuesday that includes 11 new ministers in a nod to the opposition movement that ousted longtime leader Hosni Mubarak but keeps three former members of the regime in key posts.

The move comes as the military leadership that is overseeing the country’s transition works to assure the anti-Mubarak movement that led mass protests it is committed to democratic reforms.

However, the decision to keep Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq, Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit, and Justice Minister Mamdouh Marie, three Mubarak’s loyalists, in their post are likely to draw criticism from the youth activists and others who launched the uprising on Jan. 25.

The coalition government included independents and members of opposition parties for the first time in decades, pushing out the longtime ministers of oil, social justice and labor. The new Cabinet also included two Coptic Christians, including an ex-lawmaker.

Among the new names were Monier Fakhri Abdel Nour, a Coptic member of the Wafd opposition party as minister of tourism, filling a position that has been vacant since Zuhair Garana was jailed on corruption charges. Top leftist Tagammu party member Gouda Abdel Khaleq also was named minister of social justice.

Libya barred from Arab League meetings
CAIRO — The Arab League on Tuesday barred Libya from its meetings until Tripoli responds to the demands of protesters, threatening to suspend its membership after clashes that have killed hundreds.
You've done it now, Qadaffi, you've upset the Arab League!
The League decided to “stop the government of Libya from participating in meetings of the Arab League and all bodies affiliated to it, until the Libyan authorities respond to demands, guaranteeing the security and stability of its people,” it said in a statement.

A meeting in March would also decide whether Libya was “fulfilling its commitment to the Arab League charter regarding membership,” it said, after a crisis meeting of permanent representatives in Cairo.

The 22-member body said “Arab people’s ambitions for freedom, democratic reforms, development and justice are legitimate and must be respected.”

#1  Interesting I can see no mention about this on the Arab League website
http://www.arableagueonline.org/las/index.jsp

Still if true, I wonder how many of the 22-members could be barred for not doing this? “Arab people’s ambitions for freedom, democratic reforms, development and justice are legitimate and must be respected.”

Algeria to end 19-year state of emergency
ALGIERS - Algeria’s cabinet on Tuesday adopted an order to lift a 19-year-old state of emergency in a concession designed to dodge the tide of uprisings sweeping the region. The government also approved a package of measures aimed at reducing unemployment, which is one of the biggest grievances of ordinary people in Algeria.

“The lifting of the state of emergency is still positive but it’s not enough,” said Mustafa Bouchachi, chairman of the Algerian Human Rights League and one of the organisers of the protests. “We need a real opening up for political, media and social activities so that the people can experience democracy for themselves."

The emergency powers will not be lifted until the order adopted by the cabinet is published in the official gazette, which is likely to happen in the next few days.

“The state of emergency was implemented for the sole needs of the anti-terrorist fight,” Algeria’s official APS news agency quoted Bouteflika as saying at the cabinet meeting.

Tuesday’s decision will have few practical implications: new rules were also adopted which will allow the military to continue involving itself in domestic security, as it had done under the emergency powers.

Britain
Feel the love: LSE suspends program financed by Saif al Islam Qadaffy
Also, read this link Why Libya Will Not Be Democratic by one of the resigning members.
LSE won't give back the money, though.
LONDON -- A prestigious London university announced this week that it has suspended a study program funded by a charity run by the son of Libyan leader Col. Muammar Gaddafi.

The London School of Economics (LSE) said on Monday that it had reconsidered its links with Libya "as a matter of urgency," and suspended a North African research program partly funded by Seif al-Islam Gaddafi following the recent violence in Libya.

"The School has had a number of links with Libya in recent years. In view of the highly distressing news from Libya over the weekend of 19-20 February, the School has reconsidered those links as a matter of urgency," LSE said in a statement.

The university said that in 2009 it accepted £1.5 million from the Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation, which is chaired by the younger Gaddafi, who is also a graduate of school.

According to its website, the Foundation "carries out developmental and humanitarian activities in the social, economic, cultural and human rights fields." On Tuesday LSE said it had only received £300,000 to date and that no more will be accepted.

LSE has also received scholarship funding in return for counsel given to the Libyan Investment Authority in London.

#2  When was the last time islamists cared about freedom other than to manipulate it to their ends which are laid out in the Koran.
Posted by: JohnQC || 02/23/2011 8:44 Comments || Top||

#3  In this case, FBI bungling comes close to giving them some credibility.

To start with, the FBI recruited some real criminal scum to act as an informant, and finding nothing amiss, the criminal scum tried to agitate the Muslims to commit acts of terrorism. So much so that the Muslims complained to the police that the informant was a radical terrorist and should be arrested, or at least investigated.

The police soon discovered that he was an FBI informant, so did nothing, leaving the Muslims with the impression of police indifference.

This sort of pushes the boundaries of acceptable police behavior.

Iraq
Iraqi army detainee tortured to death in Ninewa
NINEWA / Aswat al-Iraq: An Iraqi army’s detainee died on Tuesday from torture injures, Ninewa governor said, calling the parliament and the general commander of the armed force to punish officers and those involved in the incident.

“We received a report on Monday evening (Feb. 21) from the anti-terror department in Ninewa, which indicates that Khaled Walied Seif al-Din Ayoub, born in 1976, died at prison,” Atheel al-Nujiefi told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.

“The dead man was transferred by the 2nd division of the Iraqi army to the anti-terror department, which sent him to the hospital,” he explained.

“The detainee had been arrested in accordance with an arrest warrant issued after arresting him not before it and then he was tortured,” he continued, pointing out that the forensic medicine’s report asserts that the body bore signs of torture.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Jordans Muslim opposition to resume protests
[Jerusalem Post Front Page] Jordan's powerful Moslem Brüderbund vowed to resume protests, saying Tuesday that the government did not keep a promise of speedy reforms.

The announcement puts added pressure on Jordan's King Abdullah II to give up some of his sweeping powers, but is not seen as a threat to his rule. Opposition figures have called on the king to surrender the authority to appoint Cabinets and dissolve parliament.

Under pressure from street protests inspired by uprisings roiling the Arab world, Abdullah instructed his government earlier this month to enact "quick and real" political reforms, allowing greater public say in the decision-making.

However,
The infamous However...
protesters say little has been done so far to meet their demands, such as changing a controversial election law, which the Brotherhood says favors the king's loyalists. The Brotherhood is Jordan's largest opposition group.

The Brotherhood and its political wing, the Islamic Action Front, had refrained from participating in protests for the past two weeks, saying they wanted to give newly appointed Prime Minister Marouf al-Bakhit a chance to carry out reforms.

However,
The infamous However...
Brotherhood front man Jamil Abu-Bakr said Tuesday that the government installed on Feb. 9 has not carried out the promised reforms.

He condemned attacks on protesters last Friday in Amman, which saw eight maimed in the first violence in weeks of demonstrations.

Abu-Bakr claimed that "thugs" were used or hired to carry out "aggression by groups that do not want reforms."

He urged the government to take action against those behind the attack and move quickly toward reform.

Philippines, communists aim for peace in 18 months
[Straits Times] THE Philippine government and communist rebels waging one of the world's longest insurgencies are aiming to sign a peace pact within 18 months, the two sides said after holding landmark talks.
Good luck, guys. Hope you make that deadline. You won't mind if we don't hold our breath, though...
The parties released a joint statement late on Monday following the end of a week of negotiations in Norway in which they committed to try and sign a 'comprehensive agreement' to end hostilities came by June of next year.

'The two panels expressed satisfaction over the achievements of the first round of formal talks,' the statement said.

The negotiations in Oslo were the first between the government and the National Democratic Front (NDF) sides since 2004.

The communists have been waging a rebellion since 1969 and still have about 5,000 New People's Army guerrillas based in the mainly poor, rural areas of the Philippines.

Tens of thousands of people have been killed in the conflict, including dozens of rebels, civilians and security forces over the past few months.
