With his 28-year grip on power slipping, President Robert Mugabe’s government has again lashed out at Zimbabwe’s white community, calling his black opponents tools of former colonial master Britain and stoking anger against the nation’s whites.

In the past, such attacks struck a chord in a country that suffered under white minority rule until 1980 and where whites controlled much of the economy even decades later.

But after repeated attacks, the seizure of most white-owned farms and the near collapse of the economy, the white community’s size and power have dwindled. It may no longer be effective to use whites as a scapegoat for the nation’s ills.

Attacking the nation’s whites is “the last card” Mugabe has in his fight for political survival, analyst John Makumbe said. “He has nothing else to offer.”

Mugabe’s past programs to seize white wealth might have been too effective, Makumbe said, and may have deprived the president of his most valuable tactic. Now, with just a handful of whites left controlling businesses and farms, offering to seize white property may not be seen as a rich prize to the poor blacks suffering the worst of the economic hardships, Makumbe said.

I’m a northern European medical doctor. A senior surgeon, working in the public sector of South Africa. I have done so the last 5 years. I do not want to speak outside my discipline, so this will be about the medical demise of SA. Most visitors to South Africa, who encounter the public health sector, do so by visiting a hospital or a clinic in or near the big cities. What they get to see is a hospital or a clinic, which is working, but not up to Western standards.

Before I came down here, I believed that pre-94 South Africa had a very good health care system for the white population, and nothing for the black. I soon discovered that was not the case. The Calvinistic white rulers of South Africa had built an elaborate network of public hospitals, reaching the outermost societies of this large country. We are talking about 5-600 beds hospitals far out in the rural areas.

Before 1994, they were well manned and equipped, and complicated procedures were carried out there. I know this. I’ve been to these hospitals and spoken to the people working there. I have gone through old patient files and surgical statistics. These were hospitals that catered for the black population.

Hispanics now account for more than 15% of the U.S. population, and their surge is largely the result of births among people already in the country, according to new Census Bureau data.

In an annual report, the Census said there are 45.5 million Hispanics in the U.S., up from 35.7 million in 2000, when they made up 12.6% of the population. It said growth among Hispanics was responsible for half of the U.S. population gains between 2000 and 2007.

“The Hispanic population has taken on a momentum of its own,” said Kenneth Johnson, senior demographer at the University of New Hampshire’s Carsey Institute. “If you close the borders tomorrow, there is still going to be a large Hispanic increase.”

On December 16th, 1961 urban areas, government and municipal installations came under attack by sabotage. Bombs brought down electrical pylons, damaged offices and rail tracks. Posters pasted up during the night announced the actions to be the work of a new body, Umkhonto we Sizwe, the military wing of the anc which would carry on armed forms of struggle for the liberation of the people. Umkhonto had surfaced briefly, and then disappeared into the ‘underground’ In the months following there were reports of deliberate crop burning, and of petty industrial sabotage of machines, rumours, tales, some true and some untrue, of further acts of sabotage against the buildings and installations of the State.

Mandela Captured

Mandela remained out of sight, unreported. Rumours abounded that he had been seen, now here, now there, that he had addressed secret meetings of activists in several centres; but no one knew for sure. And then the sudden news that he had been stopped at a road block on the Durban-Johannesburg road and arrested. Soon afterwards he was charged with inciting a strike on Republic Day, and with leaving the country illegally. In November 1962 he was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment.

TEHRAN, April 30 (RIA Novosti) - A senior Russian government official said on Wednesday after talks with the Iranian leadership that the Islamic Republic was not developing nuclear weapons.

Valentin Sobolev, who serves as the acting head of Russia’s Security Council, arrived in Tehran with a delegation of high-ranking Russian officials last Sunday to discuss with the Iranian leadership international and regional issues, as well as bilateral economic cooperation and the Iranian nuclear program.

“We believe that Iran is currently not involved in nuclear research for military purposes, but we are certain that our opinion must be shared by all countries involved in the resolution of this [Iranian uranium enrichment] problem,” Sobolev said.

“We also believe that Iran must show more initiative and actively participate in talks with the Iran Six to clarify all outstanding controversial issues regarding its nuclear research,” he said.

SHANGHAI — China said Wednesday that it had broken up a child labor ring that forced children from poor, inland areas to work in booming coastal cities, acknowledging that severe labor abuses extended into the heart of its export economy.

Authorities in southern China’s Guangdong Province, near Hong Kong, said they had made several arrests and had already “rescued” more than 100 children from factories in the city of Dongguan, one of the country’s largest manufacturing centers for electronics and consumer goods sold around the world. The officials said they were investigating reports that hundreds of other rural children had been lured or forced into captive, almost slavelike conditions for minimal pay.

The children, mostly between the ages of 13 and 15, were often tricked or kidnapped by employment agencies in an impoverished part of western Sichuan Province called Liangshan and then sent to factory towns in Guangdong, where they were sometimes forced to work 300 hours a month, according to government officials and accounts from the state-owned media. The legal working age in China is 16.

The new mayor of Rome has promised to purge the Italian capital of 20,000 illegal immigrants and to raze 85 gipsy camps.
Gianni Alemanno, 50, a firebrand neo-fascist and the first Right-wing mayor of the city since the Second World War, vowed to make Rome “secure” as he was sworn into office after his election at the weekend.

The election of Mr Alemanno confirmed a strong shift to the Right by Italians, who have been sickened by a spate of violent crimes committed by immigrants.

Earlier this month, the centre-Right leader Silvio Berlusconi was re-elected as prime minister and will form a government in partnership with Umberto Bossi, the leader of the anti-immigration Northern League.

In a sign of things to come, after Mr Alemanno’s election Mr Berlusconi declared: “We are the new Falange.”

Teenager beaten-up in park

A mother has condemned young thugs who robbed and beat her teenage son and left him naked in a park.

David Procter, 16, was forced to strip and hand over jewellery and his mobile phone, before being viciously punched and kicked in the head and body.

His three attackers also set two dogs on him and he was bitten on the ear.

The youngster, who suffers from asthma, was left with serious facial injuries, including a broken nose, fractured cheekbone and broken teeth.

A passing motorist draped a blanket around him and took him to Bradford Royal Infirmary for treatment.

Detectives are investigating the “unusual” incident.

A MAN has posted videos on YouTube in which he claims to have deliberately “infected” thousands of women with AIDS.

The masked-man - who calls himself “Trashman” and speaks with an American accent in a series of clips posted on the video-sharing website - claims to have “infected” between 1200 and 1500 with the disease.

In the videos, Trashman reads the names and ages of some of the women he claims to have had unprotected sex with.

President of People Living with HIV/AIDS Victoria, Brett Hayhoe, said the man “does seem genuine” in the video clips.

AIDS can only be contracted once a person has been infected with HIV, but Mr Hayhoe said the man may have lumped the two together.

“It’s extremely disturbing (and) the guy needs psychiatric help,” Mr Hayhoe said.

The videos - one of which has been viewed 195,000 times - also feature a web address to a “gangsta” portal filled with pornography and where Trashman has a profile.

Police in Congo have arrested 13 suspected sorcerers accused of using black magic to steal or shrink men’s penises after a wave of panic and attempted lynchings triggered by the alleged witchcraft.

Reports of so-called penis snatching are not uncommon in West Africa, where belief in traditional religions and witchcraft remains widespread, and where ritual killings to obtain blood or body parts still occur.

Rumours of penis theft began circulating last week in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo’s sprawling capital of some 8 million inhabitants. They quickly dominated radio call-in shows, with listeners advised to beware of fellow passengers in communal taxis wearing gold rings.

Purported victims, 14 of whom were also detained by police, claimed that sorcerers simply touched them to make their genitals shrink or disappear, in what some residents said was an attempt to extort cash with the promise of a cure.

An Iraqi man granted asylum in Denmark after working as an interpreter for Danish troops has been told he must choose between the two wives he brought with him.

“We gave him until May 26 to divorce one of his two wives, otherwise we will take the necessary measures to put an end to this situation of bigamy, which is illegal in Denmark,” Malene Vestergaard of the Justice Ministry’s family affairs section said today.

The woman he divorces will however be able to remain in Denmark, “since the interpreter and his two wives were individually granted residency permits in Denmark to protect them from possible acts of retaliation in Iraq,” the official said.
