Lebanon - Ma'an - Fierce clashes between the Lebanese army and the Fatah Al-Islam organization have continued in northern Lebanon on Monday, Lebanese security sources have said. The confrontations are focused in the area around the Nahr Al-Bared Palestinian refugee camp, located outside the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli. At least 48 people have died in the two days of fighting, Lebanese sources said, most of them from the Lebanese army. ... read full story / add a comment

Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, General Secretary of Hizballah, is the leader of a movement claiming to fight for the right of self-determination, in the same way that Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela were leaders of movements that claimed similar ends. However, Nasrallah will likely not be elevated to the status of a Gandhi, Mandela or other leaders of resistance movements of our time, nor will he be given the same revere and respect. Rather, he will be remembered as a violent man, a terrorist, appearing angry in pictures rather than with his innocent, almost childlike smile. ... read full story / add a comment

Karl Marx used to say that England was the country where class struggle will travel to its end. Can we say that Lebanon is the country where class struggle goes to its sectarian end? When observing the political spin of March 14th leaders and their media outlets in Lebanon it becomes clear that such fraudulent ideas are being directed toward the open sit-in in downtown Beirut. ... read full story / add a comment

Arab regimes and the United States are rushing to shore up Siniora's government. On January 25, the same day of the bloody protests and curfew in Beirut, Siniora attended a donors conference in Paris, where he received pledges of $7.6 billion in aid and loan guarantees. Some of the funding will go toward reconstruction after last summer's war, but much of it will be used to make interest payments and refinance Lebanon's crushing $41 billion public debt. The country's debt-to-GDP ratio is now about 180 percent--the second-highest in the world (after Malawi). A large proportion of the pledges received at the Paris III conference are tied to unpopular economic reforms that Siniora has vowed to undertake, including raising taxes and privatizing state assets. Most of these measures--such as raising gasoline surcharges and the value-added tax--will most heavily affect Lebanon's poor and working classes, who are disproportionately Shiite ... read full story / add a comment

La esperanza de que la derrota republicana en las elecciones de noviembre en los Estados Unidos facilita una salida a la crisis que la humanidad enfrenta es ilusoria. La alteración de la relación de fuerzas en el Congreso tendrá, a corto plazo, influencia mínima en el involucramiento de los Estados Unidos en áreas del planeta donde sus guerras de agresión, llamadas «preventivas», y la alianza con el Estado sionista han creado situaciones que configuran amenazas a la humanidad. ... read full story / add a comment

There are growing suspicions in Iraq that the official story of the battle outside Najaf between a messianic Iraqi cult and the Iraqi security forces supported by the US, in which 263 people were killed and 210 wounded, is a fabrication. The heavy casualties may be evidence of an unpremeditated massacre. ... read full story / add a comment

On January 23, 2007, the Lebanese opposition shut down the entire country, pummeling heavy black smoke over its skies and sending the entire country into an economic standstill. It was and is a top-down "democratic" movement, nonviolent in its intent, but with empty demands; this primarily because of a fundamental flaw in the system that requires any opposition to build coalitions of national unity, thus forced to share power with former and current thieves and murderers, and making higher demands a form of political suicide. The day's event leaves one with a feeling of the surreal and a sense of absurdity. And how does one begin to recount the surreal, the absurd? ... read full story / add a comment

No! Quello che si vede in Libano oggi è è una distruzione fatta dai comunisti anarchici o Qarmati, né dai sindacalisti rivoluzionari, né dagli anarchici sindacalisti, né dai poveri che si ribellano conto il governo liberale del signor Siniora. ... read full story / add a comment

Beirut's immaculately rebuilt Downtown was the centrepiece of assassinated former prime minister Rafik Al-Hariri's neo- liberal economic policies. Now, a projector beaming slogans on the wall of a central building housing the posh Buddha Bar sums up the protest against them. "The government o f VAT, the government of public debt, the government of corruption," they read. Below them in Riad Al-Solh Square, youths mill around in the encampment that has mushroomed over the last month. Some dance the traditional dabke while others smoke water pipes. Many have never set foot in Downtown Beirut before, let alone hung around there on a Friday night ... read full story / add a comment

BEIRUT: As the Hizbullah-led opposition forces move on Tuesday to launch a general strike that promises to paralyze the country, officials within the ruling parliamentary majority have urged Lebanese to ignore the calls for a work stoppage. After almost two months of an opposition sit-in in the heart of the capital aimed at bringing down the government of Prime Minister Fouad Siniora, the campaign has progressed to ambitions of paralyzing the periphery of the capital and the rest of the country. ... read full story / add a comment

Ever since Hezbollah and its allies began an open-ended protest against the US-backed government on December 1, Beirut's gilded downtown--built for wealthy Lebanese and foreign tourists--has become more authentically Lebanese. Where Persian Gulf sheiks once ate sushi, families now sit in abandoned parking lots, having impromptu picnics, the smell of kebabs cooked over coals wafting through the air. Young men lounge on plastic chairs, smoking apple-scented water pipes, and occasionally break out into debke, the Lebanese national dance. ... read full story / add a comment
