POPSUN-Backed Troops Accused of Killing & Raping Civilians British-based organization Oxfam said. Human Rights Watch said it documented the killings of 732 civilians between January and September by the Congolese army and troops from neighboring Rwanda fighting alongside it. In the same period, it counted 701 civilians killed by the rebels they are fighting. “Some victims were tied together before their throats were, according to one witness, ’slit like chickens.’ The majority of the victims were women, children, and the elderly,” the group said. More than 7,500 cases of sexual violence against women and girls were registered at health centers during that nine-month period, nearly double that of 2008 and likely representing only a fraction of the total.

POPSControl Arms Campaign Pipedream. Until you change the attitude of all those people who want to rule other people, or to kill other people for whatever reason, not one treaty will ever work. I would love to live in a world where guns would never be used against another person. But, as I said, it’s a pipedream.

POPSMillions in Nepal facing hunger as climate changes Oxfam recommended in its report that the government and international organizations intervene to ease food shortages in hill and mountain districts and provide assistance during the upcoming planting season. The government should encourage farmers to try new crop varieties and improve water management, and it should integrate climate change strategies into government planning. Ang Dawa, a member of a parliamentary committee tackling climate change, said its effects were already prevalent in Nepal, especially in the mountainous north. She said her village in the foothills of Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain, was covered in several feet (dozens of centimeters) of snow during the winter when she was a child, but now there is hardly any snow.

POPSEuropean anti Semite gets Presidential Medal of Freedom Mary was in charge of the infamous Durban I so-called anti racism conference, which turned into an anti Semitic festival. When she was replaced as UNHRC, Richard Holbrooke (today one of Obama's most senior diplomats) commented, "I think Sergio is much better than Mary Robinson. I think she overly politicized the job." But wait. There's more: The trouble starts with Robinson's tenure as president of Ireland. During the last four years of Robinson's tenure, the European Union donated large sums of money to the Palestinian Authority. Ireland even held the presidency of the European Union for the second half of 1996. During this time, Arafat siphoned large amounts of European aid money away to pay for terror. Robinson can plead ignorance, but documents seized during the recent Israeli incursion into the West Bank revealed that the Palestinian Authority spent approximately $9 million of European Union aid money

POPSBBC advisor QUITS over Gaza appeal "I strongly wish to register my view that by justifying the decision to block the Gaza appeal on the ground of impartiality, the BBC's director-general has done greater reputational harm by implying that the DEC has not been objective in this case," reads his letter. Alam, a former vice-chair of aid organization War on Want, also said that he knew of at least one other committee member who was thinking about resigning over the decision. Despite the BBC refusal, the aid appeal raised more than £4 million for the besieged Gazans.

POPSDisgraceful BBC Blockage on Gaza Aid Appeal The BBC is wonderful. This clip is from the BBC. But who on earth is it in there who, over the past few years, has made the most atrocious decisions such as this which are totally at odds with the interests of the British public, and, in this case with all three main political parties?

POPSZionist leaning BBC Rebuked by Alexander, MP over Gaza Aid. 
Alexander offered to mediate between the charities and the broadcasters. "I understand from a statement issued to the press by the BBC that 'the decision was made because of question marks about the delivery of aid in a volatile situation'. "I stand ready to facilitate discussions with NGOs and charities to seek to address broadcasters' concerns on this point. The situation is developing on the ground and I understand that Oxfam, Save the Children and others have been able to get some aid into Gaza today."
