The _*unrecognised*_ Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus has a presidential election today.

The self-proclaimed republic was declared in 1983 in the the northern region of the island which the Turkish Army occupied back in 1974.

Turkey is the world's only country to have recognized it. The Organization of the Islamic Conference (bit bigger than the arabic league but the mint tea isn't as food) granted it observer member status under the name of "Turkish Cypriot State". read full story / add a comment

1931 the 14th of April was declared the 2nd Republic of Spain.

In its short life it brought hope, inspiration, creative solutions, the values of fraternity, liberty, equality to countless people who had lived in near feudal conditions through dictatorship.
It's "firsts" were many-
free education, free health care, over 50% of the arable land organised in autonomous collectives,
the first parliamentary representation by anarchists, the first political radio broadcasts, the first Catalan & Basque republics were declared as an associate component within it's state architecture.

All too quickly it fell, as the first victim of European fascism. read full story / add a comment

A spokesman for Ms Harney said the complaint made at the timehad not been specific, and her reply was factualty correct given that labour inspectors had investigated Gama and "hadn't revealed anything". read full story / add a comment

men will enter a special place to engage in a
millenial ritual to elect one of their belief pattern to
lead over
1.2 billion fellow believers into "the XIX century".

The result of their ritual shall influence the social,
political, ethical, economic, moral and "spiritual"
direction of this planet.

Here's a short reminder of the "very special
arrangements" read full story / add a comment
