The Afghan hunger strike brought into sharp focus the new Ireland into which our country has been transforming over the last 10 years. Our booming economy and relatively high wage levels have drawn many thousands of immigrants into the country in search of a better life here. Much as the Irish once looked to America for the promise of a happier future, so many people from less well off countries now look to Ireland. read full story / add a comment

This is a report by Leuren Moret, a renowed expert on Depleted Uranium explaining why delpeted uranium itself should be considered a weapon of mass destruction. This would largely because the dust which spreads widely in the environment, affects everyone exposed to it, both military and civilian alike and that its damaging effects continue for many many years afterwards.
The use of DU also breaks many known conventions on war. read full story / add a comment

The United Nations interim force in Lebanon estimates that Israel dropped approximately 150,000 bombs during the 34-day military offensive.Many of these remain unexploded, even as villagers return home to start clearing away the rubble. The large unexploded missiles, while extremely threatening, are easier to find. It is the estimated 15,000 cluster bomb munitions, each carrying anywhere from 80 to 600 small bomblets, that pose the most immediate threat. read full story / add a comment

by Ciarån Barnes Daily Ireland 23 August 2006 The British government is coming under renewed pressure to reveal if it used a controversial gas on republican prisoners during a prison riot 32 years ago.

More than 300 prisoners were affected by the gas fired from helicopters. It’s claimed that around a fifth of this number have since died or are suffering from unexplained cancers. read full story / add a comment

Daily Ireland 22/08/2006 IRA informer Sean O'Callaghan was tied up by two men he met in a gay pub, and held at knifepoint while they ransacked the house he was meant to be looking after, a court heard yesterday. The former IRA man had invited the pair back to the home he was looking after for his friend, author Ruth Dudley Edwards, following an evening drinking with them in a nearby gay pub. The 52-year-old had selected the bar "only because it was the nearest", but once the men were back at the home they knocked him to the floor, tied him up, threatened him at knifepoint and burgled the house. read full story / add a comment

In Kazakhstan massive slum clearances are taking place to facilitate the development of luxury apartments and leisure facilities. These homes were built by people who were made unemployed and displaced by neo-liberal policies following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Now they find that in order to facilitate these policies they must once again become homeless. The CWI (Comittee for a Workers International. The international of which the Socialist Party is part) section in Kazakhstan, Socialist Resistance, is deemed to be an illegal organisation but has played an active role in organising resistance to these clearances with many of our Comrades having been arrested or injured. I have published here information received from Kazakhstan and while I have edited it to some degree to run two seperate pieces together, it is otherwise a firsthand account of the situation there. Any letters or emails that can be sent in solidarity would be greatly appreciated. read full story / add a comment
