This article looks at the EU intervention in Chad and argues that it is driven by the desire of the French government to shore up a dictator. The EU operation, which includes some 400 Irish troops, is essentially a fig leaf for the promotion of the foreign policy interests of the French state. The mainstream media ignores the geopolitical realities of this and other such interventions in Africa and thus ignores the potential negative consequences - for both Africans and Europeans. read full story / add a comment

“This Budget serves no vested interest. Rather, it provides an opportunity for us all to pull together and play our part according to our means so that we can secure the gains which have been the achievement of the men and women of this country. It is, a Cheann Comhairle, no less than a call to patriotic action.”

With these words, Minister for Finance Brian Lenihan concluded his Budget speech in the Dáil on Tuesday 21st October. Just a week later Lenihan and his colleagues were left in no doubt whatsoever what people thought of his ‘call to patriotic action’ read full story / add a comment

International trade rules have a huge impact on people in developing countries, whether they are farmers, workers or families just trying to make a living in the context of globalisation. Yet the rules of the global economy have been set up to serve the interests of big business, not people’s needs. A global movement is campaigning for trade rules that put people and the environment before the interests of big business.
