I want to tell you my story, because people need to know what's going on in Syria Quiero contar mi historia porque la gente debe saber lo que est sucediendo en Siria
fled Homs last night with my daughter and my husband. We crossed the Lebanese border on foot and crawled through the mud with a Syrian army tank at our backs. I hadnt left the house for months. We arrived here in Lebanon at night and knocked on several houses until we found hospitality at U.Y.s home. Two other families from Homs are staying here as well. Our house is destroyed. The army reduced it to ruins in an hour. It had cost us the sacrifices of a lifetime.

Me escap anoche de Homs clandestinamente con mi hija y mi marido. Cruzamos la frontera libanesa a pie, arrastrndonos por el suelo lleno de barro, con un carro armado del ejrcito sirio que nos amenazaba a las espaldas. Yo ya haca meses que no sala de casa. Llegamos aqu, a Lbano, de noche y llamamos a varias casas hasta que encontramos acogida en la de U. Y. que, adems de a nosotros, tambin acoge a otras dos familias de Homs. Nuestra casa ha quedado destruida. Los militares la hicieron aicos en una hora. A nosotros nos haba costado el sacrificio de una vida.

MEXICO
In less than five years, Mexico has witnessed over 35,000 drugrelated deaths. The trafficking of narcotics from South America to the US is one of the countrys most prolific activities and is managed by seven drug cartels who have carved up the country between themselves. The narcotics trade to the US has an estimated turnover of around US$13 billion a year. Thanks to the corruption of local authorities, the Mexican drug trade allows the cartels to lay down the law in large swathes of society. The capital accumulated by the narcos is an attractive proposition for US banks as well. Between 2004 and 2007, cartels laundered US$378 billion the equivalent of a third of Mexicos entire GDP through just one US bank, Wachovia.

En menos de cinco aos, Mxico ha sido testigo de ms de 35.000 muertes vinculadas con la droga.

El volumen de negocio que manejan los traficantes slo hacia EE UU se estima en torno a los 13.000 millones $US anuales. Un negocio que, gracias a la corrupcin de las autoridades locales, permite a los crteles mexicanos dictar la ley en una amplia capa de la sociedad. El capital acumulado por el narcotrfico es adems un atractivo seuelo para los bancos estadounidenses. Entre 2004 y 2007, los crteles lavaron 378.000 millones $US el equivalente a un tercio del PIB mexicano a travs de un nico banco, Wachovia.
Ive been delivering flowers to the dead for 30 years Hace 30 aos que entrego flores a los muertos
People like getting flowers.
When I deliver them to peoples homes and see their happy faces, I feel good. People also like sending flowers to the dead, which I then take to their graves. In many ways, this job gives me a great sense of satisfaction. Above all, it keeps me very busy.

You are all in good health and could find honest work get on with it! To work isnt dishonorable. If you dont want to do it for yourselves, do it for your children. And if youve reached a certain age ask yourselves if you can honestly say that your life has been worthwhile. Ask yourselves what sort of life you want your children to have as they grow up. A life spent hiding, filled with bereavements and tragedy?
Gozis todos de buena salud y tenis la posibilidad de trabajar honestamente: hacedlo! El trabajo no es una deshonra. Si no queris hacerlo por vosotros, hacedlo por vuestros hijos. Y si ya tenis cierta edad, preguntaos qu vida es sa que habis vivido. Preguntaos qu queris ensear a vuestros hijos que crecen. Una vida de fugitivos, llena de lutos, de tragedias?

Slo la extorsin y la usura reportan a la Ndrangheta 5.000 millones de euros cada ao.

Dont worry, mother, the revolution is coming No te preocupes mam, la revolucin est llegando
Thats what he always said. He didnt
want anyone to worry about him; he just wanted to be free to follow his beliefs. Over the past two years he was shot in the face and leg by army bullets, but it didnt stop him. He continued to take part in protests because he said that it was not right that churches were being burned down.
Bread, freedom and social justice! This slogan was chanted by hundreds of thousands of Egyptians in Tahrir Square in central Cairo in January 2011. Their demonstrations forced President Hosni Mubarak, who had been in power for nearly 30 years, to resign. After a revolution that cost 1,000 Egyptians their lives, power is now in the hands of military rulers despite the presence of a civilian government. All new attempts at protest in Tahrir Square have been severely repressed. Elections for a new parliament began in November. The overall results will only be known in January, when all areas of the country have voted. So far the Muslim Brotherhood, a party banned under Mubarak, is in the lead with 65 per cent of the vote.

the world is being detained a few hundred kilometers to the north-east, in Syria. Tal al-Mallouhi is only 19 years old but has already been sentenced to five years in prison. Officially she has been charged with spying for the Americans. But many believe that the girls blog talmallohi.blogspot.com where she publishes poems and ideas, is the real reason for her arrest. In 2009 the armed forces broke into her home to take her away. Her parents were given no explanation and her computer, CDs and books, were taken away as evidence.
