Bombing in Ethiopia

Unknown terror group(s) exploded a bomb on the back of a bus killing at least one and injured several people in the Capital City of Ethiopia. It was reported the explosion took place on Monday March 27, 2006 at 9:45 local time according to the report.
Terrorism of a copy cat or organized one should be fought back through all means. Such bombing would benefit no one including the groups that committing such crime. Ethiopia doesn’t need terrorism; it needs development, progress in political arena, and a dialogue. Everything has to come through hard work but peacefully. The political oppositions who incite violent demonstration without exhausting all peace talks with the Meles government caused a set back to the democratic process in the country overall. People like Meles, like many African leaders would hesitate to give-up power in organized manner, but when the opportunity opened- up like it did, (the last parliamentarian election) you better be smart to take advantage of it. One way to do that was to go through proper channel while accepting the result of the vote conditionally. Rather, the opposition refused the result, led people on the streets thereby gave Meles the excuse to kill and wound tens of demonstrators.
Let us stop the bombing and the violent demonstration for the sake of all Ethiopians who suffered enough and take advantage of economic progress the country has making.

According to ‘Hamerhav’ principal, Rabbi Yeshiyahu Granvich, complete integration of the girls was impossible. The reason being, said municipal workers, was that the students were not observant enough, nor did their families belong to the national-religious movement that the school was founded upon. Among the differences in the daily school life of the girls, a single teacher was responsible to teach them all of their subjects. Worse yet, the four were allotted separate recess hours and were driven to and from school separately. Such action has been labeled by observers as “apartheid.”"

  1 Million Dead in Iraq? 6 Reasons the Media Hide the True Human Toll of War -- And Why We Let Them    :      Information Clearing House: ICH By John Tirman July 20, 2011 "Alternet" - - As the U.S. war in Iraq winds down, we are entering a familiar phase, the season of forgetting—forgetting the harsh realities of the war. Mostly we forget the victims of the war, the Iraqi civilians whose lives and society have been devastated by eight years of armed conflict. The act of forgetting is a social and political act, abetted by the American news media. Throughout the war, but especially now, the minimal news we get from Iraq consistently devalues the death toll of Iraqi civilians. Why? A number of reasons are at work in this persistent evasion of reality. But forgetting has consequences, especially as it braces the obstinate right-wing narrative of “victory” in the Iraq war. If we forget, we learn nothing. I’ve puzzled over this habit of reaching for the lowest possible estimates ...
