McClatchy Washington Bureau | 08/17/2007 | Saddam's daughter facing terrorism charges

McClatchy Washington Bureau | 08/17/2007 | Saddam's daughter facing terrorism charges: This article talks about Raghad Hussein, Saddam’s daughter leading the Iraq resistance. i have a problem with naming names. One goes like this, "Hussein is believed to be living in Amman, Jordan, as a guest of King Abdullah II" who is Hussein? Did the writer meant Raghad Saddam? Then, it should be read Raghad Saddam, not Hussein! Why do western (almost all) journalist give wrong names to people? why do they consider non western women too called by their husband “LAST NAME” IN THIS CASE THEY CALL Raghad BY HER GRAND FATHERS NAME! THERE IS NO SUCH A THING AS LAST NAME IN IRAQ OR ETHIOPIA OR AFRICA!
THIS IS HOW NAMES CALLED:
MY NAME IS ABUBEKER MY FATHER NAME IS MUSSA MY GRANDFATHER NAME IS USMAN. THEREFORE I AM ABUBEKER MUSSA! CLEAR! I AM neither MUSSA NOR USMAN, I AM ABUBEKER! I AM SICK OF THIS STUPIDITY! GET IT RIGHT! EVEN THE SO CALLED MIDDLE EAST EXPERT JUAN CALL KNOW NOT, ERE IS NO SUCH A THING AS A “LAST NAME” GET IT RIGHT YOU KILLERS!

These include a complex entanglement with the accelerated preparations for a possible attack on Iran, and a poisonous, sectarian aspect that could have the consequence of ripping Syria and the Middle East apart.

Scoop: Ethiopia: Gov't Prepares Assault On Civil Society

Scoop: Ethiopia: Gov't Prepares Assault On Civil Society (New York, July 1, 2008) - Ethiopia's government should immediately abandon plans to impose strict government controls and draconian criminal penalties on nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International said today. The two groups called on donor governments, whose behind-the-scenes efforts to see the bill reformed appear to have failed, to speak out publicly against the de facto criminalization of most of the human rights, rule of law and peace-building work currently being carried out in Ethiopia.
