Aswat Aliraq

Aswat Aliraq: "Falluja, Feb 20, (VOI)- The new Iraqi flag will not be raised over the governmental buildings and institutions in Falluja city, a member of the local council said, noting that the council clings to the old flag.


“All local council members agreed not to raise the new Iraqi flag on Falluja and this came in consistency with the desire of Anbar residents,” Sabah Nagi al-Ulwani told Aswat al-Iraq - Voices of Iraq (VOI).
He said that the government should concentrate on dealing with the Iraqi citizen’s needs, describing the current crisis as the worse in the Iraqi history.
The Iraqi parliament voted earlier this month with a majority of votes - 110 out of 165 - in favor of a draft to modify the national flag by removing the three stars from the old flag and keeping the words Allahu Akbar (God is Great)."

The informer, codenamed Curveball was Rafid Ahmed Alwan who, in 1999, turned up at a refugee centre in Germany seeking political asylum. He went on to convince the Pentagon he was a brilliant chemist who had helped develop mobile biological warfare laboratories."

Israeli school segregated Ethiopian students » Ethiopian Review : "The placement of four Ethiopian girls in a separate class from their peers at a Petah Tikva grade school has sparked accusations of segregation on Tuesday morning following a report in Yediot Aharonot. 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.”"
