You are all potential terrorists. It matters not that you live in Britain, the United States, Australia or the Middle East. Citizenship is effectively abolished. Turn on your computer and the US Department of Homeland Security’s National Operations Center may monitor whether you are typing not merely "al-Qaeda", but "exercise", "drill", "wave", "initiative" and "organisation": all proscribed words. The British government’s announcement that it intends to spy on every email and phone call is old hat. The satellite vacuum cleaner known as Echelon has been doing this for years. What has changed is that a state of permanent war has been launched by the United States and a police state is consuming western democracy.

A diss of Japan, when it has managed 20 years of a terrible economy with far more grace than America has mustered 5 years into a lost decade. He blames Japan’s low birth rate on its lack of religion and “traditionalism”. So how does he explain an even lower birth rate in Italy? Or the comparatively high birth rate in equally irreligious Sweden?. Per him, it’s that Swedes are cool with out of wedlock births. No, there is a simpler reason in Japan. Being a wife/mother sucks (by contrast, those Swedish men are big on sharing homekeeping duties). He’s pointing to the wrong sort of traditionalism: it’s not about legal relations, it’s gender roles. And the other issue he ignores is immigration. Demographers in the US in 1990 also predicted a falling population for the US, but immigration, particularly of Hispanics, which have higher birth rates than other groups, changed the trend.

WEST AFRICA: IRIN weekly humanitarian round-up 631 27 April 2012

humanitarian news and analysis a service of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Table of contents 1. MALI: Rebels and their cause 2. Analysis: Latest coup another setback for Guinea-Bissau 3. GUINEA-BISSAU: Chronology of instability 4. NIGERIA: Bone marrow register an "important milestone" 5. COTE D'IVOIRE: Displaced in west feel "forgotten" 6. SIERRA LEONE: "Now we can move on" MALI: Rebels and their cause DAKAR, 23 April 2012 (IRIN) - After months of fighting in northern Mali, the Mouvement National de Libération de L'Azawad (MNLA) - National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad - declared an end to military operations. The rebels refer to the regions of Gao, Kidal and Timbuktu in northern Mali as Azawad. However, following international and regional condemnation of the movement's declaration of independence on 6 April, several factions have emerged, exposing deep divisions between Al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), Islamist groups, and Tuareg groups. Read report online Analysis: Latest coup another setback for Guinea-Bissau DAKAR-BISSAU, 23 April 2012 (IRIN) - Development, democracy and stability gains in Guinea-Bissau have suffered a major setback following the military takeover in Guinea-Bissau on 12 April. Read report online GUINEA-BISSAU: Chronology of instability BISSAU, 23 April 2012 (IRIN) - Rather than shoring up democratic institutions, Guinea-Bissau's presidential elections in March widened divisions between civilian and military leaders, culminating in a 12 April coup. It was the fifth successful putsch the country has experienced since independence in 1974. Read report online NIGERIA: Bone marrow register an "important milestone" LONDON, 27 April 2012 (IRIN) - Only a fraction of the millions of people worldwide with blood and autoimmune disorders survive - especially those in poorer countries - partly due to the lack of bone marrow stem cell transplants. A recently established Nigerian bone marrow registry hopes to boost matches between donors and patients, and survival chances.

But for some displaced Ivoirians still unable to return to their homes, the promises ring hollow. Read report online SIERRA LEONE: "Now we can move on" DAKAR, 26 April 2012 (IRIN) - Sierra Leoneans are relieved that former warlord and President of Liberia Charles Taylor has been convicted by the Special Court of Sierra Leone on 11 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
