South African Blames Right Wing Elements For Riots
2008-05-24 09:00:00 Soth Africa’s security chief accused rightwngers linked to the formr apartheid government of fanning anti-foreign riots over the past two weeks that have left 42 dead and thousands driven from their homes. Manala Manzini said: “We have information to the effect that elements that were involved in the pre-1994 election violence are in fact the same elements that have re-startedd contacts with people that they used in the past.” He asserted that members of the Zulu Inkatha Freedom Party(IFP) were playing a role in the anti-foreign outbreaks. Even as he spoke, mobs attacked Somali and Zmbabwean areas whose homes and shops were looted and frequently burned down. Many critics are blaming the ineffectual behavior of President Mbeki as a contributing factor in allowing the riots to spread. He hesitated to send in the armed forces or to reinforce police at the first sign of trouble, and his continued support for President Mugabe of Zimbabwe sent a message that he doesn&r...

Victims of 1998 Indonesia riots still silent
2008-05-15 13:02:00 Ten years after riots that preceded the fall of former Indonesian President Suharto in 1998, victims of sexual violence are still too traumatised to speak out, a rights group said on Thursday. About 1,000 people were killed in the capital Jakarta, mostly those trapped in burning buildings, as mobs rampaged through the streets and attacked shops and malls at the height of the Asian financial crisis in May 1998. The riots followed daily student protests as discontent against Suharto's rule grew after he was re-elected for a fifth consecutive term by a rubber-stamp parliament. An independent team set up to investigate the riots found that 85 mostly ethnic Chinese women were sexually assaulted, but authorities dropped the inquiry, citing a lack of evidence. Ten years later the victims remain silent because they fear for their safety and have no faith in the country's justice system, according to a new report issued by the National Commission on Violence Against...

To clarify something about Beirut riots
2008-05-08 17:33:00 I am noticing something that the media in the west and east are ignoring the economic factor in the Lebanese issue. people do not understand that the majority of Shiites in Lebanon are from the Blue collar working classes whether from the farmers or from the labours. The last economic decisions to raise the price of fuel and diesel in Lebanon just like another Egypt made this class extremely angry especially their wages were the same ,even after the very fast small raise the cabinet had decided from two days before the protests. The Cabinet decided to raise the minimum wages to become $US 500 , useless raise in front of continuous rising prices. Again this protests were not planned by Hezbollah and allies but it was planned by the Lebanese Labour Unions on objection of the very low minimum wages there , it was planned right after the Mahalla Strike. Hezbollah and allies sponsored it as another means to form a pressure on this cabinet and force it to leave after its provoking dec...

Tallinn Riots, One Year Later

Food Riots Erupt Worldwide
2008-04-26 09:59:00 Food riots are erupting all over the world. To prevent them and to help people afford the most basic of goods, we need to understand the causes of skyrocketing food prices and correct the policies that have fueled them. World food prices rose by 39 percent in the last year. Rice alone rose to a 19-year high in March -- an increase of 50 per cent in two weeks alone -- while the real price of wheat has hit a 28-year high. As a result, food riots erupted in Egypt, Guinea, Haiti, Indonesia, Mauritania, Mexico, Senegal, Uzbekistan and Yemen. For the 3 billion people in the world who subsist on $2 a day or less, the leap in food prices is a killer. They spend a majority of their income on food, and when the price goes up, they can't afford to feed themselves or their families. Analysts have pointed to some obvious causes, such as increased demand from China and India, whose economies are booming. Rising fuel and fertilizer costs, increased use of bio-fuels and climate change ha...

Rush Limbaugh Sings: "I'm Dreaming Of Riots In Denver"
2008-04-25 13:28:00 Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh downplayed his "dreaming of riots in Denver" statement, saying that he wasn't calling for riots and was referring to warnings of trouble if super delegates decide the nomination at the Democratic National Convention. Limbaugh's comments on his syndicated show Wednesday prompted Mayor John Hickenlooper to say: "Anyone who would call for riots in an American city has clearly lost their bearings." Hear him sing: Limbaugh made his comment Wednesday to the tune of the holiday song, "White Christmas," and said riots during the convention would ensure Democrats don't get elected. Glenn Spagnuolo, an organizer with the protest group Re-create 68, mimicked a comment by state Rep. Douglas Bruce, R-Colorado Springs, by saying: "We don't need another 5,000 illiterate Limbaugh listeners coming to Colorado."

Riots in Montreal give hockey fans bad name
2008-04-22 15:51:00 Police cars set ablaze, store windows smashed, and assaults on police.Hardly a way to celebrate a series win, now is it?Last night in Montreal, 16 police vehicles were badly damaged, 6 of them torched by hoodlums with no other intent than to cause problems right from the start. It all came on the heels of a pivotal game seven victory by the Habs over the Bruins.And let it be known right here, right now - most of the troublemakers were not Montreal Canadiens fans. And that's usually the case whenever you read a story on rioting after a sports event, in any city.Most of these punks wouldn't know a hockey puck from horse dung, unless they were hurling it at a police car.We're talking about derelicts of society, people congregating just to cause havoc amidst a crowd of people.They're nothing more than thugs who find joy in violence.

Riots, instability spread as food prices skyrocket
2008-04-15 01:06:00 Riots from Haiti to Bangladesh to Egypt over the soaring costs of basic foods have brought the issue to a boiling point and catapulted it to the forefront of the world's attention, the head of an agency focused on global development said Monday. "This is the world's big story," said Jeffrey Sachs, director of Columbia University's Earth Institute. "The finance ministers were in shock, almost in panic this weekend," he said on CNN's "American Morning," in a reference to top economic officials who gathered in Washington. "There are riots all over the world in the poor countries ... and, of course, our own poor are feeling it in the United States." World Bank President Robert Zoellick has said the surging costs could mean "seven lost years" in the fight against worldwide poverty. "While many are worrying about filling their gas tanks, many others around the world are struggling to fill their stomachs, and it is getting more and more difficult every day," Zoellick said late last wee...

Food riots to worsen without global action - UN
2008-04-14 12:08:00 Food riots in developing countries will spread unless world leaders take major steps to reduce prices for the poor, the head of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) said on Friday. Despite a forecast 2.6 percent hike in global cereal output this year, record prices are unlikely to fall, forcing poorer countries' food import bills up 56 percent and hungry people on to the streets, FAO Director General Jacques Diouf said. "The reality is that people are dying already in the riots," Diouf told a news conference. [ ... ] Diouf called on heads of state and government to attend a food crisis summit at FAO headquarters in Rome on June 3-5. He said the priority was a "massive seed transfer" -- to ensure farmers in poor countries could buy seeds, fertiliser and feed at prices they could afford. Other necessary measures include creating financial mechanisms to ensure poorer food importing countries could continue to buy the food they need and give a larger p...
