The International Criminal Court has authorised an investigation into the post-election violence that rocked Kenya after a disputed 2007 poll. More than one thousand people were killed in political and tribal clashes, that brought the country to the brink of civil war. Al Jazeera's Andrew Simmons reports from one of the flashpoints in the violence - the Kibera slum in Nairobi.

YES! This was one of the best nights of gaming I've had in a long time. I decided to cap it all off with a little Modern Warfare 2. As great of a game as this is, it can get boring. All of the blood, swearing, and ridiculous violence in Gears of War is what keeps me coming back for more as well as keeps my interest. But to cap off the night, we played some Private Matches in MW2. I was debating whether or not I was going to post this video. Sure, I played well, and my team won 3v5, but poor tmorea1 was having such a rough night that I didn't want to embarrass him on YouTube. But Project Kaos is a band of brothers, and one thing that brothers do is pick on one another, so sorry buddy! We all know that I'm not the best CoD player out there. I think that's why you guys aren't so critical of my gameplay and don't judge me too much. But I think this is probably my best game of MW2 since picking the game up. As a matter of fact, I think that my other 2 teammates, CAPT I3iGMAC and LAMBO, played amazingly as well! We controlled the entire game, from start to finish. The match got a bit laggy for me towards the end, but it was solid for the rest of the match. So sit back, and enjoy the match as Project Kaos play some MW2 in the very LAST game in the CIVIL WAR Series. Enjoy! ~KZ~ ***UPCOMING VIDEOS*** -ZAPP Talks Episode 13 -Gears of War 2 FLASHBACK Video (Execution On Memorial W/ Post-Game Commentary) -ZAPP's Trip Home For The Holidays (Featuring l4dy360 [my wife] and GrandmaZAPPA ...

Well, they did it. For the first time in 15 years the Ducks of Oregon punched their ticket to the 'granddaddy of them all', the Rose Bowl. Hard to imagine a scene more thrilling than the post-game celebration after the Ducks took down the once mighty USC Trojans, but the Civil War provided plenty of drama. The Ducks survived, came through, held on, heck ... they did what they had to do to win. The Beavers stayed within striking distance until the final drive of the game when Oregon converted two critical 4th down plays. The Ducks will now get ready for a new foe, one they haven't faced in several decades, the Ohio State Buckeyes. The game will air live on ABC at 1:30 PM PST on New Year's Day, January 1st, 2010. Pasadena, can you hear us now? --- This video includes all the randomness you might expect on a field after a Pac-10 Championship storm. From creative outfits to impeccable timing (the Oregonian Newspaper), it was all there for viewing. In some corners you had adults in tears, in others, grandparents jumping on seat backs. This was raw emotion on every level. And Duck willing, we'll do it again on the first day of 2010.

In 1839, the British occupied the port of Aden and established it as a colony in September of that year. They also set up a zone of loose alliances (known as protectorates) around Aden to act as a protective buffer. North Yemen became independent of the Ottoman Empire in 1918 and became a republic in 1962. In 1967, the British withdrew from Aden. After the British withdrawal, this area became known as South Yemen. The two countries were formally united as the Republic of Yemen on May 22, 1990. Despite the 1994 civil war in Yemen and subsequent events like the Sa'dah insurgency and issues in Hadhramawt, Yemen is still considered a republic country.

John A. Payton, one of the nation's top lawyers and a prominent African-American civil rights attorney, was appointed as the sixth president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund in 2008. His address will start with a review of what happened in the United States during the post-Civil War Reconstruction period when after ten years of relatively open democracy all black people were disenfranchised. With that historical perspective, he discussed whether we have become a "post-racial" society whether "we are past all of these issues that have plagued us for 200-plus years." -------------------------------- The Mitchell Lecture Series was endowed in 1950 by a gift from Lavinia A. Mitchell, in memory of her husband, James mccormick Mitchell. An 1897 graduate of the Buffalo Law School, Mitchell later served as chairman of the Council of the University of Buffalo, which was then a private university. Justice Robert H. Jackson delivered the first Mitchell Lecture in 1951, titled "Wartime Security and Liberty Under Law." The lecture was published that year in the first issue of the Buffalo Law Review.

On the Listening Post this week, the civil war has ended in Sri Lanka but the media war continues and anonymity in the blogosphere: Is it a good thing? In part two Listening Posts Salah Khadr delves into the world of online anonymity and looks at some cases that have got people asking: is online anonymity a good thing? Our report begins with a typical argument in the Internet age. A model in New York badmouthed someone, who then set up an anonymous blog, and got back at the model, by maligning her online. But the model fought back, with lawyers. She took Google to court to force Google to reveal the bloggers identity, and won. The blogger is now threatening to take Google back to court for revealing who she was. The argument itself was petty, but the ruling has implications that go far beyond this case and could end up affecting the rights of all bloggers to anonymity. Our report will try to answer some these difficult questions and present you with enough information to make your own mind up.
On the Listening Post this week, the civil war has ended in Sri Lanka but the media war continues and anonymity in the blogosphere: Is it a good thing? We begin this week in post-war Sri Lanka and its governments never ending battle against the media. Its a four-month old story that keeps developing. Back in May, the Sri Lankan Army defeated the separatist Tamil Tigers in a military push that killed 20000 civilians in the last month of fighting alone. Weve reported before on how the Sri Lankan government locked most of the media out of the war zone. Now, the United Nations, human rights groups and journalists are working to uncover the truth about the last bloody days of the battle. A disturbing video has surfaced that appears to show cold-blooded executions. The video has provoked an immediate pushback from the Sri Lankan government and the fight over that piece of footage is being waged all the way from the capital, Colombo to London.

New trees planted in the back of the The Missouri Civil War Museum located at the Jefferson Barracks 1905 Post Exchange Building and converting it into what will become Missouri's largest and finest Civil War museum, library, and educational center. When completed, our facility will become the fourth largest Civil War Museum in the nation and one of the largest Civil War research libraries in the nation as well. Our focus is entirely on Missouri's role in the American Civil War. Our facility is located within the Jefferson Barracks Historic Site in St. Louis, Missouri, which is recognized as the oldest active military installation west of the Mississippi River. The Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery was established during the American Civil War (1863) and is the final resting place for some 16000 Civil War soldiers from both the Union and the Confederacy. Many people believe that Jefferson Barracks is without question, one of the most sacred and historically significant sites in all of Missouri regarding the American Civil War. The brave Civil War soldiers who served here, died here, and are now at rest here have made it so.
Leslie Lumeh's life was turned upside down after he was forced to flee his home in 1997 at the height of Liberia's brutal civil war. His paintings depicting the atrocities of the conflict had made him unpopular with the regime of president Charles Taylor. It was to be eight long years before Leslie was able to return home in 2005 and fulfill his dream to give local artists an opportunity to promote their works. The opening of the country's first post-war art gallery is a sure sign that Liberia is well on its way to healing old wounds.
What are we celebrating? Questions to ponder On the 19th of May 2009, the Sri Lankan president announced that the 27 year old civil war was finally over, that the LTTE as a military entity ceases to exist. This sparked feverish celebrations all over Sri Lanka last seen when Arjuna Ranatunage scored the winning run against Australia to win the World Cup in 96. The defeat of LTTE, the worlds 2nd most dangerous terrorist organisation, (which is well funded by the Tamil Diasporas) is by no means a simple task and should make any Sri Lankan extremely proud. However, what are we celebrating? Defeating an entity we forced into existence? Are the reasons that forced a young Prabhakaran to assassinate the Mayor of Jaffna resolved? Is Sri Lanka truly united towards peace and coexistence? Or have we ended up polarising the moderates? But most importantly, is to right to celebrate when hundreds of thousands of Tamil civilians are held in internment camps living on less than the bare minimum? Arent we in the end celebrating Death? The Death of all those who have sacrificed or have had their right to life taken away from them, during this bloody war? What we honestly need is a month of mourning to put everything into perspective, so we can really begin rebuilding Sri Lanka! Defeating the LTTE was only a fraction of the efforts that are required to build a United Nation. Being sensitive enough to hold out celebrations would have sent the message worldwide that we are genuinely ...
WHO WE ARE The Missouri Civil War Museum mcwm.org is a fully recognized 501(c)(3) not-for-profit educational organization. Our organization was incorporated in 2002 for the sole purpose of saving the historic Jefferson Barracks 1905 Post Exchange Building and converting it into what will become Missouri's largest and finest Civil War museum, library, and educational center. When completed, our facility will become the fourth largest Civil War Museum in the nation and one of the largest Civil War research libraries in the nation as well.

For a 14-year period ending in 2003, Liberia struggled with a brutal civil war, a crippled economy and not much hope. That was until a women's movement started to take hold -- a movement that helped to drive a dictator from power and gave women the kind of opportunities they could never have dreamed of.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE, Tamil: தமிழழவிடுதலைப்புலிகள் ISO 15919: tamiḻ iiḻa viṭutalaip pulikaḷ), commonly known as the Tamil Tigers, is a militant terrorist organization[2] that has waged a violent secessionist campaign since the 1970s to secede from the Sri Lankan state in order to create a separate Tamil state in the north and east of the island. This campaign has developed into the Sri Lankan Civil War, one of longest running armed conflicts in Asia. Due to the tactics employed by the Tamil Tigers, including the extensive use of suicide bombing and their recruitment of child soldiers, they are currently proscribed as a terrorist organization by 32 countries (see list). The Tamil Tigers are headed by their founder, Velupillai Prabhakaran. The Tamil Tigers are notorious for their well-developed militia cadre, atrocities against Muslim and Sinhalese civilians, and high profile attacks, such as the assassination of several high ranking Sri Lankan politicians, and the former Prime Minister of India Rajiv Gandhi. They also have the distinction of introducing suicide bombings as a tactic, and have carried out more suicide bombings than Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and al-Qaeda combined.[2] The LTTE have repeatedly been accused of recruiting child soldiers. The LTTE are the only rebel organization with aircraft.[3] Over the course of the conflict, the Tamil Tigers have frequently exchanged control of territory in north-east Sri Lanka with the ...

The guerilla army of ELAS (National People's Army of Liberation) under the leadership of the KKE (Communist Party of Greece), led the resistance to Nazi occupation during the War. Inspired by the success of Tito's partisan army in Yugoslavia, ELAS held two-thirds of the country in February 1945, at which time a truce was negotiated with the Royalists (Monarcho-fascist Greek army). In October 1946, ELAS launched a campaign to win control of the whole country, and received support from neighboring Yugoslavia, Albania and Bulgaria. Despite the presence of British troops and aid from the US, the Royalists were not expected to last long against the guerillas. Citing the situation in Greece, the inability of the British to cope with the situation and alleged breaches of the Yalta Agreements in Romania, Poland and Bulgaria, US President Harry Truman launched the 'Cold War', terminating aid to the USSR and pledging significant monetary aid to the Royalists in Greece under the guise of the "Marshall plan". The initial efforts of ELAS and affiliated groups were successful, although financial and materiel support from the US and Britain changed the course of the war. Further, the premature tactical changes on the part of ELAS as well as internal political upheaval and the withdrawal of support by neighboring Yugoslavia hastened the demise of the campaign. The KKE leadership made numerous political errors which compounded the problems faced by ELAS on the battlefield. In October 1949 ...

During the Civil War era in America, Judah Benjamin played a substantial role in politics. He was a US senator, Confederate attorney general, Secretary of War, and Secretary of State. He was the scapegoat for President Jefferson Davis when Davis intentionally allowed the island of Roanoke to fall to the Union army. For his loyalty Jefferson made him Secretary of State. He was accused of plotting with Davis in the Lincoln assassination and with involvement in a Canadian spy ring against the Union. More information about Judah Benjamin can be found here: www.encyclopedia.com www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org www.civilwarhome.com www.fau.edu www.peanut.org findingaids.cjh.org Information about the Dreyfus Affair mentioned in this video: The Dreyfus Affair was purported to be the catalyzing event that started the Zionist movement. www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org Excerpt From zadehamin.blogspot.com "...In France, the Dreyfus Affair, far from epitomizing French anti-Judaism, demonstrates the sway of Jewish influence over the French government; the charges of treason against an obscure French artillery captain would have been of no international significance had he not been Jewish. Thus, it was precisely because he was Jewish that this incident attracted international prominence and was ultimately brought about the transformation of France from a Catholic Christian State into a secular state. The secularisation of France was a seismic political event that repercussions are still felt ...
After the Anglo-Boer War from 1899 to 1902 and the formation of the Union of South Africa in 1910, the British Union Flag became the national flag of South Africa. As was the case throughout the British Empire, the Red and Blue Ensign with the Union coat of arms were granted by British Admiralty warrants in 1910 for use at sea. These ensigns were not intended to be used as the Union's national flag, although they were used by some people as such, especially the Red Ensign. It was only after the first post-Union Afrikaner government took office in 1925 that a bill was introduced in Parliament to make provisions for a national flag for the Union; this action immediately prompted three years of near civil war, as the British thought that the Boers wanted to remove their cherished imperial symbols. Natal Province even threatened to secede from the Union. Finally, a compromise was reached that resulted in the adoption of a separate flag for the Union in late 1927, and the design was first hoisted on 31 May 1928. The design was based on the so-called Van Riebeeck flag or Prinsevlag ("Prince's flag" in Afrikaans) which was originally the Dutch flag, and consisted of orange, white, and blue horizontal stripes. A version of this flag was used as the flag of the Dutch East India Company at the Cape (with the VOC logo in the centre) from 1652 until 1795. The South African addition to the design was three smaller flags centred in the white stripe. The smaller flags were the Union ...
