NATO FAILING WAR IN AFGHANISTAN

NOVANEWS Leaked Documents Paint Devastating Portrait of the Failing war in Afghanistan July 26, 2010 by Michael Leon Afghanistan war - Greatest government leak since the Pentagon Papers, NYT: The War Logs - By Glenn Greenwald The most consequential news item of the week will obviously be — or at least should be — the massive new leak by WikiLeaks of 90,000 pages of classified material chronicling the truth about the war in Afghanistan from 2004 through 2009. Those documents provide what The New York Times calls ”an unvarnished, ground-level picture of the war in Afghanistan that is in many respects more grim than the official portrayal.” The Guardian describes the documentsas “a devastating portrait of the failing war in Afghanistan, revealing how coalition forces have killed hundre...

NOVANEWS Azad’s assassination: An insight into the Indian state’s response to peoples’ resistance Rajeesh | July 25, 2010 | Categories: Uncategorized | URL: http://wp.me/pglpM-1QI July 25, 2010 - Sanhati by Gautam Navlakha The assassination of Cherukuri Raj Kumar a.k.a Azad on July 1-2, 2010 killed a senior leader of the CPI (Maoist) and scuttled a peace process thus virtually destroying the hopes of millions of Indians who wanted the government offensive against the Maoists to be halted. In this sense it was a double killing. We were encouraged by the news reports that the Union Home Minister had written to Swami Agnivesh on May 11, 2010 to explore the possibility of a 72 hour ceasefire to pave the way for talks between the Maoists and the Indian State and the lette...

15-YEARS-OLD VENDOR BECAME A DEAD MAOIST

NOVANEWS Rajeesh July 25, 2010 Categories: Uncategorized http://wp.me/pglpM-1QD BASTAR (Chhattisgarh): On June 3, late at night, in a clearing where the fields of Murdunda village merge into the jungle, a patrol party of CRPF’s C168 battalion is fired on by the Maoists. The CRPF returns fire. The jawans see a figure emerge from the bushes and break into a run. They take aim and shoot. The figure is hit. It collapses. It turns out to be a young boy. Till this point, the narratives converge — that of the police and the dead boy’s family. But from here on, there are vastly different versions about what happened. The police say they found explosives near Lalu’s dead body. “He was a Sangham (group) member of CPI Maoist and was planting a bomb at the spot,” says Vijay Chauhan, of...
