In March 43 I had to go to the army physician because I had to enlist. But I already had connection to the partisans. They came every day. In August I received the call-up to the army. Then I said: “What shall we do?” They wanted me to enlist but the mother was against it. Mother was frightened: “they will destroy everything and burn our house down and so on” and she cried. But I thought that the families would not have to pay so much. So I did enlist in Klagenfurt. And from above we may get a contact. When I was in Klagenfurt, you know anyway how it is with the military – today like this, tomorrow like that. From Klagenfurt to Salzburg; from Salzburg to Lienz, East Tyrol; and from there to Italy via Venice, Rom up to – where was that – near Monte Cassino. Then we were sent to the front. There I was wounded, had a first and second-degree frostbite and because of that I got into the military hospital in Italy, in South Italy (in Sora) from there to Venice, from Venice to Merano, and something like that. Then back to Germany, Black Forest, Solingen – there was a hospital. Afterwards I always thought: Well, I have to get out. I made an application to be moved to the military hospital in Klagenfurt. They did allow it and on the first day, when I was in Klagenfurt, my mother came to see me. She told me that the partisans said: “Come and join us soon, we are waiting for you!” After 14 days the medical consultant of the hospital said: “I will grant you a holiday although I know 100% that you will never come back.” My answer was: “I will come back, of course, where else should I go?” I was with walking sticks, like today; I couldn’t go anywhere in any case. It is just a shame that I didn’t go back to that doctor after the war. Then I could have reported: “Mr. Consultant, I am back.”

In Casanare, a region in the southeast of Bogotá, oil was discovered in the 90'. Paramilitary troops and regulary armed forces have since then killed 2600 people, to secure BP the access to the oil in place.
The people try to resist their replacement and demand justice and compensation - whithout any success so far. |

Through militant strikes over the last four years, the mostly migrant workforce in the logistics sector in Italy have managed to substantially improve their working conditions. Treated with violent arrogance and regularly defrauded out of a part of their salary in the past, they've now won 'normal' working conditions in most workplaces.
Because of these achievements, more and more workers are ... more |

Greek hospital under workers' control
|
| |
"The occupation of our hospital in Kilkis by its workers started on Monday, February 20th, 8:30 local time.
This occupation is not only about us, the physicians and the workers at the Kilkis Hospital. Neither is it only about the Greek National Health System, which is collapsing, indeed. We are in this fight because what is in real danger now is the human rights and our lives."

How I spent my Sunday in Fukushima

This morning Pieter, Xeni and I (pictured above) set out with Miles, along with father/son superteam Joe and Bryan Moross. The plan was to drop off a few Geiger counters with volunteers and try to cover some new ground, perhaps near the exclusion zone. But it ended up being so much more.

Tunis, Algiers, Cairo, …Shahajanpur?
|

On 1st of February 2011 – while riots rocked the Kasbah and downtown Cairo – around 150,000 young people arrived in Bareilly, near Shahajanpur in Uttar Pradesh, India. They came in order to apply for 416 vacancies at the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP). Facing the enormous mass of applicants the local administration called off the hiring procedure. The angry youth started smashing the place up, burnt cars, government and media buildings.
