WESTERN DARFUR ON VERGE OF ABYSS, UNDER-SECRETARY-GENERAL FOR HUMANITARIAN AFFAIRS
WARNS SECURITY COUNCIL IN BRIEFING FOLLOWING RECENT VISIT TO DARFUR, UGANDA
For More Than 1,000 Days, Nights, Darfur’s Defenceless Civilians
Fear for Lives; Sudanese Government’s Failure to Protect Is ‘Shameful’
With a volatile mix of Government forces, militias, rebels and armed opposition groups from Chad roaming freely throughout much of the Sudan’s western Darfur spreading fear and terror, the United Nations top humanitarian official warned the Security Council that war-torn western Darfur was close to the abyss, and suggested that faster progress in the peace process could be made if those negotiating in hotels in big cities did so in the refugee camps, accompanied by their wives and children.
Briefing the Council on his recent visits to Darfur and northern Uganda, Jan Egeland, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, said “for more than a thousand days and a thousand nights, the defenceless civilians of Darfur have been in fear for their lives, and the lives of their children. The Government’s failure to protect its own citizens even in areas where there are no rebels, has been shameful and continues. So does our own failure, more than a year after world leaders in this very building pledged their own responsibility to protect civilians where the Government manifestly fails to do so.”

Still standing, almost as a haunting reminder of the 2006 fire that once surrounded it.

Came back from the vet hospital (not clinic...hospital). The visit hours are between 8 pm and 9 pm! We (Dan, my mom, her boyfriend and I) sat on the floor in a little private room and gave as much affection as possible to Brian for 1 short hour. Poor baby was on morphine and had problem laying down bacause of his intravenous kit (the green thing on his leg). So I made him a "nest" with my scarf and he slept there for a few minutes. He looked so happy to see us.
The doctor gave us in a little plastic container the object that was stuck in Brian intestine: a 3/4in by 1in piece of rubber ball that he probably got at the dog park. I will keep it forever as a souvenir of the trip to Berlin that we won't do this year! Bye bye 2500-3000$ !!!! I really LOVE my dog!
He is coming back tomorrow :)
March 15, 2014, in Tbilisi, Georgia, Green Fist, Food not Bombs and Youth for Heritage hosted a protest concert in front of Tbilisi State University to raise awareness and mobilize society against Khudoni hydropower development project planned on Enguri river, in Svaneti – in a mountainous region of unique beauty. The project involves construction of 650 MW hydropower station with 200 meter high dam; as a result of the project, 530 hectares of land will be inundated and around 1500 people will be physically relocated from their ancestral lands, traditionally owned by indigenous Svan communities for centuries.

RARE abandoned Mazda T2000 pickup truck at a scrapyard at Shek Kong, Hong Kong. It costs HKD$ 65,000. I hope someone would rescue it and restore it back to former glory. It's very heart-brokening to see a classic automobile being put outside rusting. She deserve a better life than sitting there.
I could not help but notice that there are two different variations of the Shoppers Value logo.

February 18th 1967 and Bristol Omnibus 8008, a 1951 Bristol KS6B with an eight foot wide ECW 60-seat body (note the overhang between the front wheel track and the mudguard), is photographed climbing Park Street, Bristol, having recently left the Tramways Centre and heading out to Cribbs Causeway in the west of the city - now a huge out of town retail development, but then a small rank of houses on the outskirts of the city. Within a few yards the driver would probably have needed to change down a cog as he approached the junction with Park Row and the University and Museum buildings.
The bus was withdrawn a little later in the year and kept by the company for inclusion in a possible museum: however, ten years later it was sold for scrap.
