When Play Is Criminalized: Racial Disparities in Childhood

A significant segment of the child-age population in the United States is effectively denied one of the most important rights of childhood: free play. The trend away from unstructured play can have deleterious effects on the cognitive, social and emotional development of affected children. Because of disparities in opportunities for physical activity at school, the semi-privatization of public space, and the criminalization of Black and Brown bodies in motion, children of color, especially those of low socio-economic status, too often miss this essential requirement for healthy childhood development.

Top US General: Turkish Media Report ‘Absurd‘

Indigene Kinder in Kolumbien sterben an Hunger

Der Zugang zu Trinkwasser für die Bevölkerung in La Guajira ist bereits seit zehn Jahren durch die Umleitung des Flusses Ranchería sowie den Bau eines Damms für die Versorgung des Kohlebergwerks El Cerrejón stark eingeschränkt. In vielen Orten gibt es nahezu keinen Zugang mehr zu Wasser. Steigende Temperaturen in Folge des Wetterphänomens El Niño sowie die anhaltende Dürre haben den Mangel noch verstärkt und die Landwirtschaft fast vollständig zum Erliegen gebracht.

DER TERRORKRIEG

(10.4.2015) „George Orwell hat einst geschrieben, dass es keine Rolle spielt ob der Krieg nicht real ist oder ob er es ist: ein Sieg ist nicht möglich. Der Krieg ist nicht dazu da gewonnen zu werden, er ist dazu da kontinuierlich zu sein. Eine hierarchische Gesellschaft ist nur möglich auf der Basis von Armut und Ignoranz. Diese neue Version ist die Vergangenheit und keine andere Vergangenheit kann jemals existiert haben. Grundsätzlich wird der Kriegseinsatz geplant, um die Gesellschaft am Rande des Verhungerns zu halten. Der Krieg wird durch die herrschende Gruppe gegen ihre eigenen Untertanen geführt. Und sein Ziel ist nicht der Sieg über Eurasien oder Ostasien, sondern die Gesellschaftsstruktur intakt zu halten.“

It’s high time to resolve Turkey’s Kurdish question

There is no doubt that Turkey has entered a new era since the July 15 failed coup attempt, one which will witness drastic changes in its key security institutions and state structure, as well as its threat assessment.

The government is working on a new decree law that will change the status of the Gendarmerie Forces Command and Coast Guard Command, fully subordinating both institutions to the Interior Ministry. The gendarmerie forces are expected to serve as the “rural police” under the Police Department, while civilian control of the land, naval and air forces will be increased. The government is planning to appoint an undersecretary to each force so that it will much better oversee the military’s actions.
