Greetings!

This is a quick report to you all on the results of our combined Graduates Celebration and Fundraiser for the Neighborhood House last Friday night.

First the very good news. The graduation event went very well (did you see the beautiful pictures in the Section B of Monday June 5's "Capital Times?") 35 of all 51 identified graduates were present to receive their awards. There were graduate from high school through MATC accounting to double majors at the bachelors level, law, MD's from John Hopkins to several PhD's. It was very envigorating considering the long and entertaining after party. It was simply beautiful!!

Our special collective thanks to Dr. Ogi Okwumabua for his inspring speech on "Identity & Success" to our new and continuing graduates.

Now the bad news. Our fundraising for our beloved Neighborhood House did not go well simply because most people who could give money were not present. The need and reason for the African Associaiton to help the Neighborhood House cannot be over emphasized. So it is our decision to make this a year long effort to raise as much funds as possible to keep the center open. So please stay tuned.

In the meantime, if you want to make a contribution to the AAM Neighborhood House Fund, please send a check

"AAM-NH" to:

According to research emanating from Liberia, it is estimated that the illiteracy rate of Liberians is at 85 to 90 percent. Before the war, the educational system of Liberia was centralized in that education was available to Liberians who resided in Big cities. A case in point was the District of Flelelah, Lower Bong County where my late Father had a farm 100 miles from the city. There were children who could not enroll at the local public or private schools because of the distant. Government as well as local Government had no plans to condition the road as well as provide transportation for Liberian children to get to school. The children were willing to go to school but there were no means of getting on campus thereby leaving them to play in the village and work on their parents� farm for the rest of their entire livelihood. Since these children had no access to school they end up acquiring informal education. Some of them due to their parent pressure went thru the hardship of walking said miles to reach Flelelah and enroll in school. The situation in Flelelah occurred everywhere in the country. The weak one could not continue their academic sojourn. The civil war is over and the Liberian people have elected an educated leader. During the civil war because of revenge, ethnicity and hate, we Liberians killed some of the brightest mind in our country. Encourage by the fact that some Liberians like me and other had the opportunity to travel abroad in search of greener pasture. I agreed with the President of Liberia, as she makes education a cornerstone on her agenda for a new Liberia. I Hope that the President budget to the legislature will reflect her point of focus on education not only mere rhetoric. The hour has come for all Liberians to help change the educational agenda for our country. I am calling for a National Conference on Education to help lay out a workable plan of action that will address Liberia educational needs. We can�t rely on the old system because it has failed our people. Let all of us get involve for a better educational system. To my fellow Liberians in the Diasporas, it is time to make use of the opportunity we have and prepare ourselves for a better tomorrow. We must remember we are the future of Liberia. I will like to applaud those Liberians who after acquiring advance education are going back home to contribute their quota to the rebuilding of their motherland. This I think is a noble idea. For us who are here and not ready to go yet must see reasons in advancing ourselves educationally so that Liberia can benefit from us. In this like I like to congratulate all Liberians for their educational advancement and will hope that they keep the courage and persevere to higher height so that we can reduce illiteracy in our country.

To the Streets! Sudanese Gov. Violates Peace Agreement

Take Action. Now!

To the Streets! Sudanese Gov. Violates Peace Agreement

Dear Friend,

There have been many declarations of victory in recent weeks – with the signing of the peace agreement in Abuja and the launch of the United Nations (UN) assessment mission that could pave the way for a UN peacekeeping mission in Darfur – but the fact is that the only change on the ground in Darfur is that things are getting worse. It is time for us to take to the streets again to let decision-makers know that we will not be silent until the genocide stops. Join us at the White House on June 20^th or at the UN on Tuesdays, or consider crafting an event of your own in this critical month.

Africa Action has been monitoring the peace agreement signed between the Government of Sudan and one of the Darfur rebel factions. The UN has taken the first step towards a possible future peacekeeping mission by authorizing a UN assessment team that is likely leaving this week. The UN Security Council is also in Sudan this week to continue to pressure the Sudanese government to accept a UN mission to support the work of the African Union on the ground.

These are all positive first steps, but unfortunately, the Sudanese government and their proxy militia, the Janjaweed, have already violated the peace agreement on several occasions by attacking villages and camps for internally displaced people. With the breaking of the ceasefire, it is clear that this peace agreement is fragile at best. Any hope for a new and more substantive agreement signed by all parties rests on a UN peacekeeping mission being deployed to protect the people and create a safe passage for humanitarian aid thereby fostering a climate of security that is conducive to lasting peace. For more analysis on the deal please read our latest policy statement and our campaign update.

The linchpin to achieving a multilateral intervention continues to be the United States. The U.S. has special leverage with each of the key stakeholders and will be the most powerful and persuasive voice in decisions about troop size, mandate and the speed of deployment. While the Bush Administration has been on record in support of a UN intervention, we hear from our sources that the U.S. has failed to do the diplomatic heavy lifting required to secure peace in Darfur. We have the power to protect the people of Darfur, but will we use it?

We have never been better poised to make change than at this moment, but too many people think that, with the signing of the Abuja deal, the genocide is all but resolved. Please help us to set the story straight by taking to the streets to stop genocide in Darfur.

Africa Action will host an action at the White House on World Refugee Day, June 20^th at noon in Lafayette Park (16^th and H St. NW). (NOTE THE NEW DATE! This event was moved from the previously announced date in earlier June.)

This is a quick report to you all on the results of our combined Graduates Celebration and Fundraiser for the Neighborhood House last Friday night. First the very good news. The graduation event went very well (did you see the beautiful pictures in the Section B of Monday June 5's "Capital Times?") 35 of all 51 identified graduates were present to receive their awards. There were graduate from high school through MATC accounting to double majors at the bachelors level, law, MD's from John Hopkins to several PhD's. It was very envigorating considering the long and entertaining after party. It was simply beautiful!! Our special collective thanks to Dr. Ogi Okwumabua for his inspring speech on "Identity & Success" to our new and continuing graduates. Now the bad news. Our fundraising for our beloved Neighborhood House did not go well simply because most people who could give money were not present. The need and reason for the African Associaiton to help the Neighborhood House cannot be over emphasized. So it is our decision to make this a year long effort to raise as much funds as possible to keep the center open. So please stay tuned.

Thanks for the below 'quick report' on the 'good' and 'bad' news from the Friday,

June 2, 2006 AAM's sponsored joint events, Mr. President.

Recognition of 2006 Graduates (The good news)

Indeed, it is, as usual, very heart-warming to note how AAM continues to recognize

the academic achievements of our own annually. It stimulates, encourages and/or

motivates not only graduates, their sponsors (parents,guardians or institutions), it also

does and challenges others to do likewise. For these and many other positive effects

on the community, I take my hat off to AAM for this compassionate role as it touches

lives beyond the Madison community for an immeasurable future. While it takes a village

to raise a child, I would add that it also takes a community like ours to support a person

in their personal endeavors. And yes, as each person succeeds, the community succeeds

in many ways as well. Indeed, this is how I see it.

Fundraiser to Support the Neighborhood House (Now the bad news)

Although I do not know if there is any targeted goal for the fundraiser to support the

Neighborhood House's continued existence, it seems the bad news result (I do not know

how much was raised to make it a 'bad' news), in my mind, perhaps was due to trying to

mix water with oil. Because this is scientifically difficult, if not impossible, to come up with

a reasonably useful compound, likewise, joining two equally important events such as

recognition and fundraiser, it is socially and economically unrealistic to reap 'good' news for

both.

Firstly, the fundraiser part of the joint event was a little unclear in terms of what the actual

financial goal was/is. Secondly, except for die-hard AAM members or warm-hearted

compassionate individuals, some of the graduates and their sponsors felt it was a blackmail

to invite them to a recognition program and at the same time ask them to participate in a

fundraiser project. Could the second reason be why some did not show up for the

recognition part? Perhaps, just perhaps. This is how I see it.

Suggestions, As I See It

How do we convert the 'bad' news into 'good' news? It is not too late. The continued

existence of the Neighborhood House is close to my heart. I hope it does for many in the

African community as well. This is because it has served us as our 'Palm Wine Tree' or

common meeting place, for social events and meetings for a long, long time. Hence, to enable

AAM participate meaningfully in the continued existence of the 'Palm Wine Tree', here is how

I see it:

(1) Clearly identify AAM's goal(s) in terms of dollar amount and/or otherwise

(2) Inform the membership and the African community about such goal(s)

(3) Develop strategy (ies) that will touch the depth of yearning hearts to give

(4) Implement the strategy (ies) by Involving other Madison's African based organizations

Recommendation In the implementation of the strategy (ies), avoid, as much as possible,

the scenario of mixing water with oil. It may just work better. An error made once is quite an

experience to avoid. And of course, this is how I see it.

Cheers and thanks so much for this worthy cause. It is truly compassinately heart-warming.

Good Luck!

Founder of Black Holocaust Museum Dies

By EMILY FREDRIX
Associated Press Writer

June 11, 2006, 3:17 PM EDT

MILWAUKEE -- James Cameron, who survived an attempted lynching by a white mob and went on to found America's Black Holocaust Museum, died Sunday at the age of 92.

Cameron had suffered from lymphoma for about five years, said Marissa Weaver, chairwoman of the Milwaukee-based museum's board.

In 1930, in Marion, Ind., Cameron and two friends were arrested and accused of killing a white man during a robbery and raping the man's companion.

A mob broke them out of the local jail and hanged Cameron's two friends, then placed a rope around his neck.

"They began to chant for me like a football player, 'We want Cameron, we want Cameron," he recalled in a 2003 interview with The Associated Press. "I could feel the blood in my body just freezing up."

The 16-year-old shoeshine boy was spared when a man in the crowd proclaimed his innocence.

In 1988, he opened the museum in a small storefront room in downtown Milwaukee. Six years later, he took over an abandoned 12,000-square-foot gym the city sold him for $1. The museum explores the history of the struggles of blacks in America from slavery to modern day and was considered one of the first of its kind in the country.

"It's the most important thing in the world to me to carry on this fight, to explain the history that's been hidden ... from black people," he told The Associated Press in 2003.

Cameron said in interviews that he was inspired to create the museum by a 1979 trip to Israel and Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial.

Weaver said Cameron counted one of his defining moments in June last year when the U.S. Senate issued an apology for not standing against the lynching violence that killed more than 4,700 people from 1882 to 1968, three-fourths of them black.

"I was saved by a miracle," Cameron said at the time. "They were going to lynch me between my two buddies," he said, with thousands of people "hollering for my blood when a voice said 'Take this boy back.'"

Cameron was convicted of being an accessory before the fact to voluntary manslaughter and spent four years in prison, but was granted a pardon in 1993. He said he had been beaten into signing a false confession.

Cameron stopped participating in the museum's daily operations about four years ago but continued attending special events and making speaking engagements, Weaver said.

"The museum is his legacy," she said. "That was his life's work -- to share with the world the injustices that African-Americans have suffered while at the same time, and most importantly, providing an opportunity to repair bridges that have been suffered because of our history."

Cameron is survived by his wife, Virginia, and three of their children.

MSO has free outdoor concert Saturday

By Jacob Stockinger
June 15, 2006

Summer is not only what you listen to, but where you listen to it.

On Saturday at 7 p.m. in the parklike setting of the American Family Insurance campus (6000 American Parkway, on the far east side of Madison), the Madison Symphony Orchestra will hold a free summer outdoor family concert entitled "Symphony at Twilight."

The event, co-sponsored by American Family Insurance and Alliant Energy, is a first for the MSO, but the orchestra's leaders say they are hopeful it will become an annual event. Like "Opera in the Park," put on by the Madison Opera, it might even help build an audience of winter-season ticket buyers and subscribers.

Maestro John DeMain will lead the orchestra in a concert of familiar classics, including the fourth movement of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5; Shostakovich's "Festival Overture"; Saint-Saens' "Bacchanale" from "Samson and Delilah"; Richard Rogers' "Carousel Waltz"; and Tchaikovsky's "Marche Slave."

MSO youth concerto competition winner Akornefa Akyea, 16, who will be a junior at Verona High School next year, will perform the first movement of Mozart's Flute Concerto No. 1.

Concertgoers are encouraged to pack a picnic and bring a blanket. The grounds will open for picnics at 5 p.m. Free parking is available on site.

Wheelchair-accessible seating and parking are also available. Follow the signs and the parking volunteers when you enter the American Family campus.

The event is dog-free and grill-free. A rain date is scheduled for 7 p.m. Sunday. For rain call information, visit madisonsymphony.org, sign up for the MSO's News/Special Offers e-mail list at madisonsymphony.org/mymso, listen to Magic 98 (WMGN-98.1 FM) or watch NBC Channel 15/WMTV.

Here are driving directions: Take East Washington Avenue (U.S. 151) to the American Parkway exit (just east of I-90/94). Then Take American Parkway to American Family Insurance, andfollow the signs and volunteers to the Building C parking ramp.

Nigerian President Surprised by Corruption

By DONNA BRYSON
Associated Press Writer

June 17, 2006, 8:27 AM EDT

LONDON -- Nigeria's president, nearing the end of his days in the country's highest office, said Saturday that he never intended to keep the job longer than two terms.

In the wide-ranging interview in London, President Olusegun Obasanjo also spoke of corruption in his country and his efforts to calm the southern region.

A strong campaign by Obasanjo's supporters to amend the constitution to enable him run for a third term was defeated in parliament last month.

Many had argued Obasanjo needed more time to complete his reforms, but opponents said an extension would undermine democracy on a continent where many leaders have established themselves as dictators for life.

"When I took this job, I took it on the basis of the constitution," Obsanjo said.

Obasanjo, first elected in 1999, completes his second term this year.

He has been credited with guiding the Nigerian economy to a growth rate projected at more than 8 percent this year, and with bringing down unemployment and the percentage of Nigerians living in poverty.

In April, Nigeria became the first country in Africa to wipe out its Paris Club debt, freeing up cash for investing at home. Nigeria worked off $30 billion in Paris Club debts through cancellation grants and buybacks.

Obasanjo said when he first came to office, he did not know how pervasive corruption was in the country, affecting all aspects of life.

"It took me some time to be able to come to grips with the depth of the decay," he said.

But Obasanjo said he has been able to make inroads and the result has been improvements in the economy and other areas in Africa's most populous country, home to some 130 million people.

Obasanjo, who was in London for talks with potential investors, said the international community was starting to see Nigeria as a responsible business partner.

The anti-corruption group Transparency International rated Nigeria the most corrupt country in the world in 2000, a year after Obasanjo took office. The rating had improved but was still at the bottom of the scale in 2005, the group's most recent survey.

Obsanjo said he was trying to calm the southern region of the country, where militants are battling the government for control of the region's oil wealth, by addressing concerns about jobs and poverty as well as cracking down on "criminality."

Instability in the oil-producing southern delta continues to be a concern for Africa's biggest oil producer and the foreign giants like Shell and ExxonMobil who work there.

Obasanjo said the unrest resulted from "many years of accumulation of neglect by the oil companies and the government.

"But now we are ready to confront the problem head on. Firstly, we must win the hearts and minds of the people," Obsanjo said.

"And we must not encourage criminality," said Obsanjo, who has launched a security crackdown in the region.

He said that while he understood the anguish of relatives of people kidnapped by the militants, he did not encourage paying the ransoms, as oil companies reportedly have done.

Looking ahead, Obasanjo said he wanted to devote himself to farming and to various development projects in Nigeria after his presidency ends.

He also said he would be willing to continue being a regional peacemaker. Obasanjo has led peacemaking efforts in Sudan's Darfur region, Ivory Coast, Togo and Liberia.

Kennedy International Airport and Mumbai, India, and Accra, Ghana, effective Nov. 1 and Dec. 11, 2006, respectively*. The new service further demonstrates Delta�s commitment to growing its position as New York City�s leading airline. �Delta is New York�s airline and we are excited to again pioneer new routes that expand our global reach and add convenience to the lives of our customers,� said Jim Whitehurst, Delta�s chief operating officer. �The JFK-to-Mumbai route will be the first and only nonstop flight between two of the world�s most important business centers, and our new service to Africa will open a corridor of commerce between the world�s largest travel market and growing economies on the West African coast. �Delta already operates service to more global destinations than any airline in the world with the largest domestic network of destinations in the United States, the largest trans-Atlantic route system with 29 nonstop destinations across Europe, India and Israel, and the second-largest route system in South and Central America. With more additions planned by winter, Delta is proud to operate nonstop flights to 12 unique trans-Atlantic destinations not served by any other U.S. carrier,� Whitehurst said. The new nonstop service from JFK to Mumbai and Accra will be operated with international widebody aircraft featuring Delta�s refurbished business and economy class products. The 268-seat Boeing 777-200ER aircraft will be used to Mumbai while the 214-seat Boeing 767-300ER aircraft will fly to Accra. On both routes, customers can enjoy Delta�s award-winning BusinessElite service featuring all-leather sleeper seats with 60 inches of legroom, innovative food offerings designed by celebrity chef Michelle Bernstein, award-winning, original wine selections, and industry-leading, on-demand personal in-seat entertainment boasting more than 20 first-run and popular classic movies, a variety of TV programs, a broad range of music, and a suite of 12 video games. Economy class customers also will notice recent improvements on Delta, including new all-leather economy seats, enhanced food offerings and a complimentary cocktail with each meal. With the start of this new nonstop service, Delta will discontinue its one-stop service to India via Paris-Charles de Gaulle. Delta�s new nonstop service to Mumbai will replace existing one-stop service to Mumbai and to Chennai, effective Nov. 1. Delta will continue to serve Chennai with convenient codeshare service via Paris on SkyTeam partner Air France, once codeshare approval is obtained. Additionally, Delta will offer direct, same-plane service between its largest international hub in Atlanta and Mumbai with these schedule enhancements. The new flights will significantly improve customer travel times between Mumbai and the United States, reducing the flight duration by at least four hours in each direction when compared to the current one-stop service. To Accra, Delta also will increase customer convenience by reducing travel times by up to eight hours in each direction when compared to connections on other major airlines via Europe. As previously announced, Delta will be the only major U.S. carrier operating scheduled service between Africa and the United States this winter with new service to Dakar, Senegal*, and Johannesburg, South Africa* beginning from Atlanta Dec. 4, and now between New York and Accra one week later. Said Congressman Gregory W. Meeks, whose district includes John F. Kennedy International Airport: �I commend Delta Air Lines for offering New York travelers this much-needed nonstop service to Mumbai, India and Accra, Ghana, from one of the world�s leading airlines. For the past several years, I have worked hard with the Port Authority on bringing nonstop air service from JFK to these important cities that both have significant constituencies in New York. Delta recognizes the tremendous value these emerging markets offer to business and leisure travelers. I appreciate Delta�s commitment to providing New York�s air travelers with many options and excellent service at affordable prices.� Added New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg: "Connecting New York City directly with more of the world's leading business centers reinforces our position as the international business hub.

For customers traveling to the United States from India or Ghana, Delta�s new service will provide convenient onward connecting opportunities thanks to the continued growth of the airline�s domestic hub at JFK. By October, Delta will double to 140 the number of domestic departures from JFK, up from 70 in May. This growth includes new or expanded nonstop service to key U.S. destinations such as Boston, Columbus, Ohio, Detroit, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, San Diego and Washington, D.C. Additionally, with the July schedule, Delta will be the only airline to operate service to all 50 states. As JFK�s leading airline, Delta operates nonstop service to more U.S. and international destinations than any other carrier. In total, Delta will offer customers 165 peak day flights to 69 worldwide destinations by December, including new nonstop service to 10 international destinations and more than a dozen new domestic destinations beginning this summer. Most recently, Delta inaugurated the only nonstop service offered by a U.S. carrier between New York and Kiev, Ukraine and on June 16 added its first nonstop service from New York to South America with daily flights between JFK and Sao Paulo, Brazil. To support the continued growth of the JFK hub, Delta is investing in more than $20 million in renovations to its Terminal 2 and 3 facilities at JFK. Refurbishments under way include the addition of a new, dedicated BusinessElite check-in area in Terminal 2, refurbishing the customs and immigrations entrance, refreshing facilities in Delta�s BusinessElite lounge and Crown Room Clubs, and adding new international check-in kiosks throughout the facility. Delta Air Lines (Other OTC: DALRQ) offers customers service to more destinations than any other global airline with Delta and Delta Connection carrier service to more than 290 destinations in 47 countries.

To celebrate the new service, Delta is offering special low introductory fares to invite customers to try its newest international routes. Fares between New York and Mumbai are as low as $449 one way for travel between Nov. 1, 2006 and March 31, 2007, while fares between New York and Accra are as low as $399 one way for travel between Dec. 11, 2006 and March 31, 2007. All fares are based on a round-trip purchase and additional taxes/fees/restrictions apply. Fares shown are available only for purchase on delta.com or from a travel agent.

See below for important details.

For customers traveling to the United States from India or Ghana, Delta�s new service will provide convenient onward connecting opportunities thanks to the continued growth of the airline�s domestic hub at JFK. By October, Delta will double to 140 the number of domestic departures from JFK, up from 70 in May. This growth includes new or expanded nonstop service to key U.S. destinations such as Boston, Columbus, Ohio, Detroit, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, San Diego and Washington, D.C. Additionally, with the July schedule, Delta will be the only airline to operate service to all 50 states.

As JFK�s leading airline, Delta operates nonstop service to more U.S. and international destinations than any other carrier. In total, Delta will offer customers 165 peak day flights to 69 worldwide destinations by December, including new nonstop service to 10 international destinations and more than a dozen new domestic destinations beginning this summer. Most recently, Delta inaugurated the only nonstop service offered by a U.S. carrier between New York and Kiev, Ukraine and on June 16 added its first nonstop service from New York to South America with daily flights between JFK and Sao Paulo, Brazil.

To support the continued growth of the JFK hub, Delta is investing in more than $20 million in renovations to its Terminal 2 and 3 facilities at JFK. Refurbishments under way include the addition of a new, dedicated BusinessElite check-in area in Terminal 2, refurbishing the customs and immigrations entrance, refreshing facilities in Delta�s BusinessElite lounge and Crown Room Clubs, and adding new international check-in kiosks throughout the facility.

Delta Air Lines (Other OTC: DALRQ) offers customers service to more destinations than any other global airline with Delta and Delta Connection carrier service to more than 290 destinations in 47 countries. With more than 50 new international routes added in the last year, Delta is America�s fastest growing international airline and is the world�s leading carrier between the United States and Europe with flights to 29 trans-Atlantic destinations. To Latin America, Delta offers nearly 500 weekly flights to 47 destinations and is quickly becoming the second-largest carrier in the region. Delta's marketing alliances also allow customers to earn and redeem SkyMiles on more than 14,000 flights offered by SkyTeam and other partners. Delta is a founding member of SkyTeam, a global airline alliance that provides customers with extensive worldwide destinations, flights and services. Including its SkyTeam partners, Delta offers flights to 460 worldwide destinations in 97 countries.

"We have time to address their concerns," Republican leaders said in a joint statement. "Therefore, the House Republican Leadership will offer members the time needed to evaluate the legislation." It was unclear whether the legislation would come up this year.

The statement said the GOP leaders are committed to renewing the law "as soon as possible." The four-decade-old law enfranchised millions of black voters by ending poll taxes and literacy tests during the height of the civil rights struggle. A vote on renewing it for another 25 years had been scheduled for Wednesday, with both Republican and Democratic leaders behind it. The dramatic shift came after a private caucus meeting earlier Wednesday in which several Republicans also balked at extending provisions in the law that require ballots to be printed in more than one language in neighborhoods where there are large numbers of immigrants, said several participants. 'A majority of the majority' required "The speaker's had a standing rule that nothing would be voted on unless there's a majority of the majority," said Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, R-Georgia, who led the objections. "It was pretty clear at the meeting that the majority of the majority wasn't there." The legislation was approved by the Judiciary Committee on a 33-1 vote. But despite leadership support, controversy has shadowed the legislation 40 years after it first prohibited policies that blocked blacks from voting. Several Republicans, led by Westmoreland, had worked to allow an amendment that would ease a requirement that nine states win permission from the Justice Department or a federal judge to change their voting rules. The amendment's backers say the requirement unfairly singles out and holds accountable nine states that practiced racist voting policies decades ago, based on 1964 voter turnout data: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. Westmoreland says the formula for deciding which states are subject to such "pre-clearance" should be updated every four years and be based on voter turnout in the most recent three elections. "The pre-clearance portions of the Voting Rights Act should apply to all states, or no states," Westmoreland said. "Singling out certain states for special scrutiny no longer makes sense." Bipartisan opposition to amendment The amendment has powerful opponents. From Republican and Democratic leaders on down the House hierarchy, they argue that states with documented histories of discrimination may still practice it and have earned the extra scrutiny. "This carefully crafted legislation should remain clean and unamended," Rep.

By his own estimation, Westmoreland says the amendment stands little chance of being adopted. The House also could bring up an amendment that would require the Justice Department to compile an annual list of jurisdictions eligible for a "bailout" from the pre-clearance requirements.

Cameroon girls battle 'breast ironing'

By Randy Joe Sa'ah
BBC News, Yaounde

The campaign hopes to spare girls physical and emotional pain

A nationwide campaign is under way in Cameroon to discourage the widespread practice of "breast ironing".
This involves pounding and massaging the developing breasts of young girls with hot objects to try to make them disappear.
Statistics show that 26% of Cameroonian girls at puberty undergo it, as many mothers believe it protects their daughters from the sexual advances of boys and men who think children are ripe for sex once their breasts begin to grow.
The most widely used instrument to flatten the breasts is a wooden pestle, used for pounding tubers in the kitchen. Heated bananas and coconut shells are also used.
Student Geraldin Sirri recounted her painful experience.

I wanted to go to school like other girls who had no breasts

Emilia

"My mother took a pestle, she warmed it well in the fire and then she used it to pound my breasts while I was lying down. She took the back of a coconut, warmed it in the fire and used it to iron the breasts.

"I was crying and trembling to escape but there was no way."
Another woman from Mamfe in south-west Cameroon told me she ironed her own breasts as a girl so that she would not be forced into early marriage as is the practice in her village.
"I wanted to go to school like other girls who had no breasts," Emilia said.
'No regrets'
Many mothers have no regrets about ironing their daughter's breasts.

Most tools are warmed before pounding the girls' chests

"Breast ironing is not a new thing. I am happy I protected my daughter. I could not stand the thought of boys spoiling her with sex before she completed school," one woman explained.
"Unfortunately, television is encouraging all sorts of sexual immorality in our children."
Anthropologist Dr Flavien Ndonko says that breast ironing is not an effective method of preventing early sex and pregnancies because many of the girls still become pregnant. He recommends plain talking between parents and their daughters.
"What you have to really do is talk about the issue of sexual reproductive health with the child. So that she is aware about what it means growing up and having breasts or having periods," he says.
With the help of sponsors, a group of teenage girls called the Association of Aunties has produced a television campaign to expose the problems of breast ironing.
"Massaging the breasts of young girls is very dangerous. This is harmful to health... Do not force them to disappear or appear - allow them to grow naturally," one of the adverts says.
Prison
So far, no research has taken place on the medical effects of breast ironing.

If you use very hot objects, if you pound on the breast at this tender age when the structures are developing of course you could cause damage

Prof Anderson Doh

However, Prof Anderson Doh, a cancer surgeon and director of the state-owned Gynaecological Hospital in Cameroon's capital, Yaounde, says the practice is dangerous.
"There are structures in the breast made of connective tissue. Now if you over iron the breast, if you use very hot objects, if you pound on the breast at this tender age when the structures are developing of course you could also cause damage," he says.
The victims do have protection under the law, as long as the matter is reported within a few months, lawyer Buba Ndefiembu says.
If a medical doctor determines that damage has been caused to the breasts, then the person responsible can go to jail for up to three years.
This does not always deter mothers who see their daughters hitting puberty earlier and earlier thanks to better living standards.
But the Association of Aunties hopes their campaign will start to change attitudes and spare other girls future physical and emotional pain.

Ghanaians ecstatic over World Cup win

By Kwaku Sakyi-Addo
BBC News, Accra

Ghanaians rejoice in the streets at their football team's success

It felt as though the entire population of Accra emptied onto the streets on Thursday afternoon, as Ghana exploded in ecstasy after qualifying for the second round of the World Cup.

It was the four-times African champions' first appearance at the tournament after decades of trying.

Men, women and children screamed and screamed and screamed and no words emerged. They just screamed and kept screaming.

Several groups of youths ran up and down the 1km length of Oxford Street - one of the main shopping streets in the south of the capital, blocking traffic - but no one complained.

Motorists tooted ceaselessly as their vehicles hurtled on Ring Road, the city's main dual carriageway. Passengers hung perilously from the windows of cars.

The streets were flooded with the national colours of red, gold and green. People were draped in them, cars flew them and lamp-posts held them aloft.

To call it a carnival does not quite capture the atmosphere.

Offices were abandoned and even President John Kufuor took a break from less-pressing duties and watched the entire match at his office, sharing a drink with close staffers at the end.

'Appiah's child'

"I think I'm going to die. I want to die. I'm ready to dieeee!" a young taxi driver shouted as he leapt out of his car, abandoned it in the middle of the road and ran in circles.

"I am proud to be Ghanaian! This is a good time to be Ghanaian," yelled a bespectacled man.

"Obiaa nye obiaa," he said - "We're all the same."

First-timers Ghana went into the World Cup far from favourites among the African countries to advance, given their dismal performance at the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt in January and the 'Group of Death' it found itself in at the tournament. Ivory Coast (Cote d'Ivoire) had been the toast of the continent, with their brilliant individual players led by Didier Drogba, and had been given an outside chance to squeeze through in a group that included the Netherlands, Argentina and Serbia-Montenegro. Where Ivory Coast failed, Togo were consumed by a serious internal squabble over money, Angola showed inexperience and Tunisia wilted. It was Ghana's 'Black Stars' who shone. Ghana recovered from a 2-0 loss to Italy to beat the Czech Republic 2-0 and USA 2-1, to emerge as the sole African country to reach the knockout round. All the African teams, apart from Tunisia, were appearing for the first time and had their baptism of fire on the big stage, although Angola and Ivory Coast were clearly not disgraced. But Africans had put a lot of hope in them, given the maiden performances of Cameroon, Nigeria and Senegal in previous tournaments. Now it's Ghana getting all the praise. Confederation of African Football President Issa Hayatou must have carried the support of the continent to the Ghana side when he visited them at their training camp. Benin President Yayi Boni, ending a two-day visit to Ghana, also praised the team, while Ghana President John Agyekum Kufuor has been loudly cheering his boys, telling them to be afraid of no one. 'Those who you will play against are not superhuman beings. Boot for boot, you are better than some of them,' said Kufuor. Liberian President Ellen Sirleaf-Johnson speaks for millions of Africans with her decision to take Tuesday off in order to cheer the Black Stars on. 'I had the opportunity to speak to President Kufuor on Friday and thanked him for the support we have received from Ghana and also congratulate him on the impressive performance,' she said. 'Normally, I'm not a person to take the day off from work, but on Tuesday when Ghana plays Brazil, I am going to close down the office and watch the game,' the Ghana News agency quoted Sirleaf-Johnson as telling a delegation that went to Monrovia for a ground-breaking ceremony to restore electricity to the country. Liberians have been backing Ghana - after all, thousands of them lived in Ghana for years during the 15-year bloody civil war that rocked the country. The Nigerians, although traditional soccer rivals, have also been cheering the Ghanaians. For the latest in news visit http://indiaenews.com � Copyright 2006 India eNews Pvt. Ltd.

Hassan Dahir Aweys was named head of the Council of the Islamic Courts, a newly formed Parliament for the Sharia courts that defeated Mogadishu's secular warlords on June 5. Previously, the public face of the Islamists had been Sharif Ahmed, a more moderate sheik who had spoken of his desire to work with the West. Aweys is a former Somali Army colonel who was vice chairman of Al Itihad, a Islamic group that Washington labeled a terrorist group in the weeks after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Aweys, 71, who sports a bushy beard that he dyes bright red with henna in the traditional Somali way, was similarly cited for links to terrorism and banned from visiting the United States. No evidence to back up the claim was given at the time. Although a reclusive man, Aweys has spoken to reporters in recent months, disavowing links with terrorism and accusing the West of being too quick to label Islamist leaders as extremists. Still, Aweys, who comes from the powerful Ayr clan, has told his followers that God would forgive them for spilling the blood of any foreign peacekeepers who set foot on Somali soil. He has also accused Somalis who hand over their countrymen to American officials in exchange for cash of "selling us to the Jews." The appointment of Aweys to head an 88-member council took place Saturday night at a meeting of Islamic leaders in Mogadishu. The gathering came just days after a delegation of Islamists had agreed to recognize, and work with, the secular government that was formed in 2004 after long negotiations involving all of the country's clans.

Militant leader emerges in Somalia

By Marc Lacey
The New York Times
MONDAY, JUNE 26, 2006

NAIROBI: The jockeying for power inside Somalia took a potentially ominous turn for the United States over the weekend as a hard-line Muslim sheik whom the Bush administration has linked with terrorism emerged as the leader of the militants who seized control of Mogadishu this month.

Hassan Dahir Aweys was named head of the Council of the Islamic Courts, a newly formed Parliament for the Sharia courts that defeated Mogadishu's secular warlords on June 5. Previously, the public face of the Islamists had been Sharif Ahmed, a more moderate sheik who had spoken of his desire to work with the West.

Aweys is a former Somali Army colonel who was vice chairman of Al Itihad, a Islamic group that Washington labeled a terrorist group in the weeks after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Aweys, 71, who sports a bushy beard that he dyes bright red with henna in the traditional Somali way, was similarly cited for links to terrorism and banned from visiting the United States. No evidence to back up the claim was given at the time.

Although a reclusive man, Aweys has spoken to reporters in recent months, disavowing links with terrorism and accusing the West of being too quick to label Islamist leaders as extremists. Still, Aweys, who comes from the powerful Ayr clan, has told his followers that God would forgive them for spilling the blood of any foreign peacekeepers who set foot on Somali soil. He has also accused Somalis who hand over their countrymen to American officials in exchange for cash of "selling us to the Jews."

The appointment of Aweys to head an 88-member council took place Saturday night at a meeting of Islamic leaders in Mogadishu. The gathering came just days after a delegation of Islamists had agreed to recognize, and work with, the secular government that was formed in 2004 after long negotiations involving all of the country's clans. That United Nations-backed government, now based outside the capital in the town of Baidoa, is struggling to gain a foothold.

Aweys is an avowed critic of the secular government and a long-time foe of its president, Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed. Aweys has repeatedly declared that an Islamic state is the only answer for Somalia. Aweys and Yusef fought each other in the 1990s and those who know them said the enmity remained.

The Black Stars played agains Brazil and came out unbeatable. Brazil was offside on two of the goals. 2. The Black Stars found themselves playing against the Referee, a game they did not expect and of course, didn't prepare for. This one is tough to win. Did you see the Referee's hanshake to Ronaldinho during the game? Hmmm! Everytime this happens to an African team in the World Cup (you know this is not the first time,) one wonders if the FIFA powers that be did not rule out certain regions from the finals before the games even took off. This makes me more proud of the Black Stars. They gave one of the best World Cup performance ever from beginning to end, despite the Referee's attempts to break their morale. Their attitude is one for many athletes (and other people for that matter) to model after. My hat is off to them. Ghana should receive them back home as champions. We look forward seeing these stellar football players to 2010. --Emilie p.s.

COULD THIS BE TRUE?

Know something interesting about FIFA World Cup

Brazil won the world cup in 1994. Before that, he had won this title for the last time in 1970.

If you add up: 1970 + 1994 = 3964

Argentina won the world cup for the last time in 1986. Before that only in 1978.

And 1978 + 1986 = 3964

Germany , though, won the world cup in 1990. Before that, Germany won in 1974.

Look: 1990 + 1974 = 3964

This could lead us to guess the winner of the World Cup in 2002, since it should be the winner

of the 1962 World Cup (In fact 3964 - 2002 = 1962).

And Brazil won the world cup in 1962! (And, in fact, Brazil won the 2002 WC)

This numerology seems to work...

And now, who would be the winner of the 2006 world cup?

Let's see, 3964 - 2006 = 1958

And who won in 1958?....

Oh, Brazil did!!!

Lets see then.. if this proves to be Right.
