"Death is a big story; live is not". This is the type of argument we often hear in contemporary newsrooms, which reflects how deeply conscientiously or not we are all caught in a lime of cynicism. Real life is often at odds with the show we want audiences to think it is. Real life is rather a problem-solution game in which we are all real actors. This column publishes real life issues and solutions you bring forward to share with the other readers of TAI. Reader?s feedback is what keeps the column alive and is very welcome.

Corruption, persecution, intimidation, torture, elimination, prosecution and silencing of opponents and deviants, mainly journalists who criticize the neocolonial dictatorship, are all means of terror that Paul Biya utilizes to maintain his clan in power. After having weakened the opposition parties mainly by corrupting their leaders and prosecuting independent journalists, the same strategy is applied to the SCNC, an independence movement that claims part of Cameroon’s land. It is all the more easy for the Biya regime to weaken the SCNC since the Council’s claims are not free of flaws, notably its independence based upon the British cultural inheritance, not upon any African culture, and its economic independence based upon the South-Western oil-rich area while oil is more of a curse than a manna for African populations. These are factors to bear in mind in order to understand the following story by Postwatch magazine.

The opposite picture is a handout picture made available by the U.S. Army. It shows an American helicopter-propelled bomb rocking the hideout of Uday and Qusay in Mossul, Iraq, on Tuesday 22. 2003. American troops that had surrounded the building were just onlookers, putting their fingers in their ears because of the explosion, apparently facing no threat at all from the building.
It is doubtful that they tried to negotiate the victims? surrender, since their Commander In-Chief wanted Saddam?s sons ?dead or alive?. The picture shows a clear and unquestionable public murder, not a war battle.
STAYING ON THE RADAR SCREEN
Colonialism justified its barbaric slavery system by the proclaimed noble ambition to liberate and civilize (westernize) the occupied and subjected people. The current White House justifies its barbaric empire building ventures by the proclaimed noble ambition to bring freedom and democracy to the oppressed in targeted countries. Yet in the U.S. homeland the individual is still to be freed from the domination of the wealthy and powerful.
"There were students inside banging on the glass, calling for help", he said. "I took a close shot of the hands banging on the glass, and then their hands just went down the glass, sliding like that, and they were gone."
The university, which now has 12,000 students, opened as Patrice Lumumba University in 1960 to serve students from countries the Soviet Union supported in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Although the fire is officially described as an accident, most minority students are convinced that it was arson. They say that for weeks, both before and after the fire, bomb threats forced students into the cold streets during the class day or in the middle of the night.
