UNREST: CHINA

More trouble lies ahead in China as scores die after clashes between ethic groups in Xinjiang

There are nearly 8 million Uighurs in the region. “It is component of administrative attempt to attenuate Uighur culture in its homeland. We face oppression on a series of fronts. What more, they have unsuccessfully tried to link us to al-Qaeda,” says Dolkun Isa, Secretary General of World Uighur Congress, while talking to B&E.

This low level separatist movement has indulged in several attacks in recent years and Chinese government accuse that National Endowment for Democracy, an American institution has aided these unrests. The name of the movement had figured in recent Iranian protests as well. In this recent unrest as well, China has accused several Uighur American agencies for inciting passion. The name that has figured more promptly is that of Rabeya Kadeer. Her name first cropped up as an incisive businesswoman and then as an example of inter-ethnic harmony. She owned a chain of departmental stores and was appointed in the national legislative body. But later she fell out with CCP as the latter became apprehensive of her loyalties.She as jailed but was released following international hue and cry. She currently heads World Uighur Congress, an umbrella organisation for various Uighur groups.

Don't look dude, we are changing!

Obama's brigade promises a fresh perspective to the Middle East issue, but is treading on a difficult terrain

With a near thunderbolt pace, American President Barack Obama has transformed the line of US foreign policy in less than a week. After taking the oath to the Oval office, the new President made it clear that America’s aspirations and objectives will be in accordance with its ideals and the rule of law. By saying “we have no time to lose,” Obama summarised in a curt reply how pressing he deems it to bolster American foreign relations. In the first two days, the new-fangled government has been taking actions at a pace that were unheard and unseen in the previous administration. Giving orders from the White House and State Department headquarters, Obama pronounced the shutting down of the Guantanamo Bay confinement centre in Cuba; the selection of two extraordinary diplomatic envoys to aid in achieving Arab-Israeli amity; the issues in Afghanistan and Pakistan are also being addressed. However, some experts believe that the Guantanamo step has been taken in haste. Reacting on the decision, Michael Scheuer, a previous CIA agent and an old hand on al-Qaeda told B&E, “It is pretty unclear what will happen to the detainees. I don't make out where they would be taken. We have two choices with us. Either we can gun them down in the combat zone or treat them as POWs and discharge them when the conflict is over; so possibly never!”

Meanwhile, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared that ex-Senator George Mitchell would join the Obama bandwagon as a special envoy for the Middle East peace process, particularly the resolution of Arab-Israeli issues.
