Eilt, ihr angefochtnen Seelen,
geht aus euren Marterhöhlen,
eilt - Wohin? - nach Golgatha.
Nehmet an des Glaubens Flügel,
flieht - Wohin? - zum Kreuzeshügel,
eure Wohlfahrt blüht allda.

Gesegnete Ostern
Blessed Easter

Indonesia's E Timor abuses listed

A report into Indonesia's conduct during its 24-year annexation of East Timor says that as many as 180,000 civilians died of hunger or illness.

It documents abuses committed by Indonesian security forces, including the use of starvation as a weapon.

A copy of the document has been leaked to The Australian newspaper, which has published extensive details.

The 2,500-page report, produced by the East Timorese Commission for Reception, Truth and Reconciliation, makes profoundly disturbing reading, according to the BBC's Jakarta correspondent, Rachel Harvey.

Based on testimony from thousands of witnesses, the report documents a catalogue of abuses committed by Indonesian security forces.

Starvation, rape, torture and execution-style killings were all used as part of what the report describes as a "systematic plan".

"Rape, sexual slavery and sexual violence were tools used as part of the campaign designed to inflict a deep experience of terror, powerlessness and hopelessness upon pro-independence supporters," the report says, according to The Australian.

Cameroon calls on Milla

Cameroon president Paul Biya has asked former international Roger Milla to raise the flagging morale of the country's Nations Cup squad.

"The president requested me to restore order in the national team," said Milla on Monday.

"I have been designated to be part of the official delegation to Egypt to help boost the morale of our players."

The Indomitable Lions, who failed to qualify for the World Cup finals for the first time since 1986, are still licking their wounds over the failure to reach the mundial.

Anyone know how much the tickets are going for?


Try http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/tickets/index.html or a travel agency.

I'll probably take an Argentina T-shirt and the flag and go to the pub.

Now, some Pakistan child has cause for revenge, a body for a body, a mother for a mother.


Perhaps they can also remember what happened exactly 15 years ago to those 420 civilians, women and children in the al-Amariyya shelter.


An extract from a poem by Pablo Neruda, 'I'm Explaining a Few Things':

And one morning all that was burning,
one morning the bonfires
leapt out of the earth
devouring human beings
and from then on fire,
gunpowder from then on,
and from then on blood.
Bandits with planes and Moors,
bandits with finger-rings and duchesses,
bandits with black friars spattering blessings
came through the sky to kill children
and the blood of children ran through the streets
without fuss, like children's blood.

Jackals that the jackals would despise
stones that the dry thistle would bite on and spit out,
vipers that the vipers would abominate.

Face to face with you I have seen the blood
of Spain tower like a tide
to drown you in one wave
of pride and knives.

Treacherous
generals:
see my dead house,
look at broken Spain:
from every house burning metal flows
instead of flowers
from every socket of Spain
Spain emerges
and from every dead child a rifle with eyes
and from every crime bullets are born
which will one day find
the bull's eye of your hearts.

And you will ask: why doesn't his poetry
speak of dreams and leaves
and the great volcanoes of his native land.

Come and see the blood in the streets.
Come and see
the blood in the streets.
Come and see the blood
in the streets!"

I've heard that the church burning tradition still was very much alive in there during the 90's.
