Wipe Out Polio, Now

Gms: May 20 (SV), By Ban Ki-moon UN Secretary General

Wild viruses and wildfires have two things in common. If neglected, they can spread out of control. If handled properly, they can be stamped out for good. Today, the flame of polio is near extinction — but sparks in three countries threaten to ignite a global blaze. Now is the moment to act.

Benjamin Netanyahu, ever the master maneuverer, has done it again. Just moments before the Israeli Parliament was to ratify the call for new elections, the Kadima Party announced that it had completed negotiations with the Prime Minister and would join the government producing Israel’s largest governing coalition in history (including 94 of 120 Members of the Knesset). The announcement sent shockwaves throughout the region and here in the US. Speculation was rife about what this sudden move might  mean.

Better Late than Never‏

By Sudan Vision

A very optimistic news article came out in the newspaper last week affirming that Sudan Railways will resume transporting passengers by the end of this year.
We, in Sudan Vision, called for Sudan Railways Corporation rehabilitation in several editorials and columns, to the extent that we proposed postponing all the government investment projects and transform its funding to rehabilitate Sudan Railways.

SMS :Natsios’ Call!

Former US special envoy to Sudan (Andrew Natsios) called recently on US administration to arm ROSS in its war against Sudan. I think this call was not strange; it is part and parcel of Washington’s policies towards Sudan since the breakout of the rebellion in south Sudan. SPLM since 1983 was receiving all kinds of supports throughout the years of its war against the successive governments in Sudan. SPLM received huge logistic, propaganda, diplomatic, political, and media support. I think [...]

Capital as Power: A Study of Order and Creorder

by Jonathan Nitzan, Shimshon Bichler

Conventional theories of capitalism are mired in a deep crisis: after centuries of debate, they are still unable to tell us what capital is. Liberals and Marxists both think of capital as an ‘economic’ entity that they count in universal units of ‘utils’ or ‘abstract labour’, respectively. But these units are totally fictitious. Nobody has ever been able to observe or measure them, and for a good reason: they don’t exist. Since liberalism and Marxism depend [...]
