Star upset with Sapp ‘dirty tactics’ mulls options
By Joe
Fernandez
It appears that ties between the Sabah
chapter of the Borneo-based State Reform Party (Star) and the Sabah Progressive
Party (Sapp) could be “much better” if not for the latter’s insistence on
contesting in 40 state seats and almost a third, about five to seven, of the
parliamentary seats in Sabah. The party reiterated this stand at its meet on
Sun in Kota Kinabalu.
Before
the 40/5-7 Sun announcement by Sapp, Star had been publicly toying with the
“goodwill gesture” of conceding two state seats -- Likas and Luyang -- and one (Tawau)
of the two parliamentary seats it (Sapp) won in 2008 as a member of the ruling
BN. Star itself had announced in mid-April that it would go for all 60 state
seats at stake in Sabah and 26 parliamentary seats including Labuan.
The Last Colony: On The Moroccan Occupation Of Western Sahara
By Malainin Lakhal
The West often portrays itself as the champion of democracy, rule of law and human rights. Yet, when we look at Western Sahara, the hypocrisy and dishonesty in such portrayals are laid bare. The story of Western Sahara – the plight of its people and their struggle for freedom – is willingly and deliberately ignored by Western powers and mainstream international media despite the fact that it is the last colony standing in the African continent.
Western Sahara – bordered by Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania and the Atlantic Ocean – first fell under Spanish rule in 1884, becoming a Spanish province in 1934. In 1975, the colonial master signed an illegal pact – known as the Madrid Agreement – with Morocco and Mauritania abandoning the North African territory to invasions. Following the pact, Morocco and Mauritania moved to annex the territory while Spain ensured its interests in the exploitation of natural resources in the region.
