Authorities have cut off internet communication in Iraq amid protests about corruption and unemployment. Seven more people were killed amid riots yesterday, according to Iraqi sources. Thousands of young people said to be outraged at the lack of public services and poor job prospects in the oil rich country, turned out:
The Iraqi monarchy was overthrown in 1958. Iraq was controlled by the Arab socialist Ba’ath party from 1968 until 2003. The coalition provisional authority was established following the invasion of the country by the US and UK. The un security council resolution 1483 recalled all previous resolutions excluding an arms trade embargo. It lifted trade sanctions and terminated an oil for food program which began in 1995.
The office for construction and humanitarian assistance was established in 2003, two months before the invasion. Retired US army lieutenant general Jay Garner was director along with three deputies including British major general Tim Cross. Upon dissolution of the OCHA Tim Cross became the first chief executive of the coalition provisional authority. Gardner’s swift dismissal may be attributed by some to be connected to a statement concerning Iraqi sovereignty.
A new government of western delegates has proved unpopular. Middle east academics are said to have had marginal influence in Iraq compared to the American enterprise institute. The press, in particular the Washington post has been criticised for its support of western interests. Public opinion may disagree.

Fourteen people were killed on Friday, reportedly tourists who were visiting the Rwandan great lakes region which is known for its mountain gorillas. The attack has been blamed on local people who were searching for food. They have been shot according to Arab sources:
The so called Rwandan genocide occurred between April and July
1994 and is described as the mass slaughter of the Tutsi and Twa people of Rwanda and blamed on Huti extremism but according to Arab sources it was an economic war. Rwanda has a colonial past. The German and Belgian sponsored Tutsi monarchy lasted until 1959. The present king of Rwanda lives in exile in Manchester.
It is not known how bad things are in Rwanda, officially the republic of Rwanda or what the water situation is like. There are current concerns however about an ebola epidemic in the neighbouring Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Parliamentary elections take place in Portugal today. Unlike other countries supposedly, the president has the power to appoint a prime minister and dissolve parliament. Is he a delegate?
Since 1974, the political scene In Portugal has been dominated by the socialist party and the social democratic party but have been criticised for not being what they seem.
The president of Portugal since 2016 is Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa. A presidencial system took over from the monarchy in 1910.
In 1995, Portugal was involved in Schengen area politics and was one of the founding members of the euro and eurozone. In 2004, the prime minister of Portugal became president of the european commission, the executive branch of the eu.
The treaty of Lisbon was signed in the Jeronimos Monastry in Lisbon in 2007 by member states. It was also known as the reform treaty; reforming as it did, all previous eu treaties. Ireland was the only country to hold a referendum about whether to sign, but a no vote was not substantiated by the taoiseach who called for a second referendum. The president of Ireland signed the reform treaty into law in 2009.
The treaty marked the end of negotiations that began in 2001 and has many amendments. Human rights and banking legislation in particular have suffered, making the treaty unpopular. This with particular regard to the seizing, freezing and blocking of assets.
The treaty was signed by the queen and the UK foreign secretary. The ratification of the treaty by Gordon Brown and the member states has been described as a gross impertinence and absolutely atrocious behaviour.

According to news, Britain are insisting on a deal before they leave the EU and the British prime minister is suffering various allegations from distant past and being generally scape goated by the media for seemingly not seeing this as practical.
Might be the UK want to avoid tariffs that apply to any goods crossing eu external borders but It is supposed that the customs union falls under the umbrella of the world trade organization. The WTO constructs sanctions for any country that might oppose autocracy.
Is it feasible for the eu to continue to allow the UK to dominate the customs union?

In these days of autocracy it’s sometimes difficult to believe trumped up charges, but with regard to Israel, didn’t the Blue and White party win the election? It seems autocracy disagrees. Likewise Brexit and the insistence on a deal even though the UK are leaving the European union, therefore is a deal appropriate?

What does the UK mean when they continually talk about leaving the eu with a deal? This amounts to special concessions but on what basis?
A system of autocracy is unfair. Rules have to be uniform allowing for all European communities to be substantiated in turn; for instance making funds available to Greece who have accommodated so many refugees.

The good friday agreement, otherwise known as the Belfast agreement has been described as a truce, but are republicans represented? In a climate where people are often compelled to pay lip service to beurocracy, it’s hard to say. For instance, republicans overwhelmingly abstained from voting in a referendum in 1973 on whether Ireland should join Eire or remain part of the UK. The reason why is unknown.
A census in Northern Ireland is planned for 2020, and news of the changing demography of northern Ireland may sound ominous for those with experience of British beurocracy, which isn’t culturally sensitive. In other words, possible reprisals for those who identify themselves as republicans.
In 1972 there was a well planned human rights march which was to end with TV coverage. According to British reports, orders were not to let activists gain access to the media at any cost. Reprisals were that twenty eight people were shot that day and fourteen people died.

The term ecumenical is of Greek origin meaning universal, as does the term catholic. The idea of ecumenicalism has been around ever since Martin Luther and the catholic protestant divide. It is reported to have begun proper during the 1930’s. In recent times it has occasionally been associated with megachurches, particularly in the colonies. In South Africa, there was a trend of a white south African ritually washing the feet of indigenous members of the congregation. This symbolism didn’t really take off.
Ecumenicalism, in the mind of a lot of people, equates to multi-denominational services in the interest of friendship. This is not the case anymore.
On 13th October John Henry Newman will be declared a saint by Pope Francis. Newman (1801-1890) was a prominent figure in a movement which was instigated by the hierarchy of the church of England. It developed into Anglo-catholicism.
Edward Bouverie Pusey (1800-1882) who was educated at Eton, was another prominent figure. He worked in Japan and, according to reports, was imprisoned following the nuclear attack on Hiroshima.
Newman was a church of England priest who some believe infiltrated the Catholic church. He was reported to have joined the Jesuits. The Jesuits have been the subject of controversy. In 1590, Pope Sixtus V wanted to exclude Jesus from the official name of the society. Although Jesuits agreed, Sixtus died unexpectedly before his wish could be carried out. The society was suppressed in 1814 by Pope Pius VII but is said to have taken off in all areas since.

When present day Pakistan was formed in 1947 it was known as west Pakistan. Two thousand kilometres east is present day Bangladesh, formerly east Pakistan (formerly east Bengal). For 23 years, two states constituted Pakistan, but appear to have little in common, besides religion reportedly.
The partition of India and Pakistan was masterminded by the British. It is called the 3 June plan.
Colonial rule in India may have begun with control of the affluent region of Bengal. Wealthy landowners were relocated, leaving their property behind. According to British sources, properties were leased to poor Muslims who were unable to pay.
During British rule, millions of people were displaced and there were many uprisings leading to millions of deaths.

Today marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Mahatma Ghandi, the Indian lawyer who suffered discrimination and led peaceful protests against British occupation in India. Gandhi was assassinated in New Delhi in 1948 which is reported to be connected to the creation of the state of Pakistan, although Ghandi, according to some sources, was very disappointed in partition as a response to conflict in India at the time.
The partition of India and Pakistan
In 1947 created a forced refugee crisis. This coincided with the integration of princely states into either India or Pakistan.
In 1905 under British crown rule, Bengal was partitioned, east Bengal being refuge for Muslims. This resulted in Hindus having to leave their land. There was bombing of public buildings in protest, and unrest, according to some reports, led to Muslims liaising with British gentry with ideas of political identity:
Arab traders are said to have been visitors in India from ancient times. Arab conquests, which are logged from the 8th Century onwards, may have begun in Bengal. There was controversy as Buddhism gave way to Islam following the demolition of Budhist temples. Proselytizing had a varying success rate. Muslims make up fourteen percent or so of the population of India and are mainly Sunni.
Reasons for the creation of the state of Pakistan have been blamed on the Indian rebellion of 1857 and the second Anglo-Afghan war. The British commissioned Cyril Radcliffe to demark the border.
In 2004, the Pakistani army launched a pursuit of Al-Qaeda members on the border with Afghanistan. The conflict is ongoing. According to official sources, Pakistan hasn’t witnessed such a devastating social and economic upheaval since the India Pakistan war in 1970. This resulted in East Pakistan becoming the People’s Republic of Bangladesh.
