ANNOUNCMENTS
Webinar: When Repression Backfires, ICNC, February 18, 2010
Join us for a Webinar on February 18 where Dr. Les Kurtz, professor of Sociology at George Mason University and author/editor of several books including, "The Encyclopedia of Violence, Peace, and Conflict," will explore the "paradox of repression," - efforts by elites to repress a movement that often end up strengthening a civil resistance movement rather than weakening it. Examining key historic cases of "repression management" by organizers, he will show how repression can erode a regime's pillars of support, promote questions if not outright defections among power elites, and often become a turning point in leading toward a movement's success.

Sudan is preparing for what could be its first fully multiparty presidential and legislative elections in almost a quarter of a century, now just two months away in April.

Although Botswana's High Court ruled that the Bushmen had been evicted from their ancestral lands in the reserve illegally, the government is trying to make life impossible for those Bushmen who want to return.

By: Jesse Walker, The Reason, February 11, 2010

By: Dennis Sammut, Georgian Daily, February 11, 2010

By: Oleksandr Sushko, Open Democracy, February 10, 2010
Ukraine is a diverse nation with a strong civil society. This could restrain a potentially authoritarian political leadership. The "Orange" leaders may have lost the election, but a limited mandate means the new president will have to make concessions and Ukraine has a chance of remaining democratic and, therefore, on the European track, believes Oleksandr Sushko.

The barricades to freedom in Iran
By: Azadeh Moaveni, Daily Beast, February 12, 2010

Iran on the brink
By: Melik Kaylan, Forbes, February 12, 2010
Iran's turning point might come this week or in a month when the Nawrouz (Iranian new year) celebrations kick in, and no amount of nuclear enrichment claims will change things in the long run. On Bahman or Revolution Day (Feb. 11) the regime appeared to have won the numbers game against protesters, having bribed and bused in street-loads of pro-government supporters and stifled opposition turnout.

Iran on 22 Bahman: Ahmadinejad "wins ugly"
By: Scott Lucas, Enduring America, February 11, 2010
I guess it was inevitable that - to post a dramatic headline or to make artificial sense out of the complex and messy politics of events - the open-and-shut, Victory-or-Defeat results would already be declared. Britain's Sky TV, known best for its across-the-wall sports coverage, puts the onus of loser on the opposition: "The danger for Iran's anti-Government Green movement is that after yet again failing to mobilise huge numbers on a key day, it will lose momentum....The Government looks to have maintained its firm grip on the country."

Iran's anniversary: The opposition tries to thwart a crackdown
By: Andrew Lee Butters, The Time, February 10, 2010
Thirty-one years since the downfall of the U.S.-supported Iranian dictatorship of Shah Reza Pahlavi, the Islamic Republic has developed a formula for celebrating the anniversary of the revolution. The government buses in massive crowds from all over the country, who then parade down Tehran's avenues, which are decorated with patriotic-themed paintings by schoolchildren, while crack military units perform maneuvers and politicians make rousing speeches laced with anti-American rhetoric. But this year, Iran's opposition movement wants to change the script.
Iran, beacon of liberty?
By: Reuel Marc Gerecht, NY Times, February 10, 2010
On Thursday, the birthday of the Islamic Republic of Iran, we will see whether the democratic opposition movement has been driven underground by the increasingly brutal harassment from the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Israeli attempts to silence Palestinian nonviolent movement on the rise
By: Heidi Schramm, Palestine Note, February 10, 2010
When asked was why the United States had not condemned Israeli and Egyptian human rights violations in the occupied Palestinian territories, the president responded by reiterating his commitment to a two-state solution, and then saying, "As a first step, the Palestinians have to unequivocally renounce violence." The implication of his statement is that Palestinians are unwilling to renounce violence. Unfortunately this sentiment has long been a part of the American approach to Israel and the Palestinians; but, at a time when the vast majority of the Palestinian movement for freedom consists of nonviolence, it is not where American policy toward Palestine should begin.
Iranian revolution: Post-election unrest reveals cracks in the Republic
By: Golnaz Esfandiari, RFE, February 10, 2010
As the Islamic republic prepares to celebrate its 31st anniversary on February 11, many Iranians -- including former revolutionaries -- are coming around to the idea that their revolution has failed. And, as the country's Green Movement prepares to use the occasion to continue the protests they began after the country's contentious presidential election in June, the prospect of renewed violence by the state against its citizens could further the idea that the Islamic republic has essentially devolved into a dictatorship.
On eve of Iran anniversary, talk of compromise
By: Scott Peterson, Christian Science Monitor, February 9, 2010
As Iranians now brace for the 31st anniversary of the 1979 Islamic revolution, they know that eight months of pro-democracy protest and the regime's violent reaction have transformed the relationship between rulers and ruled. Analysts say that Iran's legitimacy crisis has now come to a head, with both sides incapable of defeating or intimidating the other - a paralysis that could continue, or yield compromise.
Iran's revolution devoured by its own children
By: Saba Farzan, WSJ, February 9, 2010
"We were born during the war with Iraq, when there was not enough milk powder for us as babies; when we finished high school, the Basij, the regime's paramilitary thugs, received preferential admission to the universities; when we graduated there were no jobs for us in this ruined economy and when we fall in love, we are not even allowed to hold each other's hands in public." This is how young Iranians born into the country's clerical dictatorship tend to recount their bitter lives. Without ever having experienced what freedom in all its facets means, the world somehow expected these young people would silently continue their suffering under this regime for the rest of their lives.

Uzbekistan: Officials see slander in Uzbek photos, but artists see censorship
By: Ellen Barry, NY Times, February 11, 2010
How can a photographer defame her country? Uzbekistan tried to answer that question this week in a slander trial that harked back to the days of Soviet censorship. The answer, in part: by showing people with sour expressions or bowed heads, children in ragged clothing, old people begging for change or other images so dreary that, according to a panel of experts convened by the prosecutors, "a foreigner unfamiliar with Uzbekistan will conclude that this is a country where people live in the Middle Ages."

Bangladesh: A quest for justice
By: Jalal Alamgir and Tazreena Sajjad, Open Democracy, February 9, 2010
If asked to identify the five most known 20th-century genocides, most informed citizens would probably start with the Nazi holocaust and go on to name Cambodia, Rwanda, Armenia, and Darfur. There is little likelihood that they will include the 1971 genocide in Bangladesh - a tragedy that has become largely invisible in much of the world's public discourse about genocide.
