quoted: The pastoralists, including Bela and Lobko, gathered in Kangaten for four days before reaching a consensus and passed a resolution: any person who steals cattle will double the number given back in reparation and anybody who commits murder will be handed over to the government, with 30 heads of cattle given to the bereaved family. However, despite the agreement, Bela and others felt a real reconciliation between ethnic groups should be made the traditional way.
"The Nyangatoms should come to our village and slaughter a goat," said Bela. "Then we should wash our hands with fat together."

Quoted: Lebanon is a sliver of Mediterranean coast with a population of just four million, but international interest in the election is intense. The USA and Saudi Arabia lead most of the international community in backing Prime Minister Fouad Siniora.
"The USA is interested in Lebanon for several reasons, including keeping Lebanon as a democratic success story and putting pressure on Syria," said Oussama Safa, head of the Lebanese Centre for Policy Studies. "And the US does not want the opposition to get any mileage out of this election, especially Hezbollah."

A great video illustrating how cluster bombs not only have put lives at risk, but the livelyhood of Lebanese. For many Lebanese in southern Lebanon a normal life remains a distant reality.
Quoted: In July 2006, war reared its ugly head once more in Lebanon when Hezbollah fighters stole across the border and kidnapped two Israeli soldiers.
Israel’s response was immediate and furious. Huge amounts of ordnance were dropped on southern Lebanon leaving village after village in ruins. Hezbollah responded by firing hundreds of rockets into civilian areas of northern Israel. But the cruelest legacy of the conflict was the widespread use of cluster bombs by Israel – an estimated one million of which now sit unexploded on the ground, lying in wait for the unsuspecting. Ninety percent of them were dropped in the last 72 hours of the conflict when the ceasefire was imminent. Children in particular are at risk.
