Namibia's drought is crushing &mdash exports and businesses are shutting down.

Indian soldiers have killed protesters in Kashmir who demand independence for Kashmir.

India promised Kashmir a referendum about being part of India, and then never allowed the referendum to be held.

The dispute about dividing up the South China Sea might be resolved by first asking all the countries involved to agree not to extract any oil from those waters.

This agreement is necessary anyway, to reduce global heating. Once it is made, all the countries will have less interest in how the frontiers are drawn, and they might be able to resolve that dispute.

Ceding to public pressure, the European Commission said it would not try to impose CETA on the EU without getting the approval of national and regional parliaments.

This is a great victory because now it may be possible to kill CETA. CETA is a business-supremacy treaty; its purpose is to give (foreign) businesses more power over every country involved. It therefore represents a betrayal of each and all of the countries that sign it.

US thugs killed 1134 people in 2015. Young black men were 5 times more likely to be killed by thugs than young white men.

I am sure some of those killings were done for valid reasons, but we know racism is part of the cause.
