Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Eugene Jackson was 20 years old. He’d lied about his age when he joined the army at 16. His family, I’m sure, got a telegram from the war department, saying he’d died a hero on an important mission that would help win the war. In fact, Eugene lost his life on a stretcher in a dank basement in Haguenau crying out in agony while his friends looked on helplessly. He was just one more causality in a war that was supposed to be all but over.
THE REVOLUTIONARY WOMEN OF LIBYA: Mother and 17 year old daughter who are an example of the masses of Libyan women who have volunteered to take up the government weapons training and government issued weapons on offer and to run one of the very few checkpoints in Tripoli. Masses of women are also fighting on the frontline.
All of this mother’s sons are fighting on the frontline and in tears she explained to us that she would be happy to give her blood to protect her beloved leader Muammar Gaddafi and country who she said has always worked hard for the liberation of Libyan women. She called for death to NATO and told them to face the people on the ground instead of being cowards in the sky. She said every Libyan who dies is her child, that it is why it is her duty to do everything in her power to defend her family, people, leader and country.
The 17 year old sister said Muammar Gaddafi is her father because of all he has done for the liberation of women in Libya. She said her mother brought her up to be strong and stand up for her people.

The description of the video calls it “the torture and humiliation of detainees.” Caveat: I cannot personally verify this video’s validity, but have a general trust of its source.
This Little Life of Mine: Sudan
I have a dear friend named Laura who I met through YWAM. Today I read this note she had posted on Facebook about what is really going on in Sudan. Laura spent some time in Sudan about 4 years ago and she partnered with an organization who recently sent out this update. It’s long, but please read…

Palestinians will mark “Nakba Day” (catastrophe) on May 15 to commemorate the expulsion or fleeing of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes in the war that led to the founding of Israel in 1948.
