In addition to the support faxes, the relief effort in Somalia of
course needs all the money it can get.  I heard a report last night
that American contributions to the effort in Somalia were on the order
of only 1% of those made during the Ethiopian famine that attracted
attention from all the rock stars.

Americans can send checks, marked clearly for "Somalia", to

I am utterly amazed. Only TWO people e-mailed me
about my naughty bad-boy behaviour. 

I am not a Nazi, I am a Sagittarius, the sign that
represents the strongest Spirituality. And indeed I
recognise the primacy of the Spiritual in War with
the Barbaric elements in our society. Few people 
know what a deadly brew fascism and communism 
produce, hence my metaphorical illustration of
fascism (racism in its most primitive form) and examination
of the communist manifesto. My point is simply that
new political solutions must be thought out that
can settle these diverse political ideologies (for
those not in the know, all other ideologies spring
from these two extremes but in milder form). I believe
a new system must be thought out that allows as much
freedom for the INDIVIDUAL as possible and as little
written law as possible. Which is why I so intensely
resent people trying to restrict my freedom of speech
that I am prepared to go to jail for it.

THE EXTREME LEFT
"We will necklace them !!!! Forward with the REVOLUTION!!
 DESTROY EVERYTHING!!!!!!"

THE EXTREME RIGHT
"Sing kunts sing. Poggenpoel lees.
 Ons lees uit die Bybel, die boek van ZARATU .. TU... TU...

If anyone has any ideas beyond the mindless snivelling over
what the press last wrote, let me know.

Not quite, but there are certainly some similarities.

I think you have put Mandela on too high of a pedestal, and are
under estimating President De Klerk.  The worst mistake which can be
made at this point is to under estimate the far right.  I feel it is
safe to say there are some similarities, but not many.

Title: SOMALIA: AIRLIFT OF RELIEF SUPPLIES TAKES OFF THURSDAY


nairobi, aug 19 (ips) -- eleven u.s. airforce transport planes
thursday will start moving emergency relief food and medical
supplies from the kenyan port town of mombasa to war-devastated
somalia.

according to a commander of the u.s. military humanitarian
assistance survey team, brigadier-general frank libutti, out of
145,000 tonnes tonnes of food provided by the united states to
save people facing starvation in somalia, 11,000 tonnes were
already at mombasa port.

the relief supplies will be distributed to people in somalia
and somali refugees in kenya who are estimated at over 350,000
as well as 600,000 kenyans affected by drought, libutti said.

he said 34 u.s. airforce personnel would carry out the
operation in cooperation with international aid agencies
undertaking relief work in somalia and kenya's north-eastern
provinces.

''we do not have a rigid timetable as we are dealing with a
massive operation, which is the first of its kind and is bound
to face some bottlenecks'', libutti said.

initially, emergency relief food would be airlifted to wajir
in north-eastern kenya and then moved by trucks to western and
southern regions of somalia.

the operation's commander expects the distribution of all
supplies to be completed within 60 days after increasing the
u.s. aiforce personnel team to 100 men soon.

everything would be done to ensure the security of the team
supplying and distributing the food, he said. the team is
expected to make a needs survey which would be used in future
operations.

the operation entails surveying the physical security
situation at key delivery sites in somalia, libutti told ips.

besides the international committee of the red cross, four
u.n. agencies are also taking part in the operation. these are
the world food programme, the u.n. children's fund, the world
health organisation and the u.n. development programme.

nairobi, aug 15 (ips) -- the world food programme (wfp) saturday
started a major airlift of 5,000 metric tons of supplemetary
food to most vulnerable population groups in war-devastated
somalia.

a wfp-chartered aircraft took off here with 18 tonnes of high
protein biscuits to baldoba in central somalia.

according to a wfp statement, the operation follows a
recommendation by by a u.n. technical mission which has been
assessing the situation in somalia during the past 10 days.

residents of baldoba town were given top priority due to
their severe state of malnutrition, the statement said.

''the 5,000 tonnes of food which wfp plans to airlift is
enough to nourish more than 200,000 people for the next four
months'', it added.

the airlift operations would soon be extended to hoddur and
baidera where people were also reported to be in precarious
condition. the three locations are within a radius of 350 km
from mogadishu, the somali capital.

wfp intends to supplement the airlift operations as soon as
possible with deliveries of basic food commodities by road from
mogadishu.

negotiations between the united nations and mogadishu's
warring factions are underway to secure safe passage for relief
convoys which would move from mogadishu to baldoba.

two wfp vessels this week delivered 13,000 tonnes of sorghum
to somalia's kismayo and mogadishu ports.

the u.n. food aid arm has so far delivered 36,500 tonnes of
food to somalia this year. between february and june the agency
also airlifted 1,020 tonnes of medicine and medical equipment
for provided by the u.n. children's fund to mogadishu, kismayo
and wajir.

an additional 30,000 tonnes of food would be sent to somalia
by wfp in the next four weeks.

the agency said it would extend food deliveries throughout
the horn of african country devastated by war and drought under
the united nations inter-agency consolidated plan of action.

Title: SOUTH AFRICA: SPORTING PRIDE BOUGHT DOWN TO EARTH BY BARCELONA


johannesburg, aug 14 (ips/gavin evans) -- south africa's olympic
squad touched down in johannesburg this week to a hearty welcome
from some 1,o00 well-wishers, while much of the rest of the
country was in mourning over a dismal barcelona performance.

until now south african sports fans -- particularly
whites -- have fondly harboured the view that once sporting
isolation ended, the world would be taken by storm. the
perception that the country's runners, swimmers and players were
among the best in the world was pervasive, to say the least.

as a result barcelona '92 has been a sobering -- perhaps even
humiliating -- experience.

the 95-person squad returned home with two silver medals (one
for elana meyer's 10,000 meter run, and another for the men's
tennis doubles pair of wayne ferreira and pietie norval), with
over half the team members flopping on the international stage.

now the chest thumping days are over, the brief high of the
cricket world cup earlier this year all-but-forgotten, and the
question being asked is, what went wrong?

some have played up those two medals, but it doesn't wash
among most fans. kenya, having a particularly bad fortnight,
won eight, and south africa was also bested by morocco,
ethiopia, algeria and nigeria in the african race.

the view that africa (by which is meant the rest of africa)
didn't really count was widespread. what the barcelona olympics
showed very clearly is that the conventional wisdom that olympic
golds require national wealth and political stability is at best
half true.

it is now sinking in that the trick is more funds, and more
energy, needs to be thrown into development programmes, from
which future olympic champions may well be drawn. if this
happens, south africa may have more than elana meyer,
wayne ferreira and peter williams to boast about in 1996.

what is clear is that the toll of 32 years of isolation, were
heavier than most south africans expected. the only 10 black
squad members also says a lot about sport development and
selection across racial lines.

if south africa is hoping for a more apparently non-racial
team for atlanta in four years time, then its sports like track
and field, road running, soccer and boxing rather than the
archery, fencing and badminton in which south africa failed
to excel that should be the prime beneficiaries of funds and
facilities. (end/ips/ge/oa/92)

Peter--if you will send me your address I will send you a leaflet that
can be photocopied--it has an appeal for Somalia on it and telephone
numbers to call.  I also have a fax form headed SAVE SOMALIA with
the message that unless massive aid begins, 3/4 of Somalia's children
will die in the coming year.  It has the fax number of the US State Dept.
and the number for the Secretary General.  You can fax it twice.

We must keep calling, we must keep up the pressure, even though they have
at last decided to act today to send in the food, blankets, and peacekeeping
force.  If they think the public is turning its attention away, they will\
perhaps let the efforts slide.

Thank you so much for your post.

If you have a fax number, I'll try to fax you the leaflet and fax form.  Don't
know if it will come out suitable for photocopying, but it's worth a try.

You can copy the leaflet and leave stacks wherever people who think about
international affairs (and racism and allied topics) have coffee, etc.
And you can get lots of people to sign one fax form.

Of course, you may already have your own leaflet, but if you'd like to
see copies of these, just email me your post office address and a fax
number.

Blessings and best wishes.
