U.S. RECIPE FOR RELIEF: SEND TROOPS

UN officials blew up Sept. 17 when they heard that four U.S.
warships with 2,100 Marines had arrived off the Somali coast to
"provide cover" for an airlift of UN troops into Mogadishu, the
capital.

"The Americans are coordinating the world, so they might as well
coordinate the coordinator as well," fumed one official. UN
Secretary General Boutros Boutros Ghali recently named Under
Secretary General Jan Eliasson of Sweden to head a relief
coordination effort for East Africa, where famine and war
threaten millions with starvation.

Special envoy Mohamed Sahnoun said the Pentagon plan could
"upsete delicate negotiations" to stop the Somalian civil war.

The U.S. used Somalia as a wedge against revolutionary Ethiopia
for 15 years beginning in 1974. With the collapse of the
Ethiopian revolution the U.S. abandoned Somalia, setting the
stage for economic collapse and the civil war that has raged
since. Now, it seems the only solution imaginable to Washington
is a military one.

If you have cable TV, get "The Discovery Channel" at 5:00 PM today (Saturday)

This is a independent view of the struggle of East Timor people against his
powerful neighbor Indonesia, that had cost 1/3 of its population (> 200 000
deaths) in 16 years of occupation.

See with your own eyes the way the resistance lives in the jungle,
the last words ofindependence fighters recorded (some of then had been shoot

violence of the Indonesian army on assassinating the East Timorese
demonstrators.

Press Release
 
The INS today moved at least thirty -nine (39) Haitian women refugee
detainees to Lake County Jail in Tavares. It intends to hold political
asylum hearings for them there, in makeshift courtrooms, despite the
absence of their attorneys. Tavares is about an hour north of Orlando,
remote from any available legal help. Legal help is essential in
establishing eligibility for political asylum.
 
The women are already represented by experienced asylum attorneys in
Miami, or have free legal services in Miami available to them, including
HRC, St. Thomas University School of Law, and Legal Services. Just this
semester, St. Thomas established a clinical program specifically to
represent indigent Krome detainees. Most of the detainees are indigent.
 
Tavares is hundreds of miles from experienced and available legal help.
Few if any attorneys are available to represent asylum seekers there.
Holding hearing there will turn Lake County Jail into a deportation
factory.
 
The women were sent to Tavares from county jails in Tampa, Sarasota,
and elsewhere. INS had sent them to the jails from Krome immediately
following Hurricane Andrew.
 
INS has a history of transferring aliens to remote facilities. It is easier to
deport someone in violation of the right to counsel and to a fair hearing,
rights protected by the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Constitution,
the UN Convention and Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees, and
other international covenants to which the US is signatory.
 
INS should not house and hear refugees in county jails far from available
attorneys, witnesses, interpreters, and family and community members.
Refugees flee for their lives; they aren't criminals. If Hurricane Andrew
caused a housing shortage, the humanitarian response is to immediately
parole these asylum seekers to their families.
 
Asylum seekers face possible persecution upon deportation. For
example, Haiti's military is more brutal and repressive today than at any
time since Jean Claude Duvalier was ousted in 1986.

   WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 -- The Children's Defense Fund (CDF) 
is urging the United States to part company with those
nations, most notably Cambodia, Iraq, Libya, and South Africa, that
still refuse to sign or ratify the U.N. Convention on the Rights of
the Child.
   Saying that the United States, like other nations, must be
accountable for its treatment of children, CDF itself is reporting to
the United Nations and the American public on behalf of America's
children, since the U.S. government will not be producing the report
now due from countries that have ratified the convention.  The CDF
report, "America's Children Falling Behind: The United States and
the Convention on the Rights of the Child," compares U.S. performance
to the convention's standards in 11 areas, including health, abuse,
and neglect, children's standard of living, child labor and juvenile
justice.

   Press copies of the report are available.  Also, report author

 "ISRAEL DELIVERED TO THE US A LIST OF TARGETS FOR ATTACK IN IRAQ"

By Sari'el Shani

Washington -- During the Gulf War, Israel delivered to the US a list
of targets for attack, which were then bombed by the US Air Force.

The US agreed to accept such a list as part of of its effort to
prevent Israel from participating in the war.  This revelation, which
has never before been made public by an authoritative source, is
included in the forthcoming autobiography of General Norman
Schwarzkopf, commander of the "Desert Storm" campaign, to appear next
month.  This was reported earlier this week in the New York Times.

Karuks Seek Help For Klamath 
 
The Karuk Tribe fisheries department is seeking letter-writing
and phone-calling support to get more water into the Klamath
River so the severely damaged salmon and steelhead populations
can survive their annual spawning migrations starting this
month.
 
The river's fish stocks and flow are both at all-time lows. The
Bureau of Reclamation is diverting more than three-quarters of
the upper Klamath's flow for agriculture, leaving the flow in
the river at less than 60% of what is considered the minimum
necessary to maintain fish populations.
 
The appeal for public involvement followed the Klamath River
Basin Fisheries Task Force's call in June for higher flows. The
task force represents four northern California counties, three
Indian tribes, commercial and sportfishing communities and state
and federal agencies.
 
All have agreed that the amount of water being released at Iron
Gate damis totally unacceptable.  Iron Gate is one of five dams
that block salmon and steelhead migrating upstream above the
Shasta River confluence. They not only reduce fish populations
directly by eliminating access to spawning areas, but they
affect water quality and have reduced the flow below levels
suitable for salmonid survival.
 
Letters and calls should be directed to your elected state and
Congressional representatives, as well as the following agency
officials.

RADIO PROGRAMS ON INDIGENOUS RESISTANCE NORTH AND SOUTH

Cassette Culture, a special project of not-for-profit
radio station CFRU-FM in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, has 
produced more than a dozen half-hour radio programs
examining aspects of indigenous resistance and cultural
renewal in North and South America.

These programs include:
"Restoring the forest, restoring its people," an interview
with Dennis Rogers-Martinez of the Sinkyone Intertribal
Wilderness Council about a unique project to restore an
ecosystem and a society ravaged by industrial forestry;

"We will not be silent again," three members of the Innu
nation of Northern Labrador talk about their struggle to
stop low-level NATO bombing training over their homeland;

"Unity in diversity," Johnny Hodgeson of Nicaragua's black
and native autonomous zone talks about the ongoing struggle
for self-development on the Atlantic Coast of Central
America;

"Northern Sacrifice," a four-part series on the massive
James Bay II hydroelectric project and the threat it poses
to the Cree way of life, includes talks by Cree Grand Chief
Matthew Coon Come and native activist and writer Winona LaDuke;

"Defending the Oldman River," Milton Born-with-a-Tooth of the 
Blackfoot Lonefighters Society, discusses his struggle 
against the powers that be in Alberta.

Each program is fully produced with an introduction and a 
conclusion on tape and can be aired as is, or edited to
suit local needs. The programs are also suitable for home
listening or inclusion in a resource library.

To cover our production costs, and enable us to continue
producing such programs, we normally charge $7 per program.
But because we are primarily concerned with reaching a 
wider audience and effecting change, we are always willing
to make other arrangements such as exchange as necessary.
Most of all we encourage community groups and individuals
to make use of these resources.

PALESTINE
Palestinian leaders pledged "a fight to the end" with Israeli
authorities, as inmates continue a hunger strike over conditions in
Israeli jails.

Five thousand Palestinian prisoners are taking only water in 20
jails as the strike spread Oct 1 to Arab East Jerusalem and the
occupied Gaza Strip.

The prisoners are complaining, among other things, of beatings by
guards, severe over-crowding and increased use of solitary
confinement. (R. France 10/1)
