SENATE SUBCOMMITTEE TO VOTE ON EAST TIMOR THIS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15

After intensive lobbying from the Bush administration, corporate 
interests, and the Indonesian government, some Senators may be moving to 
restore military training for Indonesia to the 1993 Foreign Aid bill. We 
need to counter that pressure.

In June, the House unanimously deleted $2.3 million for the IMET program 
to protest wanton killings in East Timor. For the first time in the 
17-year Indonesian occupation, Congress began to cut funds to stop the 
genocide that has killed one-third of the East Timorese population.

The Indonesian government has enlisted American corporations that do 
business there, especially General Electric and AT&T, to lobby Senators 
to keep bringing Indonesian military officers here for training. They 
want a weak resolution, with easily met conditions, instead of the strong 
message sent by the House of Representatives.

The House had it right -- the American people and our elected 
Representatives aren't beholden to corporate blood money earned in 
exchange for the training and weapons given by U.S. taxpayers to the 
Suharto regime. The IMET program for 1993 should be cut unconditionally. 
Only after Indonesia complies with U.N. resolutions for withdrawal, human 
rights, and self-determination, should military aid be resumed. Other 
U.S. aid for Indonesia should also be suspended, pending improvements in 
the situation.

Whatever happens in the Subcommittee, there will be a debate on the Senate
floor in the next few weeks.

CALL YOUR SENATORS TODAY.

You can reach them through the Capitol switchboard, (202)224-3121.

Urge them to support an unconditional cut in military training. In the 
ten months since the Santa Cruz massacre, Jakarta has shown no intention 
to change its policies, to admit what happened last November 12 and 
punish those responsible, or to prevent future atrocities. It is past 
time for requests for reports.

Indonesia and its multinational corporate supporters understand that this 
legislation is far more important than the money involved. We need to 
understand that too, and act on it.

           PRESS RELEASE #24
        FROM MEDECINS SANS FRONTIERES (DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS)


PRIORITY MUST BE GIVEN TO THE CONTINUATION AND DECENTRALIZATION OF FOOD AID


In the extremely tense social and human context of Somalia, Medecins Sans
Frontieres, which is in favour of the principle of UN forces intervention,
is worried that the nonnegotiated arrival of more troops may constitute a
serious danger for the safety of humanitarian workers and for the still
fragile aid infrastructure.

In contrast to the presence of UN forces in Mogadishu, which had been
properly prepared and is proving necessary for the capital's security, an
added deployment in Somalia without previous agreement by all sides may
risks to be taken locally as an agression and result in the rejection of
any form of western intervention.

Medecins Sans Frontieres would like to remind all sides that the delivery
of supplies must remain the priority in interventions.  Tensions will be
reduced when the volume of delviered provisions is increased to more
regions.

Large numbers of displaced persons are leaving their regions, where
privation is considerable, for the cities in the hopes of receiving survival
rations.  This leads to high concentrations of people in a few sites where
health conditions are extremely precarious and the tension is all the
stronger for the fact that *aid is as yet insufficient* [emphasis added--dm]
Greater deployment is indispensable and must lead to keeping populations in
or encouraging them to return to their home regions.

Medecins Sans Frontieres and a certain number of humanitarian agencies such
as the ICRC [International Committee for the Red Cross] are already
trying to widen the perimeters of aid.  These are presently 18
Medecins Sans Frontieres child feeding centers in the Marka-Brava region
(Marka, Qorioley, Bulo, Marer and Brava) and 6 in Kissmaayo.  A new
feeding and medical programme has now been set up in the regions
of Baidoa, Waajid, Hoddur (about 150 kms. to the north of Baidoa) and
Kansardhere.

For further information please contact Francois Dumaine at Medecins
San Frontieres (Paris): Tel. (33-1)402102846.

What you are writing does not describes Islam. It describes attitudes in the
Arab and Muslem societies now a days which does not reflect any Islamic 
behaviour.

Islam is the most tolerant religion in the world. To know this, you should read
the Qura'n, the life of the prophet, and the Islamic history. Not to read it
from a western perspective but from a moderate one. This would show the 
greatness of our history.

We had an empire where Muslems, Chrestians, Jews, and others lived togother
for centuries. We were tolerant with other religions. Other religions defended
our land with us to protect the way of life they were living. This is 
illustrated in many events, e.g Issa Al-Awwam a christian who was a commander
of some of Saladin's troops. Hw fought against the Crossaders. I urge you to
read the history of the Muslem empire stages. There were so many no-muslems
serving as secreteries of states and advisors to the Caliphs.

What we all Muslems say, read the Qura'n if you find it appleaing and confirms
your thinking of life then take it as your religion we won't force to be a 
muslem. Nut as all religions, Islam says if you know about Islam and don't take
it as a religion then it is your responsibilty infront of God. God is the only 
one who can bunish.

Again and Again, I am telling you Islam is great. Islam is not what Saudi's,
Kuwaiti's, Iraqi's, Egyptian, Palestenians, Iranians, .. governments are doing.
They do not represent anything of Islam. They represent their own stupidity
, dectatorships, irrogance, dirty wealth. Islam is great but you need to read
and know.

Salam.

/* Written  5:59 pm  Sep 13, 1992 by vamg6792@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu in cdp:soc.cult.afric */


	JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (UPI) -- An advanced group of 18 U.N.
monitors arrived in South Africa Sunday to help end politically
motivated violence which has claimed more than 6,000 lives since
February 1990.
	Group leader Ismat Steiner told the South African Press Association
his delegation's main purpose was to observe developments in the country
and assist existing structures in ending the cycle of violence.
	He said the group's first task would be to establish contact with all
involved parties and make arrangements for the arrival of a further 32
U.N. monitors, including Jamaican Angela King who will head the complete
U.N. team.
	The U.N. Security Council August 17 authorized U.N. Secretary-General
Boutros Ghali to deploy the U.N. monitoring team in South Africa after
listening to recommendations by former U.S. Secretary of State Cyrus
Vance, who visited South Africa in July on a fact-finding mission.
	The U.N. team is expected to be joined by 15 European Community
observers following a meeting in England Sunday by EC foreign ministers
to discuss recommendations by British Foreign Minister Douglas Hurd that
the EC send observers to South Africa.
	Hurd, accompanied by Portugal's secretary of state for cooperation
Jose Barroso and Denmark's Foreign Minister Uffe Ellemann-Jensen,
visited South Africa on a two-day fact-finding mission at the beginning
of September.
	The EC is also expected to send five representatives with police
backgrounds to join the task force of the Goldstone Commission.
	The Goldstone Commission, which has the respect of all major
political parties, was appointed last year by President Frederik de
Klerk to investigate violence and intimidation after South African
political parties and trade unions signed a peace accord in September.
	Steiner said the U.N. monitors would also be working with the
Commission, lead by Judge Richard Goldstone, but did not elaborate.
	Goldstone announced Saturday his commission would investigate
Monday's massacre of African National Congress supporters in the
nominally independent black homeland of Ciskei.
	Ciskei soldiers fired into a crowd of 20,000 ANC supporters, killing
28 and wounding another 196 as they marched on the Ciskei's capital
Bisho to demand the resignation of the homeland's military leader Brig.
Oupa Gqozo.
	Following the massacre, the ANC agreed to meet de Klerk in talks on
ways to curb violence in the country, provided the talks were designed
to produce concrete results and were preceded by practical steps by the
government to end the violence.
	The ANC withdrew June 23 from multi-party pro-democracy talks,
accusing the government of complicity in politically motivated violence.
Pretoria has denied the charges.
