 Reason: Liberty Belle: France’s new libertarian youth leader
On June 15, in the midst of crippling transportation and education strikes against Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin’s plan to reform France’s ailing pension system, Herold led an anti-union rally that shocked her and the rest of the country by drawing 80,000 angry people.
In the meantime, there are rumors of more strikes in the fall, which is when we should find out whether Herold and the Liberté, J’Ecris Ton Nom movement are the beginning of a lasting anti-strike revolt -- and the vanguard of a libertarian youth movement in France.
Despite these impressive early results, Herold’s long-term task is truly Sisyphean: Chip away at the ossified paternalism in French and European governance, convince a nation that treasures its generous safety net that it can’t last, and confront an entrenched culture that views noisome public sector strikes as the preferred method for conflict resolution.

 [AIN] Asmarino Independent News - Darfur: Help African Union Boost Troops Now
The current African Union mission of 2,400 troops is too small to proactively protect civilians throughout Darfur, a region the size of France.
The United Nations, the African Union, the European Union and NATO all have a critical role to play in rapidly boosting protection for the people of Darfur, Human Rights Watch said.
Other African countries, particularly members of the African Union’s Peace and Security Council, should increase the numbers of troops sent to AMIS or, if they have not contributed troops, they should pledge now to support AMIS by sending military observers and police.
