The Constitution of Islamic Republic of Iran The Constitution, having regard to the Islamic contents of the Iranian Revolution, which was a movement for the victory of all the oppressed over the arrogant, provides a basis for the continuation of that revolution both inside and outside the country. Now the Constitution of the Islamic Republic, as the announcement of the structure and political, social, cultural and economic relationships within society, must guide the way towards the consolidation of the foundations of Islamic Government, and produce the design for a new order of Government in substitution for the old idolatrous order. Inspired by the revolutionary religious feeling and the rich fruitfulness of Islam, they began a persistent and rewarding struggle to raise the level of awareness and vigilance as regards the fight, and its religious nature, among the Muslim nation. www.iranchamber.com /government/laws/constitution.php   (2633 words)

Oliver Cromwell and the Puritan Revolution The unique Puritanism of Oliver Cromwell, his heavy use of the military in domestic affairs, the unpopular reforms of the time, and the Royalist movement all contributed to the fall of Cromwell's Republic. Known as the Independents, this faction of the Puritan church was convinced that a state established church had no place in the Republic and that the Republic had no place in dealing with matters spiritual. Whatever the opinion of Cromwell and his role in the Republic of England, it did not last after Cromwell's death, which led to the restoration of Charles II in 1660. w3.trib.com /~jbrooks/cromwell.htm   (2227 words)

MADAGASCAR: The Second Republic, 1975-92 According to this document, the primary goal of the newly renamed Democratic Republic of Madagascar was to build a "new society" founded on socialist principles and guided by the actions of the "five pillars of the revolution": the SRC, peasants and workers, young intellectuals, women, and the Popular Armed Forces. In March the Vanguard of the Malagasy Revolution (Antokin'ny Revolisiona Malagasy--Arema) was founded as the government party, and Ratsiraka became its secretary general. The guiding principle of Ratsiraka's administration was the need for a socialist "revolution from above." Specifically, he sought to radically change Malagasy society in accordance with programs and principles incorporated into the Charter of the Malagasy Socialist Revolution, popularly referred to as the "Red Book" (Boky Mena). www.wildmadagascar.org /overview/loc/16-history_1975-1992.html   (2227 words)

Iran News - Ahmadinejad to export 'new Islamic revolution' However these latest comments were made to a markedly different audience -- the families of over 70 victims, including several MPs and the former chief justice, killed in a 1981 attack at the headquarters of the once powerful post-revolution Islamic Republic Party. The tone of the remarks harks back to the first years after 1979 Islamic revolution, when the country's leaders frequently pledged to take the revolution beyond Iran. LONDON, June 30 (IranMania) - Iran's president-elect Mahmood Ahmadinejad hailed his election win as a new Islamic revolution which he said he hoped would now spread its way throughout the world. iranmania.com /News/ArticleView/?NewsCode=33014&...+Affairs   (1107 words)

The Constitution of Islamic Republic of Iran Unanimously, the nation of Iran, in partnership with the religious authorities, and the ULEMA of Islam, and the repository of Leadership, in a referendum concerning the Islamic Republic, took a final and categorical decision to set up an exalted new republican and Islamic order, and affirmed the Islamic Republic by a majority vote of 98.2%. The Constitution, having regard to the Islamic contents of the Iranian Revolution, which was a movement for the victory of all the oppressed over the arrogant, provides a basis for the continuation of that revolution both inside and outside the country. Imam Khomeini's crushing protest against that American plot, The White Revolution, which was a step taken with a view to strengthening the foundations of the despotic regime and consolidating Iran's political, cultural and economic links with World Imperialism, was the motive force behind the united uprising of the nation. www.iranchamber.com /government/laws/constitution.php   (2633 words)

Fidel Castro's speech about the implications of Bush been a recovered alcoholic - PRAVDA.Ru Speech made by Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz, President of the Republic of Cuba, at the ceremony for the 51st anniversary of the attack on the Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Cespedes fortresses. Many people in the world who know very little about the Cuban Revolution might fall victim to the lies and tricks the US government spreads through the huge media available to it.

Central African Republic 1976 Flag Project Bokassa himself following Gadhaffi's example gave up to most of his post and remained only as: For-Life-President of the Republic, For-Life-President of the MESAN (the sole political party), President of the Revolution Council and Supreme Chief of Central African Army. Back home, on 4 September 1976, President Bokassa suppressed the Government and created a pro-libyan ruling body named Conseil de la Revolution Centrafricaine (Central African Revolution Council). Even some media reported it as definitively adopted, but it seems that after obtaining some economic help from Ghadafi, the new flag project stopped, and some months later the republic was transformed into the Empire (December 1976) and the old flag confirmed. flagspot.net /flags/cf_76.html   (2722 words)

Azerbaijani literature received a powerful stimulus during the ``age of the three revolutions,'' which began with the Russian revolution of 1905 and included the Constitutional Revolution of 1905-1907 in Persia and the Young Turk revolution of 1908-1909 in Turkey.

ISN Security Watch - Abkhazia not quite ripe for 'Rose Revolution' “The Rose Revolution in Georgia was headed by Saakashvili, and he was the first one to enter the besieged parliament building and then became the president. As Georgia's territorial integrity-bound president sets his sites on reining in the republic of Abkhazia, observers seems to think that a settlement could not be expected before the republic's October elections, by whence Russia will have determined which side it is on.

The Roman Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Roman Revolution is a book by Ronald Syme recounting the final years of the ancient Roman Republic and the creation of the Roman Empire by Caesar Augustus. In The Last Generation of the Roman Republic, Erich Gruen offered an effective opposing point of view, arguing that the traditional view of the Republic's decay is not actually supported by the objective evidence. Even so, Syme's recounting is masterful; he relies on prosopography, especially the work of Friedrich Münzer, to show the extent to which Augustus achieved his unofficial but undisputed power by the development of personal relationships into a "Caesarian" party, then used it to defeat and diminish the opposition one by one. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/The_Roman_Revolution   (1556 words)

25 years after revolution, Iran is facing new realities / Islamic leaders under pressure from within, outside nation At the urging of Iran's religious leaders, hundreds of thousands are expected to march, wave signs and shout slogans lauding the revolution during anniversary festivities today, but the celebrations obscure a reservoir of discontent. The slogans are the same, but today's Iran is far different than the one 25 years ago, when Khomeini declared the birth of the Islamic republic and set the country on a collision course with the world. But many have been barred from running in elections scheduled for February 20, setting off a political crisis that is putting the spotlight on Iran's curious hybrid government, which bills itself as an Islamic republic. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2004/02/11/MNGCH4TUN11.DTL   (1556 words)

Middle East Open Encyclopedia: Iran According to the Constitution, the Supreme Leader of Iran is responsible for the delineation and supervision of "the general policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran." In the absence of a single leader, a council of religious leaders is appointed. The Iranian Revolution of 1979 ultimately led to the establishment of a theocratic Islamic Republic and the country retained its name, while its political title was changed to the Islamic Republic of Iran. In particular Iranian-American relations were severely strained after the Iranian seizure of U.S. embassy personnel in 1979, Iran's subsequent attempts to export its revolution, and its support of anti-Western militant groups such as Lebanese Hezbollah. www.baghdadmuseum.org /ref/index.php?title=Iran   (3381 words)
