		The United Democratic Front in Kerala is making yet another attempt to mould itself into an effective opposition against the 27-month-old Communist-led government of Chief Minister E K Nayanar.

		UDF convener K Sankaranarayanan put up a brave front on the new move by the opposition to launch a joint agitation against the government.

		Therefore, the limited sanctions imposed on Nigeria by the U.S. and the European Union have not been effective in forcing Abacha and his regime either to bow to the wishes of the people as expressed in the presidential election of June 12th 1993, or to respect the basic standards of international behavior.
		In the process, we believe that we have a responsibility to inform the outside world that those who wish to impose a double standard in their consideration of our plight, those who take sadistic pleasure in reducing us to second class citizens of the world, are enemies of all humanity, yellow, fl and white.
		Along the way, we must remind the apologists of the Abacha regime, especially our own fl brothers from the United States of America, that they are traitors to their own history, and captives of a chronic slave mentality.

		The UDF was formed in 1983 to bring together opponents of constitutional reforms proposed by the National Party government.
		Insofar as this was a 'UDF revolt', it was because it coincided with and was perhaps in part inspired by actions in other parts of the country, not because of any direct organisational or even ideological link.
		I argue in my own study that the UDF should not be regarded as coterminous with the entire Charterist (or ANC-aligned) movement inside the country; increasingly, large sections of the latter were opposed to the UDF as a specific set of structures and leaders.

		I wish to appeal to Your Excellency to call for an urgent meeting of the Security Council of the United Nations to consider the situation in Sierra Leone, and in the meanwhile to demand that Nigeria stop all further military action against the people of Sierra Leone.
		The view is widely held in Sierra Leone that the Government of Cote D’Ivoire, the United Nations, the OAU and the Commonwealth, as the moral guarantors of the accord, reinforced by other disinterested states, could help Sierra Leoneans develop a peaceful solution.
		Further, the United Nations Security Council has not authorised Nigeria’s military intervention in Sierra Leone, as it did the American intervention in Haiti which it authorized only after all the non-military options have been thoroughly exhausted.

	Iranian Democrats Establish a United Front - December 7, 2004 - The New York Sun
		WASHINGTON - After years of bitter internal divisions and a series of crackdowns from the Islamic republic, the Iranian democratic opposition in the last two weeks has organized a united front to push for a referendum on the powers of the supreme leader.
		Sazegra is a founder of what in Farsi is called Tahkimeh Vahdat, which is translated into "strongest unity." The organization includes many of the reformists who had tried to work within the system with President Khatemi, as well as supporters of the son of the deposed Shah, Reza Pahlevi.
		Khatemi could go a long way in dispelling the notion in the West that Iran's democratic opposition has been demoralized after hard-line clerics prohibited most reformers from running for the elected assembly and have recently intensified efforts to arrest anti-regime bloggers and shut down critical newspapers.

	Black Liberation in South Africa and the United States
		Inviting Louis Farrakhan of the fl racialist and anti-Semitic Nation of Islam to a summit meeting of fl leaders in 1994 was not the same as endorsing his views, but it did give him a measure of legitimacy and was deeply troubling to many of the association’s white and integration-minded supporters.
		The invitation to Farrakhan might be contrasted with the decision made during the 1980s by the ANC and its domestic surrogate, the United Democratic Front, to give interracialism or “nonracialism” a higher priority than fl unity.
		The mainstream liberation movement proclaimed that South Africa was a multi-racial and multi-ethnic society that could be fused into a single nation on the basis of shared democratic values.
