Musings on a world I am no longer sure about
Whoops.
I just ordered coffee instead of tea. I may be a little bouncy tonight
Almost finished the search results page. Looking nice. Slow as fuck tho. If we had a decent fast server to work on it’d be so much quicker...each change to the JSP and I have to wait a good 20 seconds to see if it worked...so I’m gonna ramble on here in the gaps as I got bored waiting for email...
Pretty uneventful day. Demo outside the Syrian embassy about the killing of Kurds in Syria on Friday (see link) - bout 200 people, or so winj says...seems to have gone peacefully...still nothing on the news though about it which is pretty shitty really, as the whole point of the demo is that there’s been nothing on the news about the massacre either.
The media in this country sucks, but at least it’s not America. Grr.
"Kurdish demonstrations have swept across Syria, following outcry over the killings of Kurds by Syrian authorities and pro-Saddam supporters at a football stadium in Qamishlo, northeast Syria, on 12 March 2004.
/According to information received by KHRP, almost 2000 supporters of the Fatuwwa team from Dayr al-Sur, a renowned Ba’thist city, entered the football stadium armed with guns and bearing pro-Saddam and anti-Kurdish statements. Fighting broke out between the Arab supporters and the unarmed Kurdish spectators. Reportedly, Syrian security personnel who were present and internal security police, summoned by the Mayor of Qamishlo, joined the Fatuwwa supporters in attacking the Kurds. Approximately twenty Kurds, including three children, were killed in the stadium and more than 150 injured. "/
