Bus Passengers, by Ify Okoli (Nigeria) Posted 2/610
For many, it portends a premonition of doom especially if you had an incorrigible boss you had to hide from, a spouse whose trust you had betrayed or someone you could not stop lying to. After the excitement of the night before, the deep dreamless sleep, it was mortifying to wake up on a work day to the sound of rain drops hammering away on zinc roofs, the characteristic sound like the quick march of a hundred tin soldiers.

The Visitor, by Titus Mutuma (Kenya) Posted 2/6/10
Immediately after my final year in campus, I made up my mind not to face the hard sun of shags. As I was earlier advised by the lots in the prime, seeking refuge at home especially in the upcountry was the most awful attempt a university graduate can commit. The ivory tower is a home of its own.... Comradeship is very much acclaimed internally and in the external bases of the campus. It is in their walk, talk, and also in the chew and the clad that acts as evidences. In addition, you will have to meet the extreme limits of researchers with all sorts of degrees and as usual, all are in grey hair or no hair on their head. It is a place that counts to have the ‘highest number of intellectuals per square meter’.

Most Biased Supreme Court Decision Since Dred Scott, 1857, by Warren Turner (US) Posted 2/4/10
The foremost of the factors that led to the genocide would be the imbalance in terms of power and lack of enough resources for the two major ethnic groups: Hutus vs. Tutsis. Regardless the origin and reasons of Hutu and Tutsi ethnic label, the fact that there was imbalance between Tutsi elites vs. Hutus before 1959, it was clear that without any change there was conflict and related violence escalation on the horizon in one way or another.

Fearing Wolves - Chapter 1 - Rational Conduct, by Kevin Tatro (US) Posted 2/4/10
Red flashes of light ate through the darkness as a line of sparks started faintly in the distance, quickly winding closer, snaking up the roadway with increasing anger turning into the scream of a thousand red tail lights yelling in mother’s voice….. Stop!

First Half, United Take the Lead , Chapter 4 - Parallel Lives, by Jonathon Bellall (UK) Posted 2/6/10
“Come on let’s hurry up.” I said as I grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the elevator. She hurried along behind me into the street as I flagged down a taxi. One of the few benefits of living on such a busy street in Rio is that there is always a constant supply of empty taxis passing by. We jumped in the back of the first one to stop and I told the taxi driver where to go, and which route to take.

Unsafe Abortion in Brazil, by Fernanda Pattaro Amaral (Brazil) Posted 12/20/09
This article exposes some points of reflexion about the right to abortion as part of a human’s rights question. Therefore, it is important a deep understanding about the ways that this question have been thought in Brazil, where there are restricted laws and a high maternal mortality rate decurrent of unsafe abortions. The discussion that is intended focuses on these consequences of unsafe abortion. Furthermore, is present in this discussion the idea of sanctification of women as mothers in Brazil, and how this social construction influences the debate about (un)safe abortion.

The Politics of Managing the Boss (excerpt), by SM Zakir Hussain (Bangladesh) Posted 1/21/10
Managing the Boss is like managing one’s wife: one must give more than what one wants to get, but ironically, the wife afterwards thinks she has gotten less than she gave. “Then why the hell do I ever need to manage him?” you might be asking the author. Well, it is because he wants to be managed.

Middle East
Crossing the Horizon, by Khaled Alnobani Posted 7/11/09
She sat in front of her room. The roof was made of plates of metal. She was in the camp waiting for her boy – one of her pearls - to come and appear before her, coming from the school. Counting on her life not her death, her children always await her, expect her, long for her and that which she counts on. The view of life is different from other places; the camp is a terribly poor place, full of poverty. She does not expect much from the others but she does what she must do. There was a stream of dirty polluted water in front of her; the polluted water crossed the camp between its sides. That water came from what one can hardly describe as houses. Insects fill the place in summer and usually a hot summer comes in Jordan. There was a piece of every person in that stream. It was not covered.
