Albania: 30 miners in huger strike
They are fasting 1400 meters under the surface of the town of Bulqiza. The hunger strike is an escalation of a three weeks strike by some 700 workers of Albanian Chrome, a subsidiary of Austrian DMC DECO Metal.
The striking workers demand a substantial salary rise.
Bulqiza is the largest chromium mine on Earth. Chromium is an essential metal in modern steel and aluminum alloys, among other products.

You are not people but vermin to be exterminated, read the missive.

Basque Country: solidarity with Basque prisoners goes to the beach

| Zarautz |
Thousands activists solidarious with the Basque prisoners went to the beaches and roads today claiming:
Eskubide guztiak. Euskal presoak Euskal Herrira.
All the rights. Basque prisoners to the Basque Country.
In the communication read in public, the activists have denounced that the dispersion of the prisoners through remote prisons in the Spanish and French states is not just an attack against fundamental human rights but also an obstacle for the peaceful resolution in the conflict between the Basque People and these two imperialist West European states.

I don't understand, if the Basque people are suppressed politically and socially in Spain, then why not declare independence and wage a war? Insurrection and sedition could be the initiation and whatever may proceeds afterward the framework of the revolution. I know I am overly simplifying the situation but sometimes you must wage war if the people are supporting basque autonomy. Its the peoples war.

Actually there is much more but we have been in war most of the last
two centuries, and I would bore you telling about earlier history
(revolts, self-rule, sovereign states, the Franks, the Arabs, the
Goths, the Romans, the Celts...
To be simple: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Roncevaux_Pass,

Not necessarily all you find written there is objective but it should
at least give you some background. Spain as-it-is is a product of the
War of the Spanish Succession and hence part of the status quo of West
Europe traditionally supported by France and Britain and now by the
USA and NATO also. It's not so easy for a small people to win such a
conflict.
But we will eventually, I hope.
