iraq

One week after Iraqi government forces arrested an Awakening Group (commonly referred to as Sons of Iraq, al-Sahwa) leader, Adil al-Mashhadani, head of a patrol unit in central Baghdad’s Fadhil neighborhood in Baghdad, sparking gun battles that raged for hours between US-backed Iraqi forces and US-allied Sunni militiamen that killed three people, militiamen have once again been detained, widening concerns that sectarian violence may once more engulf Baghdad. There are 50,000 Sahwa fighters in Baghdad alone.

Peace MuralPeace in Las Vegas

Las Vegas is not ordinarily known for its activism. Gambling, yes. Glitz and glamor, yes. Strippers, yes. But what about Peace Activists?

At the First Annual Las Vegas Peace Festival hundreds of Las Vegans gathered to celebrate peace, and set a new standard for Sin City. The Box Office, located in the art district of Las Vegas, hosted the event on Saturday, October 13th. With a combination of live music, interactive mural painting, tree dedicating, body paints, art displays, compassionate speeches, and a lot of dancing, the festival proved to be a success.

Cholera is spreading throughout Iraq, with half of the 18 provinces affected, Kirkuk and Sulaymaniyah being the hardest hit.
