The secret lives of North Koreans \| Ryū Murakami	25.5.2013	Guardian: Comment is Free
Conducting interviews with refugees from North Korea gave me an insight into the reality of life inside the 'impenetrable kingdom' To Japanese citizens like me, the people of North Korea, though geographically close, are practically invisible. When I decided to write a novel about North Korea – now called From the Fatherland, With Love – I was faced with the challenge of creating believable portraits based strictly on source materials and the imagination. I was unable to enter the country, but having learned of a community of North Korean defectors in Seoul, I went there to interview nearly 20 individuals. Rather than asking how they'd gone about escaping the north, I wanted to learn about everyday life in the DPRK – what people ate, what they wore, how they got around, how they approached love and romance, what was most important in their lives and so forth. Sometimes this emphasis on the personal only served to put the refugees on their guard. When I asked them to draw simple maps of ...

Hezbollah's role in Syrian conflict ushers new reality for its supporters	24.5.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
Once denied by its leaders, the Shia militant group's involvement in Syria is now a badge of honour for families burying their dead The workmen had been busy in the room where Hezbollah honours its dead. In one corner of the martyrs' cemetery in south Beirut, four women shrouded in black sat cross-legged near a new grave, reading from the Qu'ran. Metres away, the yellow flag of the militant group covered a freshly covered hole in a white marble floor. The scent of burning incense wafted across the room. Another grave, its concrete seal barely dry, had been partly completed nearby. There were seven fresh holes in all; and the grave digger was never far away. More bodies were due on Friday. At this rate, the tiny room – a shrine to Hezbollah's cause as much as to the men who died fighting for it – would soon be full. The flurry of activity in the martyrs' cemetery marks the busiest period for the militant movement since the 2006 war with Israel, in which an estimated 400 of its members ...

Karunanidhi requests Centre to provide citizenship to Eelam Tamils	24.5.2013	deccanherald.com
DMK President M Karunanidhi today requested the Centre to provide citizenship to over one lakh Sri Lankan Tamils living in India as refugees. Observing that continuous efforts were made to provide citizenship to the Eelam (separate home land) Tamils living as refugees when DMK was in power, Karunanidhi said, "Recently, United States of America has decided to provide citizenship to 2.60 lakh Indians living in that country without any relevant documents." "Similarly, it is also our wish and request to the Centre to come forward and provide citizenship to over one lakh Eelam Tamils living in the country ensuring their permanent safety," he said. Such an effort taken by the Centre would guarantee their future, he added.

Syria needs Britain's help, but it does not need our weapons	24.5.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
Government outrage does not provide a sound basis for such a material policy change as vetoing the EU arms embargo The most seductive fallacy in foreign affairs is "something must be done". It now appears that the UK government is ready to veto any extension of the EU arms embargo on Syria when it comes up for review in Brussels next Monday. That would be "something". As set out by William Hague this week in the House of Commons, this policy is as follows. The government has not decided to send arms to the "good guys" among the rebels, but it wants the flexibility to do so and in the meantime it believes that not to renew the EU embargo would send a powerful signal to President Bashar al-Assad. Like many fallacies it is superficially attractive, especially when accompanied by a harrowing account of the brutality of the Assad regime, its indiscriminate use of violence against its own citizens, and the impact on Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan of the never-ending flood of refugees. But outrage and ...
