Afghanistan demands public trial for US shooter of villagers

Afghanistan’s parliament has condemned the killing of 16 civilians by an American sergeant on Sunday. It demands a public trial, saying Afghans have run out of patience with how the NATO-led coalition forces are acting in the country.

The demand for a trial by an Afghan court goes against the usual practice for American military personnel serving abroad. They are immune from prosecution by local authorities and are instead tried by American military tribunals.

But Brigadier General Carsten Jacobson, spokesperson for the NATO-led coalition in Afghanistan, promised on Monday that the Afghan people would receive justice.

The presence of the ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) in Afghanistan has been a public relations nightmare lately, with a number of scandals erupting involving foreign soldiers over recent months.

In late February the burning of Korans and other holy Muslim scriptures at the US Bagram Air Base provoked mass rioting in the country. What was called an “inadvertent” act by the US resulted in some 40 deaths and hundreds of injured, as angry crowds demanded retribution for the desecration.

Earlier the same month a photo of a US Marine scout sniper team surfaced on the internet, provoking a scandal. The marines were posing in front of flag bearing an insignia of the SS, or Schutzstaffel, the military wing of the German Nazi Party. According to explanations, the soldiers did not realize the historical meaning of the double lightning bolt and meant it to represent “scout snipers”.

In mid-January, a video showing US Marines urinating on corpses of slain Afghans, presumably Taliban fighters, circulated on YouTube caused outrage worldwide. In at least one incident the video provoked violent retribution, when an Afghan soldier opened fire at French troops, who were part of the ISAF, killing four and wounding eight people.

Over the previous years, the ISAF troops have been engaged in sport-killing of Afghans and mistakenly killing hundreds of civilians in poorly-targeted air strikes, among other things. The war is increasingly unpopular back home, while the level of trust from Afghan population remains low.

The NATO-led coalition is now preparing for withdrawal of most its troops from Afghanistan after a decade of occupation. Apparently the invaders have failed to build a strong and self-reliant state capable of dealing with the insurgents on its own. Washington is currently in talks with the Taliban, reportedly attempting to secure safe passage out for its troops.

US talks military intervention in Syria – report

Washington has allegedly opened discussions with allies on possible military intervention in Syria, as foreign ministers from the UN Security Council nations to meet later on Monday to discuss the Syrian conflict.

According to US Washington Post, some US unnamed officials suggest among the possibilities are directly arming opposition forces, sending troops to guard a humanitarian corridor or “safe zone” for the rebels, or an air assault on Syrian air defenses. 

However, the US officially insisted they currently rule out an option of any military involvement in Syria’s internal conflict. 

The allies nevertheless remain deeply divided over the scope of any intervention, how and when it would happen, and who would participate, reports the newspaper. 

Over the weekend, UN and Arab League envoy Kofi Annan held two meetings with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The negotiations failed to reach any tangible results. The Syrian leader rejected a proposal for a dialogue with the opposition and made it clear it would not be open while “armed terrorist groups were still operating in the country.”The former UN chief however said he “feels optimistic.”

The legitimacy of any military options under international law remains highly questionable, with Russia and China having vetoed UN Security Council resolution.

On February 4, Russia and China vetoed the UNSC resolution condemning the Syrian regime’s continuous crackdown on the opposition. The move upset the international community, but Moscow and Beijing said the resolution was unbalanced. While calling on Damascus to end the violence, it did not send the same message to the Syrian opposition.

Meanwhile, foreign ministers from the 15 Security Council nations are due attend an open SC meeting on Monday to assess the aftermath and scope of a year of Arab uprisings. The Syrian conflict is also expected to be discussed.

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are to meet separately as the two countries have serious differences in the approach to the Damascus crisis solution.

No to cuts: Spain demos oppose labor reform (PHOTOS)

Hundreds of thousands of Spaniards have taken to the streets to protest a labor law reform. The demonstrations organized by labor unions are paving the wave for a nation-wide strike planned for March 29.

Workers are objecting to what they see as empowering employers at the expense of the employees under the pretext of an anti-crisis austerity policy.

The protest hit some 60 cities and towns across Spain, with the largest reported in Madrid, Barcelona, Seville and Valencia.

The changes to labor legislation have been confirmed by the Spanish parliament Thursday. The reforms affect most worker entitlements, making the dismissal of employees simpler, reducing salaries, increasing working hours and other measures favoring employers.

The government is aiming at revitalizing the economy, which is among those suffering most from the ongoing European recession. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy wants to prove to investors that Spain will not require a bailout to overcome its problems, unlike Greece, Ireland and Portugal.

Opponents of the reform say it does nothing towards creating new jobs in the country and represents profound social regression. Spain currently has the highest unemployment rate, nearly 23 per cent, among eurozone members.

The previous austerity package introduced by Spain’s government in 2010 resulted in a general strike in late September.

While the Spanish government is struggling to deal with the crisis, citizens on the ground are looking for their own way to make their lives a little better. The municipality of Villamayor de Santiago in country’s center saw a resurgence of the old Spanish currency, the peseta, as an alternative to the troubled euro, reports RT’s Sara Firth.
