On May 5th 2006 a representative from the Sudan liberation movent and a representative from the Sudanese government signed a peace treaty. It was ment to be as a method of finally ending the genocide in Darfur. However even with the peace treaty signed the genocide in Darfur continued (Daly). The attacks on the people of Darfur gets more worse every single day. In a single attack the combination of the Sudaneese army and the janjaweed 60,000 peoples lives were changed forever (Hueschen).
1. Between 1880 and 1920, the population of the Congo was slashed in half; some ten million people were victims of murder, starvation, exposure, disease and a plummeting birth rate. Why do you believe this carnage has remained virtually unknown in the United States and Europe? Leopold became king of Belgium around the time royalty had to start worrying about Parliament and such things as voters. There was this sort of contest Erurope was going through; countries would rush to get as much African land as they could, usually going after the rich land.
The 37 month length was crucial as the last contract ended on December 15, causing disruption of the New York City economy just in the middle of the holiday season. Now the next contract would expire in mid January. (However, to the shock of many commuters, the union workers rejected the new contract by 7 votes – 11,234 to 11,227 – in a vote on January 20, 2006, but overwhelmingly approved it three months later, even though the offer had been legally retracted.) This was the third strike ever against New York City's Transit Authority. The first was a 12-day walkout in 1966 which prompted the creation of New York's Taylor Law.
There were fixed levels of oil production October and the 1973 Yom Kippur War prompted OPEC to declare an oil embargo, and exports suddenly stopped , as well as prices rocketed to 4 times usual price, as a result in Britain there long queues outside petrol stations. This was worsened with NUM then demanded a huge pay rise in November 1973, causing 3 day weeks in Britain. Something that the administrations of both men suffered from were tensions with the trade unions, with both Wilson and Heath had similar polices which was consequently a disaster for both PM’s. Trade Unions had come to wield such influence due to post war consensus politics and were important in maintaining full employment, as well as being very favourable with the some of the public with opinion polls in the 1960’s showed 60% people had favourable view of them. The trade unions became a problem when real wages for workers was decreasing and the price of goods was increasing and as a result Wild cat strikes broke out and this presented issues for both governments and trade unions.
The Common Dissent After a thirty-year presidency, Porfiro Diaz’s centralized agrarian policies favoring the elite haciendas had caused formidable rebellions in the North and South of Mexico. Diaz established many new technologies and industries only to appeal to the greater European investors. These industries, such as mines and sugar plants, robbed the people of their land, dehumanized working conditions and cut minimum wages resulting in major dissent among the suffering middle class. By October of 1910, during Madero’s release from prison, militant rebellions led by local leaders erupted in the North and South states killing several units of Federal troops. Separated geographically, Poncho Villa in the North and Emiliano Zapata in the South contrasted in both their origin and military strategy, while
The Vietnam War (1954-1975), commonly referred to as “Americas longest war” (however, no longer true to this day), was one of the most poignant wars in American history. For about fifteen years, North Vietnam (Democratic), fought against the American-supported South Vietnam (Republic). The US withdrew troops out of the war in early 1973; however the Vietnamese continued fighting for an additional two years, eventually leading up to the dwindling of South Vietnam under the hand of the North. The US failed to achieve their objective of securing the North from falling under the rule of a communist government. A nation familiar to victory underwent their first major defeat, which would haunt the lives of Americans for centuries I was privileged
Mediation is based more on gathering information to find the parties common interests, to negotiate the needs and then come to a mutual agreement, whereas counselling looks at the person, their perceptions and feelings to bring about self-exploration and change. Mediation and counselling employ some of the same processes and techniques such as, active listening, reframing, paraphrasing and summarizing, however these skills are used in counselling to look at underlying emotional issues, but mediation is purely for resolving conflict (Hodges, 2009). Mediation is time limited whereas counselling can be over many sessions, counselling relies on exploration of emotions and interpretation of these emotions whereas mediation works more on negotiation to reach a solution (Messing, 1993). In this essay it will be shown that there is link between counselling and mediation and that some of the methods used can be useful in a therapeutic approach but will also raise an awareness of good practice in both professions. Mediation is usually a step taken to help avoid legal matters such as going to court, but mediation does have a more formal structure similar to what one may see in a legal framework the
Washington took various other steps to strengthen governmental authority, including suppression of the Whisky Rebellion (1794). To unify the country, he toured the Northeast in 1789 and the South in 1791. He fostered United States interests on the North American continent by treaties with Britain and Spain. Although many people encouraged Washington to seek a third term, he was weary of politics and refused to do so. George Washington enjoyed less than three years of retirement at Mount Vernon, for he died of a throat infection December 14, 1799.
Estimates of Iraqi military deaths range up to 100,000; coalition forces lost about 300 troops. The war also caused extensive damage to the region's environment. The Iraqi regime subsequently faced widespread popular uprisings, which it brutally suppressed. A UN trade embargo remained in effect after the end of the conflict, pending Iraq's compliance with the terms of the armistice. The foremost term was that Iraq destroys its nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons programs.”The 21st century was quiet with wars until the attacks of September 11th happened.
In 1966, the dream of flourishing democracy was diminished when a series of massacres occurred, inter-country arguments came about, and a military coup started the first of a series of military governments. As a response to this take over, the Ibo seceded and declared the independent republic of Biafra. This secession began a civil war that lasted for almost 3 years. Nigeria won the war and the military government controlled both regions.
