Japan, Manila, Jakarta have operating iMC's and civil society horizontal publication fora, which includes
the use of AMARC and Radio amongst protest groups- many stories from London and NYC make it to
Jakarta which operates on Oscailt V 204.
The coverage of the Bali Climate Conference is on Jakarta IMC along with links to cSO forum:-
http://english.csoforum.net

There is no translation button but some of the international reports including the Brad Will coverage is in
English.
http://www.indymedia.org includes a list along the lefthand column to the global sites.
There were mud slides in indonesia today with 66 reported deaths.Every year there are huge toxic forest fires which
barely make it to the international media and the situation regarding violence is also largely ignored.
For the last two weeks there has been curfew and agigtation in Kuala Lumpar with Indian citizens
marching on the British sites to oppose the history of British Colonisation with street fighting and arrests of protestors.
Other information that does not come through is the problem with regard to Timor-Leste where many western journos
do not go and the humanitarian situation is appalling over there, when it flares up the people can identify the
planes and their nationalities which overfly the region.
The civil society groups have been agigtating for change and were largely not allowed to attend the Bali
conference this year, IFEX/AMARC and ISIS have developed international links to increase awareness of
problems in the Pacific Area , they work incredibly closely with the UN and the EFF but their work is wholly
ignored by representaives of commercial media.
Thousands died, there is a corruption case embrogolio outside the private room where
a 'friend of the west' and avowed anti-communist lies dying.
Mainstream media coverage via Reuters and CNN.
Maybe someday my friends who escaped the regime will be able to go back with
their kids, though huge eco disaster, (forest fires and corruption) make it
unattractive.
The president of Indonesia is dying today, the doctors have him on a ventilator with
instructions not to recussitate because of multiple organ failure.
Thousands may have survived the catastrophe at Aceh if a dictator supported by 'foreign
interests'' had not so sucessfully hampered information sharing and freedom of
speech, if distrust of help had not hampered rescue attempts.. cf 'Red Cross' reports
in first comment.
Suharto who stood accused of corruption, massacre and eco destruction, was
always seen 'as a friend of the West'- he lasted 32 years and the catalogue of
abuse is still being collated. though its easy enough to meet and talk to Indonesians
in Ireland who have come here to escape the result of Suharto's Policy.
Its all over the mainstream, very little however on the 2000 agreements between
three globalised economies on the future (ecological and sustainable) of the
Andaman Islands which are under threat because of a 1,400 K roadway
(superhighway) being built through these lands which India had 'preserved'-
The tribes were also relocated and suffered illness and death as a result of Government
policy in the area.
The three economies that are interested in developing the highway are Burma-Myanmar,
India and China.
amazing how the corrupt are always facilitated by the media and the West, who 'tut' after
the deaths. All mainstream from NY Times to Independent to I.T are discussing how
he was disgraced and villified- but not one of them has looked in any depth into
the eco disaster that Indonesia has become. I hear reports of huge forest fires and
human rights abuses from friends on a regular basis- it does not get past local news
unless its a big f***ing earthquake.
