“I would like to imagine that at least a few senior politicians woke up this week to seriously wonder what kind of monsters they and their system have created over the years," said IWPR's Head of Asia Alan Davis, referring to Maguindanao massacre.
Recent double bombing in Baghdad has cast doubt on the government's ability to guarantee security and prompted fears such violence may affect voter turnout in anticipated January elections, writes iWPR reporter Ali Karim.
Protests are sweeping the country in the wake of allegations that American troops burned copies of the Quran during a patrol in a province near Kabul, a charge strongly denied by U.S. military officials, writes IWPR reporter Abdullah Obaidi.
“The challenges of organizing a new poll within a few weeks are daunting, and it may ultimately prove impossible to carry out,” forecasts IWPR editor Hafizullah Gardesh.
Jean MacKenzie, IWPR Afghanistan director, assesses reports of low voter turnout and allegations of fraud in country’s presidential and provincial councils elections.
In the first half of this year, 36 activists were killed, according to the Philippine Human Rights Reporting Project, a program of the Institute for War and Peace Reporting.
As a disheartened man in Zimbabwe told IWPR , "Funeral costs are rising each week ... and no matter how much you put in, you are likely to be buried like a pauper."
"[The Change list’s] success has changed the way politics is done in Iraqi Kurdistan," said Hiwa Osman, country director for the Institute for War and Peace Reporting, and former press secretary to President Talabani.
