Go Green & Support War Against Terrorism

November 6, 2009 by ·

go green & support war against terrorism_A peace movement against terrorism is building up across the world and on November 9, people across the globe, including Dubai, will ‘go green’ for a day in support of Pakistanis’ peace movement against terror.

Powered through the social networking sites, the Dhaani Movement has called on all supporters of Pakistan to unite through colours and wear green on this day.

The two-pronged aggressive movement will also push for a ‘global green day’ on January 1, 2010. Already Over 20,000 people from 35 countries have confirmed participation in the event through networking sites such as Facebook and Orkut .

The majority of those attending are from Pakistan followed by the UAE, Saudi Arabia, as well as from the UK, US and Australia. Creator of the movement, Dubai-based Anthony J. Permal says that the aim of Dhaani is to build the moral spirit of Pakistanis in this time of tragedy and uncertainty.

“Pakistanis need to feel a sense of unity and brotherhood in this despair and the Dhaani Movement aims to bring that sense to them,” he says.

“By witnessing their fellow Pakistanis and other nationalities wearing green, the bond will be made stronger and hope will return,” he adds.

The original plan was to hold the event on November 1 but due to popular demand the date was extended, says Permal who is also member of the Future Leaders of Pakistan, UAE Chapter.

“November 9 is a day long event and no matter where you are — you wear green. Simple. Wear it yourself and make your friends and family wear it, your colleagues wear it,” says Permal.

“On January 1, the whole planet wears green. The campaign for Dhaani’s global movement wherein all nationalities join is in wearing green on New Year’s Day in solidarity with Pakistanis to fight terrorism will be launched on November 9,” he added.

Postings on the FB’s Dhaani’s link reads, “Let the demoralized Pakistanis know that we are with them, that the world is not against them. We can give them hope once more.”

“We cannot go to war, we cannot go fight. But we can make a statement and tell them you cannot destroy our spirit.” By Asma Ali Zain, Khaleej Times

RP-China Ties Chill Over Spratlys Law

September 22, 2009 by ·

rp-china ties chill over spratly's law_A Philippine law passed last year that spelt out Manila’s claims to parts of the disputed Spratly Islands has had a “negative” effect on relations with China, Beijing’s envoy said Tuesday.

The “baselines act” signed by President Gloria Arroyo spells out Manila’s claims to parts of the group of islands and atolls in the South China Sea that is also claimed in whole or in part by Brunei, China, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam.

Signing the law “turned out to be very negative for bilateral relations,” Ambassador Liu Jianchao told foreign correspondents.

“Our stand is indisputable sovereignty by China over the islands in the South China Sea and adjacent waters,” Liu said. He said Beijing had made its stand “very clear” to the Philippine government and was expecting Manila to resolve the issue.

The baselines law “encroaches” on China’s sovereignty and was a violation of a code of conduct adopted by all claimants to refrain from making unilateral moves that could disturb the status quo in the area.

Liu however said China was still for the “peaceful settlement” of the overlapping claims, even as he acknowledged this could take a long time to resolve. The ambassador said claims to the islands were a bilateral issue between China and the countries involved.

“We are opposed to the internationalization of the dispute, or its regionalization,” he said. “We are ready to work with countries on a bilateral basis.”

Liu said the rival claimants were however on the right track by agreeing to jointly conduct studies in the area and to possibly share vast natural resources or oil reputed to be lying under the islands.

China was ready to listen to proposals by its smaller neighbors on joint cooperation and development in the area, he said. “I think it will take some time. We can’t do it very soon, so we are ready to have very serious and business-like consultations with other countries concerned,” he said.

There have been deadly armed confrontations among naval forces by claimants to the Spratlys, called Nansha islands by China, in the past.
