Reporter's trip to Egypt (3)
Natives and descendants
Today, Copts live with Muslims in harmony and mutual respect, at least that's how it seems, and that's what our guide says anyway
The case of Mumia Abu Jamal
Fatal dilemma
The American judicial system already has experience with "fatal error"; between 1973 and 1999, 84 death row inmates were released after a judicial review
On the eve of the world conference against racism
In the shadow of the boycott
While the Jewish community in the US approves of the boycott announcement, the leaders of human rights organizations believe that the US must have a high-level delegation at the Conference
Dossier
Restless Holy Land
For more than a year, renewed conflicts in the Middle East have kept the entire region in a vicious cycle of violence. The short-lived period of the peace process in the last decade of the last century seems to have gone forever. In the Middle East, people are killed again every day, and rocket attacks by Israelis are replaced by tragic raids by Palestinian suicide fighters on buses, restaurants, and cafes. The world is deeply disturbed in the unsuccessful effort to persuade the conflicting parties to seek a rational solution. Is this even possible in such a long-term and complex crisis - what makes the Middle East region truly unique in the world
Reporter's trip to Egypt (2)
There is no more caste
Today, in much of Egypt - in a stunning contrast to the dusty streets and the usual rural scenes, even on the main boulevards - the Internet is ubiquitous
Russia, ten years after the coup
General and major
Crisis in Macedonia
Harvesting or collecting weeds
In this war, everyone is a loser. Hatred and mistrust sown between people cannot be reaped with a "necessary harvest"
Controversies surrounding the cloning of human beings
Perverse fantasies about selection
During last week's conference in Washington, where he explained his intentions, Dr. Antinori experienced the greatest humiliation for a scientist: laughter. Leading English and American molecular biology doctors who have been working on animal cloning for years labeled him a charlatan and megalomaniac
Reporter's trip to Egypt (1)
Long wedding night
The hero of this story, Muhammad, is waiting for the moment when he will appear in front of his childhood friends in a new city shirt, taking two women with him, just like his father did, proud of everything he created.
On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the erection of the Berlin Wall
Ramparts in the service of politics
The Berlin Wall was erected forty years ago and fell twelve years ago. Elsewhere around the world, old walls persist and new walls emerge – even on the Internet
War crisis in Macedonia
A fragile hope for peace
Regardless of the political agreement, which guarantees greater rights to the Albanians in Macedonia, but which also guarantees the unitary character of Macedonia, the line of ethnic demarcation is becoming increasingly visible day by day. The surroundings of Tetovo were practically cleared of Macedonians, and most of the Albanians from Bitola found refuge with their relatives in the western part of Macedonia a month ago. Real estate agencies are working at full steam
A new generation of Germans
Schindler's widow dies in misery
It seems incredible that someone bearing this famous surname would become a social case, but apparently life has not been kind to this woman
Western alliance
The "Discovery" of America
Western Europe realized in the Macedonian impasse that the Cold War discipline no longer applies to the US either
Kursk, a year later
The secret under the waves
Not so far from Murmansk, divers began drilling holes in the double metal shell of the Kursk submarine. Work is fast-tracked to get most of the submarine off the seabed by mid-September. However, there are no guarantees that the work will be done
Justice and biology
The "crazy" dictator
"The case of Pinochet" will remain an evident stain on the conscience of international justice, if it (justice) exists at all
Czech Republic
(Un)equal citizens
Roma in the Czech Republic have been claiming for years that they are exposed to daily abuse and harassment, that the police and the judiciary do not qualify all attacks, even the most serious crimes, as racist, and warn of a very lenient criminal policy
Slovenia vs. Croatia
Trump, wholesale
Only when the official Ljubljana gets rid of the hazardous waste from the Krško nuclear plant and after 2025 conserves the long-depreciated power plant, will we know what the true price of the related trade is, which ended the ten-year demarcation dispute with the government from Zagreb
Macedonian crisis
Neither war nor peace
The rallies that are held almost every other day in front of the Assembly of Macedonia are organized mostly spontaneously or by marginal parties and organizations, and only anti-Albanian and anti-Western slogans are more common at them. The stoning of the German, British, and American embassies and McDonald's restaurants, the burning of vehicles of foreign organizations, and the beating of Western journalists became a regular feature of these rallies.
The Czech-German-Austrian dispute
Stop Temelin, bitte
The Czech Republic offers the Germans rather scant evidence of the complete safety of its nuclear power plant, which is known worldwide as a unique hybrid of old Soviet and modern American technology.
The ten worst in the world
North Korea is by far the first
The main characteristics are tyranny, chaos and deep-rooted corruption, where the lesser presence of one of these factors usually diminishes the presence of the others.
Genoa in the Serbian way
After a little more than half a year of isolation, on Monday, July 23, 2001, an anti-globalization protest was organized for the first time in front of the Italian embassy in Belgrade.
Stormy G-8 meeting in Genoa
Blood summit
Announced as a meeting of the world's most powerful people who themselves decide on everything that is important, paradoxically, on the very first day, it faded into the background. In the foreground were the protesters and the violence that, unfortunately, follows them from Seattle. Even their demands - the motto of these protests was the cancellation of debts to poor countries - the news reports stopped mentioning, because the violence destroyed all the nobility they contain
Northwest of Russia
Europe, getting closer
Hopes and fears are growing as the further expansion of the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty towards the Baltic is more certain
Reconstruction of the African continent
"Black" Renaissance
Today, the African Union seems more like a dream than a prospect. But it is known that without dreams there is no realization of them
Meeting between Jiang Zemin and Vladimir Putin in Moscow
Who needs whom
Washington can sleep easy... this is not some dark plan by current and former communists to counter its dominance on the world political stage
Cousin Simeon
He himself became the emperor as a small child, when his father Boris died on August 28, 1943, as it is written in encyclopedias, "under unexplained circumstances."
Bulgaria
Will the emperor be able to rule?
If Simeon really wants the return of the monarchy, he has no choice but to work for the welfare of the people and the state. If he fails, it will be his personal disappointment, but also another disappointment for Bulgarians who expect a better future.
