Though FC Barcelona is a sports club containing basketball, handball, hockey, ice-hockey, figure skating, indoor soccer, rugby, baseball, volleyball and women’s soccer, the jewel in the crown has traditionally been organisation football, or the Barcelona Soccer Team, which is what they are known for.

The police will fail at keeping us down

BY LENNY LEPRINCE, SPECIAL TO THE GAZETTE JULY 21, 2011

MONTREAL – In recent weeks, the student movement has been increasingly targeted by GAMMA, the newest haphazard concoction of the Montreal police.

The Guet des activités et des mouvements marginaux et anarchistes is mandated to monitor the activities of “fringe movements” and “anarchists.”

It is reminiscent of times when authoritarian forces arrested people simply for thinking too far on the left, when progressives were disallowed freedom of thought, expression and assembly. Whether the arrests were done for good reasons or not, and whether the people arrested were student activists or members of any political movement, is of little importance. The fact is that the police have created an illegal unit that goes against Quebec’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms by arresting and closely scrutinizing any groups that it deems to be “marginal” or “anarchist.”

THE WAY FORWARD: YOUTH AND VIOLENCE IN SIERRA LEONE – “PEKIN NAR PEKIN” PROJECT

But for us to achieve our vision the country and all stakeholders especially the politicians should get its act together and plan well on the provision of jobs in the coming years. If Sierra Leone fails to plan for its next generation it faces serious problems as a result of growing numbers of young people frustrated by a lack of jobs and opportunities. They could be a force for instability and social unrest. One of the greatest problems confronting Sierra Leone since after the war is the soaring unemployment rate or that the situation has been a key contributor to the incessant communal violence in the country in recent years. Added to the YOUTH PREDICAMENTS is a powerful message from the UN Secretary General BAN KIN MOON on this issue which the country is not given much priority as it should deserve.
