- 05-23-04 Videos Reveal Americans Bombed Iraqi Wedding (CBC News)
"The videotape obtained Sunday by Associated Press Television News captures a wedding party that survivors say was later attacked by U.S. planes early Wednesday, killing up to 45 people."
" 'There was no evidence of a wedding: no decorations, no musical instruments found, no large quantities of food or leftover servings one would expect from a wedding celebration,' Brig.-Gen. Mark Kimmitt said Saturday. 'There may have been some kind of celebration. Bad people have celebrations, too.' " "An AP reporter and photographer, who interviewed more than a dozen survivors a day after the bombing, were able to identify many of them on the wedding party video - which runs for several hours."
"Prominently displayed on the videotape was a stocky man with close-cropped hair playing an electric organ. Another tape, filmed a day later in Ramadi and obtained by APTN, showed the musician lying dead in a burial shroud - his face clearly visible and wearing the same tan shirt as he wore when he performed."
"[Brig.-Gen.] Kimmitt has denied finding evidence that any children died in the raid although a 'handful of women' - perhaps four to six - were 'caught up in the engagement.' "
"However, an AP reporter obtained names of at least 10 children who relatives said had died. Bodies of five of them were filmed by APTN when the survivors took them to Ramadi for burial Wednesday. Iraqi officials said at least 13 children were killed."
"Haleema Shihab, 32, one of the three wives of Rikad Nayef, said that as the first bombs fell, she grabbed her seven-month old son, Yousef, and clutching the hands of her five-year-old son, Hamza, started running. Her 15-year-old son, Ali, sprinted alongside her. They managed to run for several metres when she fell - her leg fractured."
" 'Hamza was yelling, 'mommy,' " Shihab recalled. 'Ali said he was hurt and that he was bleeding. That's the last time I heard him.' Then another shell fell and injured Shihab's left arm."
" 'Hamza fell from my hand and was gone. Only Yousef stayed in my arms. Ali had been hit and was killed. I couldn't go back,' she said from her hospital bed in Ramadi. Her arm was in a cast."
"She and her stepdaughter, Iqbal - who had caught up with her - hid in a bomb crater. 'We were bleeding from 3 a.m. until sunrise,' Shihab said."
"Soon American soldiers came. One of them kicked her to see if she was alive, she said."
" 'I pretended I was dead so he wouldn't kill me,' said Shihab. She said the soldier was laughing. When Yousef cried, the soldier said: 'No, stop,' said Shihab." 5-04
- Happy People Dancing Across the Earth (NASA.gov)
"Many humans on Earth exhibit periods of happiness, and one method of displaying happiness is dancing. Happiness and dancing transcend political boundaries and occur in practically every human society. Above, Matt Harding traveled through many nations on Earth, started dancing, and filmed the result. The video is perhaps a dramatic example that humans from all over planet Earth feel a common bond as part of a single species. Happiness is frequently contagious -- few people are able to watch the above video without smiling." 07-08
- Kamara, Mariatu: Courage Without Hands (WorldPress.com)
"The Bite of the Mango tells her story so far: of having her hands amputated when she was 12; of being raped by a village man just before that, and of having the son resulting from that assault; of spending years wracked with guilt after the infant died at 10 months, convinced she'd killed him by not loving him enough."
"Hers is not an easy story to read. But The Bite of the Mango brings a new perspective among recent accounts of kids caught in Africa's civil wars – that of a girl child."
"Kamara says she is committed to school, so requests for appearances – already coming in from across the country – will be met when possible. Recent international book fairs have created a buzz and it is expected the international book rights will soon be bought."
"As well, she's a UNICEF Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict. She's also featured in an upcoming documentary about child war victims and was filmed on a visit to Sierra Leone last February, where she toured health and educational facilities."
"Kamara recognizes the opportunity, and responsibility, to give back." 09-08
- Hayek Breast-Feeds Another Woman's Baby (Time.com)
"If anyone on the planet could convince men that breast-feeding moms can have a sex life, it would be Salma Hayek. The beautifully busty actress, on a trip to Sierra Leone to support a tetanus-vaccination project, nursed a starving baby she encountered while being filmed by ABC News. She did this, she told the camera crew, in part out of compassion for a suffering child, but also to help lift the stigma against breast-feeding in Africa, where men often think women can't have sex if they're still nursing." 02-09
