Nicaragua announced last week it is withdrawing from the United Nations Human Rights Council, following a U.N. report that slammed the government’s human rights violations and warned the country was becoming an authoritarian state. The report by a panel of independent human rights experts adds to international pressure on the Nicaraguan government led by President Daniel Ortega and first lady Rosario Murillo, who was recently named co-president. “Nicaragua has become a country of enforced silence and surveillance for those who stay in the country, while those who dare to speak out face a life of exile and denationalization,” says Reed Brody, a member of the U.N. expert panel, who has spent decades investigating rights abuses in Nicaragua. He speaks to Democracy Now! 40 years to the day since the release of his landmark 1985 fact-finding report Contra Terror in Nicaragua, which laid out how U.S. policy attempted to destabilize Nicaragua’s Sandinista government by funding the Contras and their campaign of torture, rape, kidnapping and murder.

Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz! North American legend Dan Flores, the Attenborough of America, tells the historic battle between Coyotes and humans for arch predators of the continent in Coyote America. This bestseller takes us from the native legends of the half man half dog coyotl to the urban dwelling canids of today. The coyotes intelligence, pack reliance and flexibility mirrors the same qualities that got homo sapiens out of the Serenghetti. Since infiltrating the ancient Aztec city of Tenochitilan, coyotes have weaseled their way into our meta consciousness as a Wiley Coyote never willing to settle. Be sure not to anthropomorphize these killers too much, our 4% difference from orangutans is equal to the coyotes 4% divergence from wolves. Enjoy a light hearted episode exploring the wilderness we currently borrow from the long time land lord coyotes.

“It is my duty,” wrote the correspondent of the Times at the liberation of Belsen, “to describe something beyond the imagination of mankind.” That was how I felt in the summer of 1979, arriving in Cambodia in the wake of Pol Pot’s genocidal regime. In the silent, gray humidity, Phnom Penh, the size of Manchester, was like a city that had sustained a nuclear cataclysm which had spared only the buildings. Houses, flats, offices, schools, hotels stood empty and open, as if vacated that day. Personal possessions lay trampled on a path; traffic lights were jammed on red. There was … Continue reading →
