 Life remains miserable for Iraqis as US troops withdraw

emara ArticlesBy Serena Chaudhry
Tuesday, August 31, 2010
Kareem Hassan Abboud’s family of seven share a two-room house in a makeshift squatter camp in the mainly Shi’ite district of Chukook in north-western Baghdad. Sewage muddies the dirt road outside.
The 59-year-old fisherman and his family were forced to move there four years ago when sectarian violence between majority Shi’ites and once dominant Sunnis raged in Iraq, set off by the 2003 US-led invasion to oust Saddam.

As US combat operations come to a close today, seven and a half years later, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis like Abboud, who fled mixed-sect neighbourhoods as bodies piled up in the street, are living in squalor.

emara ArticlesMinister Carey pays tribute to Mick Lally ‘a master of stage and screen in Irish and English’
Leagan Gaeilge thíos/Irish version below
Press release                                                           31 August 2010
The Minister for Community, Equality and Gaeltacht Affairs, Pat Carey TD has paid tribute to the actor Mick Lally who died today aged 64 and offered his condolences to Mr. Lally’s family and friends.
“Through his consummate professionalism, humility and generosity of spirit as an actor and as a man, Mick Lally earned a special place in the hearts of Irish people. He was one of our greatest actors and he leaves behind a body of work that will endure. He brought a depth of feeling and authenticity to every role he played and he had a wonderful ability to get to the heart of a character and to bring that character to life. His great humanity always shone through in his work on stage and screen”.
Minister Carey paid particular tribute to Lally’s work in Irish language theatre, television and film and said that he would be fondly remembered by the Irish language community.
“A native speaker from Mayo, Mick was a great example to those who believe in the vitality and importance of Irish. He advocated for the language he loved with characteristic dignity and he did some of his finest work in Irish. Tá laoch ar lár gan aon amhras.”

 Poetry: What the Last Evening Will Be Like

Poetryby Edward Hirsch

You're sitting at a small bay window
in an empty café by the sea.
It's nightfall, and the owner is locking up,
though you're still hunched over the radiator,
which is slowly losing warmth.
