		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday marked the celebration of 50 years of independence for the Democratic Republic of Congo.
In 1960, Congo was finally able to free itself from one of the most brutal regimes in all of colonial Africa: Belgian control. Of all the European colonial powers, the Belgians were notorious as the worst for their ruthless exploitation of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today the city I call home didn&#8217;t feel like home for me. The city centre of Glasgow, like towns and cities all over Scotland, played host to a massive display of weaponry, Union Jacks, and mass recruitment to the British military.
Today is armed forces day, the second time that an annual &#8220;celebration&#8221; has been held, [...]]]></description>

A while ago I did an article about violent videogames, where I jokingly made reference to accidentally shooting civilians in a helicopter gunship. Watching this footage thats been leaked on the internet of insurgents and civilians (including a reuters cameraman) being slaughtered makes you wonder how far war is from a videogame today. The gunship [...]]]></description>

The Daily Mail has whipped itself into a frenzy, calling Zuma a &#8220;vile buffoon&#8221; and a &#8220;sex-obsessed bigot&#8221;, as well as repeatedly calling him &#8220;Zulu Boy&#8221;.
The Telegraph is appalled that he has been invited after  describing the [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Our study shows that the 114 reported drone strikes in northwest Pakistan, including 18 in 2010, from 2004 to the present have killed approximately between 834 and 1,216 individuals, of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When people were protesting against the war in Iraq, &#8220;No war for oil!&#8221; was one of the main slogans around the world. Of course it&#8217;s easy to see that at a simple level the reason why Britain and America invaded Iraq was to do with oil.
