French intelligence bill set to give PM sweeping powers By Nikolaj Nielsen-euobserver
BRUSSELS, 2. Apr, 09:24-French lawmakers on Wednesday (1 April) discussed an intelligence bill that aims to give sweeping surveillance powers to internal security agencies and the prime minister's office. Announced a day after the museum terrorist attacks in Tunis, the bill allows agencies attached to the economy, defence and interior ministries to spy on people by hacking their computers or mobile phones without the need for a warrant.Anyone suspected of terrorism or terrorism links, even incidentally, could be a target.Prime minister Manuel Valls has said the bill is needed to detect possible terrorist activities in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris in January.His office would be granted news powers to order interceptions without having to resort to any court or judicial oversight.The bill provides for a special commission that can only issue non-binding recommendations as a counter-balance.Some politicians and many civil liberties groups have criticised the draft proposals.Herve Morin, a former defence minister and member of the centrist UDI party, said he had "strong reservations" about the law in its current form.Rights groups say the lack of early judicial control on surveillance increases the risk of government abuse and undermines privacy rights of people not suspected of any crime.“Such mass surveillance systems will undermine internet users' privacy, have the potential to chill free expression, and could be subject to serious abuse,” said Privacy International, Amnesty International, FIDH, the French League for Human Rights and Reporters Without Borders in a joint statement.The bill proposes implanting surveillance technology with Internet service providers and telecommunications companies to monitor communications for analysis.
Agencies would also be allowed to set up so-called IMSI-catcher devices to intercept the content of mobile phone communications. They can also install spyware to access instant messaging and photograph and film people in private spaces.Paris-based civil liberties group La Quadrature du Net has described the bill as a “carte blanche for intelligence agencies and the executive”.The group says the bill includes techniques used by US and British spy hubs by authoring the bulk collection of data and including provisions on international surveillance.Reporters Without Borders says it is a threat to journalists because sources would no longer be secured or confidential.Wording in the bill does not ban agencies to monitor reporters who may be acting as an “intermediary” to possible suspects.Christophe Deloire, secretary general of the journalist organisation, last week said the law needs to “include safeguards for the right of journalists to work without being spied on, or else it will constitute a grave violation of media freedom.”
Greece unveils reforms, says euro 'viability' at stake By Benjamin Fox-euobserver
BRUSSELS, 2. Apr, 07:08-The Greek government presented a revised plan to its eurozone partners on Wednesday, promising that it would fulfil its debt repayment obligations over the next two weeks.The 26-page document, leaked to the Financial Times on Wednesday (1 April), contains a raft of tax increases aimed at boosting treasury coffers by between €4.6 billion and €6.1 billion, alongside an extra €1.1 billion in spending commitments, most of which comes from increases to state pensions. The blueprint forecasts that the Greek economy can record a primary surplus of 1.2 percent in 2015.In a statement attached to the proposal, which will now need approval by eurozone finance ministers, the Greek government called for “a speedy and successful conclusion to the Final Review, so that short-term funding issues can be resolved and current crippling financial and economic uncertainties brought to an end.”It added that the “viability” of the single currency was at stake in securing an agreement.Alexis Tsipras’ government must have a new set of economic reform proposals signed off by fellow governments in order to unlock the remaining €7.2 billion in its bailout fund. Ministers will next meet in Brussels on 24 April.“We sent a new document today to the Brussels Group which is more specific and quantified," a Greek finance ministry official told reporters on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the Greek treasury expects the country’s economy to grow by 1.4 percent in 2015 - down from the previous forecast of 2.9 percent - before rising to 3.7 percent in 2016.It also includes plans to create a ‘bad bank’, named the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund, to take control of non-performing loans and restore stability to the country’s fragile banking sector which is increasingly reliant on the European Central Bank.For its part, the ECB announced on Wednesday that it would increase the size of its emergency cash facility for Greek banks by €700 million to €71.8 billion.The Athens government also moved quickly to distance itself from remarks made by Interior Minister Nikos Voutsis to Germany's Spiegel news magazine that Greece might default on a €450 million payment to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) due next week if it did not receive a new injection of cash from its creditors.The Greek government puts the country's financing needs in 2015 at €19 billion. But it has sharply revised down the amount of money it expects to get from privatising more of the country’s state assets to €1.5 billion from the €4 billion envisaged by the agreement with the previous government.Greece faces repayments of over €3 billion over the course of April, and a total of around €16 billion over the next four months to redeem treasury bills and repay loans to the ECB and IMF.The Economist has estimated that Greece’s repayments will amount to roughly 30 percent of its economic output over the next six months.
04/ 6/2015 -“The persecution of Christians is an unacceptable crime”-The Pope said this at the Regina Coeli prayer today, emphasising that “the International Community must not remain silent and inert” and recalling that “Christ’s resurrection brightens up our darkest moments”-giacomo galeazzi
vatican city-“The International Community must not remain silent and inert in the face of the persecution of Christians,” Pope Francis urged, adding that it would do us good to read the Gospel every day. The Pope called for help for those in the world who are persecuted, exiled, killed and beheaded simply because they are Christians. They are our martyrs of today and there are many of them, we can say that there are more of them now than there were in other times.” “I hope that the International Community will not stand by, silent and inert, as we witness this unacceptable crime, which represents a worrying violation of the most basic human rights. I earnestly hope that the International Community will not turn a blind eye,” Francis said during the Regina Coeli prayer.The Pope encouraged peaceful initiatives and took the presence in St. Peter’s Square of a delegation from the Shalom movement as an opportunity to give impetus to his appeal. The delegation “was completing the last leg of a solidarity relay to spread awareness about the persecution of Christians around the world” and was among the crowd of pilgrims present in St. Peter’s Square today. “Your itinerary through the streets has come to and end,” the Pope told the Shalom delegation, “but everyone must continue the spiritual path of intense prayer”. “The Gospel must” therefore “be brought to the peripheries and we must carry it with us in our darkest moments.”After the Resurrection it was Jesus who asked his people for the Gospel message to start in the peripheries. The Pope commented on the Risen Christ’s encounter with the women at the tomb. At the Regina Coeli, which in this liturgical time replaces the Angelus, the Pope pronounced an intense reflection on evangelisation from the window of the Apostolic Palace Study overlooking St. Peter’s Square. Jesus asks the women to “tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me”. Galilee is the “periphery” where Jesus had began his preaching and this is where the Gospel of the Resurrection will start from once again, so that it may be proclaimed to all and everyone may meet Him, the Risen Christ, present and active through history.” “He is here with us in this square today ,” Francis added off the cuff.“We announce Christ’s resurrection when his light brightens up the darkest moments of our life and we can share it with others; when we are able to smile with those who smile and cry with those who cry; when we walk alongside those who are sad and risk losing hope; when we describe our experience of faith to those who are in search of meaning and happiness,” Francis said before the Marian prayer which replaces the Angelus during the Easter period. Francis’ reflections were inspired by the Risen Christ’s call to his male and female disciples, an unusual expression which he used during the Easter Vigil. “This is the announcement the Church has repeated ever since the very first day: ‘Christ is risen!’” And through the sacrament of Baptism, in Him, we too are risen, we passed from death to life, from the slavery of sin to the freedom of love. This is the good news we are called to bring to others and in every context, with the impulse of the Holy Spirit.”According to Francis “Faith in the resurrection of Jesus and the hope He has brought to us is the most beautiful gift that a Christian can and must offer his brothers and sisters. To one and all, therefore, do not tire of repeating: Christ is risen! Let s repeat it with words but above all by bearing witness of it in our own lives. The good news of the Resurrection should shine on our face, in our feelings and in our behaviour, in the way in which we treat others.” “We are within the Octave of Easter, when we feel the joy of the Resurrection,” the Pope underlined. “Curiously”, the Liturgy treats the entire Octave – eight days – of Easter as one day, to help us enter into the mystery of the feast, so that its grace may impress itself upon one’s heart and life. Easter is the even which brought about radical change in every human being, in history and in the world: it is the triumph of life over death; it is a feast of reawakening and of regeneration. Let us allow our lives to be conquered and transformed by the Resurrection.”“Let us ask the Virgin Mary, a silent witness of her Son’s death and resurrection, to allow the joy of Easter to grow within us,” Francis said addressing the crowds of faithful. “We do now with the recitation of the Regina Coeli. In this prayer with the Alleluia chorus, we ask the Virgin Mary to fill us with joy because He whom she bore in her belly has risen as promised and let us entrust ourselves to her intercession.” “Our joy is in fact a reflection of Mary’s joy because it is She who watched over and continues to watch over Jesus’ events, with faith. So let us recite this prayer with the emotion of children who are happy because their Mother is happy.” “I wish each and every one of you a joyful and peaceful week in the joy of Christ’s Resurrection. In order to live this period more intensely it would be good for us to read a passage on the Resurrection from the Gospel every day.”

Kenya says it destroys two al Shabaab camps in Somalia-Reuters By Drazen Jorgic and Edith Honan-apr 6,15-yahoonews
NAIROBI (Reuters) - The Kenyan air force has destroyed two al Shabaab camps in Somalia, it said on Monday, in the first major military response since the Islamist group massacred students at a Kenyan university last week.Al Shabaab denied the camps were hit, saying the air force bombs fell on farmland. Gunmen from the al Qaeda-aligned group killed 148 people on Thursday when they stormed the Garissa University College campus, some 200 km (120 miles) from the Somali border.Jets pounded the camps in the Gedo region on the other side of the frontier on Sunday, Kenya Defence Forces spokesman David Obonyo said. The mission was part of efforts to stop fighters from those camps carrying out cross-border raids into Kenya."Our aerial images show that the camps were completely destroyed," he said, though cloud cover made it difficult to estimate the death toll.Al Shabaab has killed more than 400 people on Kenyan soil in the last two years, including 67 during a siege at Nairobi's Westgate mall in 2013, piling political pressure on President Uhuru Kenyatta that intensified with last week's killings.Kenya has struggled to stop the flow of militants and weapons across its porous 700-km border with Somalia, and the violence has also damaged the economy by scaring away tourists and investors.Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, al Shabaab's military operations spokesman, told Reuters that none of its camps were damaged in Sunday's raid, and that the fighter jets had instead struck farmland."Kenya has not targeted any of our bases," he said.The rural Gedo region of Somalia is difficult to reach and reports about the raid could not be verified independently.One of the four gunmen in the Garissa attack was the son of a Kenyan government official from Mandera county, which borders Gedo. Abdirahim Abdullahi, an ethnic Somali, was reported missing by his father after he crossed into Somalia to join al Shabaab. All four gunmen were killed in the siege. Kenyatta said on Saturday the planners and financiers of Islamist attacks were "deeply embedded" within Kenyan society and urged the Muslim community to do more to root out radicalization.A government source on Monday said governors, members of parliament and security officials from regions bordering Somalia would compile a list of people suspected to have joined al Shabaab or been radicalized by Islamists."The message is very clear: we have to deal with this problem once and for all," said the official, adding that regional governors discussed the idea with Kenyatta on Monday.Garissa was the most deadly attack on Kenyan soil since al Qaeda bombed the U.S. embassy in Nairobi in 1998, killing more than 200 people and wounding thousands.
'PULL OUT OF SOMALIA'
In the capital Nairobi, where local media have become increasingly critical of what they call a bungled security response to the Garissa attack, dozens of grieving families are still trying to identify bodies at the city's mortuary."(The security services) waited too long and the terrorists had so much time to kill our kids," said Isaac Mutisya, whose 23-year-old daughter Risper Mutindi Kasyoka is among the dead.Opposition leader Raila Odinga, who was prime minister when Kenya sent troops into Somalia in 2011 to battle al Shabaab, said the government should start thinking about pulling out, just as the United States withdrew troops after 18 soldiers were killed in the 1993 Black Hawk Down incident in Mogadishu."The U.S. used to have many soldiers in Somalia but it recalled them. Kenya should also remove its military officers from Somalia," Odinga said on Sunday, according to comments in Monday's edition of Kenya's Standard newspaper.Kenyatta's spokesman Manoah Esipisu said Kenya had no plan to pull out: "When we were attacked (by al Qaeda) in 1998, we were not in Somalia. So the idea that pulling out of Somalia will diminish our vulnerability to attacks is complete nonsense."Kenyan troops, who are fighting al Shabaab as part of a U.N.-backed African Union peacekeeping mission, have wrested swathes of territory from the Islamist group.Western diplomats, however, say this loss of territory has not weakened al Shabaab's capacity to carry out one-off guerilla-style attacks in Somalia or abroad.(Additional reporting by Feisal Omar in Mogadishu; Writing by Drazen Jorgic; editing by Ruth Pitchford and John Stonestreet)
Yemeni fighters attack Houthis as aid flights delayed-Reuters By Mohammed Mukhashaf-apr 6,15-yahoonews
ADEN (Reuters) - Southern Yemeni militias backed by warplanes from a Saudi-led coalition attacked Houthi fighters across several provinces in south Yemen on Monday, driving the Shi'ite rebel forces from some of their positions, witnesses and militia sources said.The southern fighters' gains came on the 12th day of an air campaign by Saudi Arabia and mainly Gulf Arab allies trying to stem advances by the Iran-allied Houthis, who control the capital Sanaa and have advanced on the southern city of Aden.The fighting has killed hundreds of people, cut off water and electricity supplies and led the United Nations children's agency UNICEF to warn that Yemen is heading towards a humanitarian disaster.Saudi Arabia, the main Sunni Arab power in the Gulf, launched the air campaign on March 26 to try to contain the Shi'ite Houthis and restore President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who has fled Aden for refuge in Riyadh.The International Committee of the Red Cross and UNICEF plan to fly aid planes into Yemen on Tuesday, but the missions have been delayed as they seek clearance from Arab states waging the air strikes and hunt for planes prepared to fly to Yemen.In Aden, Houthi forces gathered at the edge of the main port area on Monday but pulled out of two residential quarters on its fringes, residents told Reuters. Around 60 people were killed in heavy fighting in the area on Sunday, they said.Explosions shook Aden's suburbs as residents reported a foreign warship shelling Houthi positions on the outskirts.Military momentum is hard to judge in a disjointed conflict playing out across hundreds of miles of mountains, deserts and coastal positions, but in the southern provinces surrounding Aden the Houthis' foes said they had made gains.Residents in Dhalea, north of Aden, said air strikes hit a local government compound on the northern edge of the town and a military base on its outskirts which were both taken over by Houthis. They said buildings were on fire and reported loud explosions. Militia fighters said coalition planes also dropped supplies - the first time they had done so outside Aden - including mortars, rocket-propelled grenades, rifles, ammunition, telecommunications equipment and night goggles.Southern militias reported cutting off two roads in Abyan province, east of Aden, leading to the port city, after clashes with the Houthis.Residents near al-Anad air base, once home to U.S. military personnel fighting a covert drone war with al Qaeda in Yemen, said dozens of Houthi and allied fighters were withdrawing north after the site was bombed by coalition jets.
HEAVY ADEN FIGHTING
Saudi Arabia has taken the lead in military operations against the Houthis, backed by air forces from its Gulf allies the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar. It says it also has support from Jordan, Egypt, Sudan, Morocco and Pakistan.Pakistan has yet to spell out what support it will provide, and its parliament was meeting on Monday to discuss what the defense minister said was a request from Riyadh for military aircraft, warships and soldiers.Street fighting and heavy shelling have torn through Aden for several days. The city is the last bastion of support for the Saudi-backed Hadi, though it is unclear whether the southern fighters are battling for him or for local territory.Food, water and electricity shortages have mounted throughout the country but especially in Aden, where combat has shut ports and cut land routes from the city."How are we supposed to live without water and electricity?" pleaded Fatima, a housewife walking through the city streets with her young children.She clutched a yellow plastic jerry can, like dozens of other residents on the streets and in queues seeking water from public wells or mosque faucets after supplies at home dried up.The International Committee of the Red Cross, which for days blamed the Saudi-led coalition for delays, told Reuters on Monday that Saudi Arabia had granted permission for an aid shipment late on Saturday but problems in chartering planes would likely delay the aid's arrival until Tuesday."We are still working on getting the plane to Sanaa. It's a bit difficult with the logistics because there are not that many companies or cargo planes willing to fly into a conflict zone," said Marie Claire Feghali, a Red Cross spokesperson.The ICRC is aiming to get 48 tonnes of medical supplies into Yemen by plane. It is also trying to get staff by boat from Djibouti to Aden, but fighting has complicated efforts."Today fighting was taking place in Aden port so the security situation isn't getting any better," said another ICRC spokeswoman, Sitar Jabeen.At least eight people were killed in an air strike before dawn in the suburbs of the northern city of Saadah, home of the Houthi movement which spread from its mountain stronghold to take over the capital Sanaa six months ago.A Houthi spokesman said the dead included women and children.Local officials said strikes also hit air defense and coastal military units near the Red Sea port of Hodaida, and targets on the outskirts of Aden. They also hit a bridge on the road south to Aden, apparently trying to block the Houthis from sending reinforcements to their fighters in the city.The United Nations said on Thursday that more than 500 people had been killed in two weeks of fighting in Yemen, while the Red Cross has appealed for an immediate 24-hour pause in fighting to allow aid into the country.(Additional reporting by Noah Browning in Dubai, Mohammad Ghobari in Cairo, Katharine Houreld in Islamabad and Stephanie Nebehay in Geneva; Writing by Dominic Evans; Editing by Giles Elgood)

Syrian insurgents kidnap then release 300 Kurds: Kurdish official-Reuters By Oliver Holmes-apr 6,15-yahoonews
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Islamist insurgents have released 300 Kurdish men in the country's north who were taken captive on Sunday, a Kurdish official said on Monday.Nawaf Khalil, a spokesman for the Kurdish PYD party in Europe, told Reuters by phone that the "men were released by the Islamist militant groups who were holding them".The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group, which tracks the conflict from Britain, also said the Kurds had been released. However, it said around 200 had been held, taken at several checkpoints over the past two days.Khalil and another Kurdish official reported earlier on Monday that the men were taken on Sunday evening.Idris Nassan, an official in the Kobani canton, said they were kidnapped by al Qaeda's official Syrian wing, the Nusra Front, as they were traveling from the town of Afrin, which is under Kurdish control, to the cities of Aleppo and the capital Damascus."They left women and children but they kidnapped 300 men and young people," he said."They captured them in Tuqad village, 20 km (12 miles) west of Aleppo and then they moved them to al-Dana town in Idlib province," he said. The Nusra Front was part of an alliance of militant groups that captured Idlib city last month.The Nusra Front has not claimed the kidnapping. Syrian state media did not report the incident.Kurdish militia and Islamist militants have fought territorial disputes in Syria during the four-year civil war. Some hardline Syrian Islamist militants consider Kurds heretics.The Observatory also reported on Monday that insurgents from Jaish al-Mujahideen had traded 25 kidnapped women and children in exchange for one of their commanders.(Additional reporting by Humeyra Pamuk in Istanbul; Editing by Alison Williams)
PLO delegation to hold talks with Syria on Yarmuk relief-AFP-apr 6,15-yahoonews
Ramallah (Palestinian Territories) (AFP) - A Palestinian official said Monday a delegation was heading to Damascus for talks on helping residents inside the Yarmuk refugee camp, parts of which have been overrun by the Islamic State group.Hundreds of families have been evacuated from the camp in a southern neighbourhood of Damascus after IS jihadists launched on attack on Wednesday.Palestinian forces inside Yarmuk are largely surrounded by IS fighters who have captured large parts of the camp.Ahmed Majdalani, an official with the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), said the delegation would focus its efforts on providing security and assistance to the camp."We will discuss with a number of Syrian officials securing the relief corridor opened yesterday to deliver humanitarian aid and getting civilians out so they won't become human shields for the terrorist Daesh group," he said, using an Arabic acronym for IS.The delegation will also hold meetings with various Palestinian factions to discuss how to counter IS threats, said Majdalani, who is heading the group.Majdalani accused IS militants of "seeking to control the whole camp" and to use it "as a springboard for attacks on the Syrian capital Damascus because of its strategic location".The visit came after talks with officials in several Arab countries."We have an Arab and international plan to stop the violence perpetrated against our people," Majdalani told AFP.In a statement, the PLO called for "all sides to immediately agree to protect the camp from efforts to turn it into a battlefield".It also called for civilians to be granted relief corridors and humanitarian and medical assistance.

The UN Security Council on Monday demanded humanitarian aid access to the refugees.The 15-member body called "for the protection of civilians in the camp for ensuring a humanitarian access to the area including by providing life-saving assistance," said Jordan's ambassador Dina Kawar, the council chair this month.Since the jihadist advance began, regime forces have pounded the camp with shells and barrel bombs, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitoring group.Dozens of Hamas and Islamic Jihad supporters meanwhile protested in Gaza on Monday to demand an end to the violence in Yarmuk."We demand the attackers immediately stop their killing," former Hamas justice minister Mohamed Faraj al-Ghul told protesters outside the parliament building in the Gaza Strip.Yarmuk "must be a neutral place, far from the madness of war," he said, urging an international intervention to "stop the killing".Yarmuk was once a thriving neighbourhood home to 160,000 Palestinian refugees and Syrians but has been caught up in the country's civil unrest which began in 2011.It has been besieged by regime forces for more than a year and only about 18,000 residents are estimated to remain in the camp after many fled the fighting.
IS, which has seized control of large parts of Syria and Iraq, has fought not only against President Bashar al-Assad's regime but also against other rebel groups as it seeks to expand the territory under its control.

French intelligence bill set to give PM sweeping powers By Nikolaj Nielsen-euobserver
BRUSSELS, 2. Apr, 09:24-French lawmakers on Wednesday (1 April) discussed an intelligence bill that aims to give sweeping surveillance powers to internal security agencies and the prime minister's office. Announced a day after the museum terrorist attacks in Tunis, the bill allows agencies attached to the economy, defence and interior ministries to spy on people by hacking their computers or mobile phones without the need for a warrant.Anyone suspected of terrorism or terrorism links, even incidentally, could be a target.Prime minister Manuel Valls has said the bill is needed to detect possible terrorist activities in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris in January.His office would be granted news powers to order interceptions without having to resort to any court or judicial oversight.The bill provides for a special commission that can only issue non-binding recommendations as a counter-balance.Some politicians and many civil liberties groups have criticised the draft proposals.Herve Morin, a former defence minister and member of the centrist UDI party, said he had "strong reservations" about the law in its current form.Rights groups say the lack of early judicial control on surveillance increases the risk of government abuse and undermines privacy rights of people not suspected of any crime.“Such mass surveillance systems will undermine internet users' privacy, have the potential to chill free expression, and could be subject to serious abuse,” said Privacy International, Amnesty International, FIDH, the French League for Human Rights and Reporters Without Borders in a joint statement.The bill proposes implanting surveillance technology with Internet service providers and telecommunications companies to monitor communications for analysis.
Agencies would also be allowed to set up so-called IMSI-catcher devices to intercept the content of mobile phone communications. They can also install spyware to access instant messaging and photograph and film people in private spaces.Paris-based civil liberties group La Quadrature du Net has described the bill as a “carte blanche for intelligence agencies and the executive”.The group says the bill includes techniques used by US and British spy hubs by authoring the bulk collection of data and including provisions on international surveillance.Reporters Without Borders says it is a threat to journalists because sources would no longer be secured or confidential.Wording in the bill does not ban agencies to monitor reporters who may be acting as an “intermediary” to possible suspects.Christophe Deloire, secretary general of the journalist organisation, last week said the law needs to “include safeguards for the right of journalists to work without being spied on, or else it will constitute a grave violation of media freedom.”
Greece unveils reforms, says euro 'viability' at stake By Benjamin Fox-euobserver
BRUSSELS, 2. Apr, 07:08-The Greek government presented a revised plan to its eurozone partners on Wednesday, promising that it would fulfil its debt repayment obligations over the next two weeks.The 26-page document, leaked to the Financial Times on Wednesday (1 April), contains a raft of tax increases aimed at boosting treasury coffers by between €4.6 billion and €6.1 billion, alongside an extra €1.1 billion in spending commitments, most of which comes from increases to state pensions. The blueprint forecasts that the Greek economy can record a primary surplus of 1.2 percent in 2015.In a statement attached to the proposal, which will now need approval by eurozone finance ministers, the Greek government called for “a speedy and successful conclusion to the Final Review, so that short-term funding issues can be resolved and current crippling financial and economic uncertainties brought to an end.”It added that the “viability” of the single currency was at stake in securing an agreement.Alexis Tsipras’ government must have a new set of economic reform proposals signed off by fellow governments in order to unlock the remaining €7.2 billion in its bailout fund. Ministers will next meet in Brussels on 24 April.“We sent a new document today to the Brussels Group which is more specific and quantified," a Greek finance ministry official told reporters on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the Greek treasury expects the country’s economy to grow by 1.4 percent in 2015 - down from the previous forecast of 2.9 percent - before rising to 3.7 percent in 2016.It also includes plans to create a ‘bad bank’, named the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund, to take control of non-performing loans and restore stability to the country’s fragile banking sector which is increasingly reliant on the European Central Bank.For its part, the ECB announced on Wednesday that it would increase the size of its emergency cash facility for Greek banks by €700 million to €71.8 billion.The Athens government also moved quickly to distance itself from remarks made by Interior Minister Nikos Voutsis to Germany's Spiegel news magazine that Greece might default on a €450 million payment to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) due next week if it did not receive a new injection of cash from its creditors.The Greek government puts the country's financing needs in 2015 at €19 billion. But it has sharply revised down the amount of money it expects to get from privatising more of the country’s state assets to €1.5 billion from the €4 billion envisaged by the agreement with the previous government.Greece faces repayments of over €3 billion over the course of April, and a total of around €16 billion over the next four months to redeem treasury bills and repay loans to the ECB and IMF.The Economist has estimated that Greece’s repayments will amount to roughly 30 percent of its economic output over the next six months.
04/ 6/2015 -“The persecution of Christians is an unacceptable crime”-The Pope said this at the Regina Coeli prayer today, emphasising that “the International Community must not remain silent and inert” and recalling that “Christ’s resurrection brightens up our darkest moments”-giacomo galeazzi
vatican city-“The International Community must not remain silent and inert in the face of the persecution of Christians,” Pope Francis urged, adding that it would do us good to read the Gospel every day. The Pope called for help for those in the world who are persecuted, exiled, killed and beheaded simply because they are Christians. They are our martyrs of today and there are many of them, we can say that there are more of them now than there were in other times.” “I hope that the International Community will not stand by, silent and inert, as we witness this unacceptable crime, which represents a worrying violation of the most basic human rights. I earnestly hope that the International Community will not turn a blind eye,” Francis said during the Regina Coeli prayer.The Pope encouraged peaceful initiatives and took the presence in St. Peter’s Square of a delegation from the Shalom movement as an opportunity to give impetus to his appeal. The delegation “was completing the last leg of a solidarity relay to spread awareness about the persecution of Christians around the world” and was among the crowd of pilgrims present in St. Peter’s Square today. “Your itinerary through the streets has come to and end,” the Pope told the Shalom delegation, “but everyone must continue the spiritual path of intense prayer”. “The Gospel must” therefore “be brought to the peripheries and we must carry it with us in our darkest moments.”After the Resurrection it was Jesus who asked his people for the Gospel message to start in the peripheries. The Pope commented on the Risen Christ’s encounter with the women at the tomb. At the Regina Coeli, which in this liturgical time replaces the Angelus, the Pope pronounced an intense reflection on evangelisation from the window of the Apostolic Palace Study overlooking St. Peter’s Square. Jesus asks the women to “tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me”. Galilee is the “periphery” where Jesus had began his preaching and this is where the Gospel of the Resurrection will start from once again, so that it may be proclaimed to all and everyone may meet Him, the Risen Christ, present and active through history.” “He is here with us in this square today ,” Francis added off the cuff.“We announce Christ’s resurrection when his light brightens up the darkest moments of our life and we can share it with others; when we are able to smile with those who smile and cry with those who cry; when we walk alongside those who are sad and risk losing hope; when we describe our experience of faith to those who are in search of meaning and happiness,” Francis said before the Marian prayer which replaces the Angelus during the Easter period. Francis’ reflections were inspired by the Risen Christ’s call to his male and female disciples, an unusual expression which he used during the Easter Vigil. “This is the announcement the Church has repeated ever since the very first day: ‘Christ is risen!’” And through the sacrament of Baptism, in Him, we too are risen, we passed from death to life, from the slavery of sin to the freedom of love. This is the good news we are called to bring to others and in every context, with the impulse of the Holy Spirit.”According to Francis “Faith in the resurrection of Jesus and the hope He has brought to us is the most beautiful gift that a Christian can and must offer his brothers and sisters. To one and all, therefore, do not tire of repeating: Christ is risen! Let s repeat it with words but above all by bearing witness of it in our own lives. The good news of the Resurrection should shine on our face, in our feelings and in our behaviour, in the way in which we treat others.” “We are within the Octave of Easter, when we feel the joy of the Resurrection,” the Pope underlined. “Curiously”, the Liturgy treats the entire Octave – eight days – of Easter as one day, to help us enter into the mystery of the feast, so that its grace may impress itself upon one’s heart and life. Easter is the even which brought about radical change in every human being, in history and in the world: it is the triumph of life over death; it is a feast of reawakening and of regeneration. Let us allow our lives to be conquered and transformed by the Resurrection.”“Let us ask the Virgin Mary, a silent witness of her Son’s death and resurrection, to allow the joy of Easter to grow within us,” Francis said addressing the crowds of faithful. “We do now with the recitation of the Regina Coeli. In this prayer with the Alleluia chorus, we ask the Virgin Mary to fill us with joy because He whom she bore in her belly has risen as promised and let us entrust ourselves to her intercession.” “Our joy is in fact a reflection of Mary’s joy because it is She who watched over and continues to watch over Jesus’ events, with faith. So let us recite this prayer with the emotion of children who are happy because their Mother is happy.” “I wish each and every one of you a joyful and peaceful week in the joy of Christ’s Resurrection. In order to live this period more intensely it would be good for us to read a passage on the Resurrection from the Gospel every day.”

Kenya says it destroys two al Shabaab camps in Somalia-Reuters By Drazen Jorgic and Edith Honan-apr 6,15-yahoonews
NAIROBI (Reuters) - The Kenyan air force has destroyed two al Shabaab camps in Somalia, it said on Monday, in the first major military response since the Islamist group massacred students at a Kenyan university last week.Al Shabaab denied the camps were hit, saying the air force bombs fell on farmland. Gunmen from the al Qaeda-aligned group killed 148 people on Thursday when they stormed the Garissa University College campus, some 200 km (120 miles) from the Somali border.Jets pounded the camps in the Gedo region on the other side of the frontier on Sunday, Kenya Defence Forces spokesman David Obonyo said. The mission was part of efforts to stop fighters from those camps carrying out cross-border raids into Kenya."Our aerial images show that the camps were completely destroyed," he said, though cloud cover made it difficult to estimate the death toll.Al Shabaab has killed more than 400 people on Kenyan soil in the last two years, including 67 during a siege at Nairobi's Westgate mall in 2013, piling political pressure on President Uhuru Kenyatta that intensified with last week's killings.Kenya has struggled to stop the flow of militants and weapons across its porous 700-km border with Somalia, and the violence has also damaged the economy by scaring away tourists and investors.Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, al Shabaab's military operations spokesman, told Reuters that none of its camps were damaged in Sunday's raid, and that the fighter jets had instead struck farmland."Kenya has not targeted any of our bases," he said.The rural Gedo region of Somalia is difficult to reach and reports about the raid could not be verified independently.One of the four gunmen in the Garissa attack was the son of a Kenyan government official from Mandera county, which borders Gedo. Abdirahim Abdullahi, an ethnic Somali, was reported missing by his father after he crossed into Somalia to join al Shabaab. All four gunmen were killed in the siege. Kenyatta said on Saturday the planners and financiers of Islamist attacks were "deeply embedded" within Kenyan society and urged the Muslim community to do more to root out radicalization.A government source on Monday said governors, members of parliament and security officials from regions bordering Somalia would compile a list of people suspected to have joined al Shabaab or been radicalized by Islamists."The message is very clear: we have to deal with this problem once and for all," said the official, adding that regional governors discussed the idea with Kenyatta on Monday.Garissa was the most deadly attack on Kenyan soil since al Qaeda bombed the U.S. embassy in Nairobi in 1998, killing more than 200 people and wounding thousands.
'PULL OUT OF SOMALIA'
In the capital Nairobi, where local media have become increasingly critical of what they call a bungled security response to the Garissa attack, dozens of grieving families are still trying to identify bodies at the city's mortuary."(The security services) waited too long and the terrorists had so much time to kill our kids," said Isaac Mutisya, whose 23-year-old daughter Risper Mutindi Kasyoka is among the dead.Opposition leader Raila Odinga, who was prime minister when Kenya sent troops into Somalia in 2011 to battle al Shabaab, said the government should start thinking about pulling out, just as the United States withdrew troops after 18 soldiers were killed in the 1993 Black Hawk Down incident in Mogadishu."The U.S. used to have many soldiers in Somalia but it recalled them. Kenya should also remove its military officers from Somalia," Odinga said on Sunday, according to comments in Monday's edition of Kenya's Standard newspaper.Kenyatta's spokesman Manoah Esipisu said Kenya had no plan to pull out: "When we were attacked (by al Qaeda) in 1998, we were not in Somalia. So the idea that pulling out of Somalia will diminish our vulnerability to attacks is complete nonsense."Kenyan troops, who are fighting al Shabaab as part of a U.N.-backed African Union peacekeeping mission, have wrested swathes of territory from the Islamist group.Western diplomats, however, say this loss of territory has not weakened al Shabaab's capacity to carry out one-off guerilla-style attacks in Somalia or abroad.(Additional reporting by Feisal Omar in Mogadishu; Writing by Drazen Jorgic; editing by Ruth Pitchford and John Stonestreet)
Yemeni fighters attack Houthis as aid flights delayed-Reuters By Mohammed Mukhashaf-apr 6,15-yahoonews
ADEN (Reuters) - Southern Yemeni militias backed by warplanes from a Saudi-led coalition attacked Houthi fighters across several provinces in south Yemen on Monday, driving the Shi'ite rebel forces from some of their positions, witnesses and militia sources said.The southern fighters' gains came on the 12th day of an air campaign by Saudi Arabia and mainly Gulf Arab allies trying to stem advances by the Iran-allied Houthis, who control the capital Sanaa and have advanced on the southern city of Aden.The fighting has killed hundreds of people, cut off water and electricity supplies and led the United Nations children's agency UNICEF to warn that Yemen is heading towards a humanitarian disaster.Saudi Arabia, the main Sunni Arab power in the Gulf, launched the air campaign on March 26 to try to contain the Shi'ite Houthis and restore President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who has fled Aden for refuge in Riyadh.The International Committee of the Red Cross and UNICEF plan to fly aid planes into Yemen on Tuesday, but the missions have been delayed as they seek clearance from Arab states waging the air strikes and hunt for planes prepared to fly to Yemen.In Aden, Houthi forces gathered at the edge of the main port area on Monday but pulled out of two residential quarters on its fringes, residents told Reuters. Around 60 people were killed in heavy fighting in the area on Sunday, they said.Explosions shook Aden's suburbs as residents reported a foreign warship shelling Houthi positions on the outskirts.Military momentum is hard to judge in a disjointed conflict playing out across hundreds of miles of mountains, deserts and coastal positions, but in the southern provinces surrounding Aden the Houthis' foes said they had made gains.Residents in Dhalea, north of Aden, said air strikes hit a local government compound on the northern edge of the town and a military base on its outskirts which were both taken over by Houthis. They said buildings were on fire and reported loud explosions. Militia fighters said coalition planes also dropped supplies - the first time they had done so outside Aden - including mortars, rocket-propelled grenades, rifles, ammunition, telecommunications equipment and night goggles.Southern militias reported cutting off two roads in Abyan province, east of Aden, leading to the port city, after clashes with the Houthis.Residents near al-Anad air base, once home to U.S. military personnel fighting a covert drone war with al Qaeda in Yemen, said dozens of Houthi and allied fighters were withdrawing north after the site was bombed by coalition jets.
HEAVY ADEN FIGHTING
Saudi Arabia has taken the lead in military operations against the Houthis, backed by air forces from its Gulf allies the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar. It says it also has support from Jordan, Egypt, Sudan, Morocco and Pakistan.Pakistan has yet to spell out what support it will provide, and its parliament was meeting on Monday to discuss what the defense minister said was a request from Riyadh for military aircraft, warships and soldiers.Street fighting and heavy shelling have torn through Aden for several days. The city is the last bastion of support for the Saudi-backed Hadi, though it is unclear whether the southern fighters are battling for him or for local territory.Food, water and electricity shortages have mounted throughout the country but especially in Aden, where combat has shut ports and cut land routes from the city."How are we supposed to live without water and electricity?" pleaded Fatima, a housewife walking through the city streets with her young children.She clutched a yellow plastic jerry can, like dozens of other residents on the streets and in queues seeking water from public wells or mosque faucets after supplies at home dried up.The International Committee of the Red Cross, which for days blamed the Saudi-led coalition for delays, told Reuters on Monday that Saudi Arabia had granted permission for an aid shipment late on Saturday but problems in chartering planes would likely delay the aid's arrival until Tuesday."We are still working on getting the plane to Sanaa. It's a bit difficult with the logistics because there are not that many companies or cargo planes willing to fly into a conflict zone," said Marie Claire Feghali, a Red Cross spokesperson.The ICRC is aiming to get 48 tonnes of medical supplies into Yemen by plane. It is also trying to get staff by boat from Djibouti to Aden, but fighting has complicated efforts."Today fighting was taking place in Aden port so the security situation isn't getting any better," said another ICRC spokeswoman, Sitar Jabeen.At least eight people were killed in an air strike before dawn in the suburbs of the northern city of Saadah, home of the Houthi movement which spread from its mountain stronghold to take over the capital Sanaa six months ago.A Houthi spokesman said the dead included women and children.Local officials said strikes also hit air defense and coastal military units near the Red Sea port of Hodaida, and targets on the outskirts of Aden. They also hit a bridge on the road south to Aden, apparently trying to block the Houthis from sending reinforcements to their fighters in the city.The United Nations said on Thursday that more than 500 people had been killed in two weeks of fighting in Yemen, while the Red Cross has appealed for an immediate 24-hour pause in fighting to allow aid into the country.(Additional reporting by Noah Browning in Dubai, Mohammad Ghobari in Cairo, Katharine Houreld in Islamabad and Stephanie Nebehay in Geneva; Writing by Dominic Evans; Editing by Giles Elgood)

Syrian insurgents kidnap then release 300 Kurds: Kurdish official-Reuters By Oliver Holmes-apr 6,15-yahoonews
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Islamist insurgents have released 300 Kurdish men in the country's north who were taken captive on Sunday, a Kurdish official said on Monday.Nawaf Khalil, a spokesman for the Kurdish PYD party in Europe, told Reuters by phone that the "men were released by the Islamist militant groups who were holding them".The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group, which tracks the conflict from Britain, also said the Kurds had been released. However, it said around 200 had been held, taken at several checkpoints over the past two days.Khalil and another Kurdish official reported earlier on Monday that the men were taken on Sunday evening.Idris Nassan, an official in the Kobani canton, said they were kidnapped by al Qaeda's official Syrian wing, the Nusra Front, as they were traveling from the town of Afrin, which is under Kurdish control, to the cities of Aleppo and the capital Damascus."They left women and children but they kidnapped 300 men and young people," he said."They captured them in Tuqad village, 20 km (12 miles) west of Aleppo and then they moved them to al-Dana town in Idlib province," he said. The Nusra Front was part of an alliance of militant groups that captured Idlib city last month.The Nusra Front has not claimed the kidnapping. Syrian state media did not report the incident.Kurdish militia and Islamist militants have fought territorial disputes in Syria during the four-year civil war.

Ramallah (Palestinian Territories) (AFP) - A Palestinian official said Monday a delegation was heading to Damascus for talks on helping residents inside the Yarmuk refugee camp, parts of which have been overrun by the Islamic State group.Hundreds of families have been evacuated from the camp in a southern neighbourhood of Damascus after IS jihadists launched on attack on Wednesday.Palestinian forces inside Yarmuk are largely surrounded by IS fighters who have captured large parts of the camp.Ahmed Majdalani, an official with the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), said the delegation would focus its efforts on providing security and assistance to the camp."We will discuss with a number of Syrian officials securing the relief corridor opened yesterday to deliver humanitarian aid and getting civilians out so they won't become human shields for the terrorist Daesh group," he said, using an Arabic acronym for IS.The delegation will also hold meetings with various Palestinian factions to discuss how to counter IS threats, said Majdalani, who is heading the group.Majdalani accused IS militants of "seeking to control the whole camp" and to use it "as a springboard for attacks on the Syrian capital Damascus because of its strategic location".The visit came after talks with officials in several Arab countries."We have an Arab and international plan to stop the violence perpetrated against our people," Majdalani told AFP.In a statement, the PLO called for "all sides to immediately agree to protect the camp from efforts to turn it into a battlefield".It also called for civilians to be granted relief corridors and humanitarian and medical assistance.
- Security Council demands access -
The UN Security Council on Monday demanded humanitarian aid access to the refugees.The 15-member body called "for the protection of civilians in the camp for ensuring a humanitarian access to the area including by providing life-saving assistance," said Jordan's ambassador Dina Kawar, the council chair this month.Since the jihadist advance began, regime forces have pounded the camp with shells and barrel bombs, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitoring group.Dozens of Hamas and Islamic Jihad supporters meanwhile protested in Gaza on Monday to demand an end to the violence in Yarmuk."We demand the attackers immediately stop their killing," former Hamas justice minister Mohamed Faraj al-Ghul told protesters outside the parliament building in the Gaza Strip.Yarmuk "must be a neutral place, far from the madness of war," he said, urging an international intervention to "stop the killing".Yarmuk was once a thriving neighbourhood home to 160,000 Palestinian refugees and Syrians but has been caught up in the country's civil unrest which began in 2011.It has been besieged by regime forces for more than a year and only about 18,000 residents are estimated to remain in the camp after many fled the fighting.
IS, which has seized control of large parts of Syria and Iraq, has fought not only against President Bashar al-Assad's regime but also against other rebel groups as it seeks to expand the territory under its control.
