The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, and other EU programs, groups migration with human and drug trafficking, which as Dr Bichara Khader tells the ISN, is just one of the signs of the Partnership’s eurocentric view and needs to be addressed.

This is a ‘tumar,’ a gift from a dear, sweet friend from Kyrgyzstan. One should write a prayer on a slip of paper, place it inside the tumar and wear it around your neck.
I asked her if they had larger sizes.:-)
The Yemen situation has been boiling for a while. Just a few items from the shop:
In July 2009, Dr Elham Manea went in depth about the situation in her home country for us in ISN Podcasts.
In 2007, Martina Fuchs wrote about the growing pains Yemen was experiencing.
In 2006, our Dominic Moran wrote about how al-Qaida had resurfaced in Yemen.
The bells have been ringing for a while. Hopefully now folks will listen.
In the latest edition of ISN Podcasts, I discuss Brazil’s foray into the geopolitical game with ISN Security Watch senior correspondent for Latin America Sam Logan. Click here to listen.
The podcast is part of our Special Report, South America’s Power Puzzle.

On the heels of what could have been a disaster, the job of a US Transportation Security Administration transportation security officer (TSO) has become just a tad bit more stressful than it already is.
A TSO is the person scanning passengers at US airports with hand wands, doing pat downs and searches for potentially dangerous devices all while dealing with irate travellers.
It’s the person you probably roll your eyes at when you’re asked to remove your shoes before walking through the security checkpoint.
And, at least according to a job ad I found on the USAjobs.gov site (PDF), a TSO does this for between US$28,626 and US$42,938 a year.
