Soli Ozel writes for the Haber Turk newspaper. He says the recent protests against the “Wise People” show that the peace process is nearing an important stage. He notes the withdrawal of the PKK forces and the fact that nobody has died in the conflict over the past four months.
The PKK withdrawal from Turkey is to be completed in a few months. By then, the government is expected to start announcing steps it will take to deal with Kurdish demands.But political observers say until then, members of the “Wise People” could have a hard time getting people to accept their ideas.
Hello, I’m Christopher Cruise.A city like Cairo, with 18 million people, produces a lot of trash. Much of that waste ends up in a Coptic Christian area called Garbage City. People there make new products from just about any material. Lately they are getting help from a secret source. The source is pigs, hidden secretly behind walls of trash and armies of flies.
In 2009, the government ordered that all pigs be killed. Egyptian officials said they were dangerous to health, even though world health officials disagreed. Some farmers took action to save their pigs from the death.
Few Egyptians admit that pigs are present. But those leading the recycling efforts argue that the animals play an important part in turning old waste material into new objects.
Adel Ragi is a leader of the garbage collectors’ union. He says that non-human organic waste makes up half of Egypt’s trash. And, he says the pigs get rid of the trash by eating it.
