Survivors recount the horror of Christchurch
The survivors of the Christchurch earthquake are lucky to be alive, but are in a state of shock, and have memories that may be hard to forget. Matters may soon get worse if the many people trapped in buildings are not reached in time. “We tried to get out through our lunchroom to our fire escape but it had all collapsed, so we were just on a concrete edge of the building and then the firetruck ladder helped us down,” said one survivor. “From where my son was on the fourth floor I really thought he was gone. But I chose not to leave here until I knew for myself he was alright,” said a relieved mother. There was little sign of panic as orderly queues formed at relief centres. The economic cost of the disaster is likely to run into hundreds of millions of euros. Copyright © 2011 euronews

EU considers immigration emergency
Italy’s interior minister, Roberto Moroni, has voiced fears of an immigration tsunami caused by revolution in the Arab countries of the Mediterranean. This brought Moroni’s counterparts from Greece, France, Spain, Cyprus and Malta, for a meeting in Rome to plan policy strategy and proposals. The six want a special European Union solidarity fund. All 27 EU interior ministers will meet this Thursday in Brussels. Moroni said: “A humanitarian emergency risks carrying to the shores of our country 300,000 refugees. This humanitarian emergency cannot be left to our countries alone to handle.” With the upheaval in Tunisia, even before Libya’s uprising, the Italian island of Lampadusa struggled to deal with a wave of 5,000 Tunisians.

Teachers strike in Bahrain’s revolution
Anti-government demonstrators camped in the centre of Bahrain’s capital Manama have been joined by 1,500 striking teachers, all calling for the downfall of the regime. There is little sign of the revolt letting up, but the atmosphere has eased considerably after the deaths of seven people in the past week. One of the teachers, Yasser Abd Hussein, said: “We have left the schools and declared a general strike. We’ll stay here until the departure of this regime.” Another protester, Madeen Ali Ahmed, said: “The massacre led us to increase our demands, from reshuffling the government to its complete removal.” Bahrain’s King has asked his son the Crown Prince to start talks with all parties but the opposition are reluctant to enter into dialogue after the bloodshed of recent days. Their demands include a true constitutional monarchy that would give Bahrainis a greater role in a directly elected government. Seventy per cent of the population are Shi-ite Muslims but they are a minority in the parliament. The Sunni Muslim Al-Khalifa royal family, who have ruled Bahrain for 200 years, dominate the cabinet.

Bahrain – a country divided.
Shi’ite protestors in Bahrain are not just calling for an end to the dynasty that has ruled the country for over 200 years. They are also demanding an end to what they say is a system of apartheid, in which Shi’ites Muslims are actively discriminated against by the Sunni rulers. Shi’ites make up 70% of the population of Bahrain. In the poorer neighbourhoods of Bahrain, where most Shi’ites live, it is the perceived discrimination that causes the most anger against the regime. They claim even foreigners are favoured over Shi’ites. “They bring people in to work from abroad” say this Shi’ite resident. “They give them passports and housing and we are still in the same situation.” As unrest spreads throughout the arab world, shi’ites in Bahrain are watching developments closely, hoping any new form of government will result in a more equal society. Unemployed graduate Zina Mahmoud is a Shi’ite. “It’s been six years since I graduated from education. How do you explain that I never found a job anywhere?” It is the glitzy skyscrapers that Bahrain presents to the world, but they mask the undercurrent of a country ruled by an unelected dynasty, and built on a two-tier society.
