We started a good year 2011. What do you think? we say the same: HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL. We will do our best to make 2011 a year full of good for everyone! JOIN U.S..
The political and social situation goes from bad to worse. The political class in power will certainly need to clean up. They need to be put in bleach to see if they can get rid of the smell of "garbage" that surrounds them. In particular, we know that the lies have never built anything good, as well as the injustice and the violation of human rights. Our country really needs to rediscover the values \u200b\u200bof goodness, truth, respect for women, respect for the poor, the stranger, for the weak, for a child, for the old. In short, the press and media to follow the fortunes of the Prime Minister had lost the Trabzon and the Government has virtually stopped between the general disgust, irony and taking ingiro the foreign press and confusion of them Italian nationals.
is why we feel like never the desire to breathe clean air .
This can be done if we can raise our service to society and especially to the poorest and most downtrodden. For this reason, ACSE has resumed its activities, its services for immigrants and their training sessions together with the religious meetings of prayer.
We want to inform you that next January 30th we will all live together 'ACSE:

we must also understand how rich nations exploit and ruin the poorest nations and as the selfishness and greed of the human being leads him to commit crimes extremes. When one wonders why the human disaster, because the migration we need to know that there is always the hand of any man of power. Here's an example of France that we need to know given that Italy depends dfall'elettricità provided by the French nuclear power plants.
We must read and spread:
Let there be light - Areva in Niger your
partisans described nuclear power as an energy form safe, clean and green. However, the production of nuclear fuel requires that the activity is experienced by the destructive and deadly uranium mines. These can have catastrophic effects on neighboring communities and the environment for millions of years to become. There are few places where these adverse effects are more clearly resentful that in Niger.
When uranium was discovered in the impoverished Niger in 1960, many thought that the discovery would have contributed to the economic and social development of the country. Unfortunately, it proved a poisoned chalice. Today, the Niger is a poorest country in the world, classified according to a recent Human Development Index in the United Nations Environment Programme (UNDP) with 40% of underweight children.
Mine uranium to meet the needs of France.
uranium mines in Niger are mainly exploited by the French public that Areva, according to its own terms, it ranks among the top global nuclear energy industry. Areva imports half of its uranium from Niger. France has exploited the uranium mines in Niger during the last forty years and it is the largest foreign investor in the country. In France, more than two out of three bulbs are lit uranium from Niger, so that the local population has no access to electricity. Unfortunately, consumers in Europe are not generally aware of what is behind the production of electricity, when it illuminates a light bulb.
In April 2010, ¹ Greenpaece published a report complaining that Areva has poisoned the environment around the mining site of Arlit ed'Akokan, about 850 km north of Niamey, the capital of the country. The two cities (and Arlit Akokan) were originally created to house workers from the air.
contamination affects about 80,000 people. The radioactivity was calculated at 500 times Akokan greater than the norm. The radioactive fuel were also used for the construction of roads. Some pieces of radioactive metal consumption has been sold at local market of Arlit, with a level of radioactivity that was up to fifty times the normal level of the background. The locals use this material to build their homes. For Arlit, Greenpeace has measured concentrations of uranium in drinking water than four times the limit recommended by the World Health Organization. -------------------------------------------------
¹ Greenpeace, 2010, abandoned in the dust. The legacy of radioactive AREVA in the desert town of Nigeria.
In general, more than forty years of exploitation, it is used more than 270 billion gallons of water in the mines, contaminating and drying up the aquifer. Water is pumped from a water table - water table Tarat - to a depth of 150 meters. It 's a fossil aquifer, that means that water is not easily renewed, it will take millions of years for it to be refilled. The decrease of the water reserve also has strong social and economic impacts, and it threatens the very nomadic herders. In a country where fertile land for agriculture is rare, communities are competing for the agricultural resources. In Niger, there is only 11.5% of arable land. The fact that the aquifer empties, increases the speed in making the desert, the remarkable decline of the ground state to an arid and dry. The transformation in the desert is caused by overgrazing, large exploitation of groundwater and diversion of rivers for human consumption and industrial use. Now, the Sahara stretches out his sand with a speed of 5 km per year.
Already in 2007 a scientific research by CRIIRAD, an independent research based in France of the radioactivity was found at high levels of radiation in the streets Akokan. In September 2009, Areva has alleged that a mapping Detailed explanation of radioactivity is a complete program of decontamination were carried out under the supervision of the Nigerian authorities, unfortunately, this reality was quite different.
Exposure to radiation can cause respiratory problems, malformations of the unborn children, leukemia and cancer, this, to name only some effect on health. Local witnesses confirm the high incidence of cancer as a cause of death, but Greenpeace International and Doctors Without Borders has deplored the fact that it is impossible to statistically determine the causes of deaths among mine workers and local residents, because of lack of access to data. In with the Areva controls the hospitals of the two cities and these hospitals are suspected of intentionally classify cancer as AIDS or other diseases. This allows Areva to brazenly claim that there was only one case of cancer attributed to the exploitation of mines in the last forty years. The Doctors Without Borders complained that it has launched a program of cooperation with Areva to implement security measures for health and work in the mines that the company exploits in Africa, but Areva has not changed at all its practices.
In December 2010, Greenpeace has revealed that about 200,000 cubic meters of radioactive sludge was poured into the mine uranium Somair, exploited Areva near Airlit, because the pools containing the nuclear fuel they had cracked.
³
Conclusion
Every day that passes, the Nigerians are exposed to radiation, disease and poverty will have no benefit - while Areva pulls billions from their natural resources. The revenues of Areva in 2008 was $ 13.1 billion of euro, with a benefit of € 589 million. Meanwhile, the company continues to invest too little money to provide basic levels of health for the people close to uranium mining. The local government agency to monitor or control the actions of Areva lacks staff and funds, and it has no means of effective measures to effectively measure the radioactivity in air. In addition, the Niger government seems more concerned to oppose the obstacles and restrictions on the search for Greenpeace to act against Areva. I totally need more controls and supervision, even while the data that Areva 's intention to open another large Imouraren mine in 2013 or 2014.

NOBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO SAY "I CAN NOT DO ANYTHING! all together we can do. Meanwhile, we begin to become aware of reality.
Here is an ACTIVITY 'OF' WHO ACSE 'Start' S YEAR WITH OUR VISITS TO THE STATION WHERE Ostiense knew there was POOR and immigrants who "sleep" rough.
REPORT: Roma on January 20
DEAR
I wanted to share with you that and that 'was the first experience of contact with immigrants who sleep at the station at Ostia. We meet at 20.00
I, Abdul and Philip. As Abdul direct contact with this experience, we take orders from him. Abdul has brought with him two sleeping bags.
arrive on track nine, after all there is' a group formed by three people presumably of Asian origin / Indian.
start chatting with them. One of them 'knowledge of Abdul, who slept in the same area of \u200b\u200bthe station.
E 'drunk, Abdul asks him why he started drinking before they did. He mentions an answer, but then wants one of the two sleeping bags. Abdul tranquilliza him and promises him that give 'to end around. We start
speak with a second component of the group tells us who worked in Milan in society 'which runs the subway. He has a wife and children in his home country. When asked why she is in that situation tells us that he started playing at the casino 'and lost everything. For this reason, and 'was forced to resign from the society' in which he worked and decided to come to Rome. Allowed to stay. He asks us to help him write a resume. The write up a ticket with the address of the ACS and the name of Sister Lina, telling him to ask her so that it can be addressed within the ACS to someone who can lend a hand in writing the curriculum . I wonder 'if you will! Meanwhile, the other component comes of the group. In turn, take turns around a campfire where they are preparing their dinner! The latter with much difficulty 'in the language tells us that comes and goes from prison! and 'disconnected in its arguments, most likely has some relationship problems!
Their dinner is ready, greet and decide to move to another track.
station and 'still half empty, seats are never booked with the boxes and blankets. Coming from the train station tuscolana. They start to go down a bit 'of immigrants, Abdul tells us that the station there tuscolana' distribution of sandwiches, tea ', and other supplies. The food station tuscolana are better than those that are distributed to Ostiense.
neatly and quietly immigrants start to what will be 'their bed for the night! Abdul recognizes and salutes a friend of his compatriot. comes to us and talk to each other in their language of origin. We understand that there 'a lot of familiarity' between the two. Abdul tells us that when it 'came to Rome,' was he who showed him the Ostiense station as a place to sleep. This guy from Senegal, who opened the envelope with it 'and gives us a croissant! It will look 'strange, we went to give us something but we are getting something!
After a few minutes to talk this guy says hello and goes to the bottom of the track to prepare for the night! The vast majority
are Afghans and Kurds, many Africans. Few women, for the time we were at the station we will have only seen two.
We decide to leave the entrance to the station to meet another friend Abdul, Moroccan or Tunisian origin. He begins to speak of African governments, the wealth of this and / or quesll'altro state. The political situation in the countries of North Africa. It is understandable that he wants to talk. We entertain a little 'with him this time and then greet us! greet Philip and accompany Abdul ACS!
We promised to return. Through a friend of mine I'm trying to get in touch with the shelter and management of the homeless to the Termini station. Maybe next week if we succeed, we make a trip there. The first meetings I think we'll need to get an overview of life from homeless to some wrong choices in life as the first group to require more '! ... All pero ', will share this night they put the bed made of cardboard to insulate the floor and as many blankets to keep warm in this cold January night!
Goodnight, Sabino
Rome Sunday, Jan. 24 2011
Dear friends of the 'ACSE,
Sunday, January 24 evening, after the first visit of the group of Sabino, we managed with a second group to go and see the situazioe Railway station Ostiense. We arrived at 20.30. Present P. Claudio, Alli Tea, Theodore and Philip Orsot Marino. The largest group of foreigners that we encountered was that of the Afghans. C 'was a small group of Africans, including about 10 in number of Eritreans. The total number of homeless persons were about 50.
Around 21 there was the distribution of a meal by the parish community of San Saba. information gathering, it was found that every night there are communities or parishes that are assigned responsibilities for the distribution of at least 60 meals. Each community or group that empowers you to help one or two evenings a month. The leaders of each community or group will coordinate among themselves and apparently the Coordination Centre and the Community of Sant 'Egidio. We distributed four sleeping bags to an African Cameroon, Italy from 3 years without conditions, and three Afghans recently arrived. Abbiamoanche provided our address so they can take advantage of the ACSE serivizi especially of the Italian school and the dentist. Tea Alli had brought a packet of sferografiche and plastic bags for documents that have disappeared in a moment. As we speak in drafts of the wind, one of Afghanistan offers us hot tea cheaveva received in a plastic bottle from the group of the parish of San Saba. Philip says, at least we hand warmer. Father Claudio you fill a plastic cup and drinking, thinking these people under these conditions is concerned with offering us a glass of hot tea ... us!. When we leave you a fraternal greeting. The world could really be better!
We concluded that we must deepen the type of action that the ACSE can do our little community that we can study how the next meeting on Saturday. It appears that the presence of the Choir Gam volunteers who had joined the initiative is made more difficult because they all live far from the center of Rome, and it is not easy for them to return home after ten o'clock at night. Theodore came to stay with us from Ostia to return home and had to take the train and then a bus with more than one hour and a half away.
Parlanod with Sabino we have seen that the emergency immigrants who sleep all'adiaccio is cold. Sabino is committed to come into contact with the City to get blankets and even sleeping bags, as our reserves are kept to a minimum ACSE have already been distributed. Soon we will see what to do in this business.
up the good work. Claudio P.
