The song has some claim to fame as it was televised on Swedish TV during an all-star gala staged by Kjerstin Dellert at the Royal Swedish Opera in honour of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and his bride-to-be, Silvia Sommerlath, who were married the next day. Then in 1993, in honour of Queen Silvia’s 50th birthday, Anni-Frid Lyngstad was asked to perform “Dancing Queen” on stage, repeating ABBA’s 1976 performance of the song at the pre-wedding gala.

The students who organized and led the protests that have brought Dr. M. Yunus into the role of leader for an interim government charged, by specific request of the students, with building a new set of institutions free from coercive armed influence, have accomplished something extraordinary. They have removed an abusive government from power, with the tacit cooperation of some of the armed units at the disposal of that government, when the head of the military “refused to deploy his forces on Monday.” The kids apparently organized all of this, and now, students are even helping to protect police stations and Hindu temples, and directing traffic. This is what can happen with cooperative organization, and apparently, I don’t know for certain as the NPR article did not mention, but it seems that the students did this all themselves, rather than via adult supervision as the kids of SNCC did back in the 1960’s (as SNCC was itself formed by Dr. King and the SCLC, unless I am mistaken). I hope that NPR gives us more details about this situation, how it came about, and how it develops, as the previous 15 years of essentially dictatorship are dealt with and new policies and perhaps even new institutions put in place for a more democratic system that all of us may be able to learn from and use to build more tools for democracy. I am certain that Dr. Yunus will bring careful thought as well as his vast experience to bear on the problem, and I hope that the world pays attention.

…“It is unfortunate that ambassadors won’t be able to join us this year, but I hope they will attend from next year,” Suzuki added.
Suzuki had indicated his reluctance in June to invite Israel, noting the escalating conflict in the Middle East. He announced last week that Israel was not invited because of concern over “possible unforeseen situations” such as protests, sabotage or attacks on attendees.
Suzuki said he made the decision based on “various developments in the international community in response to the ongoing situation in the Middle East” that suggested a possible risk that the ceremony would be disturbed. “Aug. 9 is the most important day for Nagasaki City … and we must not let the ceremony be affected,” he said.

“Las cosas han ido mal desde 2015, cuando el precio del oro empezó a subir. La vida de los Yanomami está ligada al precio del oro”, dice Bruce Albert, antropólogo y consultor de exposiciones de arte de la Fundación Cartier.

Bruce Albert había transcrito los pensamientos del portavoz y chamán Yanomami Davi Kopenawa en “La caída del cielo” (2010), un libro cuyo objetivo es advertir a la “gente de las mercancías” que detenga la destrucción del bosque antes de que “el cielo se derrumbe por todas partes”.
Esta advertencia se repite en los textos publicados recientemente por Davi Kopenawa y Bruce Albert “El espíritu del bosque”, escrito originalmente para exposiciones organizadas en París por la Fundación Cartier.
“Estamos en el capítulo final de la colonización y la fiebre del oro que comenzó en el siglo XVI”.
“El espíritu del bosque” detalla cómo el territorio Yanomami fue devastado por las invasiones de buscadores de oro y las epidemias posteriores durante un siglo.
¿Por qué esta tragedia continúa repitiéndose una y otra vez?
¿Quiénes son las “personas de las mercancías”?
