 | Last login: 23 hours agoAna is a 55 year old woman from Stockholm, Sweden. I am a writer and a journalist. I like conversations and whispers, not much images but suggestions, hints, the perception and the guess more than the statement of a truth.
My friends define me as a cultural relativist. I don't feel myself as "belonging". Freelance catholic, freelance anarchist but definitely a humanist struggling for dialog and for meaningfull encounters. |
- Back from Baghdad now · Jun 10, 8:33am
- I spent two terrible days in the middle of the green zone, which is supposedly the only safe area of the country. But even though there was a safe haven an explosion ocurred 50 meters from the U.S. embassy, which is huge and will have the dimensions of the Pentagon and it will have schools and McDonalds, Pizza Huts, cinemas and sports clubs and churches and banks, such as Americans need in an American city in the middle of Baghdad. The explosion killed an American truck driver who was returning to United States after two years of work there.
And the same day that we arrived, 75 journalists from the whole world an American was found dead at the entrance to the green zone, beheaded with his hands tied behind his back .
We spent two days in the middle of a bunker surrounded by American soldiers and Peruvians mercenaries, Peruvians are 2000 men, working as paramilitaries, who are responsible for the security of the area. Recruited in Lima and Bogota, and San Salvador and are being taken to be cannon fodder there, do not know a word of English and live in dusty barracks in Baghdad on the day off they go to play soccer in the U.S. embassy the only fun they have.
We met journalists and translators, they told us about a ghost town deserted and where people who are lucky to have that work run from home to work and from work to home, without looking anywhere without talking to anyone. We spoke with relatives of the 295 journalists killed in the course of 6 years.
- Back from Guatemala · May 16, 9:58am
- I am now back from Guatemala, one of the Earth's most violent places, where 17 people are killed every day. And it's now peace, when they were at war 300000 people were killed. United Fruits favorite land, where Indians were exploited by the company. I never buy Chiquita bananas, the heirs of the infamous United Fruit.
