		<description><![CDATA[Xenophobia flourishes in Africa too, encouraged by state-building. It is not only in the West that black people are subjected to racism and abusive languages by the host nation&#8217;s population as &#8220;bloody foreigners&#8221;, &#8220;parasites&#8221;, &#8220;aliens&#8221;,&#8221;refugees&#8221;, etc, but also Africans living in other African countries are grimly accustomed to the same abusive language. Matters have sometimes been getting out of hand in recent years. There is an irony that this is happening when many countries in Africa are busy trying to organise a Union of African states to replace the useless, that the OAU has been. A few years ago, tens of thousands of Eritreans and Ethiopians have been expelled against their will when the two countries started war (May 1998 till June 2000). The Eritreans and Ethiopians who happened to be respectively living in each other&#8217;s country had lived there for most of their lives, in some cases many of them didn&#8217;t know their country of origin. The rulers of both sides accused each other, accurately, of human rights violation. The reasons for these mass expulsions and violence are almost always the same in each country. &#8220;Patriotic” citizens are quick to assert, nationalistically, that the &#8220;outsiders&#8221; have come to take [...]

		<description><![CDATA[The war in Georgia seems to be over. How it began is still not clear. The first major military action was Georgia&#8217;s bombardment of Tskhinval, but some claim that this was itself a response to escalation in the low-intensity fighting in the villages of South Ossetia that has been going on for many years. In any case, the Georgian assault on South Ossetia gave Russia a golden opportunity to pursue its own goals under cover of humanitarian intervention (see last month&#8217;s Socialist Standard). In general, both sides have excelled in hypocrisy. Russia as the protector of small peoples – after Chechnya? The United States as the champion of national sovereignty against foreign aggression – after Iraq? And yet there are always people prepared to take such guff seriously, or pretend to. Three levels The context of the war needs to be understood at three levels: Level 1: the struggle within Georgia for control over territory, waged by ethnically based mini-states (Georgian, Abkhaz, Osset). Level 2: the confrontation between Georgia and Russia. Level 3: the renewed great power confrontation between Russia and the West, especially between Russia and the U.S. The West in its propaganda stresses Level 2, casting Russia as [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Belgium is a patently artiﬁcial state inhabited by people speaking two different languages. It survived for many years with one of them (French) as the dominant language because it was the language of the ruling class. Now that this has ceased to be the case, and Dutch (Flemish) has also become a language of a part of the capitalist class as well as of the state, Belgium is beginning to show signs of coming apart at the seams. Revision of the constitution — How much autonomy should the regions be given? Should or should not Belgium become a federal state? How far out should the limits of Brussels (basically a French-speaking city surrounded by Dutch-speaking communes) go? — has become an issue preventing other issues being dealt with. Belgium is a state which the then Great Powers allowed to be set up in 1830. Before that the territory that is now Belgium had formed part, ﬁrst, of the territories of the King of Spain, then of those of the Emperor of Austria. After the French Revolution Belgium became, in 1792, part of France and remained so until after the defeat of Napoleon in 1815. While part of France the Napoleonic [...]
