The USA maintains a massive network of foreign military bases around the world. Some are on land occupied as spoils of war. Most are maintained through collaborations with governments, many of them oppressive. Learn more about these bases. #WorldBEYONDWar

Wikipedia: "Akemeniderna (fornpersiska: Hakhāmanishiya) var en persisk dynasti. Namnet ”akemenid” syftar på grundarklanen (enligt traditionen uppkallad efter en ättefader vid namn Achaimenes), som runt 556 f.Kr. under Kyros den store befriade sig från medernas rike, såväl som på det stora imperium som blev följden av sammansmältningen av de två. Akemenidernas rike är det första av de persiska imperier som härskade över en stor del av Mellanöstern. Det sträckte sig åt norr och åt väster till Mindre Asien, till Thrakien och större delen av kustområdena vid Svarta havet, i öster ända till nuvarande Afghanistan och en del av nuvarande Pakistan, och åt söder och sydväst till nuvarande Irak, Syrien, Egypten, norra Saudiarabien, Jordanien, Israel, Libanon och bort till norra Libyen. Det imperium som grundades av akemeniderna hotade två gånger Antikens Grekland, erövrade Egypten och fick sitt slut år 330 f.Kr., då Dareios III dukade under för Alexander den store."

Nuba Vision Volume 2, Issue 1, October 2002 Last year Dr Kari Eloranta, a photographer and mathematician from Finland, travelled across North East Africa recording conditions for ordinary people throughout the region. The result is Year Zero Ground Zero, a captivating book of extraordinary photographs and perceptive commentary . The following is an extract from a chapter on the Nuba (written before the cease-fire came into effect) "During the hours of waiting for the flight out an analogy strikes me. Is the Nuba struggle in a way just a rerun of the match that took place somewhere around here eons ago? One branch of the homo-tree diversified into walking in the plains and developing tools while the other continued living the old way, up in the trees. In the end the former grew more resourceful, conquered the savannah and finally finished off his brothers in the branches. Two eras, two stories, one about biological evolution, the other about cultural evolution. Monsters have prevailed before. There is no progress, just evolution. A process blind to our wishes and judgements. I cannot fault the logic yet in my gut I hope I’m dead wrong."
