Sir Chris Hoy: Auld Enemy rivalry will be key to Glasgow 2014

Image
The Games are unique, particularly for British athletes who are used to training and competing in the same team, said the Olympian who won two Commonwealth gold medals and two bronze during his cycling career. Sir Chris, an ambassador for Glasgow 2014, retired last summer and will not compete in the velodrome which is named after him, but he is looking forward to watching the action from the sidelines. He has fond memories of competing at the Commonwealth Games in Manchester in 2002 and Melbourne four years later where Scotland defeated England in the men's team sprint final. "The Commonwealth Games are unique for British athletes because it's the one chance to compete for your 'home nation'," Sir Chris said. "For me, particularly Manchester in 2002 and also Melbourne four years later, we trained as a GB team up until maybe only three or four weeks before the event then went our separate ways. "It was funny because your team mates for thr...

Critics of Rwandan President Paul Kagame tend to flee the country as soon as they fall out with him because they fear it is too dangerous to stay.

Paul Kagame But many have met mysterious deaths abroad, although the president and his allies have always denied any responsibility. Rwanda's first post-genocide Interior Minister, Seth Sendashonga, was shot dead in Nairobi shortly after resigning in 1996, leading to a diplomatic row between Kenya and Rwanda. The Metropolitan Police has warned two dissidents based in London of threats to kill them. And there were two attempts to kill former army chief Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa in South Africa. The apparent murder of Patrick Karegeya, also in South Africa, will make Rwandan dissidents feel even less safe. His death is a big blow to the opposition party he founded, the Rwanda National Congress. But it also has the potential to be a huge embarrassment for President Kagame.

Patrick Karegeya: Rwanda exile 'murdered' in Johannesburg

Image
Patrick Karegeya/Ex Intel Chief of Rwanda Exiled former Rwandan intelligence chief Patrick Karegeya has been apparently murdered in a Johannesburg hotel room, South African police say. They say the dissident might have been strangled, with a rope and bloodied towel found in the hotel room safe. Mr Karegeya was stripped of the rank of colonel after falling out with his former ally, President Paul Kagame. President Kagame's allies have previously denied accusations of links to a series of dissident attacks.  Mr Karegeya, 53, formerly head of Rwanda's foreign intelligence service, had lived for the past six years in South Africa, where he had been granted political asylum. A fellow exiled dissident, former army chief Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa, has survived two assassination attempts since fleeing to South Africa in 2010.  The pair formed a new opposition party - the Rwanda National Congress - in 2010. Gen Nyamwasa told the BBC that Mr Karegeya had gone to the upmarket M...

Happy New Year from America’s fourth largest city of San Francisco

Oscar GB There is a slogan that has made its mark in the world of advertisement. You may recognize it at once; for example: "A living moment is priceless; for everything else there is M.C…" Capitalism makes us to believe that "mon ey" can buy anything, even the most precious moments of our lives.  Wealth is what makes us achieve the true and supreme happiness: the true meaning of life. Everything else is worthless. Sadly, this "M.C. idea" is costly, It represents the opposite of what it proposes. It causes people to lose "the most precious moments" of life, indeed.  This ad expresses the essence of what is known as "Advanced Capitalism," which even goes beyond the philosophy of Simone De Beauvoir's famous quote: "Money does not make happiness; but contributes to it."   I just wish you that this year we all can learn more and more how to depend less and less on consumerism. Fighting for a mo...
