Horvitch Obituaries and Nepal

Ike Horvitch was a Treason Trialist and a South African Communist. He died in London on December 28th, 2005. Several obituaries were printed in the newspapers there for him (linked). In Nepal, the opposition suspended armed struggle and formed an alliance to contest a general election in peace. Whereupon the monarch banned all the candidates and opened a military offensive. See linked article. The four-union strike at Transnet has been very effective. The question of the two-term limit on the SA Presidency has also caused comment. Full reports of these matters are not yet on the Internet. They will be covered here tomorrow.
