Front page article : Ghosts in the Fortress, by Walid Taqatqa.
Taqatqa, a Palestinian street corner HIV & drug worker, has been on the streets of Rotterdam for the last six years. But this isn’t his story. It’s the story of the North African Arab youths who risk their lives to cross the Mediterranean into the "promised land" of Europe. "These youths," says Taqatqa, "are the lost generation in our modern society." Many die of AIDS. Taqatqa clears the ideological rubble about whether or not to "help" illegal immigrants, about the Double Penalty (prison + deportation), the impact of crack, and inability of white social work to find answers to such questions.
London. Positively Irish Action on AIDS fights back against "market management"
In April, the Health Commissioners who control AIDS funding in London announced that Positively Irish Action on AIDS, a self-help group established in 1989, would lose all its funding. PIAA’s activists talk about the need for organizational self-determination and the responsibility of public health authorities for supporting community-based HIV care. In addition, we report on PIAA’s contribution to building a strong European network of ethnic minority AIDS groups, and about PIAA’s response to the anti-Irish racism of the London Times.
