Mumbai under Seige - Inside Story

Text: Santanu Saraswati

Our foreign correspondent refers from Mumbai
History really repeats. At least for India. Every time, the two countries—India and Pakistan—come closer to each other, buses start crossing the border passing the Wagah border of Amritsar district of Punjab—something untoward takes place that rattles the polity of two neighbouring states, divided on the basis of religion. This happened, when Pakistani troop attacked Karghil in early new millennium - on November 26, this year.

ETDG 2008 Competitor Story: Tomas Drevikovsky

Text: Peik Bremer (translated by Kristin Heck)

How does someone look like who is transplanted five times? My suggestion was a suffering person who has resigned and struggles with fate. At the first moment it appears to be like that. Tomas Drevikovsky, Czech, 58 years old is of a middle stature, has less hair on his head and deep wrinkles are signing his face. You can see that he had experienced a lot of pain and hard times. His gaze reaches from melancholic to sad but is surprisingly steady and determined.

Is Gaza under occupation or not? Free Gaza boats about to find out more

Text: Anis Hamadeh

For more than two years, all border crossings to the Gaza Strip have been closed by the Israeli army. Since then, the 1.5 million inhabitants live in a state of siege, even more so since June, when the siege was tightened. As reasons for the siege Israel refers to Qassam rocket fire from the area and the alleged intention of the Hamas government to destroy Israel. At the same time, Israeli government officials emphasize that the occupation of the Gaza Strip has ended with the withdrawal of the Israeli settlements and army in September 2005 and that the Gaza Strip would now be considered foreign territory. But facts on the ground speak a different language.

Great minds can change the world

Text: Kristin Heck

There are many people with a vision in our world out there. However most of those visionaries are stuck in their dreams and do nothing to fulfil them. 33-year-old Bremley Lyngdoh is also a visionary but instead of hoping for a change he acts. It’s nearly a year ago that he founded a company named “Worldview Impact” which stands for what Lyngdoh dreams of: to create a sustainable business for a sustainable future.

EDTG 2008 Competitor Story: Jens Rikus

Text: Peik Bremer (translated by: Kristin Heck)

Every single muscle of his body is tensed. He winds up and hits a hard ball into the courtside of his opponent. The ball returns short. He jumps forward and barely lobs the shuttlecock over the net. The opponent isn’t fast enough and misses it.
Badminton is a fast and dynamic. It has nothing in common with a recreational game between friends. For this sport you need power and endurance, a fast reaction and must be sharp-eyed.
