3 Christian Militants in Indonesia to be Exectuted
http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/asiapcf/09/21/indonesia.executions.ap/index.html?section=cnn_topstories
A couple interesting things about this case, 1. Christian Militants who caused 70 deaths in Indonesia, 2,At least SOME Muslims are among those protesting the execution!
The Latest I have so far on Winnifred Brady

This whole case just bugs the Hell out of me!
Effects of War on Women and Girls Continues: Report from OSCE
http://www.oscebih.org/public/default.asp?d=6&article=show&id=1882
War has terrible effects on social life generally, I think that men lose some of their moral fiber too! Something goes wrong in all social arrangements for a long time after the war.
Report on Domestic Violence in BiH
http://www.oscebih.org/public/default.asp?d=6&article=show&id=1878
It's not actually mentioned in this article but, another huge need is some sort of sensible, rational reform of family law, BiH has a particular need in this regard, but legal structure in the Balkans generally is a patch-work of laws that date from the Middle Ages, the Ottoman Era, the Austro-Hungarian era, and the Communist era, then there was the war and while I realize legal structure must address such matters as war crimes, nothing has been done to set up a rational system for family law, the law on divorce, marriage, custody, etc. People cannot lead normal lives when these things remain un-addressed.
Cultural, Religious Festivals to be held during Ramzan in BiH

I hope to be going to the local fair today, so don't expect my usual updates at my usual times if that's what you come here for, I will try and get some pictures and films from the fair though.

Men do indeed suffer a great deal, socially and emotionally as a result of the war. According to an article (from 2001) what compounds the problem is that life in post-war Bosnia is very uncertain, high level of poverty and very high level of unemployment. Adding to the situation is that Bosnia (like the Balkan countries in general) is a patriarchal society, where men are expected to be the breadwinner and provide for their families. If they are not able to support their families, they often feel "what kind of man am I?"
The result has been an increase in domestic violence and male suicides.
On the otherhand over the past years there have been many NGOs in Bosnia which are beginning to deal with this problem.
