L’OTAN attaque dans le Kunduz (Afghanistan)
Le 5 septembre dernier, les forces de l’OTAN ont lancé un raid aérien contre le village afghan de Haji Aman (province du Kunduz) où se trouvaient deux camions citernes volés peu auparavant par des Talibans sur l’autoroute Kunduz-Baghlan.
Après leur vol, ces Talibans avaient invité les villageois à faire gratuitement le ”plein d’essence”. Ce que ceux-ci faisaient au moment de l’attaque aérienne, alors que les Talibans avaient déjà quitté les lieux… Les villageois parlent d’environ 120 morts et un nombre indéterminé de blessés. Le nombre exact de ceux-ci est difficile à établir car plusieurs provenaient de villages des alentours.
Les mêmes villageois disent également que les pilotes qui les ont attaqués ont utilisé des bombes au phosphore (à ce sujet, je vous reporte au billet que j’ai déjà publié ici). Plusieurs personnes ont été réduites en cendres alors que d’autres sont devenus méconnaissables tant ils sont brûlés.
Ci-dessous, une fosse commune dans laquelle les Afghans ont commencé à enterrer leurs morts:

Statement of Iranian cartoonists on the 9th Tehran Cartoon Biennale
The recent presidential election in Iran and its aftermath found huge international coverage and attention.
As you may know, there was a huge and unprecedented turn-out in balloting, which was a sign of the Iranian people’s will to reform the current situation of the country. But the aftermath of the election was so desperately annoying that no free soul can ever close his eyes on it.
The same is true for the cartoonists. They have always accompanied people in portraying pains and in offering criticisms, in denouncing violence and in promotion of justice; and they have always called for peace. The same is true for the time being. The cartoonists feel an obligation to stand by people who have faced such unkindness.
We the cartoonists have always tried to laugh people out of pain and pressure. But how can one witness killing of brothers and sisters and still remain silent?
In such a situation, the 9th Tehran cartoon Biennale is on the way. Due to the post-election events, the cultural joy has totally disappeared from Iranian society. So we don not see any real interest in holding such a Biennale. In the current situation, we see our responsibility in a different perspective which does not necessarily include laughing and making laugh.
Due to this fact, we the undersigned cartoonists, declare that we would not participate in this international festival.
Previously, the festival has been held by cooperation and sympathy of professional Iranian cartoonists but this time, we would not cooperate or participate.

La souffrance d’un palestinien
Après un raid aérien israélien, les blessés et les morts s’additionnent en Palestine.
Pilgrim State Hospital (Brentwood, New York)
In the 1920s, New York State had operated six mental hospitals to facilitate the growing need for psychiatric care, and all were extremely overcrowded. The state’s answer was to build the solution to this problem once and for all – Pilgrim State Hospital.
Originally designed to house 12,500 patients on 1,900 acres of land, Pilgrim still holds the record of being the largest psychiatric hospital in the world – its peak patient population at one time was 16,000. The original hospital constructed from 1930-1941 consisted of four large continued treatment groups, each having about six separate buildings.
The hospital also included a large medical building where patients and employees with acute diseases would be diagnosed, as well as housing laboratories, consultation rooms, a nursing school, and the pathology department. This building was flanked by two large reception buildings, where new patients would stay for an average of one month to be examined and diagnosed. Each building was separated by gender, and connecting corridors on each floor allowed patients and staff to work closely and quickly between the related services they provided.
