Thousands Gather to Protest Brexit

One woman discovers Rough Roads Ahead in some of the most remote places on earth.
In past century, humanity has seen more changes to its way of life than ever before in history, and with them new challenges. But what about the most remote communities and those whose way of life hasn’t changed in hundreds of years… or has it?
To find out what it means to live and to be a woman in the remotest corners of our planet, a young scientist turned adventurer leaves behind the frontiers of modern research, for the frontiers of our modern world.
For almost 50 years, a brutal civil war has been going on between the indigenous population of West Papua and the occupying military forces of Indonesia. It has cost the lives of an estimated 600 000 civilians and has displaced many more. Accurate statistics on the conflict however, are hard to come by, since international NGOs are barred from the country, including the Red Cross and United Nations (apart from a few rare exceptions).
The conflict began in 1969, when a commission of 1025 men and women, appointed by the Indonesian armed forces, were tasked to vote on behalf of a native population of almost a million, in favour of giving up the country’s sovereignty. With this so-called “Act of Free Choice”, often referred to as the “Act of No Choice”, the western half of the Papuan island became part of Indonesia. The Malenesian population’s fight for independence has been going on ever since and hundreds of thousands have fled violence, war and oppression across the Fly River, to neighbouring Papua New Guinea.

Martial Arts are often more than a sport. They are a social group, a support structure and for many people Martial Arts is therapy. It’s something they could not imagine living without.

Riot in Dover
National Front and Anti-Fascist Network clash at a demonstration in Dover.
On Saturday, Sep.12th, 2015 National League and Anti-Fascist network clash in a number of confrontations at the protest in Dover.
At 12:10 pm, the Anti-Fascist Network begin their march at Pancester Gardens, heading for “The Castle”, meeting-point of the National Front. Only minutes later the situation escalates in the streets surrounding the pub.
After 20 minutes, Kent Police briefly manage to separate the groups and create some distance between the protesters, before they break away from police lines.
After a few confrontations, which saw a number of people injured and at least one car window smashed, the protesters disperse in the midafternoon.
