The Most Underreported News of 2009 (So Far--)
by Dan Clore

This is a selection of underreported news taken from my Smygo list.
Subjects include anarchist and libertarian activism around the world,
the crimes of states (notably Israel), the Iraqi civil resistance, the
economic crisis, worker-owned-and-controlled businesses, commentaries by
Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn, etc.

I encourage readers to add their own suggestions, from any source.

Ethiopia Finally Leaves Somalia Quagmire
(When the Ethiopians invaded Somalia in December, 2006, they purportedly

actually abandoned their bases in the country. The African
Union has only partially supplied replacement troops and Somalian
Islamists, notably the hardline al-Shabaab, are taking over.)
