Guinea worm disease is poised to be only the second disease (after smallpox) ever to be eradicated, says Jimmy Carter, former US President and Emory University Distinguished Professor. Here he describes the first time he saw a person with this ancient disease and The Carter Center's two-decades-plus fight against the worm. BACKGROUND The Carter Center—founded in 1982 in partnership with Emory University—seeks to improve the quality of life for people worldwide, advance human rights, and alleviate unnecessary suffering. Its health programs look to fill vacuums in global health, areas where no other group is effectively, and that is where Guinea worm comes in. When Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter started to identify those vacuums, the biggest gap they discovered in the past 30 years was in the prevention and treatment of neglected tropical diseases. "We adopted them because no one else wanted to fool with them," says Carter.

WORLD WAR II SUBSCRIBE TO EXCELLENT WORLD WAR II VIDEOS Japan seized the Palau Islands, along with the rest of Micronesia, from Germany in World War I. Receiving a mandate from the League of Nations after the war, Japan established its administrative headquarters for Micronesia at Koror, the capital of the Republic of Palau today. On Peleliu Island, thirty miles south of Koror, a phosphate crushing plant was established and, by World War II, an excellent airfield had been constructed. When war came, the Palaus served as a staging area and replacement depot for Japan's forces in the Netherlands, East Indies, and New Guinea. The battle for Peleliu Island, the Gateway to the Philippines, was the longest and one of the most hard-fought battles in the entire Central Pacific amphibious operations of World War II. In contrast to earlier combats where the Japanese had vainly attempted to annihilate the enemy on the beaches, Peleliu's defenses were organized with the main line of resistance established inland, artillery and mortar fire registered on the beaches, and defenses skillfully arranged in depth in order to sustain resistance to an attack while destroying the enemy. Although the crack Japanese troops lost the battle, their new tactics enabled them to inflict heavy losses on American Marine and Army forces and to hold out for 74 days. While some strategists have argued that the capture of Peleliu was not a necessary preliminary for the coming struggle in the Philippines ...

The forgotten land of West Papua is under brutal Indonesian military occupation. Its tribal people are being slaughtered, and their unique environment destroyed. But the world is doing nothing to stop it. In 1963, in violation of international law, Indonesia occupied and colonised the West Papuan homeland in the western part of New Guinea. Since that tragic event the West Papuans are asking for a fair referendum about their independence. At least 100.000 indigenous people lost their lives in this secret war.

1 February 1999 President Joao Bernardo Vierra and Brigadier Amsumane Mane used to be comrades-in-arms. They fought together for liberation from their Portuguese colonisers. They went on to govern together - Vierra as President, Mane as the Army's #1. But in January 1998 Vierra accused him of shipping arms to rebels in Senegal. Desperate to maintain favour with his volatile neighbour state, Vierra finally sacked Mane on June 5th. Mane then launched a coup attempt to oust Vierra, who he maintains is autocratic and vain. Vierra hurriedly whipped-up support from Senegal and Guinea and drafted in troops to support him. Guinea-Bissau was plunged into a war in which both sides have rained their bombs on the civilian population with little apparent strategy.

May 2006 One of the most volatile and reclusive figures in PNG's recent history, Francis Ona has re-emerged from his mountain hideaway. Ona is the man who created the secessionist Bougainville Revolutionary Army, or BRA, in 1989 originally to fight against the operations of the Panguna mining company which Ona believed was destroying the land and environment, and paying little or no compensation to the owners of the land. The Panguna Mine - then the largest copper mine in the world - was closed, and remains closed today. The BRA fought a savage civil war for independence against the PNG government during the 1990s.

Rio Tinto funded Bougainville civil war says PNG PM To see more go to www.youtube.com Follow us on Facebook (goo.gl or Twitter (www.twitter.com Fourteen years after the end of a war that claimed one tenth of Bougainville's population, this exclusive report reveals explosive allegations by PNG's PM, Somare, that a mining giant funded the conflict. "The Government of PNG followed Rio Tinto's instructions and carried out its requests", reveals Sir Michael Somare, speaking about the brutal civil war fought over the world's biggest copper mine. The key players now want the mine re-opened, but Somare's allegations will complicate the talks. The conflict has also not been forgotten by the islanders. "We died for it, shed blood for it", one man says. They want the mine re-opened, but insist they will fight to ensure it remains closed until they are compensated for the past.
