KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) -- Tens of thousands of Sudanese have marched through Khartoum, protesting plans to deploy U.N. peacekeepers in conflict-torn Darfur and demanding the expulsion of the top U.N. and U.S. envoys in the country.
The Sudanese government also increased its opposition to the deployment, with a top official warning on Wednesday that violence will only increase if U.N. troops move in to replace African Union peacekeepers.
"If the U.N arrives the troubles will spread in the region," Mohamed Elsamani, Sudan's minister of state for foreign affairs, said in Nairobi.

Church roof collapse kills 27 in Uganda

Thursday, March 9, 2006 Posted: 0048 GMT (0848 HKT)

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) -- A brick wall at a partly constructed church collapsed onto the congregation at a Wednesday evening service during a rain storm in the Ugandan capital, killing at least 27 people, police and rescue officials said.
Eighty-six injured people were taken to Kampala's Mulago Hospital, deputy director Isaac Exati said. The hospital trauma room has only 20 beds, and most of the wounded lay moaning on the floor, screaming for their families. Hundreds of relatives gathered outside the hospital waiting for word of the survivors' conditions.
"We were in the church for the service and it was raining very heavily," said Nsubuga Hannington, who was in the hospital with a minor head injury. "All of a sudden, I heard a crash and the wall fell down."

Every official that comes in

Cripples us leaves us maimed

Silent and tamed

And with our flesh and bones

He builds his homes

Southern fist

Rise through the jungle mist

Clenched to smash power so cancerous

A black flag and red star

A rising sun loomin' over Los Angeles

Cause for Raza livin in La La

Is like Gaza on to tha dawn of Intifada

Reach for tha lessons tha masked pass on

And seize tha metropolis

It's you that it's built on

Everything can change on a new years day

As everything changed on new years day

Everything can change on a new years day

As everything changed on new years day

War within a breath

It's land or death
