Medical parole, or medical control

Former police chief Jackie Selebi has been granted medical parole, a move that has raised a few questions. However, it was heard that he has been giving himself dialysis treatment, but that this was becoming increasingly difficult as he is suffering from Parkinson's disease. A similar ruling was made regarding the medical state of convicted fraudster and President Jacob Zuma's former financial adviser. Is Selebi's medical condition as serious as it has been made out to be that will be the question.

My take....

So Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad decides to cede power today, but there are claims that this is not so. As the rebel forces close in on him, and his family, he decides that the actions of his supporters will lead to him becoming yet another victim, similar to that of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. However, his move may be tactical, but will this appease the rebels? The country has spiralled into an abyss, with the Western-backed UN resolution, calling for sanctions against the country. A move that has seen two countries, that being South Africa and Pakistan abstaining from the vote, while China and Russia have vetoed it. As the the peace brokered deal by Syrian envoy Kofi Annan, fell apart, the question remains as to whether Assad will keep to the agreement he made in allowing the country to be run democratically.

21st Century

Emotions bubble and boil inside of me

Waiting to surface naturally,

But I keep them bottled up,

Afraid of what they may be.

They could be tears, fears and angered shouts

The sounds that tear your heart right out

Its difficult you see,

This time we're in.

How can I better myself if there's no way to move...

Move forward that is.

And move out of this life of misery

Of struggle,

Even though it's the twenty first century.
