This grandious project, also known as Doomsday Vault or Present-day Noah's Ark, undoubtedly deserves the gratitude of mankind. On the other hand, it's just another example of those extreme measures we are forced to take to repair at least some of the damage we keep causing to all living species with our wars, our greed and our negligence.

This Is My Land
»What local people?«
For centuries now, the ancient rights of the indigenous Sámi people have been subject to injustice and exploitation. One of the latest menaces is the Nordic mining boom that severely threatens the traditional Sámi way of life and especially reindeer herding.
Beowulf Mining is a UK-based exploration company planning to establish an iron mine (Kallak mine) in Jokkmokk, a municipality located in the Swedish province of Norrbotten. The plan has met resistance from the indigenous Sámi people as well as other local inhabitants. On July 1, 2013, protesters set up a road blockade in order to prevent test drilling. On July 30, the blockade was dismantled by the police, but on the next day it was set up again.
»What local people?« was the arrogant answer to the protesters by Clive Sinclair Poulton, CEO of Beowulf Mining. Here's a video clip and the protesters' comment to it.

![Oi sodan surkeutta](img/upl/civilians-mosul-iraq-isis-war-casualties-faces-of-war-cengiz-yar-16-1499787183.jpg)
This little song, powerful in all its simplicity, came to my mind when translating Ach, Krieg, Krieg!. The origin of the song is unknown. It has been first written down in 1891 for the archives of the Finnish Literature Society and published by Merja Hurri in her 1982 book Rauhanlauluja, Peace Songs.

La chanson de Craonne
Anonymous
![La chanson de Craonne](img/upl/cralau.jpg)
Tämä sodanvastainen laulu kuvaa ranskalaisten sotilaiden mielialoja ensimmäisen maailmansodan mielettömien taistelujen melskeissä. Craonne on Chemin de Dames'in kukkulaseudulla sijaitseva pieni ranskalainen kylä, joka hävitettiin maan tasalle huhtikuussa 1917 Ranskan armeijan ylipäällikön kenraali Robert Nivellen johtamassa ympärysvaltojen suurhyökkäyksessä (Nivellen offensiivi), jonka oli määrä murtaa saksalaisten linjat 48 tunnissa mutta jonka jälkeen verinen sota jatkui vielä puolitoista vuotta.
Laulun julkinen esittäminen Ranskassa oli kielletty aina vuoteen 1974 asti. Tekijän nimen paljastamisesta luvattiin aikanaan miljoonan frangin palkkio, mutta tekijä on pysynyt tuntemattomana jo yli sadan vuoden ajan. [JR]

Liisa Tavi (born in 1956) is a Finnish singer-songwriter known for her great interpretations of Jäähyväiset aseille(Farewell to Arms), Violeta Parra's Gracias a la vida (Elämälle kiitos) and Chico Buarque's Funeral de um lavrador (Kuinka paljon ihminen tarvitsee maata).
Here's a little story about how ignorant one can be: Kun palaan nuoruuteeni (Returning to My Youth) by Liisa Tavi with its lyrics full of beautiful metaphors has been one of my greatest favorites ever since it was released 40 years ago. I have always known that the original song is by Violeta Parra, but I've never been aware of the original title, i.e. until yesterday evening when I finally took my time to listen to the audio sample provided in the Antiwarsongs news from Violeta's anniversary a month ago. And there it was! So thanks a lot for putting an end to my forty years of ignorance.
