Beginning in August, the monsoon season hit Pakistan and has come to devastate the province of Sindh.

With little aid and relief, the Sindhi people are suffering from diseases, loss of livelihood, and nowhere to go.

 

Join us to learn more about the Sindh, who the people are, and most importantly, how the Sindh region plays a crucial part in the United States' relationship with Pakistan and its security interests.

Nizamani—Teaches Political Science at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, Canada.  From 2000-2001, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Nonproliferation Studies at the Monterey Institute of International Studies.  From 2001 to 2003, he was a Global Security and Cooperation Fellow of the Social Science Research Council at UBC's Institute of International Relations, as well as a Visiting Fellow at the Sustainable Development Policy Institute in Islamabad.
  • Dr. Louis Flam—Professor of archaeology, paleoecology, geoarchaeology and South Asian Studies at the City University of New York (CUNY).  Some of his writings include:  "The Other Side of the Mountains: Explorations in the Kirthar Mountains Region of Western Sindh, Pakistan" from Arabia and Her Neighbors: Essays on Prehistoric and Historic Developments Presented in Honor of Beatrice de Cardi, "Explorations in the Sindh and the Sindh Archaeological Project" from Explorations in Art and Archaeology of South Asia, and "Fluvial Geomorphology of the Lower Indus Basin (Sindh, Pakistan) and the Indus Civilization" from Himalaya to the Sea: Geology, Geomorphology and the Quaternary.

Additionally, he has presented briefings on human rights in Sindh at the 2004 and 2005 sessions of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights in Geneva.
  • Dr. Geeta Chainani--After having been raised in America, Dr. Geeta Chainani's identity as a Sindhi brought her back to Pakistan in search of her family history. An unexpected twist of fate brought her face to face with what is now being termed as the "greatest natural disaster of our time" – the massive flooding that began on July 29, 2010. After witnessing the great burden of disease whose victims mainly consisted of women and children, Dr. Chainani decided to dedicate the rest of her trip to providing emergency medical care in two tent cities. Confronted with the great humanitarian crisis following the floods and the response to her community's increasing interest in her work in Pakistan, Dr. Chainani realized she was the only one to bridge this divide. Life Bridge was founded as that bridge. Since Sept 2, 2010, Dr. Chainani continues to volunteer her services in the villages of interior Sindh. Together, Team Life Bridge US and Team Life Bridge Pakistan work to bridge the gaps in issues related to health, water, Sanitation and Hygieneshelterfood, and income generating activities focused on women. Dr. Chainani was granted a Doctor of Medicine degree by Windsor University School of Medicine, St. Kitts. 

Topics of discussion:

  • The ongoing flood which has devastated much of Sindh Province
  • The United States—Pakistan relationship
  • United States aid and assistance in Sindh Province

£54m divorce for Aga Khan...and he's got off lightly as it could have been £500m



By Christopher Leake and Peter Allen


Last updated at 11:17 PM on 1st October 2011

 

Billionnaire racehorse owner and playboy the Aga Khan has paid out
£54 million to divorce his second wife. 


Six years ago, his split from his German-born former pop singer wife, the Begum Inaara Aga Khan, was billed as potentially the most expensive divorce in history with a £500 million price tag.


All over: The Aga Khan and his wife the Begum Inaara have finally agreed a deal

All over: The Aga Khan and his wife the Begum Inaara have finally agreed a deal


But on Friday, papers filed at the Appeal Court in Amiens in northern France revealed a deal with his second wife, Begum Inaara, has finally been struck – at a tenth of that figure.

The Aga Khan – who is worth £6 billion, owns 600 racehorses and has homes on five continents – moved legal proceedings across the Channel in the hope of getting a better settlement than he would have expected in the UK.







And last night he appeared to have saved himself a fortune by shifting the case to France.

The payout is by far the largest ever awarded in France, where civil settlements are comparatively low.

The deal between the Aga Khan, 73, and the former Gabriele zu Leiningen is understood to include the Berkshire estate where she lives with their 11-year-old son, Prince Aly.

Smiles: Inaara married Aga Khan in 1998

The settlement follows claims by Begum Inaara, 51, that her husband was seeing an air hostess.

Papers filed in the French court reveal that relationship between the Aga Khan and his wife had 'irretrievably broken down' within a couple of years of their society wedding on the Aga Khan's estate at Aiglemont, north of Paris, in 1998. 


The court papers stated his wife hired a private detective to track his movements with the air hostess. 


The revelations will be a huge embarrassment for the Aga Khan. He is the spiritual leader of 20 million Ismaili Muslims, who donate significant sums to him and worship him as their god, or 'bringer of light'.

The Aga Khan is a British citizen but spends most of his time across the Channel, meaning that French judges were able to draw a line under divorce proceedings that had failed to reach a settlement at London's High Court in 2004. 


The French court ruled that the Begum should receive the £56 million on the grounds that the couple had a secure relationship for at least two years. It overturned a lower court award of just £10.3 million.

The Aga Khan divorced his first wife, Sally Croker-Poole, a former English model, in 1995 – paying £20 million to the mother of three of his children. 


His second wife, born Gabriele Homey in Frankfurt, was previously married to German royal Prince Earl-Emich zu Leiningen. They divorced in 1997.

The Aga Khan's divorce settlement is dwarfed by that of UK-based Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky, who in July paid his ex-wife Galina between £165 million and £220 million. 


That shattered the previous record UK divorce payout of up to £60 million by Madonna to Guy Ritchie in 2008.

A source close to the divorce case said last night: 'I'm sure that the Begum is thrilled with the settlement. She is not going to want for anything.'

The Aga Khan now spends most of his time on his estate near Chantilly, north of Paris. He was not available for comment.

Limits on text messaging proposed

Unsolicited communications upsetting millions

Dirt cheap SMS rates only serving operators

e-commerce regulations should be improved

 

 

Islamabad: Oct 02

The Pakistan Society Watch (PSW) on Sunday demanded limits on sending text messages so that millions of subscribers receiving unwanted messages can get some relief.

 

Millions of text messages are sent and received daily which help officials to claim achievement and support operators to expand business.

 

However, authorities and companies seems little concerned about the its impact on society and trouble it causes to subscribers, said Syed Makhdoom Abbas, President of the PSW.

 

Cell phone owners receive dozens of unsolicited commercial messages, poetry, jokes, rumours, appeals etc on daily basis due to the facility of sending thousands of text messages against a small payment.

 

Frequent campaigns by operators inviting consumers to spend more in the name of lucky draws and quizzes to win gold, cars and costly gifts etc has added to the problem.

 

Bulk SMS packages have helped many to start m-commerce business without realising that people respond negatively to unwanted text messages; he said adding that ethics should not be compromised for profits.

 

Syed Makhdoom Abbas said that unlimited SMS packages should be discontinued and a limit of 50 messages per day should be imposed on every mobile phone subscriber.

 

This will not end spamming but it will reduce the number of fraudulent messages and inconvenience to 108,894,518 subscribers, majority of whom are victims of privacy violations, he observed.

 

He said that a large number of youth have addicted to SMS which is compromising their abilities; this should be a matter of concern for the authorities.

 

Sending content to unsuspected recipients on their wireless devices having viruses has become a hobby for many, he disclosed.

 

Demanding improvement in e-commerce regulations, Abbas said that consumers should have right to disallow all or some messages through operator's helpline.
