Fingerprint graphic
Hey Noclip! What's with the graphic change on the British passport story about? Is that a change for the good... looks like crap! -Edbrown05 04:29, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

If you are tired of a lead story, change it or write a new one...! -Edbrown05 04:51, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Most other news sites have stock images for different kinds of stories. I thought posting an actual fingerprint online might not be the best idea so I made a new image. -- Noclip 10:48, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Wikinews Skin
I hate to be a bother, but if it's possible, could you chmod the test wiki that has your Wikinews design so the public could view the code, or at least publish it somewhere? If you don't want the design to be public, that's fine - I'd just like to know either way. ScarredSun 14:02, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, Wikinews.php isn't chmodded, but rather by its extension of SkinTemplate.php is rendered as a blank HTML document when viewed or downloaded. Because of these requests however, I've posted the code at Custom skin/Latest code

Any new movement on this project? Did you win? :-) I'd like to scarf this for a grographically local wiki I'm working on, if you're done with it and tis' available for such scarfage... --Baylink@en.w; jra@baylink.com

WikiNews Skin
Looking to use the WikiNews Skin on a project I'm currently working on using the MediaWiki backend, if the template is finished or not, I would be very interested in using it whatever state it may be in. Please contact me at admin@simplybrilliant.ca. Thanks, cheers.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Noclip. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Noclip~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:22, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.

Polish Weathermap
Hi Datrio,

Yes, it is possible to have a map which is zoomed in on Poland, using a higher resolution underlay that has more detail. I have such an underlay, but I haven't checked it in to the CVS repository because it is around 800MB in size.

I'm a little confused though. Is someone on the Polish Wikinews running WeatherChecker as well? I'm curious about your comment that the "program is pretty slow so far". It uses a lot of memory, so you need at least a one gigabyte of RAM to avoid paging your swap file.

When the Wikimedia servers aren't bogged down, I'm starting to run WeatherChecker in Automated Reporting mode (which generates hourly reports) for all languages of Wikinews, from my local machine each day, so you don't have to run WeatherChecker yourselves unless you really want to. There is also a potential to have some confusion if we don't coordinate other people running the software at the same time.

If you would like to run WeatherChecker yourselves, let me know and I will burn a DVD to mail to you, that has a modified version of WeatherChecker along with a high-resolution underlay with enough resolution to show a zoomed in map of Poland.

Otherwise, I'll be happy to add the region myself, and incorporate it in the next round of region additions for the regular reports.

Regards,

— DV 04:16, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Yes, Federico gave a great report about Wikinews in my Princeton seminar called Mass Media.

Indeed, everyone in the class seemed to enjoy learning about Wikinews, and Federico was a great speaker.

Bank of America declares 1.2 million account records "lost"

One of the biggest domestic banks in the United States, Bank of America, has admitted to losing computer tapes containing 1.2 million federal employee accounts, including the accounts of several U.S. senators, in a statement by the bank. According to the Pentagon, most of the accounts belong to staff and civilians in the Department of Defense. The bank said the tapes were lost in December 2004 as they were being transported to a data back-up centre by a commercial plane.

Currently, the U.S. Secret Service are looking in to the matter, a federal agency whose brief includes investigations of serious financial crime such as this. All parties concerned are worrying about possible identity theft as it contained valuable information such as bank account numbers, names and addresses.

Dear Michael,

Thanks so much for getting in touch. The initial news post was in fact an in-class demonstration on the merits of Wikinews. I hope you don't mind that I forwarded your note to several members of the class, including the Professor, who may be able to offer you more details.

I can confirm that I did indeed discuss Wikinews in WWS 309 Mass Media and Public Policy on Monday February 21, 2005.

My report on Wikinews was a basic overview of its history (evolution), ownership, viewership, and position in the news market. I will be interviewing Wikinews co-founder Jim Wales in the near future to discuss Wikinews in greater detail.

It seemed that the class thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and was impressed by the potential of this Wikinews technology to change traditional conceptions of news gathering.

I will be posting a blog on Wikinews in the near future that I will send your way.

Best wishes, Federico

Romania announces 18 percent increase in tourists in 2004

6.6 million tourists visited Romania in 2004, marking an 18% increase over 2003, announced the National Authority for Tourism (ANT). This was one of the highest rates of tourism growth in Europe. However, it remains slightly below the number of Romanians who spent their holidays in other countries throughout 2004 - a figure of 6.9 million.

Carmen Moraru, the promotion and marketing director at ANT said that many tourists came as part of holiday packages or tours, organised around the regions of Maramureş, Transylvania, Moldova, the Prahova Valley and the Danube Delta.

In 2005, the number of tourist arrivals is set to rise further, mainly due to a Romanian promotion campaign launched across Europe. The country's tourist revival is mainly due to its diversity - it is home to Europe's largest delta, the Black Sea Coast with its resorts, the Carpathian Mountains with their skiing and winter activities, Transylvania with its ecotourism, agritourism and beautiful landscapes, as well as the medieval history of cities like Sibiu and Sighişoara.

Cambridge Planning Board approves new science building at Harvard

The planning board of Cambridge, Massachusetts voted in unanimous approval of Harvard University's plan to build a 410,000 ft² (38 090 m²) science center at 24 Oxford Street, according to the local newspapers, The Harvard Crimson and the Cambridge Chronicle. More than half of the space in the building will be constructed underground.

The Northwest Science Building, as it will be called, will house the laboratories of roughly 30 Harvard science faculty members, as well as a chilled water plant and an electrical substation. The building was designed by Craig Hartman, an architect in the San Francisco office of, who also completed Harvard University Master Plan in 2002, according to the firm's website. Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill also designed such notable buildings as Chicago's and the recently completed international terminal at the.

The vote to approve the plan occurred at the February 15, 2005, meeting of the Cambridge Planning Board at the City Hall Annex, 344 in Cambridge. In what the Harvard Crimson called a "departure from the norm," there were no comments from residents at the hearing. The Crimson reported that the Harvard officials at the meeting took this as "a signal that the community was well-informed about the project prior to the presentation." The sign advertising the hearing can be seen at right.

In related news, the Director of Urban Design for Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill's New York office, Vishaan Chakrabarti, will be speaking at the on March 1, 2005.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called GreatWhiteNortherner. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name GreatWhiteNortherner~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Ireland beat England 19-13 in the RBS Six Nations

February 27, 2005 Ireland has beaten England in a very close game of rugby at Dublin's Lansdowne Road in today's Rugby Union Six Nations Championship clash. Ireland got off to a perfect start, despite having to play against the wind; with a drop goal by Ronan O'Gara putting the homeside 3 points up after just four minutes. But due to some awful defence by the Irish, England too the lead with a try by Martin Corry and Charlie Hodgson had no trouble converting to put England ahead by four points. Ronan O'Gara quickly got another 3 point from a drop goal to bring the score to 7-6 in favour of England. Two minutes later England went behind after a successful Irish penalty. England went ahead again at twenty five minutes with a penalty from Hodgson after a dry spell of fifteen minutes for the visitors. Ireland earn't a hard fought drop goal just after the half hour mark by Ronan O'Gara.

At half time, Ireland were just marginally ahead at 12-10. Eight minutes into the second half, Ireland missed a chance to go five clear when an O'Gara penalty went wide. Hodgson got his third score with a drop goal at fifty seven minutes to bring England anhead by one point. However their lead was short lived as a Brian O'Driscoll try and subsequent conversion by Ronan O'Gara put the Irish ahead 19-13. Despite numerous strong attacks in the last fifteen minutes, England failed beat the Irish defense. Ronan O'Gara was the RBS Man of the Match

Two-headed baby has second head removed

February 27, 2005

An Egyptian baby, born with two heads, is recovering after a successful operation to remove the second head in Cairo on Thursday.

The ten-month old baby was suffering from a condition known as Craniopagus parasiticus, which is a medical condition where an undeveloped, parasitic twin head is attached to the body of a developed twin.

The second head was said to be able to smile and blink, but was not capable of independent life.

Manar Maged underwent a thirteen hour operation to have the head removed. There have only been eight cases of this condition recorded. A baby suffering from it underwent a similar operation in the Dominican Republic in February 2004 but did not survive.

Baby Manar is doing well and shows no signs of paralysis. It is expected that she will remain in intensive care for at least a week.

Nine rescued from roof of blazing Taiwanese skyscraper

February 27, 2005 Nine people were rescued by helicopter from the roof of a blazing skyscraper in Taiwan on Saturday.

The people were dining in the rooftop restaurant when a fire broke out lower in the 25 story Golden Plaza Tower. The fire is said to have started in a disco on the 18th floor at about 4pm local time.

Four people died in the fire, including two employees of the tower. The body of a security officer was found on the 18th floor with another body found nearby. Two more were found in an elevator. Two or three people suffered minor injuries after inhaling smoke.

The building in Taichung, Taiwan's third largest city, houses offices, shops and schools.

Those fleeing the building at ground level had to cover their heads to protect themselves from falling glass and other debris. Fire fighters extinguished the blaze after an hour and a half.

Talk:Ireland beat England 19-13 in the RBS Six Nations

I'm probably stupid, but I had to click two links before I found out what this article was all about. Rugby is not a big sport in Sweden, so to mention this word somewhere in the article would have made it more intelligible to swedes like myself. :) Thx / Mats Halldin 18:52, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I assumed it was such an important game that it would'nt need Rugby to be in the title. There are currently 112 stories in a quick Google search for this story - however they are almost all UK, Ireland, S. Africa, Oceania news sources, so for global correctness perhaps Rugby: Ireland beat England 19-13 in the RBS Six Nations would be better. If you want, I have no objections to you moving the page if you feel it is too confusing as it is. CGorman 20:13, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Please, I enjoyed reading this article (just like one can enjoy reading a Wikipedia article about something you know absolutly nothing about). The title of the article is just fine, but IMO there should be at least one appearence of the word "Rugby" in the article. Just for the rest of the world to better enjoy it. :) / Mats Halldin 20:43, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I've added the word Rugby to the first sentence. Hope thats ok. Thanks for pointing out my mistake (it is a bit foolish to write an article on Rugby without mentioning the word rugby!) CGorman 21:26, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Pope John Paul II makes surprise appearance at window of his hospital room

February 27, 2005

Pope John Paul II made a surprise appearance at the window of his 10th floor hospital suite at Gemelli Hospital in Rome and waved to onlookers, shortly after he missed the weekly Angelus blessing for the first time in his 26-year papacy. It was his first public appearance following his tracheotomy on Thursday.

Archbishop Leonardo Sandri, substitute Secretary of State of the Vatican, performed the weekly Angelus blessing in the Pope's absence. He also read a message written by the Pope. "I ask you to continue to follow me with your prayers," it said.

The pope's appearance was broadcast worldwide on television and was shown on a giant screen in St. Peter's Square.

Talk:U.N. reports Afghan opium production is up again

I started working on updating this article, as an example for Paulrevere2005 early on Sunday. I understand good faith efforts were made to update the article by others, and that it has been listed on Deletion requests while I was incommunicado, but I felt it could still serve as an example so I have posted my updates.

Changes I am making to the article, and why
This is sort of a play-by-play of what changes I'm going to make to this article, Paulrever2005, so you might understand the logic hows and whys:
 * Removing hotlinked graphics
 * Under U.S. law, any graphic is copyrighted and must be explicitly released into the public domain or under another license which allows unrestricted use before it may be used on Wikinews (which is Public Domain.) Hotlinked graphics use the bandwidth of the host, and without written permission from the host it is unethical at best to use their resources to support Wikinews.

 * Create stronger lead sentence.
 * The most important information should be first, in as densely packed a form as can be written. Everything stated in the lead must be supported or expanded further into the article. This allows readers to quickly discover if the article is interesting or important enough for them to read fully, or if they should instead move on to another article.

 * Use specific reports
 * Although the "fact sheet" used covers the information about Afghanistan, the executive summary of the AFGHANISTAN OPIUM SURVEY 2004 is more precise, and has more specific comments relevant to the article title.

 * Use current, relevant titles for persons
 * Doug Wankel is the Counter Narcotics Coordinator at the U.S. Embassy (not the "American Embassy") in Afghanistan; what he was is secondary.

 * Do not use extensive exact quotes from another news source. Cite appropriately.
 * Quoting an entire paragraph verbatim may be a copyright violation when quoting a news source, if that paragraph is the heart or central element of the article. Rather than taking the risk, find a way to restate the information, especially if it may be correlated or expanded with additional information from other sources. If the original source is not online and verifiable, do not use it.

 * Focus on a single, specific, event. Do not interpret.
 * The title of this article, and the citations included, squarely focus this article on the UN's assessment of opium production in Afghanistan. Although the actions of the U.S. administration may be interesting news in their own right, and deserving of an article, this article does not cover the U.S. administration except as they specifically affect or address the UN's assessement of opium production in Afghanistan. The UN's report discusses the destabilizing effect of the trade, so Doug Wankel's comments are relevant. The Superbowl advertisements and Mr. Rumsfeld's comments (out of context) do not address the UN's report.

 * Citations should be available to readers
 * Do not use citations which require a membership, fee, or are not actually available. Often an article is available through another source, rather than the original source's restricted archives; search using a good internet search engine, and check the way-back-machine if necessary.
 * Use the template, or create a complete citation which includes the following information:
 * Author of the article if known (first three for academic articles, none for "staff")
 * Title and link to article. On Wikinews this can be created using " [url Title] ".
 * Publisher's name, or publication. Initial wire service if an article from a news source (for example, a Reuters article in The Warren Sheaf, a small town press, is published by Reuters. An article from a scientific journal would list the journal name, since a given publisher (for example Sage) may publish several-to-many journals.
 * Date of article's publication.

I have put several hours into bringing this article into compliance with some of the journalistic standards expected on Wikinews. I will not, nor am I expected to have, time to prepare each article you wish to submit in this manner. If you cannot put forth the effort to research your article, support it and write it you cannot expect others to do so for you. - Amgine 22:40, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Wikinews:Awareness statistics

This page is the Wikinews equivalent of Wikipedia's awareness statistics. Its purpose is to collect a wide range of data within regular intervals on how Wikinews is perceived on the Internet and offline. See also Modelling Wikinews' growth. Note this is most likely quite outdated.

 * See also: Page Hits toplist (compare traffic | searches)

Average amount of visits
To date, July has yielded 28,500 average individual visits per day.

Visits per day
This is a calculation of the visits per day on selected days. It is based on Wikinews Usage Statistics - the statistics on that page no longer display visits per day, a vital statistic we use for the following data.

News Article Count
Many of the pages created each month here at Wikinews are talk pages, user pages, admin pages, so it can be difficult to grasp how many news articles are published each month. That's why I've compiled the following information from old categorizations and digests. It should be fairly accurate, althought the figures will not add up to the total number of legitimate articles according to the stats page. This is due to a) less reliable figures for dec and nov, exclusion of pages such as tsunami help, exclusion of pages never properly published on main page - but still in existence.

Construction for Romania-Italy pipeline to start in 2007

The construction of the oil pipeline linking Constanţa, Romania with Trieste, Italy could commence as soon as 2007, claims Eugen Tapu, the Romanian State Secretary in the Economy and Trade Ministry. The exact date will depend on how fast the countries involved in the project can sign the project.

The pipeline will run from Constanţa, Romania's largest port on the Black Sea, through Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia before ending up in Trieste, northern Italy. Tapu named Chevron Texaco, British Petroleum and OMV among the companies interested in the project.

The oil pipeline is expected to cost Romania 1.9 billion euro.

Romanian VAT to remain at 19 percent

The Romanian Finance Minister Ionuţ Popescu has responded to public fears of a rise in (VAT) by saying that Romania's VAT will remain at 19% and will not increase. He rejected rumours that the value added tax, which is applied to most goods and services, will increase due to negotiations with the International Monetary Fund and a need to boost government revenue.

After introducing a low flat tax rate of 16% on January 1, 2005, which applies to both personal income and corporate profits, the government has had to fund the tax cuts through alternative means, including increases in other types of taxation, to avoid running a high budget deficit. For example, from April 1, the government will increase as well as a range of other taxes. Despite the increase, Romania continues to have one of the lowest fiscal burdens in Europe due to the new 16% flat tax rate.

Three Romanian ports closed due to heavy fog

The Romanian Black Sea ports of Constanţa, Midia and Mangalia were closed on Saturday due to heavy fog. The Danube-Black Sea Canal was also caused due to reduced visibility. The canal, which runs for 64 km, is an important part of the European shipping channel that links the North Sea to the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.

The port closures left 54 ships in the harbour or stranded at sea, said Alexandru Mezei, the director of shipping navigation at Constanţa Port, the largest port in Romania. However, he claims that the closure was necessary to prevent accidents from occurring, as the fog had reduced visiblity below safe levels.

Gene switch turns stem cells into cancer killers

February 28, 2005 A has been discovered that turns  into  killers, promising new treatments that boost the body's ability to destroy tumors.

scientists from the in Daejeon say that the gene,  (VDUP1), spurs stem cells to become.

These components of the can eliminate virus-infected and cancerous cells. Research leader Inpyo Choi says the team observed that VDUP1 plays a decisive role in causing stem cells to become natural killers.

The discovery was made by examining mice bred to lack the gene. The mice had a dramatic reduction in the number and activity of natural killer cells.

Besides determining the gene's importance to the immune system, Choi and colleagues have developed technology needed to spur the creation of natural killers from a person's own stem cells.

Choi calls this "the first step toward developing new treatments using our own immune system to fight cancers and other serious diseases."

The research is reported in the journal .

Rare antibody yields AIDS vaccine insight

A rare antibody has yielded insight into creating an effective AIDS vaccine.

Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California and several other institutions say that the neutralizing antibody broadly defuses HIV.

Neutralizing antibodies are secreted into the bloodstream following exposure to a virus, where they bind to viral particles, prevent them from infecting cells and spur their destruction. Because neutralizing antibodies attack viruses before they enter cells, they could form the basis for effective AIDS vaccines if present before exposure to HIV. But while the body makes many antibodies against HIV, they are usually unable to neutralize the virus. Some people, however, do produce effective neutralizing antibodies for HIV.

Dennis Burton of Scripps and colleagues have now described the structure of one of these, called 4E10. In tests, the antibody neutralized nearly 100 strains of HIV from around the world.

Isolated about a decade ago from an HIV-infected person by study coauthor Hermann Katinger of the Institute for Applied Microbiology of the University of Agriculture in Vienna, Austria, the antibody shows what type of structure can neutralize HIV.

It appears that 4E10 targets an area on the HIV surface protein GP41 that the virus uses to fuse its membrane to a human cell's membrane during infection.

Because the antibody's structure shows what this area on HIV's surface looks like, it provides scientists with a template for reverse-engineering components for AIDS vaccines.

The research is reported in the journal Immunity.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Wikibob. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Wikibob~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:23, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

"Gift economy"
Using the word 'economy' is perhaps inaccurate. Do you get paid for your service contributions to Wikimedia? -Edbrown05 09:31, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Bumper sticker suggestion: Give the gift participation -Edbrown05 09:43, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * From the themes of people who oppose this approach, that is... specifically in reference to ... 'an open participatory process', opponents to this approach believe that it leads to not good knowledge nor wisedom. Who are we to argue with that? -Edbrown05 09:51, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Contest
I am in the process of trying to build support for a new writing contest here on Wikinews. I'm putting up 100 euro of my own money, and I've spoke to Ral315 about getting an advert in the Signpost. Unfortunately it seems most Wikinewsies have spent all their spare cash on donations to the foundation (or beer, many are students...). Can you offer something for the prize pot? Do you want to give some input on what would be an appropriate format for a "friendly" competition on a wiki? --Brian McNeil / talk 10:33, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

 * As a rejoiner to Brian's remarks, I'm in remembrance of the old adage that, "the ends justify the means". The word play is 'knowledge' and 'means'. The most recent fund raiser by the WMF suggested: "Give the gift of knowledge", a slogan that jumped past the 'means' to that end, where the 'means' is participation. Lose participation, that spells the end of it. The orientation of WMF must never depart from its user base. -Edbrown05 11:05, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not even really about its byproduct, a useful reference for information, it's about it's people.

 * Comment: I don't think that it would make sense for the WMF to issue prizes or money for article contests — it would make the foundation an active publisher that is paying for content. Additionally, I think that Anthere doesn't check this page very often; you may want to email her or post on some wiki she frequents more often. -- IlyaHaykinson 20:14, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Welcome

Our key policies - if you read anything, read these! Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews: There are always things to do on Wikinews: By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes ( ~~~~ ), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! CGorman 21:20, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Leopard. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Leopard~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:20, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Lebanese Government resigns amid protests

February 28, 2005 The Lebanese Government has resigned amid a protest by 10,000 people in Martyrs Square. The Syrian-backed government lead by Prime Minister Omar Karami was under pressure in recent weeks, particularly after former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri was killed earlier this month.

The protests were demonstrating over Syria's large military presence in Lebanon. Syria has over 14,000 troops in Lebanon.

Announcing his resignation, Karami said, "Out of concern that the government does not become an obstacle to the good of the country, I announce the resignation of the government I had the honour to lead." In response to the governments decision to resign, opposition leader Walid Jumblat said, "The people have won."

The Syrian Government, which backed the government of Mr Karami said that the matter was "an internal affair" for Lebanon.
