  • Colombia, Latin America
    Colombia, Latin America The flag of Colombia was officially adopted on November 26, 1861. The yellow band takes up half the flag and signifies the gold found in the Colombian land. The blue stripe represents the seas off its shores and red stands for the blood spilled on the battlegrounds for freedom. Other interpretations of the colors include the sovereignty and justice (yellow), loyalty and vigilance (blue) and valor and generosity (red). Colombia is located near the equator. Therefore, the majority of the time the weather is very hot. The climate is tropical and it is humid along the coast and WEATHER eastern plains. In the highlands of the Andes Mountains it’s significantly cooler. Colombia has five natural regions, each region usually maintains a constant temperature throughout the year. LIFESPAN Life expectancy on average is 75 years old (males 71 years, females 78 years). Despite a serious armed conflict, Colombia has experienced positive growth over the past several years. However, high unemployment is a major concern ECONOMY and is contributing to extreme inequality in the income distribution of the population. Over 45% of the population is below the poverty line. RELIGION Catholic 90% and others 10%. The educational experience of many Colombian children begins with preschool academy until the age of 5. Basic education is compulsory and has two stages (primary and secondary). In many rural areas teachers are poorly qualified and only five years of primary schooling are offered.

    Ecuadors' Debt: Ecuador Gets Chávez'd Extrait du CADTM http://cadtm.org/Ecuadors-Debt-Ecuador-Gets-Chavez Ecuadors' Debt: Ecuador Gets Chávez'd Date de mise en ligne : Monday 23 May 2005 CADTM Copyleft CADTM Page 1/4 Ecuadors' Debt: Ecuador Gets Chávez'd George Bush has someone new to hate. Only twenty-four hours after Ecuador's new president took his oath of office, he was hit by a diplomatic cruise missile fired all the way from Lithuania by Condoleezza Rice, then wandering about Eastern Europe spreading “democracy.― Condi called for “a constitutional process to get to elections,― which came as a bit of a shock to the man who'd already been constitutionally elected, Alfredo Palacio. What had Palacio done to get our Secretary of State's political knickers in a twist? It's the oil—and the bonds. This nation of only 13 million souls at the world's belly button is rich, sitting on 4.4 billion barrels of known oil reserves, and probably much more. Yet 60 percent of its citizens live in brutal poverty; a lucky minority earn the “minimum― wage of $153 a month. The obvious solution—give the oil money to the Ecuadoreans without money—runs smack up against paragraph III-1 of the World Bank's 2003 Structural Adjustment Program Loan. The diktat is marked “FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY,― which “may not be disclosed― without World Bank authorization. TheNation.com has obtained a copy. The secret loan terms require Ecuador to pay bondholders 70 percent of the revenue received from any spike in the price of oil.

    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: BETWEEN REBEL FLAGS: IRAQI VEXILLOLOGY AND STATE ICONOGRAPHY, 1921 – 2017 John T. Andrews, Master of Arts 2020 Thesis directed by: Professor Peter Wien Department of History In under a century of existence, the Republic of Iraq has adopted seven national flags. The circumstances of these modifications occurred under times of tremendous political transformation following wars and military coups. The evolution of Iraqi vexillology often corresponded to sub-national violence and direct challenges to state authority. This thesis considers Iraqi identity through the lens of its national flags and iconography from 1921 to 2017. It argues that Iraqi flags and iconography constitute an archive revealing a national identity organized around an emphasis on ethnicity and transhistorical relationships.

Colombia is no exception, and for many years, the country has been subjected to just that. In contemporary times, discussions of Colombia have been largely dominated by la Violencia, promulgating images of Colombia does provide a necessary context to many of the current issues in the country.
