DISORDER AT US UNIVERSITIES
OVER MIDDLE EAST WAR
While fighting carries on in the
Middle East, attention has turned to
university campuses in the United
States, where thousands of
students have been protesting
against Israel’s attacks on the Gaza
Strip.
From California in the west of the
United States, to Texas in the
south, and from Chicago in the
centre, to New York in the east.
Universities are usually places
where people say what they
believe, and have a lot of freedom
compared with the world outside
their grounds. It is very unusual for
the university authorities to call the
police to help, even when students
get out of hand.
Abigail Green
However, this has happened on
many campuses where there has
been damage to property, and
students wanting to attend lectures
as they would on a normal day
have been finding it difficult to do
so, because protesters stop them.
Many students have now been
arrested.

TAIWAN’S PARK OF STATUES
In the modern country of Taiwan,
which is on an island off the coast
of China, there is a park full of
statues that are all of the same
man.
Six years ago, the government
offered subsidies to local
authorities to remove the statues.
That man was the former leader of
Taiwan, called Chiang Kai-shek.
He led Taiwan after the Chinese
Civil War, when it became separate
from the People’s Republic of
China, where Chiang Kai-shek’s
enemy – the communists – have
been in power for seventy-five
years.
Although Taiwan today is a
democracy, where all adult citizens
may choose their future through
voting, Chiang Kai-shek was an
autocrat and was nasty to people
who went against him. The country
became peppered with statues of
him.
Stella Mullin
They have all been placed in a park
in which he is buried.
Some are still standing where they
were erected.

While most people in Taiwan prefer
their country not to be ruled by
communist China, which was what
Chiang Kai-shek spared them,
many say they do not need to see
his statue everywhere. Others say
it is fine to have his statues
around, because he is part of
Taiwan’s history and, although he
was a dictator, he made Taiwan
wealthy and developed.
To this day the People’s Republic
of China believes that it should rule
Taiwan, and often tries to scare the
island country by carrying out
military exercises nearby.
Quick quiz … Who led the island
country that broke away from the
rest of China in 1949?
Which country believes it should
rule that island?
GLOSSARY
He led Taiwan after
the Chinese Civil
War, when it became
separate from the
People’s Republic of
China, where Chiang
Kai-shek’s enemy –

have been in power
for seventy-five

The Chinese Civil
War was fought
between communists
and nationalists and
took place from 1945
to 1949.
Communism is a
system in which the
government owns all

changed a lot since

there, but it remains
ruled by the Chinese
Communist Party.
Although Taiwan
today is a democracy,
where all adult
citizens may choose
their future through

An autocrat is a ruler
who keeps all the
power to himself, and
does not allow others
to have much, or any,

The country became

If Taiwan is peppered
with statures, many
of them are scattered
all over the country.

Six years ago, the
government offered
subsidies to local
authorities to remove
them.
If the government of
Taiwan subsidises
local authorities to
get rid of statues, it
pays them a certain
sum of money to help
them do that job.
Local authorities are
local governments,
such as those that
run cities. They
usually get their
money from taxes
paid to them by the
people who live in the
cities, as well as
some from the
country’s
government.
Others say it is fine to
have his statues
around, because he
is part of Taiwan’s
history and, although
he was a dictator, he
made Taiwan wealthy
and developed.
A dictator is a ruler
who has total power
over a country,
without letting other
people have a say in
how it is run.
Some are still
standing where they
were erected.
“Erected” means “put

UK PREPARES TO SEND
MIGRANTS TO RWANDA
For years, many people from
distant places have been migrating
to the United Kingdom (UK) in
search of a better life.
They have not travelled there with
passports, as one does when one
travels legally. Many get as far as
mainland Europe and then cross
the English Channel on small
boats, hoping that the government
of the UK will allow them to stay
after they tell immigration
authorities how dangerous it is for
them to live in their home
countries.
The UK government offers political
asylum to some, but not all, such
people, and does not want more of
them to enter the country.
So, it has paid a lot of money to
Rwanda, a little country in the
Great Lakes Region of Africa, to
take them and let them live there.
The plan has not been popular with
many people in the UK, and with
many other governments. There
have been court cases in the UK to
try to stop the plan from
happening.
Stella Mullin
Illegal migrants’ biggest fears are
of not being safe in Rwanda, and
the thought that the government in
Kigali could eventually send them
back to their home countries.
However, the UK and Rwanda are
going ahead with the plan. The first
airline flights carrying such people
to the African country are expected
to take off soon.
The UK government hopes that fear
of landing up in Rwanda rather
than the UK will also make illegal
migrants not want to try the
dangerous English Channel
crossing in the first place.

ORANGUTAN MAKES HIS OWN
MEDICINE
Orangutans have always been
known to be intelligent creatures.
Scientists watching a male
Sumatran orangutan in its
rainforest habitat in Indonesia have
now discovered that these apes are
even more intelligent than they
thought.
They spotted him making his own
medicine to heal an open wound
that was below its eye.
He was seen chewing the leaves of
a vine, known to science as
Fibraurea tinctoria, and known to
have medicinal properties. Then,
he spat out the juice from the
leaves into his hand and gently
dabbed it on the wound.
A month later the wound had
healed!
The wound had probably been
inflicted during a fight with another
male.
Abigail Green
Humans use the same plant to treat
diseases such as dysentery,
malaria and diabetes.
Other orangutan species have been
known to rub chewed leaves onto
their skin to treat tired muscles, but
this is the first time an animal has
been seen to use a plant for its
medicinal properties.
Scientists hope that it will help

CASHLESS BUT NOT HUNGRY IN
HUNGARY
Most people in the modern world
try to earn more and more money
to survive, as goods become more
expensive and as technology
advances.
Many spend lots of money on
smart things, like fancy new cars
and fashionable clothes. They also
need to keep up with technology as
things like communication change
from letters written on paper to emails and WhatsApp messages, for
which they need devices.
However, there is a growing
number of people who are going
the other way and are against such
consumerism. They aim to live in a
less expensive way, so that they do
not have to earn so much money.
They often live both sustainably

processes that happen in the soil
can carry on undisturbed. They eat
only fresh produce that is in
season, so that they do not
promote the use of chemicals to
preserve such food. This helps
them to eat more healthily!
When people are self-sufficient,
they produce things such as
electricity themselves, often using
solar panels, and they harvest their
own water, often from their roofs.
This way they live off the grid.

Some Hungarians are using barter
markets to trade their surplus
produce with each other. That way
they can get fruit, vegetables and
food that they do not grow or make
themselves. No cash changes
hands, so the government gets
nothing in tax from such
transactions.
However, there are always things
that they cannot produce and
cannot acquire at a barter market,
so they need some cash. And, of
course, they need a bit of land,
which usually costs money to buy
or rent.
Quick quiz … How would people

If it’s your birthday today, you
share it with Eva Peron, who was a
famous First Lady of Argentina.
There is a song about her called
“Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina”. Eva
(also known as Evita) Peron was
born in 1919 and died in 1952.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
