The Global African - Understanding Libya

Each week on “The Global African” host Bill Fletcher, Jr. addresses issues facing Africa and the African Diasporas. Today's program deals with the situation in Libya, where three years after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi, two governments -one claiming the mantel of nationalism, the other Islamic fundamentalism- are fighting a war of attrition for control amid generalized chaos. To unravel some of the complexities of current day Lybia, Fletcher interviews Horace Campbell, author of "Global NATO and the catastrophic failure in Lybia" and Clay Clayborne, left-wing activist, blogger, and filmmaker. teleSUR

Nearly half of students were exposed to bullying or worse forms of victimization in 2011, according to a new study in the Journal of School Violence.

Researchers for the study conducted a national telephone survey in 2012, of youth and parents, to assess exposure to in-school victimization during the previous year.

The study included assessments of 3,391 children and youth ages 5 to 17; nearly half of whom, 48 percent, had been exposed to at least one form of victimization.

The most reported form of victimization was intimidation/bullying (29.8 percent).
