Germany's guest workers mark 20 years |
| The fall of the Berlin Wall was a time of celebration, but also one of fear and uncertainty in the old East Germany. A country, and an ideology, collapsed. Factories closed, jobs disappeared and old values were turned upside down. All of East German society felt the impact of those dramatic events, but perhaps none were as vulnerable as the country's foreign contract workers, or Vertragsarbeiter. Over the years, tens of thousands of people had travelled to East Germany from fellow Socialist countries in the developing world; places like Angola, Cuba, Mozambique and Vietnam. In theory, migrant workers enjoyed the same rights and responsibilities as other workers in East Germany. In practice they were socially isolated, living in special barracks, and personal contacts with German co-workers were firmly discouraged. When the wall fell in 1989, there were still some 90,000 Vetragsarbeiter in East Germany. Suddenly, the country and the ideology that had brought them to Europe had collapsed, and the majority were sent home. This was often a traumatic experience. Returnees to Mozambique, for example, struggled to adapt to their war-ravaged homeland. Today, many years later, they are still in an angry dispute with the Mozambican government about money owed from their time in East Germany. But a minority - perhaps as many as 20,000 Vetragsarbeiter - managed to stay in the new, unified Germany. Al Jazeera's Barnaby Phillips reports on how they have fared. | |

German guard recounts narrow escape |
| More than 130 people were killed trying to cross the border of East and West Berlin between 1961 and 1989. It was a difficult time, not just for civilians, but also for border guards who were conflicted about their roles. Al Jazeera's David Chater spoke with an East German guard who fled and became part of a refugee organisation that helped 350 people escape to safety in West Germany. | |

Israel keeps up Palestinian evictions |
| The United Nations, the United States and the European Union have all called on Israel to stop the illegal eviction of Palestinians and the demolition of their homes. Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary-general, urged Israel to end its "provocative actions" in East Jerusalem, while calling for it to freeze all settlement activity in the occupied West Bank. Despite that, the sight of Palestinians in East Jerusalem being forced out of their homes has become an all too familiar scene. Al Jazeera's Jacky Rowland reports from occupied East Jerusalem. | |

US House rejects Goldstone report |
| The US House of Representatives has passed a resolution that calls a UN-backed Gaza War crimes report "irredeemably biased." Largely a symbolic gesture, the non-binding vote urges the Obama administration to oppose any endorsement of Justice Richard Goldstone's findings. Goldstone's report accuses both Israel and Palestinian armed groups of committing violations of international humanitarian law during the war on Gaza. It calls on Israel and Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, to carry out independent investigations into alleged abuses. Brian Baird, a Democratic congressman, told Al Jazeera that the congressional resolution does not correctly represent the Goldstone report, but Steve Rothman, a Democratic congressman from New Jersey, has said that the report does not give enough attention to violations committed by Palestinians. | |
