    BOGOTA, Colombia (AP)
    The women of the Colombian town of Barbacoas have declared their sex strike over.

    It is not clear how many women took part, and compliance is impossible to prove. But the women of the remote southwestern town say their demand for a road was met.

    They announced June 22 that they would deny their partners sex until authorities began paving a 35-mile (57-kilometer) road linking the town of 35,000 people with the provincial capital of Pasto.

    Army engineers began work Tuesday. The paved road will cut travel time by at least six hours.

    Barbacoas Mayor Jose Arnulfo Preciado tells The Associated Press he'll happily submit to a polygraph to prove the protest was honored. He says his wife slept in a separate room during the strike

    ajhons, this was an interesting tale on how to achieve one's political goals when one has really made up one's mind that something must absolutely be done. A new chapter has been opened in the strikers' book of how to proceed under certain circumstances.

    And it comes at the right time, too, now that strikes are becoming a daily occurrence in certain places such as Greece and elsewhere in the west. In our own Pakistan, practically no day passes without some protest action filling our streets. But this aspect of things has hardly ever been mentioned on this blog, obsessed as it is with PMLN and PMLQ, etc.

    So I'm grateful you posted this item which I should not have known about had you not done so. Good women of Barbacoas, our many thanks for your courage and perseverance. And congratulations on your success.
