Un antico rito barbarico si è consumato contro i resti mortali di Muammar Gheddafi.&lt;div style="border-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;span style="border-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Non è strano che ora le Nazioni Unite intendano avviare un'inchiesta&lt;/span&gt;. «Ci sono due video - ha detto il portavoce dell'Alto Commissario ai diritti umani -. Uno che lo mostra vivo e uno che lo mostra morto. E ci sono quattro o cinque versioni diverse su cosa è accaduto fra quei due video».&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ma c'è un problema aggiuntivo per i dirigenti della rivoluzione in Libia: non riescono a mettersi d'accordo tra loro sulle modalità della sepoltura. Difficoltà che mettono l'accento sulle potenziali lacerazioni politiche del futuro. Se non sono in grado di trovare l'unanimità in questo momento di gioia per la vittoria e la fine del dittatore, cosa faranno quando dovranno decidere le sorti del Paese?&lt;br /&gt;Il risultato immediato è che il cadavere di Gheddafi resta insepolto, sporco di sangue, impolverato, adagiato su di un materasso da quattro soldi in una cella frigorifera del «Mercato africano», un complesso di palazzine e baracche dove prima si vendeva la carne alla periferia di Misurata. Lo abbiamo visto senza difficoltà ieri nel primo pomeriggio. «Giornalisti? Benvenuti! Venite a vedere i resti del criminale. Dite al mondo che abbiamo vinto», esclamano felici i guerriglieri di guardia ai cancelli. Per una volta, anche i più religiosi dalla barba folta arrivati direttamente dalle brigate della Cirenaica legate al fronte del fondamentalismo non si scompongono se si ricorda loro che per la legge coranica un morto va seppellito entro le prime 24 ore dal decesso.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;span style="border-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="left" class="foto-h-left" style="background-color: #ededed; border-collapse: separate; border: 1px solid rgb(145, 146, 146); clear: left; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 1em 0px 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 1px;"&gt;&lt;tbody style="border-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;tr style="border-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;td style="border-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.8em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0.5em; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;img align="left" alt="In coda per vedere il cadaver del Raìs (Reuters)" border="0" height="140" src="http://www.corriere.it/Hermes%20Foto/2011/10/22/0LTFF8ZR--180x140.jpg?v=20111022085945" style="border-width: 0px; display: block; font-family: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="In coda per vedere il cadaver del Raìs (Reuters)" width="180" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr style="border-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;td style="border-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.8em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0.5em; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;In coda per vedere il cadaver del Raìs (Reuters)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;«Per Gheddafi e i suoi figli siamo pronti a fare un'eccezione. Meglio che attendano. Occorre che prima la gente li veda morti. Ci hanno fatto troppo male per decenni. E' giusto che la Libia si goda questa vittoria», spiegano. Salvo poi aggiungere che loro non sono «come gli americani». «Gheddafi non sarà però trattato come Osama Bin Laden. E' un musulmano e come tale verrà rispettato. Non lo faremo sparire anonimo in mare. Alla fine sarà sepolto come vuole il Corano, magari in una località segreta vicino alla sua città natale a Sirte», dice tra i tanti Ramadan Zarmoha, 63 anni, uno dei notabili più in vista di Misurata.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;span style="border-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Davanti ai cancelli stanno in coda centinaia di persone&lt;/span&gt;. Per lo più ragazzi giovani e giovanissimi. «Vengo a vedere Muammar», dice un bambino di 8 anni arrivato con i fratelli più grandi. Ci sono numerosi guerriglieri appena arrivati dagli scacchieri di battaglia a Bani Walid e Sirte. Tanti hanno perso amici e parenti negli scontri degli ultimi mesi. I più rabbiosi sono i feriti. Abbiamo visto alcuni con le stampelle, senza gambe, farsi accompagnare a pochi centimetri dal volto di Gheddafi. E restare a rimirarlo a lungo, silenziosi, quasi increduli che l'uomo alla guida della Libia per 42 anni (molti non hanno conosciuto altro che la dittatura di Gheddafi) sia davvero quel fagotto insanguinato. «Sembra improvvisamente rimpicciolito. Quasi un piccolo pupazzo. Mi sembrava molto più alto da vivo», dice un giovane in carrozzella. E' un commento molto diffuso. Il corpo del dittatore ucciso appare ridotto, rinsecchito. A guardalo nei dettagli ha le unghie curate, la barba rasata attorno al pizzo sul mento. Sino alle ultime ore prima della fine Gheddafi ha cercato di tenersi in ordine. Ce lo mostrano a torso nudo: coperto di tagli e ferite, sembra avere un paio di colpi d'arma da fuoco in entrata all'addome. Soprattutto ha diversi segni di tumefazione e gonfiori. Un paio di laceri pantaloni militari pendono dalla vita e si fermano alle caviglie.&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;span style="border-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Tutto diverso dal cadavere del figlio Mutassim&lt;/span&gt;. Lo abbiamo visto in mattinata nel container frigorifero di «campo Abad», una zona industriale posta circa a 5 chilometri di distanza dal «Mercato Africano». Nei due container vicini stanno accatastate carcasse di pecore e montoni. «Abbiamo separato Mutassim dal padre per evitare che ci fosse troppa confusione tra i visitatori», spiega il proprietario del complesso, Najmi Omar. Il corpo di Mutassim sembra comunque meno danneggiato. Alla gola mostra il foro di entrata di un proiettile sparato a bruciapelo. Un'esecuzione vera e propria. E il lobo destro del cervello è stato chiaramente sfondato, la mandibola dislocata, diversi denti rotti. Almeno altri due proiettili lo hanno colpito nella zona dello stomaco. Ma per entrambi, padre e figlio, non ci sono referti medici. «Probabilmente effettueremo le autopsie nelle prossime ore», ha detto ai giornalisti Othman al-Zintani, medico all'obitorio dell'ospedale locale.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1em; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;span style="border-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Ma che fare di loro? Da Tripoli il premier ad interim Mahmoud Jibril&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;va ripetendo che la «questione non era mai stata affrontata prima» e troveranno «una risposta nelle prossime ore». Il ministro del petrolio, il laicissimo ex docente di economia negli Stati Uniti Ali Tarhouni, dichiara invece alla stampa che «importa poco se Gheddafi se ne resterà ancora in frigorifero per qualche giorno, l'importante è che tutti lo possano vedere». A Misurata i responsabili militari spiegano invece che stanno trattando con alcuni influenti capi della tribù Qadafi a Sirte per consegnare i cadaveri. «La nostra paura è che troppa pubblicità al luogo di sepoltura possa spingere qualche vittima del regime a fare scempio dei corpi per vendetta», dicono. Non manca ovviamente il timore opposto, e cioè che qualche fedelissimo del Colonnello cerchi di trasformare la tomba in mausoleo della contro-rivoluzione. Oggi i massimi dirigenti del nuovo corso si riuniranno a Bengasi per annunciare ufficialmente la «liberazione nazionale» e l'avvio del processo democratico. Non è detto che in questa sede non vengano anche definite le modalità delle sepolture.&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="footnotes" style="border-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; margin: 20px 0px 1em; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;Lorenzo Cremonesi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong style="border-width: 0px; color: #cc2026; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;22 ottobre 2011 08:59&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class="copy" style="border-width: 0px; color: #999999; display: block; font-family: 'trebuchet MS'; font-size: 9px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; outline-width: 0px; padding: 3px 0px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;© RIPRODUZIONE RISERVATA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5096042226542429471-1938902688852138889?l=africansindiaspora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/feeds/1938902688852138889/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5096042226542429471&amp;postID=1938902688852138889&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/1938902688852138889'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/1938902688852138889'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/2011/10/che-cosa-ha-detto-il-corano-sulla-morte.html' title='Che cosa  ha detto il Corano  sulla  morte  e   sepoltura ?'/><author><name>Okey.Chukbyke C.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01707879076116787313</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3Tng5Dz4Azw/SPJNComHKzI/AAAAAAAABmI/vVTON3NKyrU/S220/DSCF2455(1).JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096042226542429471.post-6328623124625238031</id><published>2011-10-04T06:46:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-04T06:50:04.707+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ITALY'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DIASPORA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DISCRIMINATION'/><title type='text'>LA GIUSTIZIA ITALIANA  !!!!  ??</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fFNSFkeMr7o/ToqQGA_DUYI/AAAAAAAAGTw/BkGROp-jhto/s1600/302207_2113654037868_1141193644_31998788_1588626354_n%2B%25281%2529.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 259px; height: 194px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fFNSFkeMr7o/ToqQGA_DUYI/AAAAAAAAGTw/BkGROp-jhto/s400/302207_2113654037868_1141193644_31998788_1588626354_n%2B%25281%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659494314762523010" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 14px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px;"  &gt;&lt;div class="actorDescription actorName" ft="{&amp;quot;type&amp;quot;:2}" style="padding-bottom: 3px; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1141193644" hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=1141193644" style="cursor: pointer; color: rgb(59, 89, 152); text-decoration: none;"&gt;Reine Ake&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span class="messageBody translationEligibleUserMessage" ft="{&amp;quot;type&amp;quot;:3}"&gt;&lt;div id="id_4e8a8f6a902e85c36900568" class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" style="display: inline;"&gt;Dai su andiamo. Su quale base i periti della scientifica sono chiari e senza dubbi nei confronti di Guede, e nei confronti della Knox e Sollecito risultano incongruenze? Non mi risultano due scene del crimine a quanto pare. Se le prove, la scena del crimine risultano inquinitate, allora è tutta l'accusa che non vale un c**** Si dava per certo addirittura le dichiarazioni dell'omicida di un bambin&lt;span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"&gt;o. Uno schiffo!!! Non voglio fare l'innocenteismo mediatico, di cui siamo stati bombardati durante tutto il processo d'appello, ma dico una cosa: ma vogliamo prendere la gente per i fessi? Questo è un articolo pubblicato online&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vanityfair.it/news/italia/2011/09/27/amanda-knox-jet-privato" target="_blank" rel="nofollow nofollow" style="cursor: pointer; color: rgb(59, 89, 152); text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;http://www.vanityfair.it/news/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;italia/2011/09/27/amanda-knox-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;jet-privato&lt;/a&gt;, riproposta da tanti media, tra cui le grandi testate. E' un processo di cui si sapeva già dall'inizio la sentenza, un processo che è stato tutta una scenata per occultare patti, compromossi, pressione diplomatica, accordi, con un Sollecito, mica fesso lui, che ha beneficiato di ciò che gli Americani, e i parenti della Knox hanno ottenuto dopo una battaglia mediatica estrenua. Ora si punta il ditto contro Guede, perché di lui chi se ne importa, tanto ha patteggiato. Pagherà il suo crimine dinanzi alla lege, ma per carità, abbiate la descenza di non accollare la vostra misera coscienza di esperti paracullisti a chi di mezzi d'influenza ne ha usufruitto poco e per niente. Questo è il mondo in cui viviamo, un schiffo di mondo, vuoto di un senso di responsabillità, che non fa pagare a nessuno gli sbagli, i torti fatti, dove togliere la vita a terzi, vale quanto fare compere al supermercato, questo è il mondo della miseria dello spirito, un mondo che subiremo prima o poi tutti. Non mi parlare dell'uomo superiore per la ragione, io dico l'UOMO é COGLIONE PER ECCELLENZA. D'ora in poi, la giustizia si fa con i media. Messaggio recepito, spero anche dai parenti e dai sostenitori di Guede. Tanto della Meredith chi se ne frega? è morta!!!!!!!!!Pffffffff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5096042226542429471-6328623124625238031?l=africansindiaspora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/feeds/6328623124625238031/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5096042226542429471&amp;postID=6328623124625238031&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/6328623124625238031'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/6328623124625238031'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/2011/10/la-giustizia-italiana.html' title='LA GIUSTIZIA ITALIANA  !!!!  ??'/><author><name>OKEY.CHUKWUBIKE C</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09603191057317791590</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fFNSFkeMr7o/ToqQGA_DUYI/AAAAAAAAGTw/BkGROp-jhto/s72-c/302207_2113654037868_1141193644_31998788_1588626354_n%2B%25281%2529.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096042226542429471.post-8570149019917083059</id><published>2011-09-28T19:40:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-28T19:49:12.153+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='LIBYA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='USA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PEACEKEEPING'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AFRICA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='VIOLENCE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='EUROPE'/><title type='text'>THE  DESTRUCTION OF  SIRTE.......</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Oka_dwI43Co/ToNdki6LwSI/AAAAAAAACH8/5KVsvKXsFQo/s1600/libia-ribelli-continuano-ad-arretrare-sirte-ormai-miraggio-1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

Ora  stiamo organizzando il viaggio in Italia di quattro o cinque fratelli germani  (&lt;i&gt;même père, même mère&lt;/i&gt;, come dicono loro) di Justin: Julienne, Gilbert,  Hélène, Jeannette, Jean (1). Non è un viaggio di piacere. La speranza è che il  midollo osseo di uno di loro sia compatibile con quello di Justin.&lt;br /&gt;Un giorno della scorsa primavera, Justin è tornato a casa dicendomi che, da  un controllo di routine prima di un banale intervento di vene varicose, i medici  hanno visto "un'ombra ai polmoni". Si trattava di linfonodi del mediastino  ingrossati. La diagnosi, avuta dopo qualche settimana, è stata di linfoma  non-Hodgkin a cellule T periferiche NOS. Una brutta bestia. Al centro  ematologico di Tor Vergata (Roma) ci hanno subito detto che sarebbe stato  necessario un trapianto di midollo osseo da donatore per avere una speranza di  guarigione. E i primi candidati donatori sono i fratelli germani di Justin,  tutti residenti in Camerun. Nel frattempo si sarebbe fatta della chemioterapia  allo scopo di ridurre il tumore e aumentare le possibilità di successo del  trapianto.&lt;br /&gt;Justin ha appena completato il settimo ciclo di chemioterapia, che speriamo  riesca infine a portare a una remissione completa o quasi. Intanto i fratelli di  Justin stanno facendo i loro passaporti e le pratiche per ottenere il visto di  ingresso. A Roma verranno sottoposti a tipizzazione HLA e, se si troverà un  donatore compatibile (vi è una probabilità del 25% per ogni fratello), si  procederà al trapianto. Questi interventi ospedalieri sono gratuiti, ma sono a  nostro carico tutte le spese burocratiche, di viaggio e soggiorno dei cinque  fratelli. Abbiamo ricevuto molta solidarietà concreta da familiari e amici, ma  occorrono altri fondi per far fronte a tutte le necessità.&lt;br /&gt;Per questo ho deciso di scrivere questo articolo chiedendo un contributo, in  cambio di una copia di una raccolta di poesie scritte da Justin e pubblicate nel  2004, in occasione della morte per AIDS di una nostra cognata. All'epoca la  pubblicazione ha sostenuto una raccolta fondi in favore di un'associazione del  Camerun attiva nella lotta contro l'epidemia di AIDS. Oggi abbiamo ancora  diverse copie del libro, intitolato "Bisogno di vivere". Questa è la  retrocopertina:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ktwPDHKhmzg/Tme0oqoeEWI/AAAAAAAAPyo/bQgj3i12G6c/s1600/bdv_cov.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ktwPDHKhmzg/Tme0oqoeEWI/AAAAAAAAPyo/bQgj3i12G6c/s320/bdv_cov.png" width="229" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Se desideri contribuire, versa un importo sul conto corrente intestato a  Justin Wandja, IBAN IT67V0316501600000110293163, SWIFT IWBKITMM, con causale  "Contributo viaggio donatori". Spedirò una copia del volumetto per ogni  contributo di almeno 12 euro (15 per spedizioni fuori dall'Italia).

Muammar el-Qaddafi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;But Libya has a black population of its own, and many black migrant workers were trapped in the country when the conflict began. And it seems that plenty of the black Africans captured as mercenaries were never actually involved in the fight.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;On Monday, the chairman of the African Union, Jean Ping, said that Libya’s Transitional National Council “seems to confuse black people with mercenaries,” as my colleagues Kareem Fahim and Neil MacFarquhar reported.

Those men, he said, appeared to be in serious danger — and they also appeared to be telling the truth.&lt;/div&gt;“Please,” they begged us, “please don’t go. Don’t leave us. They will kill us.”&lt;br /&gt;Another just asked me: “Will they shoot us? Please tell me Sir. Will they shoot us?”&lt;br /&gt;Herded into a corner, a gunman started slapping them. We asked him to stop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“They are with Gaddafi. We know this. They had guns.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Show me the guns,” I said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No guns arrived. Some of the men crossed themselves, sweating, praying. One began weeping softly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Thomson said the men eventually led the rebels to “their women” who were hiding in the bush nearby. Satisfied that they would not have brought their wives to fight in the war, the rebels let them go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“To be a black African in the wrong part of town at the wrong time,” Mr. Thomson concluded, “is to be in a very frightening place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/01/blacks-in-libya-face-danger-from-rebels/"&gt;http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/01/blacks-in-libya-face-danger-from-rebels/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- &lt;br /&gt;Season: &lt;span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"&gt;Hunting Black People in Libya&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Black Star News, Letter To The Editor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;August 30, 2011&lt;br /&gt;A writer says rebels commit Ku Klux Klan type atrocities against Black people in Libya&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Media habitually tells us that Libyan rebels are noble freedom fighters, struggling aganist a bloodthirsty tyrant. But after all the buckets of half-truths and blatant lies, that news poured on our heads, treating us&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;viewers like brainless sheep and feeding us half-baked reports that often got disproved the next day, some of us started to look further and investigate. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What they found out, is extremely disturbing. Say, from the very beginning of war we've been hearing reports about "Gaddafi's black mercenaries". We even saw photos and videos of several people that,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;supposedly, were these mercenaries. But the whole truth is much more complicated - and scary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, there indeed are several divisions of black Africans and citizens of Chad in the army of Libya, that is formed on the principle of territorial militia. But they can hardly be considered mercenaries - not&lt;br /&gt;more than French Foreign Legion or non-American citizens in US Army. In general, the status of black men of Libyan army's various units is civil servants. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a country with 6 million inhabitants, one third are black (the most oppressed group in the country). Would not it be easier for the rebels to call for their solidarity and ask them join the rebel ranks? But not&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;only black Libyans do not join the rebellion - they flee in terror. &lt;br /&gt;The first wave of reports and evidence of beatings of black Africans began in February and March. The rebels, under the trademark of fighting with the mercenaries from Chad, were slaughtering all black people with no mercy. They even started to post various Youtube videos with their actions filmed&lt;br /&gt;The victim was the Libyan citizen Hisham Mansour, born 22-02-1983. Back in early March, the Human Rights Watch even warned black migrant workers on the need to flee the revolutionary terrain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We left behind our friends from Chad. We left behind their bodies. We had 70 or 80 people from Chad working for our company. They cut them dead with pruning shears and axes, attacking them, saying you're providing troops for Gaddafi. The Sudanese, the Chadians were massacred. We saw it ourselves. I am a worker, not a fighter. They took me from my house and [raped] my wife", - a Turkish oilfield worker, who fled Libya, told BBC in February 25.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the editors of the Monthly Review, Yoshie Furuhashi, writes:&lt;br /&gt;"The black African workers now live in fear in the territories held by the rebels in Libya. Some have been attacked by mobs, some have been imprisoned and some of their houses and shops have been torched. Many African workers say they felt safer under the regime of Gaddafi".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In March, a reporter from the Daily Mail was in Benghazi and reported:&lt;br /&gt;"Africans I saw ranged from a 20 year old and a late forties, with a grizzled beard. Most wore casual clothes. When they realized that I spoke English erupted in protests. "We did nothing," one told me, before he was silenced. "We are all construction workers in Ghana. Do not harm anyone. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another accused, a man in green overalls, showed the paint on their sleeves and said: "This is my job. I do not know how to shoot a gun "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abdul Nasser, 47, protested: "They lie about us. They took us out of our house at night when we were asleep. " While still complaining, they were taken. &lt;br /&gt;International Business Times published an article on March 2 that says:&lt;br /&gt;"According to reports, over 150 black Africans at least a dozen different countries escaped from Libya by plane and landed at the airport in Nairobi, Kenya, with horrific stories of violence."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We were attacked by locals who said they were mercenaries who killed people. I mean blacks who refused to see "Julius told Reuters Kiluu, a construction supervisor for 60 years. &lt;br /&gt;Michel Collon with a fact-finding delegation were in Libya in July and when he learned what had happened, he said:&lt;br /&gt;"I met these people during my research in Tripoli. I could talk to some people. They were not "mercenaries," as the rebels and the media tell. Some were dark-skinned Libyans (much of the population is of African type, in fact), others were black civilians from African countries whostayed in Libya for a long time. All support Gaddafi precisely because he opposes to racism and treats them as Arabs and Africans on an equal footing. On the contrary, the rebels in Benghazi are known for their racism, and blacks were victims of terrible systematic atrocities. The paradox is that NATO wants to bring democracy to a section of Al Qaeda and Libyan Ku Klux Klan-type racists". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's another footage, with English explanations given.&lt;br /&gt;After the rebels entered Tripoli, numerous reports of black men being killed appeared again. Twitter explodes with rebels' messages about killing "African mercenaries". In the chaos of embattled Tripoli, black people are being simply seized from the streets and taken somewhere openly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the photo above we can see that the lying people's hands are tied with plastic handcuffs and their clothes are relatively clean. This means these people were captured not after a fight, but deliberately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Colonel was being building good relations with the south of Africa. NATO plan of destabilizing Libya might as well include having the black Africans turning away from this country forever, using contempt and xenophobia of the rebels as a driving force of the persecution. After all, lynching black people simply for being in Africa sounds ridiculous. &lt;br /&gt;But results are pretty much of the same racist kind, and they are not funny at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dtVocp0aFUA/TmJyLxsXtBI/AAAAAAAAF0s/b8eWkaR-vV4/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dtVocp0aFUA/TmJyLxsXtBI/AAAAAAAAF0s/b8eWkaR-vV4/s1600/images.jpg" xaa="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Editor's Note: When the atrocities are finally documented, the corporate media that ignored ethnic cleansing of Black people will bear the stain of culpability. The Wall Street Journal reported on what amounts to ethnic cleansing of Black Libyans by the "Brigade for Purging Slaves, black skin," on June 21, 2011. The newspaper has not revisited that story, which was ignored by major media such as CNN and The New York Times at the time the Journal reported it, probably because they believed it would "tarnish" the NATO-rebels' reputation --small "sacrifice" to protect the corporate-media-favored side in the conflict. So what if the "liberators" had a little bit of KKK in them? The White House and State Department have yet to comment on the reported ethnic cleansing. The International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor and publicity hound, Luis Moreno Ocampo, has yet to say a word; such is the devaluation of the lives of Black people globally.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none;

A warship failed to rescue a boat in trouble – leaving 61 people on board to die. Photograph: Francesco Malavolta/EPA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dozens of African migrants were left to die in the Mediterranean after a number of European military units apparently ignored their cries for help, the Guardian has learned. Two of the nine survivors claim this included a Nato ship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A boat carrying 72 passengers, including several women, young children and political refugees, ran into trouble in late March after leaving Tripoli for the Italian island of Lampedusa. Despite alarms being raised with the Italian coastguard and the boat making contact with a military helicopter and a warship, no rescue effort was attempted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All but 11 of those on board died from thirst and hunger after their vessel was left to drift in open waters for 16 days. "Every morning we would wake up and find more bodies, which we would leave for 24 hours and then throw overboard," said Abu Kurke, one of only nine survivors. "By the final days, we didn't know ourselves … everyone was either praying, or dying."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;International maritime law compels all vessels, including military units, to answer distress calls from nearby boats and to offer help where possible. Refugee rights campaigners have demanded an investigation into the deaths, while the UNHCR, the UN's refugee agency, has called for stricter co-operation among commercial and military vessels in the Mediterranean in an effort to save human lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Mediterranean cannot become the wild west," said spokeswoman Laura Boldrini. "Those who do not rescue people at sea cannot remain unpunished."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her words were echoed by Father Moses Zerai, an Eritrean priest in Rome who runs the refugee rights organisation Habeshia, and who was one of the last people to be in communication with the migrant boat before the battery in its satellite phone ran out.&lt;br /&gt;"There was an abdication of responsibility which led to the deaths of over 60 people, including children," he claimed. "That constitutes a crime, and that crime cannot go unpunished just because the victims were African migrants and not tourists on a cruise liner."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This year's political turmoil and military conflict in north Africa have fuelled a sharp rise in the number of people attempting to reach Europe by sea, with up to 30,000 migrants believed to have made the journey across the Mediterranean over the past four months. Large numbers have died en route; last month more than 800 migrants of different nationalities who left on boats from Libya never made it to European shores and are presumed dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Underlining the dangers, on Sunday more than 400 migrants were involved in a dramatic rescue when their boat hit rocks on Lampedusa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pope, meanwhile, in an address to more than 300,000 worshippers, called on Italians to welcome immigrants fleeing to their shores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Guardian's investigation into the case of the boat of 72 migrants which set sail from Tripoli on 25 March established that it carried 47 Ethiopians, seven Nigerians, seven Eritreans, six Ghanaians and five Sudanese migrants. Twenty were women and two were small children, one of whom was just one year old. The boat's Ghanaian captain was aiming for the Italian island of Lampedusa, 180 miles north-west of the Libyan capital, but after 18 hours at sea the small vessel began running into trouble and losing fuel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using witness testimony from survivors and other individuals who were in contact with the passengers during its doomed voyage, the Guardian has pieced together what happened next. The account paints a harrowing picture of a group of desperate migrants condemned to death by a combination of bad luck, bureaucracy and the apparent indifference of European military forces who had the opportunity to attempt a rescue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The migrants used the boat's satellite phone to call Zerai in Rome, who in turn contacted the Italian coastguard. The boat's location was narrowed down to about 60 miles off Tripoli, and coastguard officials assured Zerai that the alarm had been raised and all relevant authorities had been alerted to the situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soon a military helicopter marked with the word "army" appeared above the boat. The pilots, who were wearing military uniforms, lowered bottles of water and packets of biscuits and gestured to passengers that they should hold their position until a rescue boat came to help. The helicopter flew off, but no rescue boat arrived.&lt;br /&gt;No country has yet admitted sending the helicopter that made contact with the migrants. A spokesman for the Italian coastguard said: "We advised Malta that the vessel was heading towards their search and rescue zone, and we issued an alert telling vessels to look out for the boat, obliging them to attempt a rescue." The Maltese authorities denied they had had any involvement with the boat.&lt;br /&gt;After several hours of waiting, it became apparent to those on board that help was not on the way. The vessel had only 20 litres of fuel left, but the captain told passengers that Lampedusa was close enough for him to make it there unaided. It was a fatal mistake. By 27 March, the boat had lost its way, run out of fuel and was drifting with the currents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We'd finished the oil, we'd finished the food and water, we'd finished everything," said Kurke, a 24-year-old migrant who was fleeing ethnic conflict in his homeland, the Oromia region of Ethiopia. "We were drifting in the sea, and the weather was very dangerous." At some point on 29 or 30 March the boat was carried near to an aircraft carrier – so close that it would have been impossible to be missed. According to survivors, two jets took off from the ship and flew low over the boat while the migrants stood on deck holding the two starving babies aloft. But from that point on, no help was forthcoming. Unable to manoeuvre any closer to the aircraft carrier, the migrants' boat drifted away. Shorn of supplies, fuel or means of contacting the outside world, they began succumbing one by one to thirst and starvation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Guardian has made extensive inquiries to ascertain the identity of the aircraft carrier, and has concluded that it is likely to have been the French ship Charles de Gaulle, which was operating in the Mediterranean on those dates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;French naval authorities initially denied the carrier was in the region at that time. After being shown news reports which indicated this was untrue, a spokesperson declined to comment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A spokesman for Nato, which is co-ordinating military action in Libya, said it had not logged any distress signals from the boat and had no records of the incident. "Nato units are fully aware of their responsibilities with regard to the international maritime law regarding safety of life at sea," said an official. "Nato ships will answer all distress calls at sea and always provide help when necessary. Saving lives is a priority for any Nato ships."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For most of the migrants, the failure of the ship to mount any rescue attempt proved fatal. Over the next 10 days, almost everyone on board died. "We saved one bottle of water from the helicopter for the two babies, and kept feeding them even after their parents had passed," said Kurke, who survived by drinking his own urine and eating two tubes of toothpaste. "But after two days, the babies passed too, because they were so small."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On 10 April, the boat washed up on a beach near the Libyan town of Zlitan near Misrata. Of the 72 migrants who had embarked at Tripoli, only 11 were still alive, and one of those died almost immediately on reaching land. Another survivor died shortly afterwards in prison, after Gaddafi's forces arrested the migrants and detained them for four days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lampedusa The route of the boat&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the trauma of their last attempt, the migrants – who are hiding out in the house of an Ethiopian in the Libyan capital – are willing to tackle the Mediterranean again if it means reaching Europe and gaining asylum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"These are people living an unimaginable existence, fleeing political, religious and ethnic persecution," said Zerai. "We must have justice for them, for those that died alongside them, and for the families who have lost their loved ones."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additional reporting by John Hooper and Tom Kington in Rome, and Kim Willsher in Paris&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• This article was amended on 9 May 2011.

La giornata si è conclusa con una festa alla mensa universitaria e una cena a base di piatti tipici della gastronomia africana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ragazzi dell’Asav hanno consegnato ai rappresentanti del Consiglio comunale un premio speciale come ringraziamento per la collaborazione prestata. “E’ motivo di orgoglio, per noi, essere qui stasera - ha detto il presidente Fratta Pasini - ed è anche l’occasione per consolidare un’importante amicizia, nata durante l’incontro sull’integrazione che si è svolto lo scorso dicembre in sala Gozzi. Sono onorato di aver partecipato al dibattito con un relatore prestigioso come il prof. Mukuna Samulomba, membro del Comitato mondiale del Panafricanismo, in cui si è parlato in modo concreto del futuro dell’Africa e delle aspettative dei suoi giovani cittadini, potendo confrontare le nostre opinioni. Questa collaborazione rafforza il legame tra la città di Verona e gli studenti africani, così ben integrati nella nostra comunità”.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.veronasera.it/News/CRONACA/07-05-2010_11.13/Giornata_culturale_africana_il_Comune_c%C3%A8_02676.htm"&gt;http://www.veronasera.it/News/CRONACA/07-05-2010_11.13/Giornata_culturale_africana_il_Comune_c%C3%A8_02676.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5096042226542429471-9102427244449542039?l=africansindiaspora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/feeds/9102427244449542039/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5096042226542429471&amp;postID=9102427244449542039&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/9102427244449542039'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/9102427244449542039'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/2011/05/giornata-culturale-africana.html' title='GIORNATA  CULTURALE  AFRICANA'/><author><name>Chukbyke.Okey,C.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16962984058168305029</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_WpBVPss51wg/SCMrvlrAuyI/AAAAAAAAH7Y/bRsOOrUonx8/S220/Copy-of-Copy-of-IM000524.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ifzj-7R5nSc/Tb8vpkTp7dI/AAAAAAAAPsM/QODLnumvWbI/s72-c/Locandina%252B2011.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096042226542429471.post-1796199562713068562</id><published>2011-05-03T00:12:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-05-03T00:14:18.831+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='WOMEN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CHUKBYKE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AFRICA'/><title type='text'>AFRICAN WOMEN</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;div class="divTitreArticle" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; line-height: 30px;"&gt;&lt;h2 style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 150px 0px 0px; font-weight: normal; font-size: 20px ! important; font-style: italic; color: rgb(32, 73, 117) ! important; font-family: Georgia ! important;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.achab50.it/article-africa-il-primo-ministro-del-mali-e-donna-71654714.html" class="titreArticle" title="AFRICA - IL PRIMO MINISTRO DEL MALI E' DONNA" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(32, 73, 117) ! important; font-family: Georgia ! important; font-size: 20px ! important;"&gt;AFRICA - IL PRIMO MINISTRO DEL MALI E' DONNA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="contenuArticle" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0) ! important; font-size: 12px; background-color: transparent ! important; font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;"&gt;                                                                                          &lt;img src="http://img.over-blog.com/360x401/4/23/56/00/09-Aprile-2011/CISSE--MARIAM-KAIDAMA-SIDIBE--1--Ministro-del-Mali.jpg" class="CtreTexte" alt="CISSE--MARIAM-KAIDAMA-SIDIBE--1--Ministro-del-Mali.jpg" style="border-style: none; margin: 3px auto; padding: 0px; display: block; clear: both;" width="332" height="370" /&gt;&lt;span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Da poche settimane un'altra donna guida un paese o un governo in Africa.

Suo padre, Earl Little, era un pastore battista mentre la  madre, Louise Norton, era un'immigrata di Grenada, a quel tempo isola antillana  che apparteneva all'impero britannico. Entrambi avevano aderito alla Universal  Negro Improvement Association, il movimento pan-africanista di liberazione dei  neri, fondato nel 1914 dal politico giamaicano Marcus Garvey. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A quel  tempo tra i gruppi razzistici più attivi vi era il Ku Klux Klan, fondato nel  1867 nel Tennessee da ex-appartenenti all'esercito sudista, messo fuorilegge nel  1869 e rinato in Georgia nel 1915. Proprio a questa organizzazione si attribuì,  nel 1931, la morte del padre di Malcolm, colpevole di aver predicato in  quartieri segregati dei neri. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;Nel 1937 la cronica mancanza di reddito e  la grave malattia che aveva colpito la madre cominciarono a disgregare la  famiglia di Malcolm, che venne affidato ad alcuni amici. L'anno seguente fu  espulso dalla scuola per "cattiva condotta e comportamento anti-sociale" e venne  spedito nella casa di correzione di Lansing. Nel gennaio 1939 gli assistenti  sociali e il giudice decisero, dopo l'aggravamento della malattia, di  rinchiudere la madre Louise in manicomio. Intanto Malcolm, nel correzionale  dello Stato del Michigan, si segnalava come brillante studente, anche se sente  molto forte la discriminazione che pesa sulla sua carriera dell'avvocato.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poco dopo, insieme alla famiglia, si stabilisce nel ghetto nero di  Boston dove lavora come lustrascarpe e come inserviente in ristoranti e treni.  Entrato a far parte di alcuni gruppi anarchici, lascia il lavoro per  trasformarsi in un organizzatore di scommesse clandestine. Arriva anche a  spacciare droga. Ricercato dalla polizia, nel 1945, ritorna a Boston e si mette  a capo di una banda di rapinatori, ma l'esperienza ha vita breve. &lt;br /&gt;Nel  febbraio 1946, viene arrestato per una banale rapina e condannato a dieci anni  di carcere. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dal febbraio 1946 al luglio 1952 Malcolm soggiornò in tre  carceri del Massachussetts. Nella colonia penale di Norfolk, in cui trascorse il  periodo 1948-1951, avviene la sua trasformazione. Attraverso il fratello  Reginald, Malcolm entra in contatto con la Nazione dell'Islam e col suo capo  Elijah Poole, che intanto aveva assunto il nome di Elijah Muhammad. La Nazione  dell'Islam predicava il separatismo autosufficiente dei neri dai bianchi  (necessario prima del ritorno in Africa), denunciava il razzismo della religione  cristiana e lottava contro la droga, il tabacco, l'alcol, i cibi impuri e ogni  forma di vizio. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malcolm inizia a studiare e a leggere facendo nello  stesso tempo proselitismo tra le mura del carcere. Diventa pericoloso al punto  che per evitare problemi le autorità carcerarie decidono di liberarlo.  &lt;br /&gt;Trovato lavoro come commesso, si stabilisce a Inkster, ghetto nero di  Detroit, e prende la decisione di cambiare il cognome in "X", a perenne ricordo  della privazione del suo vero nome africano a cui i bianchi avevano assoggettato  i suoi antenati in schiavitù nel Nuovo Mondo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Decide di lavorare anche  alla catena di montaggio di un'industria automobilistica per poi passare ad  essere "rettificatore" alla Gar Wood, una fabbrica di camion, e fare ritorno, in  seguito, sulla costa orientale, diventando il più infaticabile predicatore della  Nazione dell'Islam. Apre e organizza nuove moschee e trasforma la Nazione  dell'Islam in un dinamico gruppo politico-religioso di "musulmani di colore,  separatisti e rigidamente organizzati". Nel 1958 si sposa con una compagna del  suo movimento, Betty Shabazz e si stabilisce a New York &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Negli anni  1963-64 egli matura la decisione di fondare con un gruppo di seguaci,  "l'Organizzazione dell'Unità Afroamericana". I viaggi in Europa, Medio Oriente e  Africa, gli offrono il destro per diffondere le sue idee, che comprendono due  punti fondamentali: &lt;br /&gt;una più stretta intesa con gruppi antisegregazionisti  operanti nel Sud e nel resto del paese e il tentativo di internazionalizzare il  problema dei neri, cercando intese con paesi arabi, soprattutto africani, ed  ex-colonie, per creare un fronte e un'azione comuni. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Intanto Malcolm  continua a prendere posizioni forti contro il governo degli Stati Uniti, in  politica interna ed estera, trovando il tempo per finire di scrivere, con  l'aiuto del giornalista Alex Haley, la sua "Autobiografia". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Non  condividendo il pacifismo di &lt;a class="linkedbio preview" href="http://biografieonline.it/biografia.htm?BioID=398&amp;amp;biografia=Martin%20Luther%20King" rel="http://biografieonline.it/img/thumb/m/Martin_Luther_King.jpg" title="Biografia di Martin Luther King"&gt;Martin Luther King&lt;/a&gt;, rompe con lui dopo la  marcia su Washington, consentita dal potere centrale. La tempesta però si  avvicina. Durante la visita al Cairo è vittima di un tentativo di avvelenamento.  Al suo rientro, a New York, il 14 febbraio 1965, un attentato dinamitardo gli  incendia la casa da cui a stento si salva con moglie e figlie. Il 21 febbraio  doveva tenere una conferenza a New York. Aveva chiesto di tener lontani tutti i  &lt;a class="linkedbio" href="http://biografieonline.it/tema.htm?n=Giornalisti" title="Biografie di Giornalisti"&gt;giornalisti&lt;/a&gt; e di non  perquisire nessuno. Non fece neppure in tempo a iniziare il discorso che tre  uomini seduti in prima fila iniziarono a sparargli contro con fucili e pistole.  Fu colpito da 16 proiettili di cui tre mortali. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chi è stato ad uccidere  Malcom X? A tutt'oggi sono al vaglio diverse ipotesi. C'è chi sospetta della sua  cerchia di collaboratori, chi dell'FBI e chi ancora della malavita organizzata e  del traffico di droga che, grazie a Malcom X, avevano subito un netto calo degli  affari. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Di recente, una delle figlie di Malcolm, Qubilah Shabazz, ha  accusato l'attuale capo della Nazione dell'Islam, Louis Farrakhan, di essere  stato il mandante dell'assassinio. La vedova di Malcolm, Betty, è stata uccisa  nel 1997 da un nipote dodicenne, anche lui di nome Malcolm&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://biografieonline.it/biografia.htm?BioID=156&amp;amp;biografia=Malcolm+X&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5096042226542429471-3379726449798228075?l=africansindiaspora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/feeds/3379726449798228075/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5096042226542429471&amp;postID=3379726449798228075&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/3379726449798228075'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/3379726449798228075'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/2011/04/malcolm-x.html' title='Malcolm X'/><author><name>Chukbyke.Okey,C.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16962984058168305029</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_WpBVPss51wg/SCMrvlrAuyI/AAAAAAAAH7Y/bRsOOrUonx8/S220/Copy-of-Copy-of-IM000524.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096042226542429471.post-4527500174985604351</id><published>2011-04-23T15:36:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-04-23T15:36:23.799+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='LIBYA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='USA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PEACEKEEPING'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CHUKBYKE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AFRICA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='VIOLENCE'/><title type='text'>"...LIKE A DEATH SENTANCE ON   GHADEFFI..."</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;div id="article-header"&gt;                                                                                                                        &lt;div id="main-article-info"&gt;                   &lt;h1&gt;Drones can be used by Nato forces in Libya, says Obama&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div class="stand-first-alone" id="stand-first"&gt;Senior Nato military commanders have been pressing for the unmanned US planes to strike Gaddafi forces in besieged Misrata&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="content"&gt;                                                                                &lt;ul class="article-attributes"&gt;&lt;li class="publication"&gt;&lt;time datetime="2011-04-21T22:52BST" pubdate=""&gt;Thursday 21 April 2011 22.52 BST                           &lt;/time&gt;              &lt;/li&gt;&lt;div data-global-auto-refresh-switch="on" id="article-wrapper"&gt;                       &lt;div id="main-content-picture"&gt;        &lt;img alt="Predator drone aircraft" height="276" src="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pixies/2011/4/21/1303413107411/Predator-drone-aircraft-007.jpg" width="460" /&gt;           &lt;div class="caption"&gt;Precision targeting provided  by unmanned  drones has become a favoured strike weapon in Afghanistan, and could  help Nato pinpoint Gaddafi forces in Libya. Photograph: Sipa Press/Rex  Features&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="article-body-blocks"&gt;      The White House has approved the use of missile-armed Predator drones to help &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/nato" title="More from guardian.co.uk on Nato"&gt;Nato&lt;/a&gt; target Colonel Gaddafi's forces in &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/libya" title="More from guardian.co.uk on Libya"&gt;Libya&lt;/a&gt;.Coalition  commanders have been privately urging the Americans to provide the  specialist unmanned aircraft, which have become a favoured – if  controversial – weapon in Afghanistan and Pakistan.Their ability  to hone in on targets using powerful night-vision cameras is considered  to be one way of helping rebels in the besieged city of Misrata, where a  humanitarian crisis has unfolded in the last week.The US defence secretary, Robert Gates, said &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/barack-obama" title="More from guardian.co.uk on Barack Obama"&gt;Barack Obama&lt;/a&gt;  had approved the use of the Predators which are armed with Hellfire  missiles, signalling a marked growth in the US contribution to the Nato  effort.Gates told a Pentagon news conference that the Predator  was an example of the unique US military capabilities that the president  is willing to contribute while other countries enforce a no-fly zone.General  James Cartwright said that the first Predator mission in Libya had been  scheduled for Thursday night but was abandoned because of poor weather.  The US military plans to maintain two patrols of armed Predators above  Libya at any given time, permitting better surveillance – and targeting –  of Gaddafi's forces as they dig into positions next to civilian areas,  Cartwright told the same briefing.The drones are based in the  region but typically flown via remote control by pilots in the US. The  drones for Libya had not been withdrawn from Afghanistan, Gates and  Cartwright said.Khaled Kayim, Libya's deputy foreign minister,  said the deployment of the drones would result in the deaths of more  civilians. He described the move as "undemocratic and illegitimate and I  hope they will reverse their decision".Liam Fox, the British  defence secretary, and Sir David Richards, the chief of the defence  staff, are due in Washington next week to discuss the situation in  Libya.The use of Predators is one of the topics to be discussed  at the Pentagon talks next Tuesday, as well as other specialist  equipment that might be provided by the US.&lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/davidcameron" title="More from guardian.co.uk on David Cameron"&gt;David Cameron&lt;/a&gt;  has again insisted that Nato had no intention of deploying ground  troops, but that did not mollify Russia. It condemned the sending of  military advisers to Libya by the UK and France, saying it exceeded the  mandate of UN security council resolution 1973. "We are not happy about  the latest events in Libya, which are pulling the international  community into a conflict on the ground," said the Russian foreign  minister, Sergei Lavrov."This may have unpredictable consequences," he  added.But senior Whitehall officials believe the use of drones,  also known as UAVs, would not be beyond the remit, or the spirit, of the  UN resolution which gave the coalition a mandate to protect civilians.  "A UAV with sufficiently high-resolution sensors, were it armed, could  fire that weapon in line of sight and still meet the tight rules of  engagement," a Whitehall source said."We have been asking if we  can get the US to provide that capability for us. It exists – the  question is can we get it to be deployed? UAVs would give you speed of  response where you see the regime transgressing the UN resolution," the  source said. The US is understood to have the UAVs in the region  already.Gates said Obama continues to be opposed to sending US  ground forces into Libya and there were no plans to send US trainers to  augment Nato forces already working with rebel forces. "There's no  wiggle room in that," Gates said.The UN secretary general, Ban  Ki-Moon, urged Gaddafi to "stop killing people", and estimated that  500,000 Libyans had fled the country. The MoD also sought to counter  criticism Nato is not doing enough for Misrata, saying the RAF had hit  58 targets around the city in the past three weeks, including 37 main  battle tanks. But officials concede the difficulties of targeting within  the city are considerable.Earlier this week Nato's commander, Lt  Gen Charles Bouchard, described the situation within Misrata as being  akin to "a knife fight in a phone booth". He said Gaddafi forces were  hiding on the rooftops of mosques, hospitals and schools, and that they  were shielding themselves behind women and children.The military difficulties were underlined when further details emerged of the death of British photographer &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/tim-hetherington" title="More from guardian.co.uk on Tim Hetherington"&gt;Tim Hetherington&lt;/a&gt;,  who was killed on Wednesday in a mortar attack along with a colleague,  Chris Hondras. An Oscar-nominated filmmaker, Hetherington, 41, wrote in  his last Twitter post on Tuesday: "In besieged Libyan city of Misrata.  Indiscriminate shelling by Gaddafi forces. No sign of Nato." Vanity Fair  editor Graydon Carter said Hetherington was "about as perfect a model  of a war photographer as you're going to find these days".http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/apr/21/nato-wants-drones-target-misrata&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="article-body-blocks"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5096042226542429471-4527500174985604351?l=africansindiaspora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/feeds/4527500174985604351/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5096042226542429471&amp;postID=4527500174985604351&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/4527500174985604351'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/4527500174985604351'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/2011/04/like-death-sentance-on-ghadeffi.html' title='&quot;...LIKE A DEATH SENTANCE ON   GHADEFFI...&quot;'/><author><name>Chukbyke.Okey,C.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16962984058168305029</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_WpBVPss51wg/SCMrvlrAuyI/AAAAAAAAH7Y/bRsOOrUonx8/S220/Copy-of-Copy-of-IM000524.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096042226542429471.post-92008650942124124</id><published>2011-04-14T09:41:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-04-14T09:41:33.100+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CHUKBYKE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AFRICA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='VIOLENCE'/><title type='text'>COSTA D'AVORIO: PREMIER KENYA, AMNISTIA PER GBAGBO</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4" class="link_grey" style="width: 383px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr valign="top"&gt;&lt;td class="testo_standard" height="10" valign="bottom" width="383"&gt;&lt;b&gt;COSTA D'AVORIO: PREMIER KENYA, AMNISTIA PER GBAGBO                &lt;/b&gt; &lt;/td&gt;             &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr valign="top"&gt;               &lt;td height="1"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;             &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr valign="top"&gt;                     &lt;td class="testo_standard"&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_vnUEZ1rVLk/TaakzggK6FI/AAAAAAAAPpo/9N_cgyVHjUY/s1600/gun.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_vnUEZ1rVLk/TaakzggK6FI/AAAAAAAAPpo/9N_cgyVHjUY/s1600/gun.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;(ASCA-AFP) - &lt;a href="http://adv.edintorni.net/click/?mo=T&amp;amp;ky=washington&amp;amp;af=7565&amp;amp;ct=it&amp;amp;rf=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Easca%2Eit%2Fnews%2DCOSTA%5FD%5FAVORIO%5F%5FPREMIER%5FKENYA%5F%5FAMNISTIA%5FPER%5FGBAGBO%2D1008420%2DORA%2D%2Ehtml&amp;amp;re=&amp;amp;ts=1302766594250&amp;amp;hs=542515c3e52b317407530125df9a4b90" id="ed_Id_1" style="border-bottom: medium none; color: green; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;Washington&lt;/a&gt;, 13 apr - Il primo ministro kenyano  Raila Odinga, mediatore chiave nella crisi politica in &lt;a href="http://adv.edintorni.net/click/?mo=T&amp;amp;ky=volo+costa+d%27avorio&amp;amp;af=7565&amp;amp;ct=it&amp;amp;rf=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Easca%2Eit%2Fnews%2DCOSTA%5FD%5FAVORIO%5F%5FPREMIER%5FKENYA%5F%5FAMNISTIA%5FPER%5FGBAGBO%2D1008420%2DORA%2D%2Ehtml&amp;amp;re=&amp;amp;ts=1302766594250&amp;amp;hs=c5822abc83367ea62fbd8cfe367ba9a8" id="ed_Id_2" style="border-bottom: medium none; color: green; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;Costa&lt;/a&gt;  d'&lt;a href="http://adv.edintorni.net/click/?mo=T&amp;amp;ky=volo+costa+d%27avorio&amp;amp;af=7565&amp;amp;ct=it&amp;amp;rf=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Easca%2Eit%2Fnews%2DCOSTA%5FD%5FAVORIO%5F%5FPREMIER%5FKENYA%5F%5FAMNISTIA%5FPER%5FGBAGBO%2D1008420%2DORA%2D%2Ehtml&amp;amp;re=&amp;amp;ts=1302766594250&amp;amp;hs=c5822abc83367ea62fbd8cfe367ba9a8" id="ed_Id_3" style="border-bottom: medium none; color: green; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;Avorio&lt;/a&gt;, si e' espresso a favore di un'amnistia per l'ex  presidente Laurent Gbagbo.

Interrogandoti su dove questo governo vorrebbe  portare l'Italia, tu hai fatto con un'altra domanda se è verso l'Unione  Africana. Naturalmente dando per scontato che quello fosse il luogo della  perdizione o comunque l'orrizzonte più negativo che ci sia.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Caro Pierluigi poiché ti conosco da qualche anno e ho sempre nutrito rispetto  e stima nei tuoi confronti, questa tua uscita mi ha profondamente sorpreso. Come  recita l'adagio "un uomo che morde fa notizia mentre un cane che morde non  suscita clamore" ed proprio per questa ragione che riservo alla tua uscita una  certa attenzione, nonostante il mio livello di assuefazione rispetto ai flussi  di insulti in cui ormai da anni vengono indirizzati agli africani e à l'Africa.  Non ritengo di doverti mettere alla stessa stregua di un Borghezio qualunque i  cui insulti ormai ci siamo rassegnati. Dunque è proprio perché non ti posso  considerare alla stessa stregua di queste tipologie di persone, mi permetto di  scriverti tutto il mio disappunto pretendendo anche delle scuse da parte tua a  tutti gli africani.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ac1aZLNc2uQ/TaRI8Ts-voI/AAAAAAAACGw/x-sPkyhEif8/s1600/images%2Bbb.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 182px; height: 140px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ac1aZLNc2uQ/TaRI8Ts-voI/AAAAAAAACGw/x-sPkyhEif8/s400/images%2Bbb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594676838019284610" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Pierluigi gente come te mi hanno sempre insegnaìto che un uomo pubblico, e  per giunto un leader politico deve manneggiare con cura le parole, Insomma la  comunicazione di un dirigente politico non equivale a quella del cittadino  qualunque. E gli stereoptipi sull'Africa e sugli africani sono talmente radicati  nella coscienza di questo paese da dover richiamare l'esigenza di un'ecologia  del linguaggio che detto per inciso dovrebbe essere una colonna portante di una  politica che si configura come pedagogia sociale e culturale. Dunque "civitas" e  non solo "polis" mi portano a dirti che serve più attenzione e rispetto. Sarebbe  opportuno, a mio avviso. se tu facessi pubblico ammenda di questo  riferimento.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Con sincerità come sempre!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Aly Baba Faye&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/notes/aly-baba-faye/lettera-aperta-a-bersani/10150098796498078"&gt;ORIGINALE DA F.B&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5096042226542429471-2845715750673497713?l=africansindiaspora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/feeds/2845715750673497713/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5096042226542429471&amp;postID=2845715750673497713&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/2845715750673497713'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/2845715750673497713'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/2011/04/lettera-aperta-bersani.html' title='Lettera aperta a Bersani'/><author><name>DIASPORA AFRICANA</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='30' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1tPPOAZ1KPI/SM0NG8wR1-I/AAAAAAAABZ8/bUiBdZYLVAk/S220/images.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Bu1kQY5vqjE/TaRItxvO0HI/AAAAAAAACGo/ZwOxboGlfW8/s72-c/187125_811230569_1357820_n.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096042226542429471.post-793080231193861270</id><published>2011-04-11T22:31:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-04-11T22:31:52.837+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CHUKWUBIKE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='LIBYA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PEACEKEEPING'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AFRICA'/><title type='text'>African Union president calls for Libya cease-fire</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;div class="fullArticleCategory"&gt;                   Italian News                &lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 class="fullArticleTitle"&gt;African Union president calls for Libya cease-fire&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div class="bold" style="margin-top: 10px;"&gt;       Read also the other articles on Italian News   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Gy1OI69kxWE/TaNk81dDQzI/AAAAAAAAPpU/7A6EF6wUr3g/s1600/images+gg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Gy1OI69kxWE/TaNk81dDQzI/AAAAAAAAPpU/7A6EF6wUr3g/s1600/images+gg.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="abar"&gt;    &lt;table&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;                   &lt;td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;       &lt;td class="label" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;            &lt;td class="label" style="padding-left: 25px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;      &lt;td style="width: 100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;             &lt;td class="addTo"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;      &lt;td class="addTo"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;            &lt;td class="addTo"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;      &lt;td class="addTo" style="padding-left: 10px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                  &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 10px 29px 0pt 0pt; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nowitaly.com%2Fgiornale%2F%2F121235%2Fafrican-union-president-calls-libya-cease-fire.htm&amp;amp;t=ItalianNews%20%7C%20African%20Union%20president%20calls%20for%20Libya%20cease-fire&amp;amp;src=sp" name="fb_share" style="text-decoration: none;" type="button"&gt;&lt;span class="FBConnectButton FBConnectButton_Small" style="cursor: pointer;"&gt;&lt;span class="FBConnectButton_Text"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;T&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;he head of the African  Union has called for a cease-fire in Libya,  saying the conflict in this  North African is an internal problem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;                                        &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Teodoro Obiang Nguema says the conflict in Libya doesn't merit  foreign interference.

Unite States president Barack Obama in a Tuesday interview with the NBC television network said he would consider arming the rebels. "I'm not ruling it out, but I'm also not ruling it in," Obama said. France also did not exclude the possibility of arming rebels when it joined other Nato members states on Tuesday in London to discuss Libya. Italian foreign minister Franco Frattini on Wednesday told Italy's Sky TG24 news channel that the African Union should work with the international community to encourage Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi to resign.&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H_10qAHh3HU/TZMnURF0rlI/AAAAAAAACGI/G_hbE3T76I8/s1600/sus_history_un_logo.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589854791635611218" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 172px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H_10qAHh3HU/TZMnURF0rlI/AAAAAAAACGI/G_hbE3T76I8/s200/sus_history_un_logo.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.adnkronos.com/IGN/Aki/English/Politics/Libya-Italian-official-says-arming-rebels-could-divide-international-community_311846466759.html"&gt;http://www.adnkronos.com/IGN/Aki/English/Politics/Libya-Italian-official-says-arming-rebels-could-divide-international-community_311846466759.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5096042226542429471-5715691332155492640?l=africansindiaspora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/feeds/5715691332155492640/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5096042226542429471&amp;postID=5715691332155492640&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/5715691332155492640'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/5715691332155492640'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/2011/03/libya-italian-official-says-arming.html' title='Libya: Italian official says arming rebels could &apos;divide&apos; international community'/><author><name>DIASPORA AFRICANA</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='30' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1tPPOAZ1KPI/SM0NG8wR1-I/AAAAAAAABZ8/bUiBdZYLVAk/S220/images.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wSdrfdBIBLc/TZMmdVuMIJI/AAAAAAAACGA/uRY7oCaPk1Y/s72-c/new-york-united-nations-new-york-city-ny287.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096042226542429471.post-1921163418965263193</id><published>2011-03-29T18:06:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-03-29T18:09:07.587+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CHUKWUBIKE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='LIBYA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AFRICA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='VIOLENCE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='EUROPE'/><title type='text'>London Conference on Libya</title><content type='html'>&lt;h2 class="page_title_border"&gt;PM’s speech at London Conference on Libya&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;div class="entry"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Prime Minister David Cameron’s opening remarks at the London Conference on  Libya on Tuesday 29 March 2011. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;Read the transcript&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Let me welcome you all to London.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Foreign Ministers from more than 40 countries – from America to Asia – from  Europe to Africa – from the United Nations to the Arab world. All here to unite  with one purpose: to help the Libyan people in their hour of need. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Today is about a new beginning for Libya – a future in which the people of  Libya can determine their own destiny, free from violence and oppression. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;But the Libyan people cannot reach that future on their own. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;They require three things of us. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;First, we must reaffirm our commitment to UN Security Council Resolutions  1970 and 1973 and the broad alliance determined to implement it. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Second, we must ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid where it is needed,  including to newly liberated towns. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And third, we must help the Libyan people plan for their future after the  conflict is over. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;These are the three goals of this London Conference.Let me take each in  turn. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reaffirming our commitment to the UNSCRs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;First, UN Security Council Resolution 1973.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Just twelve days ago, following an appeal by the Arab League, the United  Nations passed an historic resolution to protect the people of Libya from the  murderous brutality of Qadhafi’s regime.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;At the meeting Nicholas Sarkozy hosted in Paris, we made the right choice: to  draw a line in the desert sand, and to halt his murderous advance by force. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Be in no doubt. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Our action saved the city of Benghazi. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It averted a massacre. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And it has given freedom a chance in Libya. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;But be in no doubt about something else. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As I speak the people of Misurata are continuing to suffer murderous attacks  from the regime.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I have had reports this morning that the city is under attack from both land  and sea.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Qadhafi is using snipers to shoot them down and let them bleed to death in  the street. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;He has cut off food, water and electricity to starve them into  submission. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And he is harassing humanitarian ships trying to get into the port to do what  they can to relieve their suffering. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;He continues to be in flagrant breach of the UN Security Council  Resolution. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;That is why there has been such widespread support amongst the Libyan people  – and in the wider Arab world – for the military action we are taking. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It has saved lives, and it is saving lives. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As one Misurata resident put it: “These strikes give us hope”. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Today we must be clear and unequivocal: we will not take that hope away. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We will continue to implement United Nations Resolutions for as long as is  necessary to protect the Libyan people from danger. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Humanitarian Aid&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Second, humanitarian aid.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Just as it is essential that the international community works together to  stop the slaughter, it’s vital that we get aid in to save lives. This has to  happen now. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And it is happening. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Already we are seeing how the actions we have taken are helping to pave the  way for humanitarian organisations to return to liberated cities. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Even in Misurata, humanitarian agencies have managed to get some supplies  in. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In Benghazi, the ICRC, Islamic Relief and International Medical Corps are  back in and are working hard. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In Ajdabiya, thousands of people have fled, but the hospital is reported to  be functioning – though it urgently needs more nursing staff and supplies. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So supplies are getting in, but we need to redouble our efforts.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The whole international community needs to work together.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The UN’s has an absolutely critical role in ensuring that humanitarian aid  gets through to those who need it, especially in the newly liberated towns. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Building a stable peace&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;When the fighting is over, we will need to put right the damage that Qadhafi  has inflicted. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Repairing the hospitals ruined by shells… &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;…rebuilding the homes demolished by Qadhafi’s tank rounds… &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;…and restoring the mosques and minarets smashed by his barbarity. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It’s never too early to start planning co-ordinated action to support peace  in Libya over the long term. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It is surely the UN, working with regional organisations and the rest of the  international community, who should lead this work. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Repairing physical infrastructure… &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;…ensuring basic services… &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;…and helping Libyans restore functioning government at every level. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Planning for the future&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Third, we must help the people of Libya plan now for the political future  they want to build. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Our military actions can protect the people from attack; and our humanitarian  actions can help the people recover. But neither are sufficient to provide the  path to greater freedom. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Ultimately, the solution must be a political one – and it must be for the  Libyan people themselves to determine their own destiny. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;That means reinforcing the UN sanctions to exert the greatest possible  pressure on the Qadhafi regime. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And it requires bringing together the widest possible coalition of political  leaders… &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;…including civil society, local leaders and most importantly the Interim  Transitional National Council… &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;…so that the Libyan people can speak with one voice. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Our task in the international community is to support Libya as it looks  forward to a better future. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This will not be achieved in a matter of days or weeks. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The coalition of countries and organisations gathered here today must commit  to seeing this task through. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I propose that today’s Conference should agree to set up a Contact Group,  which will put political effort on a sustained basis into supporting the Libyan  people. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We should be clear about the scale of the challenge. It will mean looking  afresh at our entire engagement with Libya and the wider region – from our  development programmes, to our cultural exchanges and trade arrangements. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;All our efforts must support the building blocks of a democratic  society. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Freedom of expression &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The right to free and fair elections &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The right to peaceful protest. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Respect for human rights and the rule of law. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;These aren’t values that belong to any one nation. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;They are universal. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;They are embedded in the Vision of a Democratic Libya set out by the Interim  Transitional National Council today. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And we should warmly welcome this commitment. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As this broad range of countries gathers here today in London, there are  people suffering terribly under Qadhafi’s rule. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Our message to them is this: there are better days ahead for Libya. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Just as we continue to act to help protect the Libyan people from the  brutality of Qadhafi’s regime… &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;…so we will support and stand by them as they seek to take control of their  own destiny. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Their courage and determination will be rewarded. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;A new beginning for Libya is within their grasp and we will help them seize  it.&lt;/p&gt;http://www.number10.gov.uk/news/speeches-and-transcripts/2011/03/pms-speech-at-london-conference-on-libya-62642&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5096042226542429471-1921163418965263193?l=africansindiaspora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/feeds/1921163418965263193/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5096042226542429471&amp;postID=1921163418965263193&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/1921163418965263193'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/1921163418965263193'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/2011/03/london-conference-on-libya.html' title='London Conference on Libya'/><author><name>DIASPORA AFRICANA</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='30' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1tPPOAZ1KPI/SM0NG8wR1-I/AAAAAAAABZ8/bUiBdZYLVAk/S220/images.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096042226542429471.post-8445081427625512130</id><published>2011-03-28T16:20:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-03-28T16:20:31.378+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CHUKWUBIKE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='LIBYA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DIASPORA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AFRICA'/><title type='text'>LES MENSONGES DE LA GUERRE DE L’OCCIDENT CONTRE LA LIBYE de Jean-Paul Pougala (*)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;&lt;blockquote style="border-left: rgb(16,16,255) 2px solid;

Téléphoner de et vers l'Afrique est alors le tarif le plus cher au monde, parce qu'il y avait un impôt de 500 millions de dollars que l'Europe encaissait par an sur les conversations téléphoniques même à l'intérieur du même pays africain, pour le transit des voix sur les satellites européens comme Intelsat. Un satellite africain coûtait juste 400 millions de dollars payable une seule fois et ne plus payer les 500 millions de location par an. Quel banquier ne financerait pas un tel projet&amp;nbsp;? Mais l'équation la plus difficile à résoudre était&amp;nbsp;: comment l'esclave peut-il s'affranchir de l'exploitation servile de son maître en sollicitant l'aide de ce dernier pour y parvenir&amp;nbsp;? Ainsi, la Banque Mondiale , le FMI, les USA, l'Union Européenne ont fait miroiter inutilement ces pays pendant 14 ans. C'est en 2006 que Kadhafi met fin au supplice de l'inutile mendicité aux prétendus bienfaiteurs occidentaux pratiquant &amp;nbsp;des prêts à un taux usuraire; le guide Libyen a ainsi mis sur la table 300 millions de dollars, La Banque Africaine de Développement a mis 50 millions, la Banque Ouest Africaine de Développement, 27 millions &amp;nbsp;et c'est ainsi que l'Afrique a depuis le 26 décembre 2007 le tout premier satellite de communication de son histoire. Dans la foulée, la Chine et la Russie s'y sont mises, cette fois en cédant leur technologie et ont permis le lancement de nouveaux satellites, Sud-Africain, Nigérian, Angolais, Algérien et même un deuxième satellite africain est lancé en juillet 2010. Et on attend pour 2020, le tout premier satellite technologiquement 100% africain et construit sur le sol africain, notamment en Algérie. Ce satellite est prévu pour concurrencer les meilleurs du monde, mais à un coût 10 fois inférieur, un vrai défi. Voilà comment un simple geste symbolique de 300 petits millions peut changer la vie de tout un continent. La Libye de Kadhafi a fait perdre à l'Occident, pas seulement 500 millions de dollars par an mais les&amp;nbsp; milliards de dollars de dettes et d'intérêts que cette même dette permettait de générer à l'infini et de façon exponentielle, contribuant ainsi à entretenir le système occulte pour dépouiller l'Afrique. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740ListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740ListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;2-&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;FOND MONETAIRE AFRICAIN, BANQUE CENTRALE AFRICAINE, BANQUE AFRICAINE DES INVESTISSEMENTS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Les 30 milliards de dollars saisis par M. Obama appartiennent à la Banque Centrale Libyenne&amp;nbsp; et prévu pour la contribution libyenne à la finalisation de la fédération africaine à travers 3 projets phare&amp;nbsp;: la Banque Africaine d'Investissement à Syrte en Libye, la création dès ce 2011 du Fond Monétaire Africain avec un capital de 42 milliards de dollars avec Yaoundé pour siège, la Banque Centrale Africaine avec le siège à Abuja au Nigeria dont la première émission de la monnaie africaine signera la fin du Franc CFA grâce auquel Paris a la main mise sur certains pays africains depuis 50 ans. On comprend dès lors et encore une fois la rage de Paris contre Kadhafi. Le Fond Monétaire Africain doit remplacer en tout et pour tout les activités sur le sol africain du Fond Monétaire International qui avec seulement 25 milliards de dollars de capital a pu mettre à genoux tout un continent avec des privatisations discutables, comme le fait d'obliger les pays africains à passer d'un monopole publique vers un monopole privé. Ce sont les mêmes pays occidentaux qui ont frappés à la porte pour être eux aussi membres du Fond Monétaire africain et c'est à l'unanimité que le 16-17 décembre 2010 à Yaoundé les Africains ont repoussé cette convoitise, instituant que seuls les pays africains seront membres de ce FMA.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Il est donc évident qu'après la Libye la coalition occidentale déclarera sa prochaine guerre à l'Algérie, parce qu'en plus des ses ressources énergétiques énormes, ce pays a une réserve monétaire de 150 milliards d'Euros. Ce qui devient la convoitise de tous les pays qui bombardent la Libye et qui ont tous quelque chose en commun, ils sont tous financièrement en quasi faillite, les USA à eux seuls ont 14.000 Milliards de dollars de dettes,&amp;nbsp; La France , la Grande Bretagne et l'Italie ont chacun environ 2.000 milliards de dettes publiques alors que les 46 pays d'Afrique Noire ont au total moins de 400 milliards de dollars de dettes publiques. &amp;nbsp;Créer des fausses guerres en Afrique dans l'espoir de trouver de l'oxygène pour continuer leur apnée économique qui ne fait que s'empirer ne fera qu'enfoncer les Occidentaux dans leur déclin qui a pris son envol en 1884, lors de la fameuse Conférence de Berlin. Car comme l'avait prédit l'économiste Américain Adams Smith en 1865, dans son soutient à Abraham Lincoln pour l'abolition de l'esclavage, «l'économie de&amp;nbsp;tout pays qui pratique l'esclavage des noirs est en train d'amorcer une descente vers l'enfer qui sera rude le jour où les autres nations vont se réveiller&amp;nbsp;»&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;3- UNIONES&amp;nbsp; REGIONALES COMME FREIN A LA CREATION DES ETATS-UNIS D'AFRIQUE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Pour déstabiliser et détruire l'union Africaine qui va dangereusement (pour l'Occident) vers les Etats-Unis d'Afrique avec la main de maître de Kadhafi, l'Union Européenne a d'abord tenté sans y parvenir la carte de la création de l'UPM (Union Pour la Méditerranée ) Il fallait à tout prix couper l'Afrique du Nord du reste de l'Afrique en mettant en avant les mêmes thèses racistes du 18-19&lt;sup&gt;ème&lt;/sup&gt; siècle selon lesquelles les populations africaines d'origine Arabes seraient plus évoluées, plus civilisées que le reste du continent. Cela a échoué parce que Kadhafi a refusé d'y aller. Il a compris très vite le jeu à partir du moment où on parlait de la Méditerranée en associant quelques pays africains sans en informer l'Union Africaine, mais en y invitant tous les 27 pays de l'Union Européenne. L'UPM sans le principal moteur de la fédération africaine était foirée avant même de commencer, un mort – né avec Sarkozy comme Président et Mubarack, le vice-président. Ce que Alain Juppé tente de relancer, tout en misant sur la chute de Kadhafi, bien sur. Ce que les dirigeants Africains ne comprennent pas est que tant que ce sera l'Union Européennes à financer l'Union Africaine, on sera toujours au point de départ, car dans ces conditions, il n'y aura pas d'effective indépendance. C'est dans le même sens que l'Union Européenne a encouragé et financé les regroupements régionaux en Afrique. Il était évident que la CEDEAO qui a une Ambassade à Bruxelles et qui tire l'essentiel de son financement de l'UE, est un obstacle majeur contre la fédération africaine. C'est ce que Lincoln avait combattu dans la guerre de sécession aux Etats-Unis, parce qu'à partir du moment où un groupe de pays se retrouvent autour d'une organisation politique régionale, cela ne peut que fragiliser l'organe central. C'est ce que l'Europe voulait et c'est ce que les Africains n'ont pas compris en créant coup sur coup, la COMESA , l'UDEAC, la SADC et le Grand Maghreb qui n'a jamais fonctionné encore une fois grâce à Kadhafi qui lui l'avait très bien compris.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;4- KADHAFI, L'AFRICAIN QUI A PERMIS DE LAVER L'HUMILIATION DE L'APARTHEID &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Kadhafi est dans le cœur de presque tous les Africains comme un homme très généreux et humaniste pour son soutien désintéressé a la bataille contre le régime raciste d'Afrique du Sud. Si Kadhafi avait été un homme égoïste, rien ne l'obligeait à attirer sur lui les foudres des occidentaux&amp;nbsp; pour soutenir financièrement et militairement l'ANC dans sa bataille contre l'apartheid. C'est pour cela que à peine libéré de ses 27 ans de prisons, Mandela décide d'aller rompre l'embargo des Nations Unis contre la Libye le 23 Octobre 1997. A cause de cet embargo même aérien, depuis 5 longues années aucun avion ne pouvait atterrir en Libye. Pour y arriver, Il fallait prendre un avion pour la Tunisie &amp;nbsp;; arriver à Djerba et continuer en voiture pendant 5 heures pour&amp;nbsp; Ben Gardane, passer la frontière et remonter en 3 heures de route par le désert jusqu'à Tripoli. Ou alors, passer par Malte et faire la traversée de nuit, sur des bateaux mal entretenus jusqu'à la côte libyenne. Un calvaire pour tout un peuple, juste pour punir un seul homme. Mandela décida de rompre cette injustice et répondant a l'ex Président Américain Bill Clinton, qui avait jugé cette visite «malvenue», il s'insurgea&amp;nbsp;: «Aucun Etat ne peut s'arroger le rôle de gendarme du monde, et aucun Etat ne peut dicter aux autres ce qu'ils doivent faire ». il ajouta&amp;nbsp;: «&amp;nbsp;ceux-là qui hier étaient les amis de nos ennemis, ont aujourd'hui le toupet de me proposer de ne pas visiter mon frère Kadhafi, ils nous conseillent d'être ingrats et d'oublier nos amis d'hier&amp;nbsp;». En effet, pour l'Occident, les racistes d'Afrique du Sud étaient leurs frères qu'il fallait protéger. C'est pour cela que tous les membres de l'Anc étaient considérés des dangereux terroristes, y compris Nelson Mandela. Il faudra attendre le 2 Juillet 2008, pour que le Congrès Américain vote une loi pour &amp;nbsp;rayer le nom de Nelson Mandela et de ses camarades de l'ANC de cette liste noire, pas parce qu'ils ont compris la bêtise d'une telle liste, mais parce qu'on voulait faire un geste pour les 90 ans de Nelson Mandela. &amp;nbsp;Si les Occidentaux sont aujourd'hui repentis de leur soutient d'hier aux ennemis de Mandela et sont vraiment sincères lorsqu'on lui donnent des noms de rue et de places, comment continuer à faire la guerre à celui qui a permis la victoire de Mandela et son peuple, Kadhafi&amp;nbsp;?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="yiv792950740MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;B- CEUX QUI VEULENT EXPORTER LA DEMOCRATIE SONT-ILS DES DEMOCRATES&amp;nbsp;?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Et si la Libye de Kadhafi était plus démocratique que les USA, la France , la Grande Bretagne et tous ceux qui font la guerre pour exporter la démocratie en Libye&amp;nbsp;? Le 19 Mars 2003, le Président Georges Bush lance les bombes sur la tête des Iraquiens avec le prétexte d'y exporter la démocratie. Le 19 Mars 2011, c'est-à-dire 8 ans plus tard et jour pour jour, c'est le Président Français qui lance ses bombes sur la tête des Libyens avec le même prétexte de leur offrir la démocratie. Monsieur Obama, Prix Nobel de la Paix 2009 et président des Etat Unis d'Amérique, pour justifier qu'il procède à un déferlement de missiles Cruise de ses sous-marins sur la tête des Libyens a dit que c'était pour chasser le dictateur Kadhafi du pouvoir et y instaurer la démocratie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;La question que tout être humain doté de la moindre capacité intellectuel de jugement et d'appréciation&amp;nbsp; ne peut s'empêcher de se poser est&amp;nbsp;: ces pays comme la France , l'Angleterre, les USA, l'Italie, la Norvège , le Danemark, la Pologne dont la légitimité pour aller bombarder les Libyens se base sur le seul fait de s'être autoproclamés «&amp;nbsp;pays démocratiques&amp;nbsp;» sont-ils réellement démocratiques&amp;nbsp;? Si oui, sont-ils plus démocratiques que la Libye de Kadhafi&amp;nbsp;? La réponse, sans équivoque est NON, pour la simple et bonne raison que la démocratie n'existe pas.&amp;nbsp; Ce n'est pas moi qui l'affirme, mais celui-là même dont la ville natale, Genève abrite l'essentiel du commandement des Nations Unies&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;Il s'agit bien entendu de Jean-Jacques Rousseau né à Genève en 1712 qui affirme dans le chapitre IV du Livre III de son très célèbre «&amp;nbsp;Contrat Social&amp;nbsp;» que&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;: «&amp;nbsp;il n'a jamais existé de véritable démocratie, et il n'en existera jamais»&lt;/b&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Pour qu'un état soit véritablement démocratique Rousseau pose 4 conditions&amp;nbsp;selon lesquelles la Libye de Kadhafi est même de loin plus démocratique que les Etats-Unis d'Amérique, la France et tous les autres qui prétendent lui exporter la démocratie à savoir :&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740ListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;1-&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dimension de l'Etat&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;: plus un état est grand, moins il peut être démocratique, pour Rousseau l'Etat doit être très petit pour que le peuple soit facile à rassembler et que chaque citoyen puisse aisément connaître tous les autres. Avant donc de faire voter les gens, il faut s'assurer que chacun connaisse tous les autres sans quoi voter pour voter est un acte dénué de tout fondement démocratique, c'est un simulacre de démocratie pour élire un dictateur. La structure de l'organisation de l'Etat Libyen se fonde sur une base tribale qui regroupe par définition le peuple en de petites entités. Le sentiment démocratique est plus présent dans une tribu, dans un village que dans une grande Nation, parce que le fait que tout le monde se connaisse et que la vie tourne autour des mêmes points communs apporte une sorte d'autorégulation, d'autocensure même pour peser à chaque instant, la réaction ou la contre-réaction des autres membres pour ou contre les opinions qu'on peut avoir. Sous cet angle, c'est la Lybie&amp;nbsp; qui répond le mieux&amp;nbsp; aux exigences de Rousseau, ce qu'on ne peut pas dire de même pour les Etats-Unis d'Amérique, la France ou la Grande Bretagne , des s&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;ociétés &lt;/span&gt;fortement urbanisées où la majorité des voisins ne se disent même pas bonjour et donc ne se connaissent pas, même vivant cote-à-cote pendant 20 ans. Dans ces pays, on est passé directement à l'étape suivante&amp;nbsp;: «&amp;nbsp;le vote&amp;nbsp;» qu'on a malignement sanctifié afin de faire oublier que ce vote est inutile à partir du moment où je m'exprime sur l'avenir d'une nation sans en connaitre ses membres.&amp;nbsp; On est ainsi arrivé jusqu'à la bêtise du vote des citoyens vivant à l'étranger.&amp;nbsp; Se connaitre et se parler est la condition essentielle de la communication pour le débat démocratique qui précède toute élection.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740ListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;2-&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Il faut la simplicité des mœurs et des comportements&lt;/b&gt; pour éviter&amp;nbsp; que l'on passe l'essentiel du temps à parler de justice, de tribunal pour trouver des solutions aux multitudes querelles d'intérêts divers qu'une société trop complexe fait naitre naturellement.&amp;nbsp; Les Occidentaux se dé&amp;nbsp;finissement comme des pays civilisés, donc aux mœurs complexes et la Libye comme pays dit primitif, c'est-à-dire aux meurs simples. Sous cet angle, encore une fois, c'est la Libye qui répondrait mieux aux critères démocratiques de Rousseau que tous ceux qui prétendent lui donner des leçons de démocratie. Dans une société complexe, les trop nombreux conflits sont résolus par la loi du plus fort, puisque celui qui est riche évite la prison parce qu'il peut se permettre un meilleur avocat et surtout, orienter l'appareil répressif de l'état contre celui qui vole une banane dans un supermarché, plutôt que le délinquant financier qui fait crouler une banque. Dans une ville comme New York où 75% de la population est blanche, 80% des postes de cadres sont occupés par des Blancs et ils ne sont que 20% des personnes en prison.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740ListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;3-&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;L'égalité dans les rangs et dans les fortunes&lt;/b&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Il suffit de voir le classement FORBES 2010 pour voir quels sont les noms des personnes les plus riches de chacun des pays qui jette la bombe sur la tête des Libyens et voir la différence avec le salaire le plus bas dans chacun des pays et faire de même pour la Libye pour comprendre qu'en matière de redistribution de la richesse du pays, c'est à la Libye d'exporter son savoir faire à ceux qui la combattent et non le contraire. Même sous cet angle, selon Rousseau, la Libye serait plus démocratique que ceux qui veulent pompeusement lui exporter la prétendue démocratie. Aux Etats-Unis 5% de la population possèdent 60% de la richesse nationale. C'est le pays le plus déséquilibré, le plus inégal du monde. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740ListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;4-&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;PAS DE LUXE&lt;/b&gt;. Pour Rousseau pour qu'il y ait la démocratie dans un pays, il ne faut pas qu'il y ait de luxe parce que selon lui, le luxe rend nécessaire la richesse et cette dernière devient la vertu, l'objectif à atteindre à tout prix et non le bonheur du peuple, «&amp;nbsp;le luxe corrompt à la fois le riche et le pauvre, l'un par la possession, l'autre par la convoitise ; il vend la patrie à la mollesse, à la vanité ; il ôte à l'Etat tous ses citoyens pour les asservir les uns aux autres, et tous à l'opinion&amp;nbsp;». Ya-t-il plus de luxe en France ou en Libye&amp;nbsp;? Ce rapport d'asservissement des employés qui sont poussés jusqu'au suicide les employés mêmes des entreprises publiques ou semi-publique, pour des &lt;b&gt;raisons&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;de rentabilité et donc de possession de luxe d'une des parties est-il plus criant en Libye ou en Occident&amp;nbsp;?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Le sociologue Américain C. Wright Mills a décrit en 1956 la démocratie américaine comme &amp;nbsp;«&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;la dictature des élites&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;»&lt;span style="color: maroon;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; Selon Mills, les Etats-Unis d'Amérique ne sont pas une démocratie parce qu'en définitive, c'est l'argent qui y parle dans les élections et non le peuple. Le résultat de chaque élection y est l'expression de la voix de l'argent et non la voix du peuple. Après Bush-père et Bush-fils, pour les primaires républicaines de 2012, on parle déjà de Bush-benjamin. En plus, si le pouvoir politique se base sur la bureaucratie, Max Weber fait remarquer qu'il y a 43 millions de fonctionnaires et militaires aux Etats-Unis qui commandent effectivement le pays, mais qui n'ont été votés par personne et qui ne répondent pas directement au peuple de leurs activités. Une seule personne (un riche) est donc votée mais le vrai pouvoir sur le terrain est tenue par une seule caste de riches qui ne résulte purement et simplement que de nominations comme les ambassadeurs, les généraux de l'armée etc...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Combien de personnes dans les pays autoproclamés «&amp;nbsp;démocratiques&amp;nbsp;» savent qu'au Pérou la constitution interdit un deuxième mandat consécutif au président de la république sortant&amp;nbsp;? Combien de personnes savent qu'au Guatemala, non seulement le président sortant ne doit plus jamais se présenter comme candidat à cette fonction, mais qu'en plus à aucun degré de parenté, aucun membre de sa famille ne pourra plus prétendre à cette fonction&amp;nbsp;? &amp;nbsp;Combien savent que le Rwanda est le pays qui intègre politiquement le mieux les femmes au monde avec 49% de parlementaires femmes&amp;nbsp;? Combien savent que dans le classement de la CIA 2007, sur 10 pays les mieux gérés au monde, 4 sont Africains&amp;nbsp;? Avec la palme d'or à la Guinée équatoriale&amp;nbsp; dont la dette publique ne représente que 1,14% de son PIB.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;La guerre civile, les révoltes, les rebellions sont les ingrédients d'un début de démocratie soutient Rousseau. Parce que la démocratie n'est pas une fin, mais un processus permanent pour réaffirmer les droits naturels des humains que dans tous les pays du monde (sans exception) une poignée d'hommes et de femmes, confisquant le pouvoir du peuple, l'oriente pour se maintenir aux affaires. On trouve ici et là des formes de castes qui usurpent le&amp;nbsp;mot «&amp;nbsp;démocratie&amp;nbsp;» qui doit être cet idéal vers lequel tendre et non un label à s'approprier ou un refrain à vanter parce qu'on est juste capable de crier plus fort que les autres. Si un pays est calme comme la France ou les Etats-Unis, c'est-à-dire sans aucune révolte, pour Rousseau cela veut tout simplement dire que le système dictatorial est suffisamment répressif pour empêcher toute tentative de rébellion. Si les Libyens se révoltent, ce n'est pas une mauvaise chose. C'est prétendre que les peuples acceptent stoïquement le système qui les opprime partout dans le monde sans réagir qui est très mauvais. Et Rousseau de conclure&amp;nbsp;: «&amp;nbsp; &lt;i&gt;Malo periculosam libertatem quam quietum servitium&amp;nbsp; -&lt;/i&gt;traduction : S'il y avait un peuple de dieux, il se gouvernerait démocratiquement. Un gouvernement si parfait ne convient pas à des hommes&amp;nbsp;». Dire qu'on tue les Libyens pour leur bien est un leurre.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="yiv792950740MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;C- QUELLES LECONS POUR L'AFRIQUE&amp;nbsp;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740ListParagraph" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Après 500 ans de relations de dominateur et de dominé avec l'Occident, il est dès lors prouvé que nous n'avons pas les mêmes critères pour définir le bon et le méchant. Nous avons des intérêts profondément divergents. Comment ne pas déplorer le Oui de 3 pays africains au sud du Sahara, Nigeria, Afrique du Sud et Gabon pour la résolution 1973 inaugurant la nouvelle forme de colonisation baptisée «&amp;nbsp;protection des peuples&amp;nbsp;», validant la théorie raciste que les Européens véhiculent depuis le 18&lt;sup&gt;ème&lt;/sup&gt; siècle selon laquelle l'Afrique du Nord n'a rien à partager avec l'Afrique Subsaharienne, l'Afrique du nord &amp;nbsp;serait ainsi plus évoluée, plus cultivée et plus civilisée que le reste de l'Afrique. Tout se passe comme si la Tunisie , l'Egypte, la Libye , l'Algérie ne faisaient pas partie de l'Afrique. Même les Nations Unies semblent ignorer la légitimité de l'Union Africaine sur ses états membres. L'objectif est d'isoler les pays d'Afrique subsaharienne afin de mieux les fragiliser et les tenir sous contrôle. En effet, dans le capital du nouveau Fond Monétaire Africain (FMA), l'Algérie avec 16 milliards de dollars et la Libye avec 10 milliards de dollars contribuent à eux tous seuls pour près de 62% du capital qui est de 42 milliards de Dollars. Le premier pays d'Afrique subsaharienne et les plus peuplés, le Nigeria suivi de l'Afrique du Sud arrivent très loin derrière avec 3 milliards de dollars chacun.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;C'est très inquiétant de constater que pour la première fois de l'histoire des Nations Unies, on a déclaré la guerre à un peuple sans avoir exploré au préalable la moindre piste pacifique pour solutionner le problème. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;L'Afrique a-t-elle encore sa place dans une telle organisation&amp;nbsp;? Le Nigeria et l'Afrique du Sud sont disposés à voter OUI à tout ce que l'Occident demande, parce qu'ils croient naïvement aux promesses des uns et des autres de leur donner une place de membre permanent au Conseil de Sécurité avec le même droit de veto. Ils oublient tous les deux que la France n'a aucun pouvoir de leur attribuer le moindre poste. Si elle l'avait, il y a belle lurette que Mitterrand l'aurait faite pour l'Allemagne de Helmut Kohl. La reforme des Nations Unies n'est pas à l'ordre du jour. La seule manière de compter, est la méthode chinoise&amp;nbsp;: tous les 50 pays africains doivent quitter les Nations Unies. Et s'ils doivent y retourner un jour, ne le faire que s'ils ont obtenu ce qu'ils demandent depuis longtemps, un poste pour toute la fédération africaine, sinon rien. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Cette méthode de la non-violence est la seule arme de justice dont disposent les pauvres et les faibles que nous sommes. Nous devons tout simplement quitter les Nations Unies, car cette organisation de par sa configuration, de par sa hiérarchie est aux services des plus forts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Nous devons quitter les Nations Unies afin de marquer notre réprobation de cette conception du monde basée uniquement sur l'écrasement du plus faible. Tout au moins ils seront libres de continuer de le faire, mais pas avec notre signature, pas en rappelant que nous sommes d'accord alors qu'ils savent très bien qu'ils ne nous ont jamais interrogés. Et même quand nous avons donné notre propre point de vue, comme la rencontre de samedi 19/3 à Nouakchott avec la déclaration sur la contrariété à l'action militaire, ceci a été passé tout simplement sous silence pour aller accomplir le forfait de bombarder&amp;nbsp; le peuple africain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Ce qui arrive aujourd'hui est le scénario déjà vu auparavant avec la Chine. Aujourd 'hui, on reconnaît le gouvernement Ouattara, on reconnaît le gouvernement des insurgés en Libye. C'est ce qui s'est passé à la fin de la deuxième guerre mondiale avec la Chine. La soit disante communauté internationale avait choisi Taiwan comme unique représentant du peuple Chinois en lieu de place de la Chine de Mao. Il faudra attendre 26 ans, c'est-à-dire le 25 octobre 1971 avec la résolution 2758 que tous les Africains devraient lire, pour mettre fin à la bêtise humaine. La Chine est admise, sauf qu'elle a prétendu et obtenue d'être membre permanent avec doit de veto, si non elle n'entre pas. Cette exigence satisfaite et la résolution d'admission entrée en vigueur, il faudra attendre un an pour que le 29 septembre 1972, le Ministre Chinois des Affaires Etrangères donne sa réponse avec une lettre au Secrétaire Général des Nations Unies pas pour dire Oui ou Merci, mais pour faire des mises au point, en garantie de sa dignité et de sa respectabilité. Qu'est-ce que l'Afrique espère obtenir des Nations Unies sans poser un acte fort pour se faire respecter&amp;nbsp;? On a vu en Cote d'Ivoire un fonctionnaire des Nations Unies se considérer au dessus d'une institution constitutionnelle de ce pays. Nous sommes entrés dans cette organisation en acceptant d'être des serfs et croire que nous serons invités à table pour manger avec les autres dans les plats que nous avons lavés est tout simplement crédule, pire, stupide. Quand l'UA reconnaît la victoire de Ouattara sans même tenir compte des conclusions contraires de ses propres observateurs envoyés sur le terrain, juste pour faire plaisir à nos anciens maîtres, comment peut-on nous respecter&amp;nbsp;? Lorsque le président Sud-Africain Zuma déclare que Ouattara n'a pas gagné les élections et change à 180° après un tour à Paris, on peut se demander ce que valent ces dirigeants qui représentent et parlent au nom de 1 milliard d'Africains.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;La force et la vraie liberté de l'Afrique viendront de sa capacité à poser des actes réfléchis et en assumer les conséquences. La dignité et la respectabilité ont un prix. Sommes-nous disposés à le payer&amp;nbsp;? Si non, notre place reste à la cuisine, aux toilettes pour garantir le confort des autres.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="yiv792950740MsoNormal" style="text-align:

    &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;"The AU action is ... aiming at facilitating dialogue between the  Libyan parties on reforms to be launched to eliminate the root causes  of the conflict," the union's commission chairman Jean Ping told a  meeting in Addis Ababa, adding that the process should end with  democratic elections.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span id="midArticle_2"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;It was the first statement by the AU, which had rejected any form  of foreign intervention in the Libya crisis, since the U.N. Security  Council imposed a no-fly zone last week and began air strikes on Libyan  military targets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span id="midArticle_3"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;"It is important that we agree on such an approach in order to  ensure lasting peace, security and democracy in Libya," Ping told the  meeting, attended by representatives from Libyan President Muammar  Gaddafi's government, the opposition, the United States, France and the  United Nations among others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span id="midArticle_4"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;"We have to be forward-looking in our meeting and not split hairs  with controversies relating to differences that have ruined our  relationship in the past. We have to be pragmatic as to identifying the  actions we can undertake together," he said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span id="midArticle_5"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon told the Security Council on  Thursday there was no evidence Tripoli was complying with U.N.  resolutions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span id="midArticle_6"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;He said his special envoy to Libya had warned Gaddafi's  government of possible "additional measures" if Libya failed to comply  with its ceasefire demand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="midArticle_7"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;"&gt;Lightly armed opposition members sped back to their territory by the hundreds, fleeing eastward in cars and pickup trucks mounted with machine-guns, The Associated Press reported.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;"&gt;A rebel official in the town of Ajdabiya said Gadhafi's troops and tanks were battling the insurgents at the western entrance to Ras Lanouf and using gunboats to fire on the rebels from the sea.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-width: 0px;

There, angry onlookers were egging the interrogators on, claiming  the youth – likely from Niger – had already “confessed” to being a foreign  fighter. Yet he denied it, again and again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Such scenes are playing out across Libya these days, as the uprising fuels  friend-or-foe fears that resuscitate long-dormant tensions between mostly Arab  citizens and foreign workers. “The black African, or sub-Saharan African  population is, without any question, suffering repercussions and revenge  attacks, for the real or perceived use of mercenaries by Gadhafi forces,” said  Fred Abrahams of Human Rights Watch in New York.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The organization, which is calling on Western governments to help evacuate  nationals from several African countries, says international media has given too  much credence to inflated claims about Colonel Moammar Gadhafi’s reliance on  foreign mercenaries. The group’s man on the ground, Peter Bouckaert, has even  suggested that “lazy, irresponsible journalism” imperils lives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Hundreds of thousands of migrant workers have flocked to Libya, mostly from  neighbouring African states. Many of them are now being caught up in the  heightening paranoia wrought by the conflict. They are hiding in urban centres  and amassing along the borders in refugee camps. Compared to Westerners, whose  governments are evacuating their citizenry at great expense, these migrants  often have no help getting out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Experts fear the Libyan conflict is evolving into a protracted civil war  among various tribes. As both sides dig in, they accuse each other of recruiting  foreign fighters. Col. Gadhafi claims his enemies are being spurred on by  foreign “terrorists.” But many experts believe that the dictator himself is  taking advantage of alliances he has forged over the past 40 years, with a  variety of rebel forces in nearby countries.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;“They certainly are non-nationals fighting for power, if you define that as a  mercenary. He does have non-Libyans,” said Peter Pham, a U.S.-based expert on  African security issues. He said that Col. Gadhafi is poised to have surrounded  himself with Sudanese rebels, Tuareg tribesman, and a variety of other  battle-tested veterans from regional conflicts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Whether they are truly mercenaries is another matter. Some of the dictator’s  expatriate loyalists have actually resided in Libya for years. That means they  could cast their lot with the Gadhafi family for a variety of reasons – loyalty,  paycheques, or for lack of any other suitable haven. There are also credible  accounts that Tripoli is bringing in untested youths from nearby African  countries to shore up the government’s ranks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Speculation or not, rebel factions give a lot of credence to claims about the  regime’s reliance on mercenaries. This mindset spells trouble for young men from  non-Arab Africa, who find themselves caught at checkpoints.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Mr. Tomasevic, the 41-year-old Serbian photographer, and Mohammed Abbas, a  31-year-old British reporter, were covering rebel movements for Reuters when  they came across last week’s scene.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Rebels were interrogating not one, but three, captive youths – including the  one who was photographed. None seemed older than 20. They were wearing what  appeared to be their best clothes. And they had apparently been pulled out of a  car prior to being questioned.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;What happened to them in the end? No one knows. The Reuters tandem says the  rebel interrogators shoved their hostages during a 10-minute grilling session,  but did not otherwise harm them. The rebels put the captives in a car bound for  another rebel strongpoint, miles away.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;“I’m very optimistic they’ve been exonerated,” said Mr. Abbas, the Reuters  reporter. “I very much doubt they’ve been killed.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;He explained that he’s heard that the leaders of the rebellion are exercising  admirable restraint, and urging their fellow fighters not to leap to any  conclusions about captives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;As for Mr. Tomasevic, the photographer, he said he was convinced the youth  were not militants. “They had nice shiny shoes, you know?” he said, adding that  such footwear suggests struggling migrants eager to make good impressions on  their Libyan hosts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="articlecopy s6of12 fl"&gt;&lt;aside class="articleseealso"&gt;&lt;header&gt;&lt;aside class="articlesidebar s3of12"&gt;http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/africa-mideast/why-black-africans-are-paying-the-price-for-the-real-or-perceived-use-of-mercenaries-in-libya/article1933381/&lt;/aside&gt;&lt;/header&gt;&lt;/aside&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="articlecopy s6of12 fl"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5096042226542429471-3357652317915077955?l=africansindiaspora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/feeds/3357652317915077955/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5096042226542429471&amp;postID=3357652317915077955&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/3357652317915077955'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/3357652317915077955'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/2011/03/why-black-africans-are-paying-price-for.html' title='Why black Africans are paying the price for the real or perceived use of mercenaries in Libya'/><author><name>Okey.Chukbyke C.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01707879076116787313</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3Tng5Dz4Azw/SPJNComHKzI/AAAAAAAABmI/vVTON3NKyrU/S220/DSCF2455(1).JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096042226542429471.post-6577519612906565443</id><published>2011-03-08T16:25:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-03-08T16:27:32.250+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CHUKWUBIKE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='LIBYA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AFRICA'/><title type='text'>WHERE IS  THE   AFRICAN UNION?</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; AFRICA...LIBYA...REBELS...

They came upon many insurgents at a major target located near the former defence ministry which we conquered."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The officer added: "The troops' morale is good despite these losses which are the worst since we have been deployed in Somalia, because we achieved our goals."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Base captured&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile,&amp;nbsp;an AU&amp;nbsp;commander said on Saturday that his forces had captured a key position from al-Shabab in the capital Mogadishu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Major-General Nathan Mugisha said the&amp;nbsp;soldiers had&amp;nbsp;captured the former ministry of defence building in the north of the city, gaining control of a major al-Shabab base.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;"By taking these positions we have effectively reduced their freedom of manoeuvre in that sector," Mugisha told a news conference in Nairobi.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;"This peace in Mogadishu comes at a price, and this burden has fallen heavily on AMISOM and government forces."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier, al-Shabab fighters were forced to abandon their positions in Belet Hawo, a town which borders Kenya, said Sharif Abdiwahid Sharif Aden, a spokesman for pro-government armed forces.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The latest&amp;nbsp;offensive aims to break al-Shabab's&amp;nbsp;hold on large swathes of the country's south and central regions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The group - which has instituted a Taliban-style system of rule, with strict edicts enforced by its own courts and public executions - has boxed in the government to just a few city blocks of Mogadishu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The transitional&amp;nbsp;government has been promising a full-scale war against&amp;nbsp;al-Shabab for years, but co-ordination among its poorly trained, seldom-paid government forces has delayed that push.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;A report last month by the think-tank International Crisis Group described the government as being on "life support".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://english.aljazeera.net/news/africa/2011/03/20113514523898530.html"&gt;news&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="DetailedSummary"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5096042226542429471-8625317302581678707?l=africansindiaspora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/feeds/8625317302581678707/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5096042226542429471&amp;postID=8625317302581678707&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/8625317302581678707'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/8625317302581678707'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/2011/03/au-troops-killed-in-somalia-clashes.html' title='AU troops killed in Somalia clashes'/><author><name>Chukbyke.Okey,C.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16962984058168305029</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_WpBVPss51wg/SCMrvlrAuyI/AAAAAAAAH7Y/bRsOOrUonx8/S220/Copy-of-Copy-of-IM000524.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096042226542429471.post-2508875582767323324</id><published>2011-03-04T22:52:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2011-03-04T22:55:31.677+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CHUKWUBIKE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AFRICA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='POLITICS'/><title type='text'>REBELLION,DEMOCRACY AND DICTATORS</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none;

La comunità africana  subsahariana che occupa le periferie e i vicoli di Bengasi e Tripoli. I somali,  etiopi ed eritrei (ma anche nigeriani e ganesi) che affollano le baracche delle  città e che sognano l’Europa (e l’Italia).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span id="more-37795"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Prima della sigla degli accordi tra Tripoli e  Roma, dalle coste libiche si partiva in massa per Lampedusa. I trafficanti  libici hanno avuto buon gioco fino a quel momento a far “chiudere un occhio” o  tutti e due, ai guardiacoste libici per far partire i barconi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Ora che la crisi libica distoglie le forze di sicurezza (quelle ancora fedeli  al regime) dal controllo delle coste, &lt;strong&gt;il rischio è che gli  &lt;em&gt;smuggler&lt;/em&gt; rimettano in moto la macchina &lt;/strong&gt;del traffico di esseri  umani su larga scala.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Sono 8.000 i rifugiati (somali, eritrei, etiopi) registrati dall’Unhcr in  Libia. Ma la popolazione subsahariana nel Paese maghrebino è molto molto  superiore. Si parla, ma sono stime, di centinaia di migliaia, forse un milione e  mezzo. Manovali, spesso irregolari, piccoli commercianti, che potrebbero tentare  la via dell’Europa. Che ruolo giocheranno nella rivolta?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;E poi ci sono le prigioni di Gandufa, Misratah, affollate di subsahariani  entrati in Libia clandestinamente. Ora che il dispositivo di sicurezza si sta  sgretolando, che fine faranno? Le porte delle prigioni e dei container nel  deserto si apriranno?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Intanto, dopo giorni di &lt;em&gt;rumors&lt;/em&gt; pare che &lt;strong&gt;“la caccia al  nero”&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;sia partita&lt;/strong&gt;: dato che il Colonnello Gheddafi si  è affidato a mercenari ciadiani e sudanesi, in alcuni casi bloccati e linciati  dagli insorti, il rischio è la facile e tragica equivalenza: nero=nemico. E  allora, per tanti, potrebbe essere “Europa a tutti i costi”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Partendo dalle spiagge di Bengasi, &lt;strong&gt;quali le rotte possibili verso  l’Europa?&lt;/strong&gt; Lampedusa, meta tradizionale, ma anche la Sicilia, località:  Punta Braccetto e Marina di Ragusa, e Pozzallo dove già si dirigono in massa gli  egiziani (dai 3 ai 4 giorni circa il viaggio). E poi, il Salento e le spiagge di  Crotone in Calabria. E infine, la Sardegna, soprattutto il sud dell’isola.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Altra rotta, poi, più a est, verso le &lt;strong&gt;sempre poco controllate isole  greche&lt;/strong&gt;. Troppi arcipelaghi, troppe isole e troppo pochi i guardiacoste  greci. Creta è l’isola più vicina alla Libia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://blog.panorama.it/mondo/2011/02/23/gli-africani-in-libia-il-fattore-x-dellemergenza/"&gt;fonte&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post"&gt;http://blog.panorama.it/mondo/2011/02/23/gli-africani-in-libia-il-fattore-x-dellemergenza/&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="post"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5096042226542429471-7582935339146115569?l=africansindiaspora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/feeds/7582935339146115569/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5096042226542429471&amp;postID=7582935339146115569&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/7582935339146115569'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/7582935339146115569'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/2011/02/libia-la-caccia-al-nero.html' title='LIBIA ........“la caccia al nero”'/><author><name>Okey.Chukbyke C.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01707879076116787313</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3Tng5Dz4Azw/SPJNComHKzI/AAAAAAAABmI/vVTON3NKyrU/S220/DSCF2455(1).JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096042226542429471.post-6423565276269077131</id><published>2011-02-23T07:43:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-02-23T07:43:13.028+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CHUKWUBIKE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ASSOCIATIONS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ITALY'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DIASPORA'/><title type='text'>Now active on www.dirco.gov.za the African Diaspora Weblink + attached TCEM opening speech deliverd by South African Deputy Minister of International Relations and Cooperation</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family: inherit;

font-family: &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: large;"&gt;The     Republic of South Africa, in collaboration with the African Union (AU)     Commission, will host the African Diaspora Technical Committee of Experts     Meeting (TCEM) on 21 and 22 February 2011. The meeting will be convened at     the Conference Centre of the OR Tambo Building (Department of International     Relations and Cooperation's Head Quarters). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: large;"&gt;The     Republic of South Africa has been seized with the African Diaspora     Initiative. One of the highlights to this effect is the success of the     African Diaspora conference it jointly organised with the AU in March 2005     in Kingston, Jamaica. This conference brought together Africans on the     continent and representatives of the African Diaspora from the Caribbean     and was held under the theme "Towards Unity and United Action by     Africans and the African Diaspora in the Caribbean for a Better World: The     Case of South Africa".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: large;"&gt;It was     therefore on the basis of the success of the Jamaica conference and its     continued commitment to the African Diaspora Initiative that the African     Union (AU) endorsed South Africa as the host of the 2008 Summit, which was     later postponed due to unforeseen circumstances.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: large;"&gt;The TCEM     brings together experts from the continent and its Diaspora and marks the     commencement of the implementation of the first key element of the AU/South     Africa African Diaspora roadmap. The other two key elements, as presented     by South Africa and endorsed by the AU, are the Ministerial meeting planned     to take place in September 2011 followed by the Summit in 2012.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: large;"&gt;In this     regard, the main objectives of the TCEM are, among others, to take stock of     factors that might have arisen since the postponement of the 2008 Summit;     and to review what the Ministerial and the Summit ought to achieve. The     focus of the review will be, but not limited to, the Draft Summit     Declaration, Minister's Programme of Action and previous outcomes     reports. Proposals for bankable projects will be made within the ambit of     the previously agreed areas of cooperation namely, political, economic and     social areas of cooperation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: large;"&gt;More     information, including documentation and the full list of participants, can     be accessed from the African Diaspora web link on the DIRCO website by     visiting &lt;a href="http://www.dirco.gov.za/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;www.dirco.gov.za&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: large;"&gt;Some of the     high level luminaries and academia who will participate in the meeting     include Ambassador Dudley Thompson, Dr. Mathole Motshekga, Dr Julius Garvey     and Professor Kwesi Prah.&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Issued     by the Department of International Relations and Cooperation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;OR Tambo Building&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Private Bag X152&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Pretoria&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #222222; font-family: &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;18     February 2011&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;    &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="yiv86046773MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;From Italy two individuals are taking part in the TCEM:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="yiv86046773MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="yiv86046773MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;From the Central and South of Italy some of the African Diaspora nominated Mr. Victor Imeka Okeadu (originally from Nigeria) to attend and the TCEM.

L’eventuale fine del regime di Muammar Gheddafi porterebbe a conseguenze ancora più drammatiche nel caso venissero meno gli accordi Italia-Libia in materia di immigrazione stipulati nel 2008 con il ‘Trattato d’amicizia, partenariato e cooperazione’. I dubbi sulla capacità dell’Unione Europea di far fronte alla situazione – per ora il Consiglio europeo non ha nemmeno accolto la richiesta del governo italiano di convocare una riunione urgente per discutere dell’emergenza immigrazione – peggiorano il quadro e questo mentre anche dal resto dell’Africa arrivano segnali preoccupanti di crisi.&lt;/div&gt;A sud del Sahara 800 milioni di persone vivono in condizioni al confronto delle quali abitare in Tunisia o in Libia parrebbe una fortuna. La Libia, con un PIL pro capite di quasi 17.000 dollari, si colloca tra gli stati ad alto sviluppo, 53esima nell’ISU, l’Indice di Sviluppo Umano 2010 dello United Nation Development Program. Per avere un’idea del divario esistente, la Nigeria, ad esempio, occupa il 142° posto nell’ISU, ha un PIL pro capite di soli 2.289 dollari, ma di fatto il 70% dei nigeriani vive con meno di un dollaro al giorno: e non è tra i paesi africani più poveri essendo stata fino al 2009 il primo produttore di petrolio dell’Africa (poi scavalcata dall’Angola) con 752 milioni di barili annui contro i 603 della Libia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Difatti anche molte capitali dell’Africa sub-sahariana nei giorni scorsi sono state teatro di manifestazioni di protesta per l’aumento dei prezzi dei generi di prima necessità. In Senegal la periferia della capitale Dakar è stata posta sotto assedio per giorni, a partire dall’inizio di febbraio, da quotidiane manifestazioni di protesta: oltre che per il costo della vita, a cui il governo ha inteso rimediare introducendo un sistema di controllo statale sui prezzi, le proteste riguardavano le continue interruzioni nell’erogazione della corrente elettrica. In Ghana a esasperare la popolazione scesa in piazza ad Accra è stato l’aumento del 30% del carburante deciso dal governo, per di più a poche settimane dall’inaugurazione della piattaforma off-shore con cui inizia l’estrazione del petrolio nel paese. Nell’arcipelago delle Mauritius l’insostenibile costo dei generi alimentari ha suscitato violente proteste a fine gennaio. Pochi giorni prima, in Tanzania, due morti, decine di feriti e numerosi arresti è stato il bilancio delle proteste di massa organizzate ad Arusha dove la collera popolare è stata scatenata non solo dalle difficili condizioni di vita, ma anche dai vistosi brogli che, secondo l’opposizione, hanno caratterizzato le recenti elezioni amministrative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Proprio l’andamento dei molti appuntamenti elettorali già conclusi e imminenti costituisce un ulteriore motivo di preoccupazione e di delusione per chi avesse sperato che il voto potesse premiare leader africani più responsabili e competenti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il 23 gennaio, ad esempio, la Repubblica Centrafricana è andata alle urne per eleggere il capo di stato e il parlamento. Nonostante le liste elettorali scorrette, i seggi spostati o soppressi, i verbali scomparsi, le schede rubate, il voto mancato nelle regioni controllate dall’opposizione armata e altri problemi la Commissione elettorale si è detta soddisfatta delle operazioni di voto e il 7 febbraio, quando ancora restava da esaminare il 27% delle schede, ha annunciato la vittoria di Francois Bozizé, presidente in carica dal 2003 grazie a un colpo di stato. Al parlamento, tra i vincitori, figurano: la moglie del presidente, due suoi figli, uno dei quali è già ministro della Difesa, e un suo nipote, già ministro delle miniere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Con un colpo di stato, fallito, a fine gennaio l’opposizione, in Gabon, ha tentato di invalidare l’esito delle presidenziali che nel 2009 hanno legalizzato, tra vane proteste di brogli e irregolarità, la presa del potere di Ali Bongo che, come il collega Faure Gnassingbe in Togo, ha ereditato la carica presidenziale alla morte al padre. Il Benin doveva andare alle urne il 27 febbraio, ma il voto è stato rimandato al 6 marzo per problemi organizzativi: il registro dei votanti non è pronto e dagli accertamenti compiuti risulta che la lista provvisoria degli aventi diritto al voto esclude migliaia di cittadini proprio nei distretti notoriamente favorevoli all’opposizione.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il 18 febbraio è toccato all’Uganda andare alle urne. Il presidente in carica Yoweri Museveni si candida per la quarta volta, la sua vittoria e quella del suo partito alle legislative sono date per scontate. È una situazione emblematica dell’assetto politico del continente. Il mondo aveva guardato con fiducia a Museveni quando, nel 1986, aveva messo fine al terribile periodo della storia ugandese segnato dalle deliranti dittature di Amin Dada, Milton Obote e Tito Okello. Ancora nel 1997, in un dossier, la Banca Mondiale annunciava l’avvento di un “rinascimento africano” portando Museveni e due altri “giovani leoni” a esempio di una nuova generazione di leader, avanguardia di una sicura svolta in senso democratico, in grado di coinvolgere tutto il continente, e protagonisti di performance economiche tali da eclissare quelle delle “tigri asiatiche”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poi Museveni si è inventato il “no party system”, sostenendo che il paese non era ancora maturo per la democrazia, e, nel 2006, ha ammesso il multipartitismo, ma in cambio ha fatto eliminare dalla costituzione l’articolo che limitava a due i mandati presidenziali per persona.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gli altri due “leoni” su cui la Banca Mondiale scommetteva nel 1997 sono Melles Zenawi e Isayas Afeworki. Zenawi è primo ministro dell’Etiopia dal 1991, anno in cui con un colpo di stato ha messo fine alla dittatura di Haile Mariam Menghistu. Ammesso il multipartitismo nel 2000, l’opposizione ha ottenuto ottimi risultati alle legislative e amministrative del 2005. Zenawi ha replicato con l’arresto di centinaia di candidati dell’opposizione eletti, incluso il sindaco della capitale, e con la repressione delle proteste sedate con decine di vittime e migliaia di arresti. Il terzo “leone” era il leader del movimento secessionista eritreo, Isayas Afeworki, presidente dell’Eritrea dal 1993, anno dell’indipendenza dall’Etiopia. Da allora il paese non è mai andato al voto e quello di Afeworki è ritenuto uno dei peggiori regimi del pianeta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.loccidentale.it/node/102659"&gt;http://www.loccidentale.it/node/102659&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5096042226542429471-1614788809052544182?l=africansindiaspora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/feeds/1614788809052544182/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5096042226542429471&amp;postID=1614788809052544182&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/1614788809052544182'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/1614788809052544182'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/2011/02/le-rivolte-dimenticate-nellafrica-sub.html' title='Le rivolte dimenticate nell&apos;Africa sub-sahariana Mondo africa'/><author><name>Okey.Chukbyke C.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01707879076116787313</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3Tng5Dz4Azw/SPJNComHKzI/AAAAAAAABmI/vVTON3NKyrU/S220/DSCF2455(1).JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4KhdCBpSCqk/TV-FBJKl2vI/AAAAAAAAFb0/GiYKXXerCk0/s72-c/3245660110_66851149eb.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096042226542429471.post-1736834740427516100</id><published>2011-02-15T14:11:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-02-15T14:11:31.696+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CULTURE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ITALY'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CHUKBYKE'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AFRICA'/><title type='text'>Fotografia: ritratti d'Africa in mostra a Firenze</title><content type='html'>&lt;div id="titolo"&gt;&lt;h2 title="Fotografia/ A Firenze la mostra 'Africa: See you, See me' - Agenzia di stampa TM NEWS"&gt;Fotografia/  A Firenze la mostra 'Africa: See you, See me'&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="abstract"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div id="abstract_left"&gt;Trentasei gli autori esposti, provenienti da 14  Paesi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="img"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="newsTot"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Opge4Cup_tE/TVp7PyTHOqI/AAAAAAAAFbw/6s2GuZlIJCw/s1600/C_3_TopNews_111780_foto.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Opge4Cup_tE/TVp7PyTHOqI/AAAAAAAAFbw/6s2GuZlIJCw/s320/C_3_TopNews_111780_foto.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Roma, 14 feb. (TMNews) -&lt;/strong&gt; Dopo Lisbona, la  mostra fotografica 'Africa: See you, See me' arriva in Italia, iniziando il suo  tour da Firenze, presso la fsmgallery (Via San Zanobi, 19r), il prossimo 17  febbraio. Sono 36 gli autori, provenienti da 14 paesi, scelti da Awam Amkpa e  Madala Hilaire, i curatori della mostra, per illustrare le influenze della  fotografia africana post-coloniale sul linguaggio visivo nella rappresentazione  dell'Africa e della sua diaspora. "'Africa: See You, See Me' racconta la storia  della fotografia africana e la sua influenza sull'immaginario non africano  dell'Africa, nonché la diaspora africana in tutte le sue diversità - afferma  Awam Amkpa, citata in un comunicato - insieme, le fotografie sono testi di  soggettività africane, archivi di storia e di società in via di sviluppo e  metodi per comprendere come le immagini contribuiscono all'emancipazione". La  mostra è organizzata in tre parti: la prima presenta ritratti in studio di  africani che cercano di inserirsi nel paesaggio urbano nel quale sono immigrati;  la seconda mostra i primi ritratti etnografici che suggerivano un'immagine  dell'Africa come luogo selvaggio popolato dai primitivi dell'Europa; la sezione  finale presenta fotografie contemporanee dell'Africa e del popolo africano fatte  da fotografi non africani. Prodotta dal Dipartimento di Studi Africani della New  York University la mostra è stata realizzata con la collaborazione di New York  University La Pietra Policy Dialogues e Fondazione Studio Marangoni.

Les participants estiment que le modèle électoral de l'Ouest ne correspond pas à la reproduction littérale en Afrique, le continent a ses héréditaires culturelles, et la conférence appelle les expertises migrantes à contribuer à la recherche d'un modèle approprié pour une application dans le continent et contribuer efficacement à la civilisation humaine. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;Cinquièmement: La nouvelle alternative humanitaire. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;Les présents ont entendu avec beaucoup d'intérêt à l’exposé approfondi de la nouvelle alternative humaines du système politiques prévaut représentants dans le Livre vert la Troisième Théorie universelle, et l'avis de ceux qui étaient présents que ce point de vue nécessite une étude et un enrichissement approfondi par le Congrès, et voient que ce qui a été mis à leur disposition de temps à cette conférence et qui a été suffisant pour la perception de son importance, mais il ne suffit pas d'approfondir la connaissance dans tous ses aspects, et ont appelé à la poursuite du dialogue dans ce sujet. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;Sixièmement: insultant de la discrimination raciale à l'encontre les religions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;Les participants ont discuté ce thème et ont écouté des participations importantes et ont conclu comme suit: - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;1. Les participants confirment la nécessité d'un respect mutuel des religions et leurs symboles, et la liberté de pratiquer les rites religieux suivant la manière à laquelle il croit. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;2. le public constate que l’insulte raciale des religions peut être due à l'ignorance ou peut-être dû au recrutement des religions politiques et les deux nécessitent un traitement approprié. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;3. Les participants confirment sur le risque de transmission des insultants raciales envers les religions du cadre individuel et privé au niveau des institutions et des États, et condamne la législation de l’insultant pour les religions de procéder à des référendums et des lois établies de cette insulte et légiférer à l'encontre de tous les principes et les conventions de la Constitution international, et appellent la Suisse et les pays qui ont poursuivi l'exemple d’abolir la législation qui interdit la construction de minarets et de permettre l'expulsion d'origine étrangère naturalisés s'ils commettent des infractions pénales, ce qui établit la discrimination raciale et d'inégalité entre les citoyens prescrits. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;Les participants voient aussi que l'insulte des religions donnerait lieu à des réactions et des répercussions graves sur le continent, et dans le monde et menace les entités sociales de la ligne de division et de fragmentation et de fission. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;Les participants condamnent également l'exploitation politique de la religion pour justifier l'ingérence dans les affaires intérieures des pays africains. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;Septièmement: la création de la Confédération mondiale des migrants africains &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;1. Les participants ont discuté et approuvé la création de la Confédération mondiale des migrants africains pour couvrir les migrants africains et être le cadre de leur travail dans le monde entier et sera basé à la ville de Tripoli en Libye et peut établir des succursales dans le monde entier si nécessaire. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;Les participants ont eu l'honneur de rencontrer le commandant de la Grande Révolution et d'écouter ses instructions, vu que ce qui est indiqué dans son discours est un programme d'action dans leurs plans et dans leurs programmes prochaines.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;En conclusion les participants ont remercié le chef de la Révolution le Roi des Rois d'Afrique, pour son égide de cette conférence historique, et l’accueillant du peuple libyen et la Grande Jamahiriya aux participants. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;Ils ont également décidé d'étendre la reconnaissance et l'appréciation au Forum générale du Forum des organisations de la société civile arabe et tous les organismes africaines pour les efforts et le succès de la Conférence et au Comité préparatoire internationale. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;La Conférence historique des migrants&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;17 Janvier 2011&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5096042226542429471-9162415505425739580?l=africansindiaspora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/feeds/9162415505425739580/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5096042226542429471&amp;postID=9162415505425739580&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/9162415505425739580'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/9162415505425739580'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/2011/02/resolutions-and-recommendations.html' title='The resolutions and recommendations resulted from the historical conference of African migrants   (English &amp; French Translations)'/><author><name>Okey.Chukbyke C.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01707879076116787313</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3Tng5Dz4Azw/SPJNComHKzI/AAAAAAAABmI/vVTON3NKyrU/S220/DSCF2455(1).JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3Tng5Dz4Azw/TUkDT9nZitI/AAAAAAAAFas/i04LxMAeHxM/s72-c/_DSC0377.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096042226542429471.post-7965932628316534928</id><published>2011-01-19T15:26:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-01-19T15:26:39.300+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DIASPORA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CHUKBYKE'/><title type='text'>IMMIGRATION: HISTORIC MEETING IN TRIPOLI ON AFRICA MIGRANTS</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="article-hd"&gt;&lt;h2 class="article-tit"&gt;IMMIGRATION: HISTORIC MEETING IN TRIPOLI ON AFRICA MIGRANTS           &lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div class="meta"&gt;14     January&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="tools-bar news-tools-bar"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3Tng5Dz4Azw/TTb0GU5xprI/AAAAAAAAFac/0CreqtCBpNE/s1600/_DSC0377.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="361" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3Tng5Dz4Azw/TTb0GU5xprI/AAAAAAAAFac/0CreqtCBpNE/s640/_DSC0377.JPG" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;(ANSAmed) - TRIPOLI, JANUARY 14 - A large group of parliamentarians, intellectuals, university professors, doctors, organisation figures and representatives of a number of professional sectors, all of African origin, are travelling from all around Europe to Tripoli for a conference beginning tomorrow.      The roughly 400 representatives of what has been called "the African diaspora" will be received by Colonel Muammar Gaddafi until January 17, as part of the first ever "historic conference on African migrants", to discuss ways of improving the living conditions of Africans living in Europe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3Tng5Dz4Azw/TTb0RG-QBDI/AAAAAAAAFag/vpnax9R3NpQ/s1600/_DSC0349.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="184" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3Tng5Dz4Azw/TTb0RG-QBDI/AAAAAAAAFag/vpnax9R3NpQ/s320/_DSC0349.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Tomorrow's conference will also be attended by a number of African immigrants residing in Italy, consisting of thirty people from sector organisations originating from Cameroon, Nigeria, Morocco, Egypt, Ghana, Benin, Senegal, Somalia and Eritrea. The guest of honour, the Italian Democratic Party deputy of Congolese origin, Jean-Leonard Touadi, is expected to arrive in Tripoli this evening. Touadi is scheduled to meet institutional figures from the Libyan Parliament, as well as a number of local officials, for "discussions on immigration and on dialogue between Libya and European countries, with particular attention to the issue of cooperation between Europe and African countries", organisers say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3Tng5Dz4Azw/TTb0YfqHjwI/AAAAAAAAFak/JH8P3yM5p2Y/s1600/_DSC0369.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="228" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3Tng5Dz4Azw/TTb0YfqHjwI/AAAAAAAAFak/JH8P3yM5p2Y/s400/_DSC0369.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The conference's packed schedule is aimed at setting up a legal organisation, the International Union of African Migrants, which will "systematically" monitor the situations of immigrants, with particular focus on the condition of women and emigrated children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One session will be dedicated to "rights and duties of the African immigrant", while another will target "alternatives to illegal immigration".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="goog_516237433"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="goog_516237434"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3Tng5Dz4Azw/TTb0hMx-yPI/AAAAAAAAFao/jd7KNAWgelw/s1600/CSC_0599.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="233" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3Tng5Dz4Azw/TTb0hMx-yPI/AAAAAAAAFao/jd7KNAWgelw/s320/CSC_0599.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;As part of the conference, a meeting is scheduled at the Islam Call Society on "racism and religions", which is to be attended by Egyptian Coptic authorities. The main aim of the meeting, explains Alfa-Niaky Barry, chair of the International Forum for friends of the Europe-Africa partnership, is to "unite compatriots from the African diaspora around a table, and attempt to talk with a single voice about needs, rights, wellbeing and prosperity".

Si tratta di una manifestazione biennale, incentrata sull'esaltazione delle comuni radici culturali dei popoli dell'Africa sub sahariana.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;  Il festival costuisce un'importante occasione per celebrare, con riti tradizionali e manifestazioni artistiche, il rimpatrio di membri della comunita' nazionale emigrati all'estero, soprattutto in Europa e nelle Americhe. Da non sottovalutare l'aspetto piu' propriamente 'turistico' del festival, dato che si svolge nel periodo di massimo afflusso di visitatori internazionali in questo Paese dell'Africa occidentale. Il ministro del Turismo, signora Aja Fatou Mass Jobe-Njie, ha detto in conferenza stampa che 'il calendario della manifestazione, che occupa un posto di primo piano nel panorama dei festival dedicati alla cultura del continente, anche quest'anno avra' il suo clou nella cerimonia del Futampaf, il rito di iniziazione tribale, che si svolge a Kanilai', il villaggio meridionale in cui e' nato l'attuale presidente del Gambia, Yahia Jammeh.

He said: “The last thing we heard the man say was he couldn't breathe.”&lt;br /&gt;So far, four passengers have come forward to say that during the flight, they saw the 46-year-old father of five being heavily restrained under the seats by security officers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scotland Yard have taken over the investigation into Mr Mubenga's death. A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "Officers from the homicide and serious crime command are investigating the death."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During a Home Affairs select committee, Liberal Democrat MP Julian Huppert called for a 'wide ranging and independent inquiry' into the country's deportation system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Labour Chair Keith Vaz said: "The use of excessive force in deportations is dangerous and unacceptable. If, as eyewitness reports suggest, Mr Mubenga was complaining of breathing difficulties, questions must be asked as to why help was not called for sooner.&lt;br /&gt;"I will be writing to both the home secretary and G4S on this matter whilst awaiting the outcome of police investigations. When removing people from the UK, human rights must be fully respected at all times." Concluded Mr Vaz.&lt;br /&gt;Mr Mubenga's death echoes that of Jamaican immigrant Joy Gardner, who died in 1993 when police and immigration officers attempted to arrest and deport her, following the expiration of her six-month visa. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thirteen feet of tape was wrapped around Ms Gardner's head and a body belt was used as a restraint. Ms Gardner fell in to a coma and was pronounced dead in hospital.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three police officers were tried and cleared of causing her death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Institute of Race Relations' report into the lives of asylum seekers says that racist asylum and immigration policies in the UK have led to the deaths of 77 asylum seekers and migrants over the past four years, including that of Mr Mubenga.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Driven to Desperate Measures found that seven are said to have died in prison custody; more than a third of the deaths are people suspected or known to have taken their own lives after their asylum claims had been turned down; seven are said to have died after being denied health care for "preventable medical problems" and 15 are said to have died during desperate and "highly risky" attempts to enter the country.&lt;br /&gt;By Davina Kirwan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;15/10/2010stampainvia &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gran Bretagna, immigrato muore ammanettato al sedile dell'aereo durante il rimpatrio &lt;br /&gt;Jimmy Mubenga si lamentava perché non riusciva a respirare, ma le guardie di sicurezza private che lo stavano scortando in Angola non gli avrebbero creduto&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Non respiro, non respiro", ma le guardie private non gli credono. Jimmy Mubenga, 58 anni, è morto ammanettato al sedile dell'aeroplano che lo stava riportato in Angola.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WpBVPss51wg/TMBFr6KJt6I/AAAAAAAAPdQ/6hQpNCHHxPQ/s1600/37742.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="120" nx="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WpBVPss51wg/TMBFr6KJt6I/AAAAAAAAPdQ/6hQpNCHHxPQ/s200/37742.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Immigrato irregolare, l'uomo era scortato da tre guardie private. "Due erano sedute ai lati, mentre una terza aveva il posto davanti al suo", racconta Kevin Wallis, ingegnere che si trovava seduto vicino a Mubenga. "Continuava a dire che non riusciva a respirare, ma le guardie, dopo le mie proteste, mi hanno detto che sarebbe stato bene una volta in volo".&lt;br /&gt;Invece l'aereo della British Airways, in partenza da Heathrow martedì sera, non è mai decollato. Mubenga è stato trasportato in ambulanza verso l'ospedale, ma i medici non hanno potuto fare altro che constatarne la morte. Ora la polizia ha aperto un'indagine per capire cosa sia andato storto e se le guardie abbiano avuto un ruolo nella morte. "Lo tenevano giù con forza, troppa forza, anche se lui si lamentava", denuncia Wallis. Nel 2006 Mubenga era stato condannato a due anni di reclusione per lesioni personali dopo una rissa in un nightclub.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;﻿&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5096042226542429471-6262045007589743360?l=africansindiaspora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/feeds/6262045007589743360/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5096042226542429471&amp;postID=6262045007589743360&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/6262045007589743360'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/6262045007589743360'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/2010/10/angolan-dies-during-deportation.html' title='ANGOLAN DIES  DURING  DEPORTATION.....'/><author><name>Okey.Chukbyke C.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01707879076116787313</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3Tng5Dz4Azw/SPJNComHKzI/AAAAAAAABmI/vVTON3NKyrU/S220/DSCF2455(1).JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WpBVPss51wg/TMBFr6KJt6I/AAAAAAAAPdQ/6hQpNCHHxPQ/s72-c/37742.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096042226542429471.post-1745966158987865966</id><published>2010-10-19T23:11:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-19T23:11:33.714+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ITALY'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CHUKBYKE'/><title type='text'>ANNIVERSARIO INDEPENDENZA   DEI PAESI  AFRICANI</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Sabato 25 all’Affratellamento</title><content type='html'>Carolina Mancini per l’Altracittà&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mwana Africa: figli dell’Africa in Ki Swahili&lt;/strong&gt; (una lingua parlata in tutta l’Africa orientale, nata all’epoca della tratta degli schiavi dalla mescolanza fra l’arabo e le lingue locali). È questo il nome di una nuova associazione che si presenterà alla cittadinanza il prossimo sabato 25 settembre presso il Teatro dell’Affratellamento in via Gian Paolo Orsini 73 a Firenze, con una serie di interventi che culmineranno in un pranzo a base di pietanze africane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;«Siamo circa un’ottantina di persone, in prevalenza immigrati, anche se non tutti africani, e ci sono anche una decina di italiani». Così ci spiega Kassambwe-Kassamba, il presidente di Mwana Africa. «Ci sono molti progetti che intendiamo portare avanti. Alcuni già in piedi, come la Rete Panafricana del Contenzioso, un insieme di avvocati italiani e giuristi africani che hanno studiato in Europa, e che svolgono un lavoro di consulenza e supporto, per esempio nei confronti degli immigrati che sono in carcere o che hanno un procedimento in corso».&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mwana Africa si rivolge principalmente alle persone non abbienti di qualsiasi nazionalità, occupandosi di questioni relative ai bambini non accompagnati, alle donne lavoratrici, alle famiglie monogamiche, fornendo assistenza agli immigrati nel corso degli iter burocratici relativi alle varie pratiche e nei rapporti con le istituzioni. Da quasi un anno “i figli dell’Africa” si ritrovano ogni seconda domenica del mese, di solito presso l’Osteria del Leone a Sant’Ilario (Lastra a Signa) per discutere e confrontarsi, cercando di svolgere una funzione di coordinamento con le altre associazioni e di cerniera fra queste, i singoli cittadini e le istituzioni.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Per ora Mwana Africa non ha fonti di finanziamento, se non «le cene africane che ogni tanto organizziamo al Circolo di Sant’Ilario – continua Kassambwe. Lo scopo della giornata di sabato è anche quello di trovarne alcuni, e comunque di allargare la nostra rete. Ci piacerebbe che altri tecnici aderissero, per portare avanti questo lavoro di consulenza anche in altri campi: medici, architetti, costruttori, artisti. Noi ci consideriamo anche una sorta di ‘scuola’ di educazione alla responsabilità e al senso delle istituzioni: per questo lo scambio con questi specialisti sarebbe un’importante ricchezza da condividere fra i nostri soci. Faccio un esempio banale: se un africano volesse circoncidere il figlio, potremmo promuovere un dibattito in cui la questione viene affrontata dal punto di vista legale, con un avvocato che spiega cosa dice la legge a questo proposito, dal punto di vista medico, affrontando le questioni igienico-sanitarie, e così via. La nostra aspirazione è quella di ‘esportare’ i risultati che questa rete produrrà (le competenze, la conoscenza, la cultura) anche fuori dall’Italia, nei paesi di provenienza degli immigrati, perché è chiaro che se le persone stessero bene a casa propria non la lascerebbero, e verrebbero in Italia solo come i nostri ‘cugini americani’, per ammirare le opere di Michelangelo. Ma per arrivare a questo è necessario partire dal nostro territorio e dalle sue risorse».&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La giornata di sabato 25&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si inizia alle 9.00 con l’intervento dello stesso Kassambwe-Kassamba, che presenterà l’associazione.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All’intervento di Kassambwe seguirà quello dell’assessore regionale al Welfare e alle politiche per la casa Salvatore Allocca che parlerà di “Integrazione partecipe e tutela dei cittadini stranieri”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L’avvocato Giovanni Flora, presidente della Camera Penale, si occuperà invece di “difesa dell’immigrato e difficoltà nel corso del processo.”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il punto di vista degli immigrati sull’integrazione sarà affidato a Olumba Napoleon, portavoce della comunità nigeriana di Siena.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Di “Sicurezza e legalità” parlerà la Dottoressa Daniela Lucchi, dirigente della prefettura per l’Area IV – Diritti Civili, Cittadinanza, Condizione Giuridica dello Straniero, Immigrazione e Diritto d’Asilo -, mentre Andrea Amaro, della CGIE (Consiglio Generale degli Italiani all’Estero) affronterà il tema: “Immigrati nella società post industriale: una risorsa o un problema?”).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al pranzo finale si potranno gustare prelibatezze della Costa D’Avorio, del Congo, del Senegal e del Maghreb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Per altre informazioni: 339.6913675&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.altracitta.org/2010/09/23/i-figli-dellafrica-si-presentano-alla-citta-sabato-25-allaffratellamento/"&gt;http://www.altracitta.org/2010/09/23/i-figli-dellafrica-si-presentano-alla-citta-sabato-25-allaffratellamento/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5096042226542429471-985204412500984121?l=africansindiaspora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/feeds/985204412500984121/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5096042226542429471&amp;postID=985204412500984121&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/985204412500984121'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/985204412500984121'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/2010/09/i-figli-dellafrica-si-presentano-alla.html' title='I “figli dell’Africa” si presentano alla città.

Lo rende noto la Farnesina. Il foro ''5+5'', che riunisce i Paesi del Mediterraneo Occidentale - per la sponda Nord Francia, Italia, Malta, Portogallo e Spagna; per la sponda Sud, Algeria, Libia, Marocco, Mauritania e Tunisia - costituisce, rileva la Farnesina, un'importante dimensione della cooperazione euro-mediterranea ed un'utile sede per la discussione delle principali tematiche d'area. L'Italia detiene la co-presidenza del Dialogo 5+5 per la sponda Nord (co-presidente per la sponda Sud e' la Tunisia).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AVVENIRE, SHOW CHE DIVENTA BOOMERANG - Un' ''incresciosa messa in scena'' firmata dal colonnello Gheddafi o ''forse solo un boomerang'', ''certamente e' stata una lezione, magari pure per i suonatori professionisti di allarmi sulla laicita' insidiata''. Il quotidiano dei vescovi, Avvenire, in un editoriale firmato dal direttore Marco Tarquinio tira le somme della visita del leader libico a Roma, tra affari e provocazioni.&lt;br /&gt;''Incontrarsi serve comunque e sempre'', premette Tarquinio lodando la ''nuova stagione'' e la ''riconciliazione'' tra Roma e Tripoli. Pero' - sottolinea il giornale della Cei - non si possono sottacere ''aspetti sostanziali e circostanze volutamente folkloristiche'' della visita cosi' come ''momenti incresciosi e urtanti'' quali l'incontro per ''una sessione di propaganda islamica (a sfondo addirittura europeo) tra il leader libico e hostess appositamente reclutate''.&lt;br /&gt;Avvenire si chiede quindi come Gheddafi - nella ''tollerante e pluralista Italia'' dalle ''profonde e vive radici cristiane'' e al tempo stesso capace di ''una positiva laicita''' - abbia potuto ''fare deliberato spettacolo di proselitismo (anche grazie a un Tg pubblico incredibilmente servizievole...). Non sapremmo dire in quanti altri paesi tutto questo avrebbe avuto luogo o, in ogni caso,avrebbe avuto spropositata (e stolida) eco''.&lt;br /&gt;''Probabilmente e' stato un boomerang - conclude l'editoriale -una dimostrazione di quanto possano confondersi persino in certo islam giudicato non (piu') estremista piano politico e piano religioso''.&lt;br /&gt;5 MILIARDI ALL'ANNO DALL'UE CONTRO I CLANDESTINI - Il presidente del Consiglio Silvio Berlusconi esalta l'amicizia tra Italia e Libia durante la cerimonia per il secondo anniversario del Trattato di Bengasi e afferma che ''tutti dovrebbero rallegrarsene'' e chi critica ''e' prigioniero di schemi superati''.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gheddafi: ''Saluto il grande coraggio del mio grande amico''. La giornata di ieri, segnata dalla richiesta di 5 miliardi all'anno per fermare l'immigrazione clandestina in Europa e da nuove polemiche sulla visita del leader libico, si e' conclusa con una cena di gala.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gheddafi ha lasciato la tavola verso le due, mentre il premier italiano e' rimasto a festeggiare l'evento con gli 800 invitati e diversi ministri. Sulla Padania titolo a tutta pagina: ''L'Europa sia cristiana''.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TERZO SHOW, SOLDI CONTRO CLANDESTINI O UE NERA &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Terzo show in due giorni del leader libico Muhammar Gheddafi che si spinge fino a chiedere 5 miliardi di euro all'Unione europea per contrastare una ''pericolosa'' immigrazione che puo' far diventare ''nera'' l'Europa. E' stato un intervento fiume di oltre quaranta minuti quello del colonnello, tutto incentrato sulla pagina del colonialismo e su inquietanti scenari disegnati dall'avanzata dell'immigrazione africana. Un lunghissimo discorso pronunciato di fronte al premier e a una folta delegazione del governo presso la caserma 'Salvo D'Acquisto', teatro delle celebrazioni per il secondo anniversario del Trattato di Amicizia italo-libico. Non appena presa la parola, Gheddafi ha subito fatto presente ''i drammi e le sofferenze'' subite dal popolo libico a causa dell'invasione italiana, drammi rtuttora presenti tra la popolazione del Paese. Anche Berlusconi, ha raccontato il Colonnello, si e' oggi commosso ''al punto di piangere'' alla visione delle fotografie ''ufficiali'' esposte nella mostra inaugurata oggi pomeriggio dai due leader e che documentano la dolorosa pagina del colonialismo italiano. Era un'altra Italia, ha aggiunto Gheddafi. Oggi c'e' il Trattato di amicizia e nuove sfide da affrontare insieme, prima fra tutte, quella della ''pericolosa'' immigrazione africana che spetta alla Libia, ''ponte'' privilegiato tra l'Africa e l'Europa, contrastare con l'aiuto economico dell'Unione europea. Cinque miliardi di euro e' la cifra richiesta da Gheddafi per impedire che ''l'Europa - cosi' ha prospettato il colonnello - un domani potrebbe non essere piu' europea e diventare addirittura nera perche' - ha spiegato - in milioni vogliono venire in Europa''. ''Attualmente - ha affermato dipingendo uno scenario fosco - subiamo una immigrazione dall'Africa verso l'Europa ma in questo momento si tratta di una cosa molto pericolosa: non sappiamo che cosa succedera', quale sara' la reazione degli europei bianchi e cristiani di fronte a questo movimento di africani affamati e non istruiti''. ''Non sappiamo - ha insistito Gheddafi - se l'Europa restera' un continente avanzato e coeso o se si distruggera' come avvenne con le invasioni barbariche''. ''Dobbiamo immaginare che questo possa succedere - ha sottolineato a sostegno del proposta da lui stesso avanzata - e prima che succeda dobbiamo lavorare insieme, fermare l'immigrazione sulle frontiere libiche''. ''L'Europa - ha scandito - ci deve ascoltare'' mentre tocca all'Italia sostenere in sede europea la richiesta di Gheddafi di fare della Libia l'avamposto chiave nel contrasto all'immigrazione clandestina. Berlusconi da parte sua ha ricordato come con la stipulazione del Trattato di amicizia fra i due Paesi si sia ''voltato pagina'' e chiuso per sempre la pagina nera del colonialismo. Gheddafi lo ha piu' volte lodato menzionando il ''grande coraggio'' del presidente del Consiglio per le scuse presentate dal premier per il passato coloniale italiano in Libia, ''un errore - ha sottolineato il Colonnello - commesso dall'Italia fascista, non dall'Italia''. Da qui anche la richiesta avanzata alla comunita' internazionale affinche' sia l'Italia ad avere un seggio al consiglio permanente di sicurezza dell'Onu. Un ''diritto'' dell'Italia, secondo Gheddafi, che ha avuto, al contrario della Germania, la forza e il coraggio di liberarsi da sola del fascismo ''impiccando Mussolini per le strade''. Nell'Italia di oggi poi, il leader libico, ha incoraggiato ad investire i suoi stessi connazionali che dispongono di risorse economiche e finanziarie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;APPELLO LEADER, INVESTITE IN ITALIA - Un nuovo flusso di investimenti libici potrebbe presto arrivare in Italia a rafforzare la crescente presenza nelle nostre banche, societa' e industrie in combinazione con la corsa delle imprese italiane a realizzare le infrastrutture del paese nordafricano. Il leader Muammar Gheddafi, alla cerimonia per il Trattato italo-libico, dove e' presente una nutrita schiera di personalita' dell'economia e della finanza italiana, incoraggia i libici con risorse finanziarie ''a venire in Italia per investire in Italia''. Il Colonnello chiede anche scambi di conoscenza e tecnologie ma sono le parole sugli investimenti, poche ma precise in un discorso fiume di 40 minuti ricco di citazioni storiche e incentrato sulle colpe del colonialismo e le nuove sfide dell'emigrazione, a creare piu' interesse fra la comunita' finanziaria. Diversi esponenti del mondo dell'economia e manager, prima di recarsi alla cena ufficiale (slittata a oltre la mezzanotte) sottolineano ''l'affidabilita' oramai assodata' dei libici come partner e un ambiente molto migliorato per realizzare gli affari. ''I libici - spiega uno di questi -. sono un partner che guarda al medio-lungo termine con molte risorse''. Nella tribuna d'onore a pochi passi dal premier Silvio Berlusconi e dal leader libico ad assistere al carosello dei Carabinieri e alle evoluzioni dei cavalieri arabi, si sono notate le presenze dell'ad di Unicredit Alessandro Profumo (dove i libici sono oramai il primo socio con il 7% del capitale) accanto a Jonella Ligresti, al presidente Telecom Gabriele Galateri, ai vertici Enel Piero Gnudi e Fulvio Conti il quale ha spiegato che il gruppo ''ha interessi potenziali in Libia'' anche se al momento non c'e' nulla. Presente anche Massimo Ponzellini, presidente di Impregilo che realizzera' insieme ad altre 20 imprese italiane (fra cui Todini, Salini, Condotte e Cmc) l'autostrada finanziata dall'Italia a risarcimento dei danni del'epoca coloniale, e il numero uno di Finmeccanica Pierfrancesco Giarguaglini, anch'essa impegnata nel paese insieme a Zarubezhstroytechnology, societa' controllata dalle Ferrovie Russe Jsc Rzd, un contratto da 247 milioni di euro per realizzare sistemi di segnalamento, alimentazione e comunicazione sulla tratta da Sirte a Bengasi. Con Finmeccanica inoltre i libici hanno siglato una nuova joint venture (dopo la Liatec, Libyan Italian Advanced Tecnology Company, costituita nel 2006 per realizzare elicotteri). Non c'era alla cerimonia invece l'ad di Eni Paolo Scaroni ma il suo numero due Claudio Descalzi. Il rapporto fra il gruppo e il paese e' piu' che consolidato e di recente il colosso italiano ha annunciato investimenti sul posto per 25 miliardi di euro &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://temporeale.libero.it/libero/fdg/4026733.html"&gt;http://temporeale.libero.it/libero/fdg/4026733.html&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5096042226542429471-4842479306137810344?l=africansindiaspora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/feeds/4842479306137810344/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5096042226542429471&amp;postID=4842479306137810344&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/4842479306137810344'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/4842479306137810344'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/2010/08/gheddafi-roma-avvenire-show-che-diventa.html' title='Gheddafi a Roma: Avvenire, show che diventa boomerang'/><author><name>Okey.Chukbyke C.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01707879076116787313</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3Tng5Dz4Azw/SPJNComHKzI/AAAAAAAABmI/vVTON3NKyrU/S220/DSCF2455(1).JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3Tng5Dz4Azw/TH0H0aOf3bI/AAAAAAAAFGg/_BO8pB2pDcA/s72-c/0100830183048472_20100830.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096042226542429471.post-4990989838726476387</id><published>2010-08-31T08:11:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-08-31T08:11:34.679+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Morire nel deserto: così come prevede l'accordo tra Berlusconi e Gheddafi.</title><content type='html'>&lt;object style="background-image: url(http://i3.ytimg.com/vi/f72vUvshaC0/hqdefault.jpg);" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/f72vUvshaC0?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=it_IT"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/f72vUvshaC0?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=it_IT" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5096042226542429471-4990989838726476387?l=africansindiaspora.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/feeds/4990989838726476387/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5096042226542429471&amp;postID=4990989838726476387&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/4990989838726476387'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5096042226542429471/posts/default/4990989838726476387'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://africansindiaspora.blogspot.com/2010/08/morire-nel-deserto-cosi-come-prevede.html' title='Morire nel deserto: così come prevede l&apos;accordo tra Berlusconi e Gheddafi.'/><author><name>DIASPORA AFRICANA</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='30' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1tPPOAZ1KPI/SM0NG8wR1-I/AAAAAAAABZ8/bUiBdZYLVAk/S220/images.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096042226542429471.post-2308634408052448864</id><published>2010-08-30T00:46:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2010-08-30T00:48:15.313+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='.ITALIA.VATICAN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='UN'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AFRICA'/><title type='text'>Italia-Libia/ Unhcr: in attesa chiarimenti su missione a Tripoli</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3&gt;Italia-Libia/ Unhcr: in attesa chiarimenti su missione a Tripoli&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.tendenzeonline.info/images/news/20100829_170124_02B83D2C.jpg" /&gt;     Roma, 29 ago. (Apcom) - Mentre Muammar Gheddafi è sbarcato a Roma per una visita ricca di folclore, affari e politica, l'Alto commissariato Onu per i rifugiati auspica che si possa presto giungere a una definizione della sua missione a Tripoli, attualmente in attesa di chiarimenti. "Il nostro auspicio" commenta Laura Boldrini, portavoce in Italia dell'Unhcr, "è che alla fine del Ramadan si possa concludere la trattativa e firmare un vero e proprio 'accordo di sede' per la nostra presenza in Libia". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;L'Unhcr lavora in Libia da 19 anni ma il suo ufficio è stato chiuso a inizio giugno proprio per l'assenza di un 'accordo di sede', e riaperto, a fine giugno, con forti limitazioni; al personale è stato chiesto di occuparsi solo dei casi di richiesta d'asilo già avviate, senza aprire nuove pratiche. Tuttavia, ricorda Boldrini, in vari Paesi e su richiesta del governo locale l'Unhcr opera anche senza accordo di sede, come avvenne in Siria dopo l'arrivo massiccio dei rifugiati iracheni. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;La presenza dell'Alto commissariato in Libia è divenuta cruciale per i richiedenti asilo dopo l'accordo fra Tripoli e Roma che sancisce il controllo dei flussi migratori da parte libica, e dopo l'avvio da parte italiana della politica dei 'respingimenti in mare' per i barconi che giungono dalle coste libiche. La strategia, come ricorda spesso il ministro dell'Interno Roberto Maroni, ha portato a un crollo verticale degli sbarchi di immigrati sulle coste italiane, ma anche delle domande di asilo. Boldrini ricorda infatti che "prima della politica dei respingimenti, il 75% di coloro che arrivavano in Italia partendo dalle coste libiche faceva richiesta di asilo nel nostro Paese, che al 50% di queste persone riconosceva una forma di protezione". In prevalenza si trattava di africani: somali, eritrei, sudanesi, nigeriani. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Prima della chiusura del 2 giugno, "operavamo con dei limiti perché non ci era consentito l'accesso in tutti i centri di detenzione, e perché non c'è una legge sull'asilo in Libia, ma eravamo un riferimento per chi giungeva bisognoso di protezione", ricorda Boldrini. Dopo la riapertura a fine giugno, "fisicamente siamo in ufficio ma solo per occuparci dei vecchi casi. E' una riapertura parziale che deve essere finalizzata, e siamo in attesa per capire che raggio d'azione potremo avere".
