Come spesso accade in molte rivoluzioni parziali ("a metà" o anche meno...) , quando i resistenti non vengono semplicemente eliminati, rischiano comunque di ritrovarsi abbandonati, esclusi...è capitato a molti nostri partigiani nel dopoguerra, capiterà ancora... ... read full story / add a comment

Mike Marqusee has just returned from a visit with trade unionists and democracy activists in Swaziland. This article will appear in The Hindu Sunday Magazine on 29 August.
Swaziland is a small country with a big problem. The 1.3 million inhabitants of the land-locked southern African kingdom live under the thumb of one of the world’s last absolute monarchies, a venal and repressive regime whose plunder of the country is systematic and comprehensive. ... read full story / add a comment
África austral / luchas indígenas / other libertarian press Tuesday May 11, 2010 - 16:21 by Richard Pithouse
Sin embargo, en septiembre de 2009, algunos líderes fueron atacados en el asentamiento Kennedy Road por una turba armada que coreaba lemas étnicos. La policía se negó a ayudar al AbM y solo se hizo presente para desarmar la resistencia espontánea a la turba. Gente murió durante el intento de montar una defensa contra la muchedumbre, y las casas de más de treinta líderes del AbM fueron destruidas y saqueadas después de que los dirigentes locales del partido en el poder tomaran control del asentamiento. Los dirigentes partidistas, tanto en la ciudad como en la provincia, atacaron al movimiento en un lenguaje extremadamente fuerte en los días posteriores al ataque, condenándolo por haber exigido al gobierno que declarase la Ley de Asentamientos Precarios inconstitucional y acusando al movimiento de oponerse al desarrollo. Se les dijo a oficiales de la policía y del estado así como a periodistas que las ONG extranjeras estaban financiando al movimiento con el fin de detener el desarrollo, para que, de esa manera, los africanos continuaran siendo pobres y mantuvieran su acceso al financiamiento.

אותה שאלה בגרסאות שונות: "מדוע אפריקה מחכה עד שיהיה מאוחר מדי?" בעיני רוב המערביים אפריקה היא רעב, מלחמה, עריצות, איידס ועוני - מלאה בקרבנות חסרי ישע לחלוטין או כאלו הבוחרים לשבת בחיבוק ידיים כל עוד אינם מקבלים סיוע צדקה מהמערב. אך יש פן אחר של אפריקה, הפן החזק יותר. הפן הזה כולל ארגונים ופעילים חברתיים ופוליטיים, ארגוני מורים, עיתונאים, מומחים לבריאות כמו גם ארגוני נשים, ארגוני פועלים וארגוני נוער אשר בהדרגה ממוססים את בעיותיה של אפריקה, על פי רוב ללא מימון, סיקור תקשורתי או הכרה לאומית ובין-לאומית. האנשים האלו פועלים כנגד כל הסיכויים כדי למנוע רעב, מלחמה, הפרת זכויות אדם, התפשטות האיידס ושלל נושאים דחופים אחרים באפריקה. כאשר מתרחשת טרגדיה הם עובדים קשה כדי לצמצם את השפעתה. אך כשהם לא ניצבים בפני רדיפה פוליטית הם מחוסרי מימון וללא ההגנה הנובעת מסיקור תקשורתי. הם בלתי נראים ובלתי נתמכים אך הם עמודי התווך הבלתי מוכרים של אפריקה. ... read full story / add a comment

On Wednesday, in an attack that would have made Robert Mugabe proud, Johannesburg Mayor, Amos Masondo launched an unprecedented and vicious attack on the recent High Court ruling that found pre-paid meters to be unconstitutional and ordered the City of Johannesburg’s to change its water service policies. The judgement was handed down by Judge M.P. Tsoka on 30th April. Masondo’s arrogant and completely misdirected utterances are unwarranted and dangerous and must be condemned with the contempt they deserve. ... read full story / add a comment

The Swaziland Coalition of Concerned Civic Organization (SCCCO), a Coalition of Swaziland’s broad Civil Society organizations and NGO’s, wishes to add its voice to those who have rightly condemned the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission’s (ZEC) withholding or refusal to release the Presidential Election Results of 29 March, 2008 without just cause. We see this action as one designed to provoke frustration and anger of the gallant people of Zimbabwe to a point where, in desperation, they take the law into their hands in a manner similar to the recent crisis in Kenya wherein the election victory by the opposition was stolen by the outgoing government of President Kibaki.
