It's a productivity tool that work the other way round, in the sense that the diary-based information helps you track your activities and achievements on a daily basis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dropbox.com/about" target="_blank"&gt;DropBox&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;created a way to easily share and store files all over the web. Of all the cloud-based files storages services, this one is by far my favorite. Did I mention, it's free? yeah, it's free and it is a big plus for me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hoteltonight.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Hotel Tonight&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; helps you make a last-minute hotel reservation from your mobile device (iOS and Android are both supported) at a discounted price.

was already prophetic about Italy's debt crisis and the Eurozone doom prospects.&amp;nbsp;The very same year Roubini’s speech at Davos-World Economic Forum was warning that Italy may experience Debt Crisis and EuroZone Break-Up in 5 years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;He recently&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.economonitor.com/nouriel/2011/11/08/from-the-archives-jan-28-06-italy%E2%80%99s-tremonti%E2%80%99s-temper-tantrums-on-emu-in-davos%E2%80%A6a-sad-embarrassing-episode-for-italy%E2%80%A6/" style="color: #1d637d;

It's a great uptick (more than 60%) since the beginning of the last decade, but major improvements remain to be done to enlarge further this group and include more the too many people that remain standing at the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom_of_the_pyramid"&gt;&lt;i&gt;bottom of the pyramid&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Expanding from the data of the African Development Group, the Wall Street Journal contends that &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB100014240527a48703703304576296663397991894.html?mod=WSJ_0_0_WZ_0_0335_RIGHTTopCarousel_1"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;A New Class of Consumers Grows in Africa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Sustained economic growth in Africa has produced for the first time a broad middle class, one that cuts across the continent and is on par with the size of the middle classes in the billion-person emerging markets of China and India. The rise of a middle class in the world's poorest continent is a dramatic marker for the global economy. At a time when the U.S., Europe and Japan are struggling to grow, Africa is beginning to beckon as a consumer of what other nations produce, thanks in part to a young population more upwardly mobile than ever before.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;If we look closely at the numbers presented, middle class is defined by people living with a revenue ranging from $2 to $20 per day. With the exchange rate, that makes a disposable income ranging from XAF &amp;nbsp;(CFA Francs) 1,000 to XAF 10,000 per day that equate to a monthly income of XAF 30,000-300, 000. It's relatively little, but it's enough to generate demand for laptops, cars, brand new smartphones, private schools etc... Therefore one can observe an afflux to &lt;a href="http://www.forbes.com/2008/07/05/economies-stocks-investment-pf-summit08-cx_jhc_0707africa.html"&gt;&lt;i&gt;the last frontier&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of &amp;nbsp;multinationals telecoms and retailers alike. These companies have diverse market entries strategies, ranging from direct presence like Vodaphone or Yum Brands (KFC), Microsoft or Google or through buying stakes in local companies like Wal-mart. Another upside of this new trend is the impact this new demand has on growth in return.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;These new consumers are credited with cushioning Africa from the recent global economic crisis. The International Monetary Fund projects that sub-Saharan Africa, a collection of 47 countries, will grow 5.5% this year and 6% in 2012&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;But the picture is not so rosy, forasmuch as the vast majority of Africans do not have access to these goods and poverty remains prevalent. Disparities also persist : not all countries could be properly documented (Equatorial Guinea is a notable exception amongst others), consumption habits are not the same in Kampala or in Timbuktu, in subsaharan Africa for example, only Gabon has more than 60% of its population belonging to the middle-class cushion, compared to the average 34% for the rest of the continent.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;About 100,000 of the richest Africans had a collective net worth totaling 60% of the continent's gross domestic product, according to the report, citing 2008 figures&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Unfortunately the last frontier still carries some risks that are the corollary of big benefits than could be reaped from this relatively untapped market. "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;A series of violent elections in some of the continent's biggest markets, for instance, threatens to reverse nascent economic gains for millions of Africans.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;To mitigate the possible adverse impacts at the very moment when we can see the light at the end of the tunnel, every government across the continent must address aggressively these issues by crafting policies that re-assure citizens and foreign investors alike, that create transparency and open markets even further, that nurture a climate of confidence for business. That is both an absolute necessity and an imperative.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;Last, to sustain the trend and not have it subsume in yet another step backward, this new "wealth" needs to be spread even more uniformly. Let us all aspire and strive to make it happen for the greater good of the vast majority.

noise and haste,&lt;br /&gt;and remember what peace there may be in silence.&lt;br /&gt;As far as possible without surrender&lt;br /&gt;be on good terms with all persons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speak your truth quietly and clearly;&lt;br /&gt;and listen to others,&lt;br /&gt;even the dull and the ignorant;&lt;br /&gt;they too have their story. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Avoid loud and aggressive persons,&lt;br /&gt;they are vexations to the spirit.&lt;br /&gt;If you compare yourself with others,&lt;br /&gt;you may become vain and bitter;&lt;br /&gt;for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. &lt;br /&gt;Keep interested in your own career, however humble;&lt;br /&gt;it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.&lt;br /&gt;Exercise caution in your business affairs;&lt;br /&gt;for the world is full of trickery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;&lt;br /&gt;many persons strive for high ideals;&lt;br /&gt;and everywhere life is full of heroism. &lt;br /&gt;Be yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Especially, do not feign affection.&lt;br /&gt;Neither be cynical about love;&lt;br /&gt;for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment&lt;br /&gt;it is as perennial as the grass. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take kindly the counsel of the years,&lt;br /&gt;gracefully surrendering the things of youth.&lt;br /&gt;Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.&lt;br /&gt;But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.&lt;br /&gt;Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beyond a wholesome discipline,&lt;br /&gt;be gentle with yourself. &lt;br /&gt;You are a child of the universe,&lt;br /&gt;no less than the trees and the stars;&lt;br /&gt;you have a right to be here.&lt;br /&gt;And whether or not it is clear to you,&lt;br /&gt;no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore be at peace with God,&lt;br /&gt;whatever you conceive Him to be,&lt;br /&gt;and whatever your labors and aspirations,&lt;br /&gt;in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,&lt;br /&gt;it is still a beautiful world.&lt;br /&gt;Be cheerful.&lt;br /&gt;Strive to be happy.

They represent just a tiny proportion of the skilled Africans of all trades and professions who leave the continent. According to the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, about 27,000 Africans left for industrialised countries between 1960 and 1975. Now, an equivalent number leaves the continent every year."

But the brain drain is not necessarily bad for African countries.

To be a young, single woman looking to settle down today is to be in the Wild West of dating history. Daters are ravenous for advice to order the chaos, even if it comes from a book, like "Marry Him," that berates them or, like "Committed," claims that marriage is a terrible institution for women (though the author gets hitched by her memoir's end).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;ul style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Jonathan Goodluck : un leader accidentel pour le Nigeria&lt;/b&gt; (&lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/20/world/africa/20nigeria.html"&gt;New York Times&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;blockquote style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The circumstances of Acting President Goodluck Jonathan’s accession to power are so odd that even he looks bewildered as he takes a self-effacing bow in this boiling, fractious nation.

Does it mean that there is no suitable african leader that can be deserved the &lt;a href="http://sanaga.blogspot.com/2006/10/un-prix-de-5-millions-pour-le-meilleur.html"&gt;Mo Ibrahim leadership priz&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://sanaga.blogspot.com/2006/10/un-prix-de-5-millions-pour-le-meilleur.html"&gt;e&lt;/a&gt; ? Well, to Ethan, the criteria are more subtle than that. &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Kufuor is no Mobutu, but he is also not Mandela&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Kufuor was the favorite to receive the third Mo Ibrahim prize for African leadership. It’s a big prize – $5 million over 10 years and $200,000 annually for life thereafter – designed to recognize democratically elected former African leaders who’ve stepped down in the past three years after compiling a record of good government. Kufuor was the prohibitive favorite this year – Thabo Mbeki had been forced to resign from his post, while Olusegun Obasanjo is widely viewed as having rigged an election to appoint his succesor. Kufuor, by contrast, saw his party ousted in an election viewed (rightly or wrongly) as being free, presided over dramatic economic growth and was active in international peacekeeping efforts. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://elections.peacefmonline.com/politics/200910/29413.php" style="color: #2244bb;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ghanaian media outlets were announcing Kufuor’s victory before it happened.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;.. and were stunned when &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iDggyGajGjY7N5jUG8vt_2EY5B_gD9BE4TMG0" style="color: #2244bb;" target="_blank"&gt;the Ibrahim foundation decided not to award the prize this year.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iDggyGajGjY7N5jUG8vt_2EY5B_gD9BE4TMG0" style="color: #2244bb;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/a&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/31176443-1888518751351479145?l=sanaga.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sanaga.blogspot.com/feeds/1888518751351479145/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31176443&amp;postID=1888518751351479145' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31176443/posts/default/1888518751351479145'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31176443/posts/default/1888518751351479145'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sanaga.blogspot.com/2009/11/quick-hits-kufuor-marieme-jamme-e.html' title='Quick hits : Kufuor, Marieme Jamme, e-commerce'/><author><name>Lydie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05390387047023117477</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><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176443.post-6842145749413310348</id><published>2009-11-03T16:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-03T16:17:36.447-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Musique'/><title type='text'>Blick Bassy et sa Donalina</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Donalina&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; le quitte et c'est dans une intransigeance toute basaa que &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/blickbassy2"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Blick Bassy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; la rejette.

Je la recommende vivement aux futurs vacanciers et tiens  la mienne à disposition (à condition de me la rendre au retour s'entend).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quoi de 10 dans le monde?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lemonde.fr/afrique/article/2009/05/22/le-gabon-suspendu-a-l-etat-de-sante-d-omar-bongo_1196645_3212.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Omar Bongo dans un état critique&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (BBC). Si au pays ca va, je suppose que tout le monde est au fait du ramdam chez nos voisins du Gabon dont le président &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Omar Bongo Ondimba&lt;/span&gt; est dit dans un état critique des suites des métastases d'un cancer.

Charité chrétienne commande de taire les ambitions acrimonieuses des uns et des autres et de lui souhaiter un "prompt rétablissement" selon la formule du Premier Ministre Francais Francois Fillon venu faire coucou à notre président pour la fête nationale du 20 Mai.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Y a t'il une guerre larvée dans le Delta du Niger (qui se trouve au Nigeria comme son nom ne l'indique pas)?

On est plus que coutumiers des soubresauts qui agitent notre grand voisin à l'Ouest, mais la situation des derniers jours notamment avec les &lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8062315.stm"&gt;attaques &lt;/a&gt;lancées par l'armée durant un festival traditionnel (et les morts qui s'en sont suivies) laisse à penser que le pire se prépare...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Viendra, viendra pas?

where she discusses the future of aid for development of African countries and her latest book &lt;a href="http://www.deadaid.org/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dead Aid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;In Dead Aid, Dambisa Moyo describes the state of postwar development policy in Africa today and unflinchingly confronts one of the greatest myths of our time: that billions of dollars in aid sent from wealthy countries to developing African nations has helped to reduce poverty and increase growth&lt;/span&gt;."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="font-style: italic; text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;But she is starting from the premise that aid not only doesn’t work but is a large part of the problem: it crowds out private investment, fosters corruption, fuels conflict and undermines the rule of law. If that’s where you begin, then the fact that some donor countries are already squeezing their aid budgets and shelving lofty commitments to poverty eradication should prove a healthy wake-up call for African policymakers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, Moyo proposes far more radical treatment: a telephone call from every donor nation to every aid-dependent government in Africa, warning that in five years the taps will turn off. This, she believes, would trigger the search for alternative financing on a commercial basis, and force governments to create conditions in which business would thrive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;In my world of no aid, it is easier for citizens to hold governments accountable&lt;/span&gt;”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;"  class="tag_list"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Tags: &lt;span class="tags"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Moyo+Dambisa" rel="tag"&gt;Moyo Dambisa&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Development+Aid" rel="tag"&gt;Development Aid&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31176443-3978895951800559435?l=sanaga.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sanaga.blogspot.com/feeds/3978895951800559435/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31176443&amp;postID=3978895951800559435' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31176443/posts/default/3978895951800559435'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31176443/posts/default/3978895951800559435'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sanaga.blogspot.com/2009/02/moyo-dambisa-dead-aid-why-aid-is-not.html' title='Moyo Dambisa : Dead Aid: Why Aid is Not Working and How There is Another Way for Africa'/><author><name>Lydie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05390387047023117477</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><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176443.post-6928123924730152949</id><published>2009-02-02T21:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-02T21:20:25.876-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ICT'/><title type='text'>Les opérateurs de téléphonie mobile sont ils les nouvelles trésoreries de l'Afrique?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:85%;" &gt;Lecture très intéressante du &lt;a href="http://ict4dblog.wordpress.com/2009/01/15/are-mobile-phone-companies-the-new-treasuries-of-africa/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;post&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; de Richard Heeks sur le blog &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;"&gt;ICT for development&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.

diamond wealth enriched its people and providing bold leadership during the AIDS pandemic. Mr. Mogae, 69, a man with a modest style, will receive $5 million over the next 10 years and $200,000 per year thereafter for the rest of his life. Over the coming decade, the foundation may also grant another $200,000 a year to causes of Mr. Mogae’s choice. Festus G. Mogae, trained as an economist, was Botswana’s president for two terms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“President Mogae’s outstanding leadership has ensured Botswana’s continued stability and prosperity in the face of an H.I.V. and AIDS pandemic which threatened the future of his country and his people,” the committee said. [...] He had himself tested publicly for H.I.V., the virus that causes AIDS. When he realized that the stigma of H.I.V. and AIDS was so great that people were avoiding testing, he changed the national policy to make testing a routine part of medical care."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le prix décerné porte le nom d'Ibrahim Mo, un milliardaire d'origine soudanaise qui a révolutionné le mobile en Afrique avec la compagnie qu'il a créée puis revendue &lt;a href="http://www.newstatesman.com/200510170021"&gt;Celtel&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div  class="tag_list" style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Tags: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="tags"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Ibrahim+Mo+prize" rel="tag"&gt;Ibrahim Mo prize&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/african+leadership" rel="tag"&gt;african leadership&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Festus+Mogae" rel="tag"&gt;Festus Mogae&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Bostwana" rel="tag"&gt;Bostwana&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31176443-6065359549638542103?l=sanaga.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sanaga.blogspot.com/feeds/6065359549638542103/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31176443&amp;postID=6065359549638542103' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31176443/posts/default/6065359549638542103'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31176443/posts/default/6065359549638542103'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sanaga.blogspot.com/2008/10/le-bostwanais-festus-mogae-recoit-le.html' title='Le Bostwanais Festus Mogae recoit le prix Ibrahim Mo'/><author><name>Lydie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05390387047023117477</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><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176443.post-889156698924617788</id><published>2008-10-18T12:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-18T12:49:23.714-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='misc'/><title type='text'>Je ne suis pas moi</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;

Il suffit d`observer le silence complice de ces promoteurs de la démocratie, qui n`hésitent pas à faire le tour du monde pour aller imposer leur conception de la liberté en Irak, qui se mobilisent pour encourager le changement en Ukraine ou au Kosovo, mais sont aux abonnés absents lorsqu`il s`agit du Cameroun, de la Côte d`Ivoire, du Tchad ou du Congo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: verdana;" class="tag_list"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Tags: &lt;span class="tags"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Ousmana+Sow" rel="tag"&gt;Ousmana Sow&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Sculpture+africaine" rel="tag"&gt;Sculpture africaine&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Senegal" rel="tag"&gt;Senegal&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/ANC" rel="tag"&gt;ANC&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Thabo+Mbeki" rel="tag"&gt;Thabo Mbeki&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Lapiro+de+Mbanga" rel="tag"&gt;Lapiro de Mbanga&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31176443-5715190888300401554?l=sanaga.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sanaga.blogspot.com/feeds/5715190888300401554/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31176443&amp;postID=5715190888300401554' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31176443/posts/default/5715190888300401554'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31176443/posts/default/5715190888300401554'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sanaga.blogspot.com/2008/10/quick-hits-ousmane-sow-thabo-mbeki.html' title='Quick hits : Ousmane Sow, Thabo Mbeki, Lapiro'/><author><name>Lydie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05390387047023117477</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><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176443.post-1848776235555407207</id><published>2008-09-27T20:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-30T21:27:26.786-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='usa'/><title type='text'>If BS were currency, Palin could bail out Wall Street herself</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/L8__aXxXPVc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/L8__aXxXPVc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div  style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Une des forces que je reconnais à la candidate à la vice-présidence des USA, Sarah Palin c'est son côté drôle malgré elle. Passés l'effet de surprise de sa nomination et les inquiétudes qu'elle pourrait récupérer à son profit les intentions de vote du sénateur de New York Hillary Clinton, on en sait un peu plus sur le gouverneur de l'Alaska, état aux confins du Nord Ouest américain peuplé de près de 680 000 âmes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notre amie Sarah, partisante du port des armes et de la lutte contre l'avortement (même en cas de viol ou d'inceste) a quelques casseroles derrière elle (Google vous en dira plus que moi à ce sujet). Je ne les détaillerai pas ici car ce n'est pas ce qui m'amuse le plus chez elle. 3 semaines après la convention républicaine où force est de reconnaître que sa prestation avait été plus qu'honorable, notre chère Sarah Palin inquiète par le nombre d'inepties qu'elle a pu débiter au long de ses (rares) entretiens avec la presse. Comme nos amis républicains ne pouvaient décidément la cacher trop longtemps il a bien fallu qu'elle parle à la presse et il en résulte qu'elle s'emmêle un peu les fiches. Extraits choisis de l'article de Fareed Zakaria dans le &lt;a href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/161204/page/1"&gt;Newsweek&lt;/a&gt; de cette semaine:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"CBS's &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.newsweek.com/related.aspx?subject=Katie+Couric" class="related"&gt;Katie Couric&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; questioned her in her trademark sympathetic style. It didn't help. When asked how living in the state closest to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.newsweek.com/related.aspx?subject=Russia" class="related"&gt;Russia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; gave her foreign-policy experience, Palin responded thus:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;             &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"It's very important when you consider even national-security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the airspace of the United States of America. Where—where do they go? It's &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.newsweek.com/related.aspx?subject=Alaska" class="related"&gt;Alaska&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;. It's just right over the border. It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to—to our state."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;En clair, parce que pour se rendre aux USA les Russes survolent l'Alaska, cela confère au gouverneur de cet état proche de la Russie (par l'Ouest) une expérience en politique étrangère. Vous avez tout suivi? Soit vous êtes en train de pouffer de rire, soit vous vous demandez si vous avez la berlue, mais en tous les cas vous avez bien lu. Le florilège de conneries ne s'arrête pas là pour notre plus grand désespoir.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"COURIC: Why isn't it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families who are struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries; allow them to spend more and put more money into the economy instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;PALIN: That's why I say I, like every American I'm speaking with, were ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health-care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy, helping the—it's got to be all about job creation, too, shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track. So health-care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans. And trade, we've got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, scary thing. But one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today, we've got to look at that as more opportunity. All those things under the umbrella of job creation.

(...) Like so many women, I’ve been pulling for Palin, wishing her the best, hoping she will perform brilliantly. I’ve also noticed that I watch her interviews with the held breath of an anxious parent, my finger poised over the mute button in case it gets too painful. Unfortunately, it often does. My cringe reflex is exhausted. Palin filibusters. She repeats words, filling space with deadwood.

Trois têtes de jeunes hommes au visage tuméfié. Cette photo est l’un des rares témoignages subsistant, aujourd’hui au Cameroun, de la répression impitoyable menée par l’armée coloniale française contre l’Union des populations du Cameroun (UPC) et son leader, Ruben Um Nyobè, abattu il y a tout juste cinquante ans, le 13 septembre 1958.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;La guerre contre ce parti politique, qui réclamait l’indépendance, a duré près de quinze ans et fait, selon les estimations, plusieurs dizaines de milliers de morts, voire des centaines de milliers de victimes. Mais elle fait l’objet d’un gros trou de mémoire en France et au sommet de l’Etat camerounais.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;C’est en 1948, dans le milieu syndical de la cité portuaire de Douala, que l’UPC a vu le jour. Le pays est alors coupé en deux : d’abord colonie allemande, il a été placé en 1919 par la Société des Nations sous la tutelle française pour sa partie orientale, et britannique pour sa partie occidentale. Rapidement, les revendications de l’UPC - indépendance et réunification - deviennent extrêmement populaires, en particulier dans l’ouest et le sud du pays, les pays bamiléké et bassa, qui ont particulièrement souffert du système de prédation et du travail forcé imposés par les Allemands, puis les Français. La personnalité exceptionnelle de Ruben Um Nyobè, intellectuel intègre, humaniste et pacifiste, joue beaucoup : «Mpodol» («celui qui porte la parole des siens», en langue bassa), comme le surnomment ses partisans, jouit d’une formidable aura.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Pour plaider la cause nationaliste, Um Nyobè se rend à trois reprises au siège de l’ONU à New York. Mais si les autorités françaises envisagent l’indépendance du Cameroun, elles ne veulent pas confier les rênes du pouvoir à l’UPC. Elles dispersent violemment ses manifestations et ses réunions et elles finissent par l’interdire en juillet 1955. Les leaders du mouvement choisissent alors la clandestinité ou l’exil. Acculée, l’aile radicale du parti décide de répondre à la violence par la violence : elle prend le maquis dans le sud du pays, y installe une administration parallèle, et se lance dans des actions de guérilla. En retour, les autorités coloniales imposent un régime de terreur. Sous la direction du haut-commissaire du Cameroun de l’époque, Pierre Messmer, elles utilisent les méthodes alors en cours en Algérie : traqués, présentés comme des «terroristes», les «upécistes» sont infiltrés, arrêtés, torturés, déportés, assassinés, décapités. Des dizaines de villages sont rasés, d’autres bombardés au napalm, leurs populations sont déplacées, regroupées dans des camps pour couper les «maquisards» de leur soutien populaire. La répression cible en particulier l’ethnie bassa, principal vivier de la rébellion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;" class="inter"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;«Des machettes  contre des armes automatiques»&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;«Il y avait un couvre-feu à partir de 20 heures. L’armée encerclait alors le quartier et on entendait des coups de feu d’intimidation jusqu’au matin. Comme les balles traversaient parfois les maisons, nous dormions sous nos lits», se souvient Raphaël, un habitant de Douala. «Tous les matins, on trouvait des têtes coupées exposées sur les trottoirs : elles étaient destinées à effrayer les gens et leur dire "ne rejoignez pas le maquis, vous finirez comme eux"», témoigne la journaliste Henriette Ekwé, alors enfant. Dans le maquis aussi, la vie est infernale : «C’était une guerre asymétrique : nous n’avions que des machettes à opposer aux armes automatiques de l’armée française. En forêt, où nous vivions, nous n’avions rien à manger» , se souvient un ancien résistant.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;En France, ces événements passent quasiment inaperçus : la presse est préoccupée avant tout par la guerre d’Algérie. Surtout, très peu d’informations filtrent du Cameroun, parce que «c’était une guerre de professionnels», sans appelés du contingent, contrairement à l’Algérie, souligne l’historien français Gabriel Périès. D’ailleurs, la France n’a officiellement jamais été en guerre au Cameroun et le corps expéditionnaire y a été «envoyé pratiquement dans une semi-clandestinité», ajoute Périès.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;En 1958, le refuge d’Um Nyobè est découvert. Il est tué alors qu’il tente de s’enfuir. Son corps, ensanglanté et défiguré, est enterré à la va-vite par les autorités coloniales et recouvert d’une dalle de béton.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Le Cameroun accède finalement à l’indépendance en 1960. Mais il reste sous l’étroit contrôle politique et économique de la France et du M. Afrique de De Gaulle, Jacques Foccart, qui impose à sa tête le président Ahmadou Ahidjo. Ceux qui dirigent ainsi l’Etat camerounais «n’ont jamais combattu pour l’indépendance mais ont été contraints de l’accepter» , souligne l’historien Emmanuel Tchumtchoua, qui note que «l’indépendance n’a pas mis fin à l’injustice et à la discrimination du régime colonial». L’UPC poursuit la lutte de libération dans l’Ouest, en plein pays bamiléké, via sa branche armée, l’Armée de libération nationale du Kamerun (ALNK). Ahidjo la combat sur le mode de la politique de la terre brûlée et avec l’aide active de l’armée française, qui est restée sur place jusqu’en 1964 pour former son homologue camerounaise. Les deux Maurice, Delaunay et Robert - des proches de Foccart -, supervisent la liquidation des maquis «upécistes» avec le chef des services camerounais, Jean Fochivé. «Dans chaque village, il y a eu de nombreux morts»,le Jour. «Seize membres de ma famille ont été exécutés le même jour. On n’a jamais su ce qu’on leur reprochait.» Des bandes de pillards se mêlent aux rebelles et sèment la confusion. Le village de Badenkop, siège de l’état-major de l’ALNK, a été «complètement vidé» de sa population et incendié. Comme plusieurs centaines de milliers d’autres, ses habitants ont été parqués dans un camp pendant quatre ans. «Seules deux ou trois personnes étaient autorisées à sortir chaque jour du camp» , raconte un habitant.&lt;/span&gt; raconte un journaliste originaire de l’Ouest, Denis Nkwebo, du quotidien privé &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;C’est en 1971 que la guerre prend officiellement fin avec l’arrestation d’Ernest Ouandié, dernier chef de l’UPC, exécuté sur la place publique de la ville de Bafoussam. Mais les autorités continuent à entretenir un climat de terreur. «Jusqu’au début des années 90, on ne pouvait pas prononcer le nom d’Um Nyobè et de l’UPC. Sinon, on disparaissait», explique Samuel Mack-It, actuel président d’un parti héritier de l’UPC, non reconnu légalement. La chape de plomb n’a été levée que très furtivement en 1991, avec l’instauration d’un semblant de démocratie. Par calcul politique, le président Paul Biya, au pouvoir depuis 1982, «réhabilite» tout à la fois Ahmadou Ahidjo, condamné à mort par contumace en 1984, Ruben Um Nyobè, Ernest Ouandié et un autre responsable de l’UPC, Félix Moumié, mort empoisonné à Genève en octobre 1960, apparemment par les services secrets français. Mais Biya veille surtout à phagocyter ce qui reste de l’UPC.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;" class="inter"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;«Comme si le pays n’avait pas d’histoire»&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Aujourd’hui, la guerre qui a ensanglanté le Cameroun, tout comme le nom d’Um Nyobè et de ses camarades, sont rarement évoqués. Il n’existe aucun monument pour rappeler leur combat. Ils ne sont que brièvement mentionnés dans les manuels d’histoire. Cette indifférence vis-à-vis des héros de l’indépendance fait du Cameroun «un cas à part en Afrique» , souligne l’historien Tchumtchoua. «Il y a en réalité deux mémoires en conflit : celle, idéalisée, de l’UPC, et celle que veut fabriquer le pouvoir pour se maintenir. Selon cette dernière, les "upécistes" n’étaient rien d’autres que des bandits.» Quant à ceux qui ont survécu à cette période, «ils ont du mal à raconter, et ceux qui racontent un peu ne le font pas avec sérénité. Les plaies sont encore béantes. Beaucoup sont encore traumatisés et ont peur» , observe Henriette Ekwé.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Résultat, la jeunesse camerounaise ne sait pas grand-chose de ces années sombres qui ont pourtant orienté la suite du parcours du pays. «C’est comme s’il n’y avait pas d’histoire, or un pays sans histoire est comme une maison sans fondations» , déplore un ancien résistant, qui, comme les autres, vit aujourd’hui dans la misère.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;«La période propice à l’émergence de notre conscience est en train d’arriver» ,«Tout se dira alors. On aura certes perdu des détails, mais l’histoire ne peut pas s’effacer. Il y a des mécanismes pour garder le souvenir : des berceuses et des chants évoquent d’une manière indirecte cette période.» Déjà, une petite association composée d’anciens upécistes, de veuves et d’orphelins de résistants, l’Association des vétérans du Cameroun (Asvecam), a vu le jour, en 2005 à Douala, pour «poser le devoir de mémoire». «Nous voulons faire comprendre aux jeunes qu’il y a eu des hommes de cœur, des altruistes qui se sont mis au service de leur pays sans attendre de manière immédiate une récompense ou une compensation», explique un de ses membres. Mais pour que les jeunes puissent se référer à ces figures, «il faut faire leur deuil, ce qui n’a jamais été fait : on ne les a pas enterrées, ni pleurées comme il le fallait, rappelle Tchumtchoua. Um Nyobè et Ouandié n’ont pas été inhumés selon les rituels traditionnels. Au contraire, on s’est acharné sur leurs cadavres, et en procédant ainsi, on leur a dénié le titre d’ancêtres. Ceux qui l’ont fait savaient ce qu’ils faisaient. » Rien ne se fera probablement sous le régime Biya, qui n’est que «le prolongement du régime néocolonial d’Ahidjo», souligne Henriette Ekwé. «D’autant que des responsables actuels de l’armée ou de la police ont été de grands tueurs dans les années 60.» Ce n’est probablement pas non plus le pouvoir actuel qui demandera à la France de «reconnaître les massacres qu’elle a commis au Cameroun», déplore le président de l’Asvecam, Mathieu Njassep, ancien secrétaire d’Ernest Ouandié. Pourtant, «les responsabilités doivent être établies» , plaide-t-il. Nous reconnaissons, nous, que certains de nos camarades ont fait des choses qui n’étaient pas correctes. Chaque partie doit assumer sa part de responsabilité.» Mais en France le black-out est total. «C’est incalculable le nombre de fois où nous nous sommes vus répondre, que ce soit par des personnes qui ont travaillé du côté de l’armée française, des services de renseignements ou des responsables politiques : "Mais il ne s’est rien passé au Cameroun !" Comme s’il y avait un pacte qui dit qu’il ne faut rien raconter. C’est assez troublant», témoigne Gaëlle Le Roy, auteure, avec Valérie Osouf, du documentaire Autopsie d’une indépendance (2008). Aucun militaire français présent dans le pays entre 1955 et 1964 n’a accepté de témoigner. estime cependant Tchumtchoua. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;«Le fait qu’on ait utilisé des armes interdites comme le napalm explique aussi ce grand silence» , renchérit Gabriel Périès. François Gèze, le directeur des éditions de la Découverte, prépare avec trois jeunes historiens, français et camerounais, un ouvrage sur la question qui complétera les rares écrits des historiens Richard Joseph et Achille Mbembe ou de l’écrivain Mongo Beti : «C’est une guerre secrète à tous les égards : elle n’est absolument pas documentée sur le plan historique.» Pourtant, «cette guerre "qui n’a jamais eu lieu" est dans les archives, souligne Périès. Mais si on ouvre réellement celles-ci, il y aura un problème : la destruction totale ou partielle d’un groupe social, d’une race ou d’un groupe ethnique&lt;span class="normal"&gt; [les Bassas et les Bamilékés, ndlr]&lt;/span&gt; est considérée comme un génocide et c’est un crime imprescriptible…» Peu de chance, donc, qu’elles soient rendues accessibles tant que certains acteurs impliqués sont en vie."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31176443-4775273523708498214?l=sanaga.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sanaga.blogspot.com/feeds/4775273523708498214/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31176443&amp;postID=4775273523708498214' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31176443/posts/default/4775273523708498214'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31176443/posts/default/4775273523708498214'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sanaga.blogspot.com/2008/09/cameroun-1958-la-guerre-cache-de-la.html' title='Cameroun 1958, la guerre cachée de la France'/><author><name>Lydie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05390387047023117477</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><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176443.post-8130225874983277044</id><published>2008-08-28T16:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-28T16:36:29.316-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='usa'/><title type='text'>If you want a taste of freedom, keep going</title><content type='html'>&lt;div  style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;If you hear the dogs, keep going.

Le mot d'ordre de ce discours fort était l'unité; gageons que l'attaque ne saura manquer de porter ses fruits tant les valeurs  et concepts du parti démocrate qui y sont énoncés (système d'imposition progressif, assurance médicale et sécurité sociale) sont au coeur des préoccupations de l'américain moyen et du pays réel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/268ncnoitEc&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/268ncnoitEc&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merci Hillary, à toi Barack...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="tag_list"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Tags: &lt;span class="tags"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Hillary+Clinton" rel="tag"&gt;Hillary Clinton&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Barack+Obama" rel="tag"&gt;Barack Obama&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/US+presidential+election" rel="tag"&gt;US presidential election&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31176443-8130225874983277044?l=sanaga.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sanaga.blogspot.com/feeds/8130225874983277044/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31176443&amp;postID=8130225874983277044' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31176443/posts/default/8130225874983277044'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31176443/posts/default/8130225874983277044'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sanaga.blogspot.com/2008/08/if-you-want-taste-of-freedom-keep-going.html' title='If you want a taste of freedom, keep going'/><author><name>Lydie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05390387047023117477</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><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176443.post-8262153946447476644</id><published>2008-08-10T07:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-10T07:46:54.981-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='misc'/><title type='text'>Reality TV stars &amp; friends</title><content type='html'>&lt;div  style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Un des thèmes récurrents parmi les participants des émissions de télé réalité est qu'ils ne sont pas là pour se faire des amis.

MySpace, Facebook et autres se demandent encore &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;comment générer des $$$ avec la kyrielle d'utilisateurs qui naviguent sur leurs sites chaque jour&lt;/span&gt;? Réponse : c'est pas aussi simple qu'il y en a l'air. Une des raisons étant que les utilisateurs de ces sites viennent pour discuter avec leurs amis et non pour acheter, il en résulte qu'ils tendent à ignorer superbement les publicités que leur servent des algorithmes compliqués. Si l'on ajoute à cela une certaine susceptibilité (rappelez vous du lancement en grande pompe du programme Beacon sur Facebooks et du tollé qui s'en est suivi) sur les questions qui concernent la vie privée et l'utilisation (entendez la divulgation moyennant finances) par des sociétés tierces de nos préférences vous avez l'équation à plusieurs inconnues devant vous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;" onclick="'new"&gt;Web 2.0--the dream of the user-built, user-centered, user-run Internet--has delivered on just about every promise except profit. Will its most prominent example, social networking, ever make any money?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Extrait choisis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Social networking is the fastest-growing activity on Web 2.0--the shorthand term for the new user-centered Internet, where everyone publicly modifies everyone else's work, whether it's an encyclopedia entry or a photo album. The growth of social networking is astonishing, and it has spread to sites of all sizes, which are increasingly intertwined as platforms open. [...] &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The problems with social-network advertising revolve around three main issues: attention, privacy, and content.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Advertising on Google works because visitors come to Google looking for specific information. If a user who types "scooter" in the site's search field is hoping to buy a scooter, the keyword ads that appear at the right of the search results can be more useful than the results themselves. In social networks, on the other hand, users show up to find friends; ads are, at best, irrele­vant to that goal. The click-through rates on social-­networking sites bear this out. While around 2 percent of Google users actually click on a given ad (and the number is much higher when users are conducting searches for purchasing reasons), fewer than .04 percent of Facebook users do, according to a media buyer's report obtained last year by the Silicon Valley blog Valleywag.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Targeting is at the core of traditional advertising; [...] in the case of social-networking sites, targeting means sifting through the data in your profile to get an idea of what you're interested in. Social networks know more about you, your preferences, and your behavior than most businesses, and profiles are generally considered, in the words of former Fox Interactive Media executive Ross Levinsohn, "digital gold." Mining that gold is the best way for a social-networking site to make money--but, given users' attitudes toward privacy, the trickiest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onclick="'new"&gt;Une "petite" lecture conseillée à tous les wannabe rich de la nouvelle bulle et autres aficionados des réseaux sociaux.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" onclick="'new"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" onclick="'new"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: verdana;" class="tag_list"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Tags: &lt;span class="tags"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/social+networking" rel="tag"&gt;social networking&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/social+media+ads" rel="tag"&gt;social media ads&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/facebook" rel="tag"&gt;facebook&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/myspace" rel="tag"&gt;myspace&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31176443-5269512448185450317?l=sanaga.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sanaga.blogspot.com/feeds/5269512448185450317/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31176443&amp;postID=5269512448185450317' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31176443/posts/default/5269512448185450317'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31176443/posts/default/5269512448185450317'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sanaga.blogspot.com/2008/08/social-networking-is-not-business.html' title='Social Networking Is Not a Business'/><author><name>Lydie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05390387047023117477</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><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176443.post-5727903267276092571</id><published>2008-08-09T21:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-09T21:25:14.855-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ouverture des JO à Pékin, et pendant ce temps...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__xSjoqe0vrE/SJ5tfGYtzSI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/5aEw0OgF_60/s1600-h/Img214514077.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__xSjoqe0vrE/SJ5tfGYtzSI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/5aEw0OgF_60/s400/Img214514077.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232740198108744994" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;C'était la 8eme minute de la 8eme heure du 8eme jour, du 8eme mois, de la 8eme année du siècle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mille mercis à Amina pour le lien de cet article de &lt;a href="http://www.lesoirdalgerie.com/articles/2008/08/10/hakim.php"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Hakim Lalâam&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; qui fait très très fort&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote  style="font-style: italic;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Bilan de la cérémonie d’ouverture des Jeux olympiques de Pékin : 4 malaises cardiaques, 3 évanouissements et 2 dépressions nerveuses dans les rangs du…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;…Comité britannique d’organisation des Jeux de 2012 !&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Tu regardes la cérémonie des Jeux olympiques. Déjà, tu te pinces pour te demander si tu fais encore partie de la même galaxie, du même espace temps, de la même dimension. T’as de sérieux doutes. Surtout lorsque des enfants qui peignaient une superbe fresque au sol s’envolent soudain et que tout autour d’eux, le ciel de Pékin s’embrase de mille feux d’artifice. T’es dans cet état d’esprit-là, vacillant presque sur ton appartenance à cet univers littéralement post-moderne lorsque le téléphone sonne et qu’une voix haletante t’appelle de M’sila [une ville à l'intérieur du pays] . Sur un rythme d’enfer, tel un staccato d’arme automatique, ton interlocuteur t’apprend coup sur coup qu’un mec est passé sur le corps d’un autre mec avec sa voiture, qu’ensuite, la population d’une localité dénommée Sidi Aïssa s’est dirigée en nombre pour brûler l’hôtel du père du gars qui a écrasé l’autre gars, vous suivez ? Ripostant à la tentative d’incendie, le proprio et ses vigiles tirent sur la foule, tuant 3 personnes et en blessant 56 autres. Au bout d’un moment et de beaucoup de sang versé, les assaillants, devinant que les chargeurs étaient vides, investissent l’hôtel, le brûlent et lapident le papa du gars qui avait écrasé un autre gars avec sa voiture, vous suivez toujours ? Avant de se retirer des lieux de ce carnage, une partie des assaillants traîne sur plus de 200 mètres le corps du propriétaire de l’hôtel. Sous le choc, tu raccroches le téléphone. Pour le reprendre aussitôt. Un autre appel. Une voix horrifiée t’apprend cette fois-ci que les supporters d’El-Harrach et du Mouloudia d’Alger se sont affrontés à coups de sabres, de couteaux et de haches, à Rouiba, en proche banlieue d’Alger. Là, tu raccroches. Dégoûté, tu éteins carrément ton mobile. Et tu reprends en direct la retransmission de la cérémonie d’ouverture des Jeux olympiques. Pour entendre le reporter dire ceci : «Présent à Pékin, le président Bouteflika a annoncé la construction prochaine par les Chinois d’un grand opéra à Alger.» Forcément, quelque part, entre l’hôtel brûlé de M’sila, les portes du stade de Rouiba et le futur gigantesque opéra d’Alger, y a un truc qui déconne dans cette histoire. Forcément. Je fume du thé et je reste éveillé, le cauchemar continue.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;H.

Le Lidec,&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; il lui faut envoyer dans la Grande Ile un diplomate qui n'a connu ni coup d'Etat, ni assassinat politique.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div  style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On leur souhaite bonne chance ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;" class="tag_list"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Tags: &lt;span class="tags"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Madagascar;+Relations+franco-malgaches" rel="tag"&gt;Madagascar; Relations franco-malgaches&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31176443-8620624016767145661?l=sanaga.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sanaga.blogspot.com/feeds/8620624016767145661/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31176443&amp;postID=8620624016767145661' title='3 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31176443/posts/default/8620624016767145661'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31176443/posts/default/8620624016767145661'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sanaga.blogspot.com/2008/07/lambassadeur-renvoy-parce-quil-portait.html' title='L&apos;ambassadeur renvoyé parce qu&apos;il portait le mauvais oeil ?'/><author><name>Lydie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05390387047023117477</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><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176443.post-3623009417802189755</id><published>2008-07-11T14:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-11T15:14:25.500-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='misc'/><title type='text'>Qui ne pas épouser ou le guide du mari idéal</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Lecture ô combien drôle de la dernière chronique de Maureen Dowd du New York Times sur le sujet en vogue depuis la nuit des temps  "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/06/opinion/06dowd.html?em&amp;amp;ex=1215921600&amp;amp;en=8a21ec5d47c8ad1b&amp;amp;ei=5087%0A"&gt;an Ideal Husband&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;".

He’s a heavy drinker, or some other kind of addict, but if he marries a good woman, he’ll settle down. People are the same after marriage as before, only more so.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Take a good, unsentimental look at his family (...) Is there a history of divorce in the family? An atmosphere of racism, sexism or prejudice in his home?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Are his goals and deepest beliefs worthy and similar to yours?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Does he possess those character traits that add up to a good human being — the willingness to forgive, praise, be courteous?

They're nasty because the dissonance between the wider world's professed concern and what it actually does is almost intolerable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Les sanctions, les mots durs n'ont pas manqué pour s'élever contre la tragédie&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt; au Darfour nous&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt; rappelle Bref Stephens, mais ceux-ci ont été peu suivis par des actions concrètes sur le terrain. Le Premier ministre Britannique rappelle avec lyrisme que "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;the world is of one view: that the status quo cannot continue". Plaît-il?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div  style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;blockquote style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;A solution for Zimbabwe's crisis isn't hard to come by: Someone – ideally the British – must remove Mr. Mugabe by force, install Mr. Tsvangirai as president, arm his supporters, prevent any rampages, and leave. "Saving Darfur" is a somewhat different story, but it also involves applying Western military force to whatever degree is necessary to get Khartoum to come to terms with an independent or autonomous Darfur. Burma? Same deal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div  style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Il est fort juste de rappeler que ce type d'approche de pacification du monde est en étroite relation avec celle énoncée il n'y a pas si longtemps par George Bush avec le succès que l'on saiten Irak et en Afghanistan. Ne doit-on rien faire pour autant? Oui et non, réponse  de normande que je ne suis pas et qui ne nous avance guère en l'espèce. "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;La Responsabilité de protéger&lt;/span&gt;" telle qu'énoncée par Bush et ses conseillers n'est pas à jeter aux orties tant les "tâches" sur la conscience du monde  - comme les nomme Barak Obama - ne manquent pas. Les morts non plus...  Ce qui me dérange le plus c'est ce paternalisme tacite et cette volonté de salut qui vient de l'extérieur. Que font nos leaders pendant ce temps? Pas grand-chose, &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/27/world/africa/27mbeki.html"&gt;Thabo Mbeki&lt;/a&gt; est incroyablement silencieux sur la question de son voisin, privilégiant une voie qui défie l'entendement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Et après? Robert Mugabe prête serment aujourd'hui et offre une branche d'olivier dans un cynisme sans nom. Et après? ben rien, la rumeur de nos palabres infinies recouvre le silence coupable de notre conscience et les morts s'accumulent....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="tag_list"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Tags: &lt;span class="tags"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Zimbabwe" rel="tag"&gt;Zimbabwe&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Bush+Doctrine" rel="tag"&gt;Bush Doctrine&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Mugabe" rel="tag"&gt;Mugabe&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Thabo+Mbeki" rel="tag"&gt;Thabo Mbeki&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Morgan+Tsvangirai" rel="tag"&gt;Morgan Tsvangirai&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31176443-7798474700729321387?l=sanaga.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sanaga.blogspot.com/feeds/7798474700729321387/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31176443&amp;postID=7798474700729321387' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31176443/posts/default/7798474700729321387'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31176443/posts/default/7798474700729321387'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sanaga.blogspot.com/2008/06/zimbabwe-status-quo-cannot-continue.html' title='Zimbabwe : the status quo cannot continue'/><author><name>Lydie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05390387047023117477</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><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
