31.01.2005 It was no surprise to Gugulethu Moyo, former lawyer for the now banned Daily News newspaper, that the first law signed by President Mugabe in 2005 further increased already draconian restrictions on media in the country. But despite the climate of terror, journalists continue to work in the country--albeit under the radar--and that, to Moyo, is a sign of hope.

Akcija rusenja u Podgorici
31.01.2005 Ministarstvo za zastitu zivotne sredine i uredjenje prostora Crne Gore, ponistilo je rjesenja podgoricke Gradjevinske inspekcije po kojima je nedavno sruseno desetak ograda i objekata na trasi mini - zaobilaznice i taj predmet dostavilo Sekretarijatu za komunalno-stambene poslove Podgorice. Ova odluka izazvace seriju sudskih procesa. Resorno Ministarstvo je 6. decembra prosle godine, nekoliko dana nakon sto su objekti poruseni, utvrdilo da je ta rjesenja donio nenadlezan organ i proglasilo ih nevazecim. Rijec je o ogradama koje su bile sagradjene na privatnom zemljistu i njihovo rusenje je okoncano krajem novembra. Kasnije je u tom dijelu grada srusena samo kuca automobiliste Gorana Asanovica koja je bila izgradjena na drzavnom zemljistu i na nju se rjesenje Ministarstva i ne odnosi.

28.01.2005 Even as the Bush administration refutes charges by critics that U.S. aid to poor nations is miserly compared to the contributions of other wealthy countries, it appears to be quietly rolling back its previous commitments to increase development assistance by 50 percent beginning next year.

28.01.2005 Al fine di sollecitare l'attenzione sul tema del debito estero la Campagna Sdebitarsi ha inviato un messaggio ai Presidenti , Capigruppo della Camera e del Senato riuniti sulle misure proposte dal governo a seguito del maremoto nel sud est asiatico. "Le iniziative annunciate più volte dal G8 ed in altre sedi internazionali sono state puntualmente disattese. Allo stesso tempo in Italia la cancellazione del debito e’ stata strumentalmente utilizzata per cancellare anche la cooperazione. Le risorse per lo sviluppo allocate con la legge finanziaria del 2005 per gli aiuti pubblici allo sviluppo corrispondono allo 0,11. Una politica di aiuto pubblico allo sviluppo se vuole essere seria e credibile deve fare marciare di pari passo la cancellazione del debito con l’allocazione di nuove risorse per la cooperazione. E’ scandaloso che una tale pratica sia stata legittimata alla fine anche in ambito di OCSE da parte dei principali paesi donatori". Queste sono alcune delle riflessioni firmate da vari esponenti di organizzazioni italiane a cui seguono richieste verso il Club di Parigi, Governo e G8.

Su questa decisione critiche sono arrivate da quattro rappresentanti del Consiglio Internazionale del Fsm.
