Nonostante la fine degli scontri, resta alta la tensione a Lomé dopo l'annuncio martedì scorso dei risultati delle elezioni. Fonti diplomatiche occidentali contattate dall'agenzia Misna puntano il dito contro gruppi di sostenitori del partito di governo (Rpt), che accusano la Germania di essere troppo vicina all'opposizione. Continua a crescere il numero di persone in fuga dal Togo: lo rifesisce l'Alto Commissariato delle Nazioni Unite per i Rifugiati, secondo il quale complessivamente 5.754 rifugiati sono arrivati nel vicino Benin, mentre in Ghana sono stati registrati altri più di 600 nuovi arrivi. Le presidenziali di domenica scorsa «non si sono svolte regolarmente e vanno annullate» - riporta Nigrizia citando fonti togolesi. E Lettera 22 pubblica un'approfondita analisi del giornalista Jean Leonard Touadi.

Secondo quanto emerge dal rapporto dell’organizzazione americana Human Rights Watch sul Chad e sul Sud del Darfur è frequente la pratica del rapimento e dello stupro delle donne e delle ragazze anche giovanissime da parte di altri gruppi etnici per terrorizzare e per gettare nel caos le comunità rurali. I momenti più rischiosi per le donne del Darfur sembrano essere quelli in cui si recano fuori comunità per la raccolta dell’acqua e della legna da ardere. Una drammatica situazione che porta conseguenze gravissime anche sul piano strettamente medico con il diffondersi di molte pericolose malattie, quali Epatite B e C, e aids. Per Hrw è necessario incrementare i fondi per la protezione e l’educazione dall'Hiv. Ma in Sudan la sanità è diventata tutta a pagamento e si paga un biglietto pure per andare a trovare dei pazienti di un ospedale.

OneWorld presents part two of a three-part series on human trafficking from its new "treeless" magazine, Perspectives, which offers more background and context on the issue, viewpoints from non-profit organizations, and ways for individuals to get involved.

The opposition has urged the country's five million people to resist, and tensions remained high overnight.

I sindaci e le amministrazioni di tutte le città del mondo, in testa quelle giapponesi di Hiroshima e Nagasaki, sono mobilitati da anni per ottenere una reale e definitiva messa al bando globale delle armi nucleari: la cultura del terrore e della distruzione totale si oppone drasticamente all'orizzonte dello sviluppo locale, armonico, condiviso di cui le autorità locali devono essere portatrici. Dopo la sottoscrizione dell'appello "Abolition Now!" per l'abolizione immediata degli armamenti nucleari, discusso e approvato nell'assemblea dell'8 Aprile, la Rete del Nuovo Municipio è stata invitata dal sindaco di Hiroshima e dalla lega mondiale "Mayors for Peace" a prendere parte alle manifestazioni che il suo Coordinamento ha promosso a New York in occasione della ridiscussione del Trattato di Non Proliferazione Nucleare presso la sede centrale dell'ONU al Palazzo di Vetro.
