Ceutan siirtolaisia
16.10.2006 Vuosi sitten Euroopan porteilta Marokosta käännytetyt malilaiset palasivat lyötyinä kotiin. Moni on nyt päässyt uuden elämän alkuun palaajien perustaman järjestön tuella. Lokakuussa 2005 maailman huomio kohdistui hetken aikaan Espanjalle kuuluviin alueisiin Marokon rannikolla, kun tuhannet epätoivoiset afrikkalaiset pyrkivät niihin aitojen yli.

03.02.2006 The primary goal of this project is to solve the information and communication problems of farmers in the Mandé region, south of Bamako in Mali. The almost total lack of infrastructure in this region makes it very difficult for the implementing organisation Fabema to reach its constituent members and to inform them about activities, awareness workshops and market prices.

ragazzi a Bamako
26.01.2006 I bambini di Bamako, capitale del Mali, corrono felici, guardano con curiosità i diecimila partecipanti alla marcia per la giustizia che apre la sesta edizione del world social forum, la prima volta di questo evento mondiale in Africa. Corrono a farsi fotografare, ad ascoltare i tamburi del Burundi, il corpo di ballo del Burkina Faso, le maschere rituali dei Dogon. E’ un giorno diverso per loro, chissà se si ricorderanno questi momenti, se potrà servire a qualcosa, a migliorare le loro vite. Il Mali é uno dei paesi più poveri del mondo : qui un quarto dei nati non raggiunge i cinque anni di vita, l’aspettativa alla nascita è di poco superiore ai quarant’anni ed è peggiore rispetto al 1990. Ogni donna, in media, partorisce 6 figli, oltre metà della popolazione non dispone di acqua potabile e meno della metà dei giovani completa gli studi, con le bambine chiaramente più penalizzate. Bamako diventa dunque il tentativo di dare un nuovo slancio ai temi del social forum, coinvolgendo dal basso la società civile, i movimenti sociali del continente più martoriato, tutte quelle persone che non hanno la possibilità di viaggiare, di raccontare al mondo il dramma di paesi ricchi di risorse e di umanità, ma drammaticamente esclusi dall’economia globale. - di Roberto Bombarda, Forum Trentino per la Pace

cotone africano
24.01.2006 Tre giorni di lavori molti intensi, circa 5000 delegati ogni giorno a partecipare a eventi e seminari, un incrocio di lingue - tra inglese, francese, bambarà e il nostro italiano, tra le delegazioni europee più consistenti - ma anche di culture e costumi, con il blu delle vesti tuareg e le stampe coloratissime delle donne africane a catturare attenzione e suscitare energia. Il Forum sociale mondiale a Bamako ci ha aperto una nuova pista di lavoro: quella di ricondurre le riflessioni e i saperi del movimento altermondialista alle pratiche concrete che in questo continente prendono le braccia e i volti dei movimenti delle donne, delle reti contadine, dei produttori, degli artigiani che fronteggiano quotidianamente i propri governi e i nostri per garantire la sopravvivenza alle proprie comunità. Ma il viaggio di Tradewatch si sposta verso Koutiala, ospiti della rete dei produttori di cotone maliani.

Aminata Traorè
18.01.2006 Tornano i riflettori sull’Africa con il Forum Sociale Mondiale che si tiene dal 19 al 23 gennaio a Bamako in Mali. In programma seminari e approfondimenti su vari temi tra cui guerra e militarismo, debito e commercio globale. La figura emblema del paese è Aminata Traorè, ex ministro della cultura del Mali, definita “la più grande voce africana contro la globalizzazione”. L’attuale governo ha una chiara impronta liberista e prevede la privatizzazione degli aereoporti e della Compagnia nazionale del cotone. Il neoliberismo viene visto come causa della maggior parte dei mali dell’Africa anche da Ayesha Kajee dell’Istituto sudafricano per gli affari internazionali che però invita a un autocritica anche la società civile. ”Una simile conferenza richiede la presenza di amici dell’Africa dall’Europa e dal Nord America”, ha detto all’IPS Sam Ndlovu, ricercatore presso l’Università del Sud Africa. “Senza il loro aiuto, le loro pressioni e le loro campagne, l’Africa – da sola — otterrà ben poco”.

18.08.2005 In an effort to feed an additional 175,000 children in the hardest-hit parts of Mali and to avoid it slipping into a humanitarian crisis similar to neighbouring Niger, the UN World Food Programme has almost doubled its emergency appeal for the West African country to $13.6 million.

West Africa is entering a yearly cycle of chronic food shortage. This year, due to several natural events, the shortage will turn into crisis if help is not sent. Almost 100 percent of last season's crops were destroyed by swarms of desert locusts. Coupled with scarce rainfall during the majority of planting season, much of West Africa is speeding towards mass starvation. Approximately 3.6 million people in Niger alone currently are at risk of food shortage. Through GlobalGiving, you can help the people of West Africa by contributing to a project that will provide food assistance.

04.08.2005 Although the World Food Programme has received 57% of emergency food aid needed for Niger, millions more in the neighboring countries of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Mauritania are threatened by a major food crisis as well, because rich countries have not responded to months of appeals for emergency funds, warned Oxfam on Wednesday.
