19.09.2006 Zambia's general election, set for 28 September, is expected to be a bitter and closely contested affair. Political analysts believe the country's fourth multiparty poll since it emerged from 27 years of one-party rule in 1991 will be a hard-fought contest for the incumbent, President Levy Mwanawasa of the Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD), who is seeking a second and final term of office.

11.09.2006 Etelä-Afrikassa on julkaistu hi-viruksesta ja aidsista kertova sarjakuvakirja, jossa on puhekuplien sijasta viittomakielisiä kuvia. Kirjan aiheisiin kuuluvat myös seksuaalinen väkivalta ja seksuaalioikeudet. HIV/AIDS-aktiivi Judge Edwin Cameron totesi kirjan julkistamistilaisuudessa, että kuurot ovat edelleen kielellisesti, sosiaalisesti ja taloudellisesti syrjäytynyt ryhmä, eivätkä he ole saaneet riittävästi aiheeseen liittyvää tietoa.

Boscimani nella riserva del Kalahari - da APM
07.09.2006 Il lungo processo intentato dai Boscimani contro il Governo del Botswana è giunto alle sue fasi finali. Davanti a un gruppo di Boscimani arrivato ad ascoltare il dibattimento conclusivo, Gordon Bennett, loro avvocato, ha dichiarato che i Boscimani hanno il diritto legalmente riconosciuto di occupare e utilizzare la loro terra. Bennett ha argomentato che i Boscimani Gana e Gwi "hanno un diritto di occupazione e uso delle loro terre che deriva loro dall'aver vissuto per lungo tempo". Vittime delle espulsioni forzate che li costringevano ad abbandonare la propria terra nella riserva del Kalahari (Central Kalahari Game Reserve), 240 San, popolo indigeno del deserto del Kalahari, si sono rivolti nell'aprile 2002 alla Corte Suprema del Botswana.

Lesotho: la diga di Katse - da impregilo.it
06.09.2006 La “nuova” Impregilo ha ammesso le responsabilità della vecchia società nel processo per corruzione in merito all’aggiudicazione di appalti per il Lesotho Highlands Water Project, il progetto di gestione delle acque più importante al mondo dopo la diga delle Tre Gole in Cina. Per aver interferito al corso della giustizia, impedendo l’acquisizione di una serie di documenti che avrebbero fatto luce sui pagamenti illeciti eseguiti negli anni novanta dall’intermediario della “vecchia” Impregilo, il tribunale del piccolo Paese africano ha imposto all’importante impresa di costruzioni italiana il pagamento della somma di 15 milioni di rand, ovvero circa 1,5 milioni di euro - riporta la Campagna per la Riforma della Banca mondiale (CRBM). In due sentenze precedenti, verso la canadese Acres International e la tedesca Lahmeyer, il tribunale aveva già emesso condanne a pagamenti di sanzioni per aver versato mazzette al fine di aggiudicarsi l’appalto.

06.09.2006 Jos uudet HIV-tartunnat eivät vähene ja lääkehoito yleisty Namibiassa, HIV-epidemia vaikuttaa dramaattisesti Namibian väestön kokoon ja rakenteeseen tulevaisuudessa.
