How long will this farce of pretend government in the Ivory Coast be tolerated by the other African states?
Ouattara cannot control the warlords who actually run his country. He admitted during his visit to Washington that he is afraid for his life. That is why he spends most of his time out of the country on ‘missions’ which keep him away from the assassin’s bullets.

Just exactly what influence Omar “The Secret Minister” Suleiman retains over the military junta that rules Egypt is a question of utmost importance for those who live on the banks of the Nile River.
Behind the scene and still pulling the strings, Suleiman the Secret remains a danger whose continued influence will be ignored at the peril of those who rejoiced at Mubaraks downfall.

The New York Times congratulated movie actor George Clooney, an ardent campaigner for Southern Sudanese independence, on his victory, though many African people thought that the Sudanese people might have more rightly been at the center of the South’s Independence Day story.
Others emphasized the U.S. and allies’ interest in managing Sudan’s vast oil reserves. AfrobeatRadio’s Ann Garrison has more.

In a democracy, the government and elected representatives are required to adhere to set laws and rules in order to govern properly and promote the interests and wellbeing of the people.
In this regard, Thomas Paine, in his 1776 essay, ‘Common Sense’ wrote: “For as in absolute governments the King is law, so in free countries the law ought to be the King; and there ought to be no other.”

The Horn of Africa may be the Horn of Hunger for millions but in the midst of all the drought, starvation and suffering, there lives and grows an island of food security, little Eritrea and its five million people.
Unfortunately, none of this may be enough to prevent the UN inSecurity Council from passing even tougher sanctions against Eritrea in an attempt to damage the Eritrean economy and, inevitably, hurt the Eritrea people.

On July 22, 2011, thirty-two year-old Norwegian Anders Behring Breivik massacred 77 people in Norway. Hollywood released the new Captain America film the same week.
Meanwhile, ordinary people in the developed and underdeveloped countries suffer more and more as the captains of industry profit from massive global high-tech warfare and the manufacture of misery.

There are two important aspects of this conflict: (1) the unnecessary debate on the subject of debt limits as there are sufficient safeguards against its abuse in current statutes and judicial decisions; and (2) the rise of a resurgent form of Southern racism and fundamentalism masquerading as a ‘Tea Party’.

Shame on the Associated Press for this report, reproduced word for word by news outlets all over the world. This is the nearly identical report that the AP has been regurgitating about the Democratic Republic of the Congo for years. They probably pulled it out of a computer file and changed the date, and perhaps the location of the refugee camp:

NATO Friday night attacked the Libyan television station in Tripoli killing three people and injuring 15 others in direct violation of their own UN Resolution 1973 which stipulates they may attack military targets “to protect civilians and civilian populated areas under threat of attack in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, including Benghazi” and to impose a ‘no-fly zone’.

This historic breakthrough has been accomplished in Eritrea by the use of good old fashioned public health methods, that tried and true science that is responsible for the major increase in longevity that took place in the 20th century. That’s right, public health, meaning first of all, clean drinking water, sanitation and hygiene has been the biggest breakthrough in human health in history, not antibiotics or vaccines or drugs of any sort.
