Le Congo révise ses contrats miniers

Jooneed Khan : Le Congo révise ses contrats miniers (La Presse)

Le Congo-Kinshasa a décidé de renégocier quatre contrats miniers impliquant des firmes canadiennes et d’en résilier deux autres au terme d’un long réexamen, marqué par des pressions de la société civile et des coulages, des conventions conclues dans le chaos des années 90. lire

Latest AMANDLA show: Kibale Health Project and Liberian refugees in Ghana

A look at the Kibale Health and Conservation Project (KHCP).

On this edition of Amandla, we focussed on McGill’s involvement in Africa and some initiatives that faculty and students have undertaken in recent years to address health issues in the areas where they are working. We specifically discussed the KHCP – an initiative spearheaded by Dr. Lauren and Colin Chapman from the departments of Biology and Anthropology at McGill University. A major goal of the KHCP is the construction of a medical clinic just inside the main gates of Kibale National Park in South-Western Uganda.

To discuss the project, we are joined by Jesse Jenkinson, a recent graduate of McGill, and member of the KHCP. Since graduating, Jesse has been actively involved in the KHCP, and recently returned to Uganda to assist with the construction of the clinic and other logistic aspects of the project. We discussed the goals of the health centre, recent progress and challenges that lie ahead.

Mugabe could be history

Mary Ndlovu (2008-03-24)

Mary Ndlovu argues that in spite of the obstacles placed by ZANU-PF, Zimbabwean people must at a minimum strive to vote Mugabe out of power and elect a leadership that will unite Zimbabwe, rebuild the economy and deliver justice and healing as opposed to revenge.

Anyone trying to predict the outcome of the Zimbabwean election must be either bold or foolhardy or both. No sooner has a prophesy gone to press than a new factor slips into the equation and everything has to be re-calculated. Commentators are reduced to scenarios – and the number of scenarios required to cover all eventualities and twists of fate multiplies by the day.
