Mounira Chaieb The savage murder of Chokri Belaid, one of Tunisia's progressive political figures, brought over a million Tunisians onto the streets of Tunis and other cities for his funeral held on 6 February 2013. The General Workers Union(UGTT) called for a strike, the first in more than thirty years to coincide with the funeral. Tunisians ponder who will be next after such a political assassination? http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/features/86208 ****** RESCUING MALI FROM ISLAMIST MILITANTS Samir Amin The eradication of reactionary political Islam from Mali is the unavoidable necessary condition for reconstruction of the country. But it is not sufficient. And as things stand, the current war will be long, costly and painful and its outcome remains uncertain. http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/features/86212 ****** FRENCH IMPERIALISM MOVES DEEPER INTO MALI Clashes escalate in Gao as warplanes bomb northern mountains Abayomi Azikiwe Despite French military intervention and claims of success in fighting Islamist militias, the conflict in Mali is getting worse. There is also some evidence of imperialist propaganda about the course of events http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/features/86205 ****** KENYA: LESSONS FROM PARTY PRIMARIES IN RIFT VALLEY Analysis of implications for the general elections Ngala Chome and Muthoni Kiguru With political mobilization along ethnic lines going on in Kenya in the present campaigns, it looks likely that the winner of the closely contested presidential election on March 4 will be decided by the regions that do not have strong local parties http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/features/86207 ****** NEOLIBERAL PLAGUE: AIDS AND GLOBAL CAPITALISM Jason Hickel Aids is a symptom of an unjust global order. Mass poverty leaves people with no option other than labour migration and transactional sex, which are the key drivers of HIV transmission in southern Africa http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/features/86206 ****** AFRICA ORPHANED, UNDER GUARDIANSHIP AT WORLD BANK Justice for Blacks Segregation exists in the employment practices and positioning of Africans within the World Bank as a result of racist institutional practice. Africans are muted in the Bank's boardrooms, where strategic policies that have significant bearings on Africa are set and this needs to radically change http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/features/86210 ****** WORLD BANK: ANATOMY OF A CRIMINAL TRIBUNAL Taye Abayre The World Bank and its Tribunal need to be held accountable for the systemic and prolonged violation of human rights of its employees of African descent - a crime condemned by a multitude of international human rights instruments. The Bank's immunity towards these employees should be waived and they should be given another avenue to access justice. http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/features/86211 ****** /\/\//\/\/\//\/\/\//\/\/\//\/\/\//\/\/\//\/\/\//\/\/\//\/\/\//\ 2 Announcements JOB ADVERT: HEAD OF PARTNERSHIPS AND FUNDRAISING African Biodiversity Network The Head of Fundraising will be working closely with the ABN Secretariat to secure funding to enable the continuing work of ABN in accompanying African communities to rebuild their resilience against climate change and other external challenges. http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/Announce/86202 ****** JOB ADVERT: COMMUNICATIONS AND ADVOCACY OFFICER African Biodiversity Network The person will be working closely with the ABN Secretariat to support partners and communities develop and apply their skills in advocacy and that the work with communities is shared among network partners and allies. http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/Announce/86203 ****** JOB ADVERT: REGIONAL MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS COORDINATOR Oxfam Job Reference: INT5972 Job Title: Regional Media and Communications Coordinator Contact email: [email protected] http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/Announce/86209 ****** /\/\//\/\/\//\/\/\//\/\/\//\/\/\//\/\/\//\/\/\//\/\/\//\/\/\//\ 3 Comment & analysis BETWEEN THE LINES OF OBAMA'S MESSAGE TO KENYANS Nathan Wangusi Obama's message to Kenyans centred on the upcoming elections was received well by politicians on the campaign trail. But what many seem to have missed is the fact that the message was loaded with conditional political promises that isolated a particular candidate http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/comment/86215 ****** HOW BISHOP NIRINGIYE'S ANTICORRUPTION CRUSADE LANDED HIM IN CAPTIVITY Vincent Nuwagaba The Ugandan government has been in the news recently over cases of grand corruption.
