KEEP PAMBAZUKA FREE AND INDEPENDENT! Pambazuka News 829: From Berlin 1885 to G20 Compact with Africa ------------------------------ 07 July 2017 CONTENTS: 1. Features <http://www.pambazuka.net/en/issue.php/current/#cat_1> 2. Announcements <http://www.pambazuka.net/en/issue.php/current/#cat_3> ------------------------------ *Features* ------------------------------ G20 Compact with Africa in Berlin: Implications for EU-Africa relations <https://www.pambazuka.org/democracy-governance/g20-compact-africa-berlin-implications-eu-africa-relations>Marco Zoppi <https://www.pambazuka.org/taxonomy/term/8627>The proposed formula contains appealing guidelines for initiating economic development in Africa, but it does not address long-term stability and protection from risks and global volatility. Risks are only understood as risks for the investors. Thus, this development strategy embraces the prevailing neoliberalism that re-enacts colonialism. Tyranny of the majority in Biya’s Cameroon <https://www.pambazuka.org/democracy-governance/tyranny-majority-biya%E2%80%99s-cameroon>Peter Wuteh Vakunta <https://www.pambazuka.org/taxonomy/term/5367>Cameroon is an Orwellian *Animal Farm *where the English-speaking minority is brutally subjugated by the Francophones. The Cameroon Anglophone Problem raises pertinent questions about shared governance, participatory democracy, national identity and language policy. But the 35-year-old dictatorship of Biya pays no attention to these questions. Global Africa 2063: Education for reconstruction and transformation <https://www.pambazuka.org/pan-africanism/global-africa-2063-education-reconstruction-and-transformation>*Final communique of the 2nd Kwame Nkrumah Pan-African Intellectual and Cultural Festival* It was the goal of the festival to offer an ideal platform for a review and critical re-assessment of urgent tasks necessary to deepen the technical and intellectual skills needed for training the next cadre of thinkers and practitioners. The festival served as a vehicle for reflection and a springboard for new research efforts to promote Pan-Africanism and structural transformation of the African world. Why Africans have no land in South Africa <https://www.pambazuka.org/human-security/why-africans-have-no-land-south-africa>Motsoko Pheko <https://www.pambazuka.org/taxonomy/term/6519>The long settlement of colonialists in South Africa by force of arms has not passed any right to them to own this African land at the expense of its rightful owners. It does not matter how long Europeans have been settlers here. Azania remains the land of African people by right. Dreaming of a sustainable and corruption-free South Africa <https://www.pambazuka.org/democracy-governance/dreaming-sustainable-and-corruption-free-south-africa>Dhiru Soni <https://www.pambazuka.org/taxonomy/term/9697>It was Michelangelo, the world famous sculptor, painter, architect and poet who once articulated that, “Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it”. All it required was imagination. So, join me in a journey of imagination about South Africa. The bad movies and even worse politics on show in South Africa <https://www.pambazuka.org/democracy-governance/bad-movies-and-even-worse-politics-show-south-africa>Gerard Boyce <https://www.pambazuka.org/taxonomy/term/9714>It is not clear what genre the movie unfolding in the South African landscape falls under. Is it a thriller whose plot revolves around the heist of the political system? Or a horror movie, filled with macabre scenes of zombies feasting on the flesh of a dying state? No matter the genre, this is one movie guaranteed to keep South Africans glued to their screens. Can an English artist use classical Nigerian art as he likes? <https://www.pambazuka.org/arts-books/can-english-artist-use-classical-nigerian-art-he-likes>*Reaction to Damien Hirst’s use/misuse of Ife art image*Kwame Opuku <https://www.pambazuka.org/author/kwame-opuku>The insensitivity of many Westerners in the question of looted artefacts or artefacts acquired under dubious circumstances is astonishing. Hirst and other Western artists can derive inspiration from the looted artefacts kept in Western museums, which they can visit anytime they want. But where can African artists derive such inspiration when iconic African objects are all kept away in Western capitals they can’t visit? Marcus Garvey’s economic philosophy has a capitalism problem <https://www.pambazuka.org/pan-africanism/marcus-garvey%E2%80%99s-economic-philosophy-has-capitalism-problem>Ajamu Nangwaya <https://www.pambazuka.org/taxonomy/term/7073>In spite of the positive elements of economic Garveyism, it is not appropriate for African liberation in the 21st century. Garvey’s economic development approach was based on reproducing the exploitative system of capitalism, which would continue to oppress the Afrikan working-class. Egyptian president ratifies transfer of two islands to Saudi Arabia <https://www.pambazuka.org/land-environment/egyptian-president-ratifies-transfer-two-islands-saudi-arabia>*Territory has been under administrative control of the North African state since 1906*Abayomi Azikiwe <https://www.pambazuka.org/taxonomy/term/5740>As early as 1954, Egypt claimed its sovereignty over Tiran and Sanafir before the United Nations Security Council, stating that the islands were part of the delimitation of territory dividing Egypt from the Ottoman Empire in 1906. The decision to hand over the two islands is clearly related to the financial support provided by Riyadh to Egypt in recent years. Fidel Castro: A lesson for African leaders <https://www.pambazuka.org/pan-africanism/fidel-castro-lesson-african-leaders>Akyaaba Addai-Sebo <https://www.pambazuka.org/taxonomy/term/5178>Namibia is the only African country that conferred upon Castro its highest national honour. This is a big shame for Africa. Castro personally and the people of Cuba made great sacrifices for African liberation. The African Union should honour Castro and deliberately seek to deepen ties with the Cuban people. Magufuli’s war on teen mothers contradicts Tanzania’s national and regional commitments <https://www.pambazuka.org/gender-minorities/magufuli%E2%80%99s-war-teen-mothers-contradicts-tanzania%E2%80%99s-national-and-regional>Dinah Musindarwezo <https://www.pambazuka.org/author/dinah-musindarwezo>When girls are denied the opportunity to education, it limits their chances to access other opportunities including decent employment, leadership and information and to make informed choices. Girls who drop out of school are also likely to end up in child marriages. Mozambique: Independent examiners to investigate JICA´s conduct over ProSavana <https://www.pambazuka.org/global-south/mozambique-independent-examiners-investigate-jica%C2%B4s-conduct-over-prosavana>Boaventura Monjane <https://www.pambazuka.org/taxonomy/term/9362> The investigation represents an important opportunity to deepen the debate on the controversial program and allow public reflection on the models of developments that have been imposed in Mozambique. ------------------------------ *Announcements* ------------------------------ Celebrating Buchi Emecheta: A special issue of Pambazuka News <https://www.pambazuka.org/announcements/celebrating-buchi-emecheta-special-issue-pambazuka-news>Pambazuka News calls for articles for a special issue on the legacy of this eminent Nigerian-born writer, considering her reflections on and representations of both the personal and political elements which shaped the experiences of Africa and its diaspora. Towards “silencing the guns by the year 2020 <https://www.pambazuka.org/towards-%E2%80%9Csilencing-guns-year-2020> A call for clear and tangible measures for addressing impunity for conflict-related violations in Africa . This statement calls on the 29th Assembly of the African Union heads of state and government to outline clear and tangible measures for addressing impunity for gross violations and abuses of international human rights and crimes under international law by parties to conflicts in Africa. *Link <https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/afr01/6628/2017/en/>* Pambazuka Android App is now on Google Play Store <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pambazuka.org&hl=en> As a way to reach more people and to make your experience with Pambazuka News better, we have developed an android app as another tool to create a better reading experience with mobile devices.
