Sudan: domani sara' frustata giornalista in pantaloni

KHARTOUM - Sarà frustata domani la giornalista sudanese condannata per aver indossato i pantaloni, una tenuta considerata indecente secondo i canoni islamici e che tre settimane fa è costata la stessa pena ad altre dieci donne.Lubna Ahmed al-Hussein, che scrive per il giornale di sinistra Al-Sahafa e lavora per la missione delle Nazioni Unite in Sudan (Unmis), era stata fermata all'inizio di luglio a Khartoum mentre portava i pantaloni."Le autorità mi hanno telefonato - ha detto la giornalista - e mi hanno detto che domani devo comparire alle 10:00 (le 8:00 in Svizzera) davanti al giudice". "E' importante che la gente sappia quello che accade", ha aggiunto la donna chiedendo ai giornalisti di essere presenti quando si presenterà e sarà frustata. "Mi daranno 40 frustate e mi imporranno una multa di 250 sterline sudanesi", circa 80 euro, ha aggiunto.La giornalista aveva raccontato che il 3 luglio mentre si trovava al ristorante c'era stata un'irruzione della polizia e lei con altre 12 donne in pantaloni erano state portate al commissariato. Secondo Lubna Hussein, dieci donne erano state convocate dalla polizia due giorni più tardi e ciascuna di loro aveva ricevuto dieci frustate.

صحفية سودانية " تواجه عقوبة 40 جلدة"
تمثل الصحفية السودانية لبنى احمد حسين اليوم الاربعاء أمام محكمة في الخرطوم، لمواجهة تهمة ارتداء ملابس تخدش الحياء العام، كانت الشرطة قد وجههتا اليها، وعقوبتها 40 جلدة.
وكانت لبنى التي تكتب في جريدة الصحافة اليسارية التوجه، وتعمل بالقسم الاعلامي بالامم المتحدة في السودان، قد قبض عليها مطلع الشهر الجاري بسبب ارتدائها بنطال.
وقالت لبنى " انها تلقت اتصالا هاتفيا من السلطات يقول انني ينبغي ان امثل الساعة العاشرة بالتوقيت المحلي صباح الاربعاء امام القاضي".
وكانت الصحفية السودانية قد قامت بطبع بطاقات دعوة لكافة الإعلاميين والصحفيين لحضور جلسة محاكمتها، ودعت الإعلاميين أيضا إلى حضور تنفيذ الحكم في حال صدوره.
وقالت لبنى انه " من المهم ان يعرف الناس ما الذي سيحدث". " سوف يجلدوني 40 مرة، وسيغرموني ايضا 250 جنيه سوداني ( 100 دولار)".
وقالت لبنى انها كانت في مطعم في الثالث من يوليو/ تموز الجاري عندما دخلت الشرطة المكان واقتادتها هي و12 سيدة اخرى يرتدين البنطال الى قسم الشرطة".
ووفقا لرواية لبنى فان عشر سيدات قد استدعين الى قسم الشرطة في اليوم التالي حيث جلدت كل منهن 10 عشر جلدات، ومن بينهن سيدات ينتمين الى جنوب السودان الذي لا تطبق فيه الشريعة الاسلامية.
احالة للقضاء
الا ان لبنى أصرت على استدعاء محامي فأحيلت اوراقها إلى محكمة مختصى للنظر في القضية بحيث يتم تنفيذ حكم الجلد فور صدوره.
ويذكر أن لبنى حسين تكتب عمودا شهيرا بالصحف السودانية تنتقد فيه الأوضاع السودانية وتوجه انتقادات لاذعة للحكومة السودانية وللمتشددين الإسلاميين على حد السواء.
وكانت الشبكة العربية لمعلومات حقوق الإنسان قد اعربت عن بالغ قلقها إزاء قرار إحالة الصحفية السودانية المعارضة .
واعتبرت عبير سليمان مديرة البرامج بالشبكة أن الحكومة السودانية لجات إلى هذه الاتهامات لضيقها من كتابات الصحفية المعارضة.
وطالبت المنظمة الحقوقية المنظمات الدولية المهتمة بحرية الصحافة والمدافعة عن حقوق المرأة بتأييد لبنى في قضيتها ووصفت المحاكمة بأنها غير عادلة وتنتهك كافة المواثيق الدولية التى تدافع عن حرية المرأة وحرية الصحافة.

Abyei e finta la guerra su Petrolio!



Sudan: Ue, bene decisione Aia su confini Aybei ora le parti la applichinoBruxelles, 22 lug. - (Aki) -
L'Ue esprime "soddisfazione" per il fatto che i due partner di governo in Sudan, il Congresso nazionale e il Movimento popolare per la liberazione del Sudan, hanno accolto la risoluzione di oggi della Corte d'arbitrato internazionale dell'Aia sulla ridefinizione dei confini della regione centrale di Aybei. In un comunicato, l'Unione Europea ha definito la sentenza "importante per il Sudan" in quanto rappresenta un passo avanti sulla via dell'implementazione dell'accordo di pace siglato nel 2005 tra il governo di Khartoum e il Movimento popolare. L'Ue, si legge nel comunicato, "esorta le parti sudanesi a usare la loro influenza e a lavorare per applicare la risoluzione di oggi in modo pacifico".

Dag l’immigrato e l’inferno libico

PER CAPIRE
Dag l’immigrato e l’inferno libico
Per Doc 3, va in onda su Raitre l’interessante documentario «Come un uomo sulla terra». Il film di Andrea Segre, documenta, con la viva voce degli immigrati africani (foto), le brutali modalità con cui la Libia controlla i flussi migratori. Esemplare al riguardo, la storia di Dag, studente di Addis Abeba in Etiopia, che a causa della forte repressione politica nel suo Paese, decise di emigrare in Italia. Dopo aver attraversato il deserto tra Sudan e Libia, l’inferno: non solo per il cinismo dei passeur che gestiscono i viaggi per mare, ma anche per le violenze della polizia libica, responsabile di arresti indiscriminati e disumane deportazioni.Doc 3 Raitre, ore 0.05
Film about immigrants why not about those who had success and zeal why all about people of miserable and poor facts??

Kenya to Be Linked to Third Telecommunications Cable (Update1)
By Sarah McGregor
July 6 (Bloomberg) -- An undersea telecommunications cable linking Kenya with 21 nations is expected to be operational by next July, said Chris Wood, chief executive officer of the West Indian Ocean Cable Co.
The $260 million East Africa Submarine Cable System will be the third fiber-optic cable connecting the East African country to the outside world. The link, with the capacity to carry 1.4 terabytes of data per second, may slash prices by as much as 80 percent and make connection speeds as much as five times faster, Wood said in an interview on July 3 in Nairobi, the capital.
“We are going to very quickly see a reduction in prices, better quality and improved connectivity especially in landlocked nations,” said Wood.
Kenya currently has 3 million Internet users out of a total population of 37.9 million people, according to the Web site of Internet World Stats. The penetration rate of 7.9 percent compares with 5.6 percent for the whole of Africa, it said.
The East African cable, known as EASSy, will first be installed in Mozambique, followed by the construction of landing stations at ports in Kenya and neighboring Sudan, Wood said.
Paris-based Alcatel-Lucent and Tyco Telecommunication have the contracts to manufacture and lay the 10,800-kilometer (6,712-mile) cable under the sea. The link will stretch from South Africa north to Sudan, including nations such as Namibia, Lesotho, Ethiopia, Zambia and Burundi, to Europe, he said.
Shareholders
WIOCC’s shareholders include 12 African telecommunications companies such as Dalkom of Somalia, Gilat Satcom Nigeria and Telkom Kenya Ltd. Other investors in the EASSy project include British Telecommunications Plc, France Telecom and Telkom South Africa Ltd., according to WIOCC’s Web site.
The completion of EASSy will follow the installation of two rival undersea fibre-optic cables, both of which are set to become operational later this year.
East Africa currently depends on satellite connections for Internet and telephone calls, which can be expensive and slow compared with high-speed submarine cables.
Seacom Ltd., a Mauritian company, plans to switch on its connection on July 23, Chief Executive Officer Brian Herlihy said on June 24. The $650 million cable will link South Africa, Mozambique, Madagascar, Tanzania, Kenya and Ethiopia to India and Europe.
The East African Marine System, which runs from Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates to the Kenyan port of Mombasa, is due to be switched on in September, Chief Commercial Officer Peter Arina said in an interview on June 15.
Shareholders of the $82 million project include Safaricom Ltd., the Kenyan government, Emirates Telecommunication Technology Ltd., Telkom Kenya, Kenya Data Networks Ltd. and Econet Wireless Kenya Ltd.
