For as long as Eskom continues to see public utilities as an opportunity for private profit, and electricity as a commodity for private consumption rather than a common good, civil society should invoke the tradition of civil disobedience and support communities and popular movements to resist state repression while they organise to appropriate electricity on a non-commodified, safe and carefully disciplined basis. ... read full story / add a comment

Petite Riviere residents seem to welcome the newcomers, but no one knows when the recent arrivals will be able to go back to Port-au-Prince. And so, a household of eight becomes a household of 15.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - More than 60 Puerto Rican medical doctors who appeared on Facebook posing with guns and Haitian earthquake victims are under investigation for possible ethics violations, the U.S. territory's health secretary said Saturday. One was expelled from his political party for unstatesmanlike behavior.

Ethical guidelines prohibit taking pictures of operations or patients unless they serve an academic or medical purpose, Health Secretary Lorenzo Gonzalez said.

Glass crunches underfoot. We walk into downtown Port au Prince, a jagged valley of collapsed stone. A chunk of wall was split loose from the building by the latest earthquake and fell in the street like a giant boulder. People scamper around it. Electric cables sway around us like a web.

We follow the hundreds of Haitians who climb rubble and crawl into nooks to find shoes or clothing or electronics to sell. Need drives everyone here. Need for shelter or food or a future that can be claimed. Need drives them to scale fallen roofs or crawl into shaky crevices. And the need to know the full measure of desperation forces us to follow them. After slipping around the boulder, we walk on a scene of cop waving a gun at two teenagers, a boy and girl, lying face down on the street. He yells orders and they lift their shirts to show they have no stolen goods on them. He tells the girl to leave first and says, "Can't believe I caught a girl stealing." People laugh and then as if hearing a silent alarm, move quickly down the street. ... read full story / add a comment

If there were to be a beauty contest, Sarah Palin (formerly Governor of Alaska) would win over ANC Youth League President, Julius Malema by far in the looks department.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Last week, the price of a small can of rice cost US$2. Tuesday, it costs Haitian US$3.50. A gallon of cooking oil that cost $10 only days ago now fetches US$20.

What will they cost tomorrow? No one knows.

This report - produced for the General Agricultural & Plantation Workers Union of Zimbabwe [GAPWUZ] by the Research and Advocacy Unit [RAU] and the Justice For Agriculture [JAG] Trust - presents the findings of preliminary quantitative and qualitative surveys of workers on commercial farms in the wake of the catastrophic "Land Reform" policy in Zimbabwe. Whilst the companion reports produced from this series of projects have received some attention, this report is the first to deal solely with data gathered from the farm workers themselves. It represents the views of only a small section of the 1.8 million people that lived and worked on Zimbabwe's commercial farms. However, the continued gathering of data means that in time we will be able to paint a detailed picture of the lives of farm workers across the country, as they struggled over the last nine years with State-sponsored invasions, torture, violent assaults, murders, rapes, evictions and other violations of the law and their rights. For the moment, though, the data presented here makes no claim to be statistically representative. ... read full story / add a comment

For hundreds of years it was (and still is) people who look a whole lot like Anderson Cooper who have been doing the real looting in Haiti. It takes a helluva lot of chutzpah for the son of Gloria Vanderbilt to be pointing an accusing finger at anyone in Haiti. ... read full story / add a comment

« La mort aime bien les pauvres », écrivait Le Monde diplomatique en février 2005, après le tsunami qui venait de toucher l’Indonésie, les côtes du Sri Lanka, le sud de l’Inde et de la Thaïlande (1). Il est trop tôt pour établir un bilan du tremblement de terre de niveau 7 sur l’échelle de Richter qui a ravagé le pays le plus pauvre d’Amérique latine, Haïti, le 12 janvier. Mais le pire est à craindre. Pour l’heure, dans l’urgence, il s’agit de chercher et de sauver les victimes, apporter une assistance sanitaire aux survivants, créer des refuges, fournir aliments et eau, tenter d’enrayer les épidémies. Solidarité internationale et aide humanitaire, chacun, de l’Organisation des Nations unies (ONU) aux Etats-Unis en passant par l’Union européenne — et en particulier la France, qui ne peut se soustraire à sa dette historique envers l’île — ou l’Amérique latine se mobilise selon (ou non) ses moyens. ... read full story / add a comment
