2011 Pray for Peace in Côte d'Ivoire



AFRICA / COTE D 'IVOIRE - 173 people killed and 471 taken from December 16 to 21 according to the UN
Abidjan (Agenzia Fides) - "We expect that the ICC will send a mission to Ivory Coast to establish the liability of each other and that all responsible in one way or another are transferred to The Hague. " It's call Guillaume Soro, Prime Minister Alassane Ouattara's government as part of an interview with a French newspaper.
There is thus a new attempt by the clan Ouattara internationalization of the Ivorian crisis, due to the refusal of the outgoing President Laurent Gbagbo to recognize Ouattara's victory in the second round of presidential elections on 28 November.
Soro also asked the United Nations, the European Union, the African Union and ECOWAS (Economic Community and Development of West African States) the use of force. A solution that is viewed with concern, however, insofar as the Ivorian armed forces, which have been strengthened in recent years have sided with Gbagbo. Ouattara's supporters also complain that their opponents have recourse to paramilitary militias, recruited especially in neighboring countries, especially in Liberia, who have rendered themselves militias responsible for killings and kidnappings of civilians.
According to Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights of the UN, Kyung-Wha Kang, 173 people were killed and 471 arrested in Ivory Coast between 16 and 21 December. During the same period were reported 90 cases of torture and disappearances of 24 persons. Kyung-Wha Kang, has released such data in the presence of 47 members of the Council for Human Rights UN meeting in Geneva in special session to discuss the Ivory Coast.

Brother and abroad


Brother and abroad
Liberty, equality fraternity. This motto, after struggles and hopes of the revolution of 1789, is recorded in gold letters on the frontispiece of our public buildings. It shows three requirements of living together that can not be separated. The nobility of the political task is to give them the body in the grayness of everyday life and in the midst of changing circumstances. We are fortunate to enjoy personal freedom and constitutional democracy in an organized. The "private", so beloved and battered in our society, needs the protection of "public" for the enjoyment of personal space. When governments no longer protect the fundamental freedoms is the scope of personal existence and mutual relations which narrows dramatically. Moreover, equality - Diverse and not standardized - between men and women, between races, between poor and wealthy, is never given at the outset, it displaces each of the positions he has held since it can only be built step by step in order equal opportunities for everyone. (1)
In a famous text The socius and the next (History and Truth, 1955), Paul Ricoeur beautifully analysis aspect of strangeness that characterizes our relations with others far away, the vis-à-vis and one I 'm close. It does this by commenting on the parable of the Good Samaritan. The point of this parable, he says, is that the event This makes the encounter a person to person. "The two men who flout are defined by their social class: the priest, the Levite." They themselves are a living parable "of man in social function, man absorbed in his role, and that social function held at the point of making it unavailable to the surprise of an encounter". The institution they belong to one and the other "blocks" access to the event. The Samaritan is here the category of aliens who are traveling brother, who is not bothered by his role. It is available and travelers to enter the unexpectedness of the encounter. By his compassion for the wounded lying on the roadside, it "is an act beyond the role, character, function."
Fraternity does not just happen in urban societies multicolored where anonymity is the rule. But yet it is this which limits the expansionism of ego, the super powerful and the acrimony of the rich. It is the lifeblood of the social body and gives it warmth. It can not exclude anyone from its horizon and its scope. The fear of the other should not be exacerbated and exploited because it ultimately undermines the foundation for ensuring security for all.
Speaking of these three values, John Paul II has been said during his first visit to France: "Basically, these are Christian ideas." Before him, in 1963, John XXIII in his encyclical Pacem in Terris, (No. 275), noted, using the range of legal: "We will ensure that the predominance given to individuals or groups No installs in the nation privileged positions, in addition, the desire to safeguard the rights of all should not determine a policy which, by a singular contradiction, or would excessively reduce not the full exercise of those rights. "
These openings from the Christian movement and the republican ideal come through a turbulent zone with the stigmatization of Roma facing pressure from public opinion which is traditionally low favorable, as all know who are familiar with these issues. But to blame a whole ethnic group that is playing with fire. A controversy surprises with parliamentarians and EU Commission in Brussels followed. The foreign press is not kind to our country from this momentary return to postures that are sovereignists thought vanished. Roma, these strange foreigners, have become European citizens with the latest EU enlargements. It is by partnering with our partners we can marry freedom, equality and brotherhood to advance the treatment of a difficult problem for all and whose roots go far back in history.

you it advance democracy in Africa?


The Afro -pessimistic see in the current Ivorian crisis further evidence of the failure of Africa to accept democracy. However, the proliferation of free elections in several African countries suggests that people have already taken the road.
Democracy Is not Africa? News Elections in Côte d'Ivoire revives those scenarios in which tumultuous elections often come to an end on the Dark Continent: defeated the incumbent president is trying to extend his term through an electoral hold-up. While the Independent National Commission (INEC), supported by all international observers have declared the loser after a consultation postponed six times in five years, Laurent Gbagbo refuses to bow to the dismay of the international community who requests him to her apron. The candidate of the ruling Ivorian Popular Front (FPI) declared the winner by the State Council headed by one of his relatives was even sworn in on Saturday afternoon, shortly after appointing a new prime minister. For his part, away from the presidential palace, his opponent, Alassane Ouattara, appointed champion of the competition by Ceni has done the same, so that for the same country, we now has two presidents and two prime ministers.

Laurent Gbagbo appears to have chosen to walk in the footsteps of Robert Mugabe and Kenya's Mwai Kibaki. In 2008, the first, ostracized by the international community, which overwhelmed his country of sanctions had largely lost the first round of the presidential election. But "Comrade Bob" had decided to stay in place, boosting multifaceted crises that shook his country already. A similar scenario had sanctioned the presidential election was held in Kenya in late December 2007, where all post-election polls gave the outgoing president, Mwai Kibaki defeated. In Harare such as Nairobi, the leavers had waged a war of attrition with no thank you to their respective rivals, Morgan Tsvangirai and Raila Odinga, against a background of social crisis. They had finally agreed to deal with them in a unity government in the name of social peace.

Benin and Mali precursors respect the verdict of the polls

Laurent Gbagbo will succeed as he peers from Zimbabwe and Kenya to quell the desire for alternation of its citizens? Examples of the three men in any case give grist to the Afro-pessimists who, as was once said former President French President Jacques Chirac, believe that "democracy is a luxury for Africa." However, the efficiency of the democratic game is mixed on the continent. The number of countries formerly governed by authoritarian who settle permanently in the process of alternating characteristic of the great democracies continues to grow. What is not without a major feeding hope.

Consider the case of Benin, formerly known as "sick child of Africa" because of repeated coups. In two decades, countries in West Africa is in its fourth election Presidential whose characters just and democratic have been recognized by all. Three successive presidents since there are in power in an atmosphere of respect for democratic rules significantly. The first to comply with this law of free choice of leader by the people was Kerekou, became head of state for the first time through a coup in 1972. In 1991, following a national conference which had forced him, a year earlier, her freedom-loving people, he acknowledged his defeat in the presidential election, and resigned his seat in stride Nicephore Soglo the opponent. Returned in opposition Kerekou was elected democratically five years later, in 1996, the people who sanctioned the management of Nicephore Soglo. In 2001, Kerekou prevailed again, in an election validated by the international community. Four years ago, Kerekou and Soglo have agreed not to solicit the votes of their fellow citizens. The first was prevented by the restriction to two terms as head of state, while the second, older than 70 years, could no longer candidates. Two constitutional provisions that they have scrupulously respected, paving the way for the election of Boni Yayi, the current head of state. To show that there is life after the honors of the palace, Nicephore Soglo even became mayor of Cotonou, the capital, a position he held since 2002. The same scenario

alternation characterizes the devolution of power to neighboring Mali since the overthrow of the dictator in violence Moussa Traore in 1991. After managing the transition and organized a national conference as he had promised, Army Gen. Amadou Toumani Toure (ATT) merely preside over the transition. After the elections General 1992, he transferred power to a civilian, Alpha Oumar Konare. And if ATT is since 2002 President of his country, he became so by the ballot box, after leaving the army and won two consecutive elections. He recently announced he will not be present, the Basic Law Malian limiting to two the number of presidential term.

In Ghana, democracy also seems to take root permanently. This English-speaking country has yet had its sequence of coups. It is through this that the former President Jerry Rawlings took power. However, it has undertaken reforms modernization recognized by the international community and has voluntarily left his office. Since then, it is the Ghanaian voters choose their president, as they did for the winner of the presidential election last year, John Atta-Mils. Recently, U.S. President, Barack Obama, praised the strength of democracy in this country.

Reality increasingly continental

Three other recent examples confirm this trend towards recognition of the legitimacy of the vote as a means of achieving power. Five years ago, Liberia, English-speaking country devastated by a long war Civil elected Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf to the presidency and made it the first female head of state in Africa. Further east, Botswana, the succession of heads of state is in a very serene atmosphere. So that, without attempting to evict the Bushmen from their ancestral lands of the Kalahari Desert by former President Festus Mogae during his last term which ended in 2008, relatively prosperous country but little media would not have appeared in newspapers used to broadcast the bad news from Africa. Finally, despite protests that marred the election, Guinea that plight of the long dictatorship of President Lansana Conte was able to choose a leader through the ballot box, after two years of military transition chaotic.

It is therefore not inevitable. Even if she trudges to and fro and knowledge of resistance, democracy gets a foothold on the African continent. That may be the sense of history: the great democracies of today had their period of doubt, instability and regression. Only through struggle and sacrifices that people have acquired the right to choose those they wish to preside their destinies. Rene

Tax havens still powerful
A report by the Catholic Committee against Hunger and for development that we purchased, the fight against tax havens has remained virtually a dead letter since the crisis.

At the request of the major industrialized countries, the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) announced in April the "black list" of countries that do not meet international standards taxation. Four criteria define this non-cooperation: insignificant or nonexistent taxes, a tax system opaque, benevolence towards shell companies that allow the repatriation of capital, and lack of trade with other states. This decision came after a G20 meeting in London which had threatened to take sanctions against tax havens, called "black holes" of finance. Gradually, some countries are trying to show their goodwill. Countries are fairly opaque in a list grise.Les Bahamas and Panama, said that BNP Paribas will leave, in part. As for good students, they are entitled to the whitelist. Switzerland is the latest country to the left to join the greylist whitelist. The Swiss confederation, known for its secrecy around money marked the opening of the G20 summit in Pittsburgh last Thursday, signing its twelfth convention. However, secrecy is not lifted completely, because the Swiss citizens will decide on the text by referendum or vote. Nothing should come into force before 2011. Whitelist (states or territories that have implemented international standards by signing at least 12 agreements conform to these standards) Argentina, Australia, Barbados, Canada, China, Cyprus, Republic Czech, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guernsey, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland Island mans Italy, Japan, Jersey, Korea, Malta, Mauritius, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Seychelles, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, UAE, UK, USA, Virgin Islands, Switzerland (who left the gray list since September 24) , Austria, Monaco, Belgium, Bahrain, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Aruba, Netherlands Antilles, Cayman Islands, Luxembourg, San Marino, Grey List: states or territories that have committed to meet international standards but that does not really apply Andorra, Anguilla Antigua, Barbados, Bahamas, Belize, Cook Islands, Dominica, Gibraltar, Grenada, Liberia, Liechtenstein, Marshall Islands, Montserrat, Nauru, Niue, Panama St Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Samoa, Turks and Caicos Islands, Vanuatu, Brunei, Chile, Guatemala, Singapore.

"The British Virgin Islands (which account for 830 000 24 491 inhabitants companies in 2010), Cayman Islands, Luxembourg, Mauritius and the Netherlands account for only 1% of global GDP and 0.27% of the population of the planet, "says the study.

Le terrain de jeu préféré des multinationales
Depuis le1er mars, les entreprises françaises implantées dans l’un des 18 paradis fiscaux référencés par le gouvernement (lire ci-contre) are liable to financial penalties. "These provisions apply only to countries that have no tax treaty with France," says Jean Merckaert, author of the report. However, no sanctions, a priori, for firms located in countries with a cooperation agreement with Paris. "And as these states are unable to provide reliable information on companies established on their territory, said John Merckaert for the latter, the risk is virtually zero. "Especially since they are often aided by" number of banks, lawyers and businessmen. "
Anxious to relieve their accounts, pay lower costs for headquarters or less of property rights, for example, multinational companies have understood the advantages of locating in such territories to taxation sometimes opaque. Among the 50 leading European, three (the Lloyds British, German Bosch and French Total) give virtually no information on their subsidiaries. The 48 others, they declare 4706 subsidiaries in tax havens, the study tells us. French companies - some of which are public! - Are no exception to the rule.
