CHOKRI BELAID'S SHOCKING ASSASSINATION

A bullet in the heart of the Tunisian revolution?

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?

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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. There is a widely publicised campaign by civil

society to clean up government. But what many may not know is that

sections of civil are themselves not so clean
