One person can make a difference in the fight to stop mass rape in conflict zones. François Picard’s panel includes a colleague of Congolese gynecologist Denis Mukwege, who has been awarded the EU's Sakharov Prize For Freedom of Thought and looks at the political momentum borne of the work done to heal and repair lives at his Bukavu clinic.
Up to 20 million people face starvation in Yemen, Somalia, South Sudan and northeast Nigeria. Each case has this in common, conflict, the breakdown of public services and in the case of South Sudan, government withholding food to opposition-dominated areas. How to break the cycle that in the case of Somalia has endured for more than a quarter-century? How to stop the war in Yemen? Can there be a holistic plan that makes these nations more self-reliant?
It's the third anniversary of independence for Africa's newest nation, South Sudan. With a brutal civil war now in full swing, the outgoing UN representative has pointed the finger at a "self-serving elite" responsible for a looming "man-made famine". What's gone wrong? How much impact are regional players having? And what does it all say about redrawing borders inherited from the colonial era?
PART 2 - Did the new UN Force Intervention Brigade really tip the scales or was it sanctions on neighboring Rwanda? And what happens next? The M23 militia may be gone for now but as long as there's a scramble for mineral wealth in Eastern Congo, other armed factions will come and go.
Did the media create a monster out of the Koran-hating pastor in Florida? Plus, the UN’s role in Africa’s Great Lakes region and France’s defiance over the deportation of Roma Gypsies. This Fridays's guests are Eric Pfanner of the International Herald Tribune, Régis Le Sommier of news magazine Paris Match, François D’Alançon of French Catholic daily La Croix and Gerry Feehily of European webzine presseurop.eu .
Jusque-là, seules les discothèques et les épiceries de nuit devaient proposer des éthylotests à leurs clients. Cette obligation va bientôt s'étendre à tous les magasins qui vendent de l'alcool. Mais Julien Chivé, caviste bordelais, n'est pas vraiment convaincu. "Je trouve que ça ne sert pas à grand-chose. Les gens savent bien qu'après deux verres, il faut s'arrêter si on veut reprendre la voiture. Et les clients rencontrés ce jeudi matin ne voient pas non plus l'intérêt d'en acheter. "Ca me semble absurde", lance l'un d'eux. "De toute façon, après deux verres, on sera positif, donc c'est à chacun de se gérer", explique un autre.Dans l'épicerie de Virgine Matheron, à Talence (Gironde), il est difficile de trouver une place pour les éthylotests. La gérante doit enlever des produits et envisage surtout des coûts supplémentaires. En effet, dans le supermarché Carrefour City, qui en commercialise depuis un an, ces produits ne sont pas très populaires. "On en a vendu trois en un an", confie le gérant. Près de 50 000 commerçants devraient proposer des éthylotests à partir du 1er juillet, sous peine d'une amende de 675 euros.
