Dec 14, 2010 USA/Africa: Wikileaks Highlights, 1
For Africa, as for elsewhere in the world, the cables released by
Wikileaks - so far less than 1% of the full set - provide valuable
nuance, some embarrassment, and confirmation of many suspicions by
exposing a wide variety of reports by diplomats. The attempt to
silence Wikileaks should be rejected. It is all the more
important, however, that the cables should be used with the same
caution that competent journalists or historians should apply to
any other source.
May 25, 2010 Ethiopia: Democracy Deferred
"Behind an orderly facade, the government pressured, intimidated
and threatened Ethiopian voters, ...Whatever the results, the most
salient feature of this election was the months of repression
preceding it." - Rona Peligal, acting Africa director at Human
Rights Watch.
Feb 5, 2008 Africa: Dramatic Anti-Malaria Results
New anti-malaria interventions, when applied together, can have
dramatic results, according to a new World Health Organization
study. The study reported declines in cases in children under five
of 60% in Ethiopia, 64% in Rwanda, 29% in Zambia, and 13% in Ghana,
between the period 2000-2005 and the year 2007. The greater impact
in Ethiopia and Rwanda was clearly associated with massive
campaigns of free distribution of long-lasting insecticidal-treated
bednets.
