Book Description
Malawi has discovered a mass grave in the north of the country containing the remains of 25 people suspected to be migrants from Ethiopia, police said on Wednesday. "The grave was discovered late on Tuesday but we cordoned it off and started exhuming today. So far, we have discovered 25 bodies," police spokesman said. Police were alerted by villagers in the Mzimba area, about 250 kilometres (155 miles) north of the capital Lilongwe, who stumbled on the grave while collecting wild honey in a forest. Malawi is a popular route for illegal immigrants from East Africa being smuggled to South Africa -- the continent's most industrialised country and a magnet for poor migrants from elsewhere on the continent. Police often catch trucks transporting migrants passing through the country en route to South Africa, via Mozambique. Kalaya said that between January and September this year, authorities had intercepted 221 illegal immigrants, 186 of whom were Ethiopians. Two years ago immigration authorities in neighbouring Mozambique made a grim discovery, finding 64 migrants from Ethiopia dead inside a freight container loaded on a truck. They were presumed to have died from suffocation. A few survivors were among the group. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) chief in Malawi Nomagugu Ncube said they were still gathering information about the latest incident. The IOM report found that close to 51,000 Ethiopian migrants had gone missing since 2016. According to official statistics, 4,265 deaths and 1,707 disappearances from the districts of Hadiya and Kembata Tembaro were recorded along the southern route to South Africa between 2012 and 2019. An overwhelming number of migrants said they had experienced a severe lack of food, water or shelter on their journey, the IOM researchers found. Most had suffered abuse, violence, assault or torture, while one in four had been asked to find additional money for bribes, despite already paying an average of US$5,000 for the journey. So this kind of criminal activity in Africa is unacceptable. Hence African law enforcement agencies - together with the assistance of the International Intelligence Community - must bring the perpetrators of these severe crimes to justice. Furthermore, the International Community must provide greater assistance to disadvantaged communities who are challenged with socioeconomic deprivation - so that abductions, kidnapping and murder through forced migration can be stopped.

A Country without Leadership - Social Political Challenges facing South Africa after Nelson Mandela's Death
Author: Dr. Mark O'Doherty
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1312010525

Languages : en

Book Description
The main theme of this volume is if and how Nelson Mandella's legacy of a just peace can be upheld in South Africa, and how previously unrecognized or infrequently considered social-political challenges, such as the radical left-wing elements in the ANC government, violent crimes caused by poverty, racial tensions, as well as a general lack of leadership in South Africa after Nelson Mandella's death, can be overcome. But this book is not only a social-political study of post- apartheid South Africa; it also contains autobiographical accounts, of a deeply profound but also humorous nature, emphasizing the strong bond of empathy which the author shares with his homeland, South Africa.

Book Description
"Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand history – and then go out and change it." –President Barack Obama Nelson Mandela was one of the great moral and political leaders of his time: an international hero whose lifelong dedication to the fight against racial oppression in South Africa won him the Nobel Peace Prize and the presidency of his country.

He is still revered everywhere as a vital force in the fight for human rights and racial equality. Long Walk to Freedom is his moving and exhilarating autobiography, destined to take its place among the finest memoirs of history's greatest figures. Here for the first time, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela told the extraordinary story of his life -- an epic of struggle, setback, renewed hope, and ultimate triumph. The book that inspired the major motion picture Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.

Book Description
Dear All, In our opinion, bringing Vladimir Putin to Justice would be the right thing to do - and make him resign from office - so that Peace and Harmony can be restored in the International Community. We are also advocating that Russian lawmakers, military officers and civil servants should receive an Amnesty, who participate in restoring Peace between Russia and Ukraine. A continuation of Russia's war in Ukraine will increasingly harm Russia's reputation in the world, and isolate the Russian people economically, socially and culturally - which is unnecessary and can be avoided, if Russia restores peaceful relations with the International Community, which would include the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukrainian territory. Once Peace between Russia and Ukraine has been manifested, we intend to replace NATO with a new International Peacebuilding Alliance (IPA) - where both Russia and the US will have a key and instrumental role. We would like to emphasize, that we are expecting both Russia and the United States to fall in line with this new International Peacebuilding Policy. Once Peace and Prosperity has been restored in the world, I will be quite happy to step down as world leader. But until we reach that stage of Peace and Harmony in the International Community, I suggest we all pull in the same direction: ) We are also advocating the founding of a world organization that is above all other governments - even above the UK, Russia and the US - so that Peace and Prosperity can be manifested in the world. Until Peace on Earth has been manifested, it will be the NGO BTB-Global Peacebuilding which will handle matters - such as bringing the UK, Russia and the United States into a new International Peacebuilding Alliance (IPA). The aim would be, to convince both the US and Russia to work together towards complete denuclearization and world peace - which I am sure will happen in due course of time - provided that we all work together and trust each other, and believe that Peace on Earth is possible. PS: We also would be willing to inspect nuclear submarines - in particular from the UK, Russia and the United States - to ensure that gender equality, good etiquette and gentlemanly conduct is upheld on all hunter-killer submarines, that sail across the Seven Seas: ) God Bless / Бог благословил / Бог благословить / Love and Light Acting president of Российская Федерация, the UK, US and European Union Mark / BTB-Global Peacebuilding 8.

Nelson Mandela: a Very Short Introduction
Author: Elleke Boehmer
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192893440
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring A pathbreaking analysis of the relationship between Mandela the myth, and Mandela the historical figure, looking at the way images, stories, and politics have been combined to create the iconic image of Mandela that we know today. Boehmer explores the long trajectory of Mandela's life, explaining first the historical and political context of the struggle against apartheid in South Africa, and then the post-apartheid period of difficult reconciliation, including the shifts and changes in Mandela's reputation since the millennium. This innovative postcolonial reflection takes on board the more critical revisionist literature on Mandela that has emerged since 2015, looking at responses to his death in 2014, and the 2018 commemorations of the 100th anniversary of his birth. The first edition set a trend in scholarship on Mandela by reading his character and achievements through the lens of his influences, interests, and leading ideas. The second edition extends this focus with a far-reaching critical look at meanings of reconciliation and Mandela's ethic of reciprocity. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Morning in South Africa
Author: John Campbell
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442265906
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
This incisive, deeply informed book introduces post-apartheid South Africa to an international audience. South Africa has a history of racism and white supremacy. This crushing historical burden continues to resonate today. Under President Jacob Zuma, South Africa is treading water. Nevertheless, despite calls to undermine the 1994 political settlement characterized by human rights guarantees and the rule of law, distinguished diplomat John Campbell argues that the country’s future is bright and that its democratic institutions will weather its current lackluster governance. The book opens with an overview to orient readers to South Africa’s historical inheritance. A look back at the presidential inaugurations of Nelson Mandela and Jacob Zuma and Mandela’s funeral illustrates some of the ways South Africa has indeed changed since 1994. Reviewing current demographic trends, Campbell highlights the persistent consequences of apartheid. He goes on to consider education, health, and current political developments, including land reform, with an eye on how South Africa’s democracy is responding to associated thorny challenges. The book ends with an assessment of why prospects are currently poor for closer South African ties with the West. Campbell concludes, though, that South Africa’s democracy has been surprisingly adaptable, and that despite intractable problems, the black majority are no longer strangers in their own country.

ISBN: 0815732813
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
“America First” is “America Alone” Foreign policy is like physics: vacuums quickly fill. As the United States retreats from the international order it helped put in place and maintain since the end of World War II, Russia is rapidly filling the vacuum. Federiga Bindi’s new book assesses the consequences of this retreat for transatlantic relations and Europe, showing how the current path of US foreign policy is leading to isolation and a sharp decrease of US influence in international relations. Transatlantic relations reached a peak under President Barack Obama. But under the Trump administration, withdrawal from the global stage has caused irreparable damage to the transatlantic partnership and has propelled Europeans to act more independently. Europe and America explores this tumultuous path by examining the foreign policy of the United States, Russia, and the major European Union member states. The book highlights the consequences of US retreat for transatlantic relations and Europe, demonstrating that “America first” is becoming “America alone,” perhaps marking the end of transatlantic relations as we know it, with Europe no longer beholden to the US national interest.

Pages : 190
Book Description
"e;Only free men can negotiate. Prisoners cannot enter into contracts... I cannot and will not give any undertaking at a time when I and you, the people, are not free. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated."e;-From a letter by Nelson Mandela during his imprisonment, February 10, 1985A revolutionary imprisoned on an island fortress may hold the key to peace in the Middle East. The leader of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), Abdullah calan, is considered by many to be the "e;Kurdish Mandela"e;, courageously issuing proposals for peace even from his prison cell. His ideas on democracy, women's liberation, and freedom have even inspired the remarkable Rojava Revolution in northern Syria. As Turkey descended into tyranny and Syria exploded in civil war, a peace delegation of European politicians, academics, and journalists, led by Nelson Mandela's lawyer and Supreme Court judge Essa Moosa, repeatedly attempted to go to meet with calan at his prison on Imrali Island. Your Freedom and Mine tells the story of these momentous delegations. The book opens with an informative historical overview of the Kurdish Question, leading up until the optimistic opening-and eventual bitter failure-of the peace process in Turkey. It includes official documents and reports from the Imrali Delegations in Istanbul and Diyarbakir/Amed, which involved in-depth interviews with Kurdish and Turkish politicians, media, and civil society regarding the degenerating political and human rights situation. The final section is a collection of testimonials from delegation participants. Your Freedom and Mine offers crucial insight into the dramatic history and current reality of the Kurdish struggle for recognition and peace in Turkey.
