Ghana: Britain to help reach final stages of poverty reduction




29 August 2012
Britain will help Ghana to prepare for a future without aid and ensure that the poorest benefit from the country’s record growth, International Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell has said following his first meeting with the new President Mahama.
Speaking from Ghana, he said that if the country can maintain its rapid progress it may no longer need aid, but he warned that a failure to address inequality between the north and the south would delay Ghana’s success in  pulling itself out of poverty.
Andrew Mitchell pledged that aid from Britain will be targeted towards kick starting growth and development in the poorest areas, helping 50,000 entrepreneurs and businessmen to bring their goods to market.
Andrew Mitchell said:
“Ghana is fast becoming a West African success story and shows that well-targeted aid can help to make a lasting difference.

Ghana’s economy has grown well in recent years, but this growth has bypassed many of the poorest. Britain will help ensure Ghana can free itself from poverty for good.”
Over the coming years, aid from Britain will boost education for girls, enable more than 100,000 children who are out of school to receive an education and help to kick-start economic growth by enabling 50,000 local producers in the North of the country to access business services to boost production and bring their products to market.

Rwanda withdraws 280 troops from DR Congo


Rwanda announced Friday it was pulling out 280 of its soldiers from eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where they had been working with DR Congo troops fighting rebel militia there.
"Following consultations with the DRC and MONUSCO (the UN mission there), Rwanda is withdrawing two companies of its special forces...," said a Rwandan defence ministry statement.
They had been operating in Rutshuru, Nord Kivu province, which borders Rwanda and Uganda. The soldiers would be back on Rwanda soil by Saturday, the statement added.
While the statement did not give precise numbers, a company is normally made up of around 140 soldiers.
In Kinshasa, a military spokesman confirmed the news to AFP.
The authorities in DR Congo had told Rwanda they wanted their troops to leave, said Congolese Defence Minister Alexandre Luba Ntamabo.
They were no longer needed to combat the forces active in the region, he added.
Recent summit meetings of the countries in the Great Lakes region, which include Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi and DR Congo, agreed in principle to deploy a "neutral force" of several thousand soldiers in the region. Their task will be to stamp out the activities of the militias plaguing the eastern DR Congo.
Rwandan army spokesman General Joseph Nzabamwita said they had agreed on the pull-out following clashes earlier this year between Congolese troops and the rebels of the M23 movement.
DR Congo accused Rwanda of supporting the M23 rebels, fighters from an earlier rebel movement, the National Congress for the Defence of the People (CNDP), who had been integrated into the Congolese army in 2009 after a peace deal.
They mutinied, claiming that Kinshasa had failed to respect the terms of that deal.
A UN report published in June also said there was ample evidence that Rwanda was actively involved in the M23 rebellion, a claim that Kigali has repeatedly denied.
The announcement of this withdrawal is being seen by some advisers as a bid to ease the tension between the two countries.
The Rwandan troops had been working with their Congolese counterparts since early 2009.

S. African mine carnage reveals anger over inequality

S. African mine carnage reveals anger over inequality

CAPE TOWN — South Africa's mine bloodshed which killed 34 strikers has laid bare anger with persistent poverty and put a damning spotlight on President Jacob Zuma's government, analysts say.

Police opened fire on striking workers Thursday in an escalating stand-off between rival unions that had already killed 10 people days earlier at the North West province mine owned by the world's number three platinum producer Lonmin.

"I really believe the government should have been more proactive," said analyst Susan Booysen of Wits University.

"Here they should have been pre-emptive, getting together, convening stakeholders, and getting together the ministries of labour, mining, and police. I really think this tragedy could have been prevented."

Horrific images of workers being gunned down in the worst police violence since the dawn of democracy in 1994 have left a reeling nation and the world asking how scenes evocative of apartheid brutality could recur in a free South Africa.

"Is it going to force an existential crisis among South Africans? Yes, and I hope it does. It needs to shake up South Africans, and it particular needs to shake up its political and economic elite, who have become too complacent," analyst Adam Habib told AFP.

"I don't think they actually recognised how volatile our society has become, and in sporadic moments, it can flare."

South Africa's workplaces and streets frequently erupt into protests over low wages or a lack of basic services and jobs, with millions of poor blacks still living in shantytowns.

With one of the world's most glaring gaps between rich and poor, the lives of workers have changed little since Nelson Mandela vowed a better life for all.

"The poor are saying 'bugger you'. If you plunder the resources of this country, we are entitled to a share. It's become survival of the fittest in a lot of ways," said Habib who is based at the University of Johannesburg.

"That your political elite must take responsibility for, but also executives in the private sector."

Despite inroads made by black wealth, Africa's biggest economy is still divided along racial lines, with the miners who live in shacks on the world's richest platinum reserves seeing little of the country's mineral riches.

Worryingly for the government which is already trying to quell increasingly militant protests, the economy is failing to grow fast enough to transform frequently trotted out pledges into reality.

"I think we are sitting on a ticking time bomb in South Africa," said Kwandiwe Kondlo of the University of the Free State, who said issues boiled down to poor leadership, governance and lack of coordination.

"There is no proactive governance and you can't have proactive governance if there is no leadership," he said, charging that under President Zuma "the situation actually has gotten worse".

Zuma cut short a foreign trip to travel to the carnage site and announced an inquiry into the deaths for which union leaders and Lonmin bosses have also been slammed.

But his government faces questions over why it did not step in after the first deaths -- which included two police officers -- and fears of a trigger-happy police force that has resumed taking military titles since Zuma took power in 2009.

The internationally condemned shootings join a string of damning reports of public service breakdowns, including a textbook delivery scandal that saw the state hauled to court.

The escalation at Lonmin reflects a tendency to put out fires through crisis management rather than pre-emptive action, said Booysen.

"It does shed a very poor light on government in that it creates the impression that its eye is not on the ball," she said.

"It suggests regrettably that this a government that is not in full touch with developments on the ground."

Ethiopia's Meles Zenawi dies of undisclosed illness

Ethiopia's Meles Zenawi dies of undisclosed illness

Fears for stability after PM's 21-year rule characterised by economic growth and human rights protests from international community

One of Africa's most powerful and divisive leaders, Meles Zenawi of Ethiopia, has died of an undisclosed illness, it has been announced. He was 57.

During his 21-year rule, Meles turned Ethiopia into one of Africa's fastest-growing economies and proved to be a key US ally in the war on terror. But he was also regarded as an authoritarian strongman whose critics suffered persecution, imprisonment and torture.

Meles had not been seen in public for about two months. He failed to attend a meeting of African Union heads of state in the capital, Addis Ababa, last month, raising speculation about his health.He died "abroad" at around 11.40pm on Monday after contracting an infection, state television said on Tuesday.

-“The root cause of the Rwandan tragedy of 1994 is the long and past historical ethnic dominance of one minority ethnic group to the other majority ethnic group. Ignoring this reality is giving a black cheque for the Rwandan people’s future and deepening resentment, hostility and hatred between the two groups.”

-« Ce dont j’ai le plus peur, c’est des gens qui croient que, du jour au lendemain, on peut prendre une société, lui tordre le cou et en faire une autre ».

-“The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.”

-“I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.

-“The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”
