30.08.2005 L’occidente è partito da una concezione paternalistica (presupposto culturale del colonialismo e del razzismo) esemplificata dalla visione dell’Africa come “fardello dell’uomo bianco” per poi finire, ai nostri giorni, in un atteggiamento “politically correct” secondo il quale gli africani sono assolti da ogni colpa e le responsabilità per i mali dell’Africa, passati ed attuali, sono tutte attribuite al periodo coloniale e, in ogni caso, ai paesi “ricchi”. E' invece indispensabile un approccio equilibrato. Ai paesi ricchi spetta il dovere di aiutare l’Africa a reggere la sfida posta dalla globalizzazione, a dotarsi delle condizioni per partecipare alla competizione e di creare le condizioni perché il terreno di gioco, e cioè il mercato internazionale, sia praticabile anche per le squadre meno attrezzate. Agli africani, però, spetta l’obbligo di impegnarsi prioritariamente per la pace, la tolleranza e la riconciliazione nei loro paesi. La pace, infatti, è l’unico, vero e indispensabile presupposto per il binomio “sviluppo-democrazia”.

23.08.2005 What is the actual "state of play" in Geneva? Civil society groups that regard the coming WTO Ministerial in Hong Kong as condemned to producing a deal that can only be detrimental to the interests of developing countries were cheered by the failure of the recent World Trade Organization (WTO) General Council meeting in late July to arrive at substantive agreements in any of the critical areas of negotiations: agriculture, non-agricultural products, and services.

progetto Mose a Venezia - da salute-ambiente.it
19.08.2005 A Venezia si è costituita un'assemblea permanente contro il MOSE, il sistema di dighe mobili che danneggerà irremediabilmente la laguna e farà spendere inutilmente una quantità vergognosa di denaro pubblico, senza poi riuscire ad essere utile per quello che si propone di fare, cioè difendere Venezia dalle Acque alte. Per questo viene promossa una petizione che chiede la sospensione dei lavori del progetto Mose perchè sono ritenuti in contrasto con le vigenti norme italiane e con un devastante impatto ambientale e paesaggistico: sbancamento di 8 milioni di mc dei fondali consolidatisi in 6.000 anni, 12.000 pali di fondazione, enormi cassoni di base per impianti e tunnel subacquei, enormi cantieri proprio nei punti più preziosi e fragili dei litorali, demolizione e stravolgimento delle dighe ottocentesche, costruzione di inutili e devastanti conche di navigazione e porti rifugio. In alternativa viene chiesto di fare finalmente le opere graduali sperimentali e reversibili per eliminare subito le acque alte e riqualificare la laguna e la città.
