Could GM crops help feed Africa?
Related to country: Kenya

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

If there is one place on earth where farmers have it hard, it is sub-Saharan Africa. Most people are farmers, but not for profit - to survive. Africa is the one continent that cannot feed itself. When you see children picking away at the arid, red, African soil with the most rudimentary tools, it is clear that African agriculture can use all the help it can get. ........

MKASA WA MTETEMEKO WA ARDHI HUKO UCHINA
Katibu mkuu wa Umoja wa mataifa Ban Ki-Moon, ameipongeza Nchi ya Uchina kwa uongozi wake mwema kutokana na mtetemeko wa ardhi wa hivi karibuni katika jimbo la Sichuan.
Alikuwa akiongea katika mji wa Yingxiu ambao umeadhirika sana na mtetemeko huu wa ardhi. Vile vile, waziri mkuu wa Uchina Wen Jiabao amesema ya kuwa, kufikia sasa vifo vya watu vimepita elfu sitini na vyaweza kufikia elfu themanini.
Bwana Ban amesema kuwa umoja wa mataifa uko tayari kutoa misaada zaidi.
Hapo mbeleni, afisa wa kichina alisema kuwa mitambo hamsini ya kinuklia ilikuwa imezikwa. Taarifa kutoka kwa waziri mdgo wa mazingira Wu Xiaoqing inasema kuwa, thelathini na tano kati ya mitambo hii imezikwa katyika mawe na majumba mabovu. Ingawa Bwana Wu amedhibitisha kuwa hakuna mitambo yoyote ya kinuklia iliyofuja, wanayansi wanasema ya kuwa huenda ikawa madini ya kinulkia yalitoka katika hospitali viwanda ama vituo vya kufanyia uchunguzi lakini si vifaa ama vyombo vya kivita
Bwana Ban ambaye amezuru Burma anatafuta misaada zaidi kwa wahasiriwa wa kibunga Nargis. Jumamosi iliyopita alikifungua rasmi kituo cha misaada cha kibunga huko Thailand.
Karibu na Sichuan, kulikotokea mtetemeko wa ardhi, aliwapongeza wenyeji wa Yingxiu, kwa jitihada waliozoweka kuwashughulikia wahasiriwa.
“Serikali ya Uchina iemjaribu iwezavyo na imeonyesha uongozi na jitihada katika mkasa huu,” Alisema Bwana Ban. Aliendelea kusema kuwa watu wote duniani wanaiunga na wataisaidia Uchina katika mkasa huu.
“Tukiungana, tutashida,” Alinakiliwa na ripotikutoka kwa APNA [Associated Press News Agency] “ Dunia nzima iko nyuma yenu na inawaunga.”
Zaidi ya watu milioni tano wameachwa bila makao kwasababu ya makasa huu.
Ijumaa, katika jimbo liliadhirika zaidi la Li Chengyuu, gavana msaidizi aliitisha misaada zaidi ya mahema na kufumbua rasmi mpango wa miaka mitatu wa kujenga jimbo hilo.
Viongozi wa kichina pia wamebuni kikapu cha fedha cha kuwezesha ujenzi kitakachogharimu dola bilioni kumi.
Serikali pia imetoa ombi kwa benki humo nchini kufutilia mbali madeni ya wahasiriwa ili kuiimarisha tena uchumi wa Sichuan.

Is a sad reality!
Related to country: Kenya
About the book: "Land Without Thunder"

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

The other day when I wrote an article about being displaced in church I got none of your reactions but today, there are so many displaced people all over… and the latest being in South Africa.
And I was wondering to myself as I listened to those people talking about how they cannot get jobs because of the other black Africa. Is it the lack of opportunity or knowledge? Is it the lack of capability or knowhow? Is it the lack of learning or a good education? Are we to blame for all the injustices in these world? Is it the mistake of those who saw opportunity while the natives did not?
You know, it is not my mistake that I was born in a family that is capable of raising me well, giving me a good education, letting me get even better degrees outside my native land and able to fly all over the world and finally even decide want to work in say South Africa is it? It is not my mistake that I am brilliant enough to secure a scholarship and finally a great job is say South Africa? It is not my problem if my brother sleeps hungry and I have enough food and money to go drinking maybe two or three beers drive my BMX and cruise on the best roads that do not have traffic so I don’t get headaches on my way to my posh and lavish home ? I s it my problem that I got a job that is well paying and you did not? I s it a mistake that I can think more that you can and be innovative with the little knowledge I have and make myself a billionaire? It is not my mistake when I need something and all I can do is pick up the phone or drop a mail and to the right person who can help I and you can’t? Is it all about is it my mistake that…….?
I have tried to understand where the black South Africans are coming from and truly I have tried and maybe I can try to just a little bit understand where are really coming from!
How would you feel when you can put a decent meal on the table for your family when all you do is struggle the whole day and perhaps all you get is a dollar in return? How would you feel if when you get up each morning the people you are going to beg employment from are not even your fellow countrymen? How would you feel if these not fellow countrymen are the ones who determine the type of salary or wage you get? How would you feel if at all they earn way above what you do, which of course is the case? And worse still what if you have no education to challenge then? What would you do? With these and maybe many more questions that they may pause I totally understand and feel what they are going through! As a person and a young person for that matter, I know how it feels like to try and make ends meets! I can try to fit my feet into those big shoes but in whichever directions I may never actually feel what exactly they are feeling! But all in all I can try to relate with them!
Now comes the hard part is it justified what they are doing to their fellow Africans? That is a question I would like you to think about.
