Die Bundesregierung, allen voran die Kanzlerin, hat im NSA-Skandal bewusst gelogen und die Öffentlichkeit getäuscht: “Zum Beispiel stellte sich in der 26. Sitzung heraus, dass vom Bundeskanzleramt ein Brief direkt an Kai-Uwe Ricke, den damaligen (2002-2006) Vorstandsvorsitzenden der Deutsche Telekom AG, geschickt wurde. In diesem Schreiben wurde die Deutsche Telekom AG dazu angehalten, fortlaufende Massenüberwachung deutscher und internationaler Internet- und Telekommunikationsdaten am Frankfurter Knotenpunkt der Deutschen Telekom AG zuzulassen und zu unterstützen. Im Rahmen dieser Operation, Codename ‘Eikonal’, wurden abgehörte Daten dann vom BND an die NSA weitergegeben. Der Brief war an Ricke adressiert und trug den Vermerk ‘persönlich’. Während der Vernehmung im Untersuchungsausschuss gab Ricke an, er habe solch einen Brief nie gesehen …”

Nasser, Sukarno und Nehru in Bandung 1955
Erinnerung an 60 Jahre Bandung-Konferenz: “We still live in a world where imperialism, colonialism, war, exploitation, injustice and unfairness continue to complicate the contemporary world political economic space. What was loudly voiced at Bandung was the anti-colonial spirit and the aspiration for building a world order that appreciates rather than ignores the Global South and the newly growing numbers of independent countries from colonialism still remain largely unfulfilled.”

Streikrecht für Kinder: “Ungerecht ist nur, dass es viele Menschen gibt, die nicht streiken können, weil es niemanden betrifft – und das, obwohl es ihnen sehr schlecht geht, viel schlechter noch als all denen in den Gewerkschaften: Menschen, die auf der Straße leben müssen, Flüchtlinge, Arbeitslose oder Mütter, die arm sind, weil sie ihre Kinder allein erziehen müssen und deshalb keine Arbeit finden. (…) Ein Streik ist für alle, die darunter leiden müssen, eine wirklich nervige Sache. Aber trotzdem ist es gut, dass Menschen streiken dürfen. Denn dürften sie es nicht, müssten sie sich alles gefallen lassen.”

PAMBAZUKA NEWS 726: BURUNDI: NO TO COUP, NO TO THIRD TERM

NO TO COUP, NO TO THIRD TERM
Burundi needs democracy and respect for the rule of law
Patricia Daley
President Nkurunziza, a former rebel leader, has run Burundi according to the only model he knows: an authoritarian, predatory and aid-dependent regime. But this week’s coup against him must be condemned. The African Union and the continent’s leading nations must support Burundians to attain democracy.
http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/features/94712
******
WHY BURUNDIANS TOOK TO THE STREETS
Rowan Popplewell
The protests occurred against a backdrop of sustained political and economic marginalisation by the Nkurunziza regime and widespread fear. Protest leaders successfully tapped into individual discontent and anxieties generated by exclusion and repression by a violent dictatorship.

HUGE UNCERTAINTIES LOOM OVER BURUNDI’S POLITICAL TRAJECTORY
David-Ngendo Tshimba
Post-civil war Burundi faces steep challenges that remain unaddressed. History seems to be repeating itself after a decade of fragile, hard-won peace following the signing of the 2000 Arusha Accord. President Nkurunziza’s departure alone will not heal the nation.
http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/features/94708
******
BURUNDI: FROM ETHNICIZED MILITARISM TO MILITANT CIVILIANS
Odomaro Mubangizi
The argument pushed by Nkurunziza and his backers for a third presidential term is unconvincing. This, and the fact that many people have really not enjoyed the fruits of peace under his 10-year rule, is what has galvanized relentless opposition to the regime.
http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/features/94711

#CHAOSINBURUNDI
Karl-Chris Nsabiyumva
A few days before the ‘attempted’ coup this week, a blogger in the Burundian capital Bujumbura gave a chilling account of the breakdown of law and order in the capital. The organisers of the protests seemed to have no particular plan and the people were beginning to turn against themselves.

THE UNFOLDING CRISIS OF PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION IN CENTRAL AFRICA
Chidi Odinkalu
Pierre Nkurunziza is neither the first nor the only head of state in Africa’s Great Lakes region to seek another term of office against provisions of the constitution. Uganda’s Yoweri Museveni orchestrated the removal of term limits from the constitution altogether. DR Congo and Rwanda’s presidents both want an extension of their regimes.

“JUST” $6 A MONTH? A RESPONSE TO JIM KIM
The World Bank will not end poverty by promoting fee-charging, for-profit schools in Kenya and Uganda
Over one hundred organisations have issued a statement addressed to World Bank president, Jim Kim, questioning the Bank’s support for a multinational chain of low-fee, profit-making private primary schools targeting poor families, which Kim recently praised as a means to alleviate poverty.

SADC TRIBUNAL: THE SHAME OF IMPUNITY
Southern Africa Litigation Centre
‘African solutions to African problems’ is a popular adage among the ruling classes on the continent. Africa is old enough to deal with its own issues. Yet leaders in the 15-member SADC bloc are in the process of dismantling their own regional court to shield governments, heads of state and other powerful people from justice.

THE TANGLED WEB WENDY SHERMAN WEAVES
Alemayehu G. Mariam
Ethiopia is going into elections in less than two weeks. A US senior official caused a storm when she recently described the country as a “young democracy”. It is a stunning hypocrisy that America continues to support one of the vilest dictatorships in Africa.

Key challenges include how to support genuinely addressing the root causes of many intractable conflicts, which often involve deeply entrenched inequalities of wealth and power, while often having to meet headquarter demands for short term, quantifiable results rooted in linear and problematic assumptions about how change manifests.

DUMP ‘CARDING’ INTO THE CESSPOOL OF HISTORY BY REFUSING TO TALK TO THE COPS
Ajamu Nangwaya
Carding is an act of state and police violence ( https://nowtoronto.com/news/now-its-cops-playing-race-card/ ) . It must end through the mass refusal of the people of Toronto, especially Afrikan Canadians, other racialized peoples and the white working-class, to share their personal information with the cops.

FRENCH HYPOCRISY ON WHOSE LIVES MATTER
While France shuts down its own coal-fired power stations to cut carbon emissions, it invests in the building of a coal plant in South Africa.
Dominique Doyle
A thousand protesters will march on the French Consulate in Johannesburg on May 15 against France’s plan to build a toxic coal-fired power station in South Africa. African lives, it seems, are only worthy of sacrifice to coal boilers.

Land ownership and its reclaim are the next phases of Africa’s struggle for total freedom. Do not now begin to sell off Africa to foreign landownership. No other continent does.

VIOLATION OF ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS IN ETHIOPIA
Statement by the Arid Lands Institute given out and read at the 56th regular session of the African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights in Banjul, Gambia, on April 26, 2015
If the economic and human rights situation in Ethiopia is really as rosy as it is painted by the EPRDF government, how come hundreds of thousands of its youthful population are risking their lives to flee the country and die in the deserts of the Sahara, Sinai and Arabia, beheaded by fundamentalist lunatics in Libya and killed in South Africa?

WESTERN IMPERIALISM AND THE RECOLONIZATION OF AFRICA
From national independence and regionalism to neo-colonialism
Abayomi Azikiwe
The increased expansion of Empire in Africa now requires a re-examination of the theories of Pan-Africanism and Socialism as advanced by Kwame Nkrumah and other anti-imperialist leaders of the 1950s-1980s. Africa cries out for unity now more than any other period of the post-independence era.

OTHER ECONOMIES ARE POSSIBLE!”: BUILDING A SOLIDARITY ECONOMY
Ethan Miller
In the search for alternatives to capitalism, existing democratic economic projects are frequently painted as noble but marginal practices, doomed to be crushed or co-opted by the forces of the market. But is this inevitable?
