DR CONGO:
POST-ELECTIONS GUNFIGHTS IN KINSHASA
SWAHILI AS UN OFFICIAL LANGUAGE ?
The UN's top man in the DR Congo,
William Swing,  speaks
to UN Radio about being trapped in Vice-president Bemba's
home during a dramatic firefight outside plus the prospects
for the country in the next few weeks."This
is the single most critical situation in all of Africa
right now because it's the one crisis that if put right
could change the face of Africa and that's what we want."
And on the challenges ahead in the next few days,
"The big issue now is to make sure
that the government institutions start working again
and that we put in place compost building measures that
will allow the process to go forward to the second round
of presidential and the provincial elections but all
of that is beginning to fall in place slowly."
 And,
we hear from the outspoken Kenyan MP who came to New
York recently and championed the idea that an African
language should be spoken officially at the United Nations,
"We want Africa to produce a language for
the UN. Only then shall we be able to say that the continent
is now decolonized. Only then shall we be able to say
that indeed the UN is an organization for the entire
world and not just for part of the world. This is why
UN must urgently consider having KiSwahili as one of
the official languages," says Koigi Wa
Wamwere.

TORONTO
AIDS CONFERENCE: US GOVERNMENT CRITICISED OVER
PERCEIVED ABSTINENCE EMPHASIS
LIBERIA: JORDANIAN SURGEON HELPS THE WOUNDED
A.B.C - Abstain, Be Faithful or
Condoms use  are
the three key methods for fighting HIV and AIDS.
But is the current US government placing too much
emphasis on ABSTINENCE in Africa? "When
I hear people pontificating about AIDS and acting
as if we can do everything through abstinence,
I think they don’t know what most women
are up against in too many parts of the world
today."
UN special Envoy on AIDS, Stephen
Lewis, describes the US government's policy as
a form of colonialism..."You don't
lay down conditions for Africa. You don't say
you will use x-percentage on abstinence or on
fidelity or on condoms. Governments of the west
have to understand that these are sovereign states
in Africa."
 Plus
the Jordanian orthopaedic surgeon on peacekeeping
duties in Liberia,"I am very
happy to come to Liberia, not only because of
the work. ... We are working in comfort, and in
addition the country is very nice here, and very,
very beautiful. So I am happy to be in Liberia,
not only for six months. I would like to extend
my work for a further six months," says
Major Doctor Fuad Battah.
