“Gender equality is critical to the development and peace of every nation." -- Kofi Annan, Ex-Secretary General of United Nations Organisations   On International Women’s day, 2013, we need to introspect about the future of women's Liberation movement. Women have the right to live in dignity, in freedom from want and freedom from fear. On this International Women's Day, let us rededicate ourselves to making that a reality. Issues such as reproductive rights, domestic violence, maternity leave, equal pay, women's suffrage, sexual harassment, and sexual violence require continued struggle.  As per the Laws, women in India enjoy equal rights to a large extent. But the problem is that reality speaks otherwise. The legal rights are all there on paper, but these have no nexus with actual reality. Police records in India show a high incidence of crimes against women. Acid throwing is a major crime in India. A Thomas Reuters Foundation survey [51] says that India is the fourth most dangerous place in the wo ...

Friends, We fought in 2008, burned each other, killed our neighbours, uprooted our own people from their homes and destroyed our own property. Today, as we wait for the Presidential Address at 4.00pm this afternoon and as we wait to vote on the 4th March 2013, I want to look at the strides we have made as a people since then. The World responded to our situation when all seemed lost. Many world leaders invited us to keep peace and Mr. Kofi Annan was mandated to bring the two protagonists together. He was joined by a Team of Eminent Persons His Excellency Benjamin Mkapa and Her Excellency Madam Graca Machel. In their shuttle diplomacy, a Team comprising of Kenyans was put in place to tackle issues that needed serious intervention. From the ODM side we had Hon Sally Kosgey, Hon Musalia Mudavadi, Hon James Orengo and Hon William Ruto. From the PNU side we had Hon Martha Karua, Hon Mutula Kilonzo, Hon Moses Wetangula and Hon Sam Ongeri. These Kenyans identified the short term, mid term and long term intervent ...

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The former head of the U.N. — the man who helped save Kenya from spiraling deeper into election violence five years ago — warned Saturday that intimidation, ethnic rivalry and violence could undermine Kenya's March 4 presidential vote. Kofi Annan said that Kenya is on a positive trajectory five years after postelection violence killed more than 1,000 people and forced some 600,000 from their homes. But he reminded Kenyans that their country stood on the "precipice of self-destruction" after the country's last vote. "The elections must be peaceful, free and fair. They must be conducted in accordance with the rule of law. They must be carried out with integrity, and must reflect the will of the people. Only then will national unity, stability and cohesion be safeguarded," Annan said in a statement. "Yet, intimidation, electoral violence and ethnic rivalry have the potential to undermine and jeopardize the whole process," he added. "And that is why recent violent events and increa ...

The relationship between Kenya and Ghana is a special one and am told started with friendship between Jomo Kenyatta and Kwame Nkrumah. This is why when Kenya was burning it was Ghana that took charge of the peace process. Kofi Annan and President John Kufuor demonstrated such deep concern which many times was misunderstood and termed by many as interference by outsiders. Most Kenyans as may not be aware that Ghana is the only country outside EAC where Kenyans do not need a visa. In fact it’s easier to enter Ghana than it is Tanzania and you will feel more welcome

UGANDA: Brave priest says ‘I’ll die rather than stay silent' by David Sseppuuya - 20th February 2013 Prophetic courage: Bishop Zac Niringiye. Photo: New VisionProphetic courage: Bishop Zac Niringiye. Photo: New Vision ‘A BULLET to the head: if it must come to that, then let it be.’ The answer comes very readily when he is asked about what the consequences could be of his very public challenge against official corruption in Uganda. He cuts the physical look of Kofi Annan, the ultimate pacifist, and the steely but quiet authority of Desmond Tutu, the pulpit’s quintessential combative clergyman. David Zac Niringiye, 58, immediate past assistant bishop of the Anglican Church of Uganda’s Kampala Diocese, is arguably the most recognised clergyman in Uganda today, and society’s most eloquent voice on justice and governance in a country that has seen more than its fair share of political and social turmoil. For his resolve Bishop Zac, as he is popularly known, was arrested on 4 February while distri ...

The latter event will feature Kofi Annan discussing his new memoir, "Interventions: A Life in War and Peace" and will be held towards the end of the month (March 24). Mark your calendars!

THE RANDOM EXPOSURE OF THE STATUS QUO HABITS Rate This The Kenyan Politics are very peculiar indeed. Peculiar in that they are always full of controversy, among other disguised happenings and occurences. The peculiarities are often unfathomable by many, whereas to others they are either unpalatable or mind wrecking. Some of the peculiarities occur due to the politicians’ personalities or interests. However, these peculiarities always leave a mark, be it desirable or undesirable on the local scene. Moreover, others are just mere propaganda. In 2008 talks before the formulation of the National Accord, the ODM camp always claimed that the 2007 General Election ‘had been stolen’ or in simpler terms, rigged. As a result, the reconciliation talks between ODM and PNU parties involving several high profile regional and internationally acclaimed personalities were initiated to solve their presumed differences. Kofi Annan, Benjamin Mkapa and Graca Machel were some of the paramount mediators involved in the ta ...

How to beat Africa’s water crisis By Michel Camdessus, Special to CNN Editor’s note: Michel Camdessus is former managing director of the International Monetary Fund and a member of the U.N. Secretary General’s Advisory Board on Water and Sanitation. This is the first in a new series of articles for GPS by members of the Africa Progress Panel, a foundation chaired by Kofi Annan. Recent discoveries of water reserves under some of Africa’s mightiest deserts raise hopes for quenching African thirst. But the reality is much more grim. From parched desert to tropical forest, roughly 40 percent of Africans, mostly the rural poor, will not get access to clean water any time soon, a fact that exacerbates poverty, hunger, and disease. Indeed, every year, dirty water kills an estimated 750,000 African children under the age of five. And while rich countries worry about obesity, recent droughts in the Sahel and Horn of Africa have forced millions of Africans to flee their ancestral lands in search of food. To ...

Rao has been in government for the last five years and he never bothered to deal with Agenda 4 - The Historical Land Injustices- remember that this was a reason which the imminent persons of Africa led by Kofi Annan had attributed it as one of the factors which caused Post Election Violence of 2007/2008. Land issue is very emmotive not only in Kenya but world over. Remember again how Rao led the eviction of peasants farmers whom he referred to as "omenas" in Mau forest leaving behind rich men with large parcel of land. It is only the poor who suffered most in Mau forest and this episodes is on record. So i wonder if Rao is really serious when he is talking of land issues in Kenya!!!

Islamophobia: Europe`s Identity Crisis - Roots Behind, Routes Ahead- by Bülent ŞENAY, Board Member of EMISCO.   I would like to begin by a quote. Kofi Annan told a UN conference on Islamophobia in 2004:"When the world is compelled to coin a new term to take account of increasingly widespread bigotry, that is a sad and troubling development. Such is the case with Islamophobia."   “Fighting Against Islamophobic Hate Crime & Law Enforcement" is a huge topic. There are various ways to address the issue of overcoming Islamophobia - or dealing with discrimination in general. Some stress the importance of laws and legislation; that these need to secure peoples rights and that punishments should be enforced on those not respecting the human rights. Others take a more educational approach, declaring that the solution lies in changing peoples attitudes and making them experience diversity as a positive, not threatening, thing.   There is also the question of definition -Stereotype: A generalisation and simpl ...

'It is impossible to realize our goals while discriminating against half the human race.' Kofi Annan

Germany discriminates people with Jewish ancestors . I am an living example of that. Inga-Verena Barth Germany discriminates women. Germany discriminates handicapped people. Germany discriminates people with Christian belief. Germany spends more money on music of Richard Wagner than on music of Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven and Johannes Brahms. Germany still prefers people who have been linked to the NSDAP, Hitler and to the SED. German people do not like people as Martin Luther King otherwise they would give people like me a chance. German people do not like Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama, Kofi Annan and Ban Ki Moon because they have no blue eyes and no fair hair. The German Foreign Service says to me I cannot speak English but the Government of the United States, the whole political community of Washington, Madeleine Albright, Jerome Glenn from the Millennium Project in Washington DC, Josette Sheeran from the World Food Programme, Tamara Gutner from the American University in Washington DC a ...

Am wondering what creates the illusion among us Kenyans that Kofi Annan has any Kenyan interests at heart? Currently, Mali, Libya, D R Congo and Somalia are in more need of his visits than Kenya. Still, there are well able Kenyans e.g. Martha Karua, Raila Odinga, Musalia Mudavadi, Uhuru Kenyatta, James Ole Kiyapi and Peter Kenneth who are willing to be the CEO of Kenya if elected come much 4 2013. Consequently, the Kenyan electorate must be allowed to decide on their next CEO. Therefore, I fail to understand Annan’s obsessiveness with Kenya, his agenda neither his masters. Had he performed with the same zeal as the then UN Secretary General, then the more than 900,000 Rwandese would not have perished but alas it happened under his watch. Kenyans we must have conviction, faith and poise and this means Kenya as a sovereign state, we must decide our destiny without Kofi Annan or any other and they must be told simply to KEEP OFF.
