La scène se déroule le 19 juillet dans la fournaise de N'Djamena, quelques minutes après un entretien aussi long que fructueux avec Idriss Déby Itno. Dans l'un des hangars surchauffés de la base aérienne Adji-Kosseï, François Hollande, devant ses troupes et au milieu de quelques-uns des fleurons de la force de frappe française (avions de chasse Rafale, hélicoptères Puma, chars Sagaie et VAB), refait l'histoire de la présence militaire française au Tchad et énonce une vérité qui, pour certains, n'en est pas vraiment une : "Nous ne sommes pas ici chez nous.
" Un peu tout de même. Elle n'est pas la seule. The Paradox of Racism. The paradox of racism is that at any given moment, the racism of the day seems reasonable and very possibly true, but the racism of the past always seems so ridiculous. I’ve been thinking about this recently after reading the new book A Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race, and Human History by New York Times reporter Nicholas Wade, who writes about the big differences in economic success between whites, blacks, Asians, and other groups and offers a sophisticated argument that racial differences arise from genetic differences that are amplified by culture.
Wade’s argument has three parts: First, along with the divergence of physical traits such as skin color and types of earwax, racial groups have genetically evolved to differ in cognitive traits such as intelligence and creativity. Second, Wade argues that “minor differences, for the most part invisible in an individual, have major consequences at the level of a society.” This all fits together and could well be true.

The process of gathering and analyzing statistics on an incarcerated African-American male has been taken by several studies on a specific age group, geographical location, causes of incarceration or simply the upbringing of a child over a course of years.
Approximately 12%-13% of the American population is African-American, but they make up 40% of the almost 2.1 million male inmates in jail or prison (U.S. Department of Justice, 2009).[1] Census data for 2000 of the number and race of all individuals incarcerated in the United States revealed a wide racial disproportion of the incarcerated population in each state: the proportion of blacks in prison populations exceeded the proportion among state residents in twenty states; the percent of blacks incarcerated was five times greater than the resident population.

Americas overtake Africa in U.N. homicide study. The Americas have overtaken Africa as the region with the most murders in a single year, the United Nations said in a report published Thursday. The Global Study on Homicide 2013 ranks regions of the world according to the number of homicides they experienced and tracks the weapons most commonly used to commit them.
For the first time, homicide in the Americas (North, Central and South) outranks the total number of homicides in all of Africa — despite the numerous ongoing crises in various African nations. There were 437,000 homicides worldwide in 2013, and 36 percent of them occurred in the Americas, followed by Africa at 31 percent and Asia at 28 percent. Europe and Oceania had the lowest rates, at 5 percent and 0.3 percent respectively. Honduras had the world’s highest murder rate at 90.4 per 100,000 people. The homicide rates in Central America and southern Africa are both more than four times the global average of 6.2 per 100,000 people. There is reason for the U.S. to be concerned. 2000 black percent.

Africa needs to move towards Afro-realism | Opinion | Comment and Analysis. There is much to celebrate in this important year for Africa – the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Organisation of African Unity. The economy of our continent is growing faster than that of any other. Global attention has rarely been greater or more positive. The organisation's creation marked a watershed in Africa's history and development.
Its anniversary provides the opportunity to reflect on progress over the past half-century and to focus on what needs to be achieved to meet the bold ambitions of its architects. This week, my foundation published the 2013 Ibrahim Index of African Governance. The index shows us that Africa has achieved progress in many key areas. Tempting as it is, we must resist jumping to overly simplistic or optimistic conclusions about Africa and the direction it is heading. Information gap To truly understand our vast continent and to help to drive effective and sustainable governance improvements, reliable and accurate data is essential.

Sur le campus de l’université Omar Bongo, on pouvait voir des vitres brisées, des poubelles renversées et incendiées. A l’origine de la colère, un taux particulièrement élevé d'échec aux examens de fin d’année. C’est la force du caillou contre la bombe lacrymogène. Les échauffourées ont duré près d’une heure.

The number of black students attending university needs to rise for South Africa’s economic development to improve, statistician general Pali Lehohla said on Wednesday. A mere 3.2% of black youth aged between 18 and 29 attended university in 2013, he told reporters in Pretoria at the release of Statistics SA’s 2013 General Household Survey.
White attendance in the same demographic was 18.7%, 9.2% for Indian and Asian and 3.1% for coloured attendance. “You would then have to argue that perhaps a proportion of blacks similar to that of whites is what’s necessary ... It might put this country on a different path in terms of demography and economic development,” he said. “At the moment the proportion of blacks that are attending university is just too small to generate the kind of high-level skills that are required to get the economy going.”
“That’s where innovation starts ... KwaZulu-Natal followed with 8.4% of children affected, North West with 7.5% and the Western Cape with 6.9%. Zimbabwe's Evicted White Farmers Seek World Bank-Backed Bonds. Commercial farmers in Zimbabwe whose holdings were seized in land invasions backed by President Robert Mugabe’s administration say the World Bank is considering underwriting the settlement of their claims with government bonds. The World Bank is advising the government on improving land reform and compensation bonds have been used in other countries, the office of its country manager in Zimbabwe, Camille Nuamah, said in a July 18 response to questions.
Zimbabwean Agriculture Minister Joseph Made wasn’t available to discuss compensation, an aide who declined to be identified said when his office was called. About 3,000 mainly white farmers were dispossessed of their properties in a land reform program that began ahead of elections in 2000 and led to the collapse of exports ranging from tobacco to corn, causing famines and an almost decade-long recession.

Zimbabwe: President Mugabe vows to kick out remaining white farmers | Southern Africa. Fourteen years after Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's administration first adopted a policy to repossess land from white farmers, the long-time leader has warned that more white people were likely to lose their land, as they could not be allowed to own land in the country.
In a chilling and foreboding message, Mugabe on Wednesday said "we will have no mercy for white people regarding the land, they cannot own our soil". We say no to whites owning our land and they should go Mugabe, in power since 1980, told thousands of black farmers that the whites are free to own companies and apartments in our towns and cities but not the soil. He said the remaining white farmers enjoyed the protection of some of his ministers and warned of a renewed crackdown. "There are white farmers who are still on the land and have the protection of some cabinet ministers and politicians as well as traditional leaders," he said.

The claim that 40 000 white families own 80% of the land in South Africa has been widely circulated since Andile Mngxitama, an MP and “commissar for land and agrarian revolution” with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), raised the issue in an open letter to business tycoon Richard Branson in May this year.
In Mngxitama’s letter – written after the Virgin founder purchased a 40-hectare farm near Franschhoek in the Western Cape province – Branson’s acquisition was described as “stolen land”. ‘Native majority are landless’“The dominant idiom since 1652 is that of the settler, who imposed it upon the native majority through force of arms,” Mngxitama wrote. “The result of this conquest is that, about 350 years later, the native majority is landless and only about 40 000 white families own up to 80% of our land.” Mngxitama later repeated the claim on Twitter, writing: “? #Land101 SA is constituted by 123-million hectares. 80% of SA land owned by only 40,000 white families.
