OF provincettes, 26, SPEAK IT! WHO IS WHO

The nurse villain who stands at the head of the DRC wants to perpetuate his mercenary activities. Since nobody knows what it is has proved particularly inept, he is bent to keep his dirty work. You've probably guessed, this is of MONUC. We all know the Rais wants to see her go. But the mission is still negotiating. The mission of the Security Council made its routine sightseeing in Kinshasa, this time "to listen". Kabila said loudly that he is tired. But MONUC is well that the vultures, themselves, have not tired. It is a kind of police to ensure the peace they need to continue to bleed the country they claim to be trying to save himself. Kabila and, it must still MONUC this is his 2006 election. The problem is that it begins to be afraid. He is afraid for two reasons : First, it no longer wants to witness the next sham election already in preparation, then he begins to suspect that this force could be used to eliminate it. This is not the first time. Kabila more than anyone should know the vulnerability of his position. There are things that it drains money from the DRC can not do for him. When the vultures will decide to eliminate it, it has no walls thick enough to hide from these guys in blue helmets who walk in every corner of the DRC with the "moral" authority of the same corrupt behemoth us call the UN today. It could be that the intoxication of power has made him forget the in-glorious end of his father. He has a recollection anyway, and we see this fear of Monuc he used, however, when it suited him.


Afraid so. Elections as well. How to do without MONUC? And if the vultures do not want to pay all costs as they are in crisis? Our members run out of ideas remembered that the constitution was kabilienne the dismantling of existing provinces into 26 provincettes. They believe that by putting pressure, they affect the proposed Kabila to get elected again. They forget that in highlighting gaps or provisions never applied, they could draw attention to the illegality of their mandate. This constitution was only selectively applied. I do not interest me beyond measure since it is a constitution particularly superficial, I dare say frivolous. Of course that Kabila did not want the provincettes, as he never wanted to municipal elections, and as he does not care much (pardon the expression) of borders. The dispute with Angola fills the pages of Africa Mining Intelligence. Borders! It is the oil! So we said that Kabila does not provincettes. One of the reasons why he wants to revise the constitution it is the latter. He wants to keep the large provinces that are easier to control from his point of view.


It's in the same logic to regain the power he temporizes governorates with vacancies in the South Kivu and Maniema. It must be said that it should also prepare for the North-Kivu. There were some glitches between him and Paluku at some time, but especially Paluku is not popular. It's hard to see him deliver the North Kivu to the boss. In terms of the governorate in North Kivu, I thought could count on Hutu close to him as Mashako Mamba Sekimonyo, Vunabandi, Serufuli, etc. Mutiri. With the FDLR and other factions tend Hutu, that would be it. But it seems that only Mashako is strong. I do not think that the president also wants to break away. Others they have lost all credibility in the field. In South Kivu, it is almost certain that it is his Marcellin Tshisambo designate. But he will have to blunder because banyabungo do not want. They might do with him the same thing they did with his predecessor. Who would have told Joseph that the serious complicate things much. Had he failed, with MONUC, Alan Doss in mind, to convince the world that the problem of Nkunda DRC was? Do not bother reading this. I intentionally placing well in nearly all my postings because it will help us prove that political problems highlighted by Nkunda's rebellion are still intact. And the band of gangsters who had engineered his arrest was a bunch of opportunists who do not think the future of the region. When is that Africa will produce patriots? I believe there is one on Nkunda, you keep it locked up because the integrity is still a threat to the corrupt. His arrest has arranged or Kigali Kinshasa nor much less the population that still keeps the hope of seeing him get back to work. I'm sure it also works in his head on a Great Lakes region developed and prosperous. Kabila would prove him right, at least now that he also wants to keep the 9 provinces. I mean he should be okay now with the federalist project that Nkunda calls. I posted a long time ago a long article in parts by explaining why the solution of the DRC, instead of fragmentation in provincettes should be a federation. Now its Western sponsors will beat their drums for those cursed smaller provinces to weaken, and then what we impose another Kabila?


And how is the general mood in Afande Kigs? I am told it is pretty foul. Undeterred, even to crush a fly with a hammer. But we understand there is a growing number of concerns for election day: grenades (I'm pretty sure they have something to do with the FDLR, but I could be wrong), the singers of human the man who make noise about his style malaise within which everyone suspected everyone else, a sort of domestic terrorism what, etc.. I am told that maigrit, il n'était déjà pas très costaud.

How Long Does Epiditymitis Last?

the good old days when half a stamp to 15 cents was worth ten!

Like what it was better to be smart at the time in the Indian Ocean!






Agent Post on board this ship had to be pretty well pissed off one morning in November 1905 finding desperately empty box drawer where he had the habit of putting away 10 stamps cents. Not one, all sold yesterday!
"Damn!" He certainly has exclaimed.

Especially as clients passengers would be likely to appear at his window in order to free the lovely postcards for their families or friends.
tourist cards often, bought as a souvenir of a trip to Madagascar, for example, and very eagerly awaited by their recipients in France.


However, this is not the 15 cent stamps that are missing!
And that does not serve much more!
Then a clever idea came to him.
Perhaps he had heard of a similar precedent occurred at a colleagues, and to which the Post Office had coped brilliantly?

Or was it philatelist in addition to being clever?

Here he dutifully takes his pair of scissors and starts cutting a few stamps to 15 cents which is not likely to use, and turn them into stamps to 10 cents!


It will even pass the cards one by one in the good old typewriter and slap himself in purple ink the words you see in this example:

"Postage lack of special stamps to 10 percent. "

This to avoid that one can indicate an attempted fraud on the part of the sender.
Beautiful dedication!
We must believe that he should not be too busy either. ..


fact remains that these letters were sent regularly. Mission accomplished!
The proof can still be found:



But in your opinion, what each stamp bisected allowed that employee to get rich on the backs of its customers?

If he sold his two halves stamp 10 cents each, it could easily bring him 20 cents every time, so 5 cents of profit for his pocket.
This would have been a hard-earned money, do not you think?


In addition, it was not obliged to say: who would come to control it at the other end of the world? Do not push
either!

can even think he may well have invented the whole story of scarcity of stamps for an ulterior purpose of personal enrichment, if it was bad mind!

Or else it was so obsessive that he destroyed the other half of each stamp?
But then, in this case, is that the Post would have been out of his pocket!
Unlikely! you say: we will not start selling the stamps at a discount to all!

Nobody knows the final word on the matter, but it is certain that these letters were appreciated by collectors of the time, and still are today.
They are however not common.


The possible benefit for the employee, as well as the potential loss for the administration, have not been very important anyway.

Nothing to do a story unless it is a collector ...

Leaked oil contracts threaten resource wars and $10 billion rip-off by British company


Confidential oil contracts held by UK companies Tullow and Heritage in the Democratic Republic of Congo were leaked today, revealing the danger of economic rip-off and rights abuses in one of Africa's most unstable countries. The Production Sharing Agreements (PSAs) are accompanied by a legal analysis, ''A Lake of Oil - Congo's controversial contracts compromise rights, environment & safety'', published by oil watchdog PLATFORM in partnership with the African Institute for Energy Governance (Afiego). [1] As the dispute between Tullow/Heritage and the South African-led Divine Inspiration consortium over lucrative oil licences on Lake Albert comes to a head [2], the contract terms have been released for the first time. [3] PLATFORM's analysis compares revenues delivered by two competing contracts, revealing that:

• Both Tullow/Heritage & Divine/H Oil's contracts guarantee excessive profits, at the expense of Congo's poor
• Tullow's contract terms reduce the ! Congolese take by around 15%, compared to Divine's.
• If recognised, Tullow's contract will cut Congolese government revenues by over $10 billion - a figure equivalent to the country's entire national debt. Tullow and the British Embassy in Kinshasa have been lobbying hard for these contract terms. This represents a significant transfer of wealth from some of Africa's poorest to British and Irish investors.
In ''A Lake of Oil", PLATFORM also raises concerns about:
• Co-operation between oil companies and military groups and the likelihood of escalating resource-driven war in eastern Congo. (p26 & 33)
• The legal rights granted to flare natural gas (p.24)
• The complete absence of penalties for environmental damage (p.21),
• The 'stabilisation clause', which will restrict DRC's ability to improve its environmental protection and human rightsstandards in the future (p.27)
Alfred Buju, head of the Jus! tice and Peace Commission in Ituri, DRC, at the heart of Exploration B lock 2, said: ''This report reveals the contracts that will affect our communities and raises serious concerns about who will benefit from oil extraction in Ituri. We need the government and international companies to be honest and clear - will our environment be protected? The history of natural resources in eastern DRC makes us worry that oil will lead to more conflict.''
PLATFORM Campaigner Mika Minio said, ''The reality is that extracting Congolese crude will escalate resource wars, transfer wealth from Congo's poorest to London's richest, create new health problems for local communities, increase corruption and pollute the land, water and air. It is up to social movements and civil society to create the pressure to defend rights, livelihoods and Uganda's rich environment."
PLATFORM Researcher Taimour Lay in Bunia, Congo DRC, said "The confidential documents we have published make clear that the British government and oil companies have been lobby! ing for terms which leave Congo significantly worse off than another contract already on the table. This shows a wanton prioritisation of profit and British control of African resources over all else." Taimour Lay added, "Tullow's statements demonstrate strength in corporate responsibility rhetoric. Yet their practice here on Lake Albert tells a different story - one of arrogance, environmental damage, collusion in secrecy and indifference to human rights abuses."
The report recommends that "Urgent changes should be made to the contracts, legislation and regulatory regime covering oil, to achieve some level of environmental protection, ensure accountability for military forces enforcing security, to protect a degree of Congolese sovereignty, minimize economic distortion through revenue flows, and capture a more appropriate share of the revenues and to re-apportion the economic risks."

JUGGLERS

Elections still ring the hour of activism especially in a country-democratic regimes as in Central Africa. Far from creating space for a frank debate about the creation or not a rule of law and of responsible citizenship, it is struggling to find ways to keep the power gained by means we know. In this sense we must read the strategy of Joseph Kabila to deal governorates vacancies in South Kivu and Maniema. Indeed, the East is no longer a field as safe as the spokes qu'2006. He will have governors who have to cooperate instead of those who could be free in their strategic choices. INEC or CIS, whatever happens, Joseph Kabila will retain Malu Malu who is paid to ensure continued support for the president. The president will also rely heavily on the FDLR as FARDC hungry, impoverished and discouraged it certainly can not be of much use. You can oppose an objection to Ntaganda, like what it might be a certain role in elections. But no, he will not. For now, its role is limited to serving as a scarecrow for a possible confrontation with Makenga and still others an illusion.



Some propagandists, to divert the attention of the national opinion of me-era mismanagement of Kabila, began talking again of a wave of Rwandans in Kivu. It's amazing how whose xenophobia continues. I asked a contact there, and here's the answer to one of them. "You think that Rwandans do not will risk unsafe terrain. You have to be there and not have reasonable prospects in the land of a thousand hills to decide to go there right now. So these are real masisiens returning. " Asked whether there was Terminator for something, they say it can not serve anyone, except to try to terrorize his former friends Legitimists. He is in serious trouble. It has eliminated its toll-roads which brought him some $ 2500 per day and now he is right in the trade of timber and coal. "To me, my contact said, Kabila maintained as a scarecrow against the Makenga Faustin etc. ... just in case ...! But even if there was confrontation, it would not hold without afande "hear without the support of James Kabarebe. The ministerial appointment of the latter, we have speculated here, is sidelined and protection against prosecution in the case brought against the General Nkunda. So it must be remembered that today can be summarized under Rwandan elections. Why Kigali and Kinshasa are working to make believe that everything respective sponsors is well in the brave new world in regard to diplomatic relations. In reality, these relationships are not as good as the stakeholders are saying. That those observers on the ground say. "But they can not admit it now. I believe that this pre-election period for both, everyone is looking for sponsors to show that things have normalized, but litigation on both sides remain. There will be time for KGL to open after August. "


About Kigali, President Kagame's cryptic response to journalist's imprisonment on Jeune Afrique Laurent Nkunda is being circulated massively Internet with all kinds of commentaries. It juggles with words, basically that is what journalists live. What is surprising is the lack of clarity of speech. The Congolese general is called a glitch. Yet it was said special host country of a thousand hills, some time ago. We do not dwell on these contradictory statements because we know that this is not a small problem. Rather, one must ask if there really had results that the Head of State describes as encouraging, for whom, when and where? One wonders. And then "justice is the" but why, one that declares itself incompetent at all levels of the judicial and military soon? The problem is not so small that the President recognizes that the solution will involve many people! We'll see. As one friend told me: "To say Nkunda is a small problem into a set of larger problems that may be true. But Rwanda is a small country compared to many other African countries. Nevertheless, when he sneezed it across the continent and even other parts of the world who have colds. But I think it is a language of a politician, he knows very well that it would suffer as boredom. Of Similarly, it is the language of wood to find encouraging results obtained in the eastern DRC as part of new relations between the two countries. The people there have become more rwandophobes, but also anti-Kabila. This does not prevent them from taking advantage of opportunities they are able to trade in border with Rwanda. The Interahamwe have become more mobile, but still harmful and increasingly violent. FARDC soldiers have become armed groups, since they are totally unpaid and living longer than ever on the backs of people. Today the Government has restored the security gates at Mugunga and Munigi because the paranoia of the authorities is that in the coming days, the two provinces of North and South Kivu are destabilized by widespread attacks especially on Goma and Bukavu. So honestly ...! "

vaoulais I also know what is going on in the case of a renovated CNDP also circulating on the Internet. It would thus be one of the men Ntaganda, a Habarulema Patrice, who was recently a news broadcast in Goma after which he created with others - all Hutu as his current renovator CNDP. As her family lived in Gisenyi, he was denounced by the Ntaganda afande who cased. He is now detained in Kigali.

Oh nice ball! Difficult beginnings

All philatelists Sower type fans know by heart the day when this pretty female figure, famous allegory of the French Republic, began e-mailing in our country: it is the Thursday, April 2, 1903!

Its charm will quickly make, and his reign will last until the Second World War, setting a record still unmatched today! It will even

chosen again in 1960 to mark the arrival of the new franc.


When offered for sale at Post Office counters, people are said to be rushed, especially in the Paris office, for be served first and acquire this new stamp to 15 cents for mailing letters to the simple procedure: the sower line was born, so named because of long lines that were better provide relief: a feat due to the large talent of Oscar Roty Mouchon and Eugene, its creators.

There are therefore quite easily letters mailed that day. They are also very sought after by collectors, like any first day of issue of a stamp.


Is emotion due to this big news that shook that day the fingers of an employee of the office of the Rue Jouffroy ?

Or a moment of inattention while as every morning he would update the date stamp on it?

Or has it been a victim on the eve of an April Fool? No one will ever know!

Errare humanum est ...

fact remains that the letter mailed flights to Sarlat is found indeed freed from any one of these new stamps, with his vintage Bridge 3 (for 1903), and obliterated the February 2, 1903 instead of April 2!

A nice piece for my collection: it is certainly the most known early cancellation on a stamp type Sower!
And even better since the patch did not exist in February!

But, you say (the most ingenious of you) why the employee did it not err in setting the year, rather than in months? An error occurred
February 2 of the following years would naturally remained without the slightest interest for posterity.
It could just as easily have been mistaken in both the day and month.
Nothing says that this letter was actually mailed on the day of issue stamp. And

well yes! Simply return the letter to discover that she has arrived in the Dordogne after the famous first day: April 3, 1903 in Sarlat, irrefutable evidence that it has been sent from Paris the day before! The hallmark of the postmark.


Like what the postman from Sarlat, in putting their stamp on the back stroke, has transformed the error of his fellow Parisian, which could very well not remain anecdotal, in a great curiosity for philatelist! May his memory be thanked!

Sed perseverare diabolicum ...

CORRUPTION OF SCIENCE

I know that any reader of this blog is, right now, ahead of me on the complex cases that have paralyzed again. All the information this week, I remember that our self-made expert on the DRC, formerly of the UN, former ICG, co-author of the famous UN report that precipitated the outbreak of Umoja wetu, now acting in the role of the innocent face of an independent journalist-cum-philanthropist at university. That's Jason Stearns which I speak. His postings, however, can easily betray the apparent innocence, and show a watermark for whom he works. We can also see a new way chosen by a Euro-American establishment to send us the warning signs, except signs confirmatory claims calendars. A little work on how the singers of all organizations who claim to humanitarian and entrepreneurial as we see contributing to cutting the DRC with such gusto.


In an effort to intellectualism, this week we introduced several initiatives or seen his nose in their inspiration, perhaps. These are initiatives to promote the regulation or control, if you will, of mining in Eastern DRC. He tells us inter alia that there are two bills before the U.S. Congress probably on sexual violence in DRC and the control of the supply chain in natural resources. It seems that a deputy secretary has been charged with planning a strategy for conflict related to minerals. Where we see the inspiration is when he says he has already explained that the cause of conflict in DRC is not found in the ores. It is likely that he gave his opinion and in this I agree with him that trying to control the chain the exploitation and export of mines not solve conflicts. He was surprised that these initiatives have found a more positive reception that the campaign for the withdrawal of MONUC. What amazes me is that it adds to show how initiatives are realized. Excuse me for quoting him in English but I do not want to risk distorted the meaning of his words by an improper translation: "This past weekend, Stanford University has recommended icts That the Board of Trustees take minerals in the Congo conflict Into consideration in icts investment portfolio. They Said: We recommend thats the University vote in Favor of well-written and reasonable shareholder resolutions That companies ask for reports on Their Policies and Their efforts regarding conflict avoidance of conflict and minerals derived minerals. This last piece of text which makes me think of the corruption of science. In other words, since when is it that-a university that respects itself can be an approach as superficial as that contained in these four lines.


DRC chronically suffers from a disease or a short-sighted policy that would restore the state, and here is a prestigious university that calls itself appears to support, I mean an approach that fund, rather than solving the problem of eastern DRC is more complicated. Does Stanford works for the gangsters who bleed the country through Joseph Kabila and his gang of plutocrats? Is Stanford University working for James Kabarebe and his buddies who wanted to annihilate the Congolese General Laurent Nkunda because he worked to restore an environment that would allow the restoration of a true authority of the state. I can not believe that nokos Kigs to go until then. And even if I thought I would find it harder to believe that a university which respects itself to offering an aspirin to cure brain cancer. The only reason that I find is that perhaps our expert was able to present their this as a research project. Since when do we want to reduce the university methods NGO banal? That's why I think we're here on the way to corruption of science, its use for slowing down the peace. Really, really time that Nkunda resumed his job before these people who push Joseph Kabila dépiécer the country have not finished. It was the stuff of military course next Tuesday, but I do not expect much so much so that by appointing James Kabarebe defense minister, the general Kagame has made two things at once, keep the guy more (the guy was going to say destroy) and provide opportunities to the military court to decline jurisdiction as the previous ones. I bet she will say incompetent to judge his minister!! Unless the nokos not surprise me for once in my evidence to the contrary. Do you see a Rwandan court to judge the great James Kabarebe, not because he should not submit to what the English call it double jeopardy.

How To Make Isecticide From Seeds

HELLO MR. JOHN HOLMES THE WOES

Hail to the Chief of Missions of the United Nations Humanitarian who despairs of the situation on an ongoing disaster in the DRC. You've probably read the article on Gettleman The New York Times yesterday. He seems to write Mwenga where he probably accompanied Mr. Holmes. The latter would have confessed that it was impossible not to despair of the DRC. He admits that the instability has become endemic, the FARDC soldier is made that hordes of drug addicts and drunks. He said that sense the situation is deteriorating and may to worse. He regretted that in addition to all this, the Congolese government has undertaken an aggressive campaign to hold back the infamous MONUC. Is this not crocodile tears? What will serve yet another assessment mission to the UN? This organization did not she welcomed the famous Umoja wetu operations and the arrest of Congolese General Laurent Nkunda, declaring, in concert with the entire international community and risky diplomacy Rosemary Museminari and Raymond Tshibanda, that peace was sealed? In reality only

Nkunda had and retains the best strategy to end the FDLR which Gettleman still speaks. Nkunda had and retains only the best strategy to restore stability in Kivu, and hence in the region. It is hoped that his jailers and the international community are reassessing the situation from September 2008. We must find credible actors in the DRC and they are not in government. The Nokos of Kigs also need reliable partners in eastern DRC, not enemies nor serfs. I do not despair of the DRC as Holmes who is hypocritical. I despair of seeing that we are able to miss the excellence and do not recognize. This leads to mediocrity instead of leading to greatness.
