Piso 0 com ‘trancas à porta’ Partidos falam em “tentativa de impedir o escrutínio democrático”. JPP e Chega viram negados os pedidos para acederem à cave do Hospital Dr. João de Almada, espaço que o SESARAM destinou para acolher utentes que já estavam com alta clínica no Hospital Dr. Nélio Mendonça. Ambos os partidos acusam a Secretaria Regional de Saúde e Proteção Civil de “tentativa de impedir o escrutínio democrático da ação governativa”. Enquanto o maior partido da oposição está a preparar fundamentação jurídica para recorrer da decisão junto das instâncias competentes, o Chega vê na recusa de acesso um reforço das dúvidas que já levantou sobre o funcionamento daquele espaço.   PSP-Madeira está “à beira do colapso” O deputado do CHEGA na Assembleia da República, Francisco Gomes, denunciou aquilo que considera ser uma situação de extrema gravidade no Comando Regional da PSP da Madeira, na sequência de informações e...

Addressing the Public as Power Abstract Eritrean political discourse assigns the public several familiar roles: victims whose suffering condemns the government, a population to administer, a force to mobilize, and a constituency to represent. Each relationship leaves a further question: how do citizens acquire the capacity to place conditions on those who govern them? Building on earlier Eritrean work on civic power, education, and transition planning, this essay develops an argument for a sustained campaign of civic preparedness addressed directly to the public.

It then connects this practical capacity to the Pledged Public and considers how widely shared knowledge might support cooperation before formal organization becomes possible. The proposal is a research and communication project that prepares...

Après quelques jours de flottement, le gouvernement de Brazzaville est sorti du bois. Comme impavides, les vaches regardent passer les trains, l’image figée de Serge Constant Bounda, Ministre des Affaires étrangères du Congo-Brazzaville, écoutant religieusement le chef de la diplomatie de la RD Congo Madame Thérèse Wagner dérouler le narratif du kidnapping des militaires de Brazzaville survenu à Makotimpoko a coupé le souffle et a laissé sans voix les populations du Congo-Brazzaville. « Le Congo-Brazzaville n’est pas un pays va-t-en guerre mais le Congo ne continuera pas à rester indifférent face à tout acte de provocation, à tout acte d’incursion, à tout acte d’intimidation » a tempêté Anatole Collinet MAKOSSO Premier ministre de la République du Congo. Tempête dans un verre d’eau. Anatole Collinet Makosso joue au médecin après la mort en exhibant ses petits biscotos. Brazzaville n’en est pas à sa première humiliation militaire dans la sous-région. Brazzaville est coutumier du...

Sunday Standard Cramped homes, blocked streets- The hidden crisis in Botswana’s cities One in every 10 Batswana city dwellers live in neighbourhoods that look crowded and chaotic. These are areas where houses are packed too close together, streets are too narrow for cars to pass, and there is very little planned open spaces. Scientists and planners call this “ morphological deprivation,” which is just a fancy way of saying a neighbourhood’s physical layout is cramped and poorly built because it lacks proper town planning. Botswana is among the African countries where about 10% of the urban population lives in neighbourhoods showing signs of morphological deprivation. .ihc-locker-wrap{} There’s more to this story But to keep reading, we need you to subscribe.
