Venciendo al miedo en la lucha por los derechos humanos

25 Feb 2007 at 3:26pm

Este domingo 25 continuó el trabajo en el Foro de Soberanía Alimentaria, donde los participantes se dividieron en grupos para seguir tratando los siete temas principales que se ha planteado discutir en esta actividad. En el grupo que se había propuesto debatir sobre las condiciones sociales y la migración forzada, Radio Mundo Real entrevistó a Victor Nzuzi Mbembe, miembro de una asociación campesina de la República Democrática del Congo llamada Grupo de Reflexión y Apoyo para la Promoción Rural, quien expuso sus preocupaciones con respecto al tema que se trataba en la reunión. Nzuzi Mbembe señaló que se encontraba participando en el Foro para tender puentes con otros campesinos del mundo, a quienes también afectan las políticas impuestas por los grandes productores. Con respecto a la migración en particular, fue categórico al afirmar que ésta "fluía como el agua", y que por lo tanto no había que detenerla. pa href="http://www.radiomundoreal.fm/rmr/?q=es/node/21679"leer más/a/p

Acusan al Banco Mundial de promover la destrucción de la selva del Congo

8 Oct 2007 at 1:01pm

Una auditoría independiente realizada sobre las prácticas del Banco Mundial en la República Democrática del Congo acusa al organismo de haber promovido la destrucción de la selva congoleña, la segunda de mayor extensión a nivel mundial, poniendo en peligro las vidas de decenas de miles de indígenas pigmeos. El documento de los auditores fue reproducido en parte por el periódico inglés The Guardian, e incluye otras acusaciones, tales como que el Banco engañó al gobierno del Congo en lo que refería al valor de la selva. La auditoría sobre las actividades del Banco se produjo luego de que una alianza de doce grupos pigmeos presentara quejas que indicaban que el sistema respaldado por el organismo –que implicaba otorgar vastas concesiones de tala a ciertas compañías- estaba causando un “daño irreversible” en la selva. pa href="http://www.radiomundoreal.fm/rmr/?q=es/node/23863"leer más/a/p

Contaminan río con desechos radioactivos en el Congo

13 Nov 2007 at 12:43pm

El gobierno de la República Democrática del Congo le ha ordenado a los residentes de la ciudad de Likasi que se mantengan alejados del río Mura, debido a que se encuentra contaminado con minerales altamente radioactivos que fueron arrojados ilegalmente al curso de agua la semana pasada. “Hemos difundido mensajes en la radio diciéndole a la policía y a las autoridades locales que impidan que las personas beban agua de este río o laven en él, y que no permitan que se utilice el agua para el ganado”, señaló el ministro del Medio Ambiente, Didace Pembe, según recoge la agencia de Naciones Unidas IRIN. pa href="http://www.radiomundoreal.fm/rmr/?q=es/node/24167"leer más/a/p

What the heck does a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umami"umami mean/a? Here's what they have to say for themselves:blockquotewe are:br / br /all from chapel hill, north carolinabr /all live in new york citybr /all play rhythm instrumentsbr /guitars are for pansysbr / br /we look like a href="http://www.tasteumami.com/bunny.gif"this/a/blockquoteOne wants to be able to take bands at their word when reading bio statements such as the above. Dear Umami: we'd like to believe what you say, but can you be trusted? We hardly even know you... Fear not loyal readers, I shall dig deeper.br /br /I can say for certain that they're not lying about the first three statements. I know they live in New York, they played a show with two of Ear Farm's NYC favorites (a href="http://www.limbsmusic.com/news.html"Limbs/a a href="http://susuband.com/"SUSU/a) and they also played a a href="http://www.toddpnyc.com/"Todd P/a show recently. I know they're from Chapel Hill, we've got some NC friends in common. I know they all play rhythm instruments, the syncopated bang bang slam of their Shinhoto-Chi-Ha bass-bass-drums attack is driving me crazy right now as I listen to "Honeysmack" and try to type. Crazy in a good way. The bass... the other bass... the melodic rhythm-ness of it all... shit! There's SO much of it! Must. Move. Body. Dance. Head dance. Mini-headbang. Damn I bet these guys are a kick ass live band.br /br /Where was I? So, okay, after listening to "Honeysmack" a few times in a row, maybe they're right to say "guitars are for pansys". This band sure doesn't need no stinkin' guitars (I'd just like the record to show that I looooove "stinkin' guitars", and that's perhaps the best evidence yet of why you should pay attention when I say that this band, sans guitar, is a force to be reckoned with). Umami has found a guitar-less happy place for their music to live. An in between zone where they've combined the low end growl of Death From Above 1979 (I also hear a certain Trans Am-itude at work, and, to be frank, quite a bit of Peter Hook in the bass playing) with the understated rhythmic vocal grace of Pinback. I just call 'em like I see 'em. Or, hear 'em rather.br /br /Which is why I'm going to call out Umami on the one lie in the above "biographical" statement. Hello sirs, excuse me, I'm sorry but you do not look like a href="http://www.tasteumami.com/bunny.gif"this/a. That's just a cartoon drawing of two woodlands creatures drinking and playing cards and I've met at least one of you before. And THAT Umami member was neither cartoon rabbit nor squirrel.

And hey, maaaaybe the other two Umamis ido/i in fact look like a href="http://www.tasteumami.com/bunny.gif"that picture/a. If so, those little critters sure do kick out the jams.br /br /bListen:/bbr /a href="http://earfarm.com/music/03%20Honeysmack.mp3""Honeysmack"/abr /a href="http://earfarm.com/music/01%20Congo.mp3""Congo"/abr /br /See a href="http://www.tasteumami.com/shows.html"Umami live/a.br /br /Visit a href="http://www.myspace.com/umamiband"Umami on MySpace/a.
