Zimbabwe: Not the MDC!
Carlos Otero (2008-05-01)
It is interesting that there is very little comment in relation to the origins of the Zimbabwe crisis. Had the Lancaster House agreement been fulfilled, perhaps the land reform programme would have been more timely and orderly. ...
Private ownership of Africa's gene pool
Carol B. Thompson (2008-05-01)
Thank you for the helpful analysis! http://www.pambazuka.org/en/issue/361 It shows well the Gates contradictions. A major point missed in the article, however, is that AGRA capitalists do not only w...

The article and analysis is especially topical [China still a small player in Africa, http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/features/46990 China's emergence as a key economic player in Africa deserves critical analysis.

Africans beware of British Airways
Ayodeji Omotade (2008-04-14)
On the 27th of March 2008 at about 12:30pm, I boarded the British Airways flight BA75 and I went straight to seat 53C. On getting to my seat, there were noises from an individual being forcibly restrained but who was not visible because some police o...

I would like to commend Bill Fletcher for his well articulated article on Zimbabwe [http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/features/47437]. Quite enlightening. However, I would like to correct his wrong impression that Robert Mugabe was the main leader...
Time for Uncle Bob to retire!
Malawi (2008-04-22)
The man, hero, fighter, Obert Mugabe is old. Its time for him to go and leave power to either those in his party or to those who win. He dealayed a bit, and his party has to loose power, fighter or no fighter humans are not anybody's property, not in the new era....

Africa stand up, clean up your act!
Alfred Mafuleka (2008-04-15)
Zimbabwe remains a sensitive issue, that has been allowed to fester to almost unredeemable proportions. But it is the people of Zimbabwe who must stand up and be counted. Yes, they need support from all of us in Africa and the world, but they must know that they have the power to decide how they want their country to move forward. ...

Mie Takaki (2008-03-26)
Libreville– Despite the Japanese Government’s emphasis that it is an international development forum for Africa, Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD) and its action plan are still pretty much perceived as Japan’s official aid package deal towards Africa. ...

Horace Campbell - whom do you write for?
J E Burke (2008-03-25)
I've finished reading Prof. Campbell's comments [http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/features/46809], and I can see that he is enthusiastic, encouraged, and hopeful regarding the candidacy of Barack Obama. But I had to wade through way too many words to find his actual points, and many of those words were confusing. I long to read clearly expressed incisive thought, and this just doesn't qualify. Perhaps there is an in-crowd who shares a common understanding of some of the terms that are opaque to me, and I'm not part of that group....
Women advocates: Long way to go
L D Alabi, Legal Watch Kaduna (2008-03-25)
Good article by Roselyn Musa [http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/panafrican/46518] but I think African advocates of women's rights have a really long way to go and must work more using a results based approach rather than the 'satisfy the donor' ap...
