STOP PRESS: Choucha closes

Contributed by Oliver Tringham.

The Tunisian office of UNHCR and the Tunisian Government pushed ahead with the closure of the Choucha Refugee Camp on Sunday, 30 June 2013.  On Friday, 28 June, there was a picture of a digger destroying the lavatories at the camp. Like so much with UNHCR Tunisia, it seems a strange way to behave: normally, you would wait for people to leave before demolishing a site.  UNHCR uses demolition as a tool to get people to leave.

Egypt army statement in full

Military says it will not stand idle as „the national security of the state is in severe danger“.

Last Modified: 01 Jul 2013 19:14
The Egyptian army on Monday gave politicians 48 hours to resolve the country’s political crisis or face intervention by the military. Here is the statement in full:

„Egypt and the whole world witnessed yesterday demonstrations by the great people of Egypt expressing their opinion in an unprecedented, peaceful and civilised way.

Everyone saw the movement of the Egyptian people and heard their voices with the greatest respect and concern. It is necessary that the people receive a reply to their movement and the call from every party with any responsibility in the dangerous circumstances surrounding the nation.

As a main party in the considerations of the future and based on their patriotic and historic responsibilities to protect security and stability, the armed forces state the following:

• The armed forces will not be a party in the circles of politics or governance and are not willing to step out of the role defined for them by the basic ideals of democracy based on the will of the people.

• The national security of the state is exposed to extreme danger by the developments the nation is witnessing, and this places a responsibility on us, each according to his position, to act as is proper to avert these dangers. The armed forces sensed early on the dangers of the current situation and the demands the great people have at this time. Therefore, it previously set a deadline of a week for all political forces in the country to come to a consensus and get out of this crisis. However, the week has passed without any sign of an initiative. This is what led to the people coming out with determination and resolve, in their full freedom, in this glorious way, which inspired surprise, respect and attention at the domestic, regional and international levels.

• Wasting more time will only bring more division and conflict, which we have warned about and continue to warn about. The noble people have suffered and have found no one to treat them with kindness or sympathize with them. That puts a moral and psychological burden on the armed forces, which find it obligatory that everyone drop everything and embrace these proud people, which have shown they are ready to do the impossible if only they feels there is loyalty and dedication to them.

• The armed forces repeat their call for the people’s demands to be met and give everyone 48 hours as a last chance to shoulder the burden of the historic moment that is happening in the nation, which will not forgive or tolerate any party that is lax in shouldering its responsibility.

• The armed forces put everyone on notice that if the demands of the people are not realised in the given time period, it will be obliged by its patriotic and historic responsibilities and by its respect for the demands of the great Egyptian people to announce a road map for the future and the steps for overseeing its implementation, with participation of all patriotic and
sincere parties and movements – including the youth, who set off the glorious revolution and continue to do so – without excluding anyone.

• A salute of appreciation and pride to the sincere and loyal men of the Armed Forces, who have always borne and will continue to bear their patriotic responsibilities toward the great people of Egypt with determination, decisiveness and pride. God save Egypt and its proud, great people.“

La Tunisie malade du racisme

De nombreux faits et propos, ancrés dans la culture tunisienne, témoignent d’une véritable discrimination à l’encontre des Africains subsahariens. Ces agissements proviennent le plus souvent d’une forte méconnaissance et de préjugés véhiculés par les médias.

Après L7a9ed et Oukacha Family, d’autres rappeurs marocains soutiennent Weld 15

Fes, Rabat, Temara, Salé, Casablanca et Oujda… Huit rappeurs marocains provenant de 6 villes différentes se sont réunis sur un seul et même morceau avec clip. Le message est clair, précis et direct : Les artistes sont contre la censure imposée au RAP conscient, et à l’engagement politique ou social en général. Da Legend, le collectif L’Bassline (Hamza, Reda et Mehdi), Al Nasser, L’Jasos, Klass-A et Dah Doc ont traité le sujet de différents angles, en évoquant sans cesse le nom de « Weld El 15 », rappeur engagé condamné à la prison en Tunisie.

Ce morceau est non seulement une manière de protester contre la censure, mais c’est un cri unanime qui rassemble tous les artistes engagés du monde arabe.

Tunis Choucha Camp

Libyan refugees can neither return nor stay in Choucha
A Refuge No More
Camp Choucha officially closed on June 30 but some refugees are refusing to go.
1/7/2013 | Ben Gardane

Although United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) officially closed Choucha Camp— 10 kilometers away from the Tunisian-Libyan border— on June 30, hundreds of refugees are refusing to leave the facility that was opened in 2011 to accommodate thousands of refugees, mostly from Libya, following the fall of Muammar Gaddafi.

Statement from Edward Snowden in Moscow

Monday July 1, 21:40 UTC

One week ago I left Hong Kong after it became clear that my freedom and safety were under threat for revealing the truth. My continued liberty has been owed to the efforts of friends new and old, family, and others who I have never met and probably never will. I trusted them with my life and they returned that trust with a faith in me for which I will always be thankful.On Thursday, President Obama declared before the world that he would not permit any diplomatic „wheeling and dealing“ over my case. Yet now it is being reported that after promising not to do so, the President ordered his Vice President to pressure the leaders of nations from which I have requested protection to deny my asylum petitions.This kind of deception from a world leader is not justice, and neither is the extralegal penalty of exile. These are the old, bad tools of political aggression. Their purpose is to frighten, not me, but those who would come after me.For decades the United States of America has been one of the strongest defenders of the human right to seek asylum. Sadly, this right, laid out and voted for by the U.S. in Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is now being rejected by the current government of my country. The Obama administration has now adopted the strategy of using citizenship as a weapon. Although I am convicted of nothing, it has unilaterally revoked my passport, leaving me a stateless person. Without any judicial order, the administration now seeks to stop me exercising a basic right. A right that belongs to everybody. The right to seek asylum.In the end the Obama administration is not afraid of whistleblowers like me, Bradley Manning or Thomas Drake. We are stateless, imprisoned, or powerless. No, the Obama administration is afraid of you. It is afraid of an informed, angry public demanding the constitutional government it was promised — and it should be.I am unbowed in my convictions and impressed at the efforts taken by so many.Edward Joseph SnowdenMonday 1st July 2013

Spiegel Online schreibt, dass sich „die Stiftung von Großkonzernen zusehends an den Rand gedrängt fühlte. Deren aggressive Industriepolitik sei immer weniger mit den Prinzipien der Stiftung vereinbar gewesen, die sich lokaler Wertschöpfung und maximaler Umweltverträglichkeit verschrieben habe, sagt ein Insider. Aus Sicht der Stiftung hätten Großkonzerne versucht, die Marke Desertec zu kapern, um das eigene Image aufzubessern. […]“
