CONGRESUL NATIONAL AFRICAN

Kolmanskop (Namibia)

Kolmanskop este un oras parasit din statul african Namibia, ingropat in nisip. La inceputul secolului XX, portul Luderitz, aflat in apropierea acestuia, era populat de oameni aflati in cautare de diamante. Insa, dupa Primul Razboi Mondial, cand vanzarile diamantelor au scazut, zona a fost, treptat, abandonata. In prezent, din orasul Kolmanskop nu au mai ramas decat niste ruine inghitite de nisipul desertul Namib. Sursa foto: oddee.com...

Ce averi au, de fapt, bogatii Romaniei?

Averile celor mai bogati romani raman un adevarat mister, in ciuda faptului ca, in fiecare an, sunt publicate doua clasamente pe acest subiect. Cum se explica diferentele de sute de milioane de euro intre clasatii pe primele pozitii in cele doua topuri? De exemplu, Frank Timis, investitor in extractia petroliera si minereuri, in domeniul farmaceutic si in cercetare, si-a adjudecat suprematia in clasamentul intocmit de Capital, cu o avere de 1,65 miliarde de euro. Insa, in topul intocmit de For...

Aaleef

Coregrafia apartine lui Taoufiq Izeddiou, iar interpretarea lui Taoufiq Izeddiou si Le Maalem Adil Amimi. Aaleef in araba inseamna eu ma rotesc si in acelasi timp evoca aleph, prima litera a alfabetului. Taoufiq Izzediou marcheaza prin aceasta momentul de initiere si de incertitudine care insoteste negresit perpetua stradanie de a se cunoaste pe sine si de a-si consemna istoria personala. ''Sunt plin de manie. Energia mea este in acelasi timp navalnica, inteligenta, domoala, controlata, obosita...

Boom-ul terenurilor vandute in Africa - o noua forma de colonialism? (Galerie foto)

In ultimii zece ani, 227 milioane de hectare de pamant african au reprezentat obiectul a numeroase tranzactii de vanzare, inchiriere sau concesionare, catre clienti proveniti din lumea intreaga. Pentru a avea o idee mai clara cat de mult reprezinta o astfel de arie, este vorba despre o suprafata echivalenta celei ocupate de Europa nord-occidentala, informeaza La Stampa.Cine sunt cumparatorii In ultimii ani, intreprinzatorii bogati provenind de pe toate meridianele lumii, au investit puternic in...

Campania pentru copiii din Nigeria

Nu in ultimul rand, aceasta campanie urmareste sa atraga atentia asupra suferintelor de care au parte copiii din statul african Nigeria. Imaginea campaniei este tulburatoare, la fel ca mesajul care o insoteste: 'Ti-ar pasa daca s-ar intampla chiar sub ochii tai?'  Esenta campaniei este aceea de a evidentia egoismul nostru, intrucat nu ne pasa decat de ceea ce se intampla langa noi, sub ochii nostri.

Wikileaks: Cum a pus un roman mana pe cea mai mare mina de fier din Africa

Conform Wikileaks, pe 22 ianuarie 2010, presedintele statului african i-a incredintat firmei African Mine...

3-year Ph.D. position at the University of Cologne

The summertime West African heat low (WAHL) over the western Sahara desert exerts a strong control on the continental-scale monsoon circulation and thereby, e.g., affects rainfalls over the Sahel. Until recently the lack of observational data has hindered our understanding of the WAHL dynamics, leading to comparably limited capabilities to predict the West African monsoon. The proposed PhD project will directly benefit from exciting new field activities in this region.   The internatio...
