May 22, 2006 Egypt: Human Rights Protests
Despite promises of liberalization, repression is continuing
against human rights reformers in Egypt, and U.S. annual aid to
Egypt of some $1.7 billion is expected to continue at the same
level in the next fiscal year. In addition to critiques from
international human rights organizations, Egyptian bloggers are
increasingly prominent in disseminating critique of the regime in
both English and Arabic.
May 22, 2006 Africa: Unions, Scholars Meet
Meeting in Cairo earlier this month, representatives of African
unions and African intellectuals met to share their critiques of
current development policies, targeting both international
financial institutions and African governments. African scholars
had documented the failures of structural adjustment decades ago,
noted political economist Adebayo Olukoshi. But with few exceptions
these policies are still being imposed.
