À : S.E Moussa Faki Le Président De La Commission De L'union Africaine Boîte Postale 3243, Addis Abeba, Éthiopie À : S.E Moussa Faki Le Président de la Commission de l'Union africaine Boîte postale 3243, Addis Abeba, Éthiopie 13 avril 2020 Son Excellence, Re : Lettre ouverte sur le traitement xénophobe, raciste et inhumain des Africains en Chine Nous présentons nos compliments à Son Excellence. Les peuples soussignés représentent un large éventail de citoyens de l'Union africaine et comprennent des organisations de la société civile (OSC), des organisations de femmes et des mouvements féministes, des organisations de jeunesse, des associations professionnelles, des avocats, des juges, des universitaires, des hommes d'affaires, des membres du clergé, des artistes, des activistes et des journalistes. Nous notons avec satisfaction de l'engagement de l'UA à poursuivre la transformation de l'Union africaine, qui est passée d'une union de gouvernements à une véritable union des peuples africains qui valorise la participation populaire et l'appropriation par les peuples africains. Nous apprécions également l'engagement de l'UA à assurer l'intégration sociale, politique et économique de l'Afrique. Que le continent parle d'une seule voix dans les affaires mondiales. Nous apprécions la base et les valeurs du partenariat qui animent l'Agenda 2063 de l'UA, notamment les valeurs d'égalité, de responsabilité mutuelle, de réciprocité et de solidarité. À cet égard et compte tenu des bonnes relations que l'Union africaine et la majorité de ses États membres ont entretenues jusqu'à présent avec la Chine, nous souhaitons exprimer notre plus profonde inquiétude et condamner fermement les récents actes de discrimination, de xénophobie et de racisme à l'encontre des Africains en Chine. Nous nous félicitons des déclarations du Groupe africain des ambassadeurs à Pékin et des réactions des différents gouvernements africains, ainsi que de vos bons offices à cet égard. Il est nécessaire de transformer ces déclarations en actions concrètes qui mettent fin à l'horrible déshumanisation des Africains en Chine. Son Excellence, Les autorités chinoises soumettraient les Africains de la province de Guangdong, notamment, à des tests rigoureux, à des mises en quarantaine et à des traitements inhumains. Cette discrimination et stigmatisation des Africains, qui consiste à les contraindre à une enquête épidémique et un test d'acide nucléique, une quarantaine de quatorze (14) jours même s'ils n'ont pas voyagé en dehors de leur juridiction, ne sont entrés en contact avec des personnes infectées, n’ont pas eu un contact étroit ou ne présentant pas des symptômes du COVID-19, est une violation des lois et principes internationaux des droits humains. C'est inhumain et contraire à tous les principes de dignité et d'humanité commune qui devraient idéalement guider les relations entre la Chine et l'Afrique. Le fait de ne cibler que les Africains est un acte xénophobe et raciste contraire à l'esprit du FOCAC 8. Son Excellence, les liens économiques solides de coopération de l'Afrique avec la Chine ne devraient pas se développer au détriment des droits humains et de la dignité humaine. Ce sont là les principes fondamentaux de notre Acte constitutif 2000. Son Excellence, ces événements ignobles et d'autres plaintes récurrentes concernant les activités illicites des entreprises chinoises en Afrique exigent désormais que le cadre de coopération établisse des normes claires de responsabilité mutuelle. Ces normes de responsabilité doivent être formulées avec la participation active des citoyens africains. Nous pensons que sans un cadre solide de responsabilité mutuelle, le message de solidarité prêché par la Chine aux Africains sonnera faux. La participation des Africains à la définition du cadre de partenariat garantira que le partenariat Sino-africain ait un visage humain et se reflète dans la conduite des affaires chinoises en Afrique, et que notre solidarité mutuelle soit également une réalité qui se reflète dans les rues des villes et des provinces chinoises. Son Excellence, un cadre de partenariat participatif et inclusif qui reflète les principes d'Accra, de Busan et de Mexique placera les droits humain et les droits des peuples au centre des préoccupations ; s’attaquera au déséquilibre commercial, à la dette galopante ; limitera le dumping de produits de mauvaise qualité en renforçant la surveillance des normes ; contrôlera les flux financiers illicites et les pratiques de corruption des entreprises chinoises opérant en Afrique. Ces interventions décisives sont essentielles pour préserver la dignité de l'Afrique et de ses peuples. Son Excellence, l'Union africaine a bien fait de protester officiellement auprès de ses homologues chinois. Nous exhortons à présent vos bons offices et les dirigeants africains à exiger une enquête complète et indépendante sur les violations susmentionnées et à prendre immédiatement des mesures correctives. Nous pensons que l'esprit de solidarité et de partenariat exige au minimum que la Chine présente ses excuses et répare cette atteinte grave faite aux peuples africains. Nous pensons que la Chine comprend que nous, en tant que peuple africain, méritons le respect et l'égalité de traitement. Nous restons à votre disposition pour répondre à toute question supplémentaire que vous pourriez avoir à Hassan Shire [email protected], phone +256772752752 ; Fatou Diagne [email protected] phone +221773335845 ; ou Arnold Tsunga [email protected], phone +27716405926. Nous profitons de cette occasion pour vous assurer une fois de plus, Son Excellence, de notre plus haute considération.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Approximately one quarter of Zimbabwean adults left their country of birth during the past twenty years. These sojourners are increasingly dispersed as tightening immigration regimes in preferred destinations and fluctuating global opportunities lead them to places with fewer historical links to Zimbabwe. This dispersive process fractures many families between multiple international locations. Nevertheless, the idea of family remains centrally important to diasporans, who work with relatives around the world to care for children and elders, to acquire important documents like passports, and to prepare for an eventual return home. Following from performative and relational theorizations of kinship, this dissertation argues that collaborative projects are crucibles in which families are forged and reconfigured. This exploration of how dispersion shapes family life deploys three analytical lenses: history, space and technology. Contemporary journeys are historically linked to a century of dispossession and labor-migration in Southern Africa. Colonial governments used onerous “bioinformational regimes” to subjugate Africans and profit from their labor.

  • Zimbabwe Page 1 of 20
    Zimbabwe Page 1 of 20 Zimbabwe Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2006 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 6, 2007 Zimbabwe, with a population of approximately 11.6 million, is constitutionally a republic, but the government, dominated by President Robert Mugabe and his Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (ZANU PF) since independence, was not freely elected and is authoritarian. The last two national elections, the presidential election in 2002 and the parliamentary elections in March 2005, were not free and fair. Although the constitution allows for multiple parties, the ruling party and security forces intimidated and committed abuses against opposition parties and their supporters and obstructed their activities. The divided Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) is the country's principal opposition; despite the fraudulent elections, the MDC factions held 41 of 120 elected seats in the House of Assembly and seven of 50 elected seats in the Senate at year's end. The civilian authorities generally maintained control of the security forces, but often used them to control opposition to the ruling party. The government engaged in the pervasive and systematic abuse of human rights. The ruling party's dominant control and manipulation of the political process through intimidation and corruption effectively negated the right of citizens to change their government. Unlawful killings and politically motivated kidnappings occurred. The state sanctioned the use of excessive force and torture, and security forces tortured members of the opposition, union leaders, and civil society activists. Prison conditions were harsh and life threatening. Security forces arbitrarily arrested and detained journalists, demonstrators, and religious leaders; lengthy pretrial detention was a problem.
