Le trouve à la croisée des chemins. La période de leadership rwandais explique que le changement transition prévue par les accords d’Arusha doit des mentalités est la condition indispensable au s'achever dans moins d'un an par un référendum plein exercice des droits et libertés civiques. Ainsi, constitutionnel suivi d'élections pluralistes, depuis trois ans, les partis politiques ont été soit symbole de la démocratisation réussie du pays. Or, décapités soit forcés d'accepter le consensus aujourd'hui, les libertés civiques et politiques sont imposé par le FPR. La presse indépendante a été fortement limitées et aucune indication n’apparaît muselée et la société civile doit survivre entre dans les ébauches de projet constitutionnel que répression et cooptation.

  • By Nigel Collins a GOD AMONG MORTALS
    t was a difficult decision to make, play softball with my buddies from work or watch MEMORIES OF MARVIN HAGLER Marvelous Marvin Hagler challenge middleweight champion Alan Minter on television. The thorny issue was settled when a teammate somehow jury-rigged a small TV to the battery of his car, which was parked on the stretch of grass where we played. IFor some inexplicable reason that autumn afternoon in 1980 was the first thing that flashed through my mind after learning that Marvin had died, unexpectedly, March 13 at the age of 66. Maybe it was because he made his bones fighting a series of badass Philly middleweights at the Spectrum, located almost within homerun distance from where we clustered around a middle-aged Chevy with a black and white TV on its roof—an echo of the time when folks huddled around a radio to listen to Joe Louis fight. Our game wasn’t delayed for long. Hagler, a savvy, ambidextrous southpaw with a jackhammer punch, stopped Minter in the third round. The quick demise of the Brit sparked a disgraceful racist-fueled riot fermented by drunken thugs among the sellout crowd of 12,000 at London’s Wembley Arena. A fusillade of beer bottles came crashing A GOD into the ring like mortar shells and there were no foxholes in which to hide. AMONG MORTALS By Nigel Collins A GOD AMONG MORTALS What should have been the greatest moment of Hagler’s career turned into a scramble for safety when hooligans and degenerates pelted the ring with gar- bage following Hagler’s stoppage of Alan Minter to win the middleweight title in London in 1980.

    14 Established 1961 Sports Monday, March 15, 2021 Photo of the day Abu Dhabi-owned Mumbai City win first title NEW DELHI: Mumbai City have clinched their maiden Indian Super League title just over a year after being taken over by the owners of English Premier League giants Manchester City. India mid- fielder Bipin Singh scored a 90th-minute winner to edge out three-time winners ATK Mohun Bagan 2- 1 in the final played behind closed doors in Goa on Saturday. The Sergio Lobera-coached Mumbai, who had already qualified for the AFC Champions League by finishing top of the regular-season standings, became just the second team to complete the dou- ble by going on to win the four-team finals. Bengaluru FC first achieved the feat in 2019. The Abu Dhabi-controlled City Football Group took a majority stake of the Indian club in November 2019 to add to their stable of seven oth- er clubs, including Manchester City, who have won the Premier League four times since they were bought by the company in 2008. City Football Group’s majority shareholder is Abu Dhabi United Group, the investment company owned by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a member the Abu Dhabi royal family. Ranbir Kapoor, a Bollywood actor, and Bimal Parekh, a fund manager for Bollywood stars, also own a 35 per cent stake in Mumbai, who joined the Indian Super League when it began in 2014. All 11 Indian Super League teams were confined to sepa- Adrien Fourmaux racing during the M sport PET in Rovaniemi, Finland.
