  • Policy Brief Zambia 50/50
    50/50 POLICY BRIEF ZAMBIA MARCH 2020 Key facts This country policy brief sets out key issues and options for the increased represen- tation of women in politics in Zambia following the 2016 elections in which women's political representation at national and local level is still far below the 50% espoused in various commitments made by Zambia. The issue is of critical importance given the fact that: • The country's next elections are in 2021. • Unlike many ESARO countries, there is no provision at all for Temporary Special Measures (TMS) to promote women's political participation at any level of governance in Zambia. • The Constitution Amendment Bill of 2019 presents an opportunity to introduce changes. • There is considerable traction in Zambia around electoral reform at national, A differently abled voter casting her vote at Loto Primary School in Mwense District. though not local level.

  • Zambia 2017 Human Rights Report
    ZAMBIA 2017 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Zambia is a constitutional republic governed by a democratically elected president and a unicameral national assembly. In August 2016 the country held elections under an amended constitution for president, national assembly seats, and local government, as well as a referendum on an enhanced bill of rights. The incumbent, Patriotic Front (PF) President Edgar Chagwa Lungu, was re-elected by a tight margin. A legal technicality saw the losing main opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) candidate, Hakainde Hichilema, unsuccessfully challenge the election results. International and local observers deemed the election as having been credible but cited a number of irregularities. The pre- election and postelection periods were marred by limits on press freedom and political party intolerance resulting in sporadic violence across the country. Although the results ultimately were deemed a credible reflection of votes cast, media coverage, police actions, and legal restrictions heavily favored the ruling party and prevented the election from being genuinely fair. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. In accordance with the constitution, all security and defense service chiefs reported to the president through the minister of defense. The most significant human rights issues included: arbitrary killings which were prosecuted by authorities; excessive use of force by police; harsh and life- threatening prison conditions; arbitrary arrest; interference with privacy; restrictions on freedoms of the press, speech, and assembly; high-level official corruption; trafficking in persons; and criminalization and arrest of persons engaged in consensual same-sex sexual relationships. The government selectively applied the law to prosecute or punish individuals who committed abuses and mostly targeted those who opposed the ruling party.

  • Taxonomy of Tropical West African Bivalves V. Noetiidae
    Bull. Mus. nati. Hist, nat., Paris, 4' sér., 14, 1992, section A, nos 3-4 : 655-691. Taxonomy of Tropical West African Bivalves V. Noetiidae by P. Graham OLIVER and Rudo VON COSEL Abstract. — Five species of Noetiidae are described from tropical West Africa, defined here as between 23° N and 17°S. The Noetiidae are represented by five genera, and four new taxa are introduced : Stenocista n. gen., erected for Area gambiensis Reeve; Sheldonella minutalis n. sp., Striarca lactea scoliosa n. subsp. and Striarca lactea epetrima n. subsp. Striarca lactea shows considerable variation within species. Ecological factors and geographical clines are invoked to explain some of this variation but local genetic isolation could not be excluded. The relationships of the shallow water West African noetiid species are analysed and compared to the faunas of the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Panamic and Indo- Pacific regions. Stenocista is the only genus endemic to West Africa. A general discussion on the relationships of all the shallow water West African Arcoidea is presented. The level of generic endemism is low and there is clear evidence of circumtropical patterns of similarity between species. The greatest affinity is with the Indo-Pacific but this pattern is not consistent between subfamilies. Notably the Anadarinae have greatest similarity to the Panamic faunal province. Résumé. — Description de cinq espèces de Noetiidae d'Afrique occidentale tropicale, ici définie entre 23° N et 17° S. Les Noetiidae sont représentés par cinq genres.

  • En Route to the Cape Verde Islands: Las Palmas – Santiago
    EN ROUTE TO THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS: LAS PALMAS – SANTIAGO El Hierro – the most pristine of the Canary Islands Little El Hierro with its tranquil villages is the perfect island to unwind. Far from the bustle of the Canaries, walkers and hikers find here their perfect natural paradise. From steep ciffs to green highlands, from lava deserts to mystical cloud forests, this small volcanic island of just 278 square kilometres (107 square miles) features the most diverse natural landscapes and temperate zones. The rich cultural mix of Cape Verde Not just geographically, Cape Verde is situated between Africa, the Caribbean and Europe. The Portuguese colony was a hub of the slave trade and exile for the religiously persecuted. Since 1461, customs, musical traditions and genes have amalgamated to the entirely new Creole culture. In 1975, the República Cabo Verde proudly declared its independence. São Vicente – native island of Cesária Évora Violin sounds mingle with African drums, Fado meets Polka and creates musical styles like Morna, Batuque and Funaná: The Cape Verde Islands are a melting pot of world music. Cesária Évora from lively Mindelo was the isles’ most famous singer. Barefoot and with a sweet melancholy, she sang of love, hurt and hope and is still revered today as the “Queen of Morna”. Santo Antão, the island of contrast The second largest island of Cape Verde enchants with its ITINERARY spectacular natural diversity. While the volcanic craters in the barren south are reminiscent of moonscapes, rocky Day 1 Las Palmas/Gran Canaria mountainous landscapes alternate with green and fertile valleys in the north.
