  • MKA Club Brochure PDF Version.Pub
    Healthy Youth Productive Lives Empowering youth in the fight against HIV/AIDS Malawi’s Mphamvu Kwa Achinyamata Clubs Youth: A Powerful Resource In 2006, the USAID-funded Malawi Teacher Training Activity (MTTA) created the Mphamvu Kwa Achinyamata (MKA) or “Power to the Youth” clubs, to support USAID efforts at promoting school-based HIV and AIDS prevention education in Malawi. This brochure highlights key aspects of the initiative, and profiles just a few of the many successful club activities underway throughout Malawi. The MKA school-based youth development clubs are built on the history of Malawi’s Edzi-Toto Clubs but provide dynamic invigoration of a school/community extra curricular format (clubs) to prevent and mitigate HIV and AIDS among people of all ages, particularly the youth. Clubs are mandated in their by-laws to include out-of-school youth, orphans and children with HIV and AIDS, stimulating community wide dialogue about youth development and HIV. Teacher, youth and community member training and empowerment for the clubs includes training in club formation, leadership skills and how to elect officers, facilitating club meetings and managing club activities, HIV and AIDS prevention, care and support for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and others affected by AIDS. Club members have also received training in intergenerational dialogue techniques, advocacy and lobbying as well as in coordinating and collaborating with other implementing partners operating within their localities. All club activities and projects are selected,

  • Government & Politics Corr
    1 CONCEPTUAL AND CONTEXTUAL BACKGROUND Augustine Titani Magolowondo INTRODUCTION This book is about Government and politics in Malawi. The diversity of issues that are discussed in the subsequent chapters bears testimony to the complexity of this subject matter. The aim of this first chapter is twofold. First, as you may have probably experienced in our daily discourse, the terms Government and politics are often confused with other key terms such as state and nation. As a starting point, this chapter clarifies these related concepts, which are inherently connected but yet conceptually distinct. Second, the discussion in this chapter aims at providing the context within which politics and Government in Malawi operate. In this regard, I look at both the political history and key socio-economic characteristics of Malawi. Finally, I discuss challenges facing Malawi’s politics and Government today. WHAT IS POLITICS? The concept of politics is as old as Government itself. Aristotle, the Greek philosopher (384–322 BC) argued that ‘man is by nature a political animal’. What was meant is that politics is not only inevitable but also essential to human activity. In other words, wherever there are human beings, politics is unavoidable. However, much as Aristotle’s maxim has become almost indisputable among the students of politics, there is no consensus on what exactly is to be understood by politics. To appreciate the conceptual complexity of politics, let us consider for instance the 2000 constitutional amendment to Section 65 of the Malawi Constitution (popularly called the ‘crossing of the floor’ provision). This amendment was to result in any member of Parliament (MP) losing his/her seat should he/she join 1 GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS IN MALAWI any organisation whose objectives were deemed to be political in nature.

  • Losing an Empire, Losing a Role?: the Commonwealth Vision, British Identity, and African Decolonization, 1959-1963
    LOSING AN EMPIRE, LOSING A ROLE?: THE COMMONWEALTH VISION, BRITISH IDENTITY, AND AFRICAN DECOLONIZATION, 1959-1963 By Emily Lowrance-Floyd Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chairperson Dr. Victor Bailey . Dr. Katherine Clark . Dr. Dorice Williams Elliott . Dr. Elizabeth MacGonagle . Dr. Leslie Tuttle Date Defended: April 6, 2012 ii The Dissertation Committee for Emily Lowrance-Floyd certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: LOSING AN EMPIRE, LOSING A ROLE?: THE COMMONWEALTH VISION, BRITISH IDENTITY, AND AFRICAN DECOLONIZATION, 1959-1963 . Chairperson Dr. Victor Bailey Date approved: April 6, 2012 iii ABSTRACT Many observers of British national identity assume that decolonization presaged a crisis in the meaning of Britishness. The rise of the new imperial history, which contends Empire was central to Britishness, has only strengthened faith in this assumption, yet few historians have explored the actual connections between end of empire and British national identity. This project examines just this assumption by studying the final moments of decolonization in Africa between 1959 and 1963. Debates in the popular political culture and media demonstrate the extent to which British identity and meanings of Britishness on the world stage intertwined with the process of decolonization. A discursive tradition characterized as the “Whiggish vision,” in the words of historian Wm. Roger Louis, emerged most pronounced in this era. This vision, developed over the centuries of Britain imagining its Empire, posited that the British Empire was a benign, liberalizing force in the world and forecasted a teleology in which Empire would peacefully transform into a free, associative Commonwealth of Nations.

  • Dynamics of USA-Pakistan Relations in the Post 9/11 Period: Hurdles and Future Prospects
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 2 No. 11; June 2012 Dynamics of USA-Pakistan Relations in the Post 9/11 Period: Hurdles and Future Prospects Shahnaz Akhtar PhD Research Scholar Department of Political Science University of Peshawar Pakistan Abstract Pakistan-USA relations hold greater importance. Since independence of Pakistan, USA and Pakistan have been cooperating with each other not only in the economic field but also politically, socially and diplomatically. USA has always assisted Pakistan in all these fields and has been one of the key allies in providing funds and support. There have been times of mistrust and suspicions as well but while analyzing the overall scenario one can clearly asses that Pakistan’ relationship with USA has been one of the significant features of Pakistan’s foreign policy. This study assesses the importance of this relationship and the hurdles which obstruct cooperation and progress in the Pakistan-USA relationship. Furthermore the dynamics of their relationship after 9/11 with prospects of good will and cooperation in future also form part of this study. Key words: USA –Pakistan relations, terrorism, 9/11, Interests, Islamic militancy 1. Introduction A democratic and stable Pakistan is vital to US interests. After 9/11 two states came closer to each other because of both countries joined efforts against war on terrorism. Pakistan has been praised for its cooperation to counter terrorism although Pakistan is burning in fire of domestic terrorism. Since history there are many ups and downs in Pakistan-USA relations, but Pakistan joined hands with US in terrorism war despite of severe public protest in Pakistan against this decision.

  • CIVIL ACTION : V
    Case 2:05-cv-05213-JF Document 28 Filed 08/03/2006 Page 1 of 7 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA CARLTON A. SHERWOOD, et al. : CIVIL ACTION : v. : : JOHN F. KERRY and : ANTHONY T. PODESTA : No. 05-05213-JF MEMORANDUM AND ORDER Fullam, Sr. J. August 3, 2006 This action for alleged defamation and related torts concerns events which occurred during the last stages of the 2004 presidential election, but most of the first 102 paragraphs of plaintiffs’ complaint rehearse the alleged misdeeds of persons and organizations protesting the Vietnam War, in the 1970s. According to the complaint, the defendant Senator John F. Kerry, the Democratic candidate for president in 2004, was involved in antiwar protests in the 1970s, following his return from the Vietnam conflict. He allegedly had some role in investigating and exposing alleged atrocities committed by U.S. troops during the Vietnam Conflict, and gave testimony before a Senate committee in opposition to further involvement by the United States in that war. The plaintiff Carlton A. Sherwood disagrees with the views allegedly expressed by Senator Kerry in the 1970s, and insists that the alleged atrocities purportedly disclosed by Senator Kerry (or, more accurately, several other Case 2:05-cv-05213-JF Document 28 Filed 08/03/2006 Page 2 of 7 people allegedly associated with Senator Kerry) either did not occur at all, or were grossly exaggerated. Plaintiff Sherwood, who is described in the complaint, at length, as an award-winning journalist of great integrity and renown, concluded that Senator Kerry had insulted the honor of all Vietnam vets, and that the negative aspects of his character should be brought to light before the 2004 presidential election.

  • History of the German Element in Texas from 1820-1850, And
    PD Commons PD Books PD Commons MORITZ TILING HISTORY OF The German Element in Texas FROM 1820- 1850 AND HISTORICAL SKETCHES OF THE GERMAN TEXAS SINGERS' LEAGUE AND HOUSTON TURNVEREIN FROM 1853-1913 BY MORITZ TILING Instructor in History, Houston Academy FIRST EDITION Published by Moritz Thing, Houston, Texas Nineteen Hundred and Thirteen PD Books PD Commons COPYRIGHT BY M. TILING 1913 PREFACE. This plain, unpretending monograph has been written for the purpose of preserving to posterity the records of German achievements in the colonization and upbuilding of the great state of Texas. The pioneer's humble life and courageous struggles are very often left unnoticed by the historian, yet, v/ithout his brave and patient labors none of the great commonwealths of the United States would exist. The early pioneer, whose brawny arm wielded the axe, who cleared the forest and broke the virgin soil, is as much a maker of a country, as the statesman, the diplom- atist and the soldier of today. His faithful work and often hazardous task are well worth remembering. The different Texas histories used in the public schools unfortunately are lamentably deficient with respect to the important part the Germans have taken in the coloniza- tion and shaping of Texas. Some of them, which are used extensively in the schools of the State, do not make any mention at all of the German immigration and its bearing on the rapid development— of Texas, while others at least state briefly that "Texas is indebted to her German till- ers of the soil for developments of great value, and which to Americans had been considered of impossible produc- tion in this climate." (Brown's School History of Texas, p.
