A Sikhosana ZIMBABWE NEWS VOL. 28 NO. 6 EDITORIAL OAU: Harare Summit Turning Point The Harare Summit of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) was a truely historical gathering; it was a turning point on a number of very important issues. It was good to see such a large gathering of Heads of State and Government, and the deliberations spread over two full working days. The soldiers of Sierra Leone threw the challenge to the OAU by seizing power just as the Summit in Harare was convening. They seized power on Africa DayMay 25 and removed a civilian President who had been in power for only a year. The Constitution for Sierra Leone had been carefully prepared by a United Nations team over a period of 2 to 3 years, and free and fair elections supervised by independent observers had ~een conducted. But, the soldiers just threw away with contempt all that good work, and the will of the people with it. The Summit roundly condemned the coup, and supported ECOWAS, led by Nigeria, which were taking steps to oppose the coup. Ghanaian soldiers also joined forces with Nigeria. The act of taking steps to oppose the coup was a new feature in OAU politics. On the burning international issue of the stalled Middle East peace process, the OAU strongly suppported the representations of Chairman Yasser Arafat, and decided to freeze the relations with Israel at the present level. That was positive action., Elsewhere in this issue, we discuss the desperate situation in the Middle East in the face of the arrogance of Mr Benjamin Netanyau, the Prime Minister of Israel. On Libya, again the OAU decided that, if the dispute with the USA continued to be a festering sore, the member-states would ignore the sanctions regime. On the second day the Summit turned itself into an economic Summit, thereby inaugurating the long process of establishing the African Economic Community on the basis of the Abuja Treaty. That was a very important step. It places the emphasis of future meetings of the OAU where it should be on economic and trade issues. The political power that has now been won has got to be reinforced by economic power. Clearly the struggle for economic independence is going to be a long and arduous one, but the battle has begun. The area of regional and international trade has many intricate and diverse problems that require maximum unity among the developing countries. The rapid integration of African economies would create a strong economic bloc that can bargain with other regional blocs such as the European Union, the ASEAN, NAFTA etc. Without such a bloc Africa would be much weaker. E ZIMBABWE NEWS VOL. 28 NO. 6 Kabila was the star of the Harare summit of the O.A.U. By Our Diplomatic Correspondent. DRC President, Cde Laurent Kabila he quite-spoken, unassuming, confident new head of state of the Diplomatic Republic of the Congo Comrade Laurent Kabila - was the star of the 33rd Summit of the Organisation of African Unity held in Harare on June 2-4, 1997. When his plane touched down at Harare airport there were thousands of people to welcome him, including the Congolese community living in Harare. He was met and greeted with open arms by Comrade Robert Mugabe, President of Zimbabwe, who had supported him all the way during dificult times and days. The Congolese community was delighted to see their new head of state. Among them were Congolese diplomats who worked at the Zairean Embassy in Harare but had not been paid by the Mobutu dictatorship for years.There were also businessmen and women with no travel documents. In the last decade of the decaying dictactorship there was no paper , and no system to issue any documents, except forged ones. It was no surprise that there were enthusias- tic and keen to see the man pushed the decaying dictacto the dustbin of history in only of fighting. Even the last batt trol of the capital, Kinshasa, w people feared would be a bl gruelling affair, turned out to b ful take over of empty barr offices.

Tha development sent the right iall those dictatorships on the that rule without the suppo will of the people. We also hope that the bitter lesson of Zaire has been learnt in AmericaParis, m Brussels, London and Bonn. Successive USA Governments and administrations brought Mobutu to power, and supported him for 32 years against the wishes of the people. Successive European Governments, especially those of Belgium, France, and Switzerland, supported Mobutu, and allowed him to take billions of dollars out of Zaire in order to buy large properties in Switzerland,Belgium, and France.That wealth must be returned to Kabila's government, and to its rightful owners - the people of Zaire (now the Congo). First things first The Kabila Goverment has many urgent problems to tackle. Firstly, it has no money. Mobutu and his relatives and soldiers looted every bank and every Government institution. He needs massive aid from friends, and wellwishers. Secondly, he has to orgqnise the S personnel for the task of administration : (the army, Police, and the civil service). Thirdly, he has to rehabilitate the infrastructure (roads, bridges, water-pipes, who had medicines for clinics, houses, transport, irship into etc). That is the huge task facing him 7 months and his government.To give the minile for con- mum of services to the Congolese peohich many pie, and to return Governmental institutions to normality.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 o ON CA lA N Abstract For six years since 1984 Israel underwent a unique p o litic al experience: i t was ruled by national coalitions supported by more than 75% of the members of parliament. Larger-than-minimal coalitions have always been problematic for traditional coalition theory. The Israeli case provides therefore an opportunity to examine the various actors' motivations and behaviour, as they reflect on coalition theory at 1arge. The assumption that actors are driven by "win maximization" is central to formal models of coalition theory. This assumption led to predictions of winning coalitions which are minimal in size, membership or ideological scope. Non-minimal coalitions were regarded as suboptimal choices, explainable on an ad hoc basis, e.g.

  • From Zionism to Communism’: Emilio Sereni and the Consiglio Di Gestione in Postwar Italy Andrea Bonfanti*
    Modern Italy, 2021 Page 1 of 23, doi:10.1017/mit.2021.29 ‘From Zionism to Communism’: Emilio Sereni and the Consiglio di Gestione in postwar Italy Andrea Bonfanti* School of Marxism, Wuhan University, China (Received 19 October 2020; revised 28 February 2021; final version accepted 6 April 2021) This essay demonstrates that it is impossible to appreciate the actions of the Italian communist Emilio Sereni without considering his Zionist background. Anyone who is interested in understanding the complexities of communism in the past century and to avoid simplistic conclusions about this ideology will benefit from the study. The problem at stake is that researchers often approach communism in a monolithic manner, which does not adequately explain the multiform manifestations (practical and theoretical) of that phenomenon. This ought to change and to this extent this essay hopes to contribute to that recent strand of historical research that challenges simplistic views on commun- ism. More specifically, by analysing the Management Councils that Sereni created in postwar Italy, we can see that many of their features in fact derived from, or found their deepest origins in, his previous experience as a committed socialist Zionist. The study, then, also relates Sereni to and looks at the broader experiences of early twentieth- century Zionism and Italian communism in the early postwar years. Keywords: Emilio Sereni; communism; socialist Zionism; Workers’ Councils; Italian Communist Party. Introduction In recent years, communist studies have been enjoying what one may call a renaissance after the apparent stagnation which lasted the quarter-century that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 (Gilman-Opalsky 2011, 20).

    Confirms CORI country of origin research and information CORI Thematic Report Nigeria: Gender and Age December 2012 Commissioned by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Division of International Protection. Any views expressed in this paper are those of the author and are not necessarily those of UNHCR. CORI Thematic Report, Nigeria: Gender and Age, December 2012 Preface Country of Origin Information (COI) is required within Refugee Status Determination (RSD) to provide objective evidence on conditions in refugee producing countries to support decision making. Quality information about human rights, legal provisions, politics, culture, society, religion and healthcare in countries of origin is essential in establishing whether or not a person’s fear of persecution is well founded. CORI Country Reports are designed to aid decision making within RSD. They are not intended to be general reports on human rights conditions. They serve a specific purpose, collating legally relevant information on conditions in countries of origin, pertinent to the assessment of claims for asylum. Categories of COI included within this report are based on the most common issues arising from asylum applications made on the basis of gender and age by Nigerian nationals. This report covers events up to 10 December 2012. COI is a specific discipline distinct from academic, journalistic or policy writing, with its own conventions and protocols of professional standards as outlined in international guidance such as The Common EU Guidelines on Processing Country of Origin Information, 2008 and UNHCR, Country of Origin Information: Towards Enhanced International Cooperation, 2004. CORI provides information impartially and objectively, the inclusion of source material in this report does not equate to CORI agreeing with its content or reflect CORI’s position on conditions in a country.
