Une Dalida qui aurait emprunté le chemin inverse, l’emmenant des faubourgs de Bruxelles au relatif anonymat de la capitale égyptienne. Natacha Atlas est surtout, depuis une vingtaine d’années, l’incarnation de ce que la world music peut offrir de mieux sur scène, mélangeant des racines orientales, faites de danses du ventre et de youyous hululés, à des rythmes électroniques plus européens, souvenirs de son passage, au début des années 1990, dans le groupe Transglobal Underground. Depuis toujours, elle aime faire le grand écart, construire un pont entre deux rives qu’elle seule semble à même de réunir. Pour sa nouvelle tournée, cette crooneuse des sables s’est entourée d’un aréopage de musiciens issus tout autant du jazz que du folklore arabe. Le résultat est toujours aussi envoûtant, qu’elle entonne le remarquable Rise to Freedom, en hommage à la révolution du Nil de 2011, ou reprenne le joyau qu’est River Man, un titre du compositeur anglais Nick Drake. Natacha Atlas n’aime pas les barrières, encore moins les interdits. Femme du monde, héritière des grandes voix moyen-orientales, on pense à Oum Kalsoum ou à la diva libanaise Fairouz, elle est capable de nous émerveiller avec un concert digne des mille et une nuits étoilées. -
Brief Analysis of the Situation in South Caucasus
Brief Analysis of the Situation in South Caucasus Jimsher Jaliashvili, Professor Grigol Robakidze University, Tbilisi, Georgia Anna Shah, Master’s programme student Grigol Robakidze University, Tbilisi, Georgia Abstract Despite its small size and relatively small population, the South Caucasus occupies an important place in international geopolitics. Region is an important link between East and West that makes the world actors to give great attention to developing a strategy towards the region in order to maximize meaning of own presence in this important geo-strategic area. Above mentioned factors could contribute to the integration of the region for more effective joint action on the world scene as a union. However, to date, this bone of contention is a zone of low-intensity conflicts, the so-called "frozen conflicts" that threaten to "unfreeze" at any time. After the collapse of the Soviet Union over its entire territory ethnic conflicts became flare up. Some of them spilled over into the active full-scale wars. This is what happened in the South Caucasus in the regions of South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Nagorno-Karabakh. These conflicts still remain a stumbling block to normalization of relations of the Caucasian neighbor countries. I. The practice of international life continues to destroy the remnants of illusions associated with the Cold War and the collapse of the bipolar configuration of the world1. Fukuyama's theory2 turned out to be insolvent and the multipolar world living in tolerance for the cultures and customs of each other, respecting the framework of law and morality, and solving ethnic conflict only walking in line of negotiation is just a good, distant fairy tale, an unattainable myth. -

txt2/textos_dos_jornais_portugueses-Correio-10_janeiro-opinião2.10_jan.doc.txt O valor das palavras No último Mundial de Futebol ficámos a conhecer a vuvuzela, uma espécie de corneta com um som entre a sirene e o elefante que é capaz de despertar no monge o espírito de um taliban. Em 2010, 'vuvuzela' foi a nossa palavra do ano, e se dúvidas existiam, confirmámos então que é mais fácil recordar o que pior nos faz. No ano anterior, 2009, graças a Ricardo Araújo Pereira & Cia, é certo, mas, particularmente, às eleições e aos políticos que tínhamos (e ainda temos), ganhou 'esmiuçar', "vocábulo utilizado quando se pretende examinar algo minuciosamente, reduzir a fragmentos, a pó, a esmigalhar ou a esfarelar", segundo o dicionário. Em 25 minutos, na TV, com 'Gato Fedorento esmiuça os sufrágios', este país de poetas passou a saber o valor da palavra referida. Passada a vontade de esmiuçá-los e de esmiuçarmo-nos, e pontapeados pela semântica da economia, elegemos 'austeridade' para 2011. Bateu 'esperança' e até 'troika' e nem a certeza de que já estão a vir 'charters' vingou. Austeridade é "a qualidade de quem é austero"; é "severidade e rigor"; "cuidado escrupuloso em não se deixar dominar pelo que agrada aos sentidos ou deleita a concupiscência". E está tudo dito.

1 ...The Khojaly Massacre Is a Bloody Episode. It Is a Continuation of The
...The Khojaly massacre is a bloody episode. It is a continuation of the ethnic cleansing and genocide policies that the Armenian chauvinist-nationalists have been progressively carrying out against the Azerbaijanis for approximately 200 years. These accursed policies, supported by the authorities of some states, were constantly pursued by Tsarist Russia and the Soviets. After the demise of the USSR these policies led to the displacement of Azerbaijanis from their homelands, exposing them to suffering on a massive scale. In all, two million Azerbaijanis have at various times felt the weight of the policies of ethnic cleansing and genocide pursued by aggressive Armenian nationalists and stupid ideologues of "Greater Armenia". ...Today the Government of Azerbaijan and its people must bring the truth about the Khojaly genocide and all the Armenian atrocities in Nagorny Karabakh, their scale and brutality, to the countries of the world, their parliaments and the public at large and achieve the recognition of these atrocities as an act of genocide. This is the humane duty of every citizen before the spirits of the Khojaly martyrs. An international legal and political assessment of the tragedy and proper punishment of the ideologues, organizers and executors are important in order to avoid in future such barbarous acts against humanity as a whole...
