  • The Terror Trade Times
    The Terror Trade Times Amnesty International www.amnesty.org JUNE 2002 AI Index : ACT 31/001/2002 Issue No. 3 Page 1 (cont’d page 2) No arms for atrocities G8's uncontrolled trade in arms and military aid undermines fundamental human rights and sustainable development This issue of The Terror Trade Times, largely examines ways in which military and security exports from seven of the G8 countries - the USA, the Russian Federation, France, the United Kingdom (UK), Germany, Italy and Canada - are contributing to human rights abuses and undermining the prospects for social and economic development around the world. All states have a fundamental legal obligation to assess whether the arms and security equipment and training they transfer are likely to be used by the recipients to commit human rights abuses and to ensure that through such transfers they are not knowingly assisting in such abuses. Arms transfers are not lawful just because the recipients are government agents or the transfers have been authorized by government officials. They can only be lawful if they are made in accordance with international standards. The failure of governments to fulfil this obligation is contributing to the destruction of millions of lives, particularly in Africa. The consequences of irrespon-sible arms transfers are there for all to see. Yet governments, far from learning from their mistakes, seem set to make the problem even worse. The current US-led “war against terrorism” is being accompanied by massive transfers of military aid to those governments that have shown little regard for human rights protection. There has been no reduction in existing US military aid to countries such as Israel (US$2.04 billion), Egypt (US$1.3 billion), Jordan, Tunisia and Colombia.

  • Beyond Victims: Re-Representation of Women in Conflict
    Pathways to African Feminism and Development- Journal of African Women’s Studies Centre, University of Nairobi (http://www.uonbi.ac.ke/journals/) Volume 1, Issue3, December 2015 ISSN 2309-3625 Beyond Victims: Re-Representation of Women in Conflict -Jackie Ojiambo1 Abstract The intransigent nature of war in parts of Eastern Africa continues to be a grave concern to the world. Periods of violence within the region have invoked memories of conflict by both men and women. Drawing on feminist studies of women‟s autobiographical writings, this paper examines the experience of women during conflict. The memoirs highlight the special concerns of women, such as: malnutrition; shelter; reproductive health including childbirth and family planning; rape and sexual abuse; relocation stress; role strains and role change; family separation and perceived helplessness. Of specific interest is the manner in which female memoirs of conflict contest stereotypical images of women as passive victims of war. I argue that stereotypic images of women as apathetic victims of conflict overshadow their agency and contribution to peace building. The memoirs examined from Uganda, Sudan and Somali disprove the portrayal and treatment of women solely as victims. The writers under study help to institute a female role in national conflict and female literature of conflict. They provide concrete examples of how women demonstrate resilience in overcoming despair, participating in conflict prevention, management and resolution. This paper aims to contribute to the discourses on the inclusion of women in the different phases of conflict and peace building processes. Introduction The memoirs of Grace Akallo, Halima Bashir and Hawa Abdi represent the life experiences of three survivors of conflict.

A MUST Read for anyone Interested in Burma and its Modern HistoryBy Kersi F. MunshiA personal account like none other. Anyone who wants to know what is going on with Burmese minorities and their treatment by the Burmese Army and the government in general, ought to read this book. It's a must.Since my father fought against the Japanese in Burma during WW II, my wife and I visited Burma in December, 2015 to retrace his steps. While all outward appearance today is one of normalcy, you know there is something wrong under the surface. The military seems to be just under the waves.Unfortunately, the same is now also going on against the Rohingyas: Under the Army's urging, the Buddhist majority is marauding against them.I could go on, but you'd rather want to read the book yourself.

  • Voicing Darfour's Hu
    International Journal of English Literature and Social Sciences, 5(6) Nov-Dec 2020 | Available online: https://ijels.com/ Voicing Darfour’s Hu (Wo)man Memory: Tears of the Desert through World Literature and Collaborative Translation Grid Riham Debian Institute of Applied Linguistics and Translation, Alexandria University, Egypt Received: 29 Sept 2020; Received in revised form: 19 Nov 2020; Accepted: 23 Nov 2020; Available online: 03 Dec 2020 ©2020 The Author(s). Published by Infogain Publication. This is an open access article under the CC BY license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). Abstract— This paper tackles the question of voice retrieval of the Sudanese Subaltern experiences through the authorship/co-authorship of White British male subject, and the implication for collaborative translation into world literature. The paper particularly engages with the questions of whose voice and whose authorship in translating and worlding minority subaltern literature, in the context of the metropolitan powers’ appropriating politics, and the selective access and humanitarianism of Anglo-American (international) publishing industry. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the paper instrumentalizes the sociological turn in Translation Studies (2010) and Dambroush’s take on World Literature (2003) to read the socio-political implication of the production and circulation of Bashir and Lewis’ Tear of the Desert: a Memoir of Survival in Darfur(2008) to the English-speaking readership. The paper specifically examines the conceptual and textual grid (Lefevere 1999) and their underlying ideology through a tri-fold relational scheme: first, the relation between the text and its author, specifically the question of Bashir’s voice in the text; second, the relation between the author and co- author/collaborative translator(S); and third, the relation between the co-author and South-ridden conflict zone.

  • Slave: My True Story By: Mende Nazer
    Slave: My True Story by: Mende Nazer Mende Nazer (“men-dee naz-ur”) was born in the remote Nuba Mountains in Sudan, but at the age of 12 in 1993 she was abducted during an Arab raid on her village. Mende was raped and held prisoner by her captors, and then was sold to a wealthy Arab family who lived in Sudan's capital city, Khartoum. So began her dark years of enslavement. She was subjected to appalling physical and mental abuse and neglect. Seven years after she was seized and sold into slavery, she was sent to work for another master -- a diplomat working in London. After reading each chapter of the book, please answer the corresponding questions in complete sentences on a separate sheet of paper. Prologue: 1. Draw a map of the continent of Africa. On that map, draw in the country of Sudan. Inside Sudan, label the capital city, Khatroum, the Nuba Mountains, and the Darfur plateau. 2. Mende is from which tribe in Sudan? What religion is she? 3. Define “mujahedin.” 4. How did the Arab raiders treat the Nuba people during the raid? Chapter 1: My Home 5. Describe the Nuba way of life. What was Mende’s job on a daily basis? 6. Why did the Nuba like Americans so much? 7. What role do cattle play in the Nuba culture? 8. Why did Mende’s mother have scars all over her body? 9. When and why were boys circumcised in the Nuba culture? 10. Describe the Nuba and their clothing and hairstyles? 11.
