KAYANJA, Conseiller au développement de la Communication, UNESCO Accra DÉCISION DU BUREAU: 7 B. PRESENTATION 1. JUSTIFICATION DU PROJET: La presse béninoise a joué un rôle de premier plan dans l’avènement du processus démocratique en République du Bénin. Les médias de notre pays continuent d’assumer leur mission de veille depuis l’historique conférence nationale des forces vives de la nation de février 1990 qui a propulsé le Bénin aux premières loges des pays africains les plus stables au plan sociopolitique. Le pluralisme politique et surtout la liberté de la presse caractérisée par l’émergence d’une presse dynamique garantit les alternances pacifiques au pouvoir depuis 1991. Ceci est une réalité qui crève les yeux, mettant le Bénin (1er) en tête de peloton des nations africaines et 25ème sur les 167 Etats du monde où la liberté de la presse est la mieux respectée, selon le rapport (2005) de l’Association «Reporters sans Frontières». Une performance qui a enregistré malheureusement une baisse de forme liée à plusieurs facteurs dont le manque de professionnalisme de certains acteurs des médias. Cette situation, loin d’être irréversible, peut être encore très bien améliorée à travers un réel et conséquent accompagnement des différents partenaires intervenant au plan de la promotion de la bonne gouvernance, du développement des médias et de la liberté de la presse. La volonté manifeste du citoyen béninois est de consolider et sauvegarder durablement ces acquis démocratiques et voir la presse pouvoir continuer à jouer sa partition afin de garantir une meilleure stabilité politique et une croissance économique du pays à travers des animateurs professionnellement compétents et outillés, au fait des questions de développement à la base. Ce boom médiatique a généré au Bénin jusqu’en 2008, le tableau ci-après ; - 40 journaux quotidiens - 25 périodiques - 04 chaînes de télévisions - 73 radios qui animent le paysage médiatique du pays profond.

  • Djibouti 2013 Human Rights Report
    DJIBOUTI 2013 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Djibouti is a republic with a strong elected president and a weak legislature. In 2010 parliament amended the constitution to remove term limits, facilitating the April 2011 reelection of President Ismail Omar Guelleh for a third term. While legislative elections held February 22 included participation by opposition parties for the first time in 10 years, the opposition rejected the vote as flawed, and disputes over official results fueled months of protest. Opposition leaders boycotted the National Assembly and formed a shadow parliament. International observers from the African Union, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the Arab League characterized the elections as free and fair, an assessment disputed both domestically and internationally. Authorities maintained effective control over security forces. Security forces committed human rights abuses. Disputes over official results fueled months of protest by opposition leaders and supporters. The government’s use of excessive force to disperse demonstrators resulted in numerous injuries. Authorities arrested and imprisoned opposition leaders and hundreds of opposition members. The most serious human rights problem was the government’s abridgement of the right of citizens to change or significantly influence their government. The government did so by harassing, abusing, and detaining government critics; denying the population access to independent sources of information; and restricting freedom of speech and assembly. Other human rights problems included the use of excessive force, including torture; harsh prison conditions; arbitrary arrest and prolonged pretrial detention; denial of fair public trial; interference with privacy rights; restrictions on freedom of association; lack of protection for refugees; corruption; discrimination against women; female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C); trafficking in persons; discrimination against persons with disabilities; and government denial of worker rights.

  • AFR 23/10/99 This Is a Limited Action. Please Restrict to 50 Appeals Per
    PUBLIC AI Index: AFR 23/10/99 This is a limited action. Please restrict to 50 appeals per section. UA 307/99 Fear of arrest as prisoner of conscience 26 November 1999 DJIBOUTIAref Mohamed Aref, aged 46, lawyer and human rights defender Amnesty International believes that former prisoner of conscience Aref Mohamed Aref, a prominent defender of human rights in Djibouti and Africa, is at risk of being imminently arrested for his peaceful criticisms of the government. If this happens he is likely to face a lengthy period in detention awaiting trial or be sentenced to a long prison term. This follows new moves by the authorities to silence opposition critics and comes after a television interview he gave in October 1999 to a French journalist in which he expressed his non-violent views and criticized human rights violations in Djibouti - the journalist and cameraman were subsequently deported and their film confiscated. On 22 November 1999, during questioning by the police (gendarmerie) about the interview, he was told that proceedings had been opened against him on the charge of defamation (diffamation). This means he could be summoned again for questioning at any time, possibly remanded in custody, and be unfairly tried under a defamation law inconsistent with international standards on freedom of opinion and expression. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Aref Mohamed Aref, a prisoner of conscience from 1991 to 1992, has been the leading (and virtually only) human rights lawyer in Djibouti for some years. He has been an Amnesty International delegate at preliminary meetings on the establishment of an International Criminal Court and other missions and is a member of the African Human Rights Defenders network, established in Johannesburg in December 1998.

  • 2019 Human Rights Report
    DJIBOUTI 2019 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Djibouti is a republic with a strong elected president and a weak legislature. In 2016 President Ismail Omar Guelleh was re-elected for a fourth term. International observers from the African Union (AU), Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), and Arab League characterized the election as “peaceful,” “calm,” and “sufficiently free and transparent” but noted irregularities. Most opposition groups did not characterize the elections as free and fair. Three of the seven recognized opposition parties participated in the February 2018 legislative elections. Opposition groups stated the government reneged on a 2015 agreement by not installing an independent electoral commission to manage and oversee elections. International observers from the AU, IGAD, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the Arab League characterized the 2018 legislative elections as “free, just, and fair,” an assessment disputed by the leaders of unrecognized opposition parties. The National Police is responsible for security within Djibouti City and has primary control over immigration and customs procedures for all land border- crossing points. The National Gendarmerie is responsible for all security outside of Djibouti City and is responsible for protecting critical infrastructure within the city, such as the international airport. The leadership of both entities reports to the minister of interior. The National Service of Documentation and Security (SDS) operates as a law enforcement and intelligence

While Djibouti technically has a multiparty political system, the ruling Union for a Presidential Majority (UMP) uses authoritarian means to maintain its dominant position.
