P18 Layout 1 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2013 SPORTS Spain slips to loss in South Africa JOHANNESBURG: Spain’s return to the stadium where it won the World Cup was spoiled Tuesday as Bernard Parker’s second-half goal gave South Africa a shock 1-0 win over the world and European champi- on. Spain was subdued - and possibly tired after its friendly in Equatorial Guinea three days ago - and only really threatened in the dying minutes of the interna- tional friendly when substitutes Santi Cazorla and Koke were denied by saves from Itumeleng Khune at FNB Stadium, the venue formerly known as Soccer City and where Spain celebrated its finest football moment three years ago. The World Cup holder started with Xabi Alonso and Andres Iniesta in midfield and David Villa and Fernando Llorente up front, but South African striker Parker converted one of few clear-cut chances in the game when he collected a neat one-two just to the left of goal and his chip bounced up off goalkeeper Victor Valdes and into the net in the 56th minute. “I’m the happiest man in the world. I scored against the world champions,” Parker said. The result gave Spain some food for thought just over six months ahead of its World Cup defense in Brazil, and brightened the mood for South Africa, which failed to qualify for the World Cup at its first attempt since hosting the showcase tournament.

  • N°559 DECEMBRE LES ARMES ET LES LARMES 2012 a PROPOS DE LA TUERIE DU CONNECTICUT Une Fois De Plus, La Folie Meurtrière a Frappé Les Etats-Unis
    Par Koffi du 18 Editorial SOUZA N°559 DECEMBRE LES ARMES ET LES LARMES A PROPOS DE LA TUERIE DU CONNECTICUT 2012 Une fois de plus, la folie meurtrière a frappé les Etats-Unis. 26 personnes, dont 20 enfants sont mortes sous les balles d'un tueur dans une école du Connecticut. Et une fois de plus est mise en cause la liberté de s'armer reconnue aux citoyens américains. UNE LIBERTE CONSTITUTIONNELLE On sait en effet que la Constitution américaine précise (AMENDEMENT II (15 décembre 1791)) : "Une milice bien organisée étant nécessaire à la sécurité d'un Etat libre, il ne pourra être porté atteinte au droit du peuple de détenir et de porter des armes." L'idée à l'époque était de garantir la liberté des citoyens face à l'éventuelle oppression d'une armée de métier au service de la Fédération. Depuis, loin de tomber en désuétude, cette liberté de s'armer a été renforcée par la Cour Suprême. On se demandait jusqu'à une date récente si cette impossibilité de limiter le droit de s'armer s'appliquait seulement à l'État fédéral ou bien à toutes les instances nationales ou locales. En 2010, la Cour Suprême a tranché estimant que le deuxième amendement peut s'imposer à chaque État, au même titre que la liberté d'expression ou celle d'exercer la religion de son choix. En d'autres termes, les États ou les municipalités ne peuvent pas limiter la détention d'armes à feu : dans l'arrêt McDonald v. Chicago, la Cour Suprême a annulé les dispositions d'un règlement municipal de la ville de Bi-hebdomadaire Togolais d’Informations et d’Analyses suite à la page
