• CAMPAGNE DE TERREUR EN MAURITANIE : LA CAMPAGNE DE RÉPRESSION DES NOIRS AFRICAINS SOUTENUE PAR L’ETAT
  1er octobre 2019, par siawi3

  Bien avant que l’expression « épuration ethnique » n’entre dans le langage courant, ses effets s’étaient déjà fait douloureusement ressentir en Mauritanie. Depuis 1989, des dizaines de milliers de Noirs mauritaniens ont été expulsés de force du territoire tandis que des centaines d’autres ont été torturés ou tués. L’occupation militaire non déclarée de la vallée du fleuve Sénégal, où vivent beaucoup de Noirs, soumet ceux qui sont restés à une répression sévère. La campagne visant à l’élimination de la culture négro-africaine de Mauritanie, orchestrée par les dirigeants maures blancs, a atteint son paroxysme à la fin des années quatre-vingt et au début des années quatre-vingt-dix et se poursuit encore aujourd’hui.

• USA: ’Reparations’ for the descendance of slaves
  31 March 2019, by siawi3

  Universal programs are not a substitute for racially targeted interventions. Ironically, as long as the question of reparations remains vague, it’s more likely to be controversial. Undefined, reparations can take the form of the public’s worst fears: a free “check” to the “undeserving” black masses, versus tuition or housing grants that mimic those New Deal programs from which blacks were historically excluded. By asking Blitzer to define what reparations actually means, Sanders shifted the conversation from speculative rhetoric to practical policy.

• USA: We Have The Means To Fund Reparations. Where Is The Political Will?
  11 June 2019, by siawi3

  The first political step toward reparations would be for Congress to create a national commission to wrestle with the legacy of slavery and propose a program of reparations and reconciliation. We have the method and the means to fund a reparations program. Only the political will is missing.

• Noir en Algérie ? Mieux vaut être musulman.
  18 décembre 2017, par siawi3

  L’esclavagisme arabe est d’ailleurs encore aujourd’hui un sujet tabou ou escamoté par les jugements portés contre l’esclavagisme de l’occident. La vision du noir en Algérie, marquée par une discrète distance pendant des années, s’est transformée en rejet violent ces derniers temps.

• Africains et Révolution atlantique
  14 mars 2017, par siawi3

  Il est simplement évident que les Africains et leurs descendants ne peuvent plus être exclus des récits sur la Révolution et sur la construction des Etats modernes.

• Race and exploitation in the Gulf
  27 August 2017, by siawi3

  The issue of race and racism in the Gulf need to be addressed in order to tackle the problem of modern day slavery. Kafala (sponsorship) is a mechanism used in the GCC, and countries such as Jordan and Lebanon, to regulate a guest worker program whereby a migrant workers status is bound to his or her employer or ‘kafeel’ for the duration of their contract. Kafala has been discussed in the context of modern slavery and exploitation, and its misuse has also allowed for the facilitation of sex trafficking.

  11 July 2017, by siawi3

  Paul Robeson - African American singer, movie star, Broadway actor, freedom fighter and socialist -built his singing career in the teeth of racism in the early 1900s. But his radicalism was spurred on in Britain - by a chance meeting with a group of Welsh miners.

• The Sexual Abuse Of Cambodia’s History Is No Longer Invisible
  25 June 2015, by siawi3

  Prosecutors and court investigators have spent a decade amassing evidence of torture and murder in prisons, of forced relocations and forced labor all around the country, of genocide against minorities. But the legal investigators, like so many historians before them, largely missed one of the most common crimes of the Khmer Rouge, the crime that would come to define the lives of women like Chan: sexual violence.

• Being ’black’ in North Africa and the Middle East
  13 February 2018, by siawi3

  Former slaves and their descendants in North Africa and the Middle East might be formally free, but the racial legacies of slavery continue to affect intimate, social and political forms of life. A “culture of silence” has long prevented these countries from engaging with, and discussing overtly, questions of race, slavery and colour.
