...Perché tentare di raccontarvi la Guinea quando c’é chi sa farlo molto meglio di me?!
"Carissimi amici, (...) vorrei iniziare con qualche buona notizia.
Innazitutto quest’anno le piogge sono iniziate presto e con regolarità in tutto il Paese: se continueranno così, il raccolto sarà buono e potrà dare un po’ di sicurezza nel clima di crisi alimentare che si abbatte su tutti noi.
La seconda bella notizia è che sono state leslative elections set for November, and today begins the process of voter registration. Much is expected, and even fear, because in places where democracy is young, elections are always a danger of serious instability. But the fact they happen is a good signal.
Unfortunately, this period is particularly difficult for the people, because the global food crisis has dramatic repercussions here. For weeks the country remained without fuel and often without rice importers in the market because they were expecting increases (in fact, globalization has brought this news also in Guinea: in the first place the laws of the market, not the basic needs of people). A few days ago it was decided that the new prices of fuel and rice: a net increase of 35% overnight! Of course the rest is increased, but wages and the value of local products. If this crisis in Italy creates serious problems, imagine what this means for most people to eat 35% less than before!
what to do for these people? It is becoming increasingly urgent to focus on training and education to address this more unified world without being employees, and slaves.
The formation of a ruling class that gives top priority to the value of the person and the needy, a civil society that its voice heard in front of so many injustices, remain a priority.
addition to the usual problem that few leaders believe the common good, there is also a strong passivity among the people. While Bissau was paralyzed for lack of fuel and the state were not receiving their meager wages from 4 months, the President of the Republic of The Gambia received its counterpart with luxury cars, motorcycles and luxury "trip" on the islands by helicopter with 100 people in tow. All this passive acceptance of the people who merely complain about the cross-roads.
educate civil society to make their voices heard and claim their rights is anche un’urgenza per prevenire i conflitti, perchè la rabbia che soggiace alla passività può esplodere da un momento all’altro in forme incontrollabili".
