Mais um golpe na Guiné...
Infeliz or good citizenship during manifestado as eleições neutralizado tem sido por outra tentativa de coup ...
Na noite entre sexta and Sábado - In conjunction with my 5th attack of malaria (!) - There was an assault on the home of President Nino Vieira. At least one dead and one severely injured, as the media reported. However there are still details (!) That have not been clarified, for example the involvement of politicians defeated the attempted. Heavy weapons were used: I live in the same neighborhood that I heard everything clearly and was very concerned, seemed to be at war. Anyway, it seems the situation is under control now, although foreign staff from embassies and major international NGOs are leaving the country

How To Congratulaye On Second Engagement
PAIGC al governo
82% is stata the percentage of voters in the last legislative, whose results were made official Friday. Landslide victory of the PAIGC, the African Party for the Independence of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde, which has secured less than 67 deputies in Parliament, providing a strong government (and - hopefully - stable) for the next four years. The victory is especially Carlos Gomes Júnior (Cadog), leading candidate of the PAIGC, in which guineensi have pinned their hopes for change. Incredible assist the exultation of the inhabitants of the capital, after reading the results on the radio: a spontaneous demonstration that the development of the streets of Bissau and - I confess - I created a lump in my throat ...
guineensi At this point, and with them who cares about the fate of this country, can only hope that the confidence was well placed to Cadog. We look forward to ...

Elezioni, il giorno dopo...
by a community of p.Davide Fool, director of Radio Sol Mansi:
"... Sunday, November 16 parliamentary elections were held in Guinea Bissau. After an election campaign on, but without incident, even the election day, things went well overall. No incident of violence, and despite some organizational problems, all were able to vote even in the most dispersed. Just north of Mansoa Bissorà and, due to organizational problems, voting has not made and is being held today (Monday). People have great expectations, because the situation is really bad: the food crisis is affecting the poor (almost all) very strongly, and it has become normal, even in Bissau, eat once a day. Public schools and state universities have not yet started the school year and officials do not receive the meager salary in months. Radio Sol Mansi for us to have been weeks of intense work and awareness. The fact that campaigning and elections took place without disorder us happy, because we think we have given our part, together with the other radio, which this year have combined to foster a climate of dialogue. On Election Day we have been in radio for 14 consecutive hours, broadcast live for the conduct of the vote, inform people and promote the work of the Regional Commissions of the elections, which were via radio to know where the ballot boxes had not arrived or where there were problems . Our 35 correspondents, most teams Bissau Mansoa Bafatá and have worked with great professionalism and enthusiasm. Many people and leaders of institutions have phoned to congratulate him. Last night I was tired but happy, not only for its contribution to the smooth running of the elections, but because I had confirmation that providing opportunities for training and employment to our young people can pick up great results. We now await the results. We know già, tramite i corrispondenti, il probabile risultato, ma per legge sarà la Commissione Nazionale per le elezioni ad annunciarlo. Preghiamo perché gli sconfitti accettino democraticamente il risultato del voto. Non ci sono infatti segni di brogli significativi."

Recipe For Creamy Italian Dressing
Aspettando le legislative
Reduce dall’ennesimo trasloco, ora posso finalmente vantarmi di abitare in centro cittá! Al mattino vado al lavoro a piedi (20 minuti di strada sono una bazzeccola in confronto ai km macinati a Bubaque!) e - incredibile! – nella nuova casa la luce arriva sia di giorno che di notte: dopo 3 anni di privazioni confesso che non sono piú abituata a tanto lusso! Temo peró che tanta grazia dipenda dalla campagna elettorale che da 2 settimane a questa parte monopolizza la vita del Paese. Niente di nuovo sotto il sole di Bissau: comizi a non finire, piú simili ad arroganti prove di forza che a ponderate presentazioni programmatiche; ministeri e uffici pubblici paralizzati, dal momento che direttori e funzionari – nel tentativo di preservare il posto – hanno momentaneamente messo da parte i propri incarichi per schierarsi a fianco dell’uno o dell’altro partito, disponibilizzando vetture, denaro e abitazioni private; camion carichi di giovani simpatizzanti, striscioni e musica a tutto volume per attirare e convincere gli indecisi; grande dispendio di mezzi, soldi e energie per accaparrarsi il favore di un elettorato in parte ancora poco consapevole rispetto and informed participation in civic rights.
At these latitudes - alas - the votes are bought and sold more easily and on the eve of elections, the capital Bissau seems to live beyond its capabilities, perhaps to give a false image of ourselves to international observers. In the field dropped many parties, but to do the lion's share will be only 3 configurations: the PRID of Aristides Gomes (suspected of involvement in a matter of drug trafficking), Kumba Yala of the PRS, instigating ethnic hatred and confusion at the maximum power , the great giant PAIGC, which bet on the entrepreneur to recover Carlos Gomes Jr., but the campaign by giving a minstrel of the caliber of Baciro Dabó, politico, cantante e showman (vi ricorda qualcuno?..).
Le legislative sono previste per domenica e per ora tutto sembra calmo ... forse troppo calmo. Ho chiesto un po’ in giro per sondare il terreno ma nessuno sa bene cosa aspettarsi. Alcuni ambasciatori, i rappresentanti delle piú importanti ONG ed altri pezzi grossi hanno prenotato un biglietto aereo per allontanarsi dal Paese prima di domenica ... ma tutto questo allarmismo lascia il tempo che trova, visto che per il momento ambasciate e consolati non hanno fornito nessuna direttiva ufficiale. Quel che é certo, é che il 16 novembre nessun mezzo di trasporto potrá circolare e che gli stranieri residenti a Bissau sono stati invitati a limitare gli spostamenti all’interno the country, staying at home.
guineensi I await this moment with a mixture of anxiety and resignation, poised between the hope of a change to trigger a decisive crackdown and the disappointment of those who for years helplessly to the power games of a violent and corrupt political class.
Cross your fingers ... and pray, that the long-awaited change can truly begin.

How Would You Do Dahvie Vantys Hair?
MISSIONE QUINARA/RGB HORTIPESCA
It all started with the usual phrase Hélder, my head to India (and Intercooperação Desenvolvimento www.inde.pt ) "Daniela, serious problem viajares um na Próxima fourth ?...". Certainly not chef, you know that I Bissau is close and I love the village life ... This time it was to prepare and follow up the visit of the supervisor of the European Commission to the project for 3 years now the region is pursuing INDE of Quinara, South Guinea. The project in question ("RGB Hortipesca") goes for courses in adult literacy, savings and credit, VHF radio to allow communication between the villages, fishing cooperatives and community gardens in an attempt to improve the living conditions of the local population. It's been a while since I showed you the opportunity to make a visit on the ground and once again I and local partners in India (NGOs guineensi AMIN DIVUTEC and) we did not miss all the adventures and incidents corollary of well known by those who work outside the capital Bissau furati tires in the forest, endless Travel along precarious dirt roads, including heavy taxes and minor accidents and jolts (the war report this time contemplates the death of a chicken and a katcur of Mangue, a kind of skunk giant guilty of having crossed the street at the wrong time ), small communities of ethnic beafada isolated from the rest of the world, but with a great capacity for warmth and a surprising internal dynamism. The clock pointed to 5.30 and a certain amount of stubbornness allowed us to reach Darsalam, remote desert locations in the middle of the format. Squirrels, gazelles, monkeys, lizards green ...: never seen so many animals so close! Above all, however, affects the spirit of sacrifice of those who work at the forefront because the project works, guineensi poorly paid, often volunteers, who in the heat of the rainy weather, or under the blazing sun got on the bike and moving in tabanche more isolated, accompanying, advising, controlling, helping ... Cooperation with scant resources, when compared with major international organizations that now proliferate in Guinea and empire, but made with heart, by Africans for Africans. I realize once more: for those who love Africa and its people, the job is really a privilege.

Notizie dal Congo
The word p.Renzo, Sacred Heart missionary in DR Congo ...
"It 's common knowledge in the west of the sad facts of war these days in the east of the country. Inertia of many (the international community, the UN, the Kinshasa government ...) and activities of other (smaller warlords, businessmen, companies looking for minerals, neighboring countries with strong interests in the Congo). As the refrain of suffering and despair of the population hostage to the "large" and their policies. Population without a voice, without the means to react. A never ending story, no happy ending for now. Fertile ground for new rebellions, for the entry of new revenue. Who will deliver us? To educate and educate everyone so that our eyes and see the eyes of others wherever man and his dignity, a man like me, eager for all the good as me, child of God like me ... Yes, for those who do not have the means of politics and rejects those of force opens the way for the consciences of her - above all - and that of the people can meet, in all situations of life and at all latitudes.
The war news these days does not affect Babonde in our territory to remain calm ... but also tense, because what sembrava oramai un'epoca di normalizzazione, si rivela invece carica di ulteriore instabilità”.
