REPUBLIQUE DEMOCRATIQUE DU CONGO
MOKA ESCORTE A MATONGE : LA VAGUE BLEUE EN MARCHE
(Journal Canal Futur 27/06/2005)
Jour J-4...C’est autour de quinze heures que l’homme de la « vague bleue », le Révérend Pasteur Jean-Paul MOKA est descendu sur le quartier « Matonge », escorté par deux camionnettes de la police belge et deux colonels des Forces Armées Zaïroises, ainsi que deux militants du « comité bleu » de Bruxelles. Cette petite équipe compacte a été accueillie par les partisans de la « vague bleue » devant l’établissement de fast food belge, Quick.
Un membre de la municipalité de Houston (Capitale de l’état du Texan) et membre du parti républicain était également présent, accompagné d’une petite équipe et une journaliste du Washington Post. Le Révérend MOKA a salué chacun d’entre eux, en disant à la journaliste américaine : « You can take any picture you want, Belgium is a free country » ( Traduction : Vous pouvez prendre toutes les photos qui vous plairont, la Belgique est un pays libre ). Ce commentaire faisait suite aux intimidations du commissaire NUTZ de Matonge qui avait menacé la journaliste, en lui interdisant de ne prendre aucune photo des forces de police et du service de sécurité interne du Révérend Pasteur MOKA.
Le représentant du « Mouvement des étudiants, chercheurs et intellectuels congolais de Belgique », Me Garry Sakata ouvrit la tournée de l’homme de Dieu, accompagné du représentant du Congrès libéral Congolais et des maï maï congolais qui font également parti des organisations qui ont récemment rejoint le « mouvement bleu ».

Grioo.com : Tensions congolaises à Bruxelles : entretien avec Cheick Fita
"Il faudrait que le peuple belge soit derrière le peuple congolais. Depuis plus de 40 ans, il n’y a pas eu d’élections démocratiques et multipartites au Congo. La seule fois où on devait les organiser, c’était le 30 juin et on a décidé de ne pas le faire. Que le peuple belge se mette un peu à la place des Congolais qui ont pour la plupart qu’un dollar pour nourrir leur famille. On vit dans des situations catastrophiques sur le plan humain. Enfin, je pense que le Belge qui nous suit sait analyser les choses honnêtement pour ensuite prendre une bonne position. J’ai confiance… C’est d’ailleurs le minimum qu’on peut attendre d’un pays qui nous a coloniséet a pillé nos richesses. Je pense qu’il faut être attentif, un temps soit peu.
Avez-vous d'autres manifestations au programme pour continuer votre combat?
Oui, notamment le 30 juin prochain, le jour de l’indépendance du RDC. On a prévu une manifestation àBruxelles à partir du Petit Château qui se terminera à nouveau devant l’ambassade du Congo."

Wereldbank, IMF & Zaïre
Uganda [opinion]: Democracy Not Basis for World Bank Funds: "Following the messing up of Congo's early democratic politics, when the CIA backed Mobutu and killed Patrick Lumumba, the first democratically elected Congo president, the IMF and World bank officials took over the management of Congo's economy. Starting with a loan of $27m in 1967, IMF, World Bank and other officials from donor agencies took over key positions in the ministry of finance, central bank and the office of Debt Management. The mismanagement went into overdrive: Between 1976 and 1981, the currency was devalued five times."

"We speak with John Perkins, a former respected member of the international banking community. In his book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man he describes how as a highly paid professional, he helped the U.S. cheat poor countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars by lending them more money than they could possibly repay and then take over their economies."

L’opération "Inzu-Munanira" : la vérité sur la énième guerre que le Rwanda se prépare à déclencher au Nord-Kivu
Kinshasa , 11.06.2005
"Tout porte à croire que la paix s'éloigne de plus en plus au Congo et que les cercles des pyromanes et autres vampires au service des ennemis du peuple congolais se préparent déjà à lancer les premières attaques contre les Forces armées de la RDC au Kivu
La situation que l’on vit sur le terrain laisse croire que les choses se gâtent de plus en plus et que les ennemis du Congo s’organisent pour lancer le feu sur ce pays. Tout démontre en réalité que la guerre va frapper aux portes du Nord-Kivu avant le 30 juin 2005. En effet, le Rwanda de Paul Kagame a pris le devant en déployant plus de 15.000 hommes de troupes le long de sa frontière avec la RDC en partant de Bugarama dans la plaine de la Ruzizi jusqu'à Ruhengeri, point culminant faisant jonction avec l'Ouganda et le Nord-Kivu."

Wolfowitz on Africa trip in wake of debt deal
"'To be fair to them, there are just enormous challenges here,' he said. 'The mere fact that the continent is divided up into so many different countries, sometimes arbitrarily, is itself a challenge for development.'"
Wat wil die man nu eigenlijk zeggen? Dat het tijd wordt voor Afrika om zijn grenzen te verleggen? Nou nou, van een uitdaging gesproken ... we zullen het geweten hebben waarom deze evangelist van de "New American Century" en mede-architect van de oorlog in Irak tot hoofd van de wereldbank werd gebombardeerd.

RTL Infos - Bono plaide pour l'Afrique à Bruxelles
"Le groupe U2 se produira demain devant 60 mille personnes à Bruxelles. Ce matin, le chanteur du groupe était reçu par le président de la Commission européenne José Manuel Barroso. 'Les problèmes actuels de l'Europe ne doivent pas faire disparaitre l'Afrique de l'agenda politique', a déclaré M. Barroso. 'Au contraire, le problème de l'Europe, c'est le manque de vision. L'Europe doit en faire beaucoup plus'."

Sun Participation Age Event - United Nations
"A Letter from Scott McNealy
In the last twenty five years, we have been living through the 'Information Age,' so named because of the impact information technologies have had on our lives. It's a valid label, as the commerce of information today represents a huge percentage of all economic activity in the world. Millions upon millions of people produce information, refine it, store it, and distribute it; billions consume it in the same way we consume air, food, and water. Some of us even suffer withdrawal symptoms if denied access to it.
Unfortunately, though, there's one thing wrong with this world view: The Information Age is so last millennium.
Get past it!
Welcome instead to the 'Participation Age.' Advances in technology have made it possible for more and more people to connect with each other to participate and to share work flows, to compete for jobs, to purchase goods and services, to learn and create.
Information Age thinking says, 'Control the creation and distribution of information and you dominate markets.' Participation Age is the antithesis of that. It's all about access. That access allows for value to be created through networked human beings who share, interact and solve problems. Because of participation, meaningful content, connections, and relationships are created like never before.
In the Participation Age, there are no arbitrary distinctions between passengers and crew, actors and audience. Be one, be both, be everything in between.
Welcome to the revolution.

"As President Bush and British PM Tony Blair met Tuesday, it was clear that only compassion and sympathy showmanship from the lips of President Bush ruled the day leaving Blair open-handed and wanting for negotiations to work out a deal to boost Africa�s opportunities still on the G8 finance summit agenda, to be held in Gleneagles, Scotland this July.
