En raison des « printemps arabes », le bilan 2011 culmine à des sommets auparavant jamais atteints, puisque l’on dénombre près de 1.500 noyés ou disparus. No comment yet.

This moment of transition in Libya, unimaginable scarcely a year ago, offers a unique opportunity to lay the foundations for a more effective state that is duly anchored in society – at least in principle.
However, as the Arab Spring has also shown, while getting rid of a dictator may prove relatively straightforward, building a new political order that is grounded in legitimacy and broad-based representation is likely to be much harder. Against a backdrop of great hopes and heightened expectations both within Libya and beyond, it has become clear that the country faces enormous challenges. Delete the scoop?

The Verified Carbon Standard approved this first methodology on soil carbon, a new approach for sustainable agricultural land management (SALM) practices.

There is a popular parable (or do I say allegory?) used by some disenfranchised Egyptians to describe the situation they are currently experiencing. Here it goes: you are living in a house that is your own, a man barges in and occupies one of its rooms.
You feel incensed and you pray to God that he will leave and focus your efforts to address this injustice. But then he brings his dog to live in the house – and you have to deal with him howling all night. So you forget about the man who has occupied your house and all you wish is that you would be able to get rid of his dog, that’s all you hope for.
Then a donkey is brought into the house, and it is dirty and the stench is unbearable. And you forget about the man and the dog and you focus on the donkey – if only you could get rid of the donkey, that would be your one and only wish in life.
But you end up with a state of mind in which you have forgotten about the man who originally occupied the house because the situation has gotten so much worse.... Delete the scoop?
