Zimbabwe Inapigania Kukuza Kukua kwa Uchumi Endelevu

Uchambuzi na Jeffrey Moyo

HARARE (IDN) – Sawa katika suruali zilizofifia na shati na jozi mzee ya viatu yenye madoa ya mchanganyiko wa viraka na mashimo, Jemitius Simango mwenye umri wa miaka 38 hutembea kando ya Barabara ya Kwanza katika mji mkuu wa Zimbabwe na gunia kubwa lenye chupa tupu za plastiki mgongoni mwake akifukua mapipa ya takataka katika kutafuta thamani.

Simango ana Stashahada ya Masoko kutoka Chuo cha Ufundi cha Harare nchini Zimbabwe na katika mtazamo wa kwanza wengi humuona kama kichaa, ingawa yeye ni mtu wa kawaida katika ‘kazi’ akijaribu kuendesha maisha dhidi ya kuongezeka kwa uchumi wa kushindwa katika hili taifa la Kusini mwa Afrika. Baada ya kushindwa kupata ajira, wengi kama Simango wamegeuka kufanya kazi duni mbalimbali kwa maisha yao.…

Zimbabue lucha por promover un crecimiento económico sostenible

Análisis por Jeffrey Moyo

HARARE (IDN) – Vestido con pantalones desteñidos, camiseta y un par de zapatos dotados con una mezcla de parches y huecos, Jemitius Simango, de 38 años de edad, camina penosamente a través de First Street, en la capital de Zimbabue, con un gran saco que lleva en su espalda y que contiene botellas de plástico vacías, mientras hurga distintos tachos de basura en busca de objetos valiosos.

Simango cuenta con un diploma de marketing, concedido por la Universidad Politécnica de Harare, en Zimbabue, y al primer vistazo, muchos lo tomarían por un lunático, a pesar de que es un hombre como cualquiera: trabajando, tratando de ganarse la vida, buscando alejarse del fondo de la vacilante economía sudafricana. Tras no haber conseguido mantener un trabajo, muchas personas, al igual que Simango, se han visto obligadas a vivir de varios subempleos para subsistir.…

UN Fighting to Fend Off ‘The Little Boy’ and ‘The Little Girl’

By Jutta Wolf

BERLIN | ROME (IDN) – Three Rome-based UN agencies are keen to avert further havoc wreaked by the twins with euphemistic names – ‘The Little Boy’ and ‘The Little Girl’ – and are calling for governments and the international community to ramp up efforts to safeguard livelihoods of some 100 million people around the world.

“The new pattern of climate events (better known by their Spanish designations, El Niño and La Niña) is exposing weaknesses in our preparedness, in international and government systems and in community infrastructure,” says the newly-appointed United Nations Special Envoy on El Niño & Climate Ambassador Macharia Kamau.

｜旧ユーゴスラビア｜忘れ去られた人道危機

【ベオグラードIDN＝ヴェスナ・ペリッチ・ジモニッチ】

激しい内戦へと発展したユーゴスラヴィア連邦の崩壊から既に２０年以上が経過した。その後地域の平和は９０年代には回復したが、国家の崩壊に伴って引き起こされた残虐な暴力や人道危機についてほとんど知らない人々にとっては、当時から何も変わっていないように思えるだろう。

社会学者として著名なラトコ・ボゾヴィッチ教授は、「紛争はすでに終結していますが、政治家たちが無責任な公約を掲げて政争に明け暮れ、一方で経済復興が遅々として進まない状況のなかで、人々は内向きな議論に翻弄され、将来について悲観的になっています。」と指摘したうえで、「旧ユーゴスラヴィア諸国では、各々が経験した内戦の記憶しかない若い世代が台頭してきています。」と語った。…

Zimbabwe Battling to Promote Sustainable Economic Growth

Analysis by Jeffrey Moyo

HARARE (IDN) – Clad in faded trousers and shirt and an old pair of shoes dotted with a mixture of patches and holes, 38-year-old Jemitius Simango trudges along First Street in the Zimbabwean capital with a huge sack containing empty plastic bottles hanging on his back as he rummages through dustbins in search of valuables.

Simango holds a Marketing Diploma from Zimbabwe’s Harare Polytechnic College and at first glance many take him for a lunatic, although he is an ordinary man at ‘work’ trying to earn a living against the backdrop of this Southern African country’s faltering economy. After failing to secure employment, many like Simango have turned to doing various substandard jobs to sustain themselves. (P 17) JAPANESE TEXT VERSION PDF | SPANISH | SWAHILI
