ジンバブエには２２８，０００人以上の新型コロナウィルス感染症（コロナ）患者と５０００人以上の死者、その北に接するザンビアでは患者３０万人以上、死者が３０００人以上いる。さらに、東のモザンビークでは患者２０万人以上、死者が２０００人以上となっている。
こうした状況の中、マラウィの医療専門家ジョセフ・バンダ氏は、IDNの取材に対して、アフリカ全体でコロナ感染が拡大し続けており、楽観は許されないと語った。
「コロナ禍が２０１９年にアフリカ諸国で広がり始めてから、大陸全体で感染者が増え続けている。メディアではアフリカの状況はほとんど報道されないが、増えているのは間違いない。」…

POLONNARUWA, Sri Lanka (IDN) — Ang hindi maayos na planong patakaran sa organikong pagsasaka ng gobyerno ng Sri Lanka na nagbawal sa paggamit ng kemikal na pataba sa mga sakahan ay nagpasama ng loob ng mga magsasaka sa sentro ng taniman ng palay at kuta ng pulitika ng naghaharing koalisyon. Ang patakaran ay nakakuha din ng kritisismo mula sa mga eksperto sa agrikultura, na nagbabala na ang seguridad sa pagkain ng Sri Lanka ay nakataya.…

DILI, Timor Leste (IDN) — The world’s newest democracy of Timor Leste is currently confronting a surge of omicron cases after being one of the safest countries from Covid. But as it continues to manage the pandemic fairly well, the story is quite the opposite when it comes to the problem of child stunting.

스리랑카 폴로나루와(IDN) — 스리랑카 정부가 농장에 화학 비료 사용을 금지하는 형편없는 유기농 농업 정책으로 벼농사의 중심지이자 연립 여당의 정치적 근거지의 농민들을 분노케 했다. 이 정책은 스리랑카의 식량안보가 위기라고 경고하는 농업 전문가들에게도 비판을 받았다.
민네리아 협동 농업인 조합장인 아닐 구나워드나(Anil Gunawardhna) 씨는 정부의 유기농 비료 프로그램이 목표를 달성하기 위한 적절한 프로그램과 업무 계획 없이 발표되었기 때문에 완전한 실패라고 주장했다. “정부의 원안은 10년 안에 이 유기농 경작을 달성하는 것이었습니다. 하지만, 농민과 아무런 논의 없이 화학 비료 수입을 금지했습니다”라고 불만을 토로했다.…

पोलोन्नारुवा, श्रीलंका (आईडीएन) — श्रीलंका सरकार की बुरी तरह से नियोजित जैविक खेती नीति जिसने खेतों में रासायनिक उर्वरक के उपयोग पर प्रतिबंध लगा दिया है, ने इस चावल उगाने वाले क्षेत्र और सत्तारूढ़ गठबंधन के राजनीतिक गढ़ में किसानों को परेशान किया है। इस नीति की कृषि विशेषज्ञों ने भी आलोचना की है, जिन्होंने चेतावनी दी है कि श्रीलंका की खाद्य सुरक्षा दांव पर है।
मिनेरिया एकीकृत किसान संगठन के अध्यक्ष अनिल गुणावर्धना का तर्क है कि सरकारी जैविक उर्वरक कार्यक्रम पूरी तरह से विफल है क्योंकि इसकी घोषणा बिना किसी उचित कार्यक्रम और कार्य योजना के अपने लक्ष्य को प्राप्त करने के लिए की गई थी। “सरकार की मूल योजना इस जैविक खेती को दस साल के समय में हासिल करना था। हालांकि, किसानों के साथ बिना किसी चर्चा के उन्होंने महत्वपूर्ण रासायनिक उर्वरकों पर प्रतिबंध लगा दिया,” वे शिकायत करते हैं।…

POLLONNARUWA, Sri Lanka (IDN) — Sri Lankan government’s badly planned organic farming policy that has banned the use of chemical fertilizer in farms has upset farmers in this rice-growing heartland and a political stronghold of the ruling coalition. The policy has also drawn criticism from agricultural experts, who warn that Sri Lanka’s food security is at stake. (P29) HINDI | JAPANESE TEXT VERSION PDF | KOREAN | TAGALOG…

NEW YORK (IDN) — Mahamat-Saleh Haroun was seven years old when he first heard that a newborn baby was found dead in the trash. A few weeks later, another baby was similarly found. Tragically, this was nothing out of the ordinary in a repressive society that denied women the right to control their bodies, to have babies when they were ready, or to refuse to be cut in the practice known as FGM.…

NEW YORK (IDN) — In mid-December 2021, South African comedian Trevor Noah used “The Daily Show” to target China when he aired a segment titled “Why China Is in Africa”. While this segment was advertised as an informed, nuanced overview of the complex international relationship between China and many African states, it mainly reinforced the debunked myth of “debt-trap diplomacy” to its American audiences, ending with a throwaway line about #StopAsianHate.…
