02/19/2008 È la terza legislazione che fallisce il tentativo di riformare la legge 49 sulla “cooperazione allo sviluppo”. Ogni volta che un nuovo governo ci prova, cade. Casualità e coincidenza, certo. Siamo consci che la cooperazione non sia mai stata così prioritaria; né ieri e né oggi. Forse domani, quando si capirà che per abitare l’interdipendenza bisognerà fare i conti con la cooperazione con coloro che stanno oltre mare. Ma sulla 49 non è mai stato facile fare fronte comune. Ha più di 20 anni ed avvalla una concezione di cooperazione non al pari con i tempi. Molto centrale (l’aiuto pensato qui), dipendente dalla politica estera, legata alle imprese italiane che beneficiano degli stessi aiuti, con una concezione di “sviluppo” slegata dai saperi dei territori. Urge, quindi, una riforma. A tal fine vorremmo provocare proprio il pensiero di ciascuno con questa prima ipotesi di “Carta di Trento per una migliore cooperazione”. I lettori possono da subito intervenire per dare il proprio contributo. di Fabio Pipinato

12/27/2007 Medici Senza Frontiere (MSF) ha chiesto alle autorità somale "il rilascio immediato e la garanzia dell'incolumità delle due operatrici rapite a Bossaso in Somalia".

Secondo la stampa spagnola due dei rapitori si sarebbero arresi alla polizia dopo uno scontro a fuoco in una zona montagnosa vicino a Bosasso, ma non è ancora chiara la sorte delle due operatrici umanitarie. Il Puntland, una zona relativamente tranquilla rispetto al sud della Somalia, sta diventando sempre più teatro di scontri, ma finora Msf non mai ricevuto attacchi diretti o minacce.
