Editorial: It is the biggest sports event in the world. The world football governing body organized FIFA world Cup. It takes place only once every four years and it is hosted this for the first time on African soil by South Africa. Thousands of people the world over are in the country of the legendary Nelson Mandela for the event and billions are glued to their television sets all over the world watching the momentous event. But what happens after the event ends in the next few weeks? In Looking Beyond Africa's Month Long Euphoria PAV cautions against losing sight of the numerous challenges facing the continent in the face of the football frenzy.
Oddly Enough: The 1994 genocide of the Rwandan Tutsi never happened. This is this unfounded and disturbing allegation at the heart of a new book by Edward S. Herman and David Peterson, writes Gerald Caplan. Instead the authors claim that that it was part of an elaborate American conspiracy to “gain a strong military presence in Central Africa, a diminution of its European rivals' influence, proxy armies to serve its interests, and access to the raw material-rich Democratic Republic of the Congo”. Why they want to create such gratuitous hurt for the survivors of the genocide in Rwanda is ‘impossible to fathom’, says Caplan, but their ‘egregious views’ ‘relegate them squarely to the lunatic fringe’ he fumes in The politics of denialism: The strange case of Rwanda
Women: The wave of sentimentality surrounding Africa's first World Cup has concealed the persistence of marked gender discrimination around both how countries use public funds and conceive of organised sport, writes Salma Maoulidi. Football's popularity in countries like Tanzania and the political capital to be had by pandering to its followers, Maoulidi highlights, end up reinforcing discriminatory funding allocations and perpetuating a mismatch of opportunity along gender lines. Africa and the World Cup: Gender discrimination lingers contends her analysis
OPINION Africa, south of the Sahara today faces their brightest prospect in a generation argues Obiageli K. Ezekwesili. From Mali’s mango exports and Nigeria’s “Nollywood”, to Uganda’s gorilla tourism and to Kenya’s cut flowers--there is a robust picture of a continent clearly on the move the World Bank's Vice President for Africa opines in Africa’s Future in Our Grasp
Development: Africa is doing better than ever economically, but many regular people remain desperately poor. The World Cup is putting the continent at the center of global attention. With Africa’s strengths and frailties under greater international scrutiny than ever before, what will the story be? One of the continent’s most prominent sons and leading advocate of Development Kofi Annan in The Myth of Africa's Economic Miracleattempts an answer
Education: Brighter days lie ahead for brilliant young Africans with the establishment of a Space and Science Academy for girls in Kenya. Expected to take off in 2012, the Academy is the initiative of the Brightest Stars Foundation an American based Non Governmental Organization. Considering that the potential of every child is limitless, the Foundation believes that with access to opportunity and direction they can reach the stars and in doing so manifest their destiny and divine purpose. In Kenya to Host Space and Science Academy For Girls Camille Alleyne the Founder and President sheds more light on this ground breaking initiative for PAV.
Sports: A colorful kick off ceremony, jammed packed stadiums with deafening beelike humming from the rubber trumpets popularly known as vuvuzela, cases of theft reported by some foreign journalists, protests by workers of a security outfit over wages, et al, the South Africa 2010 world cup has been a thriller of sorts so far. And the results? Popular Support But Below Par Performance For African Countries according to Stan Tabi and Zelifac Asong
