"Israel and Palestine: a story of modern colonialism" - Daniel Avelar e Bianca Ferrari

"A Future for Western Sahara" - Ana Palacio

International politics is replete with unresolved territorial disputes, from conflicting claims by China and Japan over the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea to the prolonged disagreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh. But one such dispute, over Western Sahara, is often overlooked, despite the very real possibility of resolving it.

"Casamance : A Cabrousse, dans la cité des vieilles veuves" -

L’héroïne Aline Sitoé Diatta est une figure très connue. Son royaume, Cabrousse, lui doit sa célébrité. Mais la Cité des vieilles veuves de Cabrousse est méconnue de beaucoup de Sénégalais y compris ceux de la région de Ziguinchor. Au centre de Kabrousse, un bloc de maisons se détache de la succession de concessions : c’est la Cité des vieilles veuves. C’est une tradition typique du Kabrousse. Ici, on se garde d’appeler hospice pour ne pas entretenir la confusion. Ce ne sont pas des maisons de retraite. Au royaume d’Aline Sitoé Diatta, les hommes n’osent pas reléguer ces vieilles mères à l’arrière-plan. La Cité des vieilles veuves a ses fonctions sociales qui ne sont pas toujours très connues. - See more at: http://www.lesoleil.sn/grand-air/item/59791-casamance-a-cabrousse-dans-la-cite-des-vieilles-veuves.html#sthash.Ho2BZJFq.dpuf

"Imperial Guilt And The Mau Mau Payout"

Sir Eric Griffith-Jones, the attorney-general in the British colony of Kenya at the time of the Mau Mau rebellion, was a sensitive soul who worried that the torture and murder of detainees in the prison camps where suspected Mau Mau supporters were being held was “distressingly reminiscent of conditions in Nazi Germany or Communist Russia.” So he wrote the governor in 1957, warning him that “If we are going to sin, we must sin quietly.” - See more at: http://www.the-star.co.ke/news/article-124025/imperial-guilt-and-mau-mau-payout#sthash.xP4cGo1S.dpuf
