Africa: Human Rights a concern even in S.Africa

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Africa: Human Rights a concern even in S.Africa

[Human Rights… which blacks moaned about so much when they blamed whites for it… But they are among its worst perpetrators… Note: Even S.Africa is not free of it… Jan]

Rights concerns in Africa extend beyond Sudan
—————————————————————————Associated Press, THE JERUSALEM POST Jan. 14, 2005

While raising its greatest concern about violence in the Darfur region of Sudan, Human Rights Watch also denounced other abuses throughout Africa.

Grave concerns remain about Zimbabwe, where repressive laws are used to suppress criticism of the government, Human Rights Watch said in its annual report Thursday.

In the Democratic Repubic of Congo, combatants fighting in the east continue killing, torturing and raping civilians, carrying out arbitrary arrests and destroying property.

Eritrea remains “a highly repressive state in which dissent is suppressed and non-governmental political, civic, social and minority religious institutions are largely forbidden to function,” the report said.

In Ethiopia, security forces have illegally detained, tortured and killed political opponents and suspected insurgents.

The greatest concerns were raised about the violence in the Darfur region of Sudan, which the group described as a fundamental threat to human rights. It estimated 2 million civilians have been displaced by the government and militias and 70,000 people have died.

Improvements were noted in several countries, but concerns remain. Few serious abuses have taken place under the government of President Mwai Kibaki in Kenya, but potential for serious problems exist because much of the repressive state machinery remains from the presidency of Daniel arap Moi.

South Africa has laid the foundation for protecting human rights, but some problems remain, including excessive force by police and violence against women, the report said.

The rights situation in Sierra Leone “has improved vastly” since its civil war ended in 2002, but questions remain about the government’s willingness to guarantee economic, social and cultural rights.
