Déplacements massifs de population, violence et urgences médicales en République Démocratique du Congo, Somalie, Irak, Soudan et Pakistan, situation sanitaire désastreuse au Myanmar et au Zimbabwe, manque d’attention face à la prévalence croissante de la co-infection VIH-tuberculose, indigence de moyens pour prévenir et traiter la malnutrition infantile, malgré l’existence de produits efficaces…

Tels sont dix des contextes ou des problématiques sur lesquelles MSF s’est engagée cette année, et que l’ONG souhaite porter à l’attention du public.

 Nigeria - Entrenched Epidemic: Wife-Beatings in Africa

By Sharon LaFraniere, New York Times, August 11, 2005.

In Nigeria, one in three women report having been physically abused by a male partner. Yet, with a population of nearly 130 million people, the country has only two shelters for battered women. Boys are taught from an early age of their superiority over girls. In adulthood, men expect to be able to control women – even in relationships based on love. According to Sharon LaFraniere, “Nigeria’s penal code, in force in the Muslimdominated north, specifically allows husbands to discipline their wives – just as it allows parents and teachers to discipline children – as long as they do not inflict grievous harm. Assault laws could apply, but the police typically see wife-beating as an exception.”
- This summary was written by the World Peace Forum News (no.17, August 29, 2005).

BBC : ‘Zimbabwe’s torture training camps’. By Hilary Andersson, BBC Africa correspondent

President Robert Mugabe’s government has set up secret camps across the country in which thousands of youths are taught how to torture and kill, the BBC has learned.

The Zimbabwean government says the camps are job training centres, but those who have escaped say they are part of a brutal plan to keep Mugabe in power.
