- Le respect des us et coutumes et l'observance des interdits qui y sont liés conservent la pureté des valeurs culturelles en même temps qu'ils maintiennent l'équilibre social. Mais quand l'autorité crée des victimes innocentes, fait couler du sang qui n'est pas celui des animaux immolés, il y a abus.

- Il y a quelques jours, le président ivoirien, Laurent Gbagbo, s'adressait à son peuple conformément à la promesse faite à Libreville lors de la concertation qu'il a eue avec le chef de l'Etat gabonais, Omar Bongo, et le ministre français des Affaires étrangères, Dominique de Villepin. Le message de Laurent Gbagbo contenait quelques bonnes promesses et des projets de réformes politiques et militaires fort tentants. |

- Une tournée diplomatique et un discours consensuel n'y changeront rien. La Côte d'Ivoire est toujours au bord de la guerre. On peut certes saluer les efforts du président ivoirien Laurent Gbagbo, qui a multiplié, la semaine dernière, les rencontres avec ses voisins, notamment malien et burkinabè, pour tenter de relancer un processus de paix dans l'impasse. Les visites qu'il a effectuées à Bobo Dioulasso et au Mali valent toujours mieux que les communiqués laconiques et désagréables avec lesquels il apostrophait parfois les pays de la sous-région voici quelques mois encore. |

- As predicted a few weeks back when California announced that they were requiring a paper trail on any e-voting machine, having such a large state do so would make other states follow suit. So, the next one up appears to be Nevada who announced today that they'll require paper receipts. However, here's where the article gets weird. They're claiming that they're the first state to do so, but that seems to ignore the California announcement from last month. The only thing that might support this claim (and this isn't clear) is that the California mandate is basically: |
