Wangari Maathai, la femme qui plantait des arbres - Des écologistes remarquables, portraits

Des écologistes remarquables, portraits Publié le : Audio 03:45 Par : Agnès Rougier 12 mn Wangari Maathai, née en 1940 au Kenya, a été la première africaine à recevoir le prix Nobel de la paix pour son action en faveur de l’environnement, de l’émancipation des femmes et de la sécurité alimentaire. Constatant que la désertification et l’érosion des sols causent la famine et la pauvreté des populations rurales du Kenya, elle crée en 1977 le Mouvement de la ceinture verte, destiné à reboiser les terres et géré par les femmes des villages. On estime à plus de 50 millions, le nombre d’arbres qui ont été plantés depuis.

For Gaza Residents, Trauma and Pain Persist After Bombing Subsides

For Gaza Residents, Trauma and Pain Persist After Bombing Subsides Abraham Gutman © Fatima Shbair After 11 days of violence, Israel and Hamas agreed on a truce in Gaza on May 20. Israel is going back to relative normalcy, but things look very different in Gaza. “Even if the war stops, or there is a cease-fire or something, the people still have pain,” Ahmed, a 25-year-old Palestinian dentist in Gaza told me hours before the cease-fire. “We don’t even have a normal life to get back to.” Accounting of the horrors of the conflict in English-language media seems to reveal a stark asymmetry, not only in the level of devastation but also in the type of trauma that is acknowledged. The death of more than 230 Palestinians, including 66 children, and the nearly 2,000 wounded by Israeli bombing is often reported alongside details of Israelis who were “treated for injuries in rocket attacks that caused panic and sent people rushing into shelters.”
