Clinging to the upturned hull of the Nazar, the fishing boat that had carried the migrants out into the black waters off Tripoli, the survivors had dreamt they were floating west and, by Allahs divine grace, had come upon the distant green lights of Malta. For two days they had clung to the oily hull of the ship. Again and again they had slipped backwards into the watery Mediterranean tomb that surrounded them. Each time they had somehow made it back onto the rotten wooden carcass of the boat, using the floating corpses of other would-be migrants to help them climb back. Dear God, how many can there be? whispered the captain of the Libyan coastguard vessel to his deckhand, repeating the words in Berber and Arabic as the high beam on the starboard of the Libyan navy rescue ship drew closer and lit up the remains of the vessel. Even for experienced mariners, the sight was unforgettable. Pregnant women from Somalia, Nigerian Dec 31 2009 9:49PM

THE Inspector General of Police, Maj. Gen. Kale Kayihura, recently gave a fascinating interview to the Sunday Vision which merits serious consideration and comment. In the interview, the Police chief highlighted what he considered to be the major weakness of our criminal justice system. He said: ?There is a disconnect between justice according to the law and popular justice. Justice according to the law tends to favour the suspects?. He said the presumption of innocence until proven guilty is an English common law principle. ?When I was doing criminal law at the university, I was told that the philosophical justification is that you would rather have 99 murderers on the streets of Kampala than detain one innocent person,? he said.

Rio Tinto Alcan is a partner with Cameroon's government in Alucam, a bauxite mining and aluminium smelting operation that had already slashed output by nearly 40 percent from its 90,000 tonne capacity in 2009 due to power shortages. "The new contract will last 30 years and Alucam will now pay 12.94 CFA francs ($0.029) per kilowatt of electricity, up from about 6 CFA francs for the previous one," Cameroon's Finance Minister Lazarre Essimi Meny said late on Friday. "On paper, the price increase seems to be too much, but in reality it is just within international norms," he added. Menye said state power firm AES-SONEL will raise power supply to Alucam to 250 MW in 2012 when the Kribi gas-fired power plant goes operational and to 490 MW in 2013, when other power plants come on line.

Government hopes the promise of swift justice will help stamp out crime during the event and ease worries of fans visiting one of the world's most violent countries. "The courts are here to speed the process. There is not going to be any leniency," said justice department spokesman Tlali Tlali. "We're going to deal with all cases that have to do with the tournament," he said. An average of 50 people die violently every day in South Africa, while 250,000 homes are burgled every year.

Dos Santos, who has been president of the oil-rich African nation for 30 years, was addressing members of the central committee of the ruling Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola, ahead of the party?s sixth congress in December. "The transparency of management actions and good governance are an aspect where there is still much work to do... The best is to commit ourselves to a kind of "zero tolerance" after the sixth congress," Dos Santos said. He said the party had been "timid" in holding officials to account through the courts and parliament and this had been "exploited by irresponsible people and by people of bad faith" to allow the "squandering of resources."

Alain Bedouma told AFP both countries' governments had agreed to the court's jurisdiction in the disagreement, allowing them to make a formal application at the court in The Hague. The two west African countries, both former French colonies, have had difficulties agreeing their common border, which is about 650 kilometres (400 miles) long. Bedouma said the ICJ's expertise in settling border disputes was known around the world and both countries would abide by its decision. The minister did not say when the court would start work on the case. In 2006, the ICJ settled a long-running territorial dispute between Niger and Benin, when it ruled that Niger had ownership the disputed island of Lete on the River Niger that straddles their common border.
