Le Maroc interdit une manifestation de soutien aux Tunisiens: FETHI BELAID
Les manifestations en Tunisie durent depuis le 17 décembre. Ce lundi, le président Ben Ali les a qualifiés d'"actes terroristes impardonnables."
Gênées par les troubles qui agitent le voisin maghrébin, les autorités marocaines ont interdit, ce lundi à Rabat, une réunion de soutien aux manifestants tunisiens.
Ce week-end, les manifestations en Tunisie contre le chômage se sont amplifiées, faisant au moins 35 morts. Et se sont déplacées, du centre du pays vers les villes touristiques de la Tunisie, situées sur la côte. En réponse, le président Ben Ali s'est exprimé lundi soir, qualifiant les manifestations "d'actes terroristes".
Ce mouvement gêne le Maroc. Ce lundi, un rassemblement de soutien aux manifestants tunisiens devait avoir lieu vers 17h, devant l'ambassade de Tunisie à Rabat. Organisée par un collectif d'associations, dont l'AMDH (Association Marocaine des Droits Humains), cette mobilisation a finalement été interdite par les autorités marocaines, a appris l'envoyée spéciale de L'Express sur place. Le régime marocain aurait motivé son refus par "l'impossiblité pour un pays voisin de la Tunisie d'autoriser sur son territoire une manifestation hostile au régime de Zine El Abidine Ben Ali" et qui aurait pu envenimer les relations bilatérales.
Ce mardi, une journée d'information sur les cadres préférentiels des échanges commerciaux devait se tenir à Tunis, au profit des intermédiaires en douane et des opérateurs économiques des deux pays, a-t-on appris sur le Infomaroc.net. Un contexte économique qui semble donc bannir toute tentative de déstabilisation.
Lundi soir, les associations qui ont appelé à ce rassemblement se sont réunies afin de définir les suites à donner à ce mouvement. Elles devraient de nouveau organiser un rassemblement jeudi 13 janvier vers 17h.

"Même la mort ne veut pas de moi": Farouk Batiche
.Journaliste à Alger, Adlène Meddi a recueilli le témoignage de Samir, un émeutier traqué qui n'attend plus qu'une chose : quitter son pays.
La cicatrice qui lui parcourt le cou dans l’obscurité de la planque frappe comme un cri de désespoir. Haletant, débit de paroles nerveux et regards paniqués, Samir*, 29 ans, vient d’échapper à une énième course-poursuite avec des policiers sur les hauteurs d’Alger. Il n’est qu’une masse de chair frémissante et meurtrie.
"Oui j’ai cassé, j’ai brûlé, j’ai caillassé", lance t-il en un souffle chargé de relents de whisky bon marché, arrangeant sans cesse sa casquette mise de travers à la mode "racaille". "Mais tout ça - il exhibe sa cicatrice puis son abri de fortune – c’est le consulat, mon frère, c’est le consulat !"
Entre trois et six morts
Depuis plus de trois jours, Samir et ses copains d’un quartier populaire perché sur une des collines d’Alger n’ont quasiment pas dormi. Ces jeunes de 25 à 30 ans ont fait éclaté leur colère - "non, notre désespoir", corrige Samir en plein entretien – lors des émeutes qu’ont connues Alger et sa périphérie depuis mercredi dernier. Emeutes qui ont fini par embraser le pays en entier, de la frontière marocaine à la frontière tunisienne. Une vague de colère sans précédent depuis les émeutes d’octobre 1988, fossoyeuses du régime du parti unique.
Officiellement, les autorités annoncent trois morts, mais des témoignages relayés par la presse privée évoquent un bilan plus lourd, entre quatre et six morts, ainsi qu’une centaine de blessés côté manifestants et plus de cinq cents du côté des forces de l’ordre.
Partout dans le pays, le mot d’ordre des émeutiers est le même : "Halte à la cherté de la vie !" Depuis début 2010, les prix de l’huile et du sucre (et des produits alimentaires dérivés) ont augmenté jusqu’à 40%, d’un coup. De plus, "l'inflation n'est pas de 4,5% comme le prétendent les autorités, selon l’économiste Abderrahmane Mebtoul, mais de 10%, et le chômage dépasse les 20%."
+ 50% pour les salaires des policiers
Plusieurs syndicats indépendants avaient prévenu, l’année 2011 serait chaude. La rue bouillonnait. D’autant qu’à la même période, le patron de la Sûreté nationale, l’ex-général-major Abdelghani Hamel, annonçait une augmentation des salaires des policiers de… 50%, avec effet rétroactif à partir de janvier 2008 ! "Et nous ? On crève comme des chiens alors qu’on n’a rien vu de l’argent du pétrole", éclate un père de famille rencontré dans un café de Bab El Oued, le mythique quartier populaire d’Alger, bastion des émeutes des derniers jours.

Palestine' has a Mediterranean coastline to swim:Riazat Butt
Now Palestinians are not even supposed to have a coastline! So in case anybody was thinking of going swimming in the sea someday in Palestine, it will have to be in the Dead Sea (for dead palestinians).
In a letter to the ASA, Lewis wrote: "At the very least it implies that Now Palestinians are not even supposed to have a coastline! So in case anybody was thinking of going swimming in the sea someday in Palestine, it will have to be in the Dead Sea (for dead palestinians).
At the very least it implies that facto jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority. More seriously, it implies that Pal'Palestine' has a Mediterranean coastline; but while this is true as regards to Gaza, that territory is not within the de estine occupies the whole or the bulk of the territory between the Mediterranean and the Jordan, ignoring the existence of Israel."

Palestinian holiday ad 'ignored existence of Israel'Board of Deputies of British Jews welcomes ASA investigation into advert that ran in National Geographic's Traveller magazine
Share53 Riazat Butt guardian.co.uk, Monday 10 January 2011 16.25 GMT Article history Palestine tourism ad.
The Board of Deputies of British Jews today welcomed the launch of an official investigation into a Palestinian holiday advert, after complaining that it ignored the existence of Israel.
According to the advert from the Palestinian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, appearing in this month's edition of National Geographic's Traveller magazine, "Palestine is a land rich in history with a tradition of hospitality. From the famous cities of Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Hebron, Jericho, Nablus and Gaza, the Palestinian people welcome you to visit this Holy Land."
It continues: "Starting from the earliest religious pilgrims, the country has seen famous visitors come and go.
"Palestine lies between the Mediterranean coast and Jordan River, at the crossroads between Africa and Middle East. It takes a visit to this wonderful country to appreciate the most palpable facet of its culture: the warmth and humour of the Palestine people."
The Advertising Standards Authority received 60 complaints from individuals and organisations, including the Board of Deputies, which accused the advert of being "deeply disturbing" and "an affront to international law". The ASA is now investigating the complaints.
A London lawyer, David Lewis, said it was "like describing Portugal as lying between the Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean".
In a letter to the ASA, Lewis wrote: "At the very least it implies that 'Palestine' has a Mediterranean coastline; but while this is true as regards to Gaza, that territory is not within the de facto jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority. More seriously, it implies that Palestine occupies the whole or the bulk of the territory between the Mediterranean and the Jordan, ignoring the existence of Israel."
The Board of Deputies chief executive, Jon Benjamin, said he was pleased by the decision and hoped an "objective review" would "result in the necessary action".
Last year two Israeli government tourist office ad campaigns fell foul of the ASA.
One included images of the Palestinian-run West Bank in a holiday advert. The ASA said it featured various landmarks that were in east Jerusalem, which were part of the occupied territories, and ordered that it not be used again.
The other depicted the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Golan Heights – also part of the occupied territories – as part of Israel.

To be eaten by the wolves:Emad Mekay
Unrest Spreads to Algeria
The protests in Algeria come as similar demonstrations continue unabated in the neighbouring North African nation Tunisia, also hailed previously as an economic success story by Western banks and investors.
At least four Tunisians have died during the ongoing protests against the poor economic performance of Western-backed autocratic ruler President Zine el Abidine Ben Ali.
The protests in both Arab countries were initially ignored by the Western media and Western governments but as the protests escalated Washington began to take note.
A Middle East advisor to former U.S. president George W. Bush and leading neo-conservative Elliott Abrams said on his blog at the Council on Foreign Relations that Tunisia was an "unimportant" country, but expressed concern that the fallout from the demonstrations could be dangerous for other Arab nations.
The spillover from Tunisia was quick to come in neighbouring Algeria, a country that provides Europe with 20 percent of its gas needs and is the world’s sixth largest natural gas producer after Russia, the United States, Canada, Iran, and Norway.
The unrest in Algeria, saw thousands of young people hurl stones at the police, set tires on fire, storm mail offices and government banks, and demand better living conditions and a greater share of the country’s oil wealth.
The unrest was widely reported in the Arab region and was seen as a symptom of growing impatience with regimes considered in the West to be "moderate" for toeing Western policy lines but that are in fact dictatorial and brutal towards their own people.
"The protests in Tunisia are a warning message to all Arab rulers," wrote columnist Fahmy Howeidi in several Arab newspapers, just days before the unrest spilled over to Algeria.
"The revolution of the hungry and the deprived couldn’t be ignored any more…The message from Tunisia is that tyranny can extend the life of a regime but it cannot keep it alive forever. All Arab countries suffer similar conditions to the ones that started the Tunisian protests," Howeidi said.
Now the Algeria and Tunisia "uprisings", as they are being called in the region, are front page stories in many independent Arab newspapers including Masrawy, a popular portal and AlMesryoon, an online daily newspaper in Egypt, the Arab world’s most populated country, as well as top pan-Arab news portals such as Aljazeera.net and Alarabiya.net. Even Yahoo’s Arabic version couldn’t ignore it for long.
Like other Arab countries, the regime of President Abdelaziz Bouteflica in Algeria is perceived as corrupt and inept despite high oil revenues. Algeria, a member of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), saw its oil income rise sharply in 2010 as a result of higher oil and gas prices, but the benefits didn’t trickle to the disenfranchised Algerians.
Similarly, Tunisia’s President Ben Ali has worked to develop the touristic coastline, leaving the majority of Tunisians mired in poverty and unemployment.
Both countries see conspicuous display of wealth by the rich, spread of bribery to obtain government benefits such as housing, as well as nepotism – issues that have inflamed public sentiments for years.
Many of Algeria’s 36 million people find it hard to get by on daily basis, with many complaining about the difficulties of finding housing and providing for their families.
Algeria’s state-owned energy giant Sonatrach was hit in 2010 with a major corruption scandal after several senior officials and members of their families were found to have illegally tampered with contract awards for personal gain.
More specifically, the trigger for this week’s riots in Algeria came at the beginning of the month when staple food prices such as flour, cooking oil, milk and sugar averaged a 30 percent increase in the four days prior to the break-out of the protests.
Algerians, who had admiringly watched Tunisians shrug off their decades- long image of meekness during weeks of protests, also took to the streets venting their frustration at several government offices, mail offices and some banks.
Algerian Trade Minister Mustafa Benbada was forced Saturday to act to bring down rising food prices. He announced that the government will cut food prices by 14 percent, the official Algerian News Agency said.
Several blogs from Algeria said the protesters were still upset at the corruption, the widening gap between the rich and the poor and the abuse by the Western-backed ruling autocratic regime. Protests continued in several cities in Algeria.
"All over the Arab world, we are left to be eaten by the wolves," said one Algerian blogger named Bousaad.
"Algeria has turned into a jungle where the beastly eats the weak," a blogger named Rabei wrote Sunday. "The gap between the rich and the poor is getting larger by the hour."
"The Arab nation is looking to you, young people, who are carrying out the protests for change," said another blogger, Sawan. (END)
