21.06.2003 Sono molti gli immigrati che giungono in Kenya alla ricerca di lavoro e di migliori opportunità di vita. Si fa pressante, quindi, l'esigenza di colmare il vuoto normativo ad oggi esistente al fine di garantire a queste persone un'adeguata protezione contro le violenze, le discriminazioni e le forme di razzismo e xenofobia di cui sono vittime.
Ci si auspica pertanto che la Commissione per la Revisione della Costituzione (Constitution of Kenya Review Commission-CKRC), che sta lavorando per dare una nuova legge costituzionale al Kenya, affronti il problema garantendo la tutela dei diritti degli immigrati e dei non-cittadini.

19.06.2003 Zambia's economy until 1991 was largely controlled by the Government. After the change of Government in 1991 many parastatal companies were privatised or liquidated in line with IMF and World Bank conditionalities for the country to receive further aid and rescheduling of its huge US$ 6 billion debt. The effects of privatisation, however, have been harsh.
