### "SPLM leadership in Warrap back removal of state governor" (2015)

    "SPLM leadership in Warrap back removal of state governor", Sudan Tribune (June 27, 2015)
* The security situation was volatile and scary because security forces were deployed around the parliament with the intention to intimidate the members of parliament to not vote against the extension of the term of the governor because it is not in the interest of the public.
* The reasons for rejections are many but the four main reasons are due to grave violation of the constitution which everyone is obliged to protect. One major violation of the constitution is that the members of parliament were forced to stand up and be counted, which is contrary to parliamentary rules and regulations.
* Nobody was forced to stand up and forced to vote. There are two ways of voting mechanism in the house. There is show of hands and secret voting. The majority opted for show of hands and so the house accepted because we are a democratic country. When it came to voting, majority got up again and they were counted,”
* All of us are new faces in the committee. The current chairperson of the committee was heading different committee in the last two years. He was the chairperson for security and public order.
* We in Warrap recognize strengths of the women in the society. This was why we elected first woman governor.”

I just pray that one day no woman will have to experience this pain. It will become a thing of the past. People will say "Did you hear, female genital mutilation has been outlawed in Somalia?" Then the next country, and the next, and so on, until the world is safe for all women. What a happy day that will be, and that's what I'm working toward. In'shallah, if God is willing, it will happen. ”

Why?! Because it's too painful to be a woman!" "Let us try and change what it means to be a woman.”

I’m sure my work will be dangerous, and I admit to being scared…. But my faith tells me to be strong, that God led me down this path for a reason. He has work for me to do. This is my mission. And I believe that long before the day I was born, God chose the day I will die, so I can’t change that. In the meantime, I might as well take a chance, because that’s what I’ve done all my life.”
* “nothing to be done, except go see them. I also knew they”

# Zohra Drif

Zohra Drif Bitat (Arabic: زهرة ظريف بيطاط, born 28 December 1934) is a retired Algerian lawyer, moudjahid (a militant of the Algerian War of Independence), and the vice-president of the Council of the Nation, the upper house of the Algerian Parliament.

## Quotes

* When negotiations between the Provisional Government of the Algerian Republic and the French government began, I was imprisoned in Pau, in the southern region of France. I had been there for almost six years, cut off from the events of the war. During this time in prison, we remained committed to demanding our rights, including the right to be informed. As prisoners, we fought for access to newspapers, staging several hunger strikes, some lasting quite long. By late 1961, we had finally won the right to receive newspapers—though they were, of course, French publications. This meant that when the negotiations started, we were kept informed through the French press.
** Drif Bitat, in response to the question: "Towards the end of the Battle of Algiers in 1957, you were arrested and remained imprisoned for the rest of the war. I'd like to know if, during the period from 1960 to 1962, you and other Algerian political figures in prison were aware of the negotiations happening in Evian? Were you able to communicate with the negotiators in any way? At the time, did you believe that de Gaulle would agree to Algerian independence across the entire territory, including the Sahara?"
* It is essential that the Palestinians avoid internal struggles for power after the end of the war. They must put aside personal ambitions and form a coalition without ulterior political motives. They must build a Palestine where women and men live together with the aim of sustaining a prosperous country that unites all of its children—no matter their political beliefs.
* Women are complete citizens, with the same duties and rights as men, including the same obligation to contribute to our development.
* In the past, rebellions had been regionally circumscribed. Across the country’ was massive, It helped convince the Algerian people that at long last their moment had arrived, and the struggle for independence was engaged.

## Quotes

* What are your impressions of the US and Americans from your last three weeks? During my presentation [to the AAEC], I tackled some topics that criticize Americans and I know there is a difference between the American people and the foreign policy, but what really frustrates me is the carelessness of Americans. They really don’t, you know, care about others outside the country. They don’t know what’s going on in the other parts of the world. They do not care about their countrymen who die on a daily basis in Iraq and Afghanistan. They didn’t learn from Vietnam.
** 2011 interview
* What is your impression of American editorial cartooning? I met two kinds of editorial cartoonists. Some of them, they deal with local and domestic issues and they never focus on U.S. foreign policy. One of them is Tom Toles, and I feel like he is not serving the people. And the others deal with international issues and understand the oppression and the suffering caused to other nations. One of them is Kal in The Economist. Really, I've started to change my mind and, you know what? I am going to be an international cartoonist. On the professional level, I was really impressed with Callahan's work--he talks about serious issues. I was so excited to meet such an iconic figure. The one lady, Jen Sorensen, I felt like she deals more with international issues.
** 2011 interview
* (I'm drawn to) all the issues that concern Egyptian citizen. I deal a lot with women's issues, gender rights, but I think I focus a lot of my work on Egyptian citizens and, because I think any reform should start with the Egyptian citizen, trying to get them to participate in this process. The purpose of editorial cartooning is to awaken people. Some media outlets, whether in the United States or Egypt, distort the facts. And normally the media is controlled either by government, by investors, by the people who have the money. So cartoons, they should look into issues and make it clear whether it is black or white, or whether there is a grey area. People can look and distinguish between sincere and honest cartoonists and from other kinds that are not. Even an historian can be under pressure and to fake the writing of history. But cartoonists, we have the freedom to say what we want.

## Quotes

* The COVID-19 outbreak presents an opportunity for manufacturing firms to leverage local and regional value chains.
* Looking ahead, the sector requires a new strategy and a fresh approach to navigate the current turbulent economic waters.
* Firstly, despite its abundant raw materials, the country lacks the capital equipment and other inputs needed to process and add value to these resources.
* Secondly, the optimal balance between industrial, trade, and tax policies has yet to be achieved, creating uncertainty in the domestic economy, particularly in the manufacturing sector.
** Florence Muleya responded to questions posed by the Daily Nation newspaper
* The decision by ZESCO management to engage only foreign firms for the supply of wooden poles, claiming that Zambian companies lack the capacity to meet procurement demands, is not supported by the facts.
* After extensive consultation with its members, ZAM has observed that the decision indeed disregarded local suppliers of wooden poles. Notably, the opportunity was not advertised locally before being offered to foreign companies, which would have verified the availability of local capacity.
* This decision disadvantaged local companies capable of meeting procurement demands. "In fact, one of our members, a long-time supplier of treated wooden electrical poles to ZESCO, has an installed plant capacity of 60,000 poles."
* In 2022, the company planned to produce a total of 30,000 wooden poles, highlighting the capacity of local manufacturers who were unfortunately excluded from the bidding process.
* ZAM has urged all key stakeholders and consumers of goods and services to prioritize local options first. The Association has reiterated its commitment to supporting and promoting the production and consumption of Zambian products and services to revitalize the Zambian economy.
* We hope ZESCO will reconsider and engage our local manufacturers in the sealed bids," stated the ZAM CEO.
