  • Sudan Peace restoration in the sight of Sudanese Human Rights Activist, Ibrahim Yousuf ISHAG #rwanda #RwOT

    Sudan gained independence on 1st January 1956, since then the country has experienced alternating forms of democratic and authoritarian government. Sudan’s period of conflict (1955-1972 and 1983-2005) stands as one of the longest in Africa’s post-independence history.

    Continued conflict between the Khartoum-based Government and opposition forces in Sudan’s regions have oftentimes resulted in grave socio-political divides across the country, exacerbated by the struggle over natural resources.'

    Interview of the lawyer of Sudan, Ibrahim Yousuf ISHAG

    1. How is the current situation in Sudan after the outbreak of COVID19?

    Sudan is also affected by covid-19 as it’s the same with most countries globally.

    Fortunately, the effect was weak compared with other countries. And that guided the government to declare the medical emergency state in the country for almost six months from February to June.

    The total of dead persons was not big. The current situation is stable and people are practicing their activities normally.

    2. Has there been any change in your work (or as a lawyer) since the situation of COVID19 Pandemics?

    Yes, there was a big change. All courts are shut down, besides all law enforcement agencies, were also closed.

    3. What is a way to keep continue peace activities in this global pandemic situation?

    I think a suitable way to continue carrying peace activities is peace education like online training and video conferences.

    4. We know that Sudan consists of many tribes with various religions. Because of that, there are many conflicts until now. To resolve these internal conflicts and bring peace in Sudan, what are the fundamental works that the governments and religious leaders should do?

    Unfortunately the past terrorist Government was the main reason for all conflicts in Darfur. But now the transitional government shows much care to put an end to conflicts in the country by inviting all rebels to round table negotiations to achieve peace. Actually, it succeeded and signed a peace agreement with two rebel groups on third October 2020.

    I was targeted twice because of my activities as a human rights activist and as I am a member of the fur tribe. Also, I was jailed many times for the same reasons.

    5. Would you tell us the most memorable cases in your career (meaning working as a lawyer)?

    Yes, it was the Singita case which took place in 2004 where the Janjaweed (Arab armed militias who used to terrorize Darfur) burned Singita village and killed many people, looted all the properties in this case about 28 of the accused were found guilty and were sentenced to death.

    6. I heard that you were detained by the government for trying to inform the UN of the government’s persecution of your tribe. What are the differences between the current government’s policies comparing with the past?

    Surely the current government is better than the past one. Because It’s the government of Sudan revolution, which beliefs in equality, and justice, and it also respects human rights. Transitional government’s programs are headed by peace as the top priority.

    7. I heard you’re working in human rights groups. What is the biggest human rights issue recently in Sudan?

    The current hot human rights issue is the ongoing conflicts in Darfur, especially in Jebel Marra. All through the past week, there was heavy fighting which resulted in wide displacement, killing, mass rape.

    8. What do you think about the current state of peace in Sudan, compared to before and after the transitional government?

    The state of peace in Sudan is not stable It’s fragile. Also, there is a new peace agreement signed on 3 October 2020 but it seems that it will not bring comprehensive peace there are still other rebels groups fighting against the government.

    9. When did you feel the need for peace in your real life?

    In 2003 when the war broke out in Darfur. Peace is my aim so I decided to do for that goal and support any activities concerning peace.

    10. What plans do you have in the future as a lawyer and a peace activist?

    As a lawyer, I’ve been providing legal ids for vulnerable groups such as women and children for a long time, so I’ll continue to do those activities. Of course, I will do my work to raise awareness among communities, and bring the perpetrators to justice.

    As a peace activist, I will work with Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), an international peace organization based in South Korea that I have collaborated with for years, and other organizations to achieve peace. Also, I will support the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW), the law for peace, and hope to be brought to the UN and activated. That is the moment we are waiting for and will let the Sudanese enjoy life.

    Again I must say thank to HWPL which invited me to this interview.

  • Women-led businesses in coffee and horticulture sectors get relief to mitigate Covid-effects #rwanda #RwOT

    Women entrepreneurs and representatives from, Business Support Organizations attended the ceremony. The virtual launch also served as a platform for participants to discuss key issues and challenges that women in trade face in light of COVID-19.

    Most Rwandan firms still struggle to compete in the domestic markets and face difficulties in accessing regional markets due to their level of capacity and needs.

    According to the latest Establishment Census (2017), women are under-represented in business in Rwanda with only 33 percent of companies being women-owned. Among these, an estimated 98 per cent of women owned/led businesses are small or micro enterprises.

    In addition, female entrepreneurs have limited access to skilled labour compared to their male counterparts, which results in lower production at the SME level and under-utilized talent among individual employees.

    Funded by the Enhanced Integrated Framework, (EIF) SheTrades Rwanda will bring a strong export and gender focus to government of Rwanda’s recently launched African Development Skills and Business Development Programme (SBDP).

    Pamela Coke-Hamilton, Executive Director of the International Trade Centre, speaking on the occasion said, 'The SheTrades Rwanda project will provide effective and tailored support to women entrepreneurs in Rwanda, especially in the coffee and horticulture sectors. Streamlined to meet the needs of women owned businesses, our support will enable them to build back better from the COVID-19 crisis. The measures include identifying strategies for hedging market risks and unlocking opportunities for women entrepreneurs in Rwanda in the aftermath of the crisis. The SheTrades Rwanda Hub, to be established next year, will serve as a catalyst for facilitating women in Rwanda run sustainable businesses.'

    SheTrades Rwanda will enable women entrepreneurs to have full access to support from SBDP and avail opportunities to grow exports. It will also help unlock the potential in trade as an effective driver for the economic inclusion of women, overall economic expansion, job creation and innovation.

    As part of the launch ceremony, a Crisis Management Workshop will be conducted tomorrow for women-owned/led businesses. This workshop will equip women entrepreneurs with expertise on planning business activities during times of uncertainty and change management.

    Participants will also learn about export competitiveness and inclusive SME recovery. The workshop will also guide attendees towards identifying strategic adaptation to hedge market risks and unlock opportunities during and post COVID-19.

    The SheTrades Rwanda project aims to increase the competitiveness of women-owned businesses in Rwanda and connect them to regional and local markets.

    The project is implemented by International Trade Centre (ITC) under the framework of the SheTrades Initiative from September 2020 – February 2022. It is under the component of the 'Project to Enhance the Effectiveness and Efficiency of Export Growth Initiatives', funded by the Enhanced Integrated Framework (EIF) and managed by the Ministry of Trade and Industry of Rwanda.

  • Ghana Decides: President Nana Akufo-Addo Re-Elected #rwanda #RwOT

    Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo has won the presidential polls after his party the New Patriotic Party (NPP) secured  51.59% of the vote against 47.36% for the opposition candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Mahama.

    John Mahama is also a former president of Ghana- he does not agree with the outcome of the Wednesday elections.

    Jean Adukwei Mensa , President of the Electoral Commission announced the results saying only 515,524 votes separate President Akufo-Addo from his predecessor John Mahama, who became leader of the opposition in 2016.

    The NDC immediately announced it was rejecting the result saying it was an 'attack' on democracy.

    'The overwhelming evidence available prevents us from accepting this spurious and hasty conclusion,' Haruna Iddrisu, a party parliamentarian, said late Wednesday at a press conference in Accra.

    'We intend to take decisive and tangible steps, concerning both the results of the presidential and parliamentary elections, to reverse this brazen and brazen attack on our democracy,' said Haruna Iddrisu.

    The president calls for peace

    'I am once again deeply touched by the trust you place in me and I do not take it lightly,' the outgoing president had previously told a crowd of supporters gathered outside his house after the results were announced.

    'The time has come, regardless of political affiliations, to unite, to join hands and to stand side by side,' President Nana Akufo-Addo said.

    The presidential results were announced 48 hours after the end of the vote on Monday, when more than 17 million voters were called to the polls to choose between twelve candidates for the highest office.

    High participation rate The turnout for this election is 79%, according to the Election Commission. Ghanaians also elected their 275 MPs on Monday, but the results of the parliamentary elections have not yet been released by the Commission.

    The two main camps dispute part of the provisional results. Dozens of supporters gathered in front of the head of state's residence burst into joy at the news.

    The elections were generally calm, although 5 people have been killed in election violence since Monday, police said.

    'These were isolated incidents, although some are tragic,' EU observation mission chief Javier Nart said on Wednesday. 'Ghanaians voted freely on Monday,' he insisted.

  • Construction of Gahanga expo ground in offing #rwanda #RwOT

    In 2018, PSF announced 3-year plan to have built new modern grounds known as 'Rwanda International Trade and Exhibition Park’ to host the annual exhibition that was previously held in Gikondo.

    The decision was informed by observations that the existing Gikondo expo ground is not big enough to host a large number of exhibitors and visitors.

    Speaking to the media at the occasion of announcing preparations for the upcoming trade fair, the Chairman of PSF, Stephen Ruzibiza noted there was delay of planned activities but discussions with contractors are underway.

    'It has been many years since we planned to build new expo grounds but construction takes time. It is not easy as demolishing. We are however holding discussions with suppliers to provide construction equipment. Studies have been completed and we are in final phases of the master plan. We are to start construction activities towards the end of December or early January,' he said.

    Rwanda is preparing for the 23rd International Trade Fair scheduled between 11th and 31st December 2020.

    The expo will start from 9am to be closed 8pm every day for people to respect curfew hours. As of today, PSF has confirmed the participation of 372 companies including 72 foreign companies from 12 countries.

    The decision was informed by observations that the existing Gikondo expo ground is not big enough to host a large number of exhibitors and visitors.
