Roots and Steadiness

An inspiration, strong roots in a beautiful background. Nature asking for protection, for the next generations to enjoy it as well.

My garden in Harare, flowers of hope

We should trust Morgan and the new departure in Zimbabwe. He is a fighter and a brave, very sincere politician.

After eigth years of preciptious fall, deep governance crisis, wrong policies and anti-democratic practices, there is a ray of hope and a little bit of colour.

Like the flowers in the garden.

The Children' s Goals

The implementation of the Millenium Development Goals will make a difference to the future of these children. They still believe in the world outside there.

Darfur women

There is hope. What is most important is to safeguard their rights.

In New York City

After a very long trek, I am today in the city that never sleeps but where the economy is a little under stress, not sleepy, it is true, but not so vibrant.

Many people on the streets, more than ever, one gets the impression, but that is certainly just a feeling, but less shoppers in the big stores. It is quieter there than in the streets. That's more than an impression, I am afraid...

Also, today is the second day after the demise of Lehman Brothers, and the status of the economy is present in many minds. So much so, that the President decided to cancel a statement on the crisis he was scheduled to make...It is worrisome...

But New York remains a city for the young.

Zimbabwe, um grande passo em frente

Para quem conhece bem a crise profunda que o Zimbabwe atravessa, desde 2000, o acordo de hoje e' certamente um passo importante, que convira' acompanhar, 'a medida que os resultados o justifiquem. Gradualmente, primeiro, mas depois com grande empenho. Nessa altura a Europa nao podera' dizer "nao".

A very long Sunday

I spent most of the day preparing for my trip to New York, which will start on Tuesday.

I will be addressing the Security Council on matters related to Chad. To Eastern Chad actually, because my mandate has nothing to do with the domestic political process that is taking place in the country. I am supposed to focus just on the security situation in area along the border with Darfur.
