Darfur: No Lesson 1
Never go into Darfur without permission. We sent home. In summary here's what happened. I hope in the coming days to understand what happened, whether it was an overzealous government, new rules promoted by newly recruited officers or permits are not required by my organization. The result is that I made a long detour by air from Khartoum to Niala, El Geneina, El Fasher e.. return.
start but the beginning: started from Khartoum, the first image is a red sandy wind that envelops you when you arrive at Niala, capital of south Darfur. We have not even got off the plane, and after 10 minutes away again to El Geneina, near the border of Chad. The area most mangy in terms of violence and banditry. A bit ' throughout Darfur are suffering from this, but the proximity to the border makes it even more complicated.
My consultant tells me things from the old senttie: Before this conflict, the various ethnic groups were well together, resolve their disputes peacefully and the climate was fairly quiet (although conflicts over water in an area where it is scarce, There have always been). But the conflict and the political manipulations have created a climate of suspicion among the various groups, the large number of weapons in circulation has contributed the rest. Shooting is the fastest way to end conflict aun. The result: entire populations in refugee camps, and those weak institutional state that traditional in this so lose the pulse of the situation and can not be met, or more difficult.
In this context, we come in: not to bring food but to seek re restore confidence and a sense of community. Long processes, with difficulties to understand them even by the managers of the project and all because it offers a different way of working, closer to the people and less intrusive.
modesty, patience and, in a word "go-slow" approach. In El Fasher
had to do a training on conflict resolution but, after two hours of waiting without solving the problem, I have sent back. And so I made the visit as short memories in this land that is clayey, rich in bone-dry streams in this season, but relentless when it rains nell'allagare everything. Near El Geneina I speak of a land where they grow oranges incredible, with a rainfall of over 1000 mm per year. I need to check because it seems a lot more than it rains in northern Italy. But I was told that these areas are lands of contrasts.
I'm back in Khartoum, quiet in traffic, with a female poresenza more than you expect in a country that, according to some experts, would be ready to launch a rigorous application of the Sharia. The gender issue is a difficult subject, both in town and country, and only now, after almost ten months to begin to have access to first information. However now

FAO Reforço Temor de uma nova crise de alimentos no mundo
FAO reinforces fears of another food crisis in the world
Reuters 15/03/2011
The increase in global prices of staple foods increases the risk that the 2007-2008 food crisis in developing countries repeat itself, said yesterday the president of the Agency for Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (UN).
A jump in oil prices and the rapid consumption of global cereal stocks could be a harbinger of the supply crisis, said director-general of FAO, Jacques Diouf told Reuters in an interview during a visit to the UAE.
"The high price increases concerns and we are rapidly reducing the inventory," he said. "For years we have warned that it takes greater productivity and investment in agriculture."
The food price index of the UN in February rose for the eighth consecutive month to its highest level since at least 1990. All groups of commodities, except sugar, have increased in the last month.
Diouf said, until a few months, that global stocks of grain were at healthier levels than the restricted stock that triggered the crisis in 2007 and 2008. Last July, the inventory levels were 100 million tonnes higher than in 2007 but the economic advancement in developing countries and a return to growth in highly industrialized countries have led to further reductions.
Some countries in North Africa and the Middle East have made large purchases of grain to avoid conflict - partly stimulated by the high food prices - such as those that brought down the leaders of Tunisia and Egypt.
South Korea seeks to raise grain stocks and plans to buy loads of corn and other commodities in an effort similar to other Asian nations, concerned about high food prices and social unrest. In December, Mexico has purchased thousands of tons of corn in the futures market to hedge against high price of tortillas, which triggered clashes in the streets in 2007. "It's a reasonable thing to do, to protect themselves," said Diouf.
The recent rise in oil prices, which rose to about $ 120 a barrel last month, is exacerbating the increases in food prices, which can affect the ability of developing countries to cover its import needs, said Diouf. Oil prices have an impact on transport costs and agricultural inputs, including fertilizers.
FAO urged developed countries to reconsider their strategies for biofuels - which include large subsidies - as they have diverted 120 million tons of cereals for human consumption for fuel production.
"We are urging member countries to revisit their policies," said Diouf. "Having more energy does not mean you need to produce more biofuel."
Developed countries give $ 13 billion annually in subsidies and protection, to encourage biofuel production, said Diouf. In the States United States, the stocks of corn reached the lowest levels in 15 years, while major portions of the crop are used to produce ethanol. Avoid
another food crisis depends on the productivity of the crop in the next harvesting season, as well as the impact of economic growth on demand, Diouf said. But he also said that the increase in food prices and oil prices may adversely affect growth. He said it was too early to determine whether the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the largest grain importer in the world, have no effect on the total supply or demand for agricultural products

Watch Family Guy On My Ipod
Why remember
Five years ago we came home tired but happy after an event with a long and difficult negotiations to the last word between representatives of governments and farmers' organizations about how to deal with the issue of access, use and management of natural resources, ground in the first place. How to give an account of the historical efforts carried out by millions of peasants in the world to maintain a productive varieties better adapted to the available land, climate changing, evolving tastes, how to recognize the specificities of indigenous peoples and, in a wild word how to open the doors of dialogue between actors who, on these issues, rather they tend to speak for bias. Perhaps it was
the very daring to believe that we could give concrete form to the principles and values \u200b\u200bwritten on the stones in our input, to believe that the participation could be fit something not only fashionable but to share space, to listen and understand the interests of others and seek together while respecting the interests of everyone, even the solutions that take into account long-term ecological balance.
Being able to put around the table an important part of these actors, not all of course, to speak in an atmosphere a little less tense, then this was perhaps the biggest legacy of those days in Porto Alegre.
In my few understood what it meant at this time within this organization, and even friends, then or later, they have difficltá understand why the insistence to return to those passages. They have other priorities, all decent, God forbid, but the point is just to get to Capri, where is the core of things and see what lessons learned from these events in order to serve for the future. If even those who say they share the dreams, values \u200b\u200band principles, can not focus on what it meant to bring so many countries and many farmers' organizations to talk together, to seek possible ways, in fact proving that it would be possible only wanting it, break down also very strong walls, then you're talking about here, even if your dearest understand it, what sense does it?
now all is consumed in the act itself, so no memory organizzazto officer was not even a moment to discuss the legacy of that conferenxza, what has been done (a little) and what could be done, what lessons we have for the future that we can forge alliances and to do what we are together ... With the memory to zero. I tried it with four friends I've got to try to talk a bit ', the time for a little soup and a vegetable, but nobody has time for anything, now is coming to a new price crisis (announcement just out on our site), the agrarian crisis progresses, then there are emergencies, should be the ones to do .. here, let me vote I think we must also be those of thinking, stop to think ... to analyze the roads, paths taken, the mistakes ... but maybe I'm wrong channel .. need to tune up the right one.

48 hours: and life goes ...
One Saturday morning began by recalling that in Pitigliano would bury the son of a colleague, died of a motorcycle accident in the prime of youth. At home jobs to assemble your furniture and prepare for the vernissage of Mauro. A friend writes from Paraguay, as a reminder that they are trying to start this policy of agricultural development are helping to prepare. Another friend is returning from Darfur to Khartoum, waiting to see us there with the team next Thursday.
News from Japan on the radio, more and more dramatic, do not find a trace of ten thousand people, and some nuclear plants show signs of crisis. You prepare a salad for lunch and two eggs, while Angola Francisco writes you about visas. A nice adventure, go down with young children, but he lacks the courage. E'arrivato Mario, his brother, to cut a little above and start elgna tagaire cedar. The largest tree we have at home, but is full of processionary and has become ill and, in particular, is beginning to break the wall and dance a little too much when there is a storm, so we decided to remove it and leave more space to nearby trees.
Afternoon at the Flaminio: first stage for several decades, especially the first time in a rugby match. Great party, colors, smells, smiles, different people that are good together. We sing hymns, is rooting for their team then won the other one not. A pizza to celebrate, take stock of your daughter in Paris, happy because his "copain" will arrive soon.
A little 'reading, take stock of the Japan, the blackberry to meet Chris in Mozambique, then feel sorry for her vernissage Mauro and in bed.
Sunday morning you get up early, good background music, cooking until noon for the promise of organize this event. They come from Nepal news, go out to take the newspaper and met Mr. Peter, "whistle" to his friends. Talk with him but then it rains and makes way for a cold.
Bars, a look at the paper, a quick lunch and watching the news: How did the events for the Constitution, breaking news from Japan, the fiasco of the French. A bit of football, not however given that Inter have almost threw away the championship chase. A cold and rainy afternoon, with the colors that a child gave you an infinite sadness.
And then by Mauro, bringing food and drinks for an army. So many people, a large space, which is worth seeing so that at last his great paintings have an appropriate space, as well as the iron works. A cheerful evening, then come home, the troops of dogs and cats happy to see you again. Things get worse in Japan, it is about nuclear risk, think about the week that awaits you, these two lines that you wanted to write, just to feel the life that is infinitely sad moments, joyful elsewhere, but never boring . It will be a week that will leave Uganda, with another Mario, who will arrive tomorrow morning, then jump in Angola, South Africa and Mozambique. The tour will continue in Nepal and Pakistan, perhaps with a trip to Paraguay on Wednesday before taking the flight to Darfur. I hope to bring back some pictures.

the book: what to eat? start from Corsica
the wake of the fine book by Massimo Carlotto I trust you, I try to open a book more or less irregular, the quality of food and products or we end up on the table or let us try to be more confident of their authenticity.
begin from an island close to us, Corsica, bringing this article published by http://www.bakchich.info/COCHONS-de-Beaute, D'où vient 11719.html
the charcuterie corse?
Sur les marchés de Provence, quai du Port ou le long de la plage, we stand east immanquable "Produits corses", avec des noms here Sentent the maquis et la tête de Maure un peu partout. À exorbitants des prix, c'est corn, vous explique-t-on, de Rançon insularity. And the cost of traditional methods for salting and drying these pigs frolicking in the woods and stuff themselves with chestnuts before being fired buckshot by natives, in return for their freedom bandits of honor.
Alas! all pigs on the island would hardly suffice to cater for two or three days Corsican sausage factories ... because the herd is lean and it is eaten with the family in the villages, or by reserving choice cuts for kin the continent who returns every summer to nap in the casa in ownership. So, a few plants 'transformation', particularly in Corse-du-Sud, dealing tons of meat that will end in "Corsican products.
In the port of Bastia, each morning we can see land heaps of carcasses of pigs generally coming from the frozen continent or country where it would be surprising if they gave of the chestnuts and acorns - the question is even Learn how crap it has thickened their bacon. And from there everything starts with the cutting, chopping and brine, and come back with, written in very small, 'made (or processed) in Corsica "on the packaging. When there is a package ...
So good appetite to devour the prisuttu authentic born in Romania (35 to 50 euros a kilo, anyway!) Of lonzu sow Polish or Chinese, the coppa and figatellu from intensive hog Brittany or English. Not necessarily bad, and sometimes tasteful - there's know-how on the side of Sartene. Less exotic, however, that the donkey sausage : Gammon of the donkeys has just Argentina, they say. No, but you believe that the Corsicans to leave the tourists eat their sharp focus (some) ass?
