This dam created a back-flow that submerged his agricultural crops and houses <br /> <br /> Right now he is not able to carry out any activity because his land has been submerged.Before the company took over,during the rainy season.There would be occasional floods and his homestead would not be affected but now the floods are permanent right from his homestead-<br /> <br /> He still holds the view that this land belongs to him becuase there was no ennvironmental impact assessment and therefore called upon court to intervene to get back his land tha has been submerged.<br /> <br /> '''Recommendations from the activity'''<br /> Despite the multi sectoral nature of the swamp,NEMA does not appear to have used its power under section 60 of ENCA to require written comments on the EIA by such lead agencies like the fisheries department,Kenya Wildlife services,water and migration department or the department of Agriculture <br /> Therefore the project should be pending comments from above stakeholder<br /> <br /> List of print 1<br /> <br /> [[Category:Food sovereignty, peasants and land reform]]<br /> [[Category:Housing and human habitat]]<br /> [[Category:Nairobi WSF 2007]]</div>

<p>Herrada: </p> <hr /> <div>Regaining Control of our Natural Resources<br /> 22-23 January, 2007<br /> Moi International Sports Centre<br /> Nairobi, Kenya<br /> <br /> CIEL co-organized this two-day workshop with a wide range of organizations, including among others, the Council of Canadians Blue Planet Project; Focus on the Global South; Friends of the Earth International; the Global Forest Coalition; Oilwatch Africa; Via Campesina; and the World Forum of Fishworkers and Fish Harvesters<br /> <br /> This event involved a diverse array of civil society actors, especially from Africa, to discuss the impacts and underlying causes of the commodification of various natural resources. The workshop allowed the speakers and participants to analyze different regional concerns; and to exchange ideas about effective campaign solutions, strategies and tools. The workshop focused on the following natural resources: land/seeds; fisheries; forests; biodiversity; energy; minerals; and water. <br /> <br /> The first day of the workshop involved exchanging ideas about effective campaign solutions, strategies and tools to maintaining and restoring community/indigenous management of natural resources and related knowledge. Speakers discussed successful community management projects and campaigns, particularly how these projects have been protected, initiated, promoted, and developed, as well as the key difficulties. <br /> <br /> In addition, the first day of the workshop involved an exchange of ideas about the experiences of direct action and nationalization of natural resources (with a particular focus on Bolivian and the Venezuelan examples) and examined the related impacts on communities' access and the sustainable use of natural resources. <br /> <br /> The second day of the workshop focused on exchanging ideas about effective campaign solutions, strategies and tools involved in making, changing and using the law. Particular attention was paid to how communities can use, change and make laws to help regain access to or prevent the destruction of their natural resources and environment. In addition, the workshop looked at how to use national courts to change corporate practice and seek redress. The focus of this session was on oil, mining, water, and forests.<br /> <br /> The second day also focused on the potential role of new technologies and market mechanisms. More specifically, this part of the workshop focused on whether the emerging new technologies are likely to help or hinder people's access to natural resources, and how the market mechanisms impact local communities and their access to natural resources and a clean environment. The focus in this session was on nanotechnology and new markets in biofuels, carbon and environmental services.<br /> <br /> The workshop was followed by a strategy meeting of the organizers to discuss follow-up, including building a network and creating advocacy tools.<br /> Reported by Getrude.<br /> <br /> [[category:Environment and energy]]<br /> [[category:Nairobi WSF 2007]]</div>

<p>Herrada: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Sunday Jan 21, 2007<br /> NAIROBI'''<br /> <br /> '''Speakers:'''<br /> Ismaeel Daewood, <br /> Phyllis Bennis,<br /> Ewa Jasiewicz,<br /> Paola Gasparoli<br /> <br /> '''Mod''': Herbert Docena<br /> <br /> '''Ismaeel on Iraq now:'''<br /> The political process that had to emerge after the elections has not brought what was promised. Instead of stabilising Iraq it was all bad, negative.<br /> The process was selective. Some parties, some groups, some tribes, some .. gained political power while others were excluded. This pushed the violence between religions, groups, etc. The main goal was occupation, not rebuilding Iraq. The aim has always been to redesign Iraq to suit US foreign policy. <br /> From the onset, the occupation took a dangerous route: p.e. Focussing on a new constitution emphasising the differences between religions. Not only acknowledging that there are differences, but taking the differences as the defining starting point for a constitution. Using ethnic differences.<br /> The new gov uses the word reconciliation to push their agenda in stead of creating space for respect for differences. <br /> Linked with the regional sensitivities (religion vs religion, but also country vs country). <br /> The use of violence became the modus operandi for the Iraqi government, singularly focussing on security now, while putting human rights, and other rights in second. <br /> Reality is that people were driven into the hands of the militia, for their safety and livelihood. The history of Al-Qaeda in Iraq starts after the invasion, not before.<br /> Iraqis make a distinction between terrorists and resisters. For a long time, resisters were not aligned along sectarian lines. Now, this is more and more the case. Neighbours are, for their safety blocking roads for their neighbours now. More out of fear than out of hate. Iraqis do not believe military force can solve anything. Everybody feels that. But all Iraqis are forced to take sides on all violent issues. <br /> All promised about freedom, human rights and democracy are broken. The only solution to this conflict is the end of the war. Whatever the solution is, it starts with an end to the violence, not more violence, reconciliation: TO give the space to Iraqi�s, to get the warring parties around the table (ALL) in a conference hosted by the UN GA.<br /> <br /> '''PHYLLIS BENNIS'''<br /> UfPJ; IPS <br /> The movement lost the struggle against the war, but won too. It won the debate,<br /> Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11. But the planning for the invasion started on the 12th. Expanding control over strategic resources is the main drive for US foreign policy. Military, economic, diplomatic. To ensure unchallenged hegemony. But what emerged as a challenge against that, was marked by the mass demonstrations in which between 12 and 15 million people all over the globe participated. The NYC then declared the end of the unilateral period, saying that there are now again two super powers: The US and Global Public Opinion. We should be proud of that, but also be aware of the legacy it entails.<br /> The situation now in the US<br /> Many people in the movements in the US were relieved that the democrats took majority in the senate. Not because Democrats will actively end the war, but they are more open to pressure from the outside. The Bush gov is increasingly isolated, which is hopeful but also creates a dangerous moment: A power in distress may very well lash out. Bush and Cheney in power are very very dangerous. <br /> About the regional question: Control of oil is a fundamental component of the US drive to war. The new law for privatisation of Iraqi oil <br /> Regional control is equally important. The bases in Iraq, but also in Bahrein, Central Asia etc.<br /> Defense of Israel, an expansionist, nuclear Israel. And no-one in congress is challenging it. <br /> Iran: An attack against Iran is not imminent, but also not impossible, despite the resistance from military at the highest level This is brought on partly by the pressure from the anti-war movements. Generals are the ones saying that expanding the war is not going to work and in addition will spark more hate against the US. To silence the call by the military to withdraw troops, Bush replaced two generals. CENTCOM is now led by an admiral, a navy man. It signifies the move towards air strikes on Iran.<br /> We need to take back pre-emptive action, we need to move pre-emptive on the potential attacks on Iran. <br /> The course for now is �to stay the course’ : 20.000 more troops with a green light to attack anyone everywhere, including Sadr City. Negroponte now calls for an �El Salvador’�option: Creating death squats, torture camps etc.<br /> Our demand should now be �No to escalation’? Yes, but not instead of the End the war, end occupations, bring the troops home and close the bases’�slogans.<br /> Rereaise the role of the 2nd superpower.<br /> <br /> '''Paola Gasparoli - UPP'''<br /> ICSO: There are lots of stories of what is happening in Iraq that do not appear in papers or on tv. During the regime there was no CSO. But soon after the invasion, hundreds of such orgs started to appear. Without experience, they managed to build a role for their constituencies. Iraq has a conscious. They realise how important it is to have a large and thriving CS. But now, how can they organise themselves. They are pushed in a corner and the violence of the US, the army and police, the militia and gangs, the criminal orgs, but still they try to manage. A lot of civil society reps have left the country, some of them were killed in Iraq. The exiles still try to work from their Diaspora with and for Iraqis. <br /> Their biggest fear is to remain isolated. Under Saddam they were, and during the war they were. And now they are still. <br /> Foreign CS�s also left when the kidnappings started to rampage. One of the remaining things we �like UPP –�to remain in contact and build common projects with Iraqi SC�s. This is still going on, but it is difficult. The US and Iraqi gov are trying from the beginning to control Iraqi SC. The hand out money (via USAID) and effectively control these orgs, using them to legitimise the occupation and puppet regime. Bremer Order 45 put Iraqi SC fully under control. <br /> We cannot leave the Iraqis alone. We, SC have to engage with them to help them restructure Iraq in the way THEY want. To help with reconciliation etc. Even when there is no solution, no way out, no hope, we still need to.<br /> There will be a sincere attempt to organise, at the end of this year, a conf with Iraqi CSOs. TO build etc.<br /> <br /> '''Ewa Jasiewicz –�Iraq Occupation Watch/Platform'''<br /> One of the central aims of the invasion of Iraq is to get control over the abundant resources of oil in Iraq. Figures. Iraq floats on a lake of oil. The lake of oil is now under a lake of blood. We have to call for a NO to privatisation of the Oil of Iraq. The third largest oil reserve, how do Shell, , Exxon BP and other oil companies get a hand on this oil: Even before the occupation, there was an interesting meeting of oil companies and others about �the future of Iraq’. The man who became later the first Iraq-under-occupation oil minister there proposed to restructure Iraqi oil industry via so-called Production Sharing Agreements (PSA).<br /> GUOE. Calling for absolutely no p<br /> PSA is used when the production possibilities for oil are uncertain. Only giant oil companies like Shell can take these risk, but in return, they get most of the benefits. In Iraq, getting the oil is not difficult. PSAs should therefore not apply to Iraq. And Iraq under occupation should not be pushed into 40 year running programmes of which the majority of benefit goes to western privately owned companies. <br /> The Hydro Carbon Law (for Iraq) was drafted by a neo-con think tank,. It was after that reviewed by the UK gov, the IMF and several other govs. But no Iraqi saw it before it was passed. It created the possibilities for PSAs. <br /> It would lose Iraqi society hundreds of billions in revenues. <br /> Contracts will be signed within a year from now. And we have to stop it. These contracts will skyrocket the Shell stocks.<br /> Shell and BP will have there own armies, that actually kill. There is a mass movement in Iraq to oppose this. And w should support it, join it. The oil companies have not yet what they came for.<br /> We should take up the demand of HANDS OF IRAQI OIL to make sure that we are indeed that 2nd super power.<br /> <br /> Other sessions on Iraq, related. <br /> <br /> Herbert summarises and bridges to discussion about proposals etc. <br /> <br /> '''Question''': <br /> Ewa, about PSAs: Now we know what is wrong. But how could Iraqis finance this themselves? <br /> How many of the elected officials are still in Baghdad?<br /> The threat on Iran: Will this be in the planning for the 17th demonstrations. How do we deal with Iran as a peace movement? (Revert to 24th!?) How do we put the issue of Nuke proliferation into this. <br /> SERGIO: to Phyllis: How do you see the regional aspect fill into the anti-war effort? <br /> Phyllis: How do we address the Somalia bombings?<br /> Al-Sadr is now so targeted because the US thinks it is pivotal to the power of Iran within Iraq. We have to see that if we talk about Iran.<br /> War against terrorism is now spread to Somalia, to the borders of Kenya.<br /> What�s true of the stories that in Iraq now sees academia targeted especially.<br /> <br /> '''Responses:''' <br /> EWA: The oil industry can redevelop Iraqi oil industry by themselves. That does not mean that they will never work with foreign corps, but this is about giving it away to foreign comps. If Iraq would borrow money from the IMF to rebuild infra, it would be able to take it back easily. (If previous debts run up by Saddam(!) are cancelled. <br /> ISMAEEL : About the representatives in parliament. Yes, most left.

It shows that you can excess control. <br /> PAOLA: Iraq is losing its intelligentsia. Universities have to close because teachers, lawyers, journalists etc. fled the country.

One of the ways to support that struggle is to take up the oil slogan in all our campaigns. This is the final straw that will brake the back of the camel. <br /> We should register our opposition to the bombing of Somalia! We as the participants of the World Social Forum should put forward a petition or statement showing our opposition to the bombings in Somalia.<br /> To defend Iraqi oil is to defend the future of Iraq. After 30 years of dictatorship, embargoes etc. This is Iraq�s potential ticket to a more prosperous and independent future. <br /> <br /> PHYLLIS on the regional question: Somalia. Oil may not have to be the main reason for the bombing of Somalia. It may be also about the access for the US to deep water ports in the region. Djibouti wants the US out, Somalia might be the new chosen host of such port. <br /> Extremist ideologies: They are the product of ideological driven actions by the US and the UK. <br /> Bring more Iraqis out to talk about what happens in Iraq. It helps to reenergise peoples involvement in the anti-war effort as well. <br /> <br /> '''FINAL REMARKS:'''<br /> EWA: HANDS OFF IRAQI OIL. Speakers, global calls, target your own oil industry. Platform will give out monthly briefing from now on. Big campaign in Iraq too.<br /> '''ISMAEEL:''' Iraq is fighting against all kinds of fundamentalism<br /> '''PAOLA:''' Saying Iraq from chaos is not enough. Try to see beyond the chaos. What is underneath. There is a political sphere, there is a (limited) space for pressure and civil society. All the conflicts in the ME are interconnected, but Iraq may be crucial. Pulling out the troops by your government is not enough. Pulling out it necessary '''but not sufficient condition for peace in a sovereign and unified Iraq.<br /> PHYLLIS:''' Feb 15 was huge triumph. It made the war illegal, next to illegitimate and immoral. And international law DOES matter. We have an obligation as the 2nd super power. Pulling out the troops is step one, but it is the first step that needs to be made.

<p>Herrada: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Sunday Jan 21, 2007<br /> NAIROBI'''<br /> <br /> '''Speakers:'''<br /> Ismaeel Daewood - <br /> Phyllis Bennis<br /> Ewa Jasiewicz<br /> Paola Gasparoli<br /> <br /> '''Mod''': Herbert Docena<br /> <br /> '''Ismaeel on Iraq now:'''<br /> The political process that had to emerge after the elections has not brought what was promised. Instead of stabilising Iraq it was all bad, negative.<br /> The process was selective. Some parties, some groups, some tribes, some .. gained political power while others were excluded. This pushed the violence between religions, groups, etc. The main goal was occupation, not rebuilding Iraq. The aim has always been to redesign Iraq to suit US foreign policy. <br /> From the onset, the occupation took a dangerous route: p.e. Focussing on a new constitution emphasising the differences between religions. Not only acknowledging that there are differences, but taking the differences as the defining starting point for a constitution. Using ethnic differences.<br /> The new gov uses the word reconciliation to push their agenda in stead of creating space for respect for differences. <br /> Linked with the regional sensitivities (religion vs religion, but also country vs country). <br /> The use of violence became the modus operandi for the Iraqi government, singularly focussing on security now, while putting human rights, and other rights in second. <br /> Reality is that people were driven into the hands of the militia, for their safety and livelihood. The history of Al-Qaeda in Iraq starts after the invasion, not before.<br /> Iraqis make a distinction between terrorists and resisters. For a long time, resisters were not aligned along sectarian lines. Now, this is more and more the case. Neighbours are, for their safety blocking roads for their neighbours now. More out of fear than out of hate. Iraqis do not believe military force can solve anything. Everybody feels that. But all Iraqis are forced to take sides on all violent issues. <br /> All promised about freedom, human rights and democracy are broken. The only solution to this conflict is the end of the war. Whatever the solution is, it starts with an end to the violence, not more violence, reconciliation: TO give the space to Iraqi�s, to get the warring parties around the table (ALL) in a conference hosted by the UN GA.<br /> <br /> '''PHYLLIS BENNIS'''<br /> UfPJ; IPS <br /> The movement lost the struggle against the war, but won too. It won the debate,<br /> Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11. But the planning for the invasion started on the 12th. Expanding control over strategic resources is the main drive for US foreign policy. Military, economic, diplomatic. To ensure unchallenged hegemony. But what emerged as a challenge against that, was marked by the mass demonstrations in which between 12 and 15 million people all over the globe participated. The NYC then declared the end of the unilateral period, saying that there are now again two super powers: The US and Global Public Opinion. We should be proud of that, but also be aware of the legacy it entails.<br /> The situation now in the US<br /> Many people in the movements in the US were relieved that the democrats took majority in the senate. Not because Democrats will actively end the war, but they are more open to pressure from the outside. The Bush gov is increasingly isolated, which is hopeful but also creates a dangerous moment: A power in distress may very well lash out. Bush and Cheney in power are very very dangerous. <br /> About the regional question: Control of oil is a fundamental component of the US drive to war. The new law for privatisation of Iraqi oil <br /> Regional control is equally important. The bases in Iraq, but also in Bahrein, Central Asia etc.<br /> Defense of Israel, an expansionist, nuclear Israel. And no-one in congress is challenging it. <br /> Iran: An attack against Iran is not imminent, but also not impossible, despite the resistance from military at the highest level This is brought on partly by the pressure from the anti-war movements. Generals are the ones saying that expanding the war is not going to work and in addition will spark more hate against the US. To silence the call by the military to withdraw troops, Bush replaced two generals. CENTCOM is now led by an admiral, a navy man. It signifies the move towards air strikes on Iran.<br /> We need to take back pre-emptive action, we need to move pre-emptive on the potential attacks on Iran. <br /> The course for now is �to stay the course’ : 20.000 more troops with a green light to attack anyone everywhere, including Sadr City. Negroponte now calls for an �El Salvador’�option: Creating death squats, torture camps etc.<br /> Our demand should now be �No to escalation’? Yes, but not instead of the End the war, end occupations, bring the troops home and close the bases’�slogans.<br /> Rereaise the role of the 2nd superpower.<br /> <br /> '''Paola Gasparoli - UPP'''<br /> ICSO: There are lots of stories of what is happening in Iraq that do not appear in papers or on tv. During the regime there was no CSO. But soon after the invasion, hundreds of such orgs started to appear. Without experience, they managed to build a role for their constituencies. Iraq has a conscious. They realise how important it is to have a large and thriving CS. But now, how can they organise themselves. They are pushed in a corner and the violence of the US, the army and police, the militia and gangs, the criminal orgs, but still they try to manage. A lot of civil society reps have left the country, some of them were killed in Iraq. The exiles still try to work from their Diaspora with and for Iraqis. <br /> Their biggest fear is to remain isolated. Under Saddam they were, and during the war they were. And now they are still. <br /> Foreign CS�s also left when the kidnappings started to rampage. One of the remaining things we �like UPP –�to remain in contact and build common projects with Iraqi SC�s. This is still going on, but it is difficult. The US and Iraqi gov are trying from the beginning to control Iraqi SC. The hand out money (via USAID) and effectively control these orgs, using them to legitimise the occupation and puppet regime. Bremer Order 45 put Iraqi SC fully under control. <br /> We cannot leave the Iraqis alone. We, SC have to engage with them to help them restructure Iraq in the way THEY want. To help with reconciliation etc. Even when there is no solution, no way out, no hope, we still need to.<br /> There will be a sincere attempt to organise, at the end of this year, a conf with Iraqi CSOs. TO build etc.<br /> <br /> '''Ewa Jasiewicz –�Iraq Occupation Watch/Platform'''<br /> One of the central aims of the invasion of Iraq is to get control over the abundant resources of oil in Iraq. Figures. Iraq floats on a lake of oil. The lake of oil is now under a lake of blood. We have to call for a NO to privatisation of the Oil of Iraq. The third largest oil reserve, how do Shell, , Exxon BP and other oil companies get a hand on this oil: Even before the occupation, there was an interesting meeting of oil companies and others about �the future of Iraq’. The man who became later the first Iraq-under-occupation oil minister there proposed to restructure Iraqi oil industry via so-called Production Sharing Agreements (PSA).<br /> GUOE. Calling for absolutely no p<br /> PSA is used when the production possibilities for oil are uncertain. Only giant oil companies like Shell can take these risk, but in return, they get most of the benefits. In Iraq, getting the oil is not difficult. PSAs should therefore not apply to Iraq. And Iraq under occupation should not be pushed into 40 year running programmes of which the majority of benefit goes to western privately owned companies. <br /> The Hydro Carbon Law (for Iraq) was drafted by a neo-con think tank,. It was after that reviewed by the UK gov, the IMF and several other govs. But no Iraqi saw it before it was passed. It created the possibilities for PSAs. <br /> It would lose Iraqi society hundreds of billions in revenues. <br /> Contracts will be signed within a year from now. And we have to stop it. These contracts will skyrocket the Shell stocks.<br /> Shell and BP will have there own armies, that actually kill. There is a mass movement in Iraq to oppose this. And w should support it, join it. The oil companies have not yet what they came for.<br /> We should take up the demand of HANDS OF IRAQI OIL to make sure that we are indeed that 2nd super power.<br /> <br /> Other sessions on Iraq, related. <br /> <br /> Herbert summarises and bridges to discussion about proposals etc. <br /> <br /> '''Question''': <br /> Ewa, about PSAs: Now we know what is wrong. But how could Iraqis finance this themselves? <br /> How many of the elected officials are still in Baghdad?<br /> The threat on Iran: Will this be in the planning for the 17th demonstrations. How do we deal with Iran as a peace movement? (Revert to 24th!?) How do we put the issue of Nuke proliferation into this. <br /> SERGIO: to Phyllis: How do you see the regional aspect fill into the anti-war effort? <br /> Phyllis: How do we address the Somalia bombings?<br /> Al-Sadr is now so targeted because the US thinks it is pivotal to the power of Iran within Iraq. We have to see that if we talk about Iran.<br /> War against terrorism is now spread to Somalia, to the borders of Kenya.<br /> What�s true of the stories that in Iraq now sees academia targeted especially.<br /> <br /> '''Responses:''' <br /> EWA: The oil industry can redevelop Iraqi oil industry by themselves. That does not mean that they will never work with foreign corps, but this is about giving it away to foreign comps. If Iraq would borrow money from the IMF to rebuild infra, it would be able to take it back easily. (If previous debts run up by Saddam(!) are cancelled. <br /> ISMAEEL : About the representatives in parliament. Yes, most left. Iraq is dangerous, and at the MPs also started to realise that there�s not really much to discuss and decide on anyway.<br /> The kidnapping: Just to have more attention, image and recognition militia kidnap.

<p>Herrada: </p> <hr /> <div>===Organizer: Ethiopian Social Forum Organising Committee===<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Discussion===<br /> Producing Farmers varieties as organic products is relatively easy as most small holders growing landrates( less than 90%) do not use fertilizers or other inorganic imputs on their anual FV Crops such as sorghum, durum, wheat, and other cereals and root crops across the country.<br /> <br /> However in recent years, multi national companies, Northern governments and irresponsible scientists and researchers have been pressuring governments in poor countries in Africa and Asia to accept Genetically Enginereed seeds and crops. Scientists and advocates of this technology forsee reduction of the crop lands,better nutritional value, and reduced use of energy, transport and pesticides. International trade agreements and food aid are the two major instruments being used to this end.<br /> <br /> Some of the reasons to say No to GMOs include:<br /> <br /> : GM crops will contaminate non GM Crops; co-existance is not possible.<br /> : GM crops are patented<br /> : GM crops will foster dependence on a corporate seed supply<br /> : GM crops will increase the use of chemicals<br /> : GM crops will usher in Terminator and Traitor technologies<br /> : GM crops threaten organic and sustainabale farming.<br /> : The bio-safety systems being advocated are unrealistic for African countries<br /> : GM crops will not reduce hhunger in Africa<br /> : GM crops will resolve problems with pests<br /> : GM crops will encourage the arbitary destruction of biodiversity.<br /> : GM crops are a threat to human health<br /> <br /> Generally GMOs present unprecedented potential risks to human health such as allergies, antibiotics resistance, risks to the environment. The co-existence of GM and NON-GM crops is impossible, raises serious ethical questions and they may have significant international implications. <br /> <br /> By all standards, GMOs are not solutions to Africa's problems and we say No to GMOs.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Nairobi WSF 2007]]<br /> [[Category:Food sovereignty, peasants and land reform]]</div>
