Hii leo jaridani tunaangazia masuala ya afya katika ukanda wa Gaza yakiwa ni pamoja na chanjo dhidi ya polio huku mashambulizi ya Israel yakiendelea, na kuwahamisha wagonjwa majeruhi. Pia tunaangazia mchango wa wakimbizi Sudan kwa jamii, na ndoa za utotoni Zambia.Mashambulizi yakiendelea kurindima kutoka pande hasimu, jeshi la Israeli na wanamgambo wa Hamas huko Gaza, na Hezbollah huko kusini mwa Lebanon, mashirika ya Umoja wa Mataifa yameendelea na awamu ya pili ya chanjo dhidi ya Polio Ukanda wa Gaza, huku huko Lebanon ofisi ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya kuratibu misaada ya dharura ikisihi raia wasilengwe.Sodo au taulo za kike, vile vile pedi, ni muhimu kwa wanawake na      wasichana, lakini wengi hawawezi kuzipata wakati wa vita na ukimbizi. Leo tunakutana na Samer, mvulana huyu ambaye akiwa na umri wa miaka 16 tu, kwa msaada wa klabu ya usafi ya shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia Watoto UNICEF, anatengeneza na kusambaza sodo kwa wanawake na wasichana katika maeneo ya wakimbizi wa ndani jimboni Atbara, nchini Sudan.Makala inatupeleka Kaskazini mwa Gaza kwenye moja ya operesheni ngumu na hatari ya kuwahamisha wagonjwa majeruhi wa vita 16 katika hospitali ya Kamal Adwan kuwapeleka katika hospitali ya Al-Shifa mjini Gaza, wakati operesheni ya kijeshi ya Israel ikiendelea.tutaelekea Zambia kumsikia kiongozi wa jamii ya Chewa, Mashariki mwa Zambia anayeongoza mapambano dhidi ya ndoa za utotoni.Mwenyeji wako ni Anold Kayanda, karibu!

Sodo au taulo za kike, vile vile pedi,  ni muhimu kwa wanawake na  wasichana, lakini wengi hawawezi kuzipata wakati wa vita na ukimbizi. Leo tunakutana na Samer, mvulana huyu ambaye akiwa na umri wa miaka 16 tu, kwa msaada wa klabu ya  usafi ya shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia Watoto UNICEF, anatengeneza na kusambaza sodo kwa wanawake na wasichana katika maeneo ya wakimbizi wa ndani jimboni Atbara, nchini Sudan. Msaada wa kifedha kutoka  Mfuko wa dharura wa Umoja wa Mataifa CERF, vilabu vya usafi vya UNICEF, na Shirika la Marekani la misaada ya maendeleo USAID,  vijana wakimbizi wa ndani wanawezeshwa kupata suluhisho kwa changamoto za usafi wanazokutana nazo, wakati wa vita na ukimbizi. Mmoja wa vijana hawa wakimbizi ni Samer mvulana mwenye umri wa miaka 16, ambaye amefundishwa kutengeneza sodo na sasa, anazisambaza bure kwa wanawake na wasichana wakimbizi wa ndani katika jimbo la Atbara, nchini Sudan.Nikataka kujua jinsi Samer anatengeneza sodo hizo…"Nashona kati ya vipande kumi na tano hadi ishirini kwa siku. Kwanza, nakata sponji au sifongo, kisha naweka ndani ya kitambaa. Naishona na kuongeza kifungo ili kuifunga vizuri."Kwa nini Samer, katika umri wa miaka 16, anatengeneza sodo"Hiki ndicho wasichana na akina mama wanachohitaji zaidi wakati wa ukimbizi, lakini hakipatikani. Ikiwa hawatumii sodo, huenda wasiweze kusafiri au kutembea kwa uhuru. Kwa hiyo, nazitengeneza na kuwapatia bure kwa ajili yao kutumia. Kwa sababu ya vita, watu hawana pesa za kununua pedi, kwa hiyo nazitengeneza na kuzisambaza. Sodo hizi zinaweza kufuliwa na kutumika tena. Pedi nyingi ni   hutumiwa mara moja tu, na watu wanalazimika kununua mpya kila wakati."Je nini kilimpa Samer hamasa ya kutengeneza sodo, na anajisikia vipi anapoifanya kazi hii?"Nilipojiunga na warsha ya UNICEF, nilianza kusaidia familia yangu kwa kuwatengenezea sodo. Napokea vifaa kutoka  kiwanda cha UNICEF. Nilipoanza kutengeneza sodo, nilihisi furaha kujua kuwa kuna watu wanaozihitaji. Baadhi yao, hawana pesa na wanakabiliwa na changamoto. Sijihisi aibu kwa kile ninachofanya, kwa sababu kutimiza mahitaji ya watu ni muhimu zaidi kuliko kitu kingine chochote."

In a Washington Post article titled, Recent protests in Sudan are much more than bread riots, Nisrin Elamin and Zachariah Mampilly, writes “On Dec. 19 2018, the town of Atbara in northeastern Sudan erupted in protest against the military dictatorship that has ruled the country for almost three decades. People took to the streets following a tripling of bread prices to demand “freedom, peace, justice and the downfall of the regime.” But international coverage framing the protests as bread riots obscures the larger political context, misrepresents protesters' demands and supports the regime's insistence that the crisis can be resolved by simply reintroducing targeted subsidies and stabilizing the Sudanese pound.” Let's contextualize this important moment in the African world that is directly related to the long tradition of protest and resistance in the region referred to as Sudan further. According to Nisrin and Zachariah, “It is no coincidence that the protests began in Atbara, a town known for its powerful railroad workers union. Sudan has a history of successful revolutions against military regimes, most notably in 1964 and in 1985, in which trade unions and student movements played a pivotal role. But the absence of formal trade unions and independent local governing structures did not prevent people from forming alternative grass-roots structures for mobilizing against political repression. Youth movements and independent farmer and worker formations multiplied over the last decade as people lost faith in established opposition parties and politics. Most notably, from 2012 to 2014, students and the urban poor held a variety of creative protests before being repressed by the regime.With the oil-export economy emerging in the 1990s, other sectors that produced food and cash crops were left to wither away or were privatized and handed off to foreign investors or regime loyalists. All in all, the conditions that spurred the current Sudan uprisings, were proliferated and promoted by austerity measures recommended by the IMF in 2017 (known as structural adjustment programs). Today, Africa World Now Project's Mwiza Munthali discusses the uprisings in Sudan with Nisrin Elamin. Nisrin Elamin is a Sudanese writer, activist and PhD candidate in Anthropology, based in the New York City area. She has over 15 years of experience working with community-based organizations as an educator, organizer and advocate. Most recently, she served as a Director of the Sadie Nash Leadership Project's summer leadership and social justice program for young women and non-binary folks at City College. She also works part-time with the group African Communities Together, which organizes around immigrant, civil and workers' rights in New York and in Washington DC. Her research examines the ways Saudi and Emirati ‘land grabs' are reconfiguring social relations between landholding and landless communities in central Sudan. In January of 2017, she was one of the first people to be detained under the Trump administration's Muslim ban, causing her work to be interrupted. But since then, she has been able to return to Sudan to complete her research.

Nearly three decades after Omar Al Bashir came to power, the regime faced a formidable challenge posed by a fresh wave of unrest that started in the northeastern city of Atbara on December 19th of last year! On April 6th, on the anniversary of the non-violent uprising that removed the dictator Jaafar Nimeiri in 1985, the protests in Sudan reached a watershed moment. The protesters turned up the heat on the regime by camping outside of the army headquarters in Khartoum, which also houses al-Bashir's residence - calling on the army to help them oust the country’s long time dictator On Wednesday, April 11, the defense minister Awad Ibn Ouf announced that Omar al-Bashir had been ousted and arrested by the military. He added that the army would oversee a two-year transitional period followed by elections, and that a three-months state of emergency was being put in place, with a night time curfew starting immediately. Within 24 hours General Ouf announced his resignation and named General Abdel-Fattah Burhan, general inspector of the armed forces, as his successor. In a statement issued shortly after the Armed Forces televised address, the opposition call the military transitional council “a military coup” that “reproduces the same faces and institutions that the people revolted against.” it also called on the people to maintain their sit-in outside the military headquarters until power is handed to a transitional civilian group. So what’s next for Sudan? To get some clarity on the rapidly changing situation in Sudan, Shahram Aghamir spoke with Khalid Medani, an associate professor of Political Science and Islamic Studies at McGill University in Canada.

On December 19th, 2018 public discontent over rising inflation, cutbacks in bread subsidies and lack of employment over into mass protests in the city of Atbara. The protests spread like wildfire because they were not just about specific grievances but driven by a broader disgust against an oppressive and dictatorial regime. Omar Al-Bashir has been … Continue reading "“Just Fall, That is All” : Will Omar Al-Bashir Leave Power?"

[Courtesy of Voices of the Middle East and North Africa, VOMENA] Nearly three decades after Omar Al Bashir came to power, the Sudanese regime is facing a formidable challenge posed by a fresh wave of unrest, which started in the northeastern city of Atbara on December 19. Protests which first erupted over a government decision to triple the price of bread have swiftly escalated into anti-government rallies, marches and work stoppages that have rocked several cities and towns. Who are the protestors? What are their demands? What role do the civil society groups play in these protests? What has been the regime’s response to the protests? And what is the genesis of the economic crisis that the country is experiencing? Kalid Medani of McGill University tackles these and other questions.

Nearly three decades after Omar Al Bashir came to power, the Sudanese regime is facing a formidable challenge posed by a fresh wave of unrest. Popular uprisings are not new to Sudan. This most recent wave of protest over a month ago in the northeastern city of Atbara. Locals took to the streets over a government decision to triple the price of bread, protests swiftly escalated into anti-government rallies, marches and work stoppages rocking several cities and towns, with union and professional associations joining. Protestors are now demanding for Bashir to step down. According to the Guardian, the government of Omar al-Bashir in Sudan has launched an “alarming” crackdown on journalists. At least five reporters have been detained by the national intelligence security services and are being held at undisclosed locations. Dozens of others have been arrested and held before being released. According to human rights organization, more than 1000 people have been arrested and at least 40 people have been killed. This week, we continue our conversation with McGill University political scientist Professor Khalid Madani. He tells us more about the regional and international role and response to the current protests, the role of women and the future of this uprising.

Theileria lestoquardi is a tick-borne protozoan parasite and highly pathogenic for sheep. The disease caused by the pathogen is known as malignant ovine theileriosis (MOT) and is transmitted by Hyalomma ticks. Control of the disease can be achieved by immunization of sheep with attenuated T. lestoquardi schizont-infected ovine cells that provides the animal with solid immunity. The approach of using the attenuated vaccine against malignant ovine theileriosis has been carried out successfully in Iraq and Iran. Better characterization of attenuated cell lines could result in the identification of markers that would allow more rapid selection of attenuated vaccine and reduce the cost of vaccine production. Since no work has been reported regarding attenuation mechanisms in T. lestoquardi, the following study investigated potential attenuation markers of T. annulata infected cells in a T. lestoquardi cell line at different passages. Two markers associated with attenuation in T. annulata vaccine strains were analyzed, matrix metalloproteinase activity and TNF-alpha mRNA expression. Furthermore, differentially expressed genes in higher passage and lower passage were analyzed using suppression subtractive hybridization in order to identify genes whose expression correlates with subculturing and thus potentially with attenuation. The expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) in the investigated cell line was confirmed by using specific inhibitors. The results showed gradual reduction in the activity of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) with increasing passage number. Following the mRNA expression of TNF-alpha in different passages revealed down regulation of this cytokine from the low passage compared with high passage. Analysis of randomly selected clones in the suppression subtractive hybridization libraries identified nine differentially expressed genes, one from the parasite and eight from the host. Transcripts of retinoblastoma binding protein 7, Enolase-a (ENO 1), Ki-67 antigen and H2A histone from the host and vacuolar H+ATPase from the parasite were more plentiful in low passage culture. RAB14, a member of the RAS oncogene family, glucose transporter type 3, creatine kinase B, and cytochrome C oxidase transcripts from the host were more abundant in high passage culture. Quantitative real time-PCR confirmed mRNA expression of the parasite vacuolar H+ATPase to be downregulated at higher passages. The expression of the Ki-67 protein was clearly decreased with increasing passage number in western blot using specific antibody. Moreover, assessment of thymidine incorporation as a measure for the proliferation rate clearly showed that with increasing passage number, the proliferation rate of the T. lestoquardi infected cells decreases. This study revealed that the matrix metalloproteinase enzymes (9 and 2) and TNF-alpha could be potential molecular markers for identification of attenuation in the Theileria lestoquardi (Atbara) cell line. Also the down regulated parasite gene, vacuolar H+- ATPase could be considered as a molecular marker for attenuation. Immunization trials in sheep with different passages are required to provide in vivo evidence to support these findings.
