According to Mafou, out of all the street children living in Kinshasa, 74.59% are boys with the rest being girls. Orphans who have lost both parents aged between 0 and 18 years represent 25.8% of these children. About 21.78% of these children are beggars, 5.93% are street vendors while 30.98% are engaged in minor jobs.
Mafou said the children can be grouped under six categories, notably, abandoned children, orphans who have lost one or both parents, children commonly known as wizards, displaced or non-accompanied children, young street adults and street children who are offspring of the young street adults.
A global aid group, Oxfam, on Thursday called on eight of the world’s richest nations meeting in Germany next week to increase aid to Africa. In a statement issued in Nairobi, Oxfam International said with just days to go before the G8 summit in Heilingendamm, Germany, G8 leaders remain divided not just over commitments on climate change but also on whether to reiterate earlier promises made to Africa.
It said negotiations on the Africa communique were not concluded last week as planned and emergency discussions between G8 officials are being hastily scheduled for early next week. "Talks are going down to the wire and it is astounding that the G8 may not even be willing to reiterate the pledges they made in 2005 to increase aid for Africa," Max Lawson, Senior Policy Advisor at Oxfam said.
John Wainana, a resident of Banana Hill in Kiambu district, about 20km west of the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, has been living in fear for the past two months of being attacked by members of an outlawed sect, Mungiki.
"My three children and I cannot sleep in the open without any fear of being attacked or robbed although security officers are everywhere in the village," the 40-year-old father of three said.
Banana Hill is an area in central Kenya where most of the violence has pitted Mungiki members against owners of minibuses, known locally as "matatus". Mungiki members have fought with matatu owners for years over control of the lucrative bus stops. Fear has been spreading in villages throughout central Kenya, following a series of horrific murders committed by followers of the banned Mungiki sect.
It’s been a momentous week for Europe with the rejection—in two referendums in France and then the Netherlands—of the European Union’s new constitution. Many EU leaders say the process of ratification should go on until every country has had its say. Others aren’t so sure. Ten out of the twenty-five countries have already ratified the constitutional treaty, but the French and the Dutch have shocked Europe’s ruling elite. Chris Morris, in Brussels, has been watching the constitution develop since the idea was first born.
"I can remember pretty clearly the first TV interview I did from a European summit here in Brussels. It was nearly four years ago, early in the morning, with the temperature below zero, and the Atomium—one of Belgium’s most famous landmarks—looked like it was growing out of the back of my head."
An Australian town isn’t waiting for the rest of the nation to act on global warming. It has set its own ambitious targets to halve consumption of non-renewable energy.
The local surf club is often a hub for small coastal towns in Australia. Tathra, a town on New South Wales south coast, has become more than that it’s setting a green example.
The club has installed a wind turbine and solar panels to generate nearly all of its electricity. The weather matches energy consumption perfectly during the club’s busy periods.
Tony Rettke, from Tathra Surf club, said, "The season runs from the October school holidays, till just after the Easter holidays, that’s when we get the most load or use of energy, it’s perfect when we get the most sunshine in the year. In the winter months, when there’s not as many people using the club it goes back into the grid."
The new energy sources saves the club 750 US dollars a year and it will also cut the club’s carbon output by almost three times.
