 Being Liberal (by Samah Jabr) - Media Monitors Network
A few months ago, I wouldn’t have thought that the term “liberal” was open to everyone and everything, but it’s like many other noble terms that have been abused until they lose their true meanings.
Think of bombing Afghanistan to “liberate their women;” the sanctions that strangle the people of Iraq “to dismantle the Iraqi dictatorship;” the occupation of Palestine “to compensate the Jews for the horrors of the Holocaust;”...the examples are endless and so is the human pain.
To me, the liberals are those who feel that their privileges are keys to greater responsibilities; they are those who are pro-active, not re-active in their advocacy of freedom for all.

 Third World Network Africa - TWN Africa
It echoes the prevailing analysis of Africa’s situation among IFIs, by repeating that the “historical impoverishment of Africa [is] due to weak states, dysfunctional economies, which were further aggravated by poor leadership, corruption and bad governance”.
In the absence of a critical analysis of the process of gobalisation and the root causes of Africa’s marginalisation in the global economy, the pledge for the creation of “fair and just conditions in which Africa can participate effectively in the global economy and body politic”; appears to be mainly a diplomatic exercise.
With regards to financial systems, the outcomes of financial liberalization policies in Africa clearly demonstrate that the market-based mechanisms, which were imposed by IFIs and supposed to allow a more varied and efficient intermediation between supply and demand, have not been able to address the needs of poor, small producers, especially women.

 FAIR in the News
The broadcast network news organizations are covering Africa, albeit “scantily,” and a “disproportionate” percentage of that coverage revolves around celebrities, with little information about the continent or the people who live there, according to a study by the media monitoring organization, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR).
Monitoring news coverage of Africa in 2005 and 2006, FAIR made two discoveries: The networks rarely do stories about the continent (unfortunate, though not exactly surprising) and when they do, it's usually because a Hollywood celebrity is involved.
Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, the liberal media watch group, has a devastating piece out on the anniversary with all the pundits who not only, you know, were cheerleaders, but attacked the patriotism of anybody who opposed this.

And the more determined governments in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean are resisting being steam-rolled into accepting the aims and agenda of the major powers.
Such concerted peoples actions are particularly important in Africa, as the area of the world most negatively affected by the imposition of the neo-liberal global system, and most threatened by the further expansion of the coverage of the WTO and the uncontrolled power of the transnational corporations.
And such counter-actions are particularly important in Africa in order to bring popular influences and pressures to bear on governments to defend the interests and needs of the people of Africa and not to surrender to the pressures and propaganda persuasions of the major powers being exerted upon them.
