Cheikh Tidiane Gadio, Senegal's foreign minister, has firm opinions about most subjects and African journalism is no exception.
Gadio, a former lecturer in media studies, condemned physical assaults against journalists around the continent, particularly when government agents were the culprits.
Gadio said the row over the rebel leader was a clash between two fundamental principles -- the freedom of the press on one side and the integrity of the state on the other.

"Cheikh Anta Diop did a lot of moral rearmament work for African peoples and we are convinced that Africa is the birthplace of humanity, this places the peoples of this continent, especially the youth, on the obligatory path of the struggle for African renaissance," the minister affirmed.
Gadio explained that the objective was not to engage in condemnations but to communicate and review the intellectual and scientific heritage left behind by the eminent Egyptologist 20 years after his death as well as the impending challenges for the construction of Africa in the 21st century.
Cheikh Gadio also paid homage to past and current AU chairmen for their conviction and fight for the unity of Africa, especially Thabo Mbeki of South Africa, Moammar Kadhafi of Libya, Yoweri Museveni of Uganda as well as Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria, and others.

Gadio said the Senegalese government was "totally disatisfied" with the fact that the AU had claimed the ability to end the bloodshed, which has left up to 300,000 people dead, and did not follow through.
Rice and Gadio made their comments at the end of an economic conference here before Rice headed off for Sudan where the African Union is seeking to more than double its monitoring forces in Darfur to 7,700 by September.
