08 October 2012. El Daein: Umsalama Musa Usman, the manager of the center of midwives of El Daein, East Darfur, is pictured in one of the classrooms of the center.
The center is also the only school for midwives in the state. According to the responsibles of this center, East Darfur urgently needs 150 new midwives to be deployed in many villages without professionals to assist the deliveries. In those villages, women have to deliver the babies without good health conditions.
The school just graduated the last new 50 midwives, but the center needs funds to start a new course and to host the students for one year.

25 July 2012. Gereida: A young boy goes back home with his family after all day farming the land outside Gereida (South Darfur) during the rainy season. Women, children and elder people living in camps usually farm the surrounding lands and let men work in further areas in order to avoid robberies, rapes and other perpetrations.
The area is controlled by the Government of Sudan forces. In May, the rebel movement occupied Gereida for 24 hours after a big clash that destroyed the telecommunications of the city and several buildings.
UNAMID has deployed a battalion from Ethiopia (more than 800 soldiers) that assures the protection of civilians.

Edifici industrial amb una superfície total de 2.610 m2 (1.892 m2 d'ús), amb dues naus centrals flanquejades per altres dues de major llargada (corresponents a diverses fases, constituint una estructura d'U"), definint un gran pati al seu davant. L'aparell constructiu és de maó, amb obertures culminades amb arcs rebaixats, i culminació ondulada de les façanes, tot reproduint l'estil constructiu fabril britànic propi del S. XIX. La coberta de les diverses naus és resolta a doble vessant.
Observacions: L'espai de la fàbrica, adquirida per l'Ajuntament de Masquefa, inclou actualment una aula informàtica, el Punt d'Informació Juvenil i provisionalment el Fons Fotogràfic Municipal. Tanmateix, hi ha el projecte d'instal·lar-hi en un futur la biblioteca de la xarxa de la diputació, una sala polivalent, un casal entitats, joves i esplai, l'arxiu històric i una sala d'exposicions.
Creada el 1920 (tot i que l'empresa era instal·lada a la població des del 1892) i originalment dedicada a la fabricació de sivelles de cinturó, la fàbrica ha estat un dels principals motors econòmics de Masquefa al llarg del S. XX. Durant la Guerra Civil la seva producció fou substituïda per la de projectils per al bàndol republicà. Aquest fet provocà l'atac aeri franquista del 22 de gener de 1939, en que es llençaren dues bombes amb la fàbrica com a objectiu, tot i que n'erraren el blanc.

Descripció:
La fàbrica Rogelio Rojo està situada entre els carrers Rogelio Rojo, Fàbrica, Santa Clara i avinguda Catalunya. Es tracta d'un conjunt arquitectònic d'ús industrial construït en èpoques diferents: any 1917, anys 30, anys 50, anys 60 i any 1973. El volum principal del conjunt té forma d'U, està format per dos naus de planta baixa i una nau de planta baixa i primera planta. A més hi ha una sèrie d'edificacions annexes que s'han anat afegint al llarg del temps. L'espai interior és diàfan i de grans dimensions, gràcies als grans finestrals i a la coberta en forma de dent de serra. L'estructura vertical és de pilars d'acer i parets de càrrega d'obra vista a base de maó massís. La coberta és de teula àrab sobre solera de ceràmica que es recolza sobre encavallades de fusta i metàl·liques (en substitució de les de fusta originals). La nau principal i la les altres dues estan unides ja que les parets laterals han estat substituïdes per jàsseres metàl·liques amb un pilar d'obra (fàbrica de maó massís) al mig. Els fonaments són murs correguts de maçoneria de pedra de 60 cm d'amplada. La coberta de la nau llarga és de teula ceràmica sobre encadellat ceràmic. Els paviments són de formigó i presenten certs desnivells i algunes reparacions. A l'interior hi ha unes divisions a total alçada amb parets de maó amb pilarets de reforç. El conjunt industrial ocupa un solar de 9.752 m2 dels quals 4.675 són de construccions.
Notícies històriques:
En el període de la primera Guerra Mundial (1914-1918) es produeix un augment de demanda per part dels països contendents que anima el desenvolupament de la industria dedicada al sector tèxtil i metal·lúrgic. En aquest moment la família Rojo va iniciar la fabricació de complements per les peces de roba que confeccionaven ells mateixos. Finalment varen optar per fabricar únicament fornitures metàl·liques com sivelles, botons i agulles i també plaques per a les ampolles de cava. Després de la Guerra les exportacions catalanes van patir una davallada. La crisi es tradueix en atur dels treballadors i es produeixen conflictes socials. L'empresa Rogelio Rojo instal·la la seva nova fàbrica a Masquefa, lluny de la conflictivitat de les àrees urbanes. L'arquitecte encarregat del projecte fou Josep Donés i Torres. El ritme de producció dels primers anys era estable, la balança entre les importacions i exportacions era favorable, els salaris eren baixos i la plantilla estava majoritàriament per dones. L'any 1936 amb l'esclat de la Guerra Civil la producció no es va alterar. L'any 1937 en contacte amb la Comissió d'indústries de Guerra per la Generalitat de Catalunya, es comencen a fabricar projectils per l'exercit republicà i també es construeix un nou edifici. El 22 de gener de 1939 Masquefa va ser bombardejada per l'aviació italiana. L'època des post guerra van ser uns moments difícils i la fàbrica es va convertir en un referent econòmic i un element socialitzador pel municipi de Masquefa. Durant la dècada de 1970 es construeix un nou edifici de dues plantes preparat pel procés productiu del galvanitzat. A finals dels anys 80 les instal·lacions de la fàbrica van quedar obsoletes i ja no podia competir en el mercat. La fàbrica va tancar al tombant del segle XX. Aquesta fàbrica ha desenvolupat activitats relacionades amb la metal·lúrgia. La darrera empresa va plegar l'any 2002.

28 August 2012. Kutum: Community leader Hadiya Ibrahim Issa inspects the destruction of the clinic run by the NGO Goal in Kassab camp for Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) that was looted by armed militias.
Several weeks ago, all the IDPs left the camp due to the attacks of armed militias who also destroyed the clinic. This clinic is still out of service because all the equipment was looted by the attackers.
The IDPs started to come back to the camp recently and the authorities opened a provisional clinic, located in an old shelter, that assists between 300 and 400 people everyday with not enough personnel (only 3 medical assistants) and medicines.
The series of incidents began on 1 August when the Commissioner of the district of Alwaha, in Kutum town, and his driver were shot dead and his vehicle was carjacked by three unknown armed men. Later in the day, the official’s vehicle was recovered by Government of Sudan security agents 2 kilometres from the Kassab internally displaced persons (IDP) camp.
Subsequently, on the same day armed men surrounded Kassab, looted the market, burnt down the Sudanese Police post in the camp and reportedly killed four persons (three civilians and one police officer) and injured six others.
Similar events leading to the deterioration in the security and humanitarian situation occurred the following days in and around Kutum town, Kassab and Fataborno IDP camps, including fighting between the armed elements and Government Forces, as well as looting and displacement of civilians.

08 October 2012. El Daein: A woman prepares an injection for the vaccination campaign against the meningitis at the community center in Al Neem camp for Internally Displaced People in El Daein, East Darfur.
A massive vaccination campaign, organized by the Governement of Sudan and the World Health Organization (WHO) against meningococcal A meningitis started this month targeting 16.9 million children and adults, ranging from 1 to 29 years, in all Darfur states, Blue Nile, Khartoum, Gezira, Sennar and Gedaref. The rest of Sudan will be vaccinated during the first quarter of 2013.
The vaccine protects children as young as one year of age and young adults, and confers immunity that may last a decade. It reduces transmission and contributes to herd immunity, meaning that even people who were not vaccinated receive some protection.
WHO estimates that the vaccine is expected to reduce cases of meningitis A between 80% and 85%, and this is valid for Sudan as well, and will save nearly 150 000 young lives in the Meningitis belt countries by 2015.

Estatua a Pau Casals.
Pau Casals i Defilló (El Vendrell, Catalunya 1876 - San Juan, Puerto Rico 1973) fou un violoncel·lista, pedagog, director i compositor musical català. La seva gran contribució al món de la música va ser la innovació en la interpretació amb el violoncel que, més tard, va ser adoptada per tots els violoncel·listes del món.
La seva interpretació d'El cant dels ocells ha esdevingut un símbol de pau i llibertat arreu del món, i de manera molt més significativa dins l'àmbit català.
El 1958 va fer un concert i el "missatge de pau" que Pau Casals havia gravat uns dies abans a Ginebra fou retransmès a més de 40 països. També aquell any fou proposat com a candidat pel Premi Nobel de la Pau.
El 1961 va ser convidat pel president John F. Kennedy a fer un concert a la Casa Blanca i, dos anys més tard, el mateix president dels Estats Units, li concedí la Medalla de la Llibertat.
El 1971 va compondre l'Himne a les Nacions Unides, que dirigí el 24 d'octubre d'aquell any en un concert a la mateixa seu de les Nacions Unides, i on el secretari General de les Nacions Unides U Thant li entregà la Medalla de la Pau. Fou en aquesta ocasió que va pronunciar la frase "What is more, I am a Catalan." explicant que Catalunya tenia un parlament democratic molt abans que Anglaterra.
El 1973 va patir un atac de cor irreversible, a Puerto Rico. Va morir a San Juan de Puerto Rico el 22 d'octubre de 1973. L'any 1979 es van traslladar les seves despulles al cementiri del Vendrell, moment en el qual li fou concedida, a títol pòstum, la Medalla d'Or de la Generalitat de Catalunya.
-------
Pau Casals i Defilló (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈpaw kəˈzaɫs]) (December 29, 1876 – October 22, 1973), known during his professional career as Pablo Casals, was a Spanish Catalan cellist and conductor. He made many recordings throughout his career, of solo, chamber, and orchestral music, also as conductor, but Casals is perhaps best remembered for the recording of the Bach Cello Suites he made from 1936 to 1939.
Casals was an ardent supporter of the Spanish Republican government. After its defeat in 1939, Casals vowed not to return to Spain until democracy had been restored, although he did not live to see the end of the Franco dictatorial regime.
One of his last compositions was the "Hymn of the United Nations". He conducted its first performance in a special concert at the United Nations on October 24, 1971, two months before his 95th birthday. On that day, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, U Thant awarded Pau Casals the U.N. Peace Medal in recognition of his stance for peace, justice and freedom. Casals accepted the medal and made his famous "I am a Catalan" speech, where he explained that Catalonia had the first democratic parliament, long before England did.
He also made popular the old Catalan song, "El cant dels ocells" playing it at the UN.

Pau Carles Salvador Casals i Defilló (El Vendrell, 29 de diciembre de 1876 - San Juan de Puerto Rico, 22 de octubre de 1973), más conocido como Pau Casals, y también como Pablo Casals en Latinoamérica y el mundo anglosajón, es unos de los músicos catalanes mas destacados del siglo XX. Por su incomparable desempeño como instrumentista del violonchelo, Casals es considerado uno de los mejores violonchelistas de todos los tiempos.
Una de sus composiciones más célebres es el "Himno de las Naciones Unidas", conocido como el "Himno de la Paz", compuesto mientras residía en su segunda patria, Puerto Rico (donde había nacido y se había criado su madre), y donde residían otros españoles renombrados internacionalmente, tales como Juan Ramón Jiménez y Francisco Ayala. Magnífico director de orquesta y notabilísimo compositor, Casals fue siempre un artista completísimo, con la más férrea disciplina y la dedicación más profunda a la música.
Además de reconocérselo por su imponente obra musical, Pau Casals destacó en todo el mundo por su activismo en la defensa de la paz, la democracia, la libertad y los derechos humanos, que le valieron prestigiosas condecoraciones como la Medalla de la Paz de la ONU y ser nominado al Premio Nobel de la Paz.
Fue en la ONU donde Casal dijo al aceptar la medalla "I am a Catalan"" (Soy un Catalán) donde explico que Catalunya tenia el primer parlamento democratico, mucho antes que Inglaterra.
Casals también manifestó públicamente su oposición al régimen franquista y su deseo de ver una Cataluña no necesariamente independiente pero con un grado alto de autonomía (vid. cap. V de sus memorias, dictadas originariamente en francés a Albert E. Kahn y traducidas al catalán como Joia i Tristor).
Pau Casals murió el 22 de octubre de 1973, a la edad de 96 años, en San Juan de Puerto Rico, a consecuencia de un ataque al corazón. Fue enterrado en el Cementerio Conmemorativo de San Juan de Puerto Rico.
El 9 de noviembre de 1979, restablecida la democracia en España, sus restos fueron trasladados al cementerio de El Vendrell, su población natal, donde actualmente descansan.
Popularizó la antigua canción catalana "El cant dels ocells" tocándola en la sede de la ONU;
