Synopsis
What really happens around our senator when his wife is not around? We all know Michael, the senator, a person of high integrity and an ambassador of morality and humanity.

But there is this journalist who believes we are getting the whole picture wrong, and is out to do whatever it takes to pin down the senator on immorality grounds.

Activities revolve on this night that the senator is sure his wife is not around. But his wife’s trip is cut short, and the journalist claims to possess compelling information.

To settle our integrity assumption, come and witness what the senator has to go through to make his wife and the media understand the presence of some representatives, a scantily dressed call girl and his “incompetent” secretary at his house.

A Counter History of the Internets from david murphy on Vimeo.

A look at the emergence of Internet freedom defense movements that have sprung up in reaction to growing regulation of the Web by governments and multinationals.Internet was created by hippies while being funded by the military! This improbable culture shock gave birth to an area of freedom that was impossible to censor or control. Yet for years, that is precisely what a certain number of political leaders have sought to do, prompting hackers and defenders of freedom to enter the political arena

API Policy Forum: Which way Transitional Justice in Africa – Restoration or Retribution? Nov. 7 2013 @ Laico Regency

by with No Comment debateevents

API
The Africa Policy Institute (API) wishes to invite you to a Policy Forum on Africa’s experience with transitional justice that will take place on Thursday, 7th November 2013 between 0830-1230 hrs at The Laico Regency Hotel, Nairobi.

Two developments have drawn approaches to transitional justice in Kenya into sharp focus. First is the release in May 2013 of the report by the Kenyan Truth Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC); second is the on-going stand-off between the African Union and the International Criminal Court over what is viewed as a retributive approach likely to expose African states to further insecurity in Africa.

The main aim of this and subsequent forums is to provide a forum for robust intellectual and policy debate on transitional justice with the hope of developing a clear and home grown roadmap for tackling past injustices while reconciling, stabilizing and healing victims, communities and societies affected by conflict and consolidating democratic governance.

These high-level policy forums bring together high-ranking governmental experts, practitioners and thinkers on transitional justice in think-tanks, academy, media and civil society.

Please call API with any questions or comments you may have about this event at +254 202 014 260 or email: nairobi@africapi.org to confirm participation.
