WASHINGTON, Mar 2 2006 (IPS) – Declines in rainfall caused by global warming threaten rivers and other local sources of fresh water in densely populated areas of Africa, according to a new study published here by Science magazine Friday.
Some of these areas, particularly in southern Africa, already suffer periodic droughts, so further declines in rainfall could have devastating implications for people who depend on local water supplies, according to the two authors, Maarten de Wit and Jacek Stankiewicz of the Africa Earth Observatory Network (AEON) at the University of Capetown.
Other particularly vulnerable areas include a narrow band of territory that stretches from Senegal eastward to Sudan and crosses several important water bodies that supply populations…

HAVANA, Jan 25 2011 (IPS) – The trial of staff at the Havana Psychiatric Hospital for the deaths of 26 patients who died of cold and neglect revealed a dark chapter in an institution that was once a shining symbol of Cuba s much lauded health care system, and drew reactions of shock and criticism.
Cuba s main newspaper, Granma, broke the silence Monday surrounding the case, which occurred just over a year ago. The paper reported that prosecutors are seeking prison terms of six to 14 years for an unspecified number of administrators and staff, who were on trial from Jan. 17 to 22.
They were charged with abandonment and neglect of minors, disabled and ill people, and with embezzlement.
The sentences are expected to be handed down in the next few d…
BELGRADE, Jan 19 2012 (IPS) – According to an old Serbian fairy tale, God tells a poor man who enters a gold mine that no matter what he chooses to do inside, he ll be sorry when he leaves. If he takes some gold, he ll be sorry for not taking more; if he doesn t, he ll be sorry for not taking any at all.
Modern Serbia now finds itself in a similar situation to the hero of that ancient tale.
Experts have revealed that parts of South-eastern Serbia lie on two billion tons of oil shale that could be processed into oil worth roughly 60 billion dollars in the next decade.
Further, the introduction and implementation of sufficient technology to turn the crude into derivates could reap between 120 and 180 billion dollars, according to studies by several domestic and intern…

WASHINGTON, Jun 20 2013 (IPS) – The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday overturned a decade-long practise under which the government linked global HIV/AIDS funding to a controversial requirement that organisations explicitly state their opposition to prostitution.

We are surprised but very happy to he…

NAIROBI, May 19 2014 (IPS) – As Africa scales up lifesaving antiretroviral therapy for HIV positive people, concerns are rife that the absence of mass routine viral load testing will hamper extending treatment to the millions who need it.

NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 6 2023 (IPS) – While 100 million people worldwide are using the AI chatbot ChatGPT to get ahead on homework and try at Google, in developing countries lack the services of a simple cell phone.
