Inside Africa:

President Uhuru Kenyatta named UN Young People’s Agenda global champion

The following is a summary of the powerful and important address given by President Maduro We have been called to work on and address a vital issue that has been titled "Making the UN relevant to all", a noble and high goal.

We are sure that the 21st century will set the tone for processes of human and political liberation, for the liberation of people that will have important impacts on the future of the UN. Venezuela today comes to tell its truth (...), I bring the voice of a country that has refused to surrender throughout history to injustice and to empires.

I bring the voice of the people who have the honor of being the cradle of the great liberator Simón Bolívar.

Venezuela is a cradle and at the same time a school of republican values.

The US president of North America once attacked the noble people of Venezuela, flying the doctrine that 200 years ago founded the United States empire.

Venezuela is the victim of permanent aggression in the economic, political, diplomatic, and media aspects by those who govern the United States of North America They fly the Monroe Doctrine to justify from the ideological, political and diplomatic point of view the aggression against our beloved homeland.

Economically, Venezuela has been subjected to a series of illegal, unilateral measures of economic persecution in the last two years (...), we have been prevented from using the dollar as an international currency.

A migratory crisis that falls under its own weight has been manufactured by different means, which aims to divert the real migratory crises that exist in the world.

We do not want to talk about the seriousness of the migration crisis caused by the destruction of Libya by NATO. Yesterday we witnessed how the US president made direct threats of withdrawal of aid and of international support and aid systems for the governments and people of the world that need it.

The US president threatened the governments of the world to submit to their designs, to their orders and to collaborate with their policies in the United Nations system or they would act accordingly.

I would like to ask the United Nations system to appoint a special delegate to conduct an independent international investigation on the implications and perpetrators of the terrorist attack on August 4th in Caracas Venezuela.

Despite the immense historical, ideological, and social differences (...), despite all the differences, I would be willing to shake hands with the president of the United States, and to sit down to talk about the issues of bilateral and regional differences.

It is those who have differences in this world who have to put their good will on the table (...), said President Donald Trump who is concerned about Venezuela, I am willing to talk with an open agenda on all issues.

Venezuela is a country that advocates and commits itself to the construction of a multipolar, pluripolar and multicentric world.

There is not a single economic model, we can not allow that we want to impose a unique economic model, a single thought.

200 years ago our region was plagued by colony, 100 years ago we struggled as a people for freedom and today in the 21st century the opportunity has arrived.

Today, Venezuela is stronger than ever, we have known how to resist, we are standing and ready to continue advancing in the construction of a social model of our own, that of the socialist revolution of the 21st century, we say it to the four winds.

He trusted in the human being and the future of humanity (...), from Venezuela we say to the UN we trust in the noble ideals of the Venezuelan people that will not surrender. www.mppre.gob.ve

Venezuela takes Nelson Mandela’s legacy to promote peace

Before the attacks of the imperial powers that seek to undermine world peace and stability, the member States of the Non-Aligned Movement (Mnoal) -among them Venezuela- strengthen their anti-war stance with the aim of establishing a fair and equitable world order that is framed within the 2030 agenda for the sustainable development of nations, said the Foreign Minister of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Jorge Arreaza.

In his speech at the 73rd session of the United Nations Organization held in New York City, Arreaza referred to the legacy of Nelson Mandela as an example of a leader who fought against colonialism, racial discrimination and apartheid, which is why, he urged the effective implementation of the 2030 agenda to undertake actions in favor of the most vulnerable people, the strengthening of peace and the eradication of poverty, essential requirements for sustainable development.

“We use this opportunity to renew our commitment to the full and effective implementation of the 2030 agenda, to reaffirm our promise that no one is left

behind. We reiterate our commitment to honor the legacy of Nelson Mandela and to keep alive his principles including solidarity and selfless dedication to the service of humanity in particular in the areas of conflict resolution, interracial relations, the promotion and protection of human rights, reconciliation, gender equality, the rights of children, the struggle for democracy on an international scale and the promotion of a culture of peace throughout the world as well as in favor of the poorest and most underdeveloped communities” said the FM in his speech.

In this sence, the venezuelan diplomat called for the active participation of the international community in the implementation and promotion of a peace-making culture within the framework of the peace decade, Nelson Mandela, who assured that “peace is not simply absence of conflict, therefore we must redouble our efforts to establish on a world scale the conditions that lead to a sustained peace to genuinely promote a culture of peace through the effective approach of protracted conflicts, the root causes of terrorism and extremism, poverty in all its forms and dimensions, discrimination and xenophobia, intolerance and social injustices of all kinds”.

Finally, Arreaza indicated that Madiba’s legacy – as the South African leader was also known – is an essential part of the Bolivarian Revolution that puts the human being as an element for the construction of peace.

“Nelson Mandela, the man of solidarity, of equality, a socialist man in the best term of the word, an integral socialist who fought for peace, for the beauty of humanity”, he said. www.mppre.gob.ve

Venezuela sympathizes with Indonesia after earthquake on the island of Celebes The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela conveys its most heartfelt condolences to the Government and People of Indonesia for the human and material losses caused by an earthquake in the island of Sulawesi, northern Indonesia.

After such regrettable event, the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela expresses its deepest sympathy and hopes for the prompt recovery of the injured.

The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezula avails itself of this opportunity to reiterate its sincere brotherhood, friendship and solidarity to the Government and People of Indonesia.

Venezuela rejects interventionist attitude of the French government The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela expresses its strongest rejection to the interventionist and interfering attitude of the Government of the French Republic, by offering its support to the biased initiative of a group of governments subordinated to the United States government, which seeks to use international bodies with the purpose of attacking Venezuela and causing a change of government by force.

Iranian minister accused Trump of misbehaving on issues concerning bilateral relations

Venezuela deems as an act of flagrant hypocrisy that the French government expresses concern for the Venezuelan migration, when that country is coresponsible for dramatic and inhuman migratory flows from Africa, which they refuse to assist and receive. Attacking Venezuela with populist purposes as a mechanism to improve the discredited image of President Macron and his government is similar to the best racist style of the French extreme right.

The Iranian Foreign Minister, Mohamad Yavad Zarif, accused US President Donald Trump of not being diplomatic with issues between the two countries, during an interview broadcast on CBS. "The US is asking countries that violate international law, telling countries and companies that if they dont observe a legal behavior they will be punished (...). This is unprecedented.

The head of Iranian diplomacy also predicted that these US policies will have "a reaction." "This policy is going to have a reaction. The international community is not going to accept that someone give them orders," said Zarif, who explained that Trump is "pressing" countries to behave in an "illegal" manner.

Venezuela and France share historical, social, economic, political and cultural bonds, nurtured with respect and cooperation throughout the years. The arrogant attitude of the French government negatively impacts the good relations that both countries have had for decades. Today, Venezuelans face the consequences of a brutal unilateral blockade imposed by the United States, regrettably sponsored by the European Union.

This new show of interventionism by the French government is another aggression received from Europe to try to isolate Venezuela with the intention of aggravating the economic and social conditions of the Venezuelan People.

The minister's statements come in a context of tension between the US and Iran that has been increasing since Trump won the election in November 2016.

He also reiterated that "it is still a possibility" that his country reactivates its nuclear weapons program if the situation worsens, although it has not done so: "We have not done it," he said.

In May, Trump announced the withdrawal of the United States from the 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran and the resumption of sanctions under the pact, a decision that disappointed its allies in Europe and gave a new blow to the legacy of its predecessor, Barack Obama.

The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela urges once again the French government not to interfere in the internal affairs through the evident subordination to the strategy of Washington against Venezuela, and invites them torespect the fundamental principles of the international law and the healthy cooperation among civilized countries.

Venezuela rejects Trump’s warmongering statements

Venezuela will continue to build democracy and economic stability The Chancellor of the Republic, Jorge Arreaza, said that Venezuela will continue to build its peace and economic stability after the new sanctions issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), Treasury Department United States (USA) against officials of the Executive.

The Venezuelan government rejected today the warmongering and interventionist declarations issued by US President Donald Trump, aimed at promoting a military insurrection in Venezuela.

In a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry, the Bolivarian authorities assure that the position assumed by the US president demonstrates the policy of change of regime promoted by his government with the participation of Latin American allies. ‘These statements do not represent an isolated element, given that they appear in a context of successive threats of military intervention in Venezuela and under the increase of the US military presence in the region, tending to create a regional conflict of unsuspected proportions,’ the text specified. In that sense, Venezuela manifested its commitment to peace and regional stability.

During statements from the United Nations (UN) in New York, USA, Arreaza said that Venezuela will denounce these sanctions that “are outside international law” and obey the Monroe Doctrine - US foreign policy measure with respect to Latin American cou tries- that end up attacking the countries of the region.

Arreaza also rejected the interventionist statements of President Donald Trump against Venezuela during his participation in the 73rd session of the body. “It is an aggression against Venezuela but also against the thirty-four Latin American and Caribbean States,” said Arreaza, and in this regard; He said that through the historical anachronism the North American Government, has been withdrawing from UN agencies and international pacts.

USA continues sanctions against more Venezuelan officials

Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro rejected interventionism and recalled that his country has given birth to one of the world’s most important independence leaders Simon Bolivar who led wars against the Spanish colonialists in several countries in the region.

The government of the United States (USA) continues its aggressions against Venezuela by sanctioning four officials of the National Government, among them the first combatant and constituent, Cilia Flores and the Vice President of the Republic, Delcy Rodríguez.

The unilateral sanctions imposed by the United States Department of the Treasury also include the Minister of Defense, General in Chief, Vladimir Padrino López; and the Minister of Communication and Information, Jorge Rodríguez.

“I bring the truth of a country that has not surrendered, a historic town that resisted colonial empires in centuries past, I bring the voice of a people who have the honor of being the birthplace of the Liberator Simón Bolívar,” Maduro said addressing world leaders attending the 73rd UNGA session.

“Our nation is a country that is harassed and attacked. Yesterday, in this very place, the President of the United States of America spoke once again against the noble people of Venezuela.”

The sanctions also reached the Venezuelans José Omar Paredes and Edgar Sarría. The President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, rejected the new sanctions imposed by the US administration, which said “the think they are the owners of the world” when trying to impose economic sanctions on sovereign nations.

He also spoke of the “illegal sanctions” against his government and how the U.S. is using its currency to strangle the Venezuelan economy. “Today, the leader of the U.S. announced new actions against our country. The use of the domination of the exchange rate is illegal from the perspective of international law.” He went on to say that such conflict between his government and the U.S. administration goes beyond the current issue to a more historical confrontation between imperialism and the struggle for sovereignty.

US and NATO manipulate the media It seems important to analyze the manipulation of information, which has become a weapon of war by hiding the truth about the events that are generated in the global reality, creating a monopoly of global media, create new mechanisms political interventions, large chains like CNN, create a bubble of false news, creating a distorted view of the objective events, creating a crisis in societies on the planet, such as attacks on Syria, Iran, Russia, China, characterizing as enemies of the US and NATO.

As would be media manipulation, the so-called Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD), who put together a governing board with Deputy First Justice (PJ), Julio Borges as president, the vilest style coup Carmona 2002, but international and national media live lying, deceiving people by showing images of fascist leaders of the MUD, with the hooded murderers and terrorists to congratulate and pay, as the Venezuelan clergy with holy water, the confessed murderers, when they are detained by the authorities.

We have often written about the use of lies as an instrument of political manipulation, the same US president, Donald Trump has attacked CNN, how to create tendentious information to support the campaign for the presidency, supporting Hilare Clinton, creating a vision of fraud of the votes, also creating a mirage on manipulation by Russia of the votes, something striking and sinister, as in the popular vote Democratic candidate, swept over 2 million, but the intricacy electoral mechanism, allows the votes by state, crushing the intentions of a real democracy, with an electoral Council, without insight into the popular majority.

In the same way these media support criminal countries, such as Mexico, Colombia, Paraguay, Brazil, Peru, with thousands of murders, disappearances mass graves, with deaths of journalists, community leaders, and human rights, pear that reality goes unnoticed the US and the OAS are their allies and those supported by the media and the private press.

11 principles of Nazi propaganda created by Joseph Goebbels

It seemed important to note the perverse mechanisms of Nazi Germany, Hitler, to control social masses in times of crisis, to apply fascist and criminal models, this system was used in recent decades by so-called soft shocks or revolutions colors, but all these mechanisms of manipulation are inherited from fascism, this reality is reflected in the terrorist Goebbels.

1. principle of simplification and the only enemy. Adopt a single idea, a single symbol; Individualize your opponent on one enemy.

2. Principle of the method of transmission. Gather different opponents in a single category or individual; Opponents must become individualized sum.

3. Principle of transposition. Load on the opponent's mistakes or defects, answering the attack with the attack. "If you can not deny the bad news, invents other than distract".

4. Principle of exaggeration and disfigurement. Convert any story, however small, in serious threat.

5. Principle of popularization. "All propaganda must be popular, at least adapting its intelligent individuals to whom it is directed level. The larger the mass to convince smaller must be the mental effort required. The carrying capacity of the masses is limited and poorly understood; They also have very easy to forget. " 6. Principle orchestration. "Propaganda must be limited to a small number of ideas and repeated tirelessly, presented over and over again from different perspectives but always converging on the same concept. Seamless or doubt. " From here also comes the famous phrase: "If a lie is repeated enough, eventually becomes truth."

7. Principle of renewal. Must constantly issue new information and arguments at a rate such that when the adversary responds the audience is already interested in something else. Adversary responses to never have to counter the growing level of charges.

The new policies Trump show an attack on the nations of the world, the use of military power and its alliance with the Industrial Military Complex USA (CMI), create a new asymmetric reality, where the interventionist policy, has created new conflicts in the world example of this is the crisis in the kingdom of Qatar, accused of supporting terrorism, is accused by Saudi Arabia, which really is a nation that finances terrorism on a large scale, from the story of Ben Laden, financed by his family and princes. In the same way this consortium of Arab sheikhs, has the support of Zionist Israel, which seeks to destabilize Syria, Iran, to Russia, with support for terrorism and systematic Palestinian attacks and threatening the region's countries in the Middle East in addition to violent actions in the world.

Private media act of the terrorism

Reality is not just demonize Russia, China, Iran, Syria, North Korea, also applies in handling the Congresses of Latin American countries, using parliament to topple presidents, or covering up corruption from various nations of the Continent .

The images of CNN, Reuter, Globo vision in Venezuela, O Globo of Brazil, UPI, Agence France-Presse (AFP), and several European nations, assembled a dossier of lies, create the image of a dictatorship in Venezuela, as assaulting Bolivia, Cuba, Nicaragua, among others using an interventionist dynamic.

The same defeat in the OAS and UN US and the countries of Latin American right and Caribbean, could not sanction the Bolivarian government of Nicolas Maduro, not have the votes to the so-called Democratic Charter, which was aimed at military aggression US all international private means betting on the exit violence Chavez.

8. Principle of verisimilitude. Construct arguments from various sources, through balloons called probes or fragmentary information.

9. Principle of silence. Silence on issues which do not have arguments and hide the news that favor the adversary, also contraprogramando with the help of related media.

10. Principle transfusion. Propaganda generally always operates from a pre-existing substrate, either a national mythology or complex traditional hatreds and prejudices; It is spread arguments that can take root in primitive attitudes.

11. Principle of unanimity. Get to convince many people that think "like everyone else", creating impression of unanimity.

been part of washing minds, a sector of the middle class, who assumed the criminal violence such as Chile, with the Condor Plan , Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, Peru, who brainwashed the medieras class who aspire to the bourgeoisie, but hate the Indians, African descendants, as fighters left.

To achieve this objective using the means of capitalist press, to alienate and idiotizar young to kill brutally, a citizen workers, has elders, motorized, burning buses, food trucks, destroying subway stations, this is real, but the press looks laid at the door Chavismo, but the lie eventually have short legs and really takes to appear but only popular unity and solidarity Latin American governments may face a fourth generation war without rules conventional and part of international terrorism.

Seem something simple and without much content, but these are mechanisms of mass manipulation, Latin America has

INSIDE AFRICA:

President Uhuru Kenyatta named UN Young People’s Agenda global champion In his acceptance speech as the global champion of the youth agenda, President Kenyatta said progress for the youth means progress for the entire humanity.

“We do not champion the cause of youth opportunity and hope as a favour, but rather as the necessary, undeniable, embrace of our collective future,” he said.

The President applauded the UNICEF leadership in defining an ambitious agenda which he said was equal to the urgency of the moment.

“We must give young people education, and employment opportunities if our societies are to live up to their full promise,” the Head of State added.

Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta joined other world leaders Monday during the launch of a global partnership through which the UN seeks to get every young person into quality education, training or employment by 2030.

The new initiative, a partnership between the United Nations Youth Strategy 2030 and Generation Unlimited, aims at catalysing pro-youth actions to address the dreams, ambitions and hopes of 1.8 billion young people globally.

The new initiative, under the aegis of the United Nations children’s Fund (UNICEF) was launched at the Trusteeship Chambers , UN Headquarters, New York, on the sidelines of the 73rd United Nations General Assembly.

President Uhuru, who was accompanied by First Lady Margaret Kenyatta at the launch, was unanimously endorsed as the global Champion of the Young People’s Agenda – a positions he graciously accepted.

Speakers at the launch, who included UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, were optimistic the new partnership will tackle the global education and training crisis currently holding back millions of young people and threatening progress and stability.

The leaders said without urgent investment in education and skills training, the rapidly growing global population of adolescents and young people, expected to reach 2 billion by 2030, will continue to be unprepared and unskilled for the future workforce.

The global leaders were in agreement that there can never be peace and stability in respective countries if the interests of the youth were not urgently addressed.

Kenya, Rwanda and Ghana, which were represented by their respective Heads of State, were the first countries in Africa to embrace the new partnership.

The President promised the youth of his full support as he champions their cause but cautioned that the youth must also seize the occasion and shoulder responsibilities to move the world forward.

“On your part, embrace your chance to lead by seizing opportunity and turning it into tangible achievement. You must stand up, offer yourselves, dedicate yourselves, shoulder responsibility, and carry the world into the future,” he told the youth who were adequately represented at the launch.

Uhuru enumerated the various pro-active interventions Kenya has put in place for youth empowerment including the policy that targets 30 per cent of all government procurement that is awarded to the youth, women and the disabled.

He also cited access to concessional loans, technical and vocational skills training , volunteer programs, government internships and apprenticeship programmes.

Under the new initiative, Generation Unlimited will complement and build on existing programmes that support adolescents and young people.

The partnership platform will focus on three key areas: secondary education; skills for learning, employability and decent work; and empowerment.

Other Speakers included Presidents Paul Kagame (Rwanda), His Ghanian Counterpart Nana Akufo Addo, World Bank President Jim Yong Kim, UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore and United Nations Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth Jayathma Wickramanayake. www.citizensdailyupdates.com The opinions expressed in these articles are of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official position of the Embassy
