Credible institutions remain a distant prospect as the NTC, militias and others compete for authority.
Three months have passed since liberation was officially declared but no functioning government is in sight or even on the horizon. The oil sector is the only operational administration. Elections for a constitutional assembly – even in June – appear unrealistic. There is no up-to-date census, let alone electoral register, and voting procedures are not fixed. A census could take three months at least. After that, the assembly should write the new constitution and give a new executive democratic legitimacy. Until then, the National Transitional Council, led by former Justice Minister Mustafa Mohamed Abdel Jalil, is still in charge, although its authority is constantly under strong challenge amid accusations of failing to provide vision and leadership.

Alta tensão entre os Sudões
Few outside the Juba government had expected it to start shutting down oil production on 22 January. Warnings from the Government of South Sudan had been widely seen as brinkmanship. The National Congress Party (NCP), plus African Union, Chinese and Western mediators, had apparently forgotten the capacity for decisiveness of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM), which helped it to win Independence for the South. The talks should resume on 10 February but no one expects speedy agreement. This was clear when the AU representative, South African ex-President Thabo Mbeki, announced on 31 January that they would cover several outstanding issues from the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement since ‘the interim transitional period ends at the end of March’. This broadening of the agenda is a tactical victory for the GOSS, which for the first time has the NCP literally over a barrel.
This is costing Khartoum dear but it also knows that Juba loses 98% of revenue, with no clear alternative. The NCP’s strength is military and it is beating the war drums. Second Vice-President El Haj Adam Yusuf said on 25 January that the army had surrounded SPLM-North rebels in Blue Nile and South Kordofan and ‘Juba is not far’. Until November, he was senior in Hassan Abdullah el Turabi’s Popular Congress Party and the NCP accused him of conspiracy in 2007. His threat has hardened Southern resolve and highlights the chasm between the two governments.

Israel tem de se moderar perante o Irão
By AFP
OCCUPIED JERUSALEM
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned his officials to stop “blabbing” about the possibility of an attack targeting Iran's nuclear program, the newspaper Maariv reported on Monday.
Netanyahu is said to have directed the instruction at a number of military officials and government ministers who he believes have been speaking too freely about a potential Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities.
The newspaper, citing unnamed senior officials, said Netanyahu delivered the warning during a meeting with ministers from his Likud party on Sunday.
“Stop blabbing, already,” he reportedly told the officials. “This chit-chat causes huge damage, puts Israel on the front line, and damages sanctions” imposed by the United States and Europe on Iran, the premier reportedly said.
Maariv’s sources said there was concern that Israel “might be perceived as dragging the U.S. into a war with Iran against its will and endangering the U.S.’s national interests.”
The warning came after several statements by senior Israeli military and political officials last week, including Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe Yaalon, who suggested that all Iran's nuclear sites were vulnerable to attack.
“In my military experience, any site protected by humans can be penetrated by humans,” he said during the annual Herzliya security conference. “At the end of the day all their sites can be hit.”
Speculation has risen in recent weeks, driven in part by comments made by Israeli officials, about the possibility of an Israeli attack on Iran.
Israel and much of the international community believes that Iran’s nuclear program masks a covert weapons drive, a charge Tehran denies.
Israel, widely believed to be the Middle East’s only, albeit undeclared, nuclear power, has supported tough sanctions against Iran, but also insisted it retains the option of a military strike to halt its nuclear activities.
On Sunday, U.S. President Barack Obama appeared to try to dampen speculation about such an attack, which reports suggest Washington would oppose.

Cenas de terror na Líbia
Libya's former ambassador to France under Muammar Gaddafi has died less than 24 hours after being detained by an armed group in Tripoli, a rights organisation has said.
Omar Brebesh, who served in the Paris embassy as cultural attache from 2004 to 2008, and then as acting ambassador, was detained on January 19 and appears to have died from torture, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on Friday.
A preliminary autopsy report obtained by the organisation, and photographs provided by Brebesh's family, showed that the cause of death was "multiple bodily injuries and fractured ribs" and that his body was marked by welts, cuts and the apparent removal of toenails.
On January 19, Brebesh turned himself in to the al-Shohada Ashura, or Ashura Martyrs, after being called for questioning by the militia's commander, Khalid al-Blehzi, Brebesh's son Ziad said.
The next day, the family was told that Brebesh's body could be found in a mortuary in the mountain town of Zintan, about 100km southwest of the capital.
The Ashura Martyrs come from Zintan, and a prosecutor there has opened an investigation into Brebesh's death, Human Rights Watch said.
HRW also read a report by the judicial police in Tripoli, which said that Brebesh had died from torture and that an unnamed suspect had confessed to killing him.
Brebesh's son recovered his father's body in Zintan.
"I saw his face. There was blood on his nose and mouth. But I didn’t see the rest of his body or his face from the other side," he told HRW.
"There was a bump on his forehead. After that, I kissed him and that was it."
Thousands detained
Brebesh's death was one of the highest profile killings of a former government official since rebels captured and killed Gaddafi, the ousted longtime leader, in late October.
Others have been arrested or fled the country: Gaddafi son Saadi is in Niger, while his more prominent scion, Saif, was captured and is being held by militias in Zintan who have refused to give him up to the interim National Transitional Council (NTC).
The report into Brebesh's apparent torture and killing comes days after Doctors Without Borders announced it was suspending its work in Misrata detention centres because militias there were torturing detainees while asking the doctors for medical assistance.
According to the International Committee of the Red Cross, Libya has about 8,500 detainees in roughly 60 facilities, few of which come under centralised NTC control.

Assad aguenta-se por mais algum tempo
Diplomats at the UN Security Council have watered down a resolution on Syria in an apparent attempt to overcome Russian objections to an earlier draft.
The new text drops explicit reference to a call for President Bashar al-Assad to hand over power, a key part of an Arab League plan.
The Russians have argued that this demand would impose regime change.
However the new text still supports what it calls the League's "decision" to facilitate political transition.
Western diplomats say this means that while the draft no longer mentions the details of the Arab plan, it still clearly backs the substance.
The revised draft - seen by the BBC - also removes a paragraph calling on member states to act to prevent the flow of arms into Syria. This was another clause opposed by Russia even though it does not impose an arms embargo.
Ambassadors began intense negotiations on Wednesday, after a high-level meeting urging the council to back the Arab plan to end the Syrian crisis.
Diplomatic sources say Western states may support the new text - drawn up by Morocco - if it gets a yes vote from Russia, rather than an abstention, according to the BBC's Barbara Plett at the UN headquarters in New York.
So far the Russians have been non-committal, she says.
'Consensus'
Human rights groups and activists say more than 7,000 people have been killed by Syrian security forces since the uprising began in March.
On Wednesday, diplomats said discussions had been positive, with US Ambassador Susan Rice saying talks had been conducted in a "constructive and roll-up-your-sleeves manner".
The Arab League suspended its monitoring mission last month after it failed to stop the violence
However, she also admitted that the call for Mr Assad to delegate powers to his deputy remained "one of the more difficult issues".
Russian ambassador Vitaly Churkin also said progress had been made, saying: "I think we have a much better understanding of what we need to do to reach consensus."

A Comissão da desUnião Africana
The much anticipated election showdown for the chairmanship of the African Union Commission, (secretariat of the Union), dubbed "David versus Goliath", did not turn out to end in the same way as that Biblical encounter had ended. Instead, it ended in a deadlock, with both gladiators barely able to land the knock-out punch. The election was between the incumbent chairperson, Dr. Jean Ping, and another formidable opponent, Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, a physician by professional with considerable political activism in the last more than 30 years. It pitted two countries, each with considerable wealth, Gabon verus South Africa - Gabon with oil wealth against South Africa, the economic colossus of Africa.
After African heads of state appointed the Chairman of the African Union, Benin's President Thomas Yayi Boni, on Sunday, 29th January, at their new swanky headquarters financed and built with funds estimated at $200 million from China as well as Chinese labor, they turned to the thornier task of electing the most powerful administrative officer of the African Union - the chairperson of the African Union Commission. The election itself engendered firsts: the first time a sitting chairperson or secretary-general as the post was known in the earlier era of the Organization of African Union; the first time a southern African was contesting the post, and finally the first time a female was a candidate for the post.
The chairmanship of the African Union itself had generated controversies in Nigeria, with the press speculating that Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan being defeated by the Beninois President. According to a media release from Jonathan's office, "1. It is not true that President Yayi Boni “defeated” President Goodluck Jonathan in an election; there was no contest in the first place and President Jonathan was not a candidate for the AU Chairmanship position.
2. It is also not true that President John Atta Mills opposed President Jonathan at any time. Ghana and Nigeria enjoy excellent relations.
3. It is true, however, that in the last week, some newspapers have been speculating that President Jonathan may be adopted by the ECOWAS Heads of States and Governments to be the next chairman of the African Union, since it was the turn of ECOWAS to produce the AU Chairman for 2012-2013. Mr. President was indeed approached by leaders within and outside the West African sub-region to take up the challenge of leading the AU for the next one year.
4. While appreciating this kind gesture, President Jonathan resolved that he needed time to focus on domestic affairs in Nigeria, and that it would be practically difficult for him to combine the three positions of President of Nigeria, Chairman of ECOWAS and Chairman of African Union. He therefore rejected the offer."
After trying for three times to choose a winner for the post of AU Commission chairperson, the Heads of State could not come to an agreement: they deadlocked - in other words none of the two candidates was able to secure the requisite two-thirds of the votes needed to win, which Dr. Ping had easily done in his first try in 2008, when he easily secured the vote with 34 countries voting for him. However, this time the vote went as follows: first round went 28 votes to 25, second round 27 to 26, and third round 29 to 24 votes. It is not understandable what happened to the remaining one vote as there are 54 countries in Africa as against the 53 that had been voting. After these votes, Dr. Dlamini-Zuma was forced by African Union rules to pull out, leaving Dr. Ping as the lone candidate. But still, he could not secure the requisite two-thirds of the vote or votes from 35 countries, needing about 6 countries to switch their votes to him to win the two-thirds.
The South African delegation had broken into a song and dance after the fourth vote resulted in a no winner. In a pre-vote speech, Dr. Dlamini-Zuma said that if elected she would "spare no effort in building on the work of those African women and men who want to see an African Union that is a formidable force striving for a united, free, truly independent, better Africa."
The results of the election itself laid to rest the rumors that had been swirling around Jean Ping's candidacy, that he was withdrawing his candidacy in the face of a determined opposition, or that his country's government was withdrawing support for him. These rumors had been defiantly denied by the Gabonese government. After these rumors, the Gabonese government mounted a counter-attack, sending out emissaries to different countries to solicit support for their candidate or holding major press conferences in Addis Ababa and New York seriously challenging the notion of non-support for Jean Ping, accusing some international and African media of spreading vicious rumors.
The election also exposed some fault-lines between francophone African nations and the rest of the continent. There are officially 21 french-speaking African countries, minus countries like Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Mauritania, Angola, Cape Verde, or even Libya, where though they officially speak other languages tend to have french as back-up language. If this happened to be the case, you are looking at a potentially solid 28 votes by language alone.
The question really is whether Africa could continue to allow European hegemonic influence to play a major role in how the continent positions itself as both of these two candidates possess a wealth of experience that should be the determining factor and not whether they are supported by France as had been rumored about Jean Ping or NATO as was rumored for Dlamini-Zuma. Both Jean Ping and Dlamini-Zuma served as foreign ministers for their respective countries for 10 years, with Ping serving as President of the United Nations General Assembly for one year. Dr. Dlamini-Zuma is now the Home Affairs Minister in South Africa, and the former wife of President Jacob Zuma.
Immediately after the deadlocked vote, it had been announced that the Deputy Chair of the African Union Commission, Ambassador Erasmus Mwencha, would become Acting Chair of the commission. However, after hours of further deliberations, the AU decided to extend Jean Ping's mandate for another six months until the next summit scheduled for June this. year in Malawi. It seems that South Africa's foreign minister had pushed for Mwencha to take over as acting Chair. However, in another twist to what is seen as deep divisions within the Union, the new AU Chairperson Benin President Thomas Yayi Boni informed reporters in Addis Ababa that "The elections were suspended in line with the provisions of our statute so we took the decision to extend the term of office of the chairperson, the deputy and his commissioners."
South Africa has vowed to re-field Dr. Dlamini-Zuma's candidacy in the June election. Whether the six months extension of Dr. Ping's mandate is enough to consolidate his position and allow him to win then, will be the challenge. The African Sun Times, Nova Jérsia

Obiang quer "apoiar" a Guiné-Bissau
Bissau, 01 fev (Lusa) - A Guiné Equatorial disponibilizou-se a dar apoio técnico e financeiro à reforma das forças de defesa e segurança na Guiné-Bissau, que é considerada fundamental pelo Governo de Bissau para a estabilização do país.
A promessa da Guiné Equatorial, país candidato a membro de pleno direito da Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa, foi feita na capital da Etiópia, no âmbito de uma mesa redonda sobre a Guiné-Bissau, à margem da 18.ª cimeira da União Africana (UA), que decorreu no passado fim de semana.
Foi o Presidente da Guiné Equatorial, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Nbasogo, presidente cessante da UA, que incentivou a realização da mesa redonda, de sensibilização da comunidade internacional para a necessidade de apoiar a Guiné-Bissau.
--------------- A ditadura de Obiang junta-se assim a Angola no desejo formal de reformular as forças de defesa e segurança da Guiné-Bissau, tarefa que muitos têm prometido, desde há anos, mas que ainda ninguém foi capaz de concretizar.
As ditas forças de defesa e segurança da Guiné são um tecido altamente contaminado pelo narcotráfico, num panorama altamente deprimente que de há muito se arrasta.
