حين أسس الخوارزمي علم الجبر، وحوّل الصفر إلى الرقم الذي لا يستقيم علم الرياضيات من دونه، لم يدُر في خلد هذا العالِم العربي- الفارسي، أن صفره سيتحول في يوم من الأيام إلى رمز لأمة وشعوب قررت أن تكون صفراً له مكان واحد هو على شمال مصالحها وكرامتها، يستولي عليه الطامحون بها، ويضعونه على يمين مكتسباتهم.
يستطيع العرب التباهي بأن كلمة صفر، التي استنبطها أجدادهم، دخلت بعد تأسيس الأندلس إلى جميع اللغات الأوروبية، فقام الإيطاليون بتحويرها إلى «زفيروم» (Zephyrum) التي ستصير «زفــيرو» (Zefiro) ثم «زيرو» (Zero).

New research shows devastating economic impact of Covid-19 on displaced | NRC

More than three quarters of displaced and conflict-affected people surveyed by the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) have lost income since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. The devastating economic impact is tipping many into a hunger, homelessness and education crisis, the organisation said in a report released today.

The report, Downward Spiral, is based on detailed surveys and needs assessments in 14 countries, including a multi-country survey of 1,400 conflict and displacement-affected people in eight countries, which shows that:

77 per cent of people surveyed had lost a job or income from work since March.
70 per cent of people had to cut the number of meals for their household since the pandemic broke out.
73 per cent reported that they were less likely to send their children to school because of economic hardship.

“The world’s most vulnerable communities are in a dangerous downward spiral. Already forced from their homes by violence, often with limited rights to work or access to government services, the economic impact of the pandemic is pushing them to catastrophe,” said Jan Egeland, Secretary General of NRC.

Rencontres de Minerve 2020

▻https://lavoiedujaguar.net/Rencontres-de-Minerve-2020

Ces rencontres se sont déroulées du 10 au 15 août, dans un cadre idyllique, ombragé, avec un immense terrain de camping ; les lieux étant situés à 500 mètres d’altitude un petit vent agréable nous a permis d’échapper à la canicule.

Cet endroit est géré par la Commune du Maquis : « C’est un projet qui regroupe des collectifs et individus autour de valeurs et activités en commun. Nous tentons de mettre en pratique des modes de fonctionnement et de décision collectifs, horizontaux, antiautoritaires et solidaires. Nous faisons vivre cet endroit au quotidien afin d’y exercer des activités qui nous sont chères (agricoles, événements…) et assumer ensemble le développement du lieu ainsi que la charge financière qui va avec. (…) Ni communautaire ni “partidiste”, la Commune du Maquis s’inscrit dans le cadre des luttes sociales pour l’éradication du principe d’autorité sous toutes ses formes : politique, économique et sociale. »

Ce fut l’occasion de rencontrer des camarades d’horizons variés, de centres d’intérêt et d’activité très différents de ceux que nous avons l’habitude de côtoyer quotidiennement. Rencontres très enrichissantes et créatrices de liens.

Les sujets abordés, les conférences étaient tous d’une grande qualité et les discussions qui s’ensuivaient se déroulaient dans l’écoute de chacun, sans tensions. Chaque soir, des projections de films ou de la musique. (...)

UNHCR - UNHCR Report: Coronavirus a dire threat to refugee education – half of the world’s refugee children out of school.

The report calls on governments, the private sector, civil society and other key stakeholders to join forces to find solutions which strengthen national education systems and link with pathways towards certified education, and to secure and safeguard education financing. Without such action, the report warns, we risk a lost generation of refugee children deprived of their education.

From refugee camps to developed nations, COVID-19 keeps world on edge | CIDRAP

The camp, located in the north of the country near the border with Iraq, is home to about 74,000 refugees, many of them displaced women and children from Syria and Iraq.

The patient is a 29-year-old woman who is being treated in an isolation area of the camp where a nongovernmental organization and the WHO are supporting patient care. Health workers are identifying contacts and will be monitoring them for symptoms, as well as working with camp residents on how to protect themselves.

In other Middle East developments, Ahmed Al-Mandhari, MD, PhD, director of WHO EMRO, said in a statement today some countries in the region have experiences surges after lifting restrictions or are experiencing them following other emergency situations.

Aux origines de la presse arabe

Au début du XIXe siècle apparaissent les premiers journaux en langue arabe, qui ont longtemps eu une finalité administrative. Par la suite, les pouvoirs coloniaux y ont vu un outil pour s’adresser directement aux populations autochtones et diffuser leur propagande dans l’ensemble du monde arabophone. Les titres indépendants ont bénéficié, eux, du savoir-faire de maronites syro-libanais.

UNHCR MENA COVID-19 Emergency Response Update #11 - UNHCR

L’entreprise est l’un des lieux avec le plus grand risque de contamination au Covid-19. En France, un cluster sur cinq se forme sur des lieux de travail. Rien d’étonnant à cela : les open-spaces brassent chaque jour plusieurs personnes dans des espaces clos, souvent mal ventilés, où le virus circule donc très facilement.

Comment réduire ce risque ? Certaines sociétés envisagent d’imposer le port obligatoire du masque à tous leurs salariés, tandis que d’autres encouragent le télétravail généralisé jusqu’à la rentrée, voire la fin de l’année. Une troisième voie, jusque là peu explorée, permettrait de concilier l’activité professionnelle avec la perspective d’une menace épidémique durable : celle du travail en extérieur.

Some governments have demanded an international investigation in China to determine the origins and early spread of the virus. The Chinese government says it will join a global inquiry into the pandemic but only when the crisis is over. It says it should not be blamed as it is a victim too, and that its tough measures to combat the Wuhan outbreak prevented hundreds of thousands of infections and bought the world time. Dr Ali Khan spent much of his career in the US Centers for Disease Control and says the world now needs to think ahead. “We can’t afford to do this again. If … some countries having an outbreak [are] deciding to not share that information, there have to be consequences.” But what consequences? The WHO’s regulations on protecting against the international spread of disease are legally binding, but there are no sanctions for countries that fail to adhere to them. In recent weeks, western governments have begun adopting a tougher tone towards Beijing on a range of issues, but there is little sign of a concerted international push for new WHO inspection powers to tackle future disease outbreaks. Indeed, the US has just withdrawn funding for the WHO, alleging that the global health body served as Beijing’s puppet during the early stages of coronavirus. For now, we are left hoping that China’s leadership has learned its own lessons about the need to act faster to protect its own public and the world.

1 per cent of humanity displaced: UNHCR Global Trends report - UNHCR

- Coronavirus impact? -

The report did not address the evolving displacement situation since the global coronavirus pandemic struck.
Grandi said it was clear the crisis was complicating the situation for the displaced at a time when everyone is being told that “being on the move is a liability for yourself and for others.”
But he noted that the poor and middle-income countries that host around 85 percent of the world’s refugees had so far been relatively spared the worst health impacts of the pandemic.
However, he warned, the economic impacts were taking a dire toll.
“What we have really seen escalating dramatically is poverty,” he said, pointing out that lockdowns in many countries had eliminated any chance most displaced people have of making an income.
Without significant support for displaced people and their host communities, this could spark “further population movements”, he warned.
Grandi also reiterated that countries must continue granting asylum to those in need, despite border closures and lockdown measures.
“One activity that doesn’t seem to have been discouraged by the pandemic is war, or conflict or violence,” he said.
“Unfortunately people continue to flee their homes, because pandemic or not, they are at risk... and they need to continue to be given refuge, protection, asylum.”

Protecting Refugee Children During the Pandemic-project-syndicate

After the COVID-19 pandemic is over, we will be judged on how well we protected the world’s most vulnerable people, including those who have been displaced by conflicts and emergencies that they had no role in creating. Their rights, like those of every child, are non-negotiable. Right now, we are failing them.

Taima’a al-Hariri, a 17-year-old Syrian refugee living in the Za’atari refugee camp in Jordan, had been regularly attending school before the Jordanian authorities introduced a necessary lockdown to combat the spread of COVID-19.

“When the coronavirus appeared, they shut down all the classrooms and we didn’t have teachers we could interact with anymore,” Taima’a says. “I was starting to do charity work with [refugee] children with cancer, but that was put on hold.”

Biogeopolitics of COVID‐19: Asylum‐Related Migrants at the European Union Borderlands - Wiley Online Library

These sovereign geopolitical territorial units were not able to prevent the arrival of the virus (with the propagandistic exceptions of North Korea and Turkmenistan) due to border‐crossings. Therefore, among the first actions taken by the governments were ‘lockdowns’. Most countries prevented people from moving and migrating across its borders and imposed strong regulations concerning how people can get together in the public space of that country. Particularly strong concerns were expressed over the pandemic’s deathly impact on individual countries’ demography (i.e. mortality rates and numbers among citizens), as well as its devastating impact on the economy of individual countries (i.e. unemployment, bankruptcies and rising public social welfare burden), resulting from the rapid downturn in the global economy. Much of the observations were thus about each state, as well as its sovereignty and measures to protect citizens.

In such a state‐centric discussion about COVID‐19, much less attention has been paid to displaced people. Displaced people, in this context, are tens of millions of people who had to leave their homes to seek economic, social and political security and/or asylum in another country. To ask for asylum, one must leave one’s country of origin, cross the border to another country and request asylum there or travel further to do it in another country. These displaced people flee one state and expect protection from another state (United Nations 1951). However, they are in between two countries, still on the move or in the asylum process, having limited and only temporary formal protection by any state.

Refugee Resettlement Dwindling as Needs Hit All-Time High, IRC Warns - Voice of America

The International Rescue Committee warned Wednesday that a record number of refugees need permanent resettlement, even as resettlement is on track to dip for the fourth year in a row in a world ravaged by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The virus delayed resettlement for about 10,000 refugees, according to the IRC, which encouraged countries to restart resettlement programs as soon as is safe and prioritize previously approved refugees.
“The COVID-19 pandemic must not be used as justification to permanently restrict or reduce programs,” said IRC President and CEO David Miliband in a statement Wednesday. “It is imperative that existing programs are resumed as soon as possible — additional delays will only leave vulnerable refugees in limbo for longer.”

The impact of Covid-19 on refugees - The express tribune

As the threat of Covid-19 intensifies over time, protection of the most vulnerable populations is of paramount importance. Falling on June 20th, World Refugee Day draws yearly attention towards the need to support and protect the 80 million people displaced all over the world. Of these, 30 million are classified as refugees, with this number having nearly doubled in the last decade. Around two-thirds of the world’s refugees live in Syria, Venezuela, Afghanistan, South Sudan and Myanmar. Even though everyone is at risk of contracting the virus, refugees and asylum seekers stand to be the most vulnerable. Dwelling in overcrowded and densely populated urban settlements with unsafe and unhygienic living conditions, refugees are extremely vulnerable to the debilitating impact this virus poses to their health and living standards.

World must do more to care for refugees -Arab news

Statistics released by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) last week make for grim reading. Close to 80 million people in the world are now displaced, out of which 26 million are classified as refugees. The former number constitutes about 1 percent of humanity. When you dig deeper, things look even bleaker. The number of displaced people has doubled in less than 10 years. Some 68 percent of refugees come from just five countries: Syria, Venezuela, Afghanistan, South Sudan, and Myanmar. Three of these countries have majority Muslim populations, while 1.1 million Rohingya, who are also Muslim, have fled Myanmar because of what can only be described as genocide.
