Sunday Roundup is not a new rendezvous on the Sama Gazette but it is one on Max Dana’s Blog. Last Sunday she started this new series of posts about what caught her attention during the week. It sounds like our weekly Friday Digest which Max said it inspired her but we have to admit her news roundup is far more detailed than ours. We still have to learn a lot from her, we know that! So we decided to cross post it here. You can also read this post on ...

Today is our first anniversary. The Sama Gazette was launched on July 28th, 2009: The Sama Gazette is now online… Time passes so quickly! During this first year, we shared with you what caught our attention, what we liked and the organizations and campaigns we support.

We hope our support is contributing to mobilize people, as we have already seen positive results among our readers who are actively supporting campaigns and joined several meetings, in France and in the United States. From RAISE ...

This week-end we had a lively discussion at the Sama Gazette about why the Obama administration but also other administrations in Europe seem to have forgotten their promises concerning Darfur. Two articles published last week originated this discussion : an article/op-ed posted on USA Today by John Prendergast: U.S. must help stop Sudan’s slow-motion war and The value of sticks and carrots for Sudan published on Enough Project website. Many ...

Many Sama Readerscommented about it and took action by sending an email to their Representative; a few days later, we mentioned the campaign again in: Friday Digest: Congo campaign/Zimbabwe/Sudan/iPad… We support this campaign on the Sama Gazette because we think it’s important we buy conflict-free cell ...
