<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These our Doctors will kill us one by one oh...!(with a Nigerian accent)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So on Wednesday, having not felt well for the last two days, I decided to go see a Doctor and perhaps do a few checks here and there, mainly malaria. I checked into one of the clinics around town, a common clinic at that, and I was given a Doctor who indeed recommended tests. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The tests turned out negative, no malaria, no typhoid, no any other infection, viral or otherwise, but I still had a terrible headache and was feeling generally weak. So I asked the Dr what next, he said he was going to prescribe for me two drugs-One a painkiller, the other, an energy booster. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That sounded really fine for me because all I wanted was for the pain and fever to go away. He prescribed for me Stugeron (A drug used to treat Vertigo, that condition where you see the world around you spinning or your head spinning at worst, with a deafening sound. Its also used to treat Motion sickness). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He also prescribed for me another drug, a strong mophine-type painkiller which I can't exactly remember the name, but the type MJ used to take to numb pain so he could push another day. Luckily enough I couldn't get it in any pharmacy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However me and my wife were not satisfied, we decided to go to another hospital for more tests. At Nyirinkwaya's I narrated to the good Ethiopian doctor yesterday's ordeal and he asked me to come back with papers from the other clinic, which I did. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He went ahead and ordered other tests, which also turned out negative on Malaria, typhoid and other infections, but he was quick to interpret other tests and conclude that it is malaria without any doubt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"The problem with most Doctors here they cannot interpret results from the lab, the moment they see 'negatif', that is it. He could have easily noticed that your platelate count is slightly low and this only happens mainly because of malaria" he said. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He was shocked that a Doctor could prescribe for me those strong drugs. He asked me if I have Vertigo-like symptoms and I said no. As he prescribed for me malaria medication, of which he was 95 percent sure it was, he ordered more tests and told me to stop taking Stugeron. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But as I left the hospital, I was wondering how many people get diagnosed with wrong conditions and put on wrong medication on a daily basis by our Congolese/Rwandan doctors. This, my friends, is a very worrying trend. Only God can protect us.</span></div>

The LPI is a joint partnership of the African Union Commission, the Economic Commission for Africa and the African Development Bank, set up to support African governments in addressing contemporary land policy problems.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman;">This was during a workshop to equip the journalists with the tools to better cover the Conference and move on with advocating land policy reforms in Africa. Following the workshop, the media practitioners quickly established themselves as the nucleus of a new network of journalists on land issues. But they requested continuous LPI support in facilitating robust training in the area and linking them to relevant data and knowledge institutions in a bid to grow a movement of land governance advocates to support Africa’s overall development. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman;">“The media can influence policy makers to adopt inclusive policies and frameworks that advance the sustainable use of lands in Africa,” the journalists were told, by Janet Edeme who opened the workshop on behalf of the AUC-AfDB-ECA consortium. “But the media have so far been rarely targeted for capacity development on land issues,” she said.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman;">Some of the crucial ways in which the media can play a key role in the land policy dialogue, LPI experts said, would be to expose corrupt practices, monitor land reforms as well as acquisitions and deals, demand for governments’ accountability, create forums for land stakeholders to engage the state and utilise information technology to advance land reform processes. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman;">But to do this, they need to understand the core elements of land governance. Such elements include access and rights issues, the state of natural resources associated with land, land use privileges, decision-making processes on appropriation, the security of rights especially with regards to women and indigenous peoples, and mechanisms for resolving land conflicts. These, they were advised, should be underpinned by responsible reporting that seeks common ground and is conflict-sensitive but which goes ahead to ask the “so what?” question before publishing.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Times New Roman;">The journalists are expected to immediately reflect their new perspectives in their coverage of the 4-day conference. The Conference will dwell extensively on securing land rights, inclusive agricultural growth in the context of large scale investments and emerging best practices in developing and implementing land policies. </span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Journalism under threat?</span></b><br />
<br />
I write this from the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, a city on the move. Everything here is moving at terrific speed-humongous infrastructure projects, which include a metro service which could be completed in less than a year from now, and towering buildings.<br />
<br />
The city is littered with a cobweb of brand new highways being laid down to curb the growing traffic numbers. Trucks loaded with soil inter change lanes with those carrying boiling bitumen as the Chinese foremen shout instructions to the 'lazy' Ethiopian labourers.<br />
<br />
Across the metropolis, towering cranes can be seen sprouting out from almost every corner-it is another skyscraper or a 5* Hotel on the rise. Motorists hoot and scream at each other to give way. Women rush to work, dragging along, by hand, their reluctant toddlers to school. There is no time to waste.<br />
<br />
Ethiopia is a country on the move. But beyond the flourishing hospitality and infrastructure industry, one group of people feels left out-you guessed right-the media.<br />
<br />
I do not want to dwell on the independence of the media or media freedoms in Ethiopia-that is none of my business. But from a chat I have had with my colleagues here, I pretty much feel the situation here mirrors ours back home in Rwanda. Again I will not dwell on media freedoms back home or anything in that line--that is a story for another day.<br />
<br />
Mine is just to ask, is journalism anything for anyone to pursue a career? Is journalism still relevant in this day and age? Is there such a thing as media independence?<br />
<br />
Well, from a chat I had with my colleagues here, before I reflect on the situation back home, journalism is no more, especially 'in this our capitalistic world'. He who has the money calls the shots. It is quite frustrating if you ask me.<br />
<br />
Why should we worry? Journalism has gone to the dogs. My Ethiopian friends tell me, as it is back home, that media here is built on the aspect of "we are with them" or "you are on your own"-by saying "with them" refers to the government, the system or whatever it is-that animal.<br />
<br />
They tell me for anything to succeed, you literally have to be 'in bed' with the system or you are not. There is no such a thing as neutrality.<br />
<br />
Your existence entirely depends on how you work with the system. For adverts to come in, later on any sort of revenue, you have to be in good books with the system.<br />
<br />
What this means is that even your content (or byline) is determined and approved by the system. You will not question anything. Even if it means a politician asking you to discredit a rival, you will do so without asking a single question.<br />
<br />
Indeed, the ones who decide to go that way are doing very well financially, driving good cars and taking their children to good schools and leisure parks over the weekend. But what is even more worrying is that it is not safe even for those who decide to 'be in bed' with the system.<br />
<br />
"There is a lot of in fighting even amongst them. They are constantly bickering for favours, today you are in good books, tomorrow someone makes up a story to discredit you and before you know it, the system discards you like used toilet paper," my friend told me.<br />
<br />
The competition is so cutthroat that even short term consultancies or access to places depend on how you relate with the system. So to speak, the system has taken over journalism.<br />
<br />
As I said earlier, you are either "with them" or "you are on your own". A bunch of those I spoke to chose to be on their own, trying to freelance for different media houses or start part-time consultancy firms. This has however come with very frustrating consequences. They are living a destitute life, albeit with pride.<br />
<br />
"You do not get anything. We are a pessimistic society. When you are independent, you are ignored by everyone. The taps are closed, you do not get any deals or temporally consultancies. You are more of a prodigal son," Elias further tells me, adding that you 'either sell your soul or die in poverty'.<br />
<br />
Frustration is visible in his eyes. He has tried to do what is right and stand for the ethics and principles of journalism but he goes to bed hungry, despite several award-winning stories he has to his name. On the other hand, his colleagues and age-mates who decided to take a different route drive big Toyota Land Cruisers--yet both are considered journalists.<br />
<br />
It a worrying scenario, which I thought mirrors exactly ours. It is not only threatening journalism but it is turning us into a dangerously corrupt society. If the kind of journalism we do is determined by the cheque, I am afraid there is no journalism left but propaganda. Whatever it is, it is not journalism.<br />
<br />
This takes me back to a heated debate we had on Twitter last week. A protracted group of journalists launched a vicious attack on Rwanda Media Commission (RMC), the self-regulation body elected by Rwandan journalists. It was embarrassing the least to say.<br />
<br />
I actually have no problem at all with people debating or interpreting the law differently--in fact differing views are always healthy. I would not hesitate to say that if indeed RMC got it wrong on the law, they owe us an apology but it is far from that.<br />
<br />
My biggest issue however was, the group which launched the scathing attack on RMC and its head Fred Muvunyi cannot be trusted anymore, to be of any independent mind or anything left of that at all for them to express neutral views.<br />
<br />
Over the years, that particular group has showed us the might of the cheque, with some of them transforming from vitriolic critics to praise singers overnight--the magic of a paycheck.<br />
<br />
Reason and honesty have been replaced by currency--for currency they can do anything, call anyone all sorts of names and label their colleagues 'enemies' so that they can be considered the 'good ones' or the 'patriotic ones'.<br />
<br />
This is a very worrying trend. It is not only a dangerous road for journalism to go, but it also brings us to the question that 'is journalism under attack?' We are living in very disturbing times.<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

The workshop is organised to make journalists understand land policy issues on the continent.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Media can be critical
partners in increasing public awareness about land reforms and changing
attitudes and practices about land use and management. They can influence policy
makers to adopt inclusive policies and frameworks that advance sustainable use
of land in Africa. But media are rarely targeted for capacity development on
land issues. Without the requisite knowledge on land governance concerns,
journalists are unlikely to take land reform as an agenda in their reporting.
Equally, they are unlikely to monitor the ways in which different stakeholders
use land or even rigorously advance agricultural production in their work. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Land Policy Initiative will
contribute in increasing the capacity of journalists so that they can
appreciate the key land governance issues in Africa. This will be done through
building of platforms, undertaking capacity development workshops for reporters
and editors, writing articles to be carried through media outlets, taking part
in interviews and discussion forums, and sharing information on land with
journalists.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Never too late.......</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Yeah, finally here I am, in the blogging world. It's never too late. A few of my friends call me a 'late bloomer' when it comes to technology and things to do with gadgets. While I don't entirely agree with them, to some extent I guess I am but it is never too late.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Usually when I decide to do something, I don't give up on it easily. So this blog will be a consistent one with at least a post a week. To warn you, some of the things I will post here may not be necessarily interesting but I hope to make the most of it.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>I come at a time when blogs are getting people arrested like the case in Ethiopia but hell yeah, I am ready for it. Who knew a simple blog can upset a whole government?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>I used to despise blogs and looked at them as something that won't live beyond the next 10 years with the emergence of social media but I was wrong. Blogging is here to stay. It is our own way, especially as journalists, to say things that the publications we work for can't publish or things our governments may not exactly love to to see in papers.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>On these blogs, we speak our minds, even if we could be the only ones reading our own blogs but yeah, at least we have somewhere we can speak our minds. Blogs too, in their simplicity, have earned people awards and taken people places. We cannot underestimate the power of blogs. Blogs have ignited revolutions and fought injustices, like the case in Uganda recently, of one racist bar that got more than it bargained for.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Some of my friends including Ivan Mugisha, Rama Isibo, Fred Muvunyi, Sunny Ntayombya, Doreen Umutesi and many more have been running blogs, albeit some dormant, but they have already gained a considerable following.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
