		<description>To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the abolition of slavery, France decided in 2006 to establish a National Day of Remembrance of the Slave Trade, Slavery and their Abolition on May 10. France commemorates this memory and recalls that many people are still victims of trafficking and are reduced to the worst forms of exploitation throughout the world.

		&lt;div class='rss_texte'&gt;&lt;p&gt;To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the abolition of slavery, France decided in 2006 to establish a National Day of Remembrance of the Slave Trade, Slavery and their Abolition on May 10. France commemorates this memory and recalls that many people are still victims of trafficking and are reduced to the worst forms of exploitation throughout the world. France remains fully committed to the fight against these modern forms of slavery.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs and its diplomatic network are organizing several events to increase civil society's awareness of the relevance and the universality of this scourge.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Human Rights Ambassador, Mr. Fran&#231;ois Zimeray, will represent the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs at the official ceremony which will take place today in the Jardin du Luxembourg, under the patronage of President Sarkozy.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;France calls for the universal ratification of the Palermo Convention aimed at preventing, suppressing and punishing trafficking in persons and at implementing instruments to fight against these crimes.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The French Committee for the History and Remembrance of Slavery brings European civil societies together in order to examine the issues relating to remembrance and the struggle for abolition because the condemnation of trafficking and slavery is embedded in the European democratic identity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Indeed, everyone knows that the first instinct of the enemies of freedom is to silence the press, and that the freedom fighters' greatest ally is the free media. France is in this respect especially vigilant with respect to the freedom of cyberspace.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class='spip_document_963 spip_documents spip_documents_center'&gt;

Je veux rendre hommage &#224; tous ces journalistes qui payent de leur vie ou de leur libert&#233; l'exercice d'un m&#233;tier souvent dangereux, au service de la recherche de la v&#233;rit&#233;, dans des pays d&#233;chir&#233;s par des conflits violents ou tenus par des dictateurs.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Il nous faut saluer le courage de tous ceux qui, partout dans le monde, d&#233;fendent au p&#233;ril de leur vie ce droit fondamental qu'est la libert&#233; de la presse et la libert&#233; d'expression, alors que les atteintes &#224; ce droit, universel, essentiel, persistent dans de nombreux pays.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Le libre exercice du m&#233;tier de journaliste constitue une priorit&#233; dans notre politique de d&#233;fense des droits de l'Homme. Chacun voit en effet que le premier r&#233;flexe des ennemis de la libert&#233;, c'est de b&#226;illonner la presse, que les premiers alli&#233;s des combattants pour la libert&#233;, ce sont des medias libres. La France est &#224; cet &#233;gard particuli&#232;rement vigilante pour la libert&#233; du cyber espace.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class='spip_document_962 spip_documents spip_documents_center'&gt;

		&lt;div class='rss_texte'&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the frame of the series of high-level thematic seminars organized by the Embassy of France to Botswana / Special Representation to SADC since 2009, the 7th edition of the seminar was held at the University of Botswana (Gaborone), on 15 and 16 March 2012. The theme, chosen in accordance with the Francophonie Celebration Week, was: &#8220;Languages as tools of regional integration within the SADC region&#8221;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3 class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;a name='1'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Co-organized by the Embassy of France, the SADC Secretariat, the Government and the University of Botswana and financially supported by the International Organization of la Francophonie (IOF), the SADC (via the EU Delegation to Botswana) and the company Orange-Botswana, this seminar gathered experts from the IOF, the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF), the African Academy for languages (ACALAN) and the International Centre for Pedagogic Studies, based in La Reunion Island. The two Portuguese-speaking countries of the SADC region were represented by an executive from the Languages Institute in Luanda, Angola, and by an academic from the Eduardo Mondlane University of Maputo, Mozambique.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3 class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;a name='1'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;After the official opening ceremony, the first day of the seminar was dedicated to the linguistic regime currently implemented in the SADC Secretariat. Each contributor had the opportunity to address their speech in one of the 3 official languages of SADC (French, English, and Portuguese), thanks to simultaneous interpretation devices. The influence of cross-borders languages on the political, economic and social integration within the SADC region was discussed on the second day.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3 class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;a name='1'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;The conference gathered a wide and diverse audience from several Member States of the SADC region, the Diplomatic Corps, academics, students and journalists. On the second day, two shows, linked with the themes of the seminar, were presented: a short play, performed by pupils from a high-school of Gaborone, and a concert by Woba Kel&#233;, a band formed by artists from the Reunion Island and Malawi, who played with a local band, Seraga Ntswana.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3 class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;a name='1'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;dl class='spip_document_949 spip_documents spip_documents_center'&gt;
