BOOM IN BIOFUELS AND POOR HARVESTS DESTROY A PRECARIOUS BALANCE
The demand for grain won't stop growing *
by Dominique Baillard
African populations are suffering the consequences of rising
grain prices, and there have been hunger riots and
demonstrations against the cost of bread. Meanwhile, grain is
breaking all records on the American markets.

`THE WORLD CUP WILL BE OUR CHANCE TO MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD'
Whose South Africa?
by Philippe Rivière
South Africa will host the World Cup in 2010 so construction
- and corruption - is booming. But almost none of the
building or the money can be accessed by the poor who live in
shantytowns without proper water, sanitation or electricity.
These inequalities could be a major issue in the 2009
presidential election.

`WE HAD GOT USED TO A SENSE OF OUR OWN SUPERIORITY'
Algeria: staying on *
by Pierre Daum
Most of the pieds noirs left Algeria after independence not

they dreaded being governed by Muslim Arabs. The reality for
those who stayed, however, was quite different.
Translated by George Miller
The events of 1962 *

How many are left? *
