Démographie galopante en Afrique – Mea culpa de Macron : «S’il y a trop d’enfants…je regrette d’avoir eu ce mot»

Le Premier des Français attribue à un lapsus calami les propos qu’il avait tenus au mois de juillet passé sur la démographie africaine. «S’il y a trop d’enfants, c’est un phénomène civilisationnel, et je regrette d’avoir eu ce mot… Je retire ce que j’ai dit sur ce plan-là. En revanche, je continue de penser que 7 ou 8 enfants par femme dans certains pays, ce n’est pas normal.

Et peut-être qu’un certain nombre de femmes qui ont autant d’enfants ne le souhaitent pas», a déclaré Emmanuel Macron ce mardi à Ouagadougou à l’occasion du discours inaugural de sa première tournée en Afrique.

Le président de la République française de préciser sa pensée : «70% des jeunes, c’est une chance, oui, j’y crois. Mais c’est surtout une immense responsabilité. La démographie, ça ne se décrète pas, ça ne se dicte pas.

Elle renvoie à des choix personnels, intimes dans lesquels personne ne doit s’immiscer, c’est là le cœur du sujet. Elle doit être un choix, en particulier pour les jeunes filles et les femmes. Partout où vous avez 7-8-9 enfants par femme, êtes-vous bien sûr que c’est le choix de ces jeunes filles ?

Dans mon pays des familles ont fait ce choix, c’est leur choix, je n’ai pas à juger. Mais je veux être sûr que partout en Afrique, ce soit bien le choix de ces jeunes filles, je veux qu’elles puissent continuer leurs études, travailler, qu’elles puissent faire le choix, elles. Qu’elles puissent avoir le choix de ne pas être mariée à 13 ou à 14 ans et de faire des enfants.

Non pas parce qu’un président l’aurait voulu mais parce que vous l’aurez voulu. Nous devons avoir ce débat responsable de la liberté de choix. C’est une conviction profonde qui m’a poussé à faire de l’égalité femmes-hommes la grande cause de mon mandat : que chaque jeune fille ou femme ait la possibilité de choisir son destin.»  Lire la suite sur dakaractu.com

  1. This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

  2. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

  3. Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

  5. Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

  6. The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

  7. Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

  8. I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
