RDC: la ville de Kisangani privée d’eau potable et d’électricité

Dans le nord de la RDC, la ville de Kisangani est sans électricité depuis le jeudi 9 novembre. En cause une crue du fleuve Congo et de la rivière Tshopo qui ont provoqué une inondation de la centrale hydroelectrique qui alimente la ville. Les équipes de la SNEL, la Société nationale d’électricité, devraient mettre plusieurs jours pour permettre un retour à la normale. La ville d’1 million 300 000 habitants n’avait pas connu de telle panne depuis 20 ans et cela pose de gros problèmes, avec des risques en matière de santé et de sécurité, selon le maire de la ville, Augustin Osumaka.

Interrogé par RFI, le maire de Kisangani insiste sur la question de l’approvisionnement en eau potable. « Sans courant, il n’y a pas de distribution d’eau au niveau des ménages, c’est le grand problème que nous avons ! Nous sortons d’une réunion de crise et on a trouvé une solution palliative : on nous a dotés d’un générateur de grande puissance qui puisse alimenter la régie des eaux afin que l’on puisse distribuer de l’eau aux ménages  ».

« Kisangani est une ville traversée par des rivières, des ruisseaux et le fleuve Congo : nous craignons que la population soit infectée par les maladies hydriques », rappelle le maire qui invite à la prudence dans la consommation de l’eau : il faut utiliser des produits chlorés pour purifier l’eau et des de&avant de la consommer, prendre des produits chlorés et des aquatabs [pastilles pour purifier l’eau], en vente dans les boutiques.

Aucune préoccupation, la sécurité

« Concernant la sécurité, les services d’intelligence veille à ce que des malfrats ne profitent de l’obscurité qui règne dans la ville… tous les services sont aux aguets pour éviter tout dérapage », assure le maire.

«  Selon les techniciens de la SNEL, nous osons croire que la situation sera rétablie d’ici une semaine ».

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  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.

  4. 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.)

  8. The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

  9. If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

  11. 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.

  16. Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do some research on this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more from this post. I’m very glad to see such magnificent information being shared freely out there.

  19. I needed to create you a bit of remark to help give thanks once again for your personal breathtaking solutions you have featured above. This has been certainly extremely generous of you to offer easily what a few people would have advertised for an ebook to earn some money for themselves, principally considering that you could possibly have tried it in case you considered necessary. Those points as well worked like a fantastic way to understand that other individuals have the same fervor similar to my personal own to realize more and more regarding this problem. I’m certain there are several more pleasurable situations in the future for people who read your website.
