Aids concerns everyone
Education must play the key role in the fight against HIV/Aids, writes the daily Le Quotidien on World Aids Day: "The value of education is higher than it ever was. Even if the virus has been known for almost 30 years, it is not about to disappear. In our region the disease can no longer be considered only a problem for homosexuals or drug addicts, and people should stop naively praising Aids treatment to the skies. Although it can be effective, it considerably constrains patients in their daily lives. In southern countries NGOs and associations must demonstrate their endurance in the ongoing battle against the obsolete attitudes which still exist."

BP drills even deeper in the Mediterranean
Despite the catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico BP wants to set up a new platform off the coast of Libya in August that will drill even deeper than Deepwater Horizon. The daily Le Quotidien accuses the company of greed and calls for stricter security measures: "This goldmine on Tripoli's doorstep promises huge profits, and BP's management - as weak as it may be - has no intention of playing the good student and learning from past mistakes. But the activity planned in the waters off Libya is not just characterised by a lack of responsibility and extraordinary greed. ... It is also political in nature. Britain's interest in the new Mediterranean rig is undeniable. In future the challenge will be to close the security loopholes on the platform ... and above all to put an end to our dependency on oil as quickly as possible."
