Brazilian cattle beef is going to be promoted in Algeria at the beginning of next month. The Brazilian Beef Industry and Exporters Association (Abiec) and Federation of Muslim Associations of Brazil (Fambras), responsible for halal slaughter in the country, are going to participate in Algiers International Fair.
The fair will take place between June 1 and 8 in the capital of the African Arab country. They will participate in a stand organized by the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce. According to the technical spokesperson at the Abiec, Luciana Luiz Casanova, the trip will serve to show how halal slaughter, which follows Muslim rules, is executed in Brazil and to show the quality of the cattle beef produced in the country. Brazil already sells cattle beef to Algeria. Last year exports totaled US$ 108 million, with growth of 69% over the previous year. "We want to establish the economic integration that already exists," stated Luciana, who participated in a preparatory meeting for the fair at the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce yesterday. Algeria was one of the countries that stopped importing meat from Brazil due to cases of foot and mouth disease registered in the country last year. In March this year, however, imports were partially started again. The Arab country returned to buying boneless meat from Brazil, except for that from 15 states. Algeria had not officially embargoed Brazilian meat, but was not granting import licenses. Algerian participation in Brazilian cattle beef purchases was 3.1% in 2005. At Algiers International Fair, the Abiec and Fambras are going to talk to visitors about the characteristics of the Brazilian cattle herd, covering the raising of cattle on grazing ground, something normal in the country and that makes the meat healthier. Abiec has a Brazilian cattle beef marketing program called Brazilian Beef, also to be showed in Algeria. According to the figures supplied by the Abiec, the Algerians imported just US$ 4.2 million in cattle beef between January and April this year. According to the secretary general of the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce, Michel Alaby, Algeria is a potential market for food produced in Brazil. "Foods represent 22% of Algerian imports," stated Alaby. Last year Algeria imported a total of US$ 22.5 billion in products in general. The Arab country's main trade partners are France, Italy, Germany, Spain, the United States, China and Turkey. The Brazilian stand at Algiers International Fair will include, apart from Abiec and Fambras, the Brazilian Furniture Industry Association (Abimóvel), Tangará, a producer of powdered milk, Starret, a maker of tools as well as Rimo and Divicar, furniture producers. The fair is visited by importers from various countries in the region, mainly from Africa. Last year, Algiers International Fair received one million visitors, among them 15,000 businessmen and businesswomen. The fair had exhibitors from 35 countries in Europe, America and Africa. There were 1,300 foreign and 600 Algerian exhibitors. The fair covers an area of one million square meters. Anba - www.anba.com.br

The small, coastal town of Condé is located just a twenty minute's drive from João Pessoa, the capital of Paraíba. The Northeast of Brazil has historically been a place of encounter and mixing between peoples. For millenia groups of indigenous people fished, farmed, migrated and sometimes fought along this large, fertile area. 
The Brazilian diplo-MÁ-cia (bad diplomacy) carries on its accelerated course towards the non-acknowledgment of human rights, although sometimes it takes pleasure in saying that it does precisely the opposite. The visit of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is another example of a diplomatic omission that verges on hypocrisy. 
On July 4, 2006, representatives of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay met in Caracas to sign the protocol for the entrance of Venezuela into the Southern Common Market (Mercosur). After two and a half years, the protocol was approved by the legislative bodies of Argentina and Uruguay, and as of now it may be only days away from being ratified by the continent's economic megalith, Brazil. 
Some sectors of the fight against AIDS have suggested that Thabo Mbeki, the former president of South Africa, committed genocide through his absence from the fight against the illness in his country throughout his two terms. 
One hundred and eleven years after Brazil abolished slavery, the number of workers deprived of their freedom is still huge. They raise cattle, produce charcoal, sugar cane or timber. Some of them, most undocumented Bolivians, work in basements of small apparel factories in São Paulo and other metropolis. 
On November 7, 2009 a few friends and I had an opportunity to take a look inside a Brazilian jail outside the city of Rio de Janeiro. We were able to take some amateur footage of our experience on video (see link below). It's no surprise, of course, that the typical Brazilian jail lacks some of the functionality of those in North America or Europe, but our experience that day was quite shocking. 
Depletion of the Amazon Rainforest is not a new concern facing environmentalists, biologists, ecologists, and a growing number of the Amazonian indigenous peoples. For decades they have feared for the fate of the world's most biologically diverse and species-rich hothouse. 
Geisy Arruda made history this week in Brazil, but for all the wrong reasons. What began as a poorly planned fashion statement has become a worldwide tale. Geisy decided to wear a pink mini-dress to her private college in São Paulo state, and after that, all hell broke loose. 
The push of vigilante groups in Rio de Janeiro's favelas (shantytowns) in the last three years is the most important and alarming information of the just-released study by the Rio de Janeiro University's Violence Research Center (Nupev-Uerj). 
A dispute over drug trafficking territory in Rio de Janeiro has intensified lately, leaving in its wake unprecedented acts of violence, such as the downing of a police helicopter in the northern zone of the city on October 17. Three policemen died and another two were injured. This event has drawn the attention of the international media, who are raising the issue of public security for the 2016 Olympics to be held in Rio.
