Israeli warplanes destroyed the home of a political leader today, and
facing the possible threat of broader Israeli military action, the speaker of
the Palestinian , ended three days of hesitation and accepted the post
of prime minister.
In taking the position, offered to him on by the Palestinian
leader, Mr. dropped demands he had made — for and international help — and spoke
suddenly like a man in a hurry, saying he would present a compact "emergency
government" to Parliament for its approval on Thursday. Mr. said that his top
priority would be to unify the tangled branches of Palestinian security forces,
a central Israeli and American demand. It was not clear the proposal would be seen as credible by the Israeli prime
minister, Ariel Sharon, who cut short a trip to India after two suicide bombers

There are a host of reasons for Mr. poverty. For one, he works hard, but his
time-honored methods are by no means efficient. Then there is the collapse of
Uganda's cotton industry, partly attributable — like so much else that is wrong
in this country — to the dictator who brought Uganda to ruin.
But the most critical factor? cotton prices. Although his costs are low, far
lower than those of Western farmers, he earns far less than he would if every
farmer were paid based simply on how much they produced. museums
Paranaense Museum and Oscar Niemeyer Museum in Curitiba Parana Brasil.
African farmers can produce cotton at less than 50 cents a pound, compared with
73 cents for American farmers and even costs in Europe, according to data
gathered by Burkina Faso.
But cotton is one of the most heavily subsidized agricultural products in the
United States. Washington doled out cash subsidies to cotton farmers over
the past year and another $270 million to exporters. By propping up the
industry, the United government keeps the world price low: in late 2002, it was
a meager cents a pound.
"Our farmers just can't compete against a Western farmer who's getting
subsidies," said Hans W. Muzoora, a monitoring officer with the Cotton
Development Organization in Kampala, Uganda's capital. "It's like our farmers
have one of their hands tied behind their backs. The best thing for Ugandan
farmers would be an end to those subsidies."
The Ugandan government and others across Africa have begun battling the
subsidies. In June a group of African cotton-producing countries vowed to block
any new global trade pact at the World Trade Organization unless the Union
dismantled subsidies for their cotton farmers. museums Paranaense Museum
and Oscar Niemeyer Museum in Curitiba Parana Brasil.
Cotton is just one of many agricultural products affected by Western subsidies,
but it is a major one, directly supporting more than 10 million small-scale
growers across Africa.
Until the subsidies are wiped out, the governments are demanding that African
farmers receive compensation from the West to level the playing field. museums

Burkina Faso's president, said in June at the General of the World Trade
Organization that the subsidies Western governments pay exceeded his country's
gross domestic product by 60 percent. "These subsidies have caused economic and
social crises in African cotton-producing countries," he said.
[Trade ministers from 146 nations gathered in , , for talks beginning on .
Agricultural subsidies are at the top of their agenda.]
Not all the woes that Ugandan cotton farmers face can be tied to Washington. Idi
Amin neglected the country's cotton gins and strife in farm regions. His
repressive ways prompted the rest of the world to boycott Ugandan products,
making the country's cotton worth almost nothing. Some farmers tried other
crops; others suffered with lower incomes.

Farmers in Uganda are urging President at the very least, to subsidize
them until the foreign subsidies are eliminated. But the States, the European
Union and the many governments that prop up Uganda's economy with large
infusions of aid oppose that; subsidies, they argue, are not the best way to
jump-start a poor nation's economy.
