Corneille Nangaa criticized the Coalition Article 64 (C64) for straying, in his view, from its initial mission of defending the Constitution by favoring dialogue and then mediation. He asked the movement on whose behalf and between which parties it intended to act as arbitrators. Nangaa stated that a way out of the crisis could be negotiated, but that one should not put the Constitution and those who violated it on the same level. He also rejected any compromise with individuals he accused of wanting to tear apart the fundamental law to obtain a third mandate. He presented Goma as a place of Congolese resistance and indicated that bishops from CENCO and ECC, representatives of the United Nations and the European Union, as well as former heads of state engaged in African Union efforts, had been received there. He invited members of the C64 to go there, calling on them to defend the law rather than to arbitrate between the Constitution and those who violated it. Nangaa compared the situation to Charles de Gaulle's call for resistance in 1940 and argued that the Constitution should remain a limit imposed on power, rather than a bargaining chip. #Constitution #Résistance #RDC (translated)

It seems reasonable that both Finland and Norway have contacted Putin and are trying to find a solution to the war that Putin started against Ukraine through dialogue. But before criticizing Mette Frederiksen for the contact made by Finland and Norway, one must understand the history. Just as one cannot reason with a mad dog, one cannot reason with Putin; politicians tried that with economic cooperation until 2014, and history clearly shows that the regime in Russia does not seek peace and dialogue. A little historical fact: The Soviet Union (then Russia) joined the Allies' side on June 22, 1941, when Nazi Germany (under Adolf Hitler's leadership) invaded the country. Until then, the Soviet Union and Germany had a non-aggression pact, which meant they were not fighting on the same side but had divided Eastern Europe between them, leading to the mass extermination of Polish officers. November 1939. The Soviet Union (under Joseph Stalin) attacked Finland. The war ended with the Moscow Peace Treaty on March 13, 1940. Finland preserved its independence but had to give up about 13% of its territory. After World War II, the Soviet Union (where Russia was the dominant power) took over and occupied several countries in Europe. These included directly annexed areas and states that were made into communist vassal states behind the Iron Curtain. The following countries and territories were directly or indirectly under Soviet control and occupation: Countries directly annexed/subjugated: Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. These were incorporated into the Soviet Union as Soviet republics (the Baltic states). Vassal states (the Eastern Bloc): Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, and the Soviet occupation zone in Germany (later East Germany). Other European countries: The eastern part of Austria was also occupied by Soviet forces until 1955, after which the country became neutral. Other wars/attacks started by Russia/Soviet Union: The most notable wars and attacks include: The Hungarian Revolution (1956): Soviet forces invaded Hungary to brutally quell a popular and political uprising. Prague Spring in Czechoslovakia (1968): The Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact allies invaded Czechoslovakia to stop political reforms. The Soviet-Afghan War (1979-1989): The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan to support the communist government against Islamic insurgents. The First Chechen War (1994-1996): Russia invaded the breakaway republic of Chechnya to prevent its secession, resulting in significant civilian casualties. The Second Chechen War (1999-2009): Renewed Russian invasion and extensive military operations in Chechnya, leading to the region coming under Russian control again. The War in Georgia (2008): After prolonged tensions, Russia carried out a military attack and invasion in Georgia following unrest in the Russian-backed breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. The annexation of Crimea (2014): Russian special forces and military (without identifiable insignia) moved in and occupied the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea, which subsequently led to an illegal annexation. The Russian-Ukrainian War (2022-present): On February 24, Russia launched a comprehensive and unprovoked invasion attack on Ukraine, a war that escalated an ongoing conflict. Additionally, Russian forces and mercenaries (such as the Wagner group) have carried out smaller military interventions and support operations, including in the Syrian civil war (since 2015) and in Transnistria (Moldova) in the early 1990s. The war must of course be stopped with a fair agreement for Ukraine and Europe. This is likely only achievable if the resistance against Putin, due to poor living conditions in Russia and loss of Russian lives, becomes sufficiently large to force the criminal Putin to make concessions to the Russian populace.

Cassiopeia thanked for about 400 wishes she received on the occasion of her 36th birthday. She then addressed Mateusz Morawiecki, Przemysław Czarnek, Krzysztof Bosak, and the Institute of National Remembrance, asking why — as she claimed — for the past 10 years, as the only person on platform X, she has been effectively engaging in a historical debate with the embassies of Germany, Israel, and recently Ukraine, without receiving support from Polish state institutions.
