This new report is essential reading. It reveals, in therapists' own words, how dangerous the government's draft bill to ban what it calls "conversion practices" is. It will cause untold harm to precisely the vulnerable young people it purports to protect.

Talked with @dw_chinese during my visit to Taiwan. The PRC is acting more and more aggressively. PRC is actively supporting Russia's war of aggression and stands to benefit from the war's continuation. The next two years will be particularly dangerous, which is why we should #Taiwan #PRC #Russia #TW #CN #RU
Hungary’s new neo-communist government has already done this to the country’s most popular right-wing media outlet: they nationalized it and shut it down. This is how they deal with media they don’t like. These people are dangerous. #Hungary #MediaFreedom #NeoCommunism #HU

The Deconstructionists and the Preservers The average person assumes that everyone wants the same things and merely disagrees about how to achieve them. But the social fracture we are living through is deeper: people no longer agree on what they want at all. Consider the conflicts dominating the news—crime, the border, online speech, and who raises children. Beneath each is a question rarely acknowledged: Does society corrupt human beings, or does it elevate them above their animal nature? If social constructs are oppressive, then every institution becomes suspect. Hierarchy, cultural norms, the family, and the nation appear to be cages designed to restrain a free creature. The only honest response, in this view, is to tear them down. The belief that society corrupts the individual is not fringe doctrine. It is the creed of much of the elite class governing the West. From Rousseau, who argued that man was born free until society placed him in chains, through Marx, who identified those chains as capital and class, to the postmodernists, who reduced institutions to masks for power, the thread remains unbroken. It is the philosophy of universities, the cultural industry, and the bureaucrats shaped by both. Opposing it is the older conviction of Hobbes and Hegel: that a person stripped of structure is not free, but frightened and dangerous, and that order is what improves him. Hobbes saw that without order, life becomes a war of all against all. Hegel believed that people become fully themselves through family, community, and the rational state. The divide, then, is not simply left against right. It is the deconstructionists against the preservers. The irony the demolishers never grasp is that freedom does not remain after every structure is cleared away. It requires personal responsibility as a cultural habit. When order is destroyed in the name of liberty, society begins to collapse. Something must bear the weight, and the state eventually fills the void—without moving gently. Liberty pursued through demolition produces, with grim reliability, the conditions of slavery. The deconstructionist imagines himself a liberator striking mankind’s chains. In truth, he is the architect of the cage.
AI is massively dangerous on multiple levels. Donald Trump is the only one denying this and we know why. Needs to keep the tech bubble around it inflated, to keep the markets over-inflated, so he and his mates make a lot more money. Playing with fire by now. #AI #Trump #DangersOfTech #US
“There are two ways that an agentic AI can become dangerous. The first is when they are empowered to do something bad by a human being. The second is when they develop intentions that are “misaligned” with the aims of their human creators.” Why I Changed My Mind About AI Risk #AI #AIEthics #AIAlignment #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

AFRICA DAILY REPORT — 17 SEPTEMBER 2026 Coverage: key developments reported during the previous 24 hours 1. SUDAN — UN chief demands accountability for foreign states fuelling the war Importance: 10/10 — CRITICAL UN Secretary-General António Guterres called for countries supplying weapons and other military support to Sudan’s belligerents to be held accountable. The war has displaced more than 14 million people, while a recent UN investigation says foreign weapons, technology, personnel and logistical support have enabled increasingly long-range attacks on civilians, including drone strikes. The intervention increases pressure on external actors supporting the SAF and RSF and puts foreign sponsorship of the war firmly on the agenda ahead of the UN General Assembly.

DR CONGO — Ebola response improves, but WHO warns outbreak is “far from over” Importance: 10/10 — CRITICAL WHO says containment efforts are beginning to show encouraging results, particularly in heavily affected Ituri, but the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak remains a major regional health emergency. More than 7,000 confirmed cases have been reported and the virus has reached a seventh province. High population mobility remains a major risk. More than 3,000 frontline workers have received Ervebo, although its effectiveness against the Bundibugyo strain remains uncertain and specific candidate vaccines are still being developed.

SAHEL — Jihadist violence on course for a record year Importance: 9.5/10 — VERY HIGH New ACLED data indicate that violence involving jihadist groups in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger is likely to reach a historic high in 2026. Recorded incidents involving jihadist groups rose from 63 in 2016 to 2,845 in 2025; 2,145 incidents had already been recorded this year when the latest assessment was published. JNIM and Islamic State-linked organisations are expanding their operational reach, reinforcing the Sahel’s position as the global centre of jihadist violence and increasing pressure on the region’s military governments.

SOUTH AFRICA–UNITED STATES — Pretoria rejects new US visa restrictions Importance: 9/10 — VERY HIGH South Africa sharply criticised new US visa restrictions targeting foreign nationals Washington says are responsible for racially discriminatory laws and policies. Pretoria says the US has misrepresented policies intended to address apartheid-era inequality. The dispute is another escalation in already strained US–South African relations, with Washington also excluding South Africa from the forthcoming G20 summit in Miami. Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola is heading to the US for the UN General Assembly amid the worsening diplomatic confrontation.

SOUTH SUDAN — More than one million people could lose food assistance within weeks Importance: 9/10 — VERY HIGH The World Food Programme warns that more than one million vulnerable South Sudanese could lose life-saving food and nutrition assistance by October unless additional funding is secured. Around 7.8 million people — more than half the population — struggle to obtain enough food, while 2.2 million children and 1.2 million pregnant or breastfeeding women require urgent nutritional support. WFP faces an immediate $86 million shortfall and a funding gap exceeding $400 million over the next six months.

DR CONGO — Protests over constitutional reform raise third-term fears Importance: 8.5/10 — HIGH Police used tear gas and warning shots during opposition demonstrations in Kinshasa and other cities against proposed constitutional changes. The C64 opposition coalition argues that the reforms could ultimately enable President Félix Tshisekedi to seek a third term, while the government rejects claims that it intends to undermine constitutional safeguards. The confrontation adds a serious domestic political crisis to Congo’s simultaneous Ebola emergency and continuing conflict with M23 in the east.

SOUTH SUDAN — Kiir replaces election commission chief three months before planned vote Importance: 8.5/10 — HIGH President Salva Kiir has replaced the head of South Sudan’s election commission roughly three months before elections scheduled for December. The change comes amid serious doubts over whether conditions exist for credible polls, including political violence, shrinking civic space and the collapse of key elements of the power-sharing arrangement. South Sudan has already postponed elections twice, making any further disruption politically significant.

SUDAN — West Kordofan gold mine disaster kills at least 82 Importance: 8/10 — HIGH At least 82 miners have been killed after a gold mine collapsed in West Kordofan, with around 50 injured and others potentially still trapped. Rescue teams have been working with rudimentary equipment in an area severely affected by Sudan’s war. Beyond the human toll, the disaster highlights the dangerous and weakly regulated artisanal gold sector. Gold has become increasingly important to Sudan’s wartime economy and a source of financing for armed actors.

HORN OF AFRICA — New IGAD treaty enters into force Importance: 7.5/10 — SIGNIFICANT A new treaty governing the Intergovernmental Authority on Development has entered into force following ratification by Ethiopia and four other Horn of Africa states, replacing the organisation’s 1996 institutional framework. The change is potentially important for regional coordination on conflict, economic integration, climate shocks and displacement at a time when the Horn faces simultaneous crises in Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia and the Ethiopia–Eritrea relationship.

ETHIOPIA–KENYA — Ethiopia plans to double electricity exports to Kenya Importance: 7/10 — SIGNIFICANT Ethiopia plans to increase electricity exports to Kenya from 200 MW to 400 MW from December. A joint technical committee is working on the expansion. The move strengthens East Africa’s cross-border power market and deepens the economic interdependence of two of the region’s largest economies. It also reinforces Ethiopia’s strategy of turning its expanding hydroelectric capacity into a source of regional influence and export revenue.
