Julius Böhm wrote in his analysis of the Germany Day at NIUS that the Union is doing significantly worse than a year ago. Despite their defeat at the "halt line" and the pension additional costs he calculated at 120 billion euros, the Young Union has shifted from rebellion to support for the chancellor. #Union #Politik #Deutschland (translated)

The Musonge questioned the transition of a former president, who had previously led the army and embodied the state, to armed struggle against the institutions. He asked whether this decision stemmed from violated convictions, an injustice, or a difficulty in accepting that power was held by others. The author also questioned the responsibility of this former leader in the system he had helped to construct, as well as the consequences of violence for civilians. He asked whether an injustice could justify a war and invited his readers to debate what should underlie their judgment: convictions or a refusal to lose power. #RDC #LeMusonge #PolitiqueCongolaise #PaixEnRDC #ProtectionDesCivils #ResponsabilitéPolitique #UDPS #PPRD #UNC #MLC #EnsemblePourLaRépublique #ECiDé #LGD #Leadership #Justice #DébatCitoyen #RDC #PolitiqueCongolaise #PaixEnRDC (translated)

Dr. Laetitia Muadi called for the public silence of the United States, African countries, and the international community following Joseph Kabila's latest statement not to be interpreted as a abandonment of the DRC. She believed that Congolese sovereignty and a possible strategy by the authorities could explain the lack of public statements, and warned against hasty conclusions. Muadi recalled that, in her view, the United States imposed sanctions on Kabila on April 30, 2026, accusing him of supporting the AFC/M23 and contributing to the destabilization of the DRC. She indicated that these measures included freezing assets under U.S. jurisdiction and restrictions on transactions concerning him. She also referred to UN Security Council resolutions 2773 and 2808, which she presented as reaffirming the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the DRC. She described the situation of a former head of state accused of supporting an armed rebellion as serious, while clarifying that the accusations must be substantiated. Muadi called for support for the FARDC and for an effective military and diplomatic strategy to be combined with vigilance, information verification, and national unity. #RDC #Souveraineté #Diplomatie (translated)

Press Briefs reported that on Thursday morning, students from HEC Paris had gathered in front of the school to support the angry high school students. The blockade was selective: students who had to take their exams could enter, according to the account. The day before, Jean-Luc Mélenchon had sarcastically commented on X after the government accused him of being behind the mobilization of youth in the country. He claimed that the movement of HEC Paris students had no connection to his conference at the school a week earlier, while mentioning the risk of prosecution for incitement to rebellion. Press Briefs added that the conference, published on the YouTube channel of the candidate for the 2027 presidential election, was approaching 700,000 views. #Éducation #Mobilisation #Jeunesse (translated)

Sander Sassen wrote that of the 70,000 people invited to the climate consultation, approximately 6 percent responded. According to him, a panel of 175 people was formed from that group through weighted lottery. He argued that participation in itself selected people based on interest and opinions, resulting in the panel not being a representative cross-section of the Netherlands. According to Sassen, the assignment was also limited beforehand: the consultation was not about whether climate policy should be implemented, but about its scope and ways in which the Dutch could eat, travel, and consume more climate-friendly. Documents requested through the WOO showed, according to him, that among others, Extinction Rebellion had provided input for the invitations, guiding principles, and knowledge panel. According to Sassen, critical experts were selectively fact-checked or neutralized. He concluded that the citizen consultation was therefore not a neutral democratic instrument but a process with a left-progressive and, in his view, even left-activist inclination. #Klimaatbeleid #Democratie #Feiten (translated)

"According to United Nations figures, a child is abused every 30 minutes in Congo. It has been nearly twenty months since I left Panzi Hospital. Today, with the closure of the airports in Goma and Bukavu (two cities under the administration of the AFC/M23 rebellion, Ed.), one has to go through the Rwandan capital, Kigali, to access them, which is not an alternative for me," explains Denis Mukwege, Nobel Peace Prize winner 2018. #Congo #ViolenceSexuelle #DenisMukwege (translated)
