A natural disaster in Nepal caused by the collapse of a glacier and rock mass in Tibet affected even distant communities, depriving them of income and causing losses of loved ones that remained unseen in the eyes of international aid. (translated)

Vandaag treedt in NL het handelsverbod in werking op de invoer, aankoop en verkoop van goederen uit gedeelte van Jeruzalem, Judea en Samaria en de Golan. Deze maatregel is willekeurig en discriminerend. Nederland kiest ervoor om specifiek goederen uit deze gebieden te weren, terwijl producten uit talloze andere omstreden gebieden wereldwijd gewoon welkom blijven op de Nederlandse markt. Neem de Golanhoogte: een gebied met een fundamenteel andere historische, politieke en demografische context dan de Westelijke Jordaanoever. De VS erkenden in 2019 formeel de Israëlische soevereiniteit over de Golanhoogte. Nederland kiest er niettemin voor dit gebied onder dezelfde noemer te plaatsen. Ook de Joodse wijk in de Oude Stad van Jeruzalem, met haar eeuwenoude Joodse geschiedenis, wordt in deze benadering meegenomen. Zolang je wel Turkse dadels kunt kopen uit een land dat al decennia Noord-Cyprus bezet of Marokkaanse producten uit de Westelijke Sahara, en Chinese goederen ondanks de ernstige mensenrechtelijke kritiek rond onder meer Xinjiang en Tibet, is het niet vol te houden dat hier sprake is van een consequent toegepaste internationale rechtsnorm. Als internationaal recht werkelijk de maatstaf is, zou die maatstaf consequent en zonder selectiviteit moeten worden toegepast. Gelijke behandeling betekent dat je dezelfde maatstaf aanlegt voor iedereen. Doe je dat niet, dan verander je het recht in willekeur met een juridisch sausje. Het doet denken aan duistere tijden. Dit selectieve discriminerende handelsverbod zal als een boemerang terugkomen. Mark my words. #handelsverbod #Nederland #internationaalrecht

Questo disastro la dice lunga sul rapporto tra Cina e Tibet. Ecco perché parlare del Dalai Lama, che continua a indicare una soluzione nonviolenta e pragmatica per salvare il suo popolo, è fondamentale ancora oggi: c'è tanto da imparare.

18. září 1994 – Ze Staroměstské náměstí v Praze odjel na kole na tříletou cestu kolem světa Vítězslav Dostál, první Čech, který takovou cestu vykonal. 👍👍👍 Představa spojení bicyklu a putování přitahovala Dostála už od dětství. První kolo dostal v šesti letech. A záhy na sobě začal pracovat. Po parašutismu na konci sedmdesátých let se stal přeborníkem v triatlonu a několikanásobným držitelem titulu železný muž. Následovaly horolezecké výstupy a horské přechody v Tatrách, na Pirinu a v Rocky Mountains. Prokládal je cykloexpedicemi do evropských zemí. Když ho omrzela Evropa, ujel v roce 1990 na trase Los Angeles - New York 7500 kilometrů. A o dva roky později přes 5000 kilometrů v rozpáleném australském vnitrozemí z Darwinu do Melbourne. V témže roce projel i časovku Aš - Čierná nad Tisou. „Jsem připraven,“ prohlásil tehdy. „Dalo by se do toho šlápnout.“ Naložil si kolo a vyrazil na cestu kolem světa. Ze Staroměstského náměstí 18. září 1994. Odtud to vzal na Plzeň a potom osmapadesáti státy pěti kontinentů. Jel na upraveném kole české výroby značky Velamos. Za jízdy se naučil jíst, pít, a dokonce se převléknout. Ze sedla zvládl fotografovat, filmovat, nahrávat na diktafon i otočit kazetu. Nekonečné hodiny jízdy, to byla pro osamělého cyklistu prý i dobrá příležitost k meditaci. Během tříletého maratónu zažil zemětřesení, hurikán v Indonésii, písečné bouře v Tibetu či havárii vrtulníku v Nepálu. V Tunisku ho napadli toulaví psi, v Číně roj divokých včel, v Argentině přežil srážku s kamiónem a tři přepadení. V Brazílii zase přiotrávený výfukovými plyny neustále zvracel a hrozila mu dehydratace. Ledový vítr se mu opíral do propocených zad. Bolest byla někdy tak nesnesitelná, že se nemohl ani postavit na nohy. Ale jeho vůle vydržela vše. Stejně jako jeho kolo. Na prvních pedálech dojel až do australského Sydney. Během cesty nasadil čtyři rezervní řetězy a stejný počet sedmikoleček. Vyměnil sedm zadních kol, dvě přední a celou hromadu drátů. Cesta spolkla 28 plášťů a nespočet duší. Defektů bylo celkem 107; poslední Víťu překvapil u Berouna. Prasklý nosič, vyztužený vším, co bylo po ruce, vydržel až do Prahy. Před pomníkem mistra Jana Husa slezl vytrvalý cyklista z kola v září 1997. Našlapal 59 460 kilometrů, s cestou domů celkem 60 000. #cestování #cyklistika #historie

A China está controlando a divulgação de informações sobre as cheias no Nepal e no Tibete através da campanha Internet Limpa 2026, eliminando publicações e punindo aqueles que compartilham dados sobre a catástrofe, resultando em famílias sem notícias de entes queridos desaparecidos. #China #Nepal #ControleDeInformação
