🚨 Rima Hassan has been tarnished and slandered by misleading propaganda: it was the infamous fake news about her supposed drug possession. We learn this evening in "Complément d’enquête" that the Minister of the Interior allegedly personally transmitted these falsehoods. (translated)

This is false, but anyway what is this horrible man's point? Do the grooming cases cease being an outrage after a decade? Do the victims "get over it"? Do they cease caring about the failure to protect them and pursue justice? #JusticeForVictims #GroomingAbuse #Accountability #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

I advocate for ecological socialism. This summer has proven it: climate disruption is now our reality. Inaction is costly. We will make the necessary investments to preserve our heritage and allow life to continue living. I am committed to this. (translated)

Miroslav Klose praises the character of Bayern loanee Javi Fernández and compares him to Thomas Müller and Toni Kroos: "The two players I know who were exactly like that were Thomas Müller and Toni Kroos. Müller misses three absolute sitters and then, five minutes later, he’s standing there as if nothing had happened, and then he smashes one in. Anyone else would have been dwelling on it by then. And Toni Kroos, early on at Bayern, when he played on the left wing, made a lot of mistakes and gave the ball away a lot. And when you look at what he became, he hardly ever lost the ball anymore. That’s talent. We do have to keep Javi grounded. In training, there were also two or three situations where he needs to release the ball earlier, but then he goes into the dribble again and again and tries to nutmeg his opponent. But I’m keeping a close eye on him." [@BILD] #BayernMunich #MiroslavKlose #Fussball

DR CONGO — Ebola outbreak remains severe despite signs of progress Importance: 10/10 — Critical The UN says there are encouraging signs in the fight against the Ebola outbreak, but it is still too early to declare that the epidemic has peaked. More than 7,200 confirmed cases and 3,510 deaths have been recorded across seven provinces. Daily infections have declined from around 120 at the mid-August peak to roughly 80, but North Kivu remains particularly alarming, with 555 new cases reported there in the past 21 days.

DR CONGO — Protests and clashes over proposed constitutional changes Importance: 9/10 — Very High Police used tear gas and warning shots as opposition protests spread across Kinshasa and other cities against proposed constitutional changes. Opponents fear the changes could open the way for President Félix Tshisekedi to seek a third term. The political confrontation adds another layer of instability while the country simultaneously faces the Ebola epidemic and conflict in the east.

SOUTH AFRICA / UNITED STATES — Washington imposes new visa restrictions Importance: 9/10 — Very High U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a new visa-restriction policy targeting certain foreign nationals from South Africa. Washington says the measures concern people linked to uncompensated land seizures, racial discrimination or violence against ethnic minorities. The move marks another deterioration in U.S.–South African relations following disputes over land reform, racial policy and Pretoria's foreign policy.

The talks come amid escalating Houthi military activity and growing threats to one of the world's most important maritime corridors. Egypt has a particularly strong economic interest because disruption of Red Sea traffic directly affects Suez Canal revenues.

DJIBOUTI — Yemen conflict drives growing refugee pressure across the Red Sea Importance: 8/10 — High Escalating fighting in Yemen is pushing more civilians toward Djibouti. More than 2,000 Yemenis are already there, while nearly 94,000 people have been displaced inside Yemen. A fuel shortage is temporarily slowing sea crossings, but the International Organization for Migration expects more people to attempt the journey once fuel becomes available. Djibouti's capacity to absorb additional arrivals could come under increasing pressure.

The case is significant because West and Central Africa are increasingly being used not only as drug-transit corridors but also as production hubs for synthetic narcotics.
