"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. (translated)

Denis Mukwege, Nobel Peace Prize winner in 2018, speaks in Brussels about the atrocities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, revealing that according to the UN, a child is abused every 30 minutes and denouncing the inaction of the international community in the face of this crisis.

Le vieux monde a raison de craindre la colère des peuples, abusés par les marchands de vertus et leur société passoire. Des décennies endoctrinements n’ont pas réussi à embrigader les esprits. Les rentiers du système en péril vont s'autoriser tous les coups. Mais l’épouvantail de #societe #colere #justice #Thetweetdoesnotexplicitlymentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

Dites-vous que des gens ont vu les deux vidéos de Micode sur : - Les fraudes des logements sociaux - Les fraudes de la sécurité sociale Et leur réaction c’est : « Oh non, des gens abusent du système » Sans à AUCUN MOMENT conscientiser que leurs impôts financent ce merdier toujours plus dysfonctionnel et corruptible. Grand-remplaçons ces fonctionnaires et hauts-fonctionnaires incompétents par des IA. Les IA seront probablement plus sensibles au fait qu’il s’agisse de l’argent des français, ce que tout le monde semble avoir oublier. #Fraude #Système #Impôts

Para além das graves crises institucionais do STF -- corrupção maciça, abuso de poder, censura com motivação política --, há o fato de que alguns ministros do STF vivem como uma mistura de realeza e oligarcas. Parece que eles passam metade do tempo na Europa ou em Nova York, financiados por uma mistura de dinheiro público e bilionários como Vorcaro, voando em jatos particulares (como Dias Toffoli fez com o advogado petista/do Banco Master @augustodeAB, voando juntos no jato de um bilionário para assistir a um jogo de futebol no Peru dias antes de Dias Toffoli ajudar o cliente de Botelho -- e a si mesmo e a Moraes -- ao decretar sigilo absoluto sobre o caso do Banco Master). Mas veja o que Moraes está fazendo aqui. O casamento suntuoso do filho dele parece com os que príncipes europeus têm, mas aqui é financiado, direta ou indiretamente, pelo dinheiro de Vorcaro, que roubou aposentados e servidores públicos (não apenas a esposa de Moraes, mas também o filho dele receberam compromissos do valor insano de R$ 200 milhões vindo de Vorcaro/BM, após o qual Moraes usou seu poder judiciário de várias maneiras a favor deles). E aí ele põe uma mistura de capangas e valentões para fechar ruas públicas e agredir cidadãos pelo crime de gravar vídeos mostrando essa obscenidade, como qualquer ditadorzinho de meia-tigela faria no casamento do próprio filho. Qualquer pessoa envolvida nessa agressão -- os capangas e aqueles cujas ordens estavam cumprindo -- deveria ser presa. #STF #corrupção #abusedepoder

The Death of the Insult There was a time when being called an idiot was not a public-health emergency. You were called an idiot. You called the other person an idiot. Perhaps you argued, perhaps you fought, perhaps you laughed, had a beer and forgot about it. That may sound primitive. It was also a social technology. In traditional honor culture, an insult was a challenge: if someone attacked your status, you were expected to answer. Men in particular developed cultures of teasing, mockery and competitive abuse in which the ability to give and take an insult could itself demonstrate confidence. Then came dignity culture, with a liberating idea: you don’t have to care what everyone thinks of you. An insult does not necessarily diminish you. Someone else’s contempt does not become your inferiority simply because they express it. Now something else is emerging. Sociologists Bradley Campbell and Jason Manning describe victimhood culture, in which interpersonal offences increasingly become public grievances. The offended party seeks recognition, an audience and sometimes institutional intervention. The old question was: “Are you going to say that to my face?” The dignity question was: “Why should I care what you think?” The new question increasingly seems to be: “Who can I report this to?” This may illuminate an uncomfortable gender difference. Men have historically been more permitted to insult and confront one another directly, while women have often had greater incentives to avoid direct confrontation and use social pressure, criticism and complaint. Neither pattern is exclusively male or female, but cultural habits matter. The danger is a society so determined to protect people from offence that it forgets to teach them how to withstand it. There is a difference between being harmed and being insulted, between injustice and discomfort, and between demanding justice and demanding that nobody make you uncomfortable. We may have travelled from honor, to dignity, to grievance. And perhaps the most subversive sentence left is also the simplest: “Yes, he insulted you. So what?”

Abuse of power in Poland takes many forms. Using public office to rewrite history is one of them. Nearly twenty years ago, historians Sławomir Cenckiewicz and Piotr Gontarczyk assembled evidence identifying Lech Wałęsa as “Bolek”, a secret informant for the communist Security #Poland #History #AbuseOfPower #PL

AFRICA DAILY REPORT — 22 SEPTEMBER 2026 Key developments reported during the previous 24 hours 1. ETHIOPIA — Seven armed opposition groups form a new anti-government alliance — 10/10 (Critical) Seven Ethiopian armed groups, including factions from Tigray, Amhara, Oromia, Afar and Benishangul-Gumuz, announced the Ethiopian Peoples' Forces Alliance for Survival. The coalition brings together groups that previously fought on opposing sides, including the TPLF and Amhara Fano elements. Its stated aim is to challenge Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government. The development is particularly significant amid renewed clashes and tensions around the 2022 Pretoria peace framework.

MALI — Sources say more than 100 soldiers were killed in JNIM's Dioura attack — 10/10 (Critical) Reuters reports that the September 10 assault by al-Qaeda-linked JNIM on the Dioura military camp killed more than 100 Malian soldiers, substantially above earlier reported figures. Sources cited estimates of roughly 120–130 soldiers killed and more than 100 captured. JNIM has also maintained pressure around Sévaré and Konna, underscoring the deteriorating security position of Mali's military government and its Russian Africa Corps partners.

DR CONGO — Amnesty accuses M23 of abuses and mineral trafficking at rebel-controlled mines — 9.5/10 (Very High) Amnesty International says M23 fighters committed abuses including torture, forced labour and killings at artisanal mining sites in eastern DRC and trafficked gold and coltan through Rwanda. The allegations are strategically important because control of mineral production and trade is central to the economics of the eastern Congo conflict. M23 and Rwanda had not responded to the allegations in the reports reviewed.

NIGERIA — Survivors describe circumstances surrounding deaths of 37 detainees in Minna — 9/10 (Very High) Reuters interviewed survivors of the detention incident in Niger State in which 37 detainees, many reportedly teenage artisanal gold miners, died after being held in an overcrowded cell. Survivors alleged that an unidentified substance was sprayed inside before detainees developed breathing difficulties and began collapsing. Authorities have not established the cause of death. President Bola Tinubu has ordered an investigation and officials have been suspended.

DR CONGO — Ebola crisis remains a major health emergency as vaccination research expands — 9/10 (Very High) Health authorities are expanding vaccination efforts while research continues into protection against the Bundibugyo strain driving the current outbreak. WHO has reported some progress in the response, but the epidemic remains far from over. CARE warned on September 21 that the Ebola emergency is intersecting with humanitarian pressures and the threat of El Niño-related disruption.

Source: Sudan Tribune: https://sudantribune.com/article/319088 7. SUDAN — Another deadly gold-mine collapse highlights wartime mining risks — 8/10 (High) At least 11 miners were reported killed and around 30 injured after a mine shaft collapsed in northeastern Sudan. It was the second major informal-mine disaster reported within a week. Sudan's largely informal gold sector suffers from weak safety regulation, while gold production and smuggling also intersect with the financing of armed actors in the country's civil war.
