The CD&V is requesting clarifications from Theo Francken regarding the presence of the mine hunter Primula near Yemen after a missile interception incident, stating that no government decision had been made to justify this presence in a conflict zone. #MoyenOrient #Défense #CDV (translated)

Baloo defended the necessity of better understanding France's colonial and migratory history and called for the fight against racism. He reminded that Italians also suffered racism in France, citing the massacre of Italians in Aigues-Mortes in 1893, and that people of Asian descent were also victims of discrimination. He mentioned the experiences of several colonized peoples or recruited workers. According to him, Algeria had been colonized for 132 years and integrated into France as departments, despite unequal rights. He also stated that Algerians had been recruited to work in factories and on construction sites, sometimes in slums, and that the French army had tortured, raped, and killed civilians during the Algerian war. He wrote that Senegalese and Malians had been enlisted in the French armies, sometimes by force, before being employed in sectors such as mining and construction. He added that agreements had been signed as early as 1963 to bring in Moroccan and Tunisian workers. Baloo also mentioned colonial slavery in the Antilles and Réunion, abolished in 1848, and then the creation of BUMIDOM in 1963 to organize the departure of people to the mainland. He emphasized that these people were already French. Regarding Congo, he attributed forced labor and atrocities that would have caused millions of victims to the reign of Leopold II, King of the Belgians. He estimated that the effects of domination and exploitation persist, particularly in the inequalities in overseas territories and the debates about monetary sovereignty around the CFA franc. However, he clarified that he did not hold today's French responsible for the actions of their ancestors but deemed it necessary to understand this history. Reflecting on his childhood in Montfermeil and the documentary he had made about the town, Baloo stated that in the 1980s, the mayor refused enrollment in school for children from immigrant families. He also described neighborhoods marked, in his opinion, by degraded housing, insufficient infrastructure, and limited prospects. He believed that misery and exclusion could foster certain deviations, without excusing delinquency, and reminded that these neighborhoods also saw the emergence of professionals and artists. Finally, he denounced what he saw as a contradictory treatment of French people of immigrant descent: celebrated as French during World Cup victories but sent back to their origins when they claimed rights or denounced racism. He concluded that no one should have to justify their place in the country where they were born. #Histoire #Éducation #Racisme (translated)

You uninvite Zemmour but will continue as if nothing happened to receive Bardella, Darmanin, and Retailleau, then you will resume your radically disgusting solemn expressions to comment on the next Islamophobic and racist attack - except that from now on: we will no longer let you go. (translated)

The author wrote that mines laid for deterrence could remain in the ground for decades, giving climate change time to move them. They said flooding after the Kakhovka dam was destroyed in 2023 shifted mines and forced deminers to return to land they had already cleared. #mines #climatechange #demining #UA

The author called for EU funding to equip Bulgaria and Romania with modern warships and 100 minesweepers to clear mines, protect ports and secure maritime trade. They said Bulgaria and Romania should work with Ukraine to dominate the Black Sea and end Russia’s ability to pose a threat. https://t.co/trUJUKghH6 #Европа #Безопасност #ЧерноМоре #EU #BG #RO #UA #RU

The post claimed that Ukrainian defenders had detonated a house occupied by Russian forces in Kostiantynivka using mines placed inside it.

D. Trump often criticizes Somali immigrants in Minnesota, and last week he stated on a social network that the state's residents need to "give them a response." Personally, I have always thought that it is very corrupt. #DonaldTrump #ImigracijosKlausimai #PolitinisSusidorojimas (translated)

The publication featured a 7-minute video from François Asselineau-TV, which addressed a question raised during the live broadcast on September 30. It suggested that France could be energy independent thanks in part to nuclear power, oil in Guyana, white hydrogen in Alsace, and various mines. #Énergie #IndépendanceÉnergétique #France #FR (translated)

Georges Jordito (according to hearsay) mentioned children who worked in the mines, the young people of the Black Death, fatherless children in 1917, and schoolchildren during World War II. However, he believed that the truly cursed generation was that of people who worked from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. without air conditioning. #GénérationMaudite #Travail #Climat (translated)
