Brian Moreland recently made waves on Broadway as a producer of the groundbreaking revival of Othello, starring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, and directed by Tony Award winner Kenny Leon. The production shattered box office records, becoming the highest-grossing play revival in global history. His impressive repertoire includes the Broadway revival of The Wiz, starring Wayne Brady and Deborah Cox; August Wilson's The Piano Lesson, directed by LaTanya Richardson Jackson and starring Samuel L. Jackson, Danielle Brooks, and John David Washington — which became the highest-grossing revival of the season; The Lifespan of a Fact, featuring Cherry Jones, Daniel Radcliffe, and Bobby Cannavale; Sea Wall / A Life, a moving dual narrative with Jake Gyllenhaal and Tom Sturridge; and The Sound Inside, a compelling drama headlined by Mary-Louise Parker. Hailing from California, Brian now calls New York City home, where he continues to shape the cultural landscape through his visionary storytelling and unwavering passion for the performing arts. His dedication to accessibility and equity in theatre is reflected in his active role with the Theatre Development Fund (TDF), an organization committed to expanding access to live performance. A respected leader within the industry, Brian serves on the Board of Governors of The Broadway League, where he also co-chairs the Multicultural Task Force, advocating for greater diversity and inclusion across the theatre community. He also holds leadership roles as a Board Director for NYC Tourism and Conventions, a Trustee of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, and a Trustee of The American Academy of Dramatic Arts, where he helps support and guide the next generation of performing artists. In recognition of his impactful contributions, Brian has been honored with the Board of Directors Distinguished Service Award by the Audelco Awards and acknowledged by the Theatre Communications Group (TCG) for his continued service to the field. Through his compelling productions and steadfast leadership, Moreland has established himself as a transformative force in contemporary theatre. His work not only entertains but also uplifts and challenges audiences, enriching the cultural narrative with stories that reflect the depth, diversity, and complexity of the human experience.Joe Turner's Come and Gone is lead produced by Brian Anthony Moreland with casting by ARC Casting. 101 Productions, Ltd. is serving as general managers.For additional information, please sign up at www.JoeTurnerBway.comConnect with Brian Anthony Moreland:Website: https://www.bmorenowproductions.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealbrianmoreland/?hl=en TurnKey Podcast Productions Important Links:Guest to Gold Video Series: www.TurnkeyPodcast.com/gold The Ultimate Podcast Launch Formula- www.TurnkeyPodcast.com/UPLFplusFREE workshop on how to "Be A Great Guest."Free E-Book 5 Ways to Make Money Podcasting at www.Turnkeypodcast.com/gift Ready to earn 6-figures with your podcast?

Rik Emmett, Mike Levine, and Gil Moore blended virtuoso musicianship, soaring melodies, and uplifting anthems (including "Lay It On the Line," "Fight the Good Fight," and "Hold On") to define arena rock in the late 70's and '80s. With 16 albums, 25 Gold and Platinum awards, and legendary live shows, Triumph became global superstars, highlighted by co-headlining the US Festival before nearly 500,000 fans. Honored with numerous Hall of Fame inductions and lifetime awards, Triumph's 50-year legacy remains a towering force in rock history. The five-day charity event is a national partner of Make-a-Wish, and has raised more than $7 million since its inception. The centerpiece of the event is the exotic car concours, set in the Disney-developed town of Celebration, Florida. The show features over 300 rare exotic cars, including Pagani, Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Aston Martin, Lotus and more, in addition to race cars and iconic Hollywood movie cars. The event is heavily supported by the Hollywood and sports communities. Chris “Shooter McGavin” McDonald, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Ernie Hudson, John Stamos, Patrick Warburton, Jay Leno, Jim Kelly, Johnny Bench, Johnny Damon, Daniel Baldwin, Paul Teutul Sr., Corey Feldman, Joey Fatone, Arsenio Hall and many others have attended.

In this week's episode I explain the difference between State Conventions and County Designations. The state has direct ballot access while county designees still have to get petitions. This is the first step in determining the ballot each year so I take some time to go over it. Enjoy.

Following five years of research and consultations, the ICRC published a new, updated Commentary on the Fourth Geneva Convention (GC IV) of 1949 in October 2025. GC IV is the cornerstone of protection for civilians in international armed conflict and occupation – protections that remain urgently relevant amid patterns of urban warfare, strikes on essential services, and persistent harm to people who are not, or are no longer, taking part in hostilities. The 2025 Commentary, following the interpretive methodology outlined in the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, consolidates seven decades of practice, jurisprudence, and operational experience into a practical guide to applying GC IV's safeguards effectively today. Over the coming weeks, we are delighted to co-host a joint symposium with the editors of Just Security and EJIL:Talk!, sharing expert contributions on selected topics addressed in the updated ICRC Commentary on the Fourth Geneva Convention. We hope this analysis will help shed light on important aspects of the Fourth Convention that are explored in depth in the updated Commentary, outline developments in law, technology and language since 1949, and give readers an idea of what has changed since the initial ICRC Commentary on this Convention was published in 1958. As Jean-Marie Henckaerts highlights below, a good faith interpretation and application of the Fourth Convention is indispensable: “it keeps interpretation anchored in the Conventions' object and purpose, ensuring that their protective spirit prevails over technical evasions.” His following post, initially published on 21 October 2025, serves as an introduction both to the updated Commentary and to this symposium.

Limberlost Release New Single "Give it to Me(Redux)"New EP Villian Due Out Later This Year! Interview with Limberlost. Steve Unger is in the band. He is formerly of metal Church and AutographExplosive. Fierce. Unapologetic. Limberlost kicks off 2026 with a re-imagined version of their 2023 only released in Europe, fan-favorite anthem "Give it to Me", transforming it into a modern rock powerhouse that hits harder than ever. Reborn from its original roots, this version fuses high-energy guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and powerhouse vocals that redefine the band's signature sound. “Give It to Me (Redux)” is a declaration of strength, passion, and pure rock 'n' roll adrenaline — a sonic punch that dares listeners to take back their Power and Claim what's theirs. With production that's both cinematic and raw, it bridges classic rock intensity with a cutting-edge alternative edge, appealing to fans of Halestorm, Evanescence, Linkin Park, and The Pretty Reckless.Lyrically, the song captures the hunger for authenticity and emotional connection in a world of noise and distraction — a cry for something real and uncompromising. Backed by their acclaimed new album Beautiful Scars, three SMR Top 50 singles, and 2 award winning videos with over a million views each, Limberlost proves once again that their fire only burns hotter with time.Turn it up, feel the pulse, and demand it all — this is “Give It to Me” like you've never heard it before.Limberlost is a powerhouse American rock band delivering a bold fusion of modern and classic rock with soaring vocals, electrifying guitar riffs, and thunderous rhythms. Known for their anthemic sound, raw energy, and emotionally charged storytelling, they create music that resonates with fans of classic rock legends and contemporary rock revivalists alike. Their songs capture themes of strength, resilience, and empowerment, making them a force in the rock scene. With a commanding stage presence and dynamic compositions, Limberlost is redefining female-fronted rock, bringing authenticity, passion, and rock authority to audiences worldwide. Limberlost's rise is backed by Paul Crosby Management, led by Paul Crosby, drummer of the multi-platinum rock band Saliva. His industry expertise and strategic vision have positioned the band for massive success in today's rock landscape.Limberlost is known for their captivating female led vocals. Leads Brittany Lauren and Sammie Gorham both classically trained and accomplished opera singers that bring their beauty, power and precision to cut through rock's sometimes predictable expectations.Adding to their momentum is the recent addition of Metal Hall of Fame bass player Steve Unger, known for his work with legendary bands Metal Church and Autograph. His veteran stage presence and technical prowess bring a new depth to Limberlost's already dynamic sound, elevating their live performances and recording capabilities to the next level.If that's not enough the addition of Steve's son Devon Unger on Lead Guitar. Not only can his melodies mesmerize, and his shredding solos make you want to scream “Hell Ya!” but he will have the ladies eating out of his hands. Wrap it up with Anthony Ciarochi on Keys and Mike Burt (Founder) on drums.

DON McLEAN MARKS THE 55TH ANNIVERSARY OF “AMERICAN PIE” AS THE SURF BALLROOM ANNOUNCES A 2027 LIFE SIZE BRONZE STATUE HONORING THE ICONIC SINGER SONGWRITERStatue will be installed at the legendary venue where Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson played their final showCLEAR LAKE, Ia. (February 3, 2026) — Fifty five years after its release, Don McLean's “American Pie” remains one of the most enduring anthems in American music — a sweeping, eight minute epic that captured a nation in transition and immortalized the phrase “the day the music died.” Today, as “American Pie” turns 55 (1971–2026), McLean is celebrating the milestone on tour while also helping propel a new chapter of preservation at the Surf Ballroom & Museum in Clear Lake, Iowa.The Surf Ballroom — the National Historic Landmark where Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson performed on February 2, 1959 as part of the Winter Dance Party tour — announced that a life size bronze statue honoring McLean will be erected on-site in 2027. The statue will stand as a permanent tribute to the songwriter whose work helped carry the story of that night into global cultural memory, bridging generations of listeners, historians and music fans.The new statue is inspired from an existing life size bronze portrait created by acclaimed sculptor Zenos Frudakis (Philadelphia). Originally completed in 1989, the portrait was featured on the cover of McLean's album ‘Classics'. Frudakis, an acclaimed portrait sculptor and lifelong friend of McLean, is known the world over for his statues of Muhammad Ali, Nina Simone, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and many more. He is creating an entirely new statue for public display at the Surf, adding a new landmark for visitors to the historic ballroom and its adjacent museum experiences. The announcement comes on February 3 on the heels of the 2026 Winter Dance Party at the Surf — the anniversary of the 1959 plane crash that claimed the lives of Holly, Valens and Richardson — a date forever intertwined with McLean's songwriting.“The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation is thrilled that one of our most iconic ambassadors is being honored with a statue at The Surf Ballroom, the site of Buddy Holly's final performance,” said Rick French, chairman of The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation and a national trustee of the famed Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “While American Pie was famously inspired by the plane crash that claimed the lives of Buddy, Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson on February 3, 1959 , it has stood for more than half a century as an anthem to the cultural shifts of our country and is as relevant today as it has ever been.”The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation (TBHEF) works to extend musical education — including songwriting, production, arranging, orchestration and performance — to new generations regardless of income or learning levels. The Foundation also supports emerging artists through mentoring and songwriting retreats, and its Ambassadors receive a replica of Buddy Holly's own Gibson J 45 to encourage new music in his memory.“To this day Don remains one of Maria Elena Holly's closest friends and she was overjoyed to learn a statue is being cast in his honor,” added Peter Bradley, Jr., vice chairman of The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation, who is working closely with McLean, his management team and Jeff Nichols at the Surf Ballroom to plan a blockbuster unveiling of the statue upon completion.First opened in 1933 (and rebuilt in 1948 after a fire), the Surf Ballroom continues to host concerts and special events year round and welcomes visitors to explore the site's museum offerings. In recent years, the Surf expanded its educational mission with new immersive experiences honoring the artists and cultural moments that shaped early rock 'n' roll — ensuring that the ‘Winter Dance Party' story is preserved not only as history, but as a living, visitable place.DON McLEAN 2026 TOUR DATES (SUBJECT TO CHANGE):Fri, Feb 06 — Lobero Theatre — Santa Barbara, Calif.Sat, Feb 07 — Saban Theatre — Beverly Hills, Calif.Fri, Mar 20 — Seminole Casino Hotel Immokalee — Immokalee, Fla.Sat, Mar 21 — Maxwell C.

Urdu Friday Sermon delivered by Khalifa-tul-Masih on February 13th, 2026 (audio)

"How can you not be a populist in this day and age?" — Hélène LandemoreIn February 2020, The New Yorker profiled a Yale professor making the case for citizen rule. Six years later, that political scientist, Hélène Landemore, has a new book entitled Politics Without Politicians arguing that politics should be "an amateur sport instead of an expert's job" and that randomly selected citizen assemblies should replace representative democracy. Landemore calls it "jury duty on steroids."Landemore draws on her experience observing France's Citizens' Conventions on both climate and end-of-life issues to now direct Connecticut's first state-level citizen assembly. We discuss why the Greeks used lotteries instead of elections, what G.K. Chesterton meant by imagining democracy as a "jolly hostess," and why she has sympathy for the anti-Federalists who lost the argument about the best form of American government to Madison. When I ask if she's comfortable being called a populist, she doesn't flinch: "If the choice is between populist and elitist, I don't know how you can not be a populist." From the Damon Wells'58 Professor of Political Science at Yale, this might sound a tad suicidal. At least professionally. But Landemore's jolly argument for a politics without politicians is the type of message that will win elections in our populist age.About the GuestHélène Landemore is the Damon Wells'58 Professor of Political Science at Yale University. She is the author of Politics Without Politicians: The Case for Citizen Rule (2026) and Open Democracy: Reinventing Popular Rule for the Twenty-First Century (2020).ReferencesThinkers discussed:●      G.K. Chesterton was the British essayist who defined democracy as an "attempt, like that of a jolly hostess, to bring the shy people out"—a vision Landemore finds more inspiring than technical definitions about elite selection.●      James Madison and the Federalists designed a republic meant to filter popular passions through elected representatives; Landemore has sympathy for their anti-Federalist opponents who wanted legislatures that looked like "a mini-portrait of the people."●      Alexis de Tocqueville warned about the dangers of trusting ordinary people—a caution Landemore pushes back against, arguing that voters respond to the limited choices they're given.●      Max Weber wrote "Politics as a Vocation" (1919), arguing that politics requires a special calling; Landemore questions whether it should be a profession at all.●      Jean-Jacques Rousseau and his concept of the general will has been blamed for totalitarian impulses; Landemore rejects the comparison, insisting her vision preserves liberal constitutional frameworks.●      Joseph Schumpeter defined democracy as "a method for elite selection"—precisely the technocratic framing Landemore wants to overturn.Citizen assembly experiments mentioned:●      The Irish Citizens' Assembly on abortion (2016-2017) is often cited as proof that randomly selected citizens can deliberate on divisive issues and reach workable conclusions.●      The French Citizens' Convention on End-of-Life (2022-2023) found common ground between pro- and anti-euthanasia factions by focusing on palliative care—a case Landemore observed firsthand.●      The French Citizens' Convention for Climate (2019-2020) brought 150 randomly selected citizens together to propose climate policy; participants were paid 84-95 Euros per day.●      The Connecticut citizen assembly on local public services, planned for summer 2026, will be the first state-level citizen assembly in the United States. Landemore is directing its design.Also mentioned:●      Zephyr Teachout is the left-wing populist who called Landemore a "reluctant populist."●      Oliver Hart (Harvard) and Luigi Zingales (Chicago) are economists working with Landemore to apply the citizen assembly model to corporate governance reform.●      The Council of 500 was the Athenian deliberative body whose members were selected by lottery, with a rotating chair appointed daily.●      John Stuart Mill is the liberal theorist whose emphasis on minority rights raises the question of whether Landemore's majoritarianism is illiberal. She says no.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States—hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic. With nearly 2,800 episodes since the show launched on TechCrunch in 2010, Keen On America is the most prolific intellectual interview show in the history of podcasting.WebsiteSubstackYouTubeApple PodcastsSpotifyChapters:(00:00) - Chapter 1 (00:00) - Six years from New Yorker profile to book (01:14) - Politics as amateur sport (02:08) - What the Greeks got right (04:03) - Citizen assemblies: jury duty on steroids (06:21) - The Yale professor who speaks for ordinary people (07:11) - Rousseau and the age of innocence (08:41) - The gerontocracy problem (09:33) - Do we need a communitarian impulse?

Pipeman interviews horror/industrial metal band Horror Scene. Our music blends aggressive metal with horror storytelling, characters, and cinematic themes. We'd love to come on your podcast to talk horror influences, creating dark characters through music, and the intersection of horror films and metal.Welcome to Your HellHorror Scene emerged from the underground of Harrisburg, PA with one mission: to turn fear into music. Formed by a group of musicians obsessed with horror cinema, psychological thrillers, serial killers and the darker edges of industrial metal and rock, the band fuses theatrical storytelling with heavy, atmospheric soundscapes. Their songs explore themes of dread, hauntings, obsession, and the monsters—real or imagined—that live inside us all.On stage, Horror Scene transforms the venue into their own chilling universe. Fog, distorted visuals, blood-red lights, and immersive sound design create a multisensory experience that blurs the line between concert and horror film. Their electrifying live shows have earned them a fiercely loyal fanbase drawn to the adrenaline, the spectacle, and the catharsis. Touring the US with such acts like Soulfly has helped the band have a better understanding of how to adjust to a crowd to give them the best entrainment experience the band has to offer.Musically, Horror Scene pulls inspiration from industrial metal, gothic rock, modern metalcore, and classic horror film scores. The result is a sound that blends cinematic tension with explosive energy: pounding drums, razor-sharp guitars, haunting synths, and vocals that shift from melodic to monstrous. Working with Producer Daniel Malsch has helped the band develop their sound into something unique with a twist.Click Here to Subscribe to The Adventures of Pipeman for PERKS, BONUS Content & FREE GIVEWAYS! Pipeman in the Pit is a music, festival, and interview segment of The Adventures of Pipeman Radio Show (#pipemanradio) and from The King of All Festivals while on The Pipeman Radio Tour.Pipeman in the Pit features all kinds of music and interviews with bands & music artists especially in the genres of Heavy Metal, Rock, Hard Rock, Classic Rock, Punk Rock, Goth, Industrial, Alternative, Thrash Metal & Indie Music.

Today, rock icon JOHN CORABI is pleased to share his new single "When I Was Young," taken from his upcoming debut full-length solo album 'New Day,' due out on April 24, 2026 via Frontiers Music Srl. "When I Was Young" arrives alongside an official visualizer, available below.‘New Day' marks JOHN CORABI's first full-length solo album of original material. Recorded in Nashville during the summer of 2025 and produced by multi-platinum songwriter and producer Marti Frederiksen (Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Buckcherry), the album fuses classic '70s rock, soul, and blues influences into a sound that feels both timeless and deeply personal.The record features the previously released singles “Così Bella (So Beautiful)” (2021) and “Your Own Worst Enemy” (2022), now presented as part of a rich collection of tracks that spotlight his commanding vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and masterful songwriting. Throughout the album, CORABI is joined by Marti Frederiksen, who adds backing vocals, guitars, piano, and percussion; Evan Frederiksen on drums, bass, B3 organ, electric guitar, mandolin, and programming; Richard Fortus (Guns N' Roses) on lead guitar; Paul Taylor (Winger, Steve Perry) contributing piano, organ, and clavinet, as well as Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke) offering guitar solos. Together, they create an organic, instrument-driven sound built on real performances, melodic interplay, and soulful energy.With a European tour planned for February/March 2026 and additional shows running through late spring and summer, CORABI is poised to bring this new music directly to fans, delivering both powerful live energy and genuine emotional resonance. More than just a solo debut, ‘New Day' serves as CORABI's personal testament to rock's enduring spirit—an exploration of melody, soul, and authenticity, played with passion and conviction at every turn.Click Here to Subscribe to The Adventures of Pipeman for PERKS, BONUS Content & FREE GIVEWAYS! Pipeman in the Pit is a music, festival, and interview segment of The Adventures of Pipeman Radio Show (#pipemanradio) and from The King of All Festivals while on The Pipeman Radio Tour.Pipeman in the Pit features all kinds of music and interviews with bands & music artists especially in the genres of Heavy Metal, Rock, Hard Rock, Classic Rock, Punk Rock, Goth, Industrial, Alternative, Thrash Metal & Indie Music.

En janvier 2025, la Monusco est confrontée à une double mission : protéger les civils tout en assurant la sécurité de son propre personnel, pris dans cinq jours d'affrontements intenses. Vivian van de Perre est la représentante spéciale adjointe du secrétaire général des Nations unies pour la protection et les opérations de la Monusco et en est la cheffe par intérim. Elle se trouvait à Goma au moment des combats. Un an après, comment a-t-elle personnellement vécu cette bataille ? Elle répond aux questions de Patient Ligodi. RFI : Un an après la prise de la ville par l'AFC/M23, comment avez-vous personnellement vécu cette bataille et ces moments de bascule pour la Monusco ? Vivian van de Perre : Merci beaucoup pour la question. La bataille de Goma, en janvier 2025, nous ne l'oublierons jamais, qu'il s'agisse de la population, des combattants des deux camps ou des Casques bleus eux-mêmes. C'est la bataille la plus intense que nous ayons connue dans l'est du pays, de par son ampleur. Elle n'a absolument rien de comparable avec la prise de Goma en 2012. Cette fois-ci, il s'agissait d'une bataille urbaine intense et prolongée. Ces journées ont été un choc par leur intensité et par ce qu'elles ont signifié pour la population de Goma et pour la mission de la Monusco, dont le mandat est de protéger les civils. Dans la ville, le sentiment immédiat n'était pas celui de considérations géopolitiques abstraites, mais celui de l'urgence. Le bruit et l'impact continus des armes légères et lourdes, la pression exercée par l'arrivée massive de civils et de personnels en uniforme venus chercher refuge dans les bases de la Monusco et la responsabilité, au milieu de tout cela, de maintenir nos Casques bleus opérationnels et concentrés malgré les risques auxquels ils étaient eux-mêmes exposés, ont constitué un véritable défi. Le 28 janvier, vous vous en souvenez peut-être, je faisais un briefing devant le Conseil de sécurité. La bataille de Goma n'était pas encore terminée. Mais la nuit, l'intensité diminuait en raison de l'obscurité. J'ai donc pu informer le Conseil depuis Goma et leur dire que la violence devait cesser immédiatement, car la situation échappait à tout contrôle d'une manière susceptible d'entraîner l'ensemble de la région dans un conflit encore plus profond. On avait vraiment le sentiment qu'il s'agissait d'un moment ou tout pouvait basculer et c'est la crainte qu'on avait. Nos bases — les bases de la Monusco — étaient touchées, tout comme les résidences de notre personnel. Et bien sûr, l'ensemble de la population civile de Goma et de ses environs était également affectée. Nous avons été pris dans des tirs croisés. Il ne s'agissait pas d'une attaque directe contre l'ONU, mais nous étions pris dans les tirs croisés. Dans le même temps, nous recevions des civils et des personnels de sécurité qui avaient besoin de protection, dans toutes nos bases — dans nos bases militaires autour de Goma, comme dans nos bases civiles. Il y avait donc un véritable sentiment d'urgence et une intensité sans précédent. Mais un an plus tard, dispose-t-on aujourd'hui d'un rapport consolidé du nombre de civils tués à Goma lors de cette bataille de janvier 2025 ? Et quelles sont les principales difficultés pour documenter ces chiffres aujourd'hui ? On n'a pas véritablement de chiffres précis. Le brouillard de la guerre est tel qu'il est très difficile d'établir un bilan civil pleinement consolidé et vérifié de manière indépendante, car les combats actifs ont tout perturbé — l'accès aux sites, aux dossiers médicaux, les hôpitaux étaient débordés, les communications coupées, et les conditions nécessaires pour mener des vérifications en toute sécurité n'étaient pas réunies. En outre, les gens avaient peur. Ils craignaient d'être ciblés. L'intimidation des survivants et des témoins représentait un risque réel. Il y a ensuite eu des déplacements de population, à la fois volontaires et fortement encouragés, voire forcés, ce qui compliquait les recherches. Les familles se déplaçaient. Par ailleurs, pour des raisons sanitaires, les corps étaient très rapidement collectés et mis en terre afin d'éviter la propagation de maladies transmissibles. À cela s'ajoute le fait que, puisque nous combattions aux côtés du gouvernement de la RDC pendant la bataille de Goma, nous étions à ce moment-là considérés comme une partie au conflit. Nous n'avions donc pas la liberté de mouvement et ne pouvions pas circuler librement. Il est donc difficile de se prononcer avec précision. Les estimations varient largement. C'est pourquoi nous souhaitons soutenir l'intervention d'un organe indépendant, comme la commission d'enquête récemment créée par le Conseil des droits de l'Homme, afin qu'elle devienne opérationnelle avec des ressources adéquates et, surtout, qu'elle bénéficie d'un accès sans restriction. La Monusco est prête à les soutenir, ainsi que d'autres mécanismes nationaux, pour enquêter sur ces incidents graves, prévenir les récidives et rendre justice aux victimes, le moment venu. Qu'est-ce qui a été, selon vous, déterminant dans la chute de Goma ? Au-delà des faiblesses connues des forces congolaises, quel a été concrètement le rôle de la Monusco face à l'avancée de l'AFC/M23 appuyé par l'armée rwandaise ? Qu'est-ce qui a fait que très rapidement, Goma s'est retrouvé dans une situation où l'AFC/M23 n'a pas trouvé de résistance armée, alors qu'il y avait la SADC (Communauté de développement de l'Afrique australe), la Monusco, les FARDC, les Wazalendo… Oui, nous nous étions préparés à l'éventualité que Goma soit attaquée. Mais je tiens à réaffirmer que ce M23 n'est pas le même que celui de 2012. Le qualifier simplement de groupe armé ou de groupe rebelle ne rend pas compte du niveau d'équipement et d'organisation qu'il a atteint. Et comme nous le savons tous, il bénéficie du soutien de pays voisins, ce qui a été largement établi par différents rapports. Il ne s'agissait donc pas tant d'un combat contre un groupe rebelle que d'un affrontement qui ressemblait presque à un conflit entre deux armées conventionnelles. L'ampleur des combats était sans précédent. Nous étions désavantagés dans l'utilisation de nos technologies en raison du brouillage très actif des signaux GPS pendant la bataille — et, soit dit en passant, cela se poursuit encore aujourd'hui —, ce qui nous empêchait d'utiliser nos hélicoptères et nos drones. Nous ne pouvions pas utiliser nos équipements technologiques. Et l'ampleur de l'attaque était considérable. J'ai également vu autour de l'aéroport des combats extrêmement violents. Ce n'est pas comme si le M23 était simplement entré et avait pris le contrôle, comme en 2012. C'était une bataille extrêmement intense. J'ai vu les forces gouvernementales se battre très violemment à l'aéroport et subir de lourdes pertes. Cela nous amène à réfléchir aux leçons à tirer. Tout d'abord, il y a eu un mépris répété des décisions prises par le Conseil de sécurité, par l'Union africaine, par la Communauté d'Afrique de l'Est et par la SADC, pour n'en citer que quelques-unes. Tous ont cherché à empêcher une escalade du conflit. Le Conseil de sécurité a adopté la résolution 2773 après la chute de Goma. Cependant, cela n'a pas empêché l'extension du conflit, qui s'est poursuivi jusqu'à Bukavu, qui est également tombée — même si ce ne fut pas à l'issue d'une bataille aussi intense que celle de Goma. De même, la signature récente de l'accord de Washington n'a pas empêché la prise d'Uvira. Deuxièmement, tout processus de paix qui n'est pas ancré dans les droits humains et dans la protection des civils est fragile dès le départ. Il faut considérer la protection des droits humains comme une mesure de confiance. Sans s'attaquer, au moins en partie, aux causes profondes du conflit et si l'on cherche à régler les différends sur le champ de bataille, ce conflit se poursuivra. Et il est évidemment impératif de l'empêcher. La primauté de la médiation et des accords négociés est donc absolument centrale. La solution à la situation dans l'est du pays ne réside pas dans une nouvelle guerre, ni sur le champ de bataille. Protéger les civils et votre propre personnel : qu'est-ce qui a été le plus difficile à gérer ? La partie la plus difficile a été de gérer deux urgences simultanément : protéger les civils dans une ville en proie à de violents combats et assurer la sécurité ainsi que la continuité de nos opérations. Heureusement, nous avions évacué la plupart du personnel non-essentiel hors de Goma. Lorsque j'ai informé le Conseil depuis Goma, j'ai été très claire : certains de nos sites étaient affectés et nous accueillions un grand nombre de personnes venues y chercher refuge. Sur le plan opérationnel, cela implique des décisions complexes, prises minute par minute : où renforcer les dispositifs, comment sécuriser les emprises, comment maintenir la coordination humanitaire et appuyer les partenaires, sans accroître les risques pour les civils autour de nos sites. Un exemple concret de ce que signifie notre mandat de protection dans la pratique est ce qui s'est passé après la chute de Goma. Entre 2 000 et 3 000 militaires désarmés des FARDC et de la Police nationale congolaise, ainsi que plusieurs civils de haut profil, ont trouvé refuge dans les bases de la Monusco à Goma en janvier et y sont restés pendant quatre mois. À partir du 30 avril 2025, nous avons mené une opération visant à relocaliser en toute sécurité 1 359 d'entre eux vers Kinshasa, en étroite coordination avec le CICR en tant qu'intermédiaire neutre, et en étroite concertation avec le gouvernement de la RDC, en veillant au respect de la sécurité, de la dignité et de la neutralité tout au long du processus. Cette opération a été conduite avec le consentement éclairé des personnes concernées et dans le strict respect des Conventions de Genève. Pendant plus de trois mois, nous avons assuré une protection physique, un hébergement, des soins médicaux et une alimentation à ces personnes placées sous notre responsabilité, alors même que nous n'étions pas équipés pour accueillir un nombre aussi élevé de personnes et que des maladies transmissibles se sont déclarées en raison de la surpopulation. Nous nous souvenons que les 23 et 24 janvier 2025, les positions de la Monusco et de la SAMI-DRC, la force de la SADC, ont été prises pour cibles. Deux Casques bleus sud-africains, ainsi qu'un Casque bleu uruguayen, ont été tués. Un an plus tard, quel est le bilan au niveau des Nations unies ? Dans ces incidents, comme dans tant d'autres où des Congolais et d'autres personnes ont perdu la vie – et ils étaient très majoritairement congolais – des biens ont été détruits et de nombreuses personnes ont été blessées. Nous continuons à appeler et soutenir les efforts afin de déterminer les responsabilités dans ce qu'il s'est passé. Ces pertes humaines et matérielles ont été rapportées au Conseil de sécurité, et la position générale des Nations unies est claire : l'ONU ne peut jamais être attaquée directement. Nous étions impliqués dans le conflit au début de l'offensive du M23. Mais les attaques délibérées contre les Casques bleus sont inacceptables et peuvent constituer de graves violations du droit international. Nous continuons donc à soutenir la documentation et la préservation des informations, dans la mesure du possible. Mais établir les responsabilités dépend très largement de l'accès, de la coopération et de la capacité des autorités compétentes à enquêter sur ces incidents de manière crédible et en toute sécurité. Nous continuons à plaider pour que ces conditions soient réunies. Nous avons également renforcé – et continuons de renforcer – les mesures de protection pour les Casques bleus et les civils, car notre devoir immédiat est d'empêcher de nouvelles pertes en vies humaines, qu'il s'agisse de nos propres personnels ou des civils pris dans les tirs croisés. Normalement, la justice met du temps à être rendue. Elle est lente, mais elle finit par rattraper les responsables. Nous l'avons vu dans d'autres contextes. Mais pourquoi a-t-on l'impression que la région des Grands Lacs est la seule où des Casques bleus peuvent être attaqués, où des hélicoptères de la Monusco peuvent être détruits, sans clarification, sans explication, sans suivi judiciaire, sans sanctions ? Pourquoi ? La première étape est d'arrêter les combats dans l'est. Après cela, il y aura le temps d'examiner toutes ces questions. Car il est bien sûr inacceptable qu'une mission de maintien de la paix, décidée à l'unanimité par 193 États membres et financée par ces mêmes États, soit empêchée de faire correctement son travail. Je tiens également à souligner que la Monusco est la seule à être encore présente sur le terrain. De nombreux autres acteurs armés et divers groupes ont quitté l'est, qui est aujourd'hui toujours sous contrôle du M23. Mais nous, nous sommes toujours là et nous avons toujours un rôle important à jouer. Nous tenons bon et nous remplissons ce rôle du mieux que nous le pouvons, malgré les restrictions de mouvement. Mais Il viendra un moment où il faudra établir les responsabilités. Eh bien sûr, nous avons documenté tout cela, et le moment viendra. Mais notre priorité immédiate est de mettre fin aux combats et de créer les conditions pour que des solutions négociées puissent être instaurées, afin que l'on trouve une solution à cette situation persistante dans l'est, qui dure depuis trente ans et qui, au moment même où nous parlons, semble encore s'aggraver. Voilà notre priorité absolue. La justice et la responsabilité viendront après. Avec le nouveau mandat de la Monusco, que fait concrètement la mission aujourd'hui sur le terrain, différemment de ce qu'elle faisait dans les semaines et les mois ayant suivi la prise de Goma, et par rapport à l'ancien mandat ? Dans les zones contrôlées par le M23, la situation est évidemment différente, car nous n'avons jamais pu y retrouver notre liberté de mouvement. Nous pouvons faire entrer et sortir des troupes et du personnel, mais sans aéroport, cela se fait par voie terrestre, ce qui prend plus de temps. Mais les troupes ne peuvent pas patrouiller librement. Le Conseil de sécurité le sait parfaitement. Des pressions sont exercées sur le M23 pour qu'il nous accorde la liberté de mouvement, mais ce groupe pose des conditions que nous ne pouvons pas accepter, car nous ne pouvons pas coopérer avec un groupe armé ayant pris le contrôle d'un territoire souverain de la RDC. Malgré cela, nous avons établi un modus operandi qui nous permet de rester présents dans l'est. Cette présence est précieuse, car elle donne un certain espoir à la population : l'ONU est toujours là, la communauté internationale ne les a pas oubliés. Nous utilisons nos réseaux pour surveiller la situation et en rendre compte. Mais les opérations classiques de maintien de la paix que nous menons en Ituri et dans le grand nord ne sont pas possibles dans les zones contrôlées par le M23. Un nouvel élément figure toutefois dans la résolution : lorsqu'un cessez-le-feu est en place – et nous devrions en avoir un – nous sommes mandatés pour le soutenir. Cela a été négocié à Doha, avec un rôle pour la Conférence internationale sur la région des Grands Lacs (CIRGL), et la Monusco fait partie intégrante de ce mécanisme de surveillance du cessez-le-feu, y compris sur le plan logistique. Ce mécanisme est prêt, il n'est pas encore visible parce que le cessez-le-feu ne tient pas pleinement. Mais nous sommes prêts. Nous nous préparons activement, mais certaines conditions doivent être en place : l'accès aux aéroports, l'utilisation de nos hélicoptères.  En mars, nous retournerons devant le Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU. Il nous a demandé des propositions concrètes sur la mise en œuvre du mécanisme de surveillance du cessez-le-feu, et nous serons prêts à les présenter, afin qu'il puisse prendre une décision.
