When you mention Japanese War crimes in World War Two, you'll often get different responses from different generations. The oldest among us will talk about the Bataan Death March. Younger people, coming of age in the 1990s, will mention the Rape of Nanking or the comfort women forced into service by the Japanese army. Occasionally, someone will mention biological warfare. Frank Jacob has offered a valuable service by surveying Japanese mistreatment of civilians and soldiers comprehensively. His book, Japanese War Crimes during World War II: Atrocity and the Psychology of Collective Violence (Praeger, 2018), is short and doesn't treat any event or issue in depth. But he offers a lucid and thorough evaluation of the literature and nuggets of additional insight. And he frames it with a thoughtful attempt to explain the conduct about which he is writing. If you're looking for a deep dive into a particular topic, you're not the audience Jacob had in mind. But this is a good place to come to grips with the broad picture of Japanese misconduct during the war. Kelly McFall is Professor of History and Director of the Honors Program at Newman University.

RO 051 25, c'est le numéro du copieux dossier sur lequel les juges de la haute cour militaire du palais de justice de la Gombe vont devoir se pencher. « Une étape judiciaire inédite », raconte le site d'informations Les volcans news, fruit d'une procédure enclenchée par le parquet général militaire après la levée de son immunité parlementaire par le Sénat en mai dernier. Car Kabila est sénateur à vie, un titre qui lui permettait de passer entre les gouttes de la justice jusqu'à ce que le pouvoir en place en décide autrement et que ses collègues sénateurs ne votent en ce sens. Les chefs d'accusation font froid dans le dos : « les plus lourds jamais instruits contre une ancienne figure présidentielle en RDC », poursuit le site d'information Les volcans news, participation à un mouvement insurrectionnel, des crimes de guerre, des crimes contre l'humanité, de la trahison, de l'apologie d'actes criminels, du viol, de la torture, de l'homicide volontaire ou encore de la déportation. Alors que reproche-t-on exactement à l'ancien chef d'État ? « Un soutien présumé à la rébellion de l'Alliance fleuve congo/M23 », détaille la radio congolaise Ouragan et de poursuivre, « le parquet militaire l'accuse de trahison pour avoir entretenu des intelligences avec une puissance étrangère, en l'occurrence le Rwanda ». Celui qui est resté au pouvoir pendant deux décennies se voit désormais accusé d'avoir voulu aider une puissance étrangère à renverser le pouvoir de Kinshasa. « Rien n'indique toutefois que Kabila qui ne s'est pas présenté devant le Sénat lors de la levée de son immunité parlementaire sera présent à son procès », tempère EcoNews RDC. Un procès qui s'inscrit selon le site d'information dans la stratégie affichée du président Tshisekedi de déboulonner le système de son prédécesseur, une promesse électorale désormais concrétisée. Kabila une variable d'ajustement dans les négociations en cours à Doha ? « Il sera pris en charge par l'accord de paix négocié directement entre ses hommes et nous. Nous ne pensons pas lui réserver de traitement particulier », détaille Jacquemain Shabani, vice premier ministre et ministre de l'Intérieur, dans les colonnes de Jeune Afrique. « Ses hommes ? Ce sont ceux de la rébellion AFC/M23 », affirme Jacquemain Shabani. Sur la toile, poursuit EcoNews RDC, les partisans dénoncent le martyr que vit leur leader : « effacer un homme comme Joseph Kabila de la scène publique ne peut se faire ni par la force ni par la manipulation de la justice ». La fin d'une ère conclut le site d'actualité. Reste à savoir si elle ouvre la voie à une démocratie apaisée ou à de nouvelles tensions. À lire aussiRDC: le procès de l'ex-président Joseph Kabila s'ouvre devant la Haute Cour militaire À Madagascar, pas encore de procès, mais une enquête qui permet de lever le voile sur les circonstances de la mort de 32 personnes lors d'une fête d'anniversaire à Ambohimalaza juin dernier. Mais la scène avait tout l'air d'un réquisitoire sur les télévisions malgaches hier soir. Andry Rajoelina avait convoqué ministres, procureurs et représentants de la gendarmerie pour une émission diffusée en direct sur la télévision d'État. Plusieurs heures durant lesquelles, « le secret de l'enquête a été largement dépassé pour laisser place à l'épreuve des faits », décrit L'Express de Madagascar. Et dès le début, le président de la République veut jouer carte sur table : « l'État ne couvre personne dans cette affaire », a-t-il lancé, rapporte le site d'informations AA. Première révélation. La substance toxique utilisée pour empoisonner les victimes est l'atropine, principe actif contenu dans le datura et la belladone. « Deux fleurs présentes à Madagascar », poursuit L'Express. « L'état a défendu sans équivoque la thèse de l'empoisonnement », précise Midi Madagasikara car selon le ministre de la Santé publique, Zely Arivelo Randriamanantany, les autopsies réalisées sur les victimes montrent des symptômes qui ne collent pas avec la thèse du botulisme. Des atteintes au rein, au cœur et au foie qui ne peuvent pas avoir été causées par cette infection. Reste que selon les révélations de RFI, les analyses effectuées par l'institut de médecine légale de Strasbourg n'ont pas pu confirmer la cause des décès. Autres éléments mis en avant lors de ce moment de télévision judiciaire, la principale accusée est passée aux aveux selon le général Andriantsarafara Rakotondrazaka, ministre délégué à la Gendarmerie nationale qui évoque un acte de vengeance en raison d'une dispute familiale. « Des conversations téléphoniques et des SMS compromettants ont été découverts durant l'enquête », précise L'Express de Madagascar. Huit personnes sont sur les bancs des accusés dans cette affaire. Cinq en contrôle judiciaire et trois femmes en détention dont la suspecte principale.

Beth Cameron, Senior Advisor and Professor of the Practice at the Brown University Pandemic Center and a Senior Adviser and non-resident fellow at CSIS, hosts this inspiring July 14 conversation with Richard Hatchett, the CEO of CEPI, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations. Richard first came to Washington DC in the aftermath of 9/11 to create the U.S. Medical Reserve Corps. There was no looking back. He served in several administrations as a leading expert in bio preparedness and left government to lead CEPI at its creation in 2017, its mission to support the accelerated development of vaccines and other countermeasures against future biothreats. With the Covid-19 pandemic, health security has become an enduring global concern, with now a fierce focus on access to new technology, and regional manufacturing capabilities. “You have to design your programs with your access goal in mind from the very beginning,”  Preparedness is “not a static achievement.” It is “a dynamic state of readiness” that evolves through practice – “train, train, train.”  CEPI's signature big idea is the 100 Day Mission, in which vaccine designs and delivery platforms are ready to spring into action when new biothreats appear.  Cuts in finances and programs by the Trump administration and others will compromise disease surveillance, detection and containment measures, increasing the risks to Americans and beyond.  Cuts are also forcing reflection, the setting of priorities, and finding ways to finance and achieve better and more efficient outcomes. The remarkable speed in which a vaccine was introduced during the Marburg outbreak in Rwanda in September 2024 rested not on luck. It built on CEPI's pre-existing partnerships with the Rwanda government and several other institutions, including WHO and key US agencies.  CEPI has invested since 2017 in over $1 billion in the US biotech sector, and has just concluded an agreement to work with DOD.

Dida Nibagwire et Frédéric Fisbach mettent en scène le roman de Gaël Faye, Petit pays publié en 2016, aux éditions Grasset.  Gahugu Gato signifie « Petit pays » en kinyarwanda, langue nationale parlée au Rwanda.  C'est aussi le titre du roman de l'auteur Gaël Faye, publié en 2016. Inspiré en partie par sa propre enfance, le livre raconte l'histoire d'une famille exilée au Burundi, alors que le pays sombre dans la guerre civile. La famille va être confrontée aux événements qui aboutiront au génocide des Tutsis au Rwanda et dont on a commémoré le 30è anniversaire en 2024.    Frédéric Fisbach et Dida Nibagwire adaptent ce roman de Gaël Faye qui relate l'enfance de Gaby. Les metteurs en scène invitent des interprètes rwandais à convoquer la mémoire sur scène avec beaucoup de scènes racontées en chansons.    Les Rwandais ont plein d'histoires à raconter. On ne peut pas occulter cette histoire, qu'il faut la raconter mais il faut en faire quelque chose. Il y avait aussi la volonté de ne pas être assigné à ce génocide.  Frédéric Fisbach  Frédéric Fisbach est un metteur en scène français de théâtre et d'opéra. Il est également comédien et réalisateur, né à Paris en 1966.  La pièce a été créée au Rwanda après la rencontre entre Frédéric Fisbach et Dida Nibagwire. Après avoir vu l'adaptation que Frédéric Fisbach avait faite en français, Dida Nibagwire a voulu monter le spectacle au Rwanda pour les Rwandais, avec des acteurs burundais, rwandais, en kinyarwanda.  C'est très important pour nous de faire ce travail en Kinyarwanda. Souvent, c'est difficile de dire les mots dans d'autres langues. Le roman de Gaël Faye parle aussi de cette culture et de cette langue.   Dida Nibagwire. Dida Nibagwire est une artiste et entrepreneuse culturelle rwandaise. Elle vivait au Rwanda au moment du génocide. Elle dirige un centre culturel à Kigali. Elle a notamment été directrice de casting et conseillère technique de l'adaptation cinématographique de Petit Pays, de Gaël Faye, réalisé par Éric Barbier, et coproductrice du documentaire Le silence des mots, coréalisé par Michael Sztancke et Gaël Faye.  Même pour moi qui étais jeune, c'est très difficile de poser des mots sur ce qu'on a vécu.

Dida Nibagwire et Frédéric Fisbach mettent en scène le roman de Gaël Faye, Petit pays publié en 2016, aux éditions Grasset.  Gahugu Gato signifie « Petit pays » en kinyarwanda, langue nationale parlée au Rwanda. C'est aussi le titre du roman de l'auteur Gaël Faye, publié en 2016. Inspiré en partie par sa propre enfance, le livre raconte l'histoire d'une famille exilée au Burundi, alors que le pays sombre dans la guerre civile. La famille va être confrontée aux événements qui aboutiront au génocide des Tutsis au Rwanda et dont on a commémoré le 30ᵉ anniversaire en 2024.   Frédéric Fisbach et Dida Nibagwire adaptent ce roman de Gaël Faye qui relate l'enfance de Gaby. Les metteurs en scène invitent des interprètes rwandais à convoquer la mémoire sur scène avec beaucoup de scènes racontées en chansons.    Les rwandais ont plein d'histoires à raconter. On ne peut pas occulter cette histoire, qu'il faut la raconter mais il faut en faire quelque chose. Il y avait aussi la volonté de ne pas être assigné à ce génocide. Frédéric Fisbach  Frédéric Fisbach est un metteur en scène français de théâtre et d'opéra. Il est également comédien et réalisateur, né à Paris en 1966.  La pièce a été créée au Rwanda après la rencontre entre Frédéric Fisbach et Dida Nibagwire. Après avoir vu l'adaptation que Frédéric Fisbach avait faite en français, Dida Nibagwire a voulu monter le spectacle au Rwanda pour les Rwandais, avec des acteurs burundais, rwandais, en kinyarwanda.  C'est très important pour nous de faire ce travail en Kinyarwanda. Souvent, c'est difficile de dire les mots dans d'autres langues. Le roman de Gaël Faye parle aussi de cette culture et de cette langue.  Dida Nibagwire. Dida Nibagwire est une artiste et entrepreneuse culturelle rwandaise. Elle vivait au Rwanda au moment du génocide. Elle dirige un centre culturel à Kigali. Elle a notamment été directrice de casting et conseillère technique de l'adaptation cinématographique de Petit Pays, de Gaël Faye, réalisé par Éric Barbier, et coproductrice du documentaire Le silence des mots, coréalisé par Michael Sztancke et Gaël Faye.  Même pour moi qui étais jeune, c'est très difficile de poser des mots sur ce qu'on a vécu. C'est très important pour moi que la jeune génération se réconcilie avec ce passé. Dida Nibagwire. Gaël Faye est un auteur, rappeur et compositeur franco-rwandais né en 1982 à Bujumbura (Burundi).

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Clay: Sorry, NY The Senate’s landmark vote to defund PBS and NPR, a conservative goal that has been decades in the making. Clay and Buck frame this as a generational shift in media accountability, pending final approval from the House. The rise of Zohran Mamdani, a New York City mayoral candidate whose far-left platform includes abolishing private property and implementing socialist economic reforms. Clay and Buck debate whether Republicans should strategically allow Mamdani to win, arguing that his radicalism could serve as a wake-up call for voters and galvanize GOP turnout in the 2026 midterms. They suggest that Democrats embracing Mamdani could backfire nationally, especially in swing districts. The Audience Weighs In Calls and emails split between defending New York City and supporting Clay’s provocative idea of “sacrificing” NYC to expose Democratic extremism. The hosts also highlight Elizabeth Warren’s public distancing from Mamdani, interpreting it as a sign of internal Democratic discomfort with his ideology. Alan Dershowitz on Epstein Alan Dershowitz joins the show to discuss the Jeffrey Epstein case, recent developments in the DOJ, and media misinformation. Dershowitz defends Trump against claims of involvement in Epstein’s crimes, asserting there is no credible evidence linking Trump to any wrongdoing. He also debunks conspiracy theories about Epstein’s ties to Israeli intelligence, calling them baseless and antisemitic. Dershowitz advocates for full transparency in the Epstein files, including both accusations and exculpatory evidence, to ensure fairness in public judgment. TN Sen. Marsha Blackburn Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, offering deep insights into the latest conservative legislative victories and political developments. The hour opens with Blackburn discussing the Senate’s advancement of a major rescission package, which includes efforts to defund NPR and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting—an initiative dating back to the Reagan era. She highlights the elimination of wasteful federal spending, such as funding for vegan food in Zambia and electric buses in Rwanda, projecting a potential $90 billion in savings over a decade. The conversation shifts to President Trump’s early-term accomplishments, with Blackburn praising his swift action on the economy, border security, and crime. She emphasizes his commitment to promises made, including securing the southern border, reducing inflation, and rebuilding the military. The hosts and Blackburn also discuss the “No Tax on Tips” bill and a proposed $6,000 annual Social Security tax deduction for seniors, framing these as key components of the GOP’s 2024 platform. Judicial appointments take center stage as Blackburn details the contentious confirmation of Emil Bove to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Despite Democratic opposition due to Bove’s past legal defense of Trump, Republicans pushed the nomination through committee. Blackburn criticizes Democrats for obstructing judicial and law enforcement appointments, urging the GOP to push confirmations forward without delay. The hour also explores Tennessee’s economic success, with Blackburn crediting the state’s constitutional ban on income tax and fiscally conservative governance for attracting businesses and residents. She contrasts this with the rise of far-left politics in cities like New York, referencing the candidacy of Zohran Mamdani and warning of the dangers of socialist policies.
