« Le président Tshisekedi ne peut pas aller signer la paix à Washington sans qu'on puisse constater que les troupes rwandaises se sont retirées de notre territoire », déclare sur RFI, ce mercredi matin, le ministre congolais de la Communication et des Médias, Patrick Muyaya. Est-ce à dire que la poignée de main, prévue d'ici à la fin du mois à Washington, entre le Congolais Félix Tshisekedi et le Rwandais Paul Kagamé est sérieusement compromise ? De passage à Paris, Patrick Muyaya, qui est aussi porte-parole du gouvernement de la RDC, répond aux questions de Patient Ligodi et Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Jusqu'à la semaine dernière, vous faisiez du retrait des troupes rwandaises du Congo le préalable à toute signature d'accords. Mais vendredi dernier, à Washington, vous avez finalement signé un accord de coopération économique avec le Rwanda pour le développement futur de la sous région. Pourquoi avez-vous changé d'avis ? Patrick Muyaya : Nous avons paraphé parce qu'il y a eu un progrès. Il y a eu, dans ce qui avait été signé, une section qui a été rajoutée. Dans cette section, il est clairement dit que le cadre d'intégration économique régionale pourra effectivement être mis en œuvre après la satisfaction de l'exécution du Conops. Le Conops, c'est le volet militaire de l'accord du 27 juin qui stipule, d'une part, que nous allons traiter la question des Forces démocratiques de libération du Rwanda (FDLR) et que le Rwanda va à son tour retirer ce que l'on appelle ses « mesures de défense », en réalité, la présence de ses troupes et de son matériel militaire. Dans ce qui s'est discuté, il y a des engagements qui ont été réitérés de part et d'autre, notamment en ce qui concerne le volet militaire, pour que cela facilite la signature par les deux chefs d'État. Vous avez signé parce que le principe, notamment, d'un retrait des troupes rwandaises vous semble acquis ? Nous avons signé, dans le cadre de cette section, que l'on a rajouté, parce qu'il faut que l'on s'assure que, dans cette dimension, le Rwanda fasse sa part. Dans le Conops, le volet militaire, n'oubliez pas qu'il est prévu de traiter d'une part la question des FDLR, ce que nous traitons, avec la phase de la sensibilisation – nous en ferons le point pour décider s'il y a des opérations qui doivent se faire. Mais, d'autre part, le Rwanda s'était engagé à retirer ses mesures de défense. Nous faisons notre part et eux doivent faire la leur. Comme vous le dites, la mise en œuvre de cet accord de coopération économique est conditionnée aussi à la neutralisation des rebelles hutu rwandais FDLR sur votre territoire. Mais concrètement, monsieur le ministre, avez-vous cartographié le déploiement des FDLR ? Avez-vous commencé à les désarmer ? Je crois qu'il y a un travail d'état-major qui a été fait en termes de cartographie. Il y en a certains qui sont sur la partie du territoire que nous contrôlons, et l'autre partie sur le territoire qui est sous contrôle des forces d'occupation. Dans les parties que nous contrôlons, au moment où je vous parle, il y a des experts militaires qui sont sur place pour procéder à la phase de sensibilisation qui est, elle aussi, prévue dans le cadre du Conops, qui est annexé à l'accord du 27 juin. Dans cet ordre, nous faisons cette première partie. S'il y a des résistances, dans le cadre de ce qui est prévu, nous passerons à la phase suivante pour nous assurer que nous nous sommes acquittés de notre part dans le cadre de l'exécution du Conops. Du côté des négociations avec les rebelles de l'AFC/M23, vous avez signé avec eux, il y a un mois, un accord créant un mécanisme de surveillance du cessez-le-feu. Où en est ce mécanisme ? Fonctionne-t-il ? Il doit fonctionner normalement en fonction des structures qui ont été mises en place. Je crois que la première réunion devrait être convoquée incessamment pour voir comment cela peut se mettre en place. Ce n'est pas simplement la question du mécanisme du cessez-le-feu, mais aussi cette question de prisonniers. Vous parlez d'échange de prisonniers. Vous négociez à ce sujet avec le M23 depuis plusieurs mois à Doha, mais cela n'avance pas. Beaucoup disent que c'est vous qui bloquez, car vous refuseriez la libération d'un certain nombre de prisonniers politiques. Je n'irai pas à dire que nous bloquons ou que nous n'avançons pas. Le fait, déjà, que nous ayons parlé préalablement des mécanismes qui ont été signés, notamment sur le cessez-le-feu ou la libération de prisonniers, c'est la preuve que nous avançons sur les mécanismes de prisonniers. Il y a une tâche qui a été confiée au Comité international de la Croix-Rouge (CICR), qui est en train de travailler avec les deux parties. Le moment venu, il y aura des évolutions et les choses pourront être dites. La condamnation à mort, le mois dernier, de l'ancien président Joseph Kabila par un tribunal militaire de Kinshasa ne complique-t-elle pas ces négociations ? Je ne suis pas sûr que cela complique les négociations. Il faut dissocier le président Kabila. C'est un ancien président. Je pense qu'il existe une loi qui le concerne, lui, personnellement – parce qu'on n'a pas deux anciens présidents. Au regard de cette loi et au regard de ses agissements, notamment son séjour et ses contacts réguliers – je ne dirai pas davantage –, il faut considérer qu'il n'a pas joué le rôle qu'il devrait jouer dans ce cadre et que les conséquences au plan judiciaire ont été tirées. Cette semaine, toujours à Doha, au Qatar, on attend la signature d'un accord-cadre entre l'AFC/M23 et votre gouvernement. Où en est-on ? Je pense que les discussions ont plutôt bien évolué. Il y a un besoin humanitaire urgent et pressant. Je pense que nous trouvons un compromis qui sera complémentaire à celui trouvé à Washington et qui nous permet d'aller maintenant dans la mise en œuvre effective qui sera l'étape la plus déterminante qui permette le retour de la paix effective. La Conférence humanitaire de Paris, le 30 octobre dernier, a-t-elle donné les résultats que vous espériez, ou vous a-t-elle déçu ? On ne dira pas qu'on est déçu parce qu'il y a eu une grosse mobilisation sur un sujet qui nous tient particulièrement à cœur, le sujet humanitaire. Il y a des besoins qui ont été chiffrés à peu près à 2,2 milliards et Paris s'est prononcé pour à peu près 1,6 milliard. Ce n'est pas tout ce dont nous avons besoin, mais c'est déjà quelque chose d'essentiel. Nous restons attentifs sur ce sujet aussi. La réouverture de l'aéroport de Goma pour des causes humanitaires, y croyez-vous ? Nous allons y arriver parce que nous avions convenu de cette urgence avec les humanitaires sur place. La question a fait l'objet des discussions à Paris. Ici, il faut rappeler d'abord que, si ceux qui occupent illicitement la ville de Goma et de Bukavu étaient en mesure d'ouvrir l'aéroport, ils l'auraient ouvert. C'est une question de souveraineté. Et nous, nous avons lancé un NOTAM (« Messages aux navigants », ndlr) – pour parler un langage de spécialiste –, pour dire que ces aéroports ne pouvaient pas servir. Pour des besoins strictement humanitaires, il y aura une dérogation qui pourra être faite pour des vols de type précis qui pourront être systématiquement contrôlés et être dans la mesure de fournir l'appui qu'il faut à nos populations sur place. D'ici combien de temps ? Je ne saurai pas vous donner des délais, au moment où nous parlons. Mais je sais qu'il y a des personnes qui y travaillent, que ce soit à Kinshasa ou à Paris, et qui doivent être en mesure rapidement de rendre concret ce projet. Vous êtes sur le point de signer un accord-cadre avec les rebelles AFC/M23, mais en même temps, ce mouvement est en train de recruter des dizaines, voire des centaines de magistrats pour son administration. Comment réagissez-vous ? Il est évident, le ministre de la Justice l'a déjà dit, que tout acte posé dans ces contextes sera déclaré nul et de nul effet. Vous convenez avec moi qu'ils ne sont pas en compétence de faire un quelconque recrutement parce qu'il existe un travail du Conseil supérieur de la magistrature et des critères bien établis. Nous n'accordons que peu d'attention à ce genre d'actions qui n'ont en réalité aucun avenir. Voilà plus de quatre mois que les ministres des Affaires étrangères de vos deux pays, la République démocratique du Congo (RDC) et le Rwanda, ont signé un premier accord de paix à Washington. C'était le 27 juin. Mais à quand un accord de paix définitif signé par vos deux présidents, Félix Tshisekedi et Paul Kagame, en présence de Donald Trump à Washington ? Mais je crois que c'est prévu et les conditions doivent être réunies. Mais il y a pour nous un facteur principal, c'est le retrait de ce qu'on appelle, en langage diplomatique, les « mesures de défense du Rwanda », mais qui sont, en réalité, son armée et tous les matériels qui sont déployés sur notre territoire. Dès que les conditions seront réunies, et il me semble que nous sommes sur la voie, le président de la République pourra faire le déplacement de Washington pour poser la signature sur cet accord de paix. Donc, pas de déplacement de Félix Tshisekedi à Washington avant un début de retrait des forces rwandaises de votre territoire ? Je crois que nous l'avons fait savoir, notamment à la médiation américaine. Vous avez vu qu'il y a eu une évolution. Je vous ai dit tout à l'heure, lorsque nous parlions de la signature du cadre d'intégration économique régionale, que cette préoccupation a été bien notée. Nous avons réagi à travers un communiqué et nous considérons que c'est un pas important qui nous permettra de faire le mouvement de Washington. Nous considérons que nous sommes sur une dynamique positive qui nous permettra, dans les jours qui viennent, de parvenir à la signature de cet accord par les présidents de la République. Signature qui pourrait avoir lieu d'ici à la fin de ce mois de novembre ? Cela dépendra aussi des agendas, mais il y a des contacts étroits pour que les mots du président Trump puissent correspondre à la réalité sur le terrain. Votre gouvernement, disons l'armée congolaise, a lancé cette campagne pour demander aux FDLR de pouvoir déposer les armes en vue d'une éventuelle reddition. A combien évaluez-vous le nombre de ces combattants FDLR en RDC? Je ne saurais peut-être pas me hasarder sur des chiffres, qui relèvent plutôt des états-majors. Mais je ne pense pas qu'ils soient en nombre considérable et qu'ils puissent véritablement causer des problèmes de sécurité au Rwanda. Mais quand vous parlez d'un nombre qui ne serait pas considérable, vous l'évaluez à combien environ ? 500 personnes ? Certains experts nous parlent de 1 000, 1500, mais c'est du domaine du renseignement militaire. Il faut laisser le travail se faire et peut être que le moment venu, nous pourrons revenir avec des chiffres plus précis dès que nous les aurons. Sur RFI, les porte-paroles des FDLR disent qu'à ce jour, les FDLR ne peuvent pas désarmer. Ils ne peuvent donc suivre la campagne qui est menée par les Forces armées de la République démocratique du Congo (FARDC), déposer les armes et donc faire cette reddition. Nous savons que nous avons des engagements. Nous savons qu'il y a des choses qui doivent être faites à notre niveau. Nous, on a commencé cette phase de sensibilisation. Évidemment, il y a des prochaines phases en fonction de l'évaluation qui sera faite. Il y a un travail qui doit être aussi fait au Rwanda parce que ce sont des Rwandais, et le Rwanda devrait être disposé à les recevoir. Pour le reste, il ne m'appartient pas de commenter les décisions de ce genre dès lors que nous avons un plan préalablement établi et sur lequel nous tenons, dans le cadre des différents accords que nous avons signés. En parlant de ce processus de Washington et de Doha, il a été convenu d'un mécanisme de suivi du cessez-le-feu. Mais sur le terrain, rien n'est fait. Encore hier, il y avait des combats sur le terrain. Il y a toujours une distance entre le moment où nous signons et le moment où les choses se mettent en place. Nous connaissons la détermination des occupants. Mais il ne faut pas oublier que nous avons une médiation qui suit ce qui se passe sur le terrain. Il ne faut pas oublier que les médiateurs disposent d'autres leviers qui peuvent servir de pression pour nous assurer que nous atteignons les objectifs que nous poursuivons. On peut dire que rien n'a été fait. Ne vendez-vous pas du vent à la population congolaise, avec tout ce qui se passe à Doha et à Washington ? Attention, nous ne vendons pas du vent parce qu'il y a des progrès. Il y a des combats sur le terrain. Mais j'y arrive. Nous sommes dans un processus diplomatique. Lorsque nous avons choisi la résolution 2773 et tout ce qu'il y a comme déploiements diplomatiques ici, il y a un travail qui doit se faire au préalable, c'est le travail diplomatique. Mais après, il y a un travail plus important, le travail de terrain. Cela veut dire qu'il y a les préalables. Lorsqu'on dit qu'on mettra en place un mécanisme de cessez-le-feu, il faut être sûr qu'on arrive à mobiliser toutes les parties prenantes, les mettre en place et qu'elles aient les moyens de déploiement. Cela ne se fait pas sur un claquement de doigt, et les médiateurs le savent. Donc on ne saura peut être pas vous dire dans l'immédiat :  « On signe aujourd'hui, demain sur terrain, et ceci. » C'est pour cela qu'il y a un besoin de responsabilité pour le Rwanda, conformément à l'accord du 27 juin, de faire sa part et de s'assurer, de par le lien parental qui les lie au M23, de voir comment le M23 va aussi s'acquitter de sa part. Ce n'est qu'à ce prix que nous pourrons atteindre les objectifs fixés au plan diplomatique. Nous avons des médiateurs qataris, américains et de l'Union africaine qui suivent étroitement les processus. Dans ce cadre là, chaque fois qu'il y a des actes qui sont posés, qui ne devraient pas l'être et qui sont rapportés, ce sera le moment venu au médiateur de voir qui bloque quoi et tirer les conséquences qu'il faut. Cette rencontre à venir à Washington entre les deux chefs d'État pourrait-elle avoir lieu avant le début du retrait des troupes rwandaises du Congo ? Nous savons que le retrait des troupes rwandaises est la condition principale pour que nous puissions avancer. Parce que le président de la République ne peut pas se rendre à Washington sans que nous ne puissions être en mesure, avec les Américains avec lesquels nous travaillons, de constater qu'il y a eu retrait de ce qu'on a appelé, en langage diplomatique, des « mesures des défense », mais en réalité des troupes rwandaises et de tout ce qui les accompagne. Donc il n'y aura pas cette poignée de main avant un geste militaire de votre voisin rwandais ? En tout cas, il y a un accord qui a été signé, qui prévoit des choses. Nous, nous faisons notre part. Le Rwanda doit faire la sienne pour nous permettre d'avancer. Pour obtenir ce retrait des troupes rwandaises, on voit bien que vous comptez beaucoup sur la pression des Américains. Mais maintenant que le Rwanda accepte d'accueillir des migrants en provenance des États-Unis, ne craignez-vous pas que Washington n'ait plus aucun moyen de pression sur Kigali ? Je crois que le président Donald Trump, de manière constante, se présente comme celui qui aide à atteindre les objectifs de paix. Il l'a fait dans plusieurs pays. Pour ce qui concerne la République démocratique du Congo, il est bien au courant. Vous suivez notamment les déploiements de son envoyé spécial, Massad Boulos. Aujourd'hui, il faut considérer que nous avons fait des pas. N'oubliez pas que le président de la République, en 2019, dès son arrivée, avait fait le choix courageux de la paix, avec les voisins, notamment le Rwanda. N'oubliez pas qu'il y a une volonté américaine et qatari d'investir massivement dans la région pour en débloquer tout le potentiel. J'ai assisté à Washington en octobre dernier à une réunion, à l'initiative du Département du Trésor américain, avec tous les bailleurs qui sont intéressés par l'investissement dans cette partie de la région. Je crois qu'il y a davantage de pression sur le Rwanda pour aller vers la conclusion de l'accord, pour permettre à tous ces bailleurs de commencer à aller vers l'essentiel. L'essentiel ici, c'est nos populations. Je rappelle que le président de la République a toujours dit et répété que nous n'avions pas de problème avec le peuple rwandais. Vous voyez qu'il y a des objectifs nobles qui nous attendent. Des objectifs qui permettront à la fois aux Américains d'être sûrs de pouvoir bénéficier de ressources critiques. Nous avons tous besoin de parvenir à cet objectif de paix. Et nous avons tous besoin, dans ce cadre, que le Rwanda fasse sa part autant que nous faisons la nôtre.

Italia var det siste landet som skulle sende retur-asylanter til en mellomstasjon i Kosovo i påvente av uttransportering.

De har tilranet seg en makt over nasjonalstatene som ingen politikere tør å utfordre.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- So, what does President Trump have to do to win the Nobel Peace Prize. The guy has a hand in ending most of the world's major conflicts: Pakistan and India, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, Armenia and Azerbaijan... and the recent ceasefire achieved between Israel and the Palestinians. It's so blatant, that the winner of the award gave a head nod to President Trump. Don't worry, the system isn't rigged. A lot of this has been due to President Trump's ability to strike deals to give America a leg up in the Artificial Intelligence race. Big corporations have joined with the government to squeeze all of us that aren't at the top. There's some odd year elections happening this year and we're not happy about it. The turnout always stinks and a small group of activists can always win the day. There's two governor's races on the ballot. Jack Citerelli is within striking distance against Sherill, who is a damaged candidate. Winsome Sears should beat Abigail Spannberger, who has been caught up in the whole Jay Jones controversy, but that ain't looking too good either. Mamdani seems to have a lock on the New York mayor's race, and that's not good for the economic capital of the United States. He's illegally taken overseas money for his campaign and is a loud and proud Democratic Socialist which has a very radical agenda. He wants to reduce the police force, freeze rent, and have free public transportation and grocery stores. He's a disaster within moments of holding control of America's largest city. In Minneapolis, Omar Fateh is trying to become "Little Mamdani" as it's mayor. He's also with the DSA and holds the same views. This will give the Minneapolis City Council carte blanche to pass most any radical policy it wants to. If Minneapolis goes communist, the repercussions will reverberate throughout the suburbs as well. The time to prepare is now, because there's a pretty good chance he wins, as Omar Fateh has rigged the Ranked Choice voting system with lesser candidates to block Mayor Frey from getting votes. We really need to dump RCV. The moral of the story is that we need to get rid of RCV and odd year elections. In the meantime, you'd better run to the hills.

She reveals why she believes immigration is out of control, what went wrong with the Rwanda plan, and whether Britain can ever regain control of its borders. We also dive deep into what it means to be English, British or Asian-British in modern Britain — from the St. George's flag controversy to national pride, religion, and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). Suella explains why she believes strong countries need strong identities, and how ‘human rights' laws have been exploited to block deportations. Finally, Andrew challenges Suella on issues like burqas, cousin marriage, and nationalism, before asking the question everyone wants to know — would she join Nigel Farage and Reform UK? #SuellaBraverman #HereticsPodcast #BritishPolitics  Join the 30k heretics on my mailing list: https://andrewgoldheretics.com  Check out my new documentary channel: https://youtube.com/@andrewgoldinvestigates  Andrew on X: https://twitter.com/andrewgold_ok   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/andrewgold_ok Heretics YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewgoldheretics Chapters: 0:00 Suella Braverman Highlights 1:35 Why Suella Braverman is Normal 4:05 What is Englishness? 6:35 Nationality vs Ethnicity 9:35 Nationalism Debate 12:05 We Must Copy Israel's Nationalism 13:35 St. George's Flag Controversy 15:35 Why We Brought In So Many Immigrants 17:35 What Suella Said To Rishi and Liz 21:35 The Deep State & Stopping the Boats 25:05 Can We Ever Trust The Tories Again? 26:50 How Has Islam Changed Your Life 28:35 What's Suella's Ancestry? 31:35 Andrew's Dog Test 33:35 Burqas and 1st Cousin Marriage 36:35 We Have Too Many People 39:35 Would Suella Join Reform? 41:35 Can the Tories Win? 43:35 Harry Kane Analogy With Reform 47:35 What Actually Is The ECHR? 50:35 Why Rwanda Failed 53:35 Can We Get Out Of The ECHR? 56:35 How ‘Human Rights' Are Exploited 59:35 Where Kemi & Tories Stand 1:00:35 The Origin of Suella's Name 1:03:35 Keir Starmer's ‘Management Speak' 1:05:35 Why Suella Lost Her Job 1:07:35 The Jews Love Suella 1:10:35 A Heretic Suella Admires Learn more about your ad choices.

True story: I bumped into Reinhold Messner at the base of Mount Sabyinyo in Rwanda on December 31, 2016.Because I had read several of his books, I instantly recognized him with his signature disheveled hair and gray beard.Still, I politely asked, "Excuse me. Are you Reinhold Messner?"He looked at me, grumbled an unclear non-answer, and turned away to join his small group.I shuffled over to Rejoice Tapon and said, "I'm 95% sure that that man over there is Reinhold Messner, the greatest mountaineer ever!"She'd never heard of him, but she said, "I'll get a selfie with him!"Rejoice boldly asked him for a selfie. Perhaps Messner was impressed with her beauty, or didn't want to appear racist by turning down what he figured was a local Rwandan (Rejoice is from Cameroon). Regardless, he agreed. And she triumphantly showed it off to me to rub it in. I mention this story because I laughed when I read Messner's confession on Kindle Location 3057 of "Against the Wind." He wrote: "Approachability and sociability have never been my strong points."This sums up what I hope is NOT his final book. His book is full of criticisms of Messner. Most criticisms originate from journalists, climbers, or partners. However, sometimes he criticizes himself (like his poor social skills).For Messner, all these criticisms are a constant "headwind" that he has faced throughout this remarkable long life (he's over 80).This book is NOT what I expected. I've read five of his books and loved them all, especially "Crystal Horizon," which is about his solo climb up Everest's north face in 1980 without oxygen.I expected profound reflections and wisdom. The book's subtitle even promises "reflections." However, the reflections are shallow.The subtitle should be, "Defending Myself Against an Army of Critics." He spends about 25% of the book discussing the tragic loss of his brother, Gunther, on Nanga Parbat. Throughout the book, he has long excerpts of articles that heavily criticize Messner, especially about how he "abandoned" his brother after summitting. I admire Messner for sharing what his critics say and then offering his rebuttal. He could have made a series of strawman arguments that he could easily tear down.Instead, he gives his critics a strong platform, and they crucify him.I never doubted his story, which I read in one of his previous books.He said that after he and Gunther summited, they traversed the mountain by descending the Rupal Face instead of returning the way they ascended.Reinhold was significantly ahead of Gunther, who died in an avalanche.Messner spends MANY pages refuting idiotic claims that others have made. For example, they claim Messner went down one way while he told his brother to go down a different way, alone. They claim that he planned all along to traverse the mountain, which he denies.What's sad is that you don't need to invent lies to make Messner look bad. Just use his words against him.I'll do so by just taking three points from his latest book.1. Messner repeatedly said that Gunther was extremely weak at the summit and suffering from altitude issues.2. His book says, "Reinhold reported that he was about one and a half hours in front of his brother and had lost sight of him."3. However, later in the book, Messner writes, "During the descent, I was convinced that he was right behind me."I'm a mountaineer who has been in many difficult situations and sometimes been with a weak or injured partner. I would certainly get ahead of my weak partner to scout the terrain, to find the easiest path down.However, I would ALWAYS remain within sight or earshot, ESPECIALLY if my partner is feeble.If they're suffering from high altitude issues, they could collapse at any moment.This is common sense & prudence.How can Messner claim, "I was convinced that he was right behind me," and admit that he was "about one and a half hours in front of his brother and had lost sight of him."That's a ridiculous contradiction.It's normal that in the darkness, you might get ahead of your partner and lose visual and auditory contact for several minutes.The moment you realize that you're disconnected, you should stop and wait for your partner to catch up.If he doesn't appear after 15 minutes, it's time to backtrack. To get 90 minutes ahead of your weakened partner is negligent. That fact is all I need to know that Messner was wrong, negligent, and irresponsible.He screwed up.That's all he needs to say. However, instead of addressing this obvious failure, Messner spends pages proving that his critics are wrong about many of their false claims.Enough about their claims! Shut up, Messner! Address the elephant in the room, which you readily admit!And yet, he doesn't clearly and unambiguously say that he was a horrible brother and climbing partner during that descent. The closest he comes to admitting his mistake is when he writes:"Felix Kuen was also one and a half hours ahead of his climbing partner when he reached the summit. Sigi Löw lagged behind during the descent from the summit in 1962 and fell. The very nature of the glacier also caused us to be so far apart."B******t. No glacier forces two climbers to be 90 minutes apart!On the contrary! Most glaciers force climbers to rope up together in case one falls into a crevasse. Instead, "Messner explains that it's standard practice among mountaineers for the partner who is feeling fitter to go first to find the best way down through crevasses."Yes, but not 90 minutes ahead!!!I hoped that 80-year-old Messner would not spend 25% of the book disproving the lies or stupid hypotheses of his critics.Instead, he should have simply said, "I regret not staying close to Gunther throughout the descent. Yes, that might mean that we would both get caught in a deadly avalanche, but given his weakened state, I should never have gotten 90 minutes ahead of him. Ten minutes max. I screwed up."Another bewildering part of the book:"I have been ostracized, slandered, and harmed by people I have shared personal bonds with. The worst thing for me was when I was kicked out of my family home at the age of seventy-five, by my wife. I was given no warning or reason. Despite being often apart from my wife and children while on my many expeditions, I am a family man.We also traveled to places together and I was often at home for months at a time."WTF? Really? "No warning or reason"? C'mon, Messner. If you have no clue why your 2nd wife kicked you out, you're not only the Greatest Mountaineer of All Time (GOAT), but you're also the Most Oblivious Man of All Time. OTHER TIDBITSHe writes, "I've had heart surgery twice." I didn't know, but that suggests he's probably in his final decade.He writes, "I failed three times on an eight-thousander."I wish he reflected on those failures. As Nietzsche puts it: “There are two types of tragedy in our lives. Not reaching our goals—and even worse, reaching our goals.”CONCLUSIONThis book is filled with flaws and is disappointing. Messner wastes all his reflections on his critics. How shallow.You'd think a god like Messner would rise above such petty people and their words. You'd think one of the most mentally tough people in history would not have such thin skin and a fragile ego that any stupid critic can make mighty Messner squirm and get defensive.Who cares?! You're MESSNER! The GOAT!Messner should make a poster in his house that quotes Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, who said, "No one ever erected a statue of a critic." Messner will have statues and accolades forever. His critics will be forgotten.It's so sad to see that they get underneath his thin skin.I was hoping he was tougher and could brush them off like he brushes off the lack of oxygen.So why do I give it 4 stars instead of 1 star?Because, like it or not, the book is a window into Messner's soul.And I find that revealing and interesting, even if it's a bit disappointing.

Alors que les paramilitaires des Forces de soutien rapide (FSR) ont annoncé « la prise de la ville d'El-Fasher », cette « victoire militaire pour le général Hemedti » serait en réalité « une défaite politique », affirme notre invité, le professeur soudanais Suliman Baldo. Il est également directeur exécutif de l'Observatoire de la Transparence et des Politiques au Soudan. Y a-t-il un risque de génocide au Darfour ? Va-t-on vers une partition est/ouest du Soudan ? En ligne de Nairobi, il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Suliman Baldo, comment expliquez-vous la victoire militaire des FSR du général Hemedti à el-Fasher, six mois seulement après leur défaite à Khartoum ? Suliman Baldo : Bien sûr, les Forces de soutien rapide avaient mis un siège très strict autour d'el-Fasher pour plus de 18 mois, c'est-à-dire en interdisant même l'arrivée de denrées alimentaires ou bien les livraisons médicales pour les hôpitaux locaux. Et ils avaient bombardé la ville durant toute cette période. Et ils ont aussi utilisé des drones contre el-Fasher. Et à quoi ont servi ces drones très sophistiqués et de fabrication chinoise ? Il y a plusieurs mois que les Forces de soutien rapide ont acquis bien sûr des drones sophistiqués d'origine chinoise, mais aussi des moyens de défense aérienne qui ont empêché l'armée de l'air soudanaise de ravitailler sa garnison à el-Fasher. Est-ce que les Émirats arabes unis et le Tchad ont joué un rôle dans cette victoire militaire des FSR ? Les Émirats sont, disons, les fournisseurs du matériel de guerre de toutes sortes pour les Forces de soutien rapide. Et donc, ils ont joué un rôle principal et de taille. Le Tchad est seulement un instrument, disons, dans les mains des Émirats arabes unis, comme c'est le cas de la Libye de Haftar, en particulier pour les Forces de soutien rapide. Depuis une semaine, de multiples témoignages décrivent les atrocités commises par les FSR contre les civils appartenant à des communautés non-arabes, notamment la communauté Zaghawa. Est-ce qu'on est en train d'assister à la réplique d'el-Geneina, où 15 000 Masalits avaient été massacrés par les FSR, en juin 2023 ? Je ne crois pas que les victimes qui ont été liquidées par les Forces de soutien rapide à el-Fasher étaient toutes des Zaghawas. Le comportement des Forces de soutien rapide est totalement hors contrôle de leurs commandants. Et donc, lorsque les FSR ont pris la ville, l'armée et les forces conjointes alliées à l'armée avaient déjà pu se retirer de la ville, laissant la population civile derrière elles. Une population civile qui compte un quart de million de personnes. Et donc il y a eu un ciblage des Zaghawas, mais c'était aussi sans discrimination. Parfois, c'étaient des membres de différents groupes ethniques. C'était surtout une revanche sur les populations d'el-Fasher, qui avaient résisté à l'invasion de la ville pendant le siège de la ville. Certains observateurs se demandent si la situation n'est pas comparable aux premières heures du génocide au Rwanda, en 1994 ? Ce qui s'est passé est horrible et c'est une forme de crime commis d'une manière systématique. Mais je ne crois pas qu'il y ait eu l'intention d'éliminer une composante de la population sur des bases ethniques ou autres. Le général Hemedti affirme avoir fait arrêter plusieurs de ses combattants soupçonnés d'exactions et avoir ouvert une commission d'enquête. Est-ce qu'il cherche à échapper éventuellement à ses responsabilités ? Je crois que c'est une réaction à la condamnation globale, partout dans le monde, mais aussi une réaction, au sein de la population locale, face aux tueries qui ont eu lieu à el-Fasher. Je ne pense pas que les Forces de soutien rapide s'attendaient à cette réaction collective de l'opinion mondiale et locale. Et l'annonce de ces enquêtes est une façon d'essayer de contenir les dégâts que, disons, les réactions à ces tueries ont créés. Bien sûr, la prise d'el-Fasher est certainement une victoire militaire, mais ce qui s'est passé après représente une défaite politique totale et une défaite morale pour les Forces de soutien rapide. C'est à cause de ces atrocités, dont les Forces de soutien rapide sont devenues très spécialisées dans la commission de ces crimes de guerre et crimes contre l'humanité. Est-ce qu'après la partition du Soudan du Sud en 2011, il ne va pas y avoir une seconde partition, du Soudan de l'Ouest cette fois-ci ? Il y aura une partition de fait, dans la mesure où il y aura deux gouvernements rivaux qui contrôlent chacun une moitié du pays. Mais je ne pense pas qu'il y aura sécession du Darfour ou bien de l'ouest du Soudan avec le reste du pays. Ça va être, disons, une situation comme en Libye, où il y a deux administrations qui contrôlent deux portions de territoire, mais il n'y aura pas une partition du pays.

Lessons from Rwanda's Marburg Virus Outbreak and Building Resilient Systems in Global EM. Hosts: Tsion Firew, MD Brian Gilberti, MD https://media.blubrry.com/coreem/content.blubrry.com/coreem/Marburg_Virus.mp3 Download Leave a Comment Tags: Global Health, Infectious Diseases Show Notes Context and the Rwanda Marburg Experience The Threat: Marburg Virus Disease is from the same family as Ebola and has historically had a reported fatality rate as high as 90%. The Outbreak (Sept. 2024): Rwanda declared an MVD outbreak. The initial cases involved a miner, his pregnant wife (who fell ill and died after having a baby), and the baby (who also died). Healthcare Worker Impact: The wife was treated at an epicenter hospital. Eight HCWs were exposed to a nurse who was coding in the ICU; all eight developed symptoms, tested positive within a week, and four of them died. The Turning Point: The outbreak happened in city referral hospitals where advanced medical interventions (dialysis, mechanical ventilation) were available. Rapid Therapeutics Access: Within 10 days of identifying Marburg, novel therapies (experimental drugs and monoclonal antibodies) and an experimental vaccine were made available through diplomacy with the US government/CDC and agencies like WHO, Africa CDC, CEPI and more. The Outcome: This coordinated effort—combini...

The country of Rwanda in east Africa has known tremendous suffering and loss from the Genocide of 1994, in which hundreds of thousands were killed. And even though a huge percentage of Rwandans identify as believers, many mix elements of their former pagan beliefs and practices with their new Christian faith. So, the need for the Gospel to heal and correct is desperately needed. Join host Michael Woolworth and his guest, Anton De Vreugd, as Anton recalls wonderful Christians he met on his recent trip to Rwanda. That includes 12-year-old Joyeuse, who loves to write and sing her own songs about the Lord. And 63-year-old Dalie, who lost her own dear husband and son in the Rwanda Genocide but was granted strength by God to forgive those who brought such tragedy to her life.Subscribe today and invite others to listen with you.

The 3-part series “Can the record be trusted?” explores the prospects and challenges of human rights documentation and archives in the digital age, with speakers from an international expert workshop that took place at Queens University Belfast in November 2024. In this episode, Dagmar Hovestädt speaks with Robert Petit, a long-term prosecutor of international crimes - from the Rwanda Tribunal to Cambodia, Sierra Leone, and East Timor – and current head of the UN-mandated International, Impartial and Independent Mechanism (IIIM) dealing with crimes under International Law in Syria since March 2011. Only weeks after the recording of this conversation, the Assad regime fell, changing some aspects of the mechanism's mandate but keeping its core untouched. Created by the UN General Assembly in 2016 after repeated attempts to refer Syria to the ICC were vetoed, the IIIM has a unique mandate: to collect, consolidate, preserve, and analyze evidence of serious crimes under International Law committed in Syria since March 2011 – not for its own legal activities, but in the service of current and future legal accountability measures. Robert explains how the IIIM uses criminal law standards, rigorous authentication protocols and complex information management systems to build a long-term repository. It sources its information from documents and data from civil society organizations and international bodies. The IIIM generates additional evidence through witness statements and the analysis of provided documentation, all of which is only accessible to competent jurisdictions. The material collected by the IIIM has already supported 210 distinct investigations across 16 jurisdictions. About: Robert Petit is the head of the International, Impartial and Independent Mechanism (IIIM). He previously served as International Co-Prosecutor at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, Senior Trial Attorney at the Special Court for Sierra Leone, and began his international career at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda in 1996.

La France organise ce jeudi (30 octobre 2025) une conférence dite de soutien à la paix et à la prospérité dans la région des Grands lacs avec, pour objectif principal, l'aide humanitaire, notamment dans l'est de la République démocratique du Congo. L'aide humanitaire, peu évoquée lors des différents processus diplomatiques en cours et peu financée au niveau international. Quelles doivent être les priorités de cette conférence, qui ne se limite pas à la RDC et au Rwanda, mais concerne toute la région des Grands Lacs ? Que pensez-vous du rôle de Paris ?

Suchitra Vijayan speaks with Abdullahi Boru Halakhe in a conversation that traces the longue durée of exploitation and violence in the Congo from the colonial atrocities of King Leopold II to the resource wars that continue to devastate the region today. They unpack how the technologies of extraction and the politics of dispossession remain intertwined, shaping a global system in which Congolese land, labour, and life continue to underwrite the comforts of the Global North. Abdullahi situates Congo's crisis within the history of empire and its afterlives. He revisits the 19th-century “civilising mission” of Henry Morton Stanley and Leopold's personal ownership of the Congo Free State, connecting it to today's extraction of coltan, cobalt, and gold that powers Silicon Valley. From the uranium that fuelled the Manhattan Project to the minerals driving AI and green tech, he argues that the Congolese people have been made to pay for the world's progress with their blood and labour. The conversation then turns to Rwanda's complicity in the ongoing violence. Abdullahi unpacks how the legacies of the 1994 genocide, and the First and Second Congo Wars that followed, continue to shape Rwanda's sub-imperial role in the region. He details how Rwanda and Uganda act as conduits for resource extraction, exporting minerals that geologically do not exist within their borders, and how the profits of this trade flow through the Gulf states to Western markets. In this network, Congo becomes the epicentre of a global pipeline linking African sub-imperial powers, Gulf petrostates, and Western tech conglomerates: a chain of exploitation that transforms human suffering into industrial capital. The discussion broadens into an examination of how the same extractive and militarised logics underpin genocides and wars across the Global South from Congo to Sudan to Palestine. Abdullahi identifies the United Arab Emirates as a central malign actor, financing wars and shaping political economies of violence under the guise of development and modernity. What emerges is a picture of a world where the technologies of genocide — surveillance, securitisation, and resource militarisation — are integral to the global order. The episode closes with a meditation on history as resistance. For Abdullahi, liberation begins with reclaiming historical knowledge and refusing amnesia. From the Bandung Conference to the dreams of pan-African solidarity, he insists that history offers both warning and possibility: a reminder that despair is political, but so is hope. As Suchitra notes, this conversation marks a rare moment in the Technologies of Genocide series — one where history itself becomes a site of liberation, and knowledge a tool against the algorithmic erasure of human struggle. — Abdullahi Boru Halakhe is the Senior Advocate for East and Southern Africa at Refugees International. He is an African policy expert with over a decade of experience in security, conflict, human rights, refugee work, and strategic communications. He has advised organisations including the International Rescue Committee, International Crisis Group, Amnesty International, BBC, the EU, AU, USAID, and the UNDP. Abdullahi holds a Master's in International Security Policy from Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs.

The 3-part series “Can the record be trusted?” explores the prospects and challenges of human rights documentation and archives in the digital age, with speakers from an international expert workshop that took place at Queen's University Belfast in November 2024. In this episode, Dagmar Hovestädt speaks with Dr. Trudy Huskamp Peterson, international consultant on archives and human rights. With decades of experience—from the U.S. National Archives to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees—Trudy has worked with archives of truth commissions, international tribunals, and other conflict archives worldwide, including in Guatemala, South Africa, Honduras, Rwanda, Cambodia and Sierra Leone. The conversation revolves around Trudy's groundbreaking work on preserving truth commission records and explores the unresolved challenge of international tribunal archives. With multiple tribunals closing, questions about who will make access decisions and ensure long-term preservation remain desperately unresolved. From her perspective, the current next generation of vast amounts of digital data in human rights violations - from electronic records to DNA samples in conflict contexts – is to be looked at through an archival lens: "Preservation is not a problem to be solved. It is a process to be managed." About: Dr. Trudy Huskamp Peterson is an international consultant specializing in archives and human rights. She began her work at the U.S. National Archives and after 20 years embarked on an international journey in support of human rights and records. She has consulted for truth commissions, international tribunals, and the UN on archival issues worldwide.

In this in-depth interview, world champion Magdeleine Vallières Mill not only looks back at the 2025 season and the lead-up to her historic win in Kigali, Rwanda, but also ahead to next year, and the events she's targeting and how she plans to race them. The rider from Sherbrooke, Que., has seen a lot of change since September, and there's more to come. Vallières Mill talks about the mad dash to get her rainbow bike, kit and helmet soon after Kigali. She also touches on a strange nickname created by one of her EF Education-Oatly teammates. Although Vallières Mill still seems to have trouble believing she's won the world championships, she's moving forward with the opportunities that such a success can offer.

Peace Through Business: Building Peace by Empowering Women Entrepreneurs In a world often torn by conflict, peace through business may sound like a lofty goal. Yet for nearly two decades, that's exactly what Dr. Terry Neese , Monica Smiley, and the Peace Through Business Program have been accomplishing—helping women in Afghanistan, Rwanda, and now Uganda rise as entrepreneurs, leaders, and community changemakers. In the final episode of my three-part Peace Through Business podcast series, I was joined by Monica Smiley, president and founder of the Enterprising Women Foundation and publisher and CEO of Enterprising Women magazine. Monica, a long-time champion of women entrepreneurs worldwide, shared the remarkable journey of Dr. Neese, the founder of Peace Through Business, and how the Enterprising Women Foundation has joined forces to carry that mission forward. A Vision Born from a Call to Action The story began nearly twenty years ago when First Lady Laura Bush called Terry Neese with a bold request: travel with her to Afghanistan to help empower women through entrepreneurship. Despite her husband's warnings about the risks, Terry packed her bags and boarded a plane. What she witnessed changed her life. Soon after, she founded the Peace Through Business Program under the IEEW banner—a leadership and entrepreneurship training initiative designed to equip women in post-conflict nations with the tools to rebuild their lives and their communities through business ownership. Terry was no stranger to pioneering women's initiatives. She had co-founded Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP), served as a president of NAWBO (National Association of Women Business Owners), and played a pivotal role in passing H.R. 5050, the landmark legislation often called the "Big Bang" of women's entrepreneurship by creating the National Women's Business Council, laying the groundwork for a network of Women's Business Centers across the nation, and changing archaic laws that kept women from getting credit in their own names. From her base in Oklahoma City, this native of Cookie Town, Oklahoma, went on to build a global movement rooted in one core belief: economic empowerment is the path to peace. From Afghanistan to Rwanda: Courage in Action What began as a training program for Afghan women quickly expanded. Within a year, Peace Through Business added Rwanda, a country rebuilding after the genocide that took more than 800,000 lives. "In Rwanda," Monica shared, "women literally held up the sky after the genocide." Many were left as heads of households and community leaders. With support from Peace Through Business, these women learned to create sustainable enterprises that fueled their country's recovery. Rwanda is now one of the few nations in the world where women hold a majority in Parliament, a testament to their determination and leadership. One unforgettable example is Chantal, a graduate of the program who turned a personal crisis into opportunity. After a car accident left her vehicle stranded abroad for repairs, she realized there were no local body shops. Determined to change that, she founded the first woman-owned auto repair business in Rwanda—and even created the National Garage Owners Association to help others follow her lead. When Monica presented Chantal with the Enterprising Woman of the Year Award, both women were moved to tears. "She had lost over 200 family members during the genocide," Monica recalled. "It was the only time I've ever broken down during a speech. The resilience of these women is indescribable." Adapting and Persevering Through Crisis The fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban in 2021 brought enormous challenges. The program's Afghan director, Manizha, happened to be in the U.S. when the country collapsed. She immediately called her team, instructing them to destroy records to protect participants from reprisal. In the days that followed, Peace Through Business helped over 300 graduates escape the country while continuing to support those who remained. Today, the Afghan program operates entirely online. The women meet virtually several times a week in a ten-week course covering business planning, marketing, finance, taxation, and leadership. Because many participants lack internet access, the program covers their connectivity costs. As Monica noted, "It's like a mini-MBA. The women are committed attendance is strict, there are assignments, tests, and business plans are developed." Graduates then join the Peace Through Business Alumni Association, where they mentor other women and "pay it forward." The results have been extraordinary: alumnae have launched new ventures, expanded into export markets, and even entered politics as ministers and policymakers. Watch our video on YouTube Here: A Call to Action: Women Helping Women Monica's message is clear—these programs depend on us. With cutbacks to international aid, nonprofit funding is tighter than ever, even as demand grows. "We had 124 Afghan women apply for 35 openings this year," she said. "The need is overwhelming." Every dollar and every mentor counts. Mentors are matched virtually with entrepreneurs to share expertise and encouragement. Donations go directly toward training, internet access, and modest stipends for local program directors like Manizha and Chantal, who continue to risk so much for others. Monica's organization, Enterprising Women Foundation, now hosts the Peace Through Business program, helping amplify its reach and celebrating its graduates at the annual Enterprising Women of the Year Awards. The partnership exemplifies how women lifting women can create ripple effects across continents—building stronger families, economies, and, ultimately, peace. Building Peace, One Business at a Time As I closed our conversation, I reflected on how deeply these women embody resilience and hope. Their stories remind us that peace is not simply the absence of conflict—it is the presence of opportunity. When women gain access to education, mentorship, and entrepreneurship, they transform not only their own lives but the futures of entire communities. Programs like Peace Through Business show that empowering women economically is one of the most powerful peace strategies in the world. The program is now operating in Canada and the United Kingdom. It is mostly serving immigrant women entrepreneurs from around the globe who have moved to those countries and need the Peace Through Business training. The Program is becoming truly global.

Together, we can build peace—one woman, one business, and one community at a time.

Electric buses are not a pilot anymore. As Dorcus Wanjiru Kamotho explains, BasiGo already has ~100 e‑buses on the road across Kenya and Rwanda, with hundreds more reserved. The unlock: a Pay‑As‑You‑Drive model—lower deposit plus per‑km fee that covers charging and service—paired with night‑time charging on Kenya's largely renewable grid. We dive into local assembly with KVM (Thika), the new King Long platform to scale production, and how service capability (incl. CATL battery partnership) improves uptime. We also cover policy, open charging, and why passengers in Nairobi literally wait for the e‑bus even when a diesel bus arrives first. A practical blueprint for taking EV transit from proof to scale.

Over the last 40 years, Brazil has lost an area larger than California to deforestation — and 90 percent of the clear-cutting has been illegal, all part of a multi-billion-dollar global environmental crime economy. Civic entrepreneur Ilona Szabó de Carvalho sees this crisis as an opportunity. Revealing how Brazil is pioneering an economic model actually profiting from protecting nature, she shares the ambitious restoration goals and innovations in forest mapping that are turning the country into a "nature superpower." Get a glimpse of what an economy rooted in regeneration, not extraction, could look like. After the talk, Modupe reflects on her experience traveling through Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya and how you can change public opinion and treat the natural world better.Interested in learning more about upcoming TED events?

Dans ce nouveau numéro d'IDÉES, Pierre-Édouard Deldique reçoit Anne-Lorraine Bujon, la directrice de la revue «Esprit» et Matthieu Febvre-Issaly, membre de son comité de rédaction, coordinateur du dossier de ce mois-ci intitulé «Consciences de l'écologie». Le numéro d'octobre 2025 de la revue Esprit propose, en effet, une analyse des fondements de la pensée écologique contemporaine. La revue interroge les manières de penser, de vivre et de politiser l'écologie à l'heure des bouleversements climatiques. Il met en lumière l'apport théorique de penseurs français majeurs tels que André Gorz ou Pierre Charbonneau. Ces éclaireurs de la fin du XXè siècle, marginaux en leur temps, éclairent les bases philosophiques et critiques de l'écologie politique. Leurs réflexions sur la technique, la décroissance, l'autonomie ou encore la critique du consumérisme nous permettent de mettre en perspective les débats actuels et d'envisager des alternatives à la logique économique du moment. Le dossier revient notamment sur les tensions entre l'écologie radicale et l'écologie réformiste. Dans ce numéro d'IDÉES, Anne-Lorraine Bujon revient aussi sur l'éditorial du numéro qui s'inquiète de la défiance des institutions ici ou ailleurs. «Comment une société peut-elle fonctionner quand ses institutions ne sont plus crédibles ?», s'interroge-t-elle. On notera aussi dans ce numéro un long et intéressant article sur le Rwanda aujourd'hui. Il en est évidemment question dans l'émission.   Programmation musicale - Georg Philipp Telemann, Milan Turkovic, Naoko Yoshino - Sonata for Bassoon and Basso Continuo in F Minor, TWV 41:f1: I Triste  - David Rothenberg -  The Killer.

Welcome to this explosive, investigative, fact-finding edition of Light ‘Em Up!We are incredibly pleased you decided to join us for one of our most comprehensive episodes to date!Tonight, we shine the antiseptic light of the truth at the intersection of hate speech and the violence that stems from it.While a great many people on the right strongly disagree with the truth, and struggle to accept it, the fact that the radical right is far more violent than the left is unwavering. Far-right attacks continue to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism.As a kid do you remember expressing the children's rhyme that says, “Sticks and stones can break your bones, but names can never hurt you?” While this is a nice thought — it isn‘t true. Words matter; words can hurt — words can lead to murder.In the Holy Bible, the Book of Ephesians (4:29) advises: “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, which may benefit those who listen.” We need only look to the country of Rwanda in 1994 and the genocide that took place there. Collectively and pejoratively, the Tutsis were referred to as “cockroaches”.  Who acts neighborly or welcomes a cockroach into their home? Some 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed in 100 days. (The Tutsi and Hutu are ethnic groups established primarily in Rwanda and Burundi.)Evidence shows that the use of radio impacted and effected mobilization for violence in the Rwandan genocide.For more than a decade we've been exposed to the hate filled vitriol of Donald Trump. The words he willingly and intentionally chooses are often filled with hate.It is evident from his outward behavior; Donald Trump is not happy.  Barack Obama haunts him in thought, word, and past deed.Trump regularly refers to anyone who isn't in his “in-group” as “the enemy of the people” … “animals” and “scum”, you name it.His targets have been the press as a whole and individual journalists, immigrants, Blacks, LGBTQ+ people, Democrats, and whomever he chooses in the moment.His third-grade vocabulary has no filter. His political party does nothing to hold him to account for his vile, hate-filled rhetoric, even opting to echo and use it often.Rarely does he open his mouth without denigrating, dehumanizing, blaming, or accusing another person of doing something with no evidence.In this explosive episode we will highlight:—    As a case study we'll examine how hate speech can and does facilitate violence. From the genocide that took place in 1994 in Rwanda we offer a special feature in hearing from Henriette Mutegwaraba, survivor of the genocide and founder of the Million Lives Genocide relief fund.—    Multiple examples of the vile, hateful, and demagogic language that Donald Trump spews with regularity and comparing and contrasting his words with that of the Rwandan genocide.And much, much more!“The enemy of the people” are words Adolph Hitler used to describe the Jews before his “final solution” was put into effect which killed some 6 million people.This is the language of insecure, fascist, racist, dictatorial demagogues, and it is extremely dangerous.In his book entitled Behemoth, first published in 1942, Franz Neumann wrote that violence served to establish totalitarian control over German society.Violence throughout the Third Reich was used as a rational instrument of political power.Donald Trump's administration does the same.Democracy is dying right in front of us.Don't move a muscle!Tune out the world and tune-in to Light ‘Em Up — Right here and right now!Tune in and follow our sponsors Newsly and We want to hear from you!

What distinguishes fiction from facts? John le Carré is renowned for Cold War spy thrillers, yet over half his books were published after 1990 and they tackled modern issues that he had to research. A new exhibition in Oxford documents his methods, and spotlights the networks of experts who helped him.An accompanying book – titled Tradecraft: Writers on John le Carré – explores their experiences. Reflecting on her trip with the author to Congo, Michela Wrong sheds light on the collaborative process, while demystifying complex subjects such as the malevolent role of Rwanda in fomenting conflict.Michela is an Africa specialist, whose books tell engaging stories for the general reader. However, as we discuss, the most compelling non-fiction rarely matches the reach of a bestselling novel. We nonetheless reflect on the importance of reporting, and the damaging impact of scaling it back on our shared understanding.I've long been a fan of how le Carré – a.k.a. David Cornwell – laced his plots with psychological drama and moral ambiguity as people struggle to do the right thing. This has a few parallels with epic yoga narratives. Our conversation mostly covers worldly matters, but we also talk about the workings of human delusions.Finally, for non-UK listeners, here's some context on Mr Bates vs the Post Office.

Wanawake ni nguzo muhimu katika maendeleo ya kilimo na jamii za vijijini. Mfuko wa Umoja wa Mataifa wa Maendeleo ya Kilimo( IFAD) inahakikisha zaidi ya asilimia 50 ya washiriki wa miradi yake ni wanawake, kwa lengo la kuimarisha usawa wa kijinsia na kupunguza umaskini. Kupitia mafunzo, huduma za kifedha, na upatikanaji wa masoko, wanawake wanawezeshwa kiuchumi na kijamii. Tafiti zinaonesha kuwa kufuta pengo la kijinsia katika kilimo kunaweza kuongeza pato la dunia kwa asilimia 1. Nchini Rwanda, miradi kama R-YES imewezesha wanawake vijana kuanzisha biashara za kilimo na kutoa ajira. Sheilah Jepngetich na taarifa zaidi.

Hii leo jaridani tunaangazia mifumo ya tahadhari za mapema dhidi ya majanga, elimu kuhusu uraia nchini Sudan kusini, na kilimo endelevu na vijana nchini Rwanda.Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa António Guterres amesema mifumo ya tahadhari za mapema dhidi ya majanga si chaguo tena, bali ni lazima kwa kila mtu duniani, akisisitiza kuwa hatua hizo zinaokoa maisha na mali.Kuanzia furaha ya uhuru hadi maumivu ya kurejea kwa mzozo, safari ya amani ya kudumu Sudan Kusini imekuwa ndefu na bado inaendelea. Licha ya changamoto hizo, matumaini bado ni makubwa miongoni mwa jamii nchini kote kwamba uchaguzi wa amani, huru na wa haki utaleta usalama uliotafutwa kwa muda mrefu pamoja na fursa za maendeleo na ukuaji wa uchumi.Wanawake ni nguzo muhimu katika maendeleo ya kilimo na jamii za vijijini.

It's Monday, October 20th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes, written by Jonathan Clark, heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  Filling in for Adam McManus I'm Ean Leppin. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Human Rights Conference in Berlin Highlights Christian Persecution Human rights experts met in Berlin, Germany last Wednesday, highlighting the increased persecution of Christians worldwide.  The International Society for Human Rights released a new report on Christian persecution at the conference.  The report notes that Christians suffer under dictatorial states like China, Cuba, and North Korea. They remain victims of discrimination and violence without state protections in countries like Egypt, Syria, Nigeria, India, and Myanmar. And believers face persecution in Islamic republics like Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan.  The conference also highlighted the suffering of Ukrainian Christians under Russian occupation. Johann Matthies with the Evangelical Alliance in Germany said, “Russian occupation authorities are specifically targeting Ukrainian religious communities: they are pressuring churches to cooperate or destroying them if they refuse.” Psalm 34:15-16 says, “The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry. The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.” President Trump Continues Efforts to End Russian-Ukrainian War U.S. President Donald Trump continues his efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. President Trump spoke over the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin last Thursday. He then met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House last Friday. President Trump also plans on meeting with President Putin in Budapest, Hungary in the coming weeks. Listen to comments from President Trump. TRUMP: "I met with President Zelensky, as you know, today, and we had a very good meeting; very cordial meeting. In my opinion, they should stop the war immediately. You stop at the battle line, and both sides should go home, go to their families, stop the killing, and that should be it. Stop right now at the battle line. I told that to President Zelensky. I told it to President Putin. Thank you very much, everybody." Russia Proposes a Rail Tunnel Under the Bering Strait Reuters reports Russia proposed a “Putin-Trump” rail tunnel under the Bering Strait to link the two nations. The eight billion dollar proposal follows President Donald Trump's phone call with President Vladimir Putin. Russia's proposal would involve building a 70-mile rail and cargo tunnel between Alaska and Russia's eastern region of Chukotka. The plan suggested Elon Musk's Boring Company for the construction project. President Trump called the idea “interesting,” saying, “We'll have to think about that.”  Trump Moves to Reduce the Cost of IVF Last Thursday, President Donald Trump announced a deal with the pharmaceutical industry to reduce the cost of in vitro fertilization. The Trump administration hailed the move as pro-family. However, pro-life groups are criticizing the plan.  LifeSiteNews noted, “The IVF process is gravely unethical as it entails the conscious creation of scores of ‘excess' embryonic humans only to be killed and human lives being treated like commodities to be bartered over. It has been estimated that more than a million embryos are frozen in storage in the United States following IVF, and that as many as 93 percent of all embryos created through IVF are eventually destroyed.” Conservative Anglicans Split from the Church of England Conservative Anglicans formally split from the Church of England last week. The Global Anglican Future Conference, also known as GAFCON, declared itself to be the Global Anglican Communion. It will no longer participate in meetings called by the Church of England's Archbishop of Canterbury.  Sarah Mullally is the recently appointed Archbishop of Canterbury. She is the first female to hold the position and supports same-sex blessings. Bishop Laurent Mbanda is the chairman of the GAFCON Primates' Council as well as the Primate of Rwanda. He wrote, “We cannot continue to have communion with those who . . . abandoned the inerrant word of God as the final authority.” Isaiah 8:20 says, “To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Pew Research: Divorce Rates are Down in the U.S. And finally, Pew Research reports divorce rates, and specifically refined divorce rates, are down in the U.S. Unlike the overall divorce rate, the refined divorce rate takes into account changes in the number of people who are married at any given time.  This refined divorce rate peaked in the U.S. around 1980 at 22.6 divorces per 1,000 married women. By 2023, it had declined to 14.4 divorces per 1,000 married women.  The report noted that married men are more likely to be employed than divorced men. Also married adults have higher household incomes and hold more wealth than divorced adults.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, October 20th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – Trump has brokered a total of eight peace deals with warring countries, including India-Pakistan, Cambodia-Thailand, D.R. Congo and Rwanda, and Israel and the UAE, to name a few. While anything could send the current peace deal into a tailspin, what Trump has done is more than any other president has, and it should be recognized as such...

For over 30 years, Ken Isaacs has (literally) run into the fires of war, genocide, and natural disaster around the world. Serving with Samaritan's Purse alongside my dad, Ken has seen and experienced evil so total, contrasted by miracles that have no explanation outside of the hand of God. Today on Fearless Ken shares the heart behind his new book—Running to the Fire—plus what led him to a life spent serving the Lord and going where God has called, even when there are no roads. From witnessing genocide in Rwanda to negotiating with warlords in Afghanistan, Ken talks about some of the experiences that have shaped a life spent saying yes to God. But in addition to those unbelievable stories, Ken also shares the childhood experiences that prepared his heart for a life spent on mission, the struggles missionary families often face, and why he's never afraid to lead with the Gospel, even in the most hostile of environments. Ken's life of obedience should inspire each of us to trust God and His timing, whether we're called to serve across the world or simply across the hallway of our own homes. Find Ken's new book here: https://www.amazon.com/Running-Fire-Helping-Jesus-Name/dp/083078845X. 

Canada and the island of Saint Lucia celebrate a Thanksgiving holiday in October. Liberia sets aside a day for giving thanks at the beginning of November, while the US and Australia mark the annual holiday at the end of the month. Other countries, including the United Kingdom, Brazil, Rwanda, and the Philippines, have unofficial days to foster gratitude. There’s something powerful about a nation collectively expressing gratitude. It’s a picture we see when King David assembled the nation of Israel to give thanks to God for His presence, protection, and promises. The celebration marked the return of the “ark of God” (1 Chronicles 16:1). The people rejoiced that the ark, a symbol of God’s presence with them, was in Jerusalem. As David led Israel in praise, he reminded them of God’s protection as the nation conquered the land of Canaan (vv.18-22) and celebrated God’s faithfulness to fulfill His promises (v. 15). If you celebrate a Thanksgiving holiday with friends and family, consider making it a gratitude gathering and reflecting together on the ways you’ve experienced God’s presence, protection, and promises over the past year. Whether or not you live in a country that officially celebrates Thanksgiving, each of us can take time to express gratitude to the “Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever” (v. 34).
