Baie van die inhoud van die media, wat voorheen hoofsaaklik betroubare joernalistiek weerspieël het, het in opruiende propaganda verval. Om dit net erger te maak, word ons gebombardeer deur die sosiale media-algoritmes wat baie mense in ‘n draaikolk van samesweringsteorieë intrek.Tydens die Rwandese volksmoord van 1994 het die media 'n verwoestende rol gespeel in die aanhitsing en versterking van die geweld. Die staatsgesteunde radio, televisie en gedrukte media het haatpropaganda uitgesaai en gedruk. Tutsi's is as "kakkerlakke" bestempel en daar is openlik gesê hulle moet vernietig word.Daardeur is aanvalle gekoördineer, wegkruipplekke onthul en gewone burgers aangemoedig om die vyand dood te maak. Eerder as om inligting te gee, het die media aktief volksmoord aangevuur en woorde in wapens omskep. Mense het die media geglo en daarop gereageer. Dit het byna 'n miljoen lewens in net 100 dae gekos. Dit is wat gebeur wanneer die skrikwekkende krag van propaganda sonder morele beperking gebruik word. Drie millennia gelede het Salomo die volgende geskryf:Spreuke 29:2 As 'n gelowige die mag oorneem, juig die mense. As slegte mense aan bewind kom, kla die volk. (DB)Daar word gesê dat die mense gewoonlik die regerings kry wat hulle verdien. Ek weet nie, maar watter regeringstelsel jy ook al onder leef, wees versigtig; wees baie versigtig oor wie jy ondersteun; wat jy kies om te glo, of te verwerp; en wat jy kies om te sê.Wat is ons plig? Ons werk is om die regverdiges te help om gesag te kry sodat die mense bly kan wees ... nie om blindelings die propaganda wat ons nuus en sosiale media vir ons opdis, te glo en na te boots nie.Dis God se Woord. Vars ... vir jou ... vandag.Support the showEnjoying The Content?For the price of a cup of coffee each month, you can enable Christianityworks to reach 10,000+ people with a message about the love of Jesus!DONATE R50 MONTHLY

De Congo en de Nijl. Het zijn tegenpolen die niets gemeen lijken te hebben, die totaal gescheiden werelden vertegenwoordigen, maar die hun wortels in hetzelfde gebied hebben. Bij de bronnen zijn ze identiek. En midden in dit gebied vinden we Rwanda: het Land van de Duizend Heuvels. En het lot wil dat Rwanda bekendstaat om een even zo scherpe dualiteit. Hutu’s en Tutsi’s. Ruim dertig jaar na dato zijn Rwanda en genocide nog steeds synoniemen van elkaar. Geen mens vergeet deze menselijke hel op te nemen in de lijst met grootste onmenselijkheden die de mensheid ooit heeft begaan. Maar inmiddels staat er een zon op de Rwandese vlag. Het land telt weer mee, en hoe. Het verhaal van Rwanda leest als een sprookje. Is het ook een sprookje?

Grâce à « Visit Rwanda », sponsor du PSG et d'Arsenal, Kigali profite de la finale de Ligue des champions pour imposer sa stratégie de soft power sportif. Depuis plusieurs années, le Rwanda investit massivement dans le football mondial pour transformer son image, développer son tourisme et attirer investisseurs et visiteurs fortunés. Avant même le coup d'envoi de la finale de Ligue des champions entre le Paris Saint-Germain et Arsenal, un vainqueur se dessine déjà. Et ce n'est aucun des deux clubs. C'est le Rwanda. Grâce à « Visit Rwanda », sponsor des deux équipes finalistes. Il suffira de regarder attentivement les maillots des joueurs pour apercevoir le logo de la campagne touristique rwandaise. Depuis plusieurs années, Kigali investit massivement dans le sport international pour transformer son image. L'objectif est clair, faire du Rwanda une véritable marque mondiale. Longtemps, le pays a surtout été associé au génocide des Tutsi de 1994. Aujourd'hui, le gouvernement de Paul Kagame veut imposer un autre récit, celui d'un pays stable, moderne, organisé, tourné vers l'innovation, le tourisme premium et les affaires. Et pour cela, le sport offre une caisse de résonance unique. Car aucun autre secteur ne permet de toucher autant de personnes, en direct, partout dans le monde. Arsenal puis le PSG, la stratégie sportive du Rwanda Le premier grand tournant intervient en 2018 avec Arsenal. À l'époque, voir un État africain sponsoriser un géant de Premier League surprend. Mais immédiatement, la visibilité explose. Chaque week-end, des millions de téléspectateurs voient le nom du Rwanda sur les manches des joueurs londoniens. Et Arsenal n'a pas été choisi au hasard. Grâce à son image internationale, le club constitue une porte d'entrée idéale vers les classes moyennes supérieures et les élites internationales susceptibles de venir au Rwanda. Kigali cherche en effet à attirer des visiteurs à fort pouvoir d'achat. Puis avec le PSG, le Rwanda change d'échelle. Les montants engagés sont loin d'être anecdotiques. Selon plusieurs estimations, l'accord signé en 2019 avec le Paris Saint-Germain rapporterait environ 15 millions d'euros par an au club de la capitale. Pour Kigali, cet investissement est pleinement assumé. Derrière ces dépenses, il y a la volonté de promouvoir le tourisme, un secteur essentiel pour le pays puisqu'il représente environ 12 % de son économie. Le Rwanda veut d'ailleurs aller encore plus loin avec l'ambition de franchir la barre du milliard de dollars de recettes touristiques annuelles d'ici la fin de la décennie.

Le sport comme outil de puissance économique L'idée est donc d'utiliser le marketing non pas pour vendre un produit, mais un pays. Le Qatar l'a fait avec le PSG. Abou Dhabi avec Manchester City. Pour le Rwanda, la stratégie semble fonctionner. Les recettes touristiques ont progressé et le nombre de visiteurs dépasse désormais 1,3 million par an. Kigali accueille également de grands événements sportifs internationaux comme les championnats du monde de cyclisme organisés récemment ou encore des compétitions de basket avec la Basketball Africa League. Autrement dit, le sport est devenu un accélérateur économique. Et la stratégie ne s'arrête plus à l'Europe. Le Rwanda se tourne désormais vers les États-Unis avec la signature de partenariats avec deux franchises américaines majeures : les Los Angeles Clippers en NBA et les Los Angeles Rams en NFL. D'autres pays africains adoptent progressivement la même logique. La République démocratique du Congo sponsorise désormais plusieurs grands clubs européens comme le FC Barcelone, l'AS Monaco ou encore l'AC Milan. Le sport n'est donc plus seulement un espace de concurrence diplomatique entre États. Cette concurrence est désormais aussi économique.

Thirty years after the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, some convicted perpetrators are returning to the communities they once devastated. Felin Gakwaya travels to eastern Rwanda to meet both survivors and perpetrators living side by side again. He hears from Daniel Gasangwa, who went to visit the men who killed members of his family after they were released from prison — and told them not to be afraid, because they had been forgiven. He also meets Steven Ngabonziza, whose own path to forgiveness came not first through church, but through war, prison discipline and the slow work of reconciliation. And he hears from Viateur Ruribikiye, a perpetrator who now speaks of confession, repentance and God's pardon. Through their stories, which include discussions of violence and loss, the programme explores forgiveness not as an abstract idea, but as something lived out in villages, churches, homes and memories that have not gone away. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from Heart and Soul, exploring personal approaches to spirituality from around the world.

In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, Ugandan veteran politician and NRM stalwart Captain Mike Mukula shares a rare insider perspective on the events that shaped modern Rwanda and East Africa. From his early interactions with Paul Kagame and Fred Rwigema before 1990, to witnessing the aftermath of the Rwandan Civil War and 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, Captain Mukula offers a firsthand account of pivotal moments in African history.The conversation explores the lived reality of Rwandan refugees in Uganda, the role of the Rwandan Patriotic Front, and what it takes to create stability in volatile regions like northern Uganda and Karamoja. We also examine the hidden costs of stability, the use of force versus dialogue, and the future of leadership in Uganda and East Africa.This is a deep discussion on power, conflict, regional politics, and the decisions that shaped Rwanda, Uganda, and the Great Lakes region.Sponsors:Threat Informat - https://threatinformant.io/                                               Akagera Medicines- https://www.akageramedicines.com Join our Patreon to enjoy ad-free viewing https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheLongFormPod or support us via our MTN Mobile Money Code 95462 or directly to our phone number: +250795462739Visit Sanny Ntayombya's Official Website: https://sannyntayombya.comProduced by LF Media

Tonight, on this intense, explosive episode of Light ‘Em Up, we re-double our focus on Israel's top war criminal, Bibi Netanyahu's illegal war with Iran — that Donald Trump was so easily suckered into.We were tracking and watching the clock — in a full-fledged countdown like on New Year's Eve in Times Square … to see if Donald Trump would carry out his threat to end Iran's entire civilization — and with less than 1 hour remaining in the deadline, TACO! Trump Chickened Out — he blinked! As we predicted he would.Trump typically does back down or chicken out. As a bully, he doesn't have much of a stomach for push back — so much so that he has earned an acronym for himself.“TACO” (Trump Always Chickens Out)!The events of the War in Iran are fluid and rapidly changing.As of 4/18 the death toll from the war has risen to more than 3,300 people killed in Iran and over 2,100 people have been killed in Lebanon during Trump & Bibi's war of choice.Coming up … on this exclusive episode:There's been so much talk on TV about war crimes —We'll investigate what exactly constitutes a war crime?  Where does this authority originate?We'll educate and empower you regarding the ICC (The International Criminal Court) and The Geneva Conventions.Much of Donald Trump and the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's communications amount to orders to violate the laws of war and have put the U.S. and its servicemen on an unavoidable path with committing war crimes, notably Trump's explicit threats against civilian infrastructure and statements regarding “collective punishment” and Hegseth's “no quarter” comments.  U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres warned the U.S. that attacks on civilian infrastructure are banned under international law.Under the U.N. Charter, nations are only permitted to use force against another nation if it has been authorized by the Security Council or in self-defense. The U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, not the other way around.When Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th, 2023, it was widely documented as the deadliest attack in Israel's history and the single worst one-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. It is considered one of the worst terrorist attacks in world history, ranking as the third deadliest since data collection began in 1970 — yet Israel attacks Iran, Lebanon and Gaza in the exact same fashion daily.Does it ever end?  Will the killing ever stop?We'll unpack:—  A few extra special demented social media posts by Trump that have led us to the current situation.  When War Crimes Rhetoric Becomes Battlefield Reality: The Slippery Slope to Total War and War Crimes with Iran.It is important to point out that rhetoric becomes war crimes when it moves beyond political speech to openly incite, authorize, or threaten grave violations of international humanitarian law. You don't have to believe me, just ask any Tutsi from the 1994 genocide in Rwanda.The cognitively challenged Republican president often oscillates between heated threats, announced delays, and proclamations that the negotiations were going well, … sometimes in the same statement — as he conducts foreign policy online from his Truth Social profile.If Joe Biden attempted anything close to this the legacy news media would soil themselves and be screaming at the top of their lungs calling for the invocation of the 25th Amendment.Why the hypocrisy?Tune in for all the explosive details and our sponsors Newsly & Feedspot!We want to hear from you!We want to hear from you!Support the show

32 lata temu w Rwandzie trwał 14. dzień ludobójstwa.Zaczęło się 6 kwietnia 1994 roku, kiedy rząd Rwandy wezwał większość Hutu do eksterminacji mniejszości Tutsi. W ciągu zaledwie trzech miesięcy zamordowano od 800 tysięcy do miliona osób.13 miesięcy po zakończeniu rzezi do Rwandy przyjechał amerykański reporter. Kilka lat później ukazała się jedna z najgłośniejszych i najważniejszych książek o rwandyjskim ludobójstwie pod wymownym tytułem „Pragniemy zawiadomić, że jutro zostaniemy zabici wraz z rodzinami”.Philip Gourevitch jest gościem tego odcinka „Raportu o książkach”.Rozmawiamy o tym, dlaczego świat Zachodu i powołane do tego instytucje nie zdołały zapobiec masakrze, mimo że miały wszystkie potrzebne informacje, by zareagować.Czy to brzmi znajomo?Upiorna powtarzalność historii sprawia, że reportaż sprzed trzech dekad jest dziś tekstem aktualnym, obnażającym słabość i kruchość dającego niegdyś nadzieję hasła „nigdy więcej”.Prowadzenie: Agata KasprolewiczGość: Philip GourevitchKsiążka: Philip Gourevitch „Pragniemy zawiadomić, że jutro zostaniemy zabici wraz z rodzinami”, przekład: Adrian Stachowski, Wydawnictwo Filia---------------------------------------------Raport o stanie świata to audycja, która istnieje dzięki naszym Patronom, dołącz się do zbiórki ➡️ ⁠https://patronite.pl/DariuszRosiak⁠Subskrybuj newsletter Raportu o stanie świata ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠➡️ ⁠https://dariuszrosiak.substack.com⁠Koszulki i kubki Raportu ➡️ ⁠https://patronite-sklep.pl/kolekcja/raport-o-stanie-swiata/⁠ [Autopromocja]

Ref.: Bischof Edouard Sinayobye, Diözese Cyangugu, RuandaRef.: Diakon Michael Wielath, Afrikabeauftragter von radio horeb Ruanda ist das Land der "Mutter des Wortes": In den 1980ger Jahren erschien im ruandischen Kibeho drei jungen Mädchen die Muttergottes. Ruanda ist aber auch das Land des blutigen Völkermords im Jahr 1994, den die Muttergottes vorausgesagt hatte. Damals waren etwa ein Million Menschen ermordet worden, vor allem aus der Volksgruppe der Tutsi. Und noch heute leiden das Land wie auch seine Nachbarländer unter den Folgen. Bischof Edouard Sinayobye hat deshalb in seinem Bistum Cyangugu ein Zentrum der Versöhnung gegründet, das "Center for the Secret of Peace". Im Standpunkt sprechen wir am Barmherzigkeitssonntag mit Bischof Sinayobye und dem Afrika-Beauftragten von radio horeb, Diakon Michael Wielath, über die besondere Berufung Ruandas, in einer Welt voller neu aufbrechender Gewalt und Kriege Zeugnis für die christliche Botschaft der Vergebung und Versöhnung abzulegen.

À l'occasion du 32e anniversaire du génocide des Tutsi au Rwanda, le pays commémore l'événement. Trois décennies plus tard, les nouvelles générations, héritières d'un traumatisme qu'elles ne connaissent pas, tentent d'appréhender l'événement à leur façon. Elles utilisent l'art, le tourisme et l'entrepreneuriat pour déverrouiller le récit national.

Au Rwanda, ce mardi 7 avril marque le début des commémorations du génocide perpétré contre les Tutsis en 1994. Un hommage aux plus de 800 000 victimes des massacres commis. Godelieve Mukasarasi est une survivante. Elle est Hutu. Son mari, qui était Tutsi, a été assassiné, ainsi qu'un de ses enfants. Elle a été violée pendant le génocide. Mais depuis 32 ans, elle se bat et accompagne avec son association Sevota les femmes victimes de violences sexuelles, ainsi que les enfants nés de viols. Elle raconte son parcours et son engagement dans un livre qui vient de paraître, La Réparatrice, co-écrit avec la journaliste française Capucine Graby et publié aux éditions Grasset. Godelieve Mukasarasi est l'invitée de Charlotte Idrac. RFI : Pourquoi avoir choisi ce titre pour votre livre « La Réparatrice » ? Godelieve Mukasarasi : Parce qu'il reflète le rôle que je me suis donné après le génocide. Réparer les vies brisées, les liens sociaux détruits et les blessures invisibles des survivantes. Pour moi, je ne me présente pas comme une victime uniquement, mais comme une personne qui aide à reconstruire la dignité et la mémoire collective du Rwanda. Réparer les femmes, réparer les enfants, réparer le tissu communautaire, mais aussi réparer la mémoire brisée par le génocide. Vous avez à travers votre organisation, Sevota, accompagné et réparé plus de 1000 femmes violées et enfants nés de viols. C'est la parole qui est pour vous au cœur du processus de reconstruction ? Des survivantes ont été réduites au silence par la honte, la peur ou la stigmatisation. Leur offrir un espace où elles peuvent parler, s'exprimer en toute liberté et être écoutées et reconnues, c'est déjà une forme de guérison. C'est reprendre du pouvoir sur son histoire. Dans nos espaces de paroles, nous constatons que certaines formes d'expression comme la prière en écho, la chanson, la poésie, les sketchs, le théâtre viennent compléter la parole et ouvrir d'autres chemins de guérison : S'accepter soi-même comme femme survivante, accepter son enfant né de violences. Et elles ont inventé une chanson qui signifie « nos enfants sont beaux, sont très beaux pour Le Rwanda, » avec des refrains qui reconstruisent. Vous-même, comme femme et mère dans une famille survivante, qu'est-ce qui vous donne la force et ce goût des autres personnes survivantes ? Quand j'ai créé Sevota, c'était une promesse que j'avais fait pendant le génocide, lorsqu'on venait tuer mes enfants et mon mari. Et là, dans ma prière, j'avais dit « Si Dieu m'aide à ce que mes enfants soient rescapés, j'allais créer une œuvre charismatique ». J'ai refusé que la souffrance définisse ma vie. Chaque fois que je vois un jeune né de violences sourire ou qu'il a un succès malgré son histoire, chaque fois qu'une mère accepte d'embrasser son enfant né du hasard, alors nous sommes debout. Si nous avons survécu, c'est pour vivre. À travers l'organisation Sevota, vous avez donc accompagné ce que vous appelez « les enfants nés du hasard », nés de violences sexuelles, de viols, parfois rejetés par leur mère et longtemps stigmatisés. Mais vous dites que leur image a changé. Dans quel sens ? L'image des enfants nés du hasard dans le temps était mauvaise. Ils étaient nommés « enfants du malheur », « enfants de la brousse », « enfants miliciens comme leur père », « Judas » ou « traître ». Aujourd'hui, grâce à l'accompagnement, ils sont aujourd'hui davantage considérés comme des enfants innocents. Ils ne sont plus définis uniquement par les circonstances de leur naissance, sans identité, mais ils sont affirmés par leur talent, leur ambition et leur réussite. En somme, l'image est passée de victimes stigmatisées à jeunes porteurs d'avenir. Plus de 30 ans après le génocide commis contre les Tutsis en 1994 au Rwanda, comment le traumatisme se transmet-il dans la société rwandaise, sachant que 70 % de la population est née après ? Pour moi, je pense que le traumatisme se transmet aujourd'hui de manière transgénérationnelle. Les jeunes nés après le génocide doivent intégrer un passé qu'ils n'ont pas vécu. Les psychologues soulignent le besoin des tiers qui les accompagnent, c'est-à-dire les enseignants formés, des thérapeutes, le personnel des différentes institutions qui doivent être formés pour aider à transformer ce traumatisme en mémoire constructive. Vous évoquez dans votre livre le procès Pélicot en France après les viols répétés subis par Gisèle Pélicot sous soumission chimique. Vous parlez d'un point de bascule. Quel écho, pour vous, a eu ce procès ? Le procès de Gisèle Pélicot, en France, a marqué une rupture dans la manière dont la société française et internationale aborde des violences sexuelles. Pour la reconnaissance des victimes et la lutte contre l'impunité.

So much of what is happening these days seems utterly nonsensical, from Trump’s war crime and profanity-laced Easter rant, to the whipsaw on Iran. So, is it simply Occam’s razor, or is there more going on here than we’re led to believe? Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it. — President Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom: A Call for the Emancipation of the Generous Energies of a People (1913) The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson — and I am not wholly excepting the Administration of W. W. The country is going through a repetition of Jackson’s fight with the Bank of the United States — only on a far bigger and broader basis. — President Franklin D. Roosevelt, letter to Col. Edward Mandell House (21 November 1933); as quoted in F.D.R.: His Personal Letters, 1928-1945, edited by Elliott Roosevelt (New York: Duell, Sloan and Pearce, 1950), pg. 373 I would suggest nothing we’re seeing, including (especially) the seemingly nonsensical, is ‘accidental’ or coincidental. It is PSYOP/PSWAR, a potent toxic mixture of POSIWID and chaos theory designed and intended to rapidly produce maximum chaos resulting in a ‘Clash of Civilizations‘ and The End of History and the Last Man, to ultimately bring about a ‘Novus Ordo Seclorum’1234 a la Genesis 11 → Genesis 6 → culminating in Psalm 2 → Revelation 19.

Needless to say, this is not what Washington, Madison, Adams, Jefferson, and Franklin had in mind when they founded the US Constitutional Republic. Members of the US government—as well as We the People—should think about the reflections of multiple Roman authors who regarded the total annihilation of Carthage as an outrage and repudiation of Rome's republican values and virtues. In the Aeneid, Virgil frames the Punic Wars as a fateful conflict initiated by the Punic Queen Dido’s curse on Aeneas’s descendants. I interpret this as Virgil's way of condemning the “unspeakable” destruction of Carthage. The American people should be aware of the fact that if our US government does indeed annihilate the Iranian nation forever, it will certainly have a vast array of terrible consequences for us and for all of mankind. Among other disasters, it is likely that millions of Iranians will be forced to flee to other lands, including those of Europe. Many young men who see their mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters suffer will be animated with a burning desire for revenge. I anticipate great horrors ahead for all of us.

He wasn’t. Nagging wives needed to be careful in 19th Century England, for, as Hardy recounted in The Mayor of Casterbridge, her husband might put her up for sale. That's just what happened on this day to Mary Thompson, according to a local newspaper report. 1829 – Joseph Smith, Jr., founder of the Latter Day Saint cult, commences translation of the Book of Mormon, with Oliver Cowdery as his scribe. 1827 – First friction match sold: English chemist John Walker produced and sold the first operable matches.

Ipswich, April 7. Last Saturday Samuel Partridge was executed here, for robbing Mr. Barwell of Brockley in this City, of 31l, 10s., a Horse, and other Things, in Company with another Person not yet taken. He said he was born at Debden in Suffolk, that he was about 22 years of Age, and was brought up in Husbandry; he appeared to be very illiterate, for he could neither read nor write, and was entirely ignorant of the first Principles of Christianity. He denied the Fact for which he suffered, and said he was perswaded to own the Robbery by a Soldier that was in Halsted Bridewell with him, he telling him, that if he confessed the Fact he would come off very well; and that he advised him to say, that he had made use of a Bolt instead of a Pistol, and that he had hid it in a certain Place, where it was found according to his Direction. At the Place of Execution he seemed very stupid and unconcern'd; only, as directed, he called on God for Mercy when he was turned off.

Em mensagem, secretário-geral presta tributo às vítimas e diz que mundo tem que aprender com erros do passado rejeitando ódio, retórica inflamatória e incitação à violência; em apenas 100 dias, mais de 1 milhão de pessoas foram assassinadas no país africanos.

For over three decades Rwanda has been recovering from the almost unimaginable horror of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi.On Tuesday the UN commemorated the systematic crimes committed there – in which more than one million people were killed – with ceremonies held at several of its offices around the world.The event was attended by survivors of the massacre, senior UN officials and representatives of the Rwandan authorities including Karoli Martin Ngoga, Permanent Representative of Rwanda to the United Nations.He sat down with UN News's Assumpta Massoi and explained the significance of the ceremony held at UN headquarters in New York.

Riflessioni di Ajahn Jayasaro. Naturalmente, nel mondo nel suo complesso, l'esistenza degli altri esseri umani non dipende dai nostri sentimenti nei loro confronti. Ma nel nostro mondo personale, le persone diventano esseri umani per noi solo quando permettiamo loro di esserlo. Rifiutare di riconoscere l'umanità degli altri è uno dei modi più comuni utilizzati per consentirci di trattarli in maniera cattiva. Un fattore importante nel genocidio del Rwanda del 1994 furono i ripetuti riferimenti dei leader Hutu nei confronti dei Tutsi come scarafaggi. Il primo e più importante dono che possiamo offrire a chi ci circonda è il riconoscimento della nostra umanità condivisa. Non dovremmo mai arrivare a considerare altri esseri umani come insetti o parassiti e di fatto, come buddhisti, anche se lo facessimo ciò non giustificherebbe alcuna violenza contro di loro. Tuttavia, potremmo coltivare indifferenza verso gli altri chiudendo gli occhi di fronte alla loro umanità. Potremmo farlo per ottenere qualcosa o per proteggere la nostra salute mentale, oppure farlo inconsciamente, perché assorti in noi stessi. Ma saggezza e compassione sono sempre congiunte. Per la nostra felicità e benessere duraturi, aprirci al terreno comune che condividiamo con gli altri, specialmente con i nostri simili, è il modo migliore e più intelligente di vivere le nostre vite. Ajahn Jayasāro, 22 novembre 2025

Un million de morts, deux millions de personnes exilées, tout ça en quelques semaines. Une partie entière de la population est lynchée et mise à mort à la fois par l'État et par leurs propres voisins de palier. Qu'est ce qui a bien pu se passer au Rwanda en 1994 ? Comment une minorité, les Tutsis, se sont-ils retrouvés pris pour cible par leurs compatriotes ? Comment des attaques de plus en plus virulentes à la radio contre une population ont pu se transformer en campagnes de haine puis en appel au meurtre ? C'est aujourd'hui un épisode difficile de l'Histoire qu'on va aborder sur Nota Bene : le génocide des Tutsis au Rwanda, en 1994. Comme toujours, avec l'équipe mais aussi avec l'aide de spécialistes de la question et même de rescapés des massacres, on a tenté de prendre du recul sur ce qui s'est passé, de comprendre les raisons profondes de ce drame terrible et de voir quelles conséquences, ou pas, on en a tiré aujourd'hui. Bonne écoute !

W kwietniu 2026 roku Rwanda będzie obchodziła 32. rocznicę traumatycznego ludobójstwa. Między 7 kwietnia, a 17 lipca 1994 roku, w ciągu zaledwie stu dni, od 800 tysięcy do miliona Tutsi i Hutu zostało zmasakrowanych. Byliśmy w Miejscu Pamięci Ludobójstwa, a także w Rwanda Art Museum ze szczątkami zestrzelonego samolotu prezydenckiego i Kandt House Museum, dawnej rezydencji pierwszego niemieckiego gubernatora. Zajrzeliśmy do Hotelu Rwanda, a właściwie Hotel des Mille Collines, ikonicznego miejsca rozsławionego przez film. Odwiedziliśmy też jezioro Kiwu, zaliczane do pięciu Wielkich Jezior Afrykańskich, leżące co prawda w pięknym otoczeniu lasów deszczowych, ale nazywane „jeziorem-zabójcą”. Odpowiedzieliśmy również na pytanie, jak to się stało, że Rwanda jest jednym z najczystszych krajów świata. Gościem Jerzego Jopa był Dariusz Drajewicz, fotografik, reportażysta, podróżnik, filmolog, doktor nauk prawnych, dyrektor Międzynarodowego Instytutu Sztuki Akademii Polonijnej.

For hundreds of years, Rwanda's Hutu and Tutsi groups had lived in relative harmony. But the arrival of European colonists enforced and exaggerated the differences between them, until, from the mid-twentieth century, resentment began to boil over. By 1994, the two groups were sworn enemies. Over 100 days, violence engulfed the country, as members of the Hutu majority worked systematically to exterminate the Tutsi. Spurred on by government and military officials, neighbour turned against neighbour, friend against friend, until hundreds of thousands lay dead.   But what precipitated this senseless mass killing? Why were so many ordinary people willing to participate? And what responsibility does the international community bear for the bloodshed? This is a Short History Of the Rwandan Genocide.

In 1994, the nation of Rwanda endured a brutal 100-day spasm of violence that tore families apart and claimed the lives of over one million people. Members of the ethnic minority Tutsi group were hunted down and murdered by members of the larger Hutu group. While this was the worst episode of violence between the two groups, it was not the first. What added to the tragedy was that while the horrific events unfolded, the rest of the world stood by and did nothing.  Learn about the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, why it happened, and how it unfolded on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

This episode was recorded for my UK Column show.Jeremy Kuzmarov—author, historian and managing editor of CovertAction Magazine—argues that the Rwandan genocide is a myth, suggesting instead that it was a civil war influenced by foreign interests, including the CIA, MI6, and Mossad, as well as various governments.He points out that the Tutsi-led Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) was backed by the US and UK to gain control over the Congo's mineral wealth.Plus, Jeremy challenges the mainstream portrayal of the conflict (such as Hotel Rwanda), asserting that both Hutu and Tutsi committed atrocities, and criticises the Western media for perpetuating a simplified narrative that ignores the truth.CovertAction website: https://covertactionmagazine.com➡️ Jerm Warfare website: https://www.jermwarfare.com

Y aura-t-il une rencontre Kagame-Tshisekedi à Washington d'ici Noël ? Rien n'est moins sûr. « Il n'y aura la paix dans l'est du Congo que si les génocidaires FDLR sont neutralisés », affirme sur RFI le ministre rwandais des Affaires étrangères, Olivier Nduhungirehe, qui déplore le manque de volonté politique de Kinshasa pour lancer cette opération. Le ministre précise qu'une telle neutralisation des FDLR « ouvrira la voie à la levée des mesures de défense du Rwanda » au Congo. En ligne de Luanda, où il vient d'assister au septième sommet Afrique-Europe, le chef de la diplomatie rwandaise répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Où en sont les discussions entre votre pays et la République démocratique du Congo en vue d'une signature de la paix à Washington ?   Olivier Nduhungirehe : La paix a déjà été signée le 27 juin à Washington. À Washington, les discussions de mise en œuvre se déroulent, il y a des progrès. Mais notre problème, c'est qu'il y a des violations permanentes du cessez-le-feu par l'armée congolaise.   Alors ce que tout le monde attend, c'est une rencontre à Washington entre le président Kagame et le président Tshisekedi. Quand est-ce qu'elle aura lieu ?   Elle aura lieu dans quelques jours. Mais le problème, c'est qu'il y a des bombardements quotidiens de la part des avions de chasse et des drones d'attaque de l'armée congolaise, non seulement contre des positions de l'AFC/M23, ce qui est bien sûr en violation du cessez-le-feu, mais aussi, ce qui est plus grave, contre les villages Banyamulenge, ces Tutsi congolais du Sud Kivu, dans un contexte de montée des discours de haine.   Alors, ce que disent les autorités congolaises, notamment par la voix de Patrick Muyaya, c'était sur RFI il y a quelques jours, c'est qu'il n'y aura de véritable paix que quand vous aurez renoncé à vos mesures de défense sur le territoire congolais…  Et bien Patrick Muyaya devrait lire l'Accord de paix de Washington. Il n'y aura de paix que si les FDLR, les génocidaires FDLR qui sont soutenus, financés par Kinshasa et qui sont même intégrés dans l'armée, sont neutralisés, comme l'exige le Conops, le concept des opérations, qui a été signé dans le cadre de l'accord de paix de Washington. Et c'est la neutralisation de ces génocidaires FDLR, soutenus par Kinshasa, qui ouvrira la voie à la levée des mesures rwandaises de défense.   Les autorités congolaises disent que le désarmement des FDLR a commencé…  Mais on ne le voit pas, sauf si c'est dans une réalité parallèle. Les FDLR n'ont pas été neutralisés, comme cela est exigé par l'Accord de paix de Washington. Il y a eu, il vous souviendra, ce communiqué des FARDC qui a appelé les FDLR à déposer les armes. Et puis après il y a eu un communiqué des FDLR qui a prétendu qu'elles sont prêtes à déposer les armes au camp de la Monusco, mais qu'elles en sont empêchées par le M23. Et puis récemment, vous avez vu cette interview du porte-parole des FDLR qui a dit qu'elles ne déposeront jamais les armes, qu'elles vont se battre jusqu'au bout. Et donc les FDLR sont toujours soutenues par Kinshasa. Rien ne se fera sans qu'il y ait la bonne foi et la volonté politique de Kinshasa sur cette question des FDLR puisqu'on en parle depuis longtemps, mais à l'heure où on vous parle, les FDLR sont toujours intégrées dans l'armée congolaise. Elles sont toujours soutenues par Kinshasa.   Mais franchement, la cartographie du déploiement des FDLR par les autorités congolaises, ce n'est pas la preuve que celles-ci sont de bonne foi ?  Mais l'accord de paix de Washington parle de neutralisation des FDLR. C'est ce qui doit se passer. Ce n'est pas une cartographie, ce ne sont pas des communiqués, des appels à déposer les armes. C'est la neutralisation effective des FDLR. Et jusqu'à présent, on ne voit pas de neutralisation de ces génocidaires FDLR depuis le 27 juin qu'on a signé cet accord. Ça fait plus de cinq mois.   Et si demain la neutralisation commence réellement, est-ce que vous, vous vous engagez à renoncer aux mesures de défense que vous avez prises sur le territoire congolais ?   C'est dans l'Accord de paix de Washington. L'aspect sécuritaire parle de neutralisation des FDLR et de levée de mesures rwandaises de défense. Donc, si les FDLR sont neutralisées, le Rwanda va lever ses mesures de défense.   Et ce serait l'affaire de quelques semaines, cela pourrait permettre un accord définitif d'ici Noël ?  Je ne sais pas. Il y a un chronogramme qui est dans le Conops, les 90 jours. Mais de toute façon, il faut toujours la volonté politique de neutraliser ces FDLR. Et puis on va voir bien sûr quand et comment ça se fera. Mais sans volonté politique, rien ne se fera.   Pendant ce sommet Afrique-Europe de Luanda, la ministre congolaise des Affaires étrangères a demandé à l'Union européenne d'adopter de nouvelles sanctions contre votre pays. Quelle est votre réaction ?   Oui. Ma collègue Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner ne fait que ça depuis février. Elle demande toujours des sanctions contre le Rwanda. Mais maintenant, on est fin novembre. Un accord de paix est passé par là. C'est quand même assez curieux que ma collègue congolaise demande des sanctions contre un pays avec qui on a signé un accord de paix. J'étais avec elle le 27 juin pour signer cet accord. Au lieu de mettre en œuvre cet accord, elle demande toujours des sanctions contre le Rwanda. Et puis, s'il y a des sanctions à demander, pourquoi ne demanderait-on pas des sanctions contre ceux qui affament des populations Banyamulenge et ceux qui bombardent ces populations, ceux qui collaborent avec un mouvement génocidaire et ceux qui répandent des discours de haine à travers les groupes Wazalendo qu'on a créés. Donc, à jouer à ce petit jeu de sanctions, je pense qu'on n'en sortirait pas. Il y a des accords qu'on a signés, à la RDC de les mettre en œuvre au lieu d'aller partout sans arrêt demander des sanctions.    À lire aussiRDC-Rwanda: le processus, conduit en partie par Washington, doit déboucher sur la signature de trois accords

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!

Wie kann man weiterleben nach der Erfahrung schrecklichster Gewalt? Wie kann eine juristische Aufarbeitung erfolgen, wie eine Erinnerungskultur? Fragen, die die Gesellschaft in Ruanda beschäftigen, 30 Jahre nach dem Genozid der Hutu an den Tutsi. Der Schriftsteller und Musiker Gaël Faye geht ihnen in seinem Roman "Jacaranda" nach. Niels Beintker hat ihn am Rande seiner Lesung in München getroffen. / "Karla", ein Film über ein Mädchen, das seinen Vater wegen sexuellen Missbrauchs anklagt, feierte Premiere beim Filmfest München 2025. Dort räumte er den Förderpreis Neues Deutsches Kino für die Beste Regie und für das Beste Drehbuch ab. Bettina Dunkel hat das Drama gesehen. / Wrestling auf der Wiesn? In seinem neuen Roman "Die beste Idee der Welt" erzählt der Münchner Autor Bernhard Heckler von einem privat und beruflich gescheiterten jungen Mann, der auf dem Oktoberfest eine Wrestling-Show aufziehen will. Den Roman gibt es bald als Lesung zu hören, auf Bayern 2 und online als BR-Podcast.

On Tuesday, in a groundbreaking new report, the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory officially concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. This comes ahead of the members of the commission stepping down later this year, after announcing their resignations this summer amid the US's escalating attacks on UN personnel.“The Commission concludes that the State of Israel bears responsibility for the failure to prevent genocide, the commission of genocide, and the failure to punish genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip,” the report says.In this exclusive interview, Mehdi speaks with two of the commissioners behind this report: Chair Navi Pillay of South Africa and commissioner Chris Sidoti, one of Australia's most prominent human rights lawyers.In the interview, Pillay – who previously served as president of the UN's International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda – immediately draws parallels between genocide in Gaza and the Rwandan genocide.“It's when I came to the deliberate shooting of the single standing building where the fertility clinic was and the embryos. That immediately reminded me of the Rwanda genocide where I was a judge and where they ripped the bellies of pregnant women, pulled out the fetuses because they wanted to kill off the entire Tutsi group,” Pillay recounts.Pillay and Sidoti also both point out that unlike the Rwandan genocide, Palestinians in Gaza do not have neighboring countries they can escape to.“There is nowhere that the people of Gaza can go to escape this slaughter,” Sidoti tells Mehdi. “And yet the slaughter has continued.”The commissioners also address criticism that their report does not cover Hamas's war crimes, with Pillay noting that the commission has addressed Hamas's war crimes in previous reports.“It doesn't mean to me that every time you have to strike some kind of balance as if the parties are equal,” she explains. “They are not equal. One is the occupier and the other is occupied.”You can watch the full interview above to hear Mehdi press the commissioners on why it has taken almost two years for them to declare that Israel is committing a genocide, and why Israel prevented their commission from investigating claims of rape and sexual violence from both sides.

Ruanda ist ein junges Land. Fast drei Viertel der Bevölkerung wurde nach dem Völkermord der Hutu an den Tutsi, nach 1994, geboren. Wie die Gesellschaft mit den Schatten der Gesellschaft lebt, erzählt der französisch-ruandische Autor und Musiker Gaël Faye in seinem zweiten Roman „Jacaranda“ mit viel Empathie und analytischer Tiefe.

Hi Stef, I've been wondering: If love is an "involuntary response to virtue," how can a parent love an infant? Can't animals display virtues, at least in a rudimentary fashion, as much as babies? ThanksI believe that individualism vs collectivism is the issue beneath all issues and that adopting a “content of character” mindset rather that a “judge by immutable characteristics” mindset, is the only peaceful and prosperous path forward for humanity. Most people are decent, and if we separated the world by decent people vs assholes there would be a lot less incentive to be assholes. Thoughts?Does philosophy come more naturally to honest people who are naturally attuned to the truth?Is it moral for a man to give his son a leg-up?- a good home with a loving mother- a virtuous example- a free college education- help with a home or business?Or is that unfair to another child from a poor and broken home?Can UPB define truth?i.e. it's the interpretation that could be useful to everyone.Do we have a moral duty to fight evil and pursue virtue?Are humans LLMs, with an extra mechanism on top ?Where does philosophy end and religion begin?What is more destructive: greed or jealousy

In 1994, as the genocide in Rwanda against the Tutsi minority unfolded, goalkeeper Eric Murangwa Eugene's life was in danger. Being a Tutsi, Eric had to beg for his life when five armed men showed up at his house to kill him. It was only when they recognised him as a footballer, and saw his photos as proof, that they left. Eric tells Jake Warren about spending the following months trying to evade capture and looks back at the moment that football helped save him.

Plus de 30 ans après le génocide des Tutsi, nous vous proposons de découvrir l'itinéraire d'une rescapée, Émilienne Mukansoro, l'une des initiatrices des premiers groupes de parole dédiés aux femmes victimes de viols et de mutilations pendant les trois mois des massacres, en avril, mai et juin 1994. Formée auprès du professeur Naason Minyandamutsa, psychothérapeute pionnier du Rwanda, elle poursuit son œuvre en créant les premiers groupes de parole dédiés aux bourreaux. À écouter aussiDocumenter le génocide des tutsi du Rwanda À écouter aussiRwanda: face au génocide, dans les archives d'Ibuka À écouter aussiAu tribunal, face au génocide des tutsi

The country of Rwanda is still recovering from the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. The country is going through a period of healing and recovery while rebuilding the social and political systems that collapsed during that period.

Krieg in der Demokratischen Republik Kongo – Im Osten des afrikanischen Staats rücken Rebellen mit Hilfe Ruandas immer weiter vor, Tausende Menschen sind bereits gestorben. Die internationale Gemeinschaft hält sich bisher aus dem Konflikt heraus.

C'est une caricature publiée sur le site d'information congolais Actualité CD : on y voit un journaliste brandissant un micro devant un parterre d'hommes politiques et de représentants de la société civile à Kinshasa. Le journaliste les interpelle : « leaders d'opinion ! Un petit commentaire sur la révision ou changement de la Constitution ? » Tous les officiels veulent répondre en s'arrachant le micro : « moi, moi, moi », crient-ils. Et puis question suivante : « un commentaire sur la guerre qui a atteint Goma ? ». Et là, plus personne… Les officiels sont partis en courant…Et en effet, c'est la retenue qui domine à Kinshasa face à l'avancée des rebelles du M23 dans le Kivu. Les termes sont choisis. Les médias congolais, à l'instar du site 7 sur 7, parlent d' « incursion rwandaise à Goma », ou encore de « guerre d'agression ».Il faut dire que la situation est délicate. Le risque d'une extension du conflit est bien présent. C'est ce que souligne notamment Le Pays à Ouagadougou : « après le secrétaire général des Nations unies ce week-end qui disait craindre un embrasement régional du conflit en cours dans le Kivu avec l'ouverture possible de nouveaux théâtres de confrontation, c'est au tour du président du Burundi d'affirmer que la propension à l'extension transfrontalière de cette guerre est particulièrement grande, du fait de la situation volatile et explosive enregistrée, la semaine dernière, dans les deux extrémités du Kivu ».En effet, résume Jeune Afrique, « le président burundais, Évariste Ndayishimiye, a dit redouter que le conflit en RDC déclenche une guerre régionale. “Si ça continue comme ça, a-t-il déclaré, la guerre risque de se généraliser dans la région“. »Que veulent Makenga et Nanga ?La guerre dans quel but ? Quels sont les objectifs du M23 ?Le Monde Afrique brosse un long portrait du chef militaire de la rébellion, Sultani Makenga. C'est un « Tutsi dont une partie de la famille est originaire de la province du Masisi. (…) Ce “général“ discret a fait ses armes à l'ombre du président rwandais Paul Kagame et pris part à toutes les insurrections qui secouent l'est de la RDC depuis trente ans ».Dans une de ses rares interviews il y a deux ans, il déclarait, relève Le Monde Afrique : « nous avons choisi ce chemin parce que tout le reste a échoué. Nous avons au sommet de l'État des irresponsables, des bandits, des gens qui croient que le pays leur appartient ».Et Le Monde Afrique de s'interroger : « est-il un va-t-en-guerre piloté par Kigali et Kampala ? Un stratège militaire qui a su jouer un rôle dans toutes les rébellions congolaises ? Un opposant politique animé par la protection de sa communauté ? Peut-être un peu de tout cela à la fois ».Le quotidien Aujourd'hui au Burkina s'intéresse, lui, à Corneille Nanga, le président de l'AFC, l'Alliance fleuve Congo, alliée au M23. « Personne n'aurait parié en 2015, lorsque Corneille Nanga, président de la CENI congolaise proclamait les résultats des élections générales qu'une dizaine d'années plus tard, il se transformerait en rebelle, pour fonder l'Alliance fleuve Congo ? On ne sait pas ce qui s'est passé entre lui et Félix Tshisekedi mais à l'évidence, une brouille devenue rancune tenace est née entre les deux hommes. En tout cas, allié au M23, Corneille Nanga ne fait pas mystère de vouloir faire tomber Félix Tshisekedi ».Kagame dans le sillage de Poutine ?Pour le chercheur Thierry Vircoulon, interrogé par Afrikarabia, site spécialisé sur la RDC, « Paul Kagamé semble dans un moment poutinien… (…) Le but immédiat du M23 (piloté par Kigali) est de forcer le gouvernement congolais à négocier. Mais une négociation pour quoi ? Certainement pas pour que le M23 puisse réintégrer l'armée congolaise comme cela avait été le cas après la crise de 2008, affirme Thierry Vircoulon. Une négociation entre le gouvernement congolais et le M23 viserait à conférer à ce mouvement armé le contrôle territorial d'une partie du Nord-Kivu a minima. Cela permettrait, précise le chercheur, l'officialisation des gains territoriaux du M23 depuis 2022 et équivaudrait à une annexion officieuse par le Rwanda. Le Nord-Kivu (ou en tout cas une partie de cette province) deviendrait ainsi un Donbass rwandais ».Et, souligne encore Thierry Vircoulon, « le renversement de Félix Tshisekedi n'est pas exclu dans cette stratégie si celui-ci continue à s'opposer à cette volonté d'annexion. Pour ce faire, Kigali semble avoir ressorti des poubelles de l'histoire la vieille stratégie du paravent politique congolais : l'Alliance du Fleuve Congo est le nouvel avatar du Rassemblement Congolais pour la Démocratie (le RCD qui avait pris les armes contre le président congolais Laurent-Désiré Kabila à la fin des années 90).

//The Wire//2300Z January 29, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: CONFLICT CONTINUES TO ESCALATE IN THE DRC. PRESIDENT TRUMP ANNOUNCES PLAN TO SEND ILLEGALS TO GITMO. F-35 CRASHES IN ALASKA, PILOT UNHARMED.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC): Rioting continues throughout Kinshasa as the rebel advance in the east becomes more solidified. Overnight, M23 rebels consolidated control of Goma on the eastern border of the DRC, with some reports indicating further advances being planned. South of Kivu Lake, another axis of advance has possibly opened up, as locals report M23 forces in the vicinity of Bukavu. In the west, factional violence has broken out in force.-HomeFront-Alaska: One F-35 aircraft assigned to the 354th Fighter Wing crashed at Eielson Air Force Base near Fairbanks yesterday afternoon. Video footage of the incident indicates that the pilot was able to eject before impact. No official statement has been released indicating the cause for the aviation mishap.Washington D.C. - President Trump announced plans to house captured illegal immigrants at the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, while deportation operations continue. AC: While not exactly a new plan (this idea was floated during Trump's campaign) this facility will reportedly house the most violent offenders, which are unable to be housed in the standard minimum-security detention facilities that most other illegal immigrants are housed in. This is probably an attempt to separate out the baddest-of-the-bad from the general population.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In the DRC, various groups who oppose Rwanda (and the M23 rebels) have taken to the streets to attack any ally of their arch enemy. Since the capital of Kinshasa is located 1,000 miles from M23's advance (and thus nowhere near the warzone), those who oppose M23 have taken out their anger locally, in the form of attacking anyone who is aligned with Rwanda or the Tutsi ethnic group, such as international diplomatic missions in the DRC. Various government offices were also ransacked overnight as well. Other than the general call to evacuate, most diplomatic missions in Kinshasa have not really addressed the growing violence, or provided much information on the status of foreign nationals (or international humanitarian efforts) in the DRC.Of note, this afternoon the Rwandan Defense Forces social media account posted a statement regarding the capture of 280 Romanians who were allegedly acting as mercenaries for the DRC's armed forces. This somewhat innocent post is largely a de facto admission that the M23 "rebels" are really just mercenaries acting on behalf off Rwanda to invade the DRC. This has been known for some time, however the increasingly casual descriptions of this relationship must be noted as this has the potential to drag other nations into this fight at some point, if the "soft" invasion becomes more methodical or deliberate.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Few Westerners are paying attention to the fighting in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Intense fighting has raged for days between the Hutu tribe and Tutsi tribe. Today, Rioters attacked several foreign embassies – including those of the US, France, and Belgium, demanding that Western governments aid the DR Congo to fight against the advance of M23 rebels. Over 400,000 people have fled their homes to escape the fighting in the streets.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

This week, Erin and Jake talked about the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has escalated with the rebel group M23 capturing the city of Goma. The roots of the conflict are complex, stemming from arbitrarily drawn African national borders by European colonizers. This has led to disputes between tribal and religious groups within the same country and is also a factor in the Rwandan genocide. The M23 group, formed to protect Tutsi people, has reignited violence in the resource-rich eastern DRC, leading to mass casualties and a humanitarian crisis, and prompting international calls for action. There are also reports that the fighting has caused water and electricity supplies to the city to be cut off.Then they moved to the US, where newly inaugurated President Trump signed a series of executive orders on immigration, including one that seeks to revoke birthright citizenship for children of undocumented parents and halting all refugee admissions. Trump has framed immigration as a national security issue, granting the president more unilateral power. The immigration policies led to a recent diplomatic breakdown between the US and Colombia over deported Colombians sent on military planes. The issue was resolved through diplomatic channels. Then, some financial news. A Chinese startup, DeepSeek, launched an AI chatbot at a fraction of the cost of its US competitors, sparking concern in the US tech and stock markets. DeepSeek says that it only needed $6 million to train their chatbot, compared to the $100 million needed to train ChatGPT. The AI model is comparable to the industry leaders in the US, on par with Google and OpenAI, and it has raised questions about the US's ability to keep up in this market, with Nvidia, a major processor manufacturer, seeing the largest single-day drop in market history. But while China has global ambitions for AI, their censorship standards may end up being the challenge that slows them down.Other global headlines from the week include Denmark bumping up military spending for the defense of Greenland after Trump's comments about taking it by force, the Serbian PM resigning after months of protests, and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko claiming victory in an election which was called a sham by Western governments. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he will cover the US contribution to the UN's climate body after Trump withdrew the US from the Paris agreement in his first day in office. Displaced Palestinians have begun returning to Northern Gaza, many of them to destroyed homes, and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz was marked on Holocaust Remembrance Day. Finally, Thailand has become the first country in SE Asia to recognize marriage equality for same-sex couples, with hundreds of couples getting married to celebrate.Stay With Me Here is an independent project, and all views and opinions expressed in this show, and in this writeup, represent our personal views and not that of any organization we're affiliated with. Erin Flanagan is a former U.S. Coast Guard intelligence officer and Agence France-Presse digital investigations journalist.Jacob Shropshire is an editorial intern at Worldcrunch and the managing editor of Peacock Media at the American University of Paris.

Né en Allemagne, où ses parents faisaient leurs études, Corneille passe son enfance au Rwanda. Sa mère est Hutu et son père Tutsi. Il a 17 ans lors du génocide rwandais. Un groupe armé entre dans la maison familiale le 15 avril 1994 et tue ses parents ainsi que ses deux frères et sa petite sœur. Corneille assiste au massacre.

The Rwandan Genocide, occurring between April-July 1994, was a devastating episode of mass violence in which nearly 1 million people were killed over a period of 100 days. Fueled by longstanding ethnic tensions, political power struggles, and a deep seated history of discrimination, the genocide saw members of the Tutsi ethnic group slaughtered indiscriminately by extremists of the Hutu ethnic group. Growing up amid this chaos, Christian Ntizimira, MD witnessed some of humanity's most horrific atrocities. Instead of turning away, however, he chose to enter medicine, a profession that would allow him to address the immense suffering he saw. Today, Dr. Ntizimira is a palliative care physician and the founder and executive director of the African Center for Research on End of Life Care. In this episode, Dr. Ntizimira joins us to share his personal experiences with the Rwandan Genocide, his journey to palliative medicine after initially exploring a career in surgery, what palliative care means to him, what it looks like to honor the dignity of a patient, how he advocates better access to palliative care and chronic illness care, and his unique approach to medicine rooted in “ubuntu,” a philosophy emphasizing the universal bond that connects all humanity that is best summarized by the phrase “I am because you are.”In this episode, you'll hear about: 2:45 - How Dr. Ntizimira's experience as a young person during the Rwandan Genocide inspired him to become a physician, and how he eventually found himself drawn to palliative care  14:25 - Dr. Ntizimira's distinction between “treating the disease” and “treating the person”20:22 - How Dr. Ntizimira teaches doctors to fully conceptualize patients as people instead of focusing only on their medical ailments 25:50 - The heart of palliative care that transcends cultures30:54 - The importance of presence in palliative care38:27 - What “reconciliation” means in Dr. Ntizimira's approach to palliative care 47:17 - “Ubuntu,” an African philosophy emphasizing a shared connection among humans, and how it can revolutionize how we care for patients    Dr. Christian Ntizimira is the author of The Safari Concept: An African Framework for End of Life Care.Dr. Christian Ntizimira can be found on Twitter/X at @ntizimira.Visit our website www.TheDoctorsArt.com where you can find transcripts of all episodes.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

In 1994, Drocella Mugorewera was a young mother when Ethnic tensions between Hutu's and Tutsi's rooted in colonial divisions boiled over and led to a horrific genocide in Rwanda that cost up to one million lives. Drocella fled to the comparative safety of the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo before returning home determined to mold a better society in Rwanda.  She quickly became a government minister focused on forging an inclusive and peaceful society from the ashes of horrific events. But, her hopes for the future were largely unfulfilled as the increasingly authoritarian regime of Paul Kagame meant political dissent could no longer be tolerated. Fearing for her life, Drocella fled her homeland once again before finding refuge in the USA. There, she established herself as a campaigner for the rights of women, refugees, and an advocate for diversity. Ironically, as a young woman she earned a scholarship to study in the Ukraine -- another country now devastated by war.  Having seen the horrors of divisive politics. She is an inspirational figure full of hope and the desire for peace. In this episode I discuss her work as a diversity consultant. Her feelings about Rwanda, Ukraine, and war and conflict in general. A truly faith filled woman who somehow remains positive about he future despite seeing the worst of humanity.

Warning: This episode contains some upsetting descriptions of human suffering.The Rwandan Genocide is a dark and pivotal moment in modern history; the catastrophic consequence of ethnic division and global inaction. Over 100 days in 1994, it's estimated around 800,000 predominantly Tutsi people were killed by the Hutu government and civilian militiamen. The groundwork for the atrocities had been laid decades earlier by the colonial Belgian powers that controlled Rwanda and sowed the seeds of division into the fabric of the country.Dan is joined by Dr Scott Straus, a professor of Political Science at UC Berkeley who unpacks the events and years that led up to the genocide as well as the inaction from the international community during it. Dan also hears from survivor Beatha Uwazaninka who was just a teenager when her entire family were killed and describes how neighbours turned on neighbours as she struggled to evade capture herself. Together they explain how and why the genocide happened and what lessons we should learn from it.Produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Dougal Patmore.Enjoy unlimited access to award-winning original documentaries that are released weekly and AD-FREE podcasts.

How large is your capacity for forgiveness? Author and motivational speaker Immaculée Ilibagiza grew up in a small village in Rwanda, Africa. With her loving parents and three brothers, Immaculée excelled in school and eventually went on to study electrical and mechanical engineering at the National University of Rwanda. However, her life took a dramatic turn in 1994.  On April 6 of that year, the assassination of the Rwandan President ignited months of massacres targeting Tutsi tribe members across the country. To protect his daughter from rape and murder, Immaculée's father instructed her to seek refuge at a local pastor's house. There, she hid with seven other women in a cramped 3 x 4-foot bathroom for the next 91 days. Amidst the genocide raging outside, Immaculée battled anger and resentment, which threatened to consume her mind, body, and spirit. It was in this desperate state that she turned to prayer, clutching a set of rosary beads her father had given her. Through prayer and faith, she found the strength to resist hate, even using this dark time to teach herself English using only a Bible and a dictionary.  Emerging from her hiding place after 91 days, Immaculée faced a harrowing reality—her entire family, except for one brother studying abroad, had been brutally murdered. She also discovered the massacre of nearly one million extended family members, friends, neighbors, and fellow Rwandans.
