My latest words and photographs for Aljazeera, 'Refuge of the last Dreamers.' A sleepy, dreamy, lazy weekend read that will transport you to Luang Prabang, Laos. Read, view and escape - if but a few minutes - a world seemingly racing to self-destruction. aje.io/pl5eaj

Bogdan Syrotiuk, has been framed, arrested and incarcerated. His arrest is unlawful, oppressive and draconian. Fighting for Bogdan’s release is also fighting for an end to the repression of the working class and the sadistic proxy wars in Ukraine and Gaza. wsws.org/en/articles/20…

@DamasDuke Quite possibly, Damas. To be human is to be wrong. The scenarios you cite were mentioned in the spirit of being wrong. I suggested that the Rwandan gov't. was 'questionable' because a multiplicity of human rights ORGS known for rigorous research and accuracy have stated it was.

@JackPicone How do you explain that you expected to be arrested on your first encounter with Inkotanyi , and you didn't expect to have an Interview with President Kagame yet in both cases you were proven wrong ? Maybe you are also wrong about calling the Rwandan Government questionable.

On this day, 30 years ago, on April 7, 1994, one of the most harrowing events in modern history began: the Rwandan genocide. Below is a piece [+photographs] that I wrote for Al Jazeera. aljazeera.com/features/longf…

@arthurkaruletwa Thanks, Arthur. Some are, some not so much. Seeing a large percentage of women when I visited parliament and researched the story was affirming.

@JackPicone “It is ordinary, everyday Rwandans - not their questionable government - on a mission to make the impossible possible as they try and turn the darkness of what the genocide left them into light.”- Jack, you do realize that the people in government are everyday Rwandans right? 😅

@YolandeMakolo Thank you, Yolande. Yes, Africans "can do government," especially Rwandan women. The core message of this specific story was rooted in the ability of ordinary Rwandans to forgive one another.

Interesting account Jack, thanks for the important work of recording this part of our history. I find it bizarre to conclude that Rwanda and Rwandans have achieved all that we have, without a government. It can't be that difficult to acknowledge that Africans can do government right. #Kwibuka30

@Richard00691257 Not at all I was being stupid. I love the Orwell quote—extraordinary. I watched Dr Moor. If everyone had her intelligence, thoughtfulness, compassion, and humanity, there would be no war.

@JackPicone Sorry Jack, I fell into that one. Not hard these days in a world where, as George Orwell once said, "Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."

Teachers and students in New York City who have protested the genocide in Gaza have been slandered as antisemites, and school authorities have done nothing to defend educators’ or students’ rights to free speech wsws.org/en/articles/20…

@Richard00691257 Of course not, Richard. I knew that, I think. I don't see a scintilla of anti-anything from the pro-Zionist corner. I see accuracy, objectivity, proportionality, and, most of all, I see mountains of humanism. Then again, I could be wrong; I often am.

@JackPicone Thanks Jack. Pro-Zionist political opinions & justifications of ethnic-cleansing military operations against Palestinians in Gaza, are, however, non-racist! Check out this statement from a medical professional in Australia who has been targeted. wsws.org/en/articles/20…

Piercing, wounding and irrefutable statistics. Yet an overwhelming majority of world leaders [contradiction of nomenclature] continue to look away. Predictably, their inaction is rooted in money, politics, and power. A meld of hypocrisy and conscience retardation. Insanity.

11K Palestinians and 4K Kids Dead. Tens of thousands of Palestinians seriously injured. 1.5 million Palestinians [approx.] displaced. Are these numbers sufficient in terms of revenge for the Israelis fourteen hundred killed [exact number TBC] by Hamas? Clearly, they are not.
