“Les choses nécessaires coûtent peu, les choses superflues coûtent cher.” “L'espérance est la dernière chose qui meurt dans l'homme.”



Sickening. Gazan man proudly holding up a dead Dolphin he caught and killed. Dolphins are known to be one of the most intelligent creatures on the planet.

Ukrainian drone dives to strike a Russian soldier, but on approach it finds he has already taken his own life. War is neither as entertaining as in video games nor as romantic as in movies.











🚨 Fundamental human rights are once again being violated in Rwanda. On May 1, 2026, Augustin Nsanzimana and Emmanuel Niyonshuti, contributors to the YouTube channel Imbarutso ya Demokarasi, were abducted. Following public pressure to disclose their whereabouts, the Rwanda Investigation Bureau @RIB_Rw announced that they had been arrested on allegations of spreading “false information” online. This is yet another case where dissenting voices and independent commentary are labeled as “rumors” in order to silence legitimate public debate and undermine democratic principles. 🔸Exercising fundamental rights; such as sharing information, expressing opinions, and critiquing governance; is increasingly criminalized in Rwanda. This detention once again reflects a troubling and persistent pattern of shrinking civic space. In my recent conversation with Jeffrey Smith, we examined how, under the authoritarian regime of Paul Kagame, Rwanda operates through narrative dominance, surveillance, and preemptive repression; leaving little to no room for independent voices. 🎥 youtu.be/LpOHyY3V99o?is… 🔸For years, human rights activists and organizations have called on Rwandan authorities @Rwanda_Justice, @RwandaGov to: • Respect fundamental rights • End the criminalization of online expression • Repeal or reform vague laws used to suppress dissent The continued use of such laws raises serious concerns about the rule of law and the protection of civil liberties in Rwanda. 🔸Authorities must: • Guarantee their safety • Ensure immediate access to legal counsel and family • Uphold due process and fair trial rights Silencing voices will not erase the truth; it will only increase public awareness and deepen concerns about authoritarian governance under @PaulKagame. @RIB_Rw @RwandaGov @Rwandapolice @hrw @amnesty @bbcgahuza @IGIHE @UrugwiroVillage @Dr_JNsengiyumva @eugirashebuja1 @HRF @BBCAfrica @LarryMadowo @amnesty

















Histoire : Museveni, Paul Kagame, Fred Rwigema et les 27 fusils qui ont changé l'histoire de l'Ouganda ! Le 6 février 1981, @KagutaMuseveni avait contesté les résultats des élections ayant ramené Milton Obote au pouvoir un an plus tôt. Avec seulement 27 armes et et moins de 40 hommes, il lance une rébellion à Luwero. Parmis les 27 personnes qui avaient les 27 armes, il y avait Paul Kagame et Fred Rwigema : 2 jeunes Rwandais exilés. Le 26 janvier 1986, 5 ans après, il renversera Tito Okelle, qui venait tout juste de prendre le pouvoir par un coup d'état. Lors de son discours, Museveni avait vivement critiqué les dirigeants africains qui restaient longtemps au pouvoir. Il avait dit une phrase célèbre : : "Ce n'est pas un simple changement de garde, c'est un changement fondamental". 40 ans plus tard, il est toujours au pouvoir ! Depuis son indépendance, l'Ouganda n'a jamais connu de passassion pacifique de pouvoir. Pourtant le pays a connu 9 présidents ! Depuis la baie de Marina à Dubaï aux Émiratsarabes unis, Rodriguez Katsuva.

There really needs to be answers for this…
