The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) recently welcomed the reintroduction of 16 southern white rhinoceroses to Garamba National Park, according to officials. The last wild northern white rhino was poached there in 2006.

The white rhinos were transported to Garamba, which lies in the northeastern part of the country, from a South African private reserve. In the late 19th century, the southern white rhino subspecies was believed to be extinct due to poaching until a population of fewer than 100 was discovered in South Africa in 1895, according to WWF.

Women with convictions for some same-sex activity in the United Kingdom can apply for a pardon for the first time, the Home Office has announced.

The Home Office is widening its scheme to wipe historic convictions for homosexual activity more than a decade after the government allowed applications for same-sex activity offences to be disregarded.

It means anyone can apply for a pardon if they have been convicted or cautioned for any same-sex activity offences that have been repealed or abolished.

A new study on the human capacity for cooperation suggests that, deep down, people of diverse cultures are more similar than you might expect.

7. The temple feeding 100,000 people a day

Amritsar, the north Indian city known for its Golden Temple and delicious cuisine, is also renowned for its spirit of generosity and selfless service. The city, founded by a Sikh guru, embodies the Sikh tradition of seva, performing voluntary acts of service without expecting anything in return.

This spirit of giving extends beyond the temple walls, as the Sikh community has shown immense compassion during crises, such as delivering oxygen cylinders during the COVID-19 pandemic. At the heart of Amritsar's generosity is the Golden Temple's langar, the world's largest free communal kitchen, serving 100,000 people daily without discrimination. Despite a history marred by tragic events, Amritsar continues to radiate kindness, love, and generosity.

"Ghana's parliament has passed a tough new bill that imposes a prison sentence of up to three years for anyone convicted of identifying as LGBTQ+.

It also imposes a maximum five-year jail term for forming or funding LGBTQ+ groups.

Lawmakers heckled down attempts to replace prison sentences with community service and counselling.

It is the latest sign of growing opposition to LGBTQ+ rights in the conservative West African nation.

The bill, which had the backing of Ghana's two major political parties, will come into effect only if President Nana Akufo-Addo signs it into law. He previously said that he would do so if the majority of Ghanaians want him to.

Gay sex is already against the law in Ghana - it carries a three-year prison sentence."

did neville goddard really said that you can have a pet dragon in your bedroom, become a mermaid or vampire, change your race or have angel wings?! i only hear him talking about normal things like "you want a better job? manifest it! you want to be treated better? manifest it! you want to money? manifest it!" but on tumblr it's changing your race for sexual fetish. HE NEVER SAID THIS

Neville Goddard probably didn't talk about manifesting a pet dragon or becoming a Mermaid because that's not what he wanted to manifest and that's not what he was focusing on

And I'm also confused at you saying changing your race for a "SEXUAL FETISH" ??? Do you think people who shift as a version of themself where they are black only do this to touch themselves to the sight of the skin colour or something??

I think it's really important to understand the words we are using before using them. Because I can assure you shifters who want to experience a different race/ethnicity/culture aren't fetishising anything.

The whole point of shifting/manifesting is experiencing a reality with your desire. Its about EXPERIENCE.

How do they look? how do they feel? Do they have different ethnic features? Is their hair different? What is their new culture like. Did their language change? What is it like speaking a different language and understanding it. Where do they live? In China? Ghana? Mexico? What about the celebrations. Are birthdays celebrated differently in their new culture? What about the meme culture! What about the latest trends! What about the food! The music! The types of dance! The tradition hairstyles, the clothes, jewellery!

This. Is what shifters who "race/ethnicity change" shift for. I am so sick to the back teeth of anons and antis sending shifters and manifesters like me these asks, genuinely thinking that all we want to do is take things for sexual gain. Do you really think all we want is to take for sexual gain?

Do you see us as so one-dimensional that whenever you see someone saying they want to experience life as a korean, they're just doing it because of what we see on TV? Because of stereotypes?

Well I'm gonna tell you this.

No. Shifters and manifesters want nothing more than to experience life as something else. Wether its just a different skin colour or a different life entirely. And that is OKAY.

I find it so disappointing and gross actually how anytime a shifter could just meantion how they would like to be white or tan and people like you will immediately think sex sex sex, fetish sex fetish, sex fetish fetish sex. Like what the actual fuck..

Burkina Faso's military junta has announced a ban on homosexual acts, making it the latest African state to crack down on same-sex relations despite strong opposition from Western powers.

Homosexuality was frowned upon in the socially conservative West African state, but it was never outlawed.

Justice Minister Edasso Rodrigue Bayala said the junta's cabinet had now approved legislation to make it a punishable offence, but he did not give further details.

The military seized power in Burkina Faso in 2022, and has pivoted towards Russia after drastically reducing ties with former colonial power, France.

Homosexual acts were decriminalised in Russia in 1993, but President Vladimir Putin's government has been cracking down on the LGBTQ community, including banning what it calls "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations".

The doctor forced to fight jihadists in Burkina Faso

Nigeria-EU deal sparks false claims over LGBT rights

The Nigerian queer parties that offer liberation

Burkina Faso's decision to outlaw homosexual relations is part of an overhaul of its marriage laws.

The new legislation, which still needs to be passed by the military-controlled parliament and signed off by junta leader Ibrahim Traoré, only recognises religious and customary marriages.

"Henceforth homosexuality and associated practices will be punished by the law," the justice minister was quoted by AFP news agency as saying.

Capt Traoré took power in September 2022 after overthrowing another military ruler, Lt Col Paul-Henri Damiba, accusing him of failing to quell an Islamist insurgency that has gripped Burkina Faso since 2015.

Burkina Faso was among 22 out of 54 African states where same-sex relations were not criminalised.

Unlike in many former British colonies, it did not inherit anti-homosexuality laws after independence from France in 1960.

Muslims make up around 64% of Burkina Faso's population and Christians 26%. The remaining 10% of people follow traditional religions or have no faith.

Many African states have been taking a tougher stand against the LGBTQ community in recent years.

Uganda is among those that have adopted legislation recently to further crack down on the community, despite strong condemnation from local rights groups and Western powers.

In May, its Constitutional Court upheld a tough new anti-gay law that allows for the death penalty to be imposed for “aggravated homosexuality”, which includes having gay sex with someone below the age of 18 or where someone is infected with a life-long illness such as HIV.

Activists said they would appeal against the ruling.

The World Bank has halted new loans to President Yoweri Museveni's government while the US has stopped giving Ugandan goods preferential access to its markets, following the adoption of the legislation last year.

Mr Museveni defended the legislation as preserving traditional family values, and said Uganda would not allow the West to dictate to it.

The daughter of Cameroon's president drew mixed reaction after she came out as a lesbian last week.

Brenda Biya, who lives abroad, said she hoped that her coming out would help change the law banning same-sex relations in the country.

Cameroon has been ruled with an iron-hand by her 91-year-old father, Paul Biya, since 1982.

In Ghana, parliament passed a tough new bill in February that imposes a prison sentence of up to three years for anyone convicted of identifying as LGBTQ+.

However, President Nana Akufo-Addo has not signed it into law, saying he will wait for the courts to rule on its constitutionality.

The finance ministry has warned him that if the bill became law, Ghana could lose $3.8bn (£3bn) in World Bank funding over the next five to six years.

Ghana is suffering a major economic crisis and received a bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) last year.

Ghislain Brown-Kossi, born 1983 in France, lives in Canada.

Born and raised in Lyon, France, Brown-Kossi experienced great diversity throughout his childhood and schooling. His family’s heritage from the Ivory Coast and Ghana further provides the artist a background full of dialects and mixed language history. Presenting his first photographic exhibition in an apartment in Paris, he has since had many exhibitions in France, England and Canada.

Currently residing in Vancouver, BC, Brown-Kossi has been accepted into the 2023 artist residency program at La Napoule Art Foundation, France.

In Brown-Kossi’s latest series, titled Artifact, the artist pushes the boundary of his earlier exploration of a juxtaposing concept: the archaeological pop artist. After a recent trip to numerous countries of his roots, including France and the Ivory Coast, Brown-Kossi explored museums and archeological sites of Afro-descendant frescoes, carvings, and other historical and contemporary art pieces. Using this inspiration, Brown-Kossi is hoping to restore society to our ancestral beginnings. One important reference is the contribution of ancient Egypt to the evolution of the written word as we know it.

The textured surface in Artifact is made of built-up plaster and sand, which point towards the past. The contrasting vivid pop colors act as signal to the present and future. In this way, the artist is simultaneously portraying multiple timelines and exploring their connectedness. The recollection of what has been lost and what is yet to be discovered in the future is another underlying theme in this new work. Additionally, the artist is interested in archival methods of museums and private collections and the repatriation of historical artifacts to their rightful owners, often Africa. The naming of each piece, 22:22 for example, references the idea of a future archival system yet to be in place for his works. The symbols on each artwork are a continuation of previous series, namely Symbols and Believe, and they invite the viewer to imagine a new language and question its origin.

Ghana passes bill making identifying as LGBTQ+ illegal

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/ghana-passes-bill-making-identifying-as-lgbtq-illegal/

Ghana passes bill making identifying as LGBTQ+ illegal

Ghana’s parliament has passed a controversial new bill that will severely restrict LGBTQIA+ rights in the West African country.

The legislation will see a mandatory three-year prison sentence for a person who identifies as LGBTQIA+.

People who allow same-sex “activity” on properties they “own, occupy or manage”  face six years in prison.

Anyone funding an LGBTIQ organisation also faces five years in prison. LGBTIQ “advocacy” involving children will result in a 10-year prison sentence.

MPs said the bill was drafted in response to the opening of Ghana’s first LGBTQ+ community centre in the capital, Accra, in 2021.

Anti-LGBTQ laws will “affect everyone”

Last month Amnesty International warned that the bill “poses significant threats to the fundamental rights and freedoms” of LGBTQ+ people.

The United Nations human rights chief Volker Türk called parliament’s passing of the bill “profoundly disturbing” and urged the government not to sign it into law.

“The bill broadens the scope of criminal sanctions against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transexual and queer people – simply for being who they are – and threatens criminal penalties against perceived allies of LGBTQ+ people,” he said.

UNAIDS Executive Director Winnie Byanyima warned that if the bill did become a law it would “affect everyone” and hamper the country’s fight against HIV andAIDS.

About 30 African countries currently ban homosexuality, according to the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA).

Uganda, Mauritania and several northern Nigerian states punish same-sex relations extremely harshly, with those accused possibly facing the death penalty.

Gay sex has been decriminalised in Cape Verde, Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Lesotho, Mozambique and Seychelles.

South Africa is the only nation on the continent to allow gay marriage, which was legalised in 2006.

Forgiveness and Love

Forgiveness and Love is a poem and post at Koranteng's Toli.

At the store nowadays we use a smartphone. I fumble so much with it that it sometimes dampens my astonishment there is such a device and I'm using it.

Korenteng Ofosu-Amaah among his many fine qualities and accomplishments is a technologist and a blogger. It's true that some of what he writes about on the blog is technology, but the name of the blog is Koranteng's Toli and he helpfully provides a definition:

toli: n. 1. A juicy piece of news. 2. The latest word or gossip. 3. The talk of the town, typically a salacious or risque tale of intrigue, corruption or foolishness. (Ga language, Ghana, West Africa)

So it's stories, poetry, art, and music, and more. Something that's long impressed me is how the posts link to other posts on the blog, not just links pointing elsewhere. It's a bit like the store phone and how I can link to pricing, inventory and location information. Of course given the the blog is toli, it's a lot more fun than work.

Forgiveness and Love pointed to a post from the summer of 2020, Bloodbath, South Carolina. In the notes to the soundtrack for that post is this:

Forgiveness and Love by Meshell Ndegeocello It's fascinating that this initial ferocious antiwar jam was transformed into Fellowship for the release of the Comfort Woman album. I remember being astounded that she would hold it back and only hint at it in snippets during the live performances of the tour. I seem to have uploaded the only version on the web, hopefully the copyright police will allow you a listen. After the excoriating the brothers who "wear the uniforms of brutality", comes the refrain:God bless America Who God you talk about? Forgiveness and Love

I am a fan of Koranteng's wrtiting. The structure of the blog is really remarkable too, so the combination of the good writing and innovative structure make a new kind of writing; new even though the blog is nearly twenty.

20 June 2023: King Abdullah II and King Felipe VI of Spain co-chaired a new round of Aqaba Process meetings in Córdoba, organised in partnership with Spain.

As the second High-Level Aqaba Process meeting to convene with a focus on West Africa and the Sahel, this round covered the latest developments in that region, and included an assessment of the threats of terrorism and extremism.

Discussions covered current efforts to counter terrorism and means of enhancing coordination and networking among various initiatives in West Africa to fight terrorist groups on the ground, in addition to online by countering hate speech on social media.

Speakers also reiterated the need to cooperate, exchange expertise, and expand the circle of partnerships to include more countries and relevant international organisations within the Aqaba Process. (Source: Petra)

This round of meetings saw the participation of heads of state, officials, and representatives of security and military institutions from Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania, Morocco, Rwanda, Niger, Gabon, Côte d'Ivoire, Togo, Nigeria, Benin, Australia, Brazil, Belgium, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Greece, Italy, Japan, Portugal, the United States, Switzerland, Norway, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, as well as representatives of the African Union, the European Union, NATO, the United Nations, and the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism.

On the sidelines of the meetings, King Abdullah met separately with Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Cheikh El Ghazouani, Ghana President Nana Akufo-Addo, Guinea-Bissau President Umaro Sissoco Embaló, and Commander of US African Command Gen. Michael E. Langley.

A number of Aqaba Process meetings have been held outside Jordan over the past years—in Indonesia, Albania, the Netherlands, Nigeria, the United States, the United Nations, and Singapore, in partnership with Jordan.

Previous region-focused Aqaba Process rounds have included meetings on East Africa, South East Asia, Latin America, and the Balkans.

The Aqaba Process initiative was launched by His Majesty King Abdullah II in 2015 to enhance coordination and exchange of expertise and information among regional and international stakeholders to counter terrorism and extremism.

New Title Tuesday: Mystery

Last Seen in Lapaz by Kwei Quartey

When a whirlwind romance leads to the disappearance of a young Nigerian woman and a dead body, PI Emma Djan resorts to dangerous undercover work to track her down in Accra.

Just as things at work are slowing down for PI Emma Djan, an old friend of her boss’s asks for help tracking down his missing daughter. According to her father, Ngozi was just months shy of graduating high school when she became secretive and withdrawn. Suddenly, all she wanted to do was be with her handsome new beau, Femi, instead of attending law school in the fall. So when she disappears from her parents’ house in Nigeria the middle of a summer night, they immediately suspect Femi was behind it and have reason to believe the pair has fled to Accra.

During Emma’s first week on the case, Femi is found murdered at his opulent residence in Accra, and Ngozi still has not been found. Fearing the worst, Emma digs further and discovers Femi was part of a network of sex traffickers in several West African countries. Migrants from Ghana and Nigeria are duped into thinking they are on their way to success and riches in Italy. But once there—if they even survive the grueling trip across the desert—they are manipulated into sex work with little chance of escape.

As successful as Femi was, he took advantage of nearly everyone he met, leaving a trail of enemies in his wake, all of whom had motives to kill him. The question is, which one of them did it? Not only does Emma have to hunt the killer down; she’s in a race against time to find Ngozi before she ends up in a pool of blood like Femi.

This is the third volume in the “Emma Djan Investigation” series.

Not that Emma minds; she's too busy making her academic parents turn in their graves with her new job writing painfully historically inaccurate scenarios for Foremost Studios, in between wrangling their leading lady out of the arms of her army of amorous suitors.

So when one of Kitty's old flames, renowned film director Ernst Zapolya, calls Emma and tells her it's imperative he meet with Kitty that morning, she's not surprised. Until, that is, he adds that lives depend on it. Ernest sounds frightened. But what can have scared him so badly - and what on earth does cheerful, flighty Kitty have to do with it?

Only Ernest can provide the answers, and Kitty and Emma travel to the set of his extravagant new movie to find them. But the shocking discovery they make there only raises further questions . . . including: will they stay alive long enough to solve the murderous puzzle?

Paris Requiem by Chris Lloyd

Paris, 1940. As the city adjusts to life under Nazi occupation, Detective Eddie Giral struggles to reconcile his job as a policeman with his new role enforcing a regime he cannot believe in, but must work under.

He's sacrificed so much in order to survive in this new world, but the past is not so easily forgotten. When an old friend—and an old flame—reappear, begging for his help, Eddie must decide how far he will go to help those he loves.

The notion of justice itself quickly becomes as dangerous, blurred, and confused as the war itself. And Eddie’s morale compass, ever on unreliable foundations, will be questioned again and again as the ravages of the German occupation steadily attempt to grind him—and the city he loves—into submission.

Negotiating a path between resistance and collaboration, he can remain a good man and do nothing—or risk everything he has achieved in a desperate act of resistance.

NIAMEY, Niger (AP) — West African nations have given Niger’s coup leaders one week to reinstate the country’s democratically elected president and have threatened to use force if the demands aren’t met.

The announcement came at the end of an emergency meeting of West African countries Sunday in Nigeria, where the regional bloc, known as ECOWAS, convened to respond to last week’s military takeover. President Mohamed Bazoum remains under house arrest and has yet to resign.

“In the event the authority’s demands are not met within one week, (the bloc will) take all measures necessary to restore constitutional order in the Republic of Niger. Such measures may include the use of force,” said the statement.

The bloc also imposted strict sanctions, including suspending all commercial and financial transactions between ECOWAS member states and Niger and freezing of assets in regional central banks.

Economic sanctions could have a deep impact on Nigeriens, who live in the third-poorest country in the world, according to the latest U.N. data. The country relies on imports from Nigeria for up to 90% of its power, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency.

The sanctions could be disastrous and Niger needs to find a solution to avoid them, the country’s Prime Minister Ouhoumoudou Mahamadou told French media outlet Radio France Internationale on Sunday.

“When people say there’s an embargo, land borders are closed, air borders are closed, it’s extremely difficult for people … Niger is a country that relies heavily on the international community,” he said.

The 15-nation ECOWAS bloc has unsuccessfully tried to restore democracies in nations where the military took power in recent years. Four nations are run by military governments in West and Central Africa, where there have been nine successful or attempted coups since 2020.

In the 1990s, ECOWAS intervened in Liberia during its civil war. In 2017, it intervened in Gambia to prevent the new president’s predecessor, Yahya Jammeh, from disrupting the handover of power. Around 7,000 troops from Ghana, Nigeria, and Senegal entered, according to the Global Observatory, which provides analysis on peace and security issues.

If the regional bloc uses force, it could trigger violence not only between Niger and ECOWAS forces but also civilians supporting the coup and those against it, Niger analysts say.

“While this remains to be a threat and unlikely action, the consequences on civilians of such an approach if putschists chose confrontation would be catastrophic,” said Rida Lyammouri, senior fellow at the Policy Center for the New South, a Morocco-based think tank.

Lyammouri also said he does not see a “military intervention happening because of the violence that could trigger.”

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken commended ECOWAS’ leadership Sunday to “defend constitutional order in Niger” after the sanctions announcement, and joined the bloc in calling for the immediate release of Bazoum and his family.

The military junta, which seized power on Wednesday when members of the presidential guard surrounded Bazoum’s house and detained him, is already cracking down on the government and civil liberties.

On Sunday evening it arrested four government officials, including Mahamane Sani Mahamadou, the minister of petroleum and son of former President Mahamadou Issoufou; Kassoum Moctar, minister of education; Ousseini Hadizatou Yacouba, the minister of mines, and Foumakoye Gado, the president of the ruling party. That’s according to someone close to the president, who was not authorized to speak about the situation, and a Nigerien analyst who did not want to be named for fear of reprisal.

The same night, junta spokesman Col. Maj. Amadou Abdramane said on state television that all government cars need to be returned by midday Monday and banned the use of social media to diffuse messages against state security. He also claimed that Bazoum’s government had authorized the French to carry out strikes to free Bazoum. The Associated Press can’t verify his allegations.

In anticipation of the ECOWAS decision Sunday, thousands of pro-junta supporters took to the streets in the capital, Niamey, denouncing its former colonial ruler, France, waving Russian flags and telling the international community to stay away.

Demonstrators in Niger are openly resentful of France, and Russia is seen by some as a powerful alternative. The nature of Moscow’s involvement in the rallies, if any, isn’t clear, but some protesters have carried Russian flags, along with signs reading “Down with France” and supporting Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“The situation of this country is not good … It’s time for change, and change has arrived,” said Moussa Seydou, a protester. “What we want from the putschists — all they have to do is improve social conditions so that Nigeriens can live better in this country and bring peace,” he said.
