Gorgonias in the Mediterranean coast of Cap de Creus Natural Park (Comarques Gironines, Catalonia).

“The disappearance of gorgonias can cause a chain reaction that will affect the entire Mediterranean ecosystem” - Janire Salazar, Marine biologist from ICM - CSIC.

Gorgonias are organisms that make up entire underwater forests: areas in which many other species go to shelter, breed and grow. Mediterranean gorgonias currently suffer the daily impact of traditional fishing methods like gillnets. And like in any other forest, if the elements that make it up are not protected, the wildlife that it harbours will disappear. The ResCap project, which is carried out by ICM – CSIC, Fundación Biodiversidad and the fishermen’s associations of Port de la Selva and Cadaqués, aims to protect and recover all deep-sea gorgonias found in the Cap de Creus Natural Park.

Gorgonias are marine organisms which, despite the way they look, are not plants or algae, but animals. They are stationary, live in depths of more than a hundred meters, show very slow growth and take many years to recover. They are vulnerable, but great biodiversity depends on their growth. “Gorgonias are a structural species to the Mediterranean ecosystem, as they favour the growth and survival of multiple species,” says Marina Biel, one of the biologists from CSIC involved in the project.

Biologists, fishermen and agents from the Cap de Creus Natural Park work together to rescue all those gorgonias that have been accidentally trapped in fishing nets. Once recovered, the gorgonias are taken to the lab’s experimental aquariums to be studied and treated before they are freed again. When they are ready to go back to the marine environment, they are affixed to a base made of stone so that its weight will create the so-called “badminton effect” when they are released back into the sea. “The badminton effect ensures that the gorgonia will land on its feet on the seafloor and will therefore be able to feed itself and survive with no problems,” Marina Biel says.

The Pleamar projects bring to the forefront how important it is for biologists and fishermen to work together on the restoration of sea floors and the preservation of an essential species for the Mediterranean ecosystem: gorgonias. “Both parties work towards the same goal: to protect the sea floor and its biodiversity,“ ICM - CSIC biologists Janire Salazar and Marina Biel point out. Salvador Manera, a fisherman from the fishermen’s association of Port de la Selva and driving force of other sustainable projects linked to the Mediterranean, highlights how valuable these synergies will be into the future: “They help to raise awareness and to make us understand that we need to fish in a sustainable way if we want to carry on doing our job.” 

Over the first year of the project (2018), more than 400 gorgonias were released back into the sea, with a survival rate above 90%. All parties involved hope to match or improve these results in 2019, as they also help to raise awareness about these kinds of initiatives. “There is an increasing number of people who are interested in marine conservation projects,” Janire and Marina say, as they insist on the meaning behind these actions: “The actions you take today will be rewarded tomorrow. It’s about giving something in return for the great things that the sea gives us each day.”

Mozambique: Post-Election Protests Violently Repressed

At Least 11 People Killed; Dozens Seriously Injured

(Johannesburg) – Mozambique security forces killed at least 11 people and injured dozens of others using live bullets and tear gas during post-election protests across the country on October 24 and 25, 2024, Human Rights Watch said today. The authorities should promptly and impartially investigate the apparently excessive use of force.

On October 24, the Mozambican election commission announced that Daniel Chapo and the ruling party Frente de Libertação de Moçambique (Front for the Liberation of Mozambique, FRELIMO) had won the October 9 general elections. The elections and pre-elections period were marred by political killings, widespread irregularities, and restrictions on the rights to freedom of expression and assembly.

“The Mozambique security forces’ violent crackdown on protesters has severely increased political tensions following the country’s elections,” said Allan Ngari, Africa advocacy director at Human Rights Watch. “Mozambican authorities should promptly and impartially investigate alleged misuse of force and hold those responsible accountable.”

Human Rights Watch interviewed 22 people in person and by telephone between October 24 and 27, including victims and witnesses to the violence, physicians, journalists, government officials, and officials of local civil society groups.

Over 50 people suffered serious gunshot wounds, and many, including children as young as one year old, inhaled tear gas that the police fired indiscriminately into residential areas. Police have detained over 400 people who allegedly engaged in public disorder, looting of shops, destruction of public and private property, and an attack on a police station.

Excerpt « La mère de Momoro » in Annales révolutionnaires by Albert Mathiez

Albert Mathiez, historian and convinced Robespierrist, also admirer of Momoro

Text extract from Mathiez's "La mère de Momoro"

The printer Momoro, who was one of the most capable and convinced leaders of the Hébertist party, did not play a mediocre role in the Parisian revolution—quite the opposite!

As the editor of the journal of the Cordeliers Club, he was included in the prosecutions against the republicans after the unfortunate Champ de Mars affair. The week he then spent in prison brought him the sympathy and support of the sans-culottes. He joined the directory of the Paris department after August 10 and was assigned several missions by the Executive Council.

Raised to honors, he remained simple and profoundly democratic. He died as poor as he had lived.

The day after his execution, Fouquier-Tinville wrote to the administrators of the Doubs department on Germinal 5, Year II, inviting them to confiscate, for the benefit of the Republic, the properties that the condemned Momoro might own in Besançon, where he was born in the Parish of Saint-Pierre, on November 13, 1755.

At that time, Momoro’s father, who had worked as a shoemaker, was already dead. But his mother, who had taken a job as a servant after her husband's death, was still alive.

When the commissioners of the Besançon district went to her home, she had just died, probably from the shock of the news of her son's execution.

“Today, Germinal 11, Year II of the Republic, at eleven o'clock in the morning, we, Jean François Denisot, member of the general council of the Besançon district, appointed by order of the same district on this day to affix seals at the home of the mother of the named Momoro, who has just suffered the death penalty in Paris, and having with us François-Joseph Bernard as our secretary clerk, we went to the home of citizen Forno, a war commissioner, where the said Momoro was a cook. There, we invited citizen Forno to show us the room of the said Momoro, to which she replied that she had died the previous night but was ready to introduce us to the room she occupied.”

End of the excerpt. But it must be emphasized that Momoro's inheritance was just a bit of linen, 26 livres and 400 livres in assignats. With this, it cannot be said that Momoro was wrong in his trial when he claimed he could not be accused of counter-revolution because he had given everything for the revolution (yes, the last sentence is my fangirl heart speaking XD).

Jill Colvin, Colleen Long, and Lindsay Whitehurst at AP, via HuffPost:

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Donald Trump was the target Sunday of “what appears to be an attempted assassination” at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, the FBI said, just nine weeks after the Republican presidential nominee survived another attempt on his life. The former president said he was safe and well, and authorities held a man in custody. U.S. Secret Service agents posted a few holes up from where Trump was playing noticed the muzzle of an AK-style rifle sticking through the shrubbery that lines the course, roughly 400 yards away. An agent fired and the gunman dropped the rifle and fled in an SUV, leaving the firearm behind along with two backpacks, a scope used for aiming and a GoPro camera, Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said. The man was later taken into custody in a neighboring county.

It was the latest jarring moment in a campaign year marked by unprecedented upheaval. On July 13, Trump was shot during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and a bullet grazed his ear. Eight days later, Democratic President Joe Biden withdrew from the race, giving way for Vice President Kamala Harris to become the party’s nominee. And it was sure to add to the questions about Secret Service protective operations after the agency’s admitted failures in preventing the attempted assassination of Trump this summer. In an email to supporters, Trump said: “There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!” He wrote: “Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER!”

He returned to Mar-a-Lago, his private club in Palm Beach where he lives, according to a person familiar with Trump’s movements who was not authorized to discuss them publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. It was not immediately clear whether the incident would affect his campaign schedule. He was set to speak from Florida about cryptocurrency live on Monday night on the social media site X for the launch of his sons’ crypto platform. He planned a town hall Tuesday in Flint, Michigan, with his former press secretary, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, followed by a rally Wednesday on New York’s Long Island.

[...] The Florida golf course was partially shut down for Trump as he played, but there are several areas around the perimeter of the property where golfers are visible from the fence line. Secret Service agents and officers in golf carts and on ATVs generally secure the area several holes ahead and behind Trump when he plays. Agents also usually bring an armored vehicle onto the course to shelter Trump quickly should a threat arise. The Palm Beach County sheriff said the entire golf course would have been lined with law enforcement if Trump were the president, but because he is not, “security is limited to the areas that the Secret Service deems possible.”

Yesterday, Donald Trump was the target of an apparent assassination attempt at his Trump International Golf Club. This is the 2nd assassination attempt against him this campaign cycle, just over two months after the assassination attempt in Butler, PA.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Donald Trump was the target Sunday of “what appears to be an attempted assassination” at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, the FBI said, just nine weeks after the Republican presidential nominee survived another attempt on his life. The former president said he was safe and well, and authorities held a man in custody.

U.S. Secret Service agents posted a few holes up from where Trump was playing noticed the muzzle of an AK-style rifle sticking through the shrubbery that lines the course, roughly 400 yards away.

An agent fired and the gunman dropped the rifle and fled in an SUV, leaving the firearm behind along with two backpacks, a scope used for aiming and a GoPro camera, Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said. The man was later taken into custody in a neighboring county.

It was the latest jarring moment in a campaign year marked by unprecedented upheaval. On July 13, Trump was shot during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and a bullet grazed his ear. Eight days later, Democratic President Joe Biden withdrew from the race, giving way for Vice President Kamala Harris to become the party’s nominee.

And it was sure to add to the questions about Secret Service protective operations after the agency’s admitted failures in preventing the attempted assassination of Trump this summer.

In an email to supporters, Trump said: “There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!” He wrote: “Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER!”

He returned to Mar-a-Lago, his private club in Palm Beach where he lives, according to a person familiar with Trump’s movements who was not authorized to discuss them publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

It was not immediately clear whether the incident would affect his campaign schedule. He was set to speak from Florida about cryptocurrency live on Monday night on the social media site X for the launch of his sons’ crypto platform. He planned a town hall Tuesday in Flint, Michigan, with his former press secretary, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, followed by a rally Wednesday on New York’s Long Island.

Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, said in a post online: “I’m glad President Trump is safe. I spoke to him before the news was public and he was, amazingly, in good spirits.”

Biden and Harris were briefed and would be kept updated on the investigation. The White House said they were “relieved” to know Trump is safe.

Harris, in a statement, also said “violence has no place in America.”

In the aftermath, Trump checked in with allies, including Vance, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham and several Fox News hosts.

Fox News host Sean Hannity recounted on air his conversation with Trump and the former president’s golf partner, Steve Witkoff.

They told Hannity they had been on the fifth hole and about to go up to putt when they heard a “pop pop, pop pop.” Within seconds, he said Witkoff recounted, Secret Service agents “pounced on” Trump and “covered him” to protect him.

Trump had returned to Florida this weekend from a West Coast swing that included a Friday night rally in Las Vegas and a Utah fundraiser. His campaign had not advised about any public plans for Trump on Sunday. He often spends the morning playing golf, before having lunch at the club, one of three he owns in the state.

He has had a stepped-up security footprint since the assassination attempt in July. When he has been at Trump Tower in New York, parked dump trucks have formed a wall outside the building. At outdoor rallies, he now speaks from behind an enclosure of bulletproof glass.

The Florida golf course was partially shut down for Trump as he played, but there are several areas around the perimeter of the property where golfers are visible from the fence line. Secret Service agents and officers in golf carts and on ATVs generally secure the area several holes ahead and behind Trump when he plays. Agents also usually bring an armored vehicle onto the course to shelter Trump quickly should a threat arise.

The Palm Beach County sheriff said the entire golf course would have been lined with law enforcement if Trump were the president, but because he is not, “security is limited to the areas that the Secret Service deems possible.”

“I would imagine that the next time he comes to the golf course, there will probably be a little more people around the perimeter,” Bradshaw said. “But the Secret Service did exactly what they should have done, they provided exactly what the protection should have been and their agent did a fantastic job.”

Former presidents and their spouses have Secret Service protection for life, but the security around former presidents varies according to threat levels and exposure, with the toughest typically being in the immediate aftermath of their leaving office.

Trump’s protective detail has been higher than some other former presidents because of his high visibility and his campaign to seek the White House again.

The man in custody was Ryan Routh, three law enforcement officials told the AP. The officials who identified the suspect spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation.

The FBI was leading the investigation and was working to determine any motive. Attorney General Merrick Garland was receiving regular updates. Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were helping investigate.

“The FBI has responded to West Palm Beach Florida and is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination of former President Trump,” the bureau said.

News reporters were not with Trump on Sunday. Bucking tradition, Trump’s campaign has not arranged to have a protective pool of reporters travel with him, as is standard for major party nominees and for the president. Harris does not have a protective pool at all times, but does allow reporters to travel with her for public events.

Martin County Sheriff William D. Snyder said the suspect was apprehended within minutes of the FBI, Secret Service and Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office putting out a “very urgent BOLO” — or “be on the lookout” alert detailing the specific vehicle sought, license plate number and description of the occupant.

Snyder said his deputies “immediately flooded” northbound I-95, deploying to every exit between the Palm Beach County line to the south and St. Lucie County line to the north.

“One of my road patrol units saw the vehicle, matched the tag and we set up on the vehicle,” Snyder said, “We pinched in on the car, got it safely stopped and got the driver in custody.”

Snyder told WPTV that the suspect “was not armed when we took him out of the car.”

The man had a calm, flat demeanor and showed little emotion when he was stopped by police, Snyder said, saying the suspect did not question why he was being pulled over.

“He never asked, ‘what is this about?’ Obviously, law enforcement with long rifles, blue lights, a lot going on. He never questioned it,” Snyder said.

Hiiiii first of all congrats for 400 !!! It's such a cute idea I would love to participate in . Thank u and have a nice day/night !!!

"Is that? No, it couldn't be..." you mutter to yourself. Your friends dragged you to this singles party, and you spot this person from across the room. (11h whole sign ruler in 1h and Libra 10h whole sign) Slowly you weave you way to the crowd to them. They look exactly as you remember (1h ruler in 7th retrograde).

You grew up with them. Their goofy banter and mischievous eyes sparkle (7h ruler as Gemini Moon). You briefly dated for a summer but never forgot each other. They recognize you immediately and make a joke using their old nickname for you. You can tell that other people have their eyes on this person, but they only have eyes for you (moon in 5th Placidus). They suggest you take a walk to the art museum around the corner. "It's getting a little crowded in here," they say.

You walk in comfortable silence to the art museum. The sky is array with stars in the night sky (10h ruler is Pisces Venus in 3rd). You both stop in front of the museum. They are looking at you. "What?" you blurt, feeling a little self conscious. They take a step closer and whisper, "I've been wanting to kiss you ever since I saw you tonight." (Kiss asteriod conjunct Dsc)

Feeling bold, you lean forward and kiss them (Asc trine Uranus). They are taken aback by it a first (Uranus square moon), but you soon lose yourselves in the kiss. The kiss is beautiful, sensual, and everything you both want. Your person eventually breaks off the kiss, breathing heavy (12h ruler in 10h trining moon by sign). This kiss was intense and awakened the tension between you two (Sun square Pluto). Your person tells you how much they'd love to continue to spend time with you. Perhaps going somewhere more private but knows that you want to see your friends. (4h NN, Mars trine moon) They walk back to the party with you, making jokes but silently hoping that you will want to continue the night.

Thank you 💛 Hope you like it! I've kept the story gender neutral so you can input your romantic preferences in the story :)

On the fourth day of Ramadan, Palestinians in Gaza are growing ever more desperate as food shortages continue and the Israeli military targets aid seekers and distribution sites.  Israeli forces killed 7 Palestinians and wounded about 86 others after opening fire on a group of Palestinians waiting for aid to arrive at the Kuwait Roundabout in Gaza City, reported Wafa.

In recent weeks, Israeli forces have repeatedly attacked the roundabout where large groups of people gather to wait for aid trucks. On Tuesday, Israeli forces killed 11 people waiting for food aid at the roundabout. Al Jazeera correspondent Hani Mahmoud says the Kuwait Roundabout [is] “known as a death trap” and that it’s becoming increasingly dangerous right now for aid seekers. “We heard from a hungry and largely traumatized population stranded in the Gaza Strip asking what is the purpose of getting those trucks into Gaza and its northern area if they’re getting shot at,” Mahmoud reported from Gaza. Just hours before, Israeli forces launched an attack on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) distribution center in Rafah; one staff member was killed, and twenty-two others were wounded.

“Today’s attack on one of the very few remaining UNRWA distribution centers in the Gaza Strip comes as food supplies are running out, hunger is widespread and, in some areas, turning into famine,” said UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini in a statement on X.  “Every day, we share the coordinates of all our facilities across the Gaza Strip with parties to the conflict. The Israeli army received the coordinates, including this facility yesterday.” The killing of an UNRWA aid worker at a distribution center is “devastating” for crucial humanitarian relief deliveries in Gaza, Martin Griffiths, the U.N.’s top emergency aid official, says.

“How are we to maintain aid operations when our teams and supplies are constantly under threat? They must be protected,” Martin Griffiths posted on X. “This war has to stop.” Shortly after the UNRWA announcement, Israel claimed its air strike on a U.N. food distribution center in southern Gaza killed a Hamas commander.

In a statement, Hamas said Abu Hasna was a member of its civil police force, not its military wing, and condemned his killing as a “cowardly assassination” meant to disrupt aid distribution, reported Al Jazeera.  Since October 7, Israeli forces have killed more than 400 people seeking shelter in U.N. facilities in Gaza. The military also hit over 150 of the agency’s structures despite having protected status under international law. “The United Nations, its personnel, premises and assets must be protected at all times … I am calling once again for an independent inquiry into these violations and the need for accountability,” Lazzarini added.

[fauvelienne]

Lili

Tu t’appelle Lili, tu es entré dans ma vie un jour d’octobre, comme tombent les feuilles à cette période, par hasard.

Un hasard peu commun car ta maman était très malade. Tu devais partir à Bali, et puis tu as changé d’avis.

Moi je revenais au bled après 5 ans. J’étais en plein burn-out je n’en avais parlé à personne mais c’était une mauvaise période. Mais pas pire que de voir sa mère malade, m’étais-je dit en l’apprenant de ta sœur.

Ta maman c’est ma voisine au bled. Celle que j’ai connu depuis ma naissance. Celle qui a une maison depuis laquelle on voit mieux la mer que de chez nous, ça me rendait jalouse quand j’étais plus petite. Je trouvais ça injuste que les arbres me chachent la mer à la maison.

Un matin, ma maman te présente à moi comme celle avec qui elle a fait les 400 coups plus jeune. Dans la discussion, je me rends compte que tu es une personne très douce, bienveillante et je ressens tant l’amour inconditionnel que le non jugement. J’analyse tout, ta voix un peu cassée mais qui me reste dans la tête. Ton sourire, les bracelets à tes poignets, les bagues à tes doigts.

Je me sens aimée. Instantanément. J’ai ma place dans le cœur de quelqu’un. Je trouve une grande cousine et bien plus que ça, une grande sœur. Dans ton regard je me sens comme une personne saine, douce. Pour ça j’ai envie de changer. À ce moment, je sais que je ne suis pas à ma place dans ma vie actuelle, que je mérite mieux. On sait pas toujours ce qu’on vaut.

Les jours passent, on se voit tous les jours. Je ne te dis pas grand chose de ma vie j’ai le sentiment que je n’ai pas besoin de te raconter quoi que ce soit. Tu sais. Toi tu me racontes toute la tienne. Tes voyages, tes amis, ton boulot. L’état de ta maman ne s’améliore pas. On se promet des mots « ça va aller promis ». Ça devient notre phrase. Cette phrase de @aelnaute

Vient le moment où je dois rentrer du bled. Ce jour là alors que je charge mes valises dans la voiture je supplie le ciel de t’envoyer. Ça se produit, tour de chance. Les derniers mots de courage, que je retiendrai longtemps. Je garde dans ma tête la douceur de ta voix cassée, ton parfum, tes gestes. Ce jour là je te promets de ne pas t’oublier et de faire en sorte d’aller mieux. Toi tu me promets de ne pas m’oublier.

Le retour est dur. Dans l’avion je ne dors pas je pleure silencieusement. Je pleure le manque, je pleure le travail que je vais devoir faire pour devenir la personne que je dois devenir. Je ne veux pas seulement être une fille saine un temps, ça doit durer.

Pendant des semaines, je pleure en appelant ton nom chaque fois qu’il m’arrive une galère (et elles sont nombreuses). J’ai besoin de quelqu’un pour me conseiller, d’un adulte plus adulte que moi.

Lorsque ta maman est partie rejoindre un autre monde. J’ai eu peur de ne pas savoir être suffisamment là. J’ai fait avec ce que j’étais et ça semblait bien. Pour la première fois de ma vie je suis assez.

Lorsque tu pars finalement à Bali, on se parle beaucoup même avec 8h de décalage.

Moi j’avance. Enfin. J’obtiens mon permis et un nouveau travail. Quand j’étais venue au bled j’avais fait 50 candidatures je n’avais pas une réponse. Comme par enchantement j’en fais 10 j’ai 10 réponses.

Je deviens cette personne dont tu es fière.

Le temps passe, Noël, nos anniversaires, le jour de l’an. La vie.

En mars, j’ai le privilège d’apprendre avant tout le monde que tu pars vivre dans les îles. Pour 2 ans au moins. Ça me brise un peu le coeur et à la fois je suis heureuse pour toi. Moi aussi j’ai changé de vie, chacun son tour. Je ne sais pas quand on se reverra mais je commence à économiser durement. Actuellement j’espère pouvoir venir en janvier. On se verra en 2024 tu as ma parole.

C’est toi qui m’a proposé qu’on se voie à l’aéroport avant que tu partes. Je n’ai pas hésité une seconde. J’ai posé une aprèm. Et j’ai couru.

C’était doux. Ça m’a fait du bien de te voir en allant mieux. Ça m’a fait du bien de me jeter dans tes bras en criant « Lili ».

Une dernière promesse. Avec 2 bracelets de @aelnaute Où que tu soies je veillerai sur toi.

C’était moins dur que je pensais de te laisser dans cet aéroport. Parce que je sais. Je sais que la distance ne peut rien faire contre l’amour d’une famille. J’ai confiance en nous maintenant.

On m’a toujours dit loin des yeux loin du cœur mais c’était pas vrai. Je te parle tellement plus souvent à toi qu’à ceux qui vivent à côté de chez moi. J’ai compris qu’un entourage ça se choisit. Ça se construit. C’est la première fois que je n’ai pas peur de la distance. Alors que quand je suis partie du bled, tu sais, si je t’envoyais un message un jour sur 2 c’était pas à cause du décalage horaire. C’était parce que je testais, parce que j’avais trop peur de m’attacher. Et puis j’ai arrêté de vouloir faire semblant d’être froide, parce que ce n’est pas ce que je suis. Je suis quelqu’un de bien. Je veux être cette version de moi qui existe dans ton esprit.

Je m’estime heureuse d’être si bien entourée. D’enfin savoir sur qui compter.

C’est doux d’être aimée. C’est doux de ne plus avoir peur. J’ai vu le vrai moi avec toi.

Je t’aime de tout mon coeur.

1er décembre : le 80e anniversaire du massacre de Thiaroye, la fin d’un déni français

Au Sénégal et dans plusieurs pays d’Afrique, on célèbre le 80e anniversaire du terrible massacre de Thiaroye opéré par l’armée française en 1944. Après 80 ans de déni, la France et notamment plusieurs localités comme Morlaix, où ils avaient été cantonnés, commémorent cette journée honteuse du 1er décembre.

Fin novembre 1944, plus de 1 600 soldats africains (officiellement 1 280) issus de différents territoires de l'Afrique-Occidentale française sont regroupés dans le camp de Thiaroye, à une quinzaine de kilomètres du centre de Dakar. On les appelle les « tirailleurs sénégalais » mais ils sont aussi originaires Dahomey (actuel Bénin), du Soudan français (actuel Mali), de la Haute-Volta (actuel Burkina-Faso), de la Côte d'Ivoire, de l'Oubangui-Chari (actuels Tchad et Centrafrique), du Niger, du Gabon et du Togo. Ils ont aidé la France à vaincre l’occupant allemand, leur mission étant terminée, ils ont été rapatriés pour être démobilisés.

Ils n’ont été payés que très partiellement et la plupart refusent de quitter le camp tant que leur solde n’aura pas été versée intégralement en outre il réclame que leur pécule en francs français soit changé en franc de l’AOF au cours officiel de 500 pour 1000 FF au lieu de 250 comme on le leur propose. En réponse à ce mouvement de protestation, le camp est investi par les troupes du général Dagnan au matin du 1er décembre et les Français tirent sur les soldats africains rassemblés. L’armée française a d’abord reconnu 35 morts, puis 70… sans compter les très nombreux blessés. Les historiens parlent de plusieurs centaines de morts, probablement entre 300 et 400. 80 ans après, la majeure partie des archives françaises concernant ce crime de guerre ne sont toujours pas publiques.

Le président Hollande en 2014 est le premier à reconnaître une “répression sanglante”, mais en s’en tenant au bilan  officiel de 1945 : 35 morts, sans les nommer ni révéler le lieu de leur sépulture ni reconnaître la spoliation du rappel de solde et la responsabilité de l’armée. Le 28 novembre 2024, le président Emmanuel Macron reconnaît officiellement le ‘massacre’ de Thiaroye dans une lettre adressée à son homologue sénégalais Bassirou Diomaye Faye, anticipant de trois jours ce 80e anniversaire. À l’assemblée nationale française, on annonce une commission d’enquête… En parallèle, côté sénégalais, un groupe d’historiens, de documentalistes et d’archivistes a été missionné pour tenter de faire la lumière sur les nombreuses zones d’ombre autour de ce massacre qui a profondément marqué les populations d’Afrique de l’Ouest. Son évocation auprès des plus jeunes est une illustration de l’époque terrible de la colonisation française et participe au discrédit de la France dans la région. Est-ce une coïncidence si deux jours avant ce 80e anniversaire le gouvernement sénégalais annonçait que l’armée française était invitée à quitter le Sénégal. Le Tchad venait de faire de même.

Le massacre est aussi commémoré chaque 23 août lors de la Journées des tirailleurs.

These people are miserable and yeah they're well over the top and we need to end so I'm sending for people to come here and control them and now we had a great time we're doing things and we're getting places and we definitely need to control here because of that and yeah there's some fallout we also understand that our son has some problems and we can't keep on feeding with these people want every time

-we have several space battles and they are going well we are getting rid of these turds

#the number one main event is Saturn with foreigners fighting the actual empire. The empire is down to probably around $300 billion ships and the foreigners are at 950 billion they've taken heavy losses each and the empire when they are 200 billion we'll start warming up their large stuff and they outnumber the foreigners greatly there are several other fleets but they're all small we do have a plan and it is to assist in the foreigners will then be the predominated force in space unless they lose to ground facilities which they are trying to take there are 300 in their possession 100 Tommy f has and 100 the morlock have in the pseudo empire did not have a showing. They are 500 shy of having them in and they need to push hard and they all are

-we do have more stuff to report there is a space battle off of Mars and it is between the pseudo empire and the clones on the clones are at 100 billion and the pseudo empire is at 200 million and yes they were at 400 billion and the phones were at 200 billion.

#off of Titan no off the rings there's the tower ship battle on its multiple parties around 20 billion ships in an hour in total are lost which is not that many but the tower ship fleet is being hit in the process as they threaten each other with its destruction. So it is a big battle Trump's flea does not severely destroyed but he's lost a third sitting there

#there's some other things of space and they're fairly large they are trying to send ships to Venus several times a day they are wiped out completely and without any reserve meaning there not caring about collecting them and mostly because the ships they grabbed have s*** in them so much s*** they just had to scrap it and they're not sure that the s*** will be out of the metal no it's out of there but it's still stinks. There there is more

#Dave AKA Dan has been off taunting foreigners as our son's Brothers character and got his ass kicked like 50 times he wears some sort of athletic clothing and they left him alone more and he's acting like a maniac and they came from the beat him up for doing that. The idiot is Trump is pretending he's our son or something it's not the right character and he hasn't wrong and everyone keeps telling him while they're beating him up or before or after they beat him up and he's getting beat up a lot today he got beat up five times up there every time he showed up they told him not to show up and he's bringing crappy cars and they said don't bring any cars at all and don't show up and take you in your burlap sack elsewhere and you stink and they're telling him to go away and you won't the hotel is going to write in no trespass he's got all the money this right one for Christ's sake so they said no no his son will as the cop they said good and some of their s*** head right so go ahead with it and Dave will probably see success I might do the right thing there's other stuff going on but he's threatening our son with the pile out back and he had his son so his car because our son said he dragged the one up and buried it and he did and they see it and he is going to get the s*** kicked out of him people want the apartment there's a whole bunch of stuff going on today and it's more in space

# Hera was almost attacked four or five times. The fleets were stopped and they said you're not even going for the iron we're going to destroy you and they said it and they are at that fleet of 200 billion in the pseudo empire will have it momentarily and they said they'll send it from other contingents but mostly they are engaged but they're going to watch if they send them they're going to take it over and it's hardly any reaction besides what they're already doing there are a lot of attacks going on the pseudo empire tonight

-there are a few items that needs to be taken care of. One of them is we are at war and we don't need this distractions as part of war if you allow it to be and it's making people get distracted just laws against allowing it and no but you have rules and we should bring these people to court at The Hague some people want to and we can get group losses together and our lawyer is doing that now

-her son has begun to do some activities Justin has come down twice he goes to the mall with Ken he has written up an ad to trying to work and he's selling his extra tires used tires and a couple new ones he doesn't like and a couple new ones he likes but probably won't use and then he also put it a note out to a couple lawyers one of them is waiting for a call back from and one lawyer called back and he spoke to him for a few minutes and it was valuable and real to a degree and you found out that competing over the 401K and they're trying to get the documents two of them know yeah two of them are clones and he was unsuccessful at first and it passed to his boss and then he was unsuccessful at doing with her son wanted and they don't want to be and then the third is not even calling back they may have but he didn't reach her son and missing the phone calls enough and it's not really but I'm just saying they're trying to get these documents and stuff like that and they're trying to rob the guy it's starting to war out there and we really needed it and it's going to wait for a call back he doesn't have one he's going to try some another party and so on it's working these things he's doing are working is put his name out on a job board and it's working and he is looking for an apartment a little and it's working and these guys in the pseudo empire we found out for being schmucks and jerks too same thing and it is all coming together in the fact that these people here are worth nothing to us and don't want to be and today we had a big issue with Pontiac and it got revisited momentarily ago a moment ago and they had no response and it's idiocy so we're going to ignore them and we're going to get them out they do nothing except and they hardly get him done meaning of low-level job say how they get them done and they are please and disgusting creedence plebs from the plebiscite and really we do know that we are on to what they're doing and we'll stop them right now we have a couple other things to do but we have to get to this right now

Mozambique: Post-Election Protests Violently Repressed

At Least 11 People Killed; Dozens Seriously Injured

(Johannesburg) – Mozambique security forces killed at least 11 people and injured dozens of others using live bullets and tear gas during post-election protests across the country on October 24 and 25, 2024, Human Rights Watch said today. The authorities should promptly and impartially investigate the apparently excessive use of force.

On October 24, the Mozambican election commission announced that Daniel Chapo and the ruling party Frente de Libertação de Moçambique (Front for the Liberation of Mozambique, FRELIMO) had won the October 9 general elections. The elections and pre-elections period were marred by political killings, widespread irregularities, and restrictions on the rights to freedom of expression and assembly.

“The Mozambique security forces’ violent crackdown on protesters has severely increased political tensions following the country’s elections,” said Allan Ngari, Africa advocacy director at Human Rights Watch. “Mozambican authorities should promptly and impartially investigate alleged misuse of force and hold those responsible accountable.”

Human Rights Watch interviewed 22 people in person and by telephone between October 24 and 27, including victims and witnesses to the violence, physicians, journalists, government officials, and officials of local civil society groups.

Over 50 people suffered serious gunshot wounds, and many, including children as young as one year old, inhaled tear gas that the police fired indiscriminately into residential areas. Police have detained over 400 people who allegedly engaged in public disorder, looting of shops, destruction of public and private property, and an attack on a police station.

Allegations embody Romspen withholding mission funds and interesting in habits detrimental to progress. Romspen, which purchased the 375,000-square-foot campus in 2012, maintains it's merely a lender with no management over the mission. In accordance with the lawsuit, Romspen allegedly made a minimum of three loans from 2012 to 2018 that had been by no means absolutely funded. In 2019, Romspen ceased funding altogether, resulting in a standstill in progress, and in 2020, the mission was put into involuntary chapter. The Rompsen-affiliated LLC bought the property out of chapter in October 2020. “The persistent breaches of funding obligations and intentional misery prompted to tasks by such conduct has been used on a number of events to generate further income by way of dangerous religion and illegal habits,” the go well with reads. “In the end, Romspen has adopted its unpublished playbook to perpetuate a fraud. Such fraud shouldn't be rewarded.” Romspen filed a movement to dismiss the lawsuit in November, contending that the LLC is the precise proprietor and a separate entity. Panache, which took over as common contractor in 2018, filed a common denial to the go well with in December and filed a third-party petition that very same day, alleging damages of $12.1 million brought on by Romspen and its affiliated LLC.  Efforts to safe cost for subcontractors have been met with resistance. In response to the plaintiffs’ calls for, Romspen claimed it “had taken over its accounts payable and it now not had the flexibility to deal with its personal affairs concerning the campus,” the outlet reported. Panache has not acquired cost from Romspen since July and has halted all work since September.  Regardless of Romspen’s 2020 buy of the property and subsequent rezoning approvals from Austin Metropolis Council, progress has been marred by monetary disputes. The previous Motorola Campus was slated to be reworked into a contemporary tech and analysis hub, with towers rising as excessive as 400 toes and as much as 4.8 million sq. toes of improvement.  —Quinn Donoghue  Learn extra [ad_2] Supply hyperlink
