15 yrs ago, while hiking on my own, I was violently assaulted & raped. Every anniversary, I go for a solo hike to remind myself I can still do it, that there is great beauty to be found, even after trauma. Here’s today’s hike. And my essay I always post 👉tinyurl.com/482k67e9

«Because they never learn from their previous disastrous experiences, are never bothered by massive deaths of the people of #Tigray about whom they pretend to care, & the only thing they care about is their hunger for power, #TPLF are now beating the war drums for the 3rd time.»
«In #Ethiopia, #TPLF's lust for power has as its aim to control again Welkait, Tegede & Humera, where they've committed genocide in their 27 years of misrule, & to open the corridor to the #Sudan, thereby plunging the country into chaos & disintegration.»

1/ US COLONIZATION OF AFRICA
The US has military operations [outposts] in 53 countries out of 54 on the African continent. The only country in which they don’t have any military activity on the continent is Zimbabwe, hence there is no pin on Zimbabwe.

Die Kommission bedankt sich bei den Familienangehörigen von Oury Jalloh, der Initiative zum Gedenken an Oury Jalloh, Filmemachern, Brandexperten und Technikern dafür, dass sie uns eine sehr aufschlussreiche Perspektive auf die Ereignisse vom 7.
Januar 2005 im Dessauer Polizeirevier vermittelt haben. Die Videoinstallation, die wir gesehen haben, hat uns in einer Weise zu Zeugen der Ereignisse gemacht, wie es bisher nicht möglich war.
@GavinNewsom The program "Keep Your Home California" was a life saver and a home saver until it ran out of funding. If california cared about the homeless crisis more focus should be put on programs like this that actually save homes and prevent adding to the homeless pop
that you already struggle to help us tackle. Stop allowing investors and lenders to half ass their "help" for homeowners and offer real help for underwater mortgage holders now..We matter, our families matter, veterans deserve better.
Stop foreclosures now. Listen to and tell our story and the growing list of veteran families who need you to do your job and protect them. Lenders, investors and the US govt need to investigate the underwater VA mortgages and talk to us VA homeowners..

sent on rescue to her.
The worst happened, that despite her plea the police officers started blaming her for crying out for help after narrating her ordeal and the physical and mental torture.
The husband assaulted her right while police officers were trying to gain entrance.

I’ve had to pause this photo-diary of Cambridge over recent days, put my camera down and restrict what I do until I can feel safe. The CamDiary photo project which evolved out of a published written diary over 13 years ago is being halted.
Over 11 thousand Cambridge photos with over 13 million views since 2007 - flickr.com/photos/camdiar…
Before I consider completely ending this photo project (I would prefer to continue it) and contemplate my future in Cambridge I am #breakingthesilence for the sake of my children and grandchildren. I have never discussed these painful topics before.

On Monday 27th Of January 2020 we got a distress call from a young girl in Enugu state that she was raped by a certain Uchenna Emenike. We immediately got to the victim that night and took her to the police station where she made a complaint and arrest was effected
On the alleged Rapist. The following day we took the victim to to the hospital for medical examination and the doctor confirmed that she was indeed raped. That same morning we started receiving calls from the area commander, and the inspector in charge of the case begging us to
bring the victim for negotiation, the victim vehemently refused. Subsequently, they requested that the victim comes for interview with the area commander.We kindly told them that the victim will be available the following day since she was still very much down and in trauma

A silence that has sustained an artificial normalcy within and outside the region. A silence that has stalled any form of criticism within & outside the people.

MSII is smarter than that and aspires for more. Schools for girls & sponsorship of girls is a drop of bleach in an ocean of blood.

Saving a life can start with a conversation. A message to a friend who may be struggling, with:
"Are you OK? I'm here for you."
Retweet this to #BreakTheSilence
Reach out, and share. If this gets 50k retweets, I will dress as a 🍕 slice for 7 days straight!

We live in a society where stigma keeps many people from seeking help & treatment for themselves and stops others from talking about it. We need to change the culture around mental health & suicide, look out for one another, show compassion & have each others backs. Always!
I personally know that a simple message to someone who is struggling can literally save their life. So if you know of anyone whether that be a friend, colleague or someone else that may be feeling down or distressed please reach out.
