As #M23 approaches the city of #Goma,Uhuru #Kenyatta is getting nervous. It seems that on the agenda,Goma was supposed to fall into the hands of rebels after EAC troops,Ugandan/Sudanese have arrived in Eastern Congo.Then rebels would put the city into the hands of EAC⬇️

2)Why is #Uhuru #Kenyatta seems to be running out of time to send there more #EAC troops and yet existing ones did nothing to stop rebels? Why did he wait until rebels are on the gates of Goma city? Obviously those troops are to create a buffer zone only!

BREAKING: The United Nations decided seconds ago to remove cannabis from Schedule IV of the 1961 Single Convention!!! 🎉
All other five #WHO recommendations were rejected. Particularly the CBD recommendation had only 6 votes in favor (needed 27 to pass). Please don't interpret this as an anti-CBD vote. The recommendation had many issues, as explained in this and in previous articles.

The story has been updated to reflect that all the other WHO cannabis recommendations were rejected.
1. En cette période de commémoration, je voudrais parler de Rose, une grande dame pour laquelle je veux tenir nos mémoires en éveil. Sa vie a basculé entre le 22/04 et le 17/06/1994. Chaque jour jusqu'au 17/06, je vais vous parler de celle qu'elle fut #laVieDeRose #Rwanda #RwOT🇷🇼
2. Comme toute chronique, l’itinéraire de vie que je vais vous raconter est divisé en plusieurs périodes. L'histoire de Rose suit le calendrier de l'Histoire de son pays natal, le Rwanda : avant 1959, entre 1959 et 1994, entre avril et juillet 1994 et après 1994. #laVieDeRose
3. Elle s’appelait donc Rose, et elle était aussi belle que la reine des fleurs. Comme ne tarderait pas à le démontrer son parcours accidenté de jeune fille, de femme, de mère puis de veuve, Rose appartenait à la version la plus résistante de l’arbuste dont elle porte le nom.
Durante um debate na #CND, principal fórum internacional para a formulação de políticas de drogas em nível global, a pesquisadora brasileira e assessora da @PlataformaPBPD foi interrompida pelo Coordenador-Geral da Polícia Federal, Elvis Aparecido Secco.
Enquanto apresentava dados do Observatório da Intervenção sobre os principais impactos da intervenção federal no Rio de Janeiro, apontando o aumento de 35% no número de pessoas mortas pela polícia, Luciana Zaffalon foi interpelada pelo policial federal, que questionou os dados.
O delegado questionou as conclusões da pesquisadora, afirmando que não se poderia dizer “pessoas” de forma tão genérica considerando que não se tratam de inocentes.
