1. We continue to raise hue and cry over the plight of all political detainees in Zimbabwe. For every well-known detainee like @PastorEvanLive & MDC Organising Secretary, Amos Chibaya there are hundreds more whose names might never be known or remembered #ZimbabweAtrocities
2. Many people continue to suffer at the hands of the State. Their homes which are supposed to be safe havens have become traps. People are living in fear and many men have gone into hiding. But the system targets families, persecuting them as ransom to flush out their targets.
What is happening has the hallmarks of an undeclared but de facto state of emergency where civil & political rights have been suspended. At least with a de jure State of Emergency you know where you stand. This situation is far worse because it creates a legal sham; a facade.

1. The Mnangagwa regime’s dishonesty & lack of probity has been on show. One day, the state security minister goes on a rant blaming the MDC & NGOs for violence. The next day, police and military blame criminals who allegedly stole uniforms, deserters & retired officers.
2. Their default setting is to blame the MDC & NGOs. Security minister simply followed this tired script. It was implausible, absurd & laughable. So they came up with another theory - our uniforms were stolen, deserters & retired officers kept uniforms. It’s amateurish & worse.
3. Their theory does not explain how thousands of them ended up with military & police trucks plus guns & ammunition. Did the criminals steal these too? Did retired officers take them home when they left? It’s completely absurd but that’s what makes them a laughing stock.

No Rule of Law in Zimbabwe

1. Spare a thought for the hundreds currently detained by the Zimbabwean regime. Senior lawyers believe the magistracy appears to be working under political direction, completely undermining the rule of law & human rights
2. It’s a reminder of the extreme difficulty of seeking justice & recourse using the apparatus controlled by an authoritarian regime. There’s a discernible pattern of uniformity in the manner in which magistrates across the country are mishandling cases of the detained.
3. The pattern includes: • blanket denial to hear bail applications of the detained; • where they are heard, blanket & thoughtless refusal of bail; • fast-tracking trials & denial of preparation & false semblance of judicial process • failure to observe rights of the detained

Stunning new data:

The world’s 2,200 billionaires grew 12 percent wealthier in 2018. Meanwhile, the bottom half of the world got 11 percent poorer.

Don’t be Pinkered into everything’s-getting-better complacency.

The few are monopolizing progress.

And make no mistake. Many of those gathering in #Davos are the cornerstones of the class, and the system, that made it this way.

Arsonists at a firefighting meeting.
“between 1980 and 2016 the poorest 50% of humanity only captured 12 cents in every dollar of global income growth. By contrast, the top 1% captured 27 cents of every dollar.”

The same 1 percent large swaths of which identify as philanthropists.

Pourquoi de la méfiance à l’égard de la presse ? Cas pratique en 7 tweets [NB tous ceux qui ont eu à répondre à une itw de chaîne info savent la difficulté de l’exercice : développer une idée en 20 secondes max au risque d’être coupé•e ]
Cette dame en gilet jaune essaye d’expliquer l’humanité et l’exception que constitue les 1% les plus riches. Elle est coupée “relancée” au bout de 32 secondes avant de finir sa phrase
Résultat : vous avez tous vu passer, accompagné de rires gras et méprisants - y conpris par des journalistes - un truc genre “quand les gilets jaunes croient aux extraterrestres”. J’imagine le desarroi de Claire de se voir ainsi moquée et ridiculisée. Pour rien.

I began my formal research in 1999, eight years after battling my way out of a secret, so-called #Marxist-#Leninist group whose leader controlled my life in its most intimate details.

He determined what I wore: a version of the advice in John Molloy’s bestseller Dress for Success (1975), featuring tailored blue suits and floppy red silk bowties. More significantly, he decided when I could marry, and whether I might have children.
