Hunger and Malnutrition Surge in Ethiopia’s War-Torn Tigray After U.S. and WFP Halt Food Aid (www.democracynow.org)
 

The United Nations is warning rates of severe malnutrition in Ethiopia’s Tigray have risen sharply with nearly 9 million people needing food aid in the war-ravaged northern region. The World Food Programme and the U.S. government, Ethiopia’s two largest food donors, both halted deliveries to Tigray in April, saying the food was being diverted away from those in need. A Tigray official said hundreds have died, including children, since the aid was withdrawn, calling the situation “extremely desperate.”

Why the French Deny Their Own Racism in c/worldnews@kbin.social
[–] proprioception@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

French policing of climate protests have been draconian from the get go, state violence is encouraged by the heavy militarisation of the gendarmerie in France.

Not uncommon around the West since 911, and getting worse in many countries as social protest and political polarisation intensifies.

The issues being protested are unifying, or would be if not for this militarisation of state force, indicating intolerance for dissent.

Hondurans Fight Private Cities Run by U.S. Companies as Gov’t Sued for Outlawing “Neocolonial Project” (www.democracynow.org)
 

In Honduras, communities are fighting back against privatization and foreign exploitation after Honduran President Xiomara Castro and Congress repealed a law that established so-called Economic Development and Employment Zones, where private companies have “functional and administrative autonomy” from the national government. Now a Delaware-based company called Próspera has launched a case to challenge the repeal of the law under the Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement and is seeking almost $11 billion, which amounts to nearly two-thirds of the country’s entire 2022 budget. This is an example of the “extreme investor rights” of this international trade agreement directly opposing Honduran sovereignty, says Melinda St. Louis, director of Public Citizen’s Global Trade Watch. We also speak with local leader Venessa Cárdenas of Crawfish Rock, the area directly impacted by the Próspera ZEDE on the island of Roatán, about the stress of losing control over their community. “We don’t know when our home will be taken from us,” says Cárdenas. “We, of course, have the rights to be free and previously consulted on any type of project that is being done in our community.”

Sorry for late reply, still getting used to the fediverse.

Everyday for the weather, ETS gets replaced by similar concepts.

Thanks for asking. Have a nice one.

Bird Jaguar the great likely used his hips or buttocks to send the victim's remains, encased in a large rubber ball down a long flight of stone steps.

Ball skills!

The captain maybe, but if someone actually made the ball go through the hole the game was stopped and that person was given all the wagered loot, and was also able to take things from the audience or whoever he wanted too.

Thing is, it was really difficult to make the shot. So a very rare occurrence.

Also the audience got really into betting, some of them lost it all, and some even gambled themselves into slavery.

Fun game!

He’s a stunt, JFK’s generational legacy is a reminder that aristocracy has not gone away, it just pantomimes as a participant in democracy.

Poll finds kiwis have the most positive attitude towards refugees in the world [not The Guardian's headline] in c/newzealand
[–] proprioception@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

The reason kiwis are scoring so high is due to our burning desire to go up to foreigners and ask them “so what do you think of New Zealand?”.

Naivety comes a distant second behind our obsession with finding out how we’re doing on the ‘world stage’.

We’d be asking it before the refugees were out of the harbour as we gave them their cup of Milo.

The ETS is on my mind, and the strange weather.

Probably the most important assassination in New Zealands history. The killer remains unknown.
