DR Congo: M23 Rebels March Towards South Kivu's Bukavu, Burundi Warns Rwanda | Firstpost Africa | N18G

As the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels continue their advance in the eastern DRC, the hearing of a historic case has begun at the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights. For the very first time, the court is hearing an inter-state dispute brought by the DRC against Rwanda over alleged human rights violations. M23 rebels have seized significant territory, including Goma, the largest city in the east. They are now advancing towards South Kivu's capital Bukavu and have seized two towns on the road to the city, Ihusi and Kalehe. Meanwhile, tensions are also escalating with other African nations. Burundi, which borders both DRC and Rwanda has warned of retaliation if its troops are attacked by the M23 rebels in DRC. Watch this video for more.

The story of King Leopold of Belgium’s brutal regime in the Congo Free State, during the late 19th century, is one of the darkest and most important in global history. It is a story of horror - the murky depths of the human soul pushed to its primal limits, European colonialism and the first Scramble for Africa, royalty and politics, celebrity, and modernity. From that pit of depravity, in which the Congolese people endured unimaginable suffering at the hands of their dehumanising western drivers, the first human rights campaign was born, and one of the most seminal novels of all time. So, how was it that the Congo, Africa’s as yet unplundered, un-impenetrable, and deeply mysterious core in the late 1870’s, became the private financial reservoir of one ambitious monarch, while Europe looked on? What occurred during the reign of terror he unleashed there, and why? And, who was King Leopold himself, the troubled, cunning and utterly twisted individual behind it all?

Join Dominic and Tom as they lead us - following in the footsteps of Henry Morton Stanley, the explorer who first pierced the shadowy veil of the Congo in Africa’s interior, and let it bleed into the hands of King Leopold himself - deep into the heart of darkness. As the curtain is lifted from the Congo’s formerly obscuring unknowability, her people's grotesque future of abominable exploitation is revealed, along with man’s capacity for evil, and the demonic greed of one man in particular…

Whether you're a believer or non-believer, when confronting bible slavery, don't let anyone throw up this ridiculous smokescreen that says that the slavery instituted in the old testament was so completely different to, say, pre-civil war US slavery.

The usual tactic is to throw facts and rules about Israelite indentured servitude around, to throw you off the scent of a Yahweh-mandated form of slavery EVERY BIT as bad as anything we've seen in recent centuries. This line of argument is so prevalent that I'm confused as to whether its proponents actually believe it or not; but either way, this video is my attempt to inject a bit of reality into this very important area of discussion.
The god of the bible mandated oppressive life-long slavery of foreigners - pretty much a concise description of one of the worst forms of human rights abuses the world has ever had to grapple with. It's as simple as that.
No, I don't hate God for mandating slavery, and no I don't believe that God is evil for mandating slavery. I don't believe that THIS god, the absurd god of the bible, is even extant, let alone worthy of any adjectives beyond that! This god's inhumane and ridiculously cruel commands say nothing about the god that they are ascribed to, simply because they are so obviously ascribed to a god by the men in whose image this god was made.
Deal with it folks; your god is the brainchild of some particularly awful humans. The bible simply and clearly gets this very easy human rights question utterly wrong.
Abandon it, and keep looking for answers. You'll be ever so glad you did.

Section 1 of the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution reads:
"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

I had to leave out "male and female" in my recounting of Lev 25:45-47; I had a gag about Yahweh being an equal-opportunity enslaver but it got taken out along the way, and it flowed within the video much better with that left out.

The full-rigged ship was the essential technology that enabled the trans-Atlantic slave trade to flourish. Between 1698 and 1807 around 11,000 ships were fitted out in England for the slave trade, transporting around three million Africans.
But the trade also employed other vessels, from in-shore boats supplying the slavers, to the Navy vessels that protected them. Sickness and disease were constant companions to both slaves and crew. Mortality amongst both was high, from disease, mistreatment, accident and suicide.
Dr Stuart Anderson explores the relationship between ships, slavery and sickness, and considers the measures eventually taken to improve health at sea.

AFRICAN AMERICA SECOND CITIZENSHIP DEAD⁉️ TRUMP PLAN TO KILL YOUR Second Citizenship EXiT STRATEGY🚨🚨 #travelban #synolve #ustravel #trump #trumpnews #trumpadministration #secondcitizenship #traveladvisory
Dangerous TRUMP TREND TARGETING AFRICAN AMERICANS EXPOSED!
Trump's Plan to Kill Second Citizenship is unsettling and has multiple implications for African Americans and American travelers as well!
We now live in a world 🌎 where EVERY SINGLE DAY I have to ask myself...
Is This REAL⁉️
In this video, I am exploring the countries the Trump Administration and USA 🇺🇸 are considering BANNING. I share whst it means for citizens wanting a second visa or citizenship in America. I also explore what this means for African Americans and second citizenship in these countries.
Join me for this conversation!
It’s going to be GOOOD!
In this eye-opening video, I uncover the latest policies and potential travel bans under the Trump administration that could impact African Americans seeking second citizenships or visas abroad. Are certain countries being unfairly targeted? What does this mean for those looking for dual nationality or global mobility? Trump's proposed new travel ban would significantly restrict or prohibit entry to the United States for people from 43 countries. This travel ban poses a threat to second citizenship (i.e. dual citizenship). It poses a threat and targets multiple countries that are "friendly" to African Americans for travel, retirement, and investment. This ban includes four of the five Caribbean citizenship by investment countries and several other countries with programs offering citizenship to African Americans such as Burkina Faso, Liberia, Malawi, Mauritania, Benin, and many more.

This video is not to deter you on your journey in anyway! We just need to be aware!
We will not STOP 🛑 WE WILL NOT BE DENIED🚫 WE WILL NOT BE DETERED‼️‼️‼️‼️ This is just t share so we are aware. Now, plan accordingly and stay on your goal 🥅 KEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE 🌎

Join me as I break down the facts, analyze the consequences, and discuss what this means for the future of African American travelers, expats, and global citizens. You don’t want to miss this!

We just need to be aware. Sometimes Family, we just need to talk...
Nothing will stop Us 🌍

"Draft List for New Travel Ban Proposes Trump Target 43 Countries"
A draft circulating inside the administration lists tree tiers of countries whose citizens may face restriction on entering the United States.
These 3 tiers of levels of Travel Advisories are:
RED Do Not Travel. All Travel Banned. 🛑
ORANGE Avoid travel due to serious risks to safety and security. Serious Restrictions. Extreme caution advised. ⛔️
YELLOW Exercise Increased Caution ⚠️
