Fucking provocateurs. Let them rot.

"The U.S. Army #Europe and #Africa Command said that the three soldiers' bodies were recovered together with their armoured vehicle trapped in a peat bog in a training ground just 10 kilometres away from the #Belarusian border."

And the reaction of their supervisors? They had a good experience....

"Lieutenant Junior Grade Eric Costello, from the #US #Navy Underwater Construction team said: "The conditions when we got out here on the site were not like anything that we’ve ever had to dive through before, so, just the amount of mud, diving in a peat bog, you know, just complete zero vis (vision), hard to move kind of diving. It's been an interesting experience for us.""

How not to report on Eastern Congo

Western media coverage of the DRC conflict is riddled with inaccuracies, oversimplifications, and racial bias—reinforcing dangerous narratives rather than informing the world.

"We can have different perspectives on the conflict and opposing theories about the geopolitics of the region, but these should be grounded on verified facts rather than sloppy coverage."

While much of contemporary are seems to have lost touch with narrative & representation, equally (having not been represented for so long) black (African) artists are celebrating/recording the black experience in powerful paintings....

Here's Jean David Nko's tiredbody (2021) to illustrate the point

The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 marked the beginning of European powers dividing Africa among themselves, with no African representation. European nations sought control of Africa's resources and to "develop and civilise" the continent.

Ngwi Ndem, an 82cm Cameroonian sculpture known by Europeans as the Bangwa Queen, was supposedly given or sold by Chief Fontem Asonganyi in the 1890s to Gustav Conrau, a German trader and colonial agent. It changed hands several times before being purchased by the Dapper Foundation in Paris in 1999 for $3.8M. Since 2017, Chief Charles Taku, a great grandson of Asonganyi and lead counsel at the International Criminal Court, says that Ngwi Ndem was stolen, and he wants it back. @thecontinent reports on the case as part of its Museum of Stolen History series.

I'm reading @thecontinent occasionally for a while now, and it really gives a different insight into the African continent. As per usual, you should never trust a single source, but I found their articles to be both entertaining and insightful. Even if you don't subscribe, still worth a follow.
