The body’s battle with #mpox
How the #virus spreads, mutates, and attacks humans
The latest strain is a mutated version of clade I, a form of mpox spread by contact with infected animals that has been endemic in #Congo for decades.
You can see the contrast between those infected in the African region (men and women somewhat evenly) and the rest of the world (almost all men). The variant in Africa can spread through close contact.

The Democratic Republic of #Congo has filed criminal complaints in France and Belgium saying that #Apple's supply chain is contaminated with "blood minerals".

Their lawyers argue Apple is complicit in crimes committed by armed groups that control mines.

Rise up, fallen fighters
Rise and take your stance again
'Tis he who fight and run away
Live to fight another day
. . .

As a man sow, shall he reap
And I know that talk is cheap
But the hotter the battle
Ah, the sweeter Jah victory.

Bonjour !

C'est avec joie que nous participerons à la

🙌 Levée de fonds en soutien aux luttes décoloniales

ce dimanche 8 décembre à Pol’N à #Nantes

Les orgas ont tout fait pour que ce soit le plus accessible possible, nous serons juste là en point info et soutien.

L’évènement à deux objectifs :

👉🏼 Celui de récolter de l’argent pour être en solidarité financière avec la #Palestine, le #Liban, le #Congo, et le #Soudan.
👉🏼 Celui de s’informer collectivement sur les situations de génocides, guerres et de répression coloniales, et de réfléchir ensemble à comment retrouver du pouvoir politique et s’organiser à Nantes en soutien des luttes décoloniales.

There is no #diamond mines in #Israel, but Israel largest export is diamond. Israel exploit #Congo and steals it’s #diamonds via an #Israeli billionaire known as Dan #Gertler.

#France has no gold mines, but billions in #gold reserves. France’s gold #reserves are managed by the Banque de France, which holds approximately 2,436 tons of gold, making it the fourth-largest holder of gold reserves globally.

The country exploited gold resources in its colonies, #Niger, #Mali, #BurkinaFaso.

I don’t bring joy into any room lately. I don't bring joy because I currently have none. There's currently a #genocide happening in #Palestine, #Sudan, the #Congo, and some other places we probably don't know about.

#Gaza is not background noise.

The genocide is not something we can grow used to.

We are living through some of the worst crimes humanity has known. In #Palestine and #Lebanon but also elsewhere, in #Sudan or #Congo.

The powers that be will never stop this, since they want and profit from it, it's up to us to stop them.

It's only us, there's no one else...

While I am still recovering from the election and getting over the anger over the paradigm that put him back into office, I find I cannot deny the humanity of those suffering including Sudan, Congo, Haiti, and Gaza. Children are dying. We must continue to fight for humanity. We must act! #Haiti #Sudan #Congo #Gaza #BDS
