Il y a exactement une semaine, j’ai eu l’immense plaisir de joindre ma vie à celle de mon amour @pausevillanunez! Merci à tous pour vos vœux et votre soutien.
I suspect the real reason for Singapore's opposition to a toll on Hormuz is not some high-minded devotion to international law, but because if it's set as a precedent and a toll were to exist on the Strait of Malacca, it would basically kill their current business model.
See, geographically speaking, Malacca runs primarily between Malaysia and Indonesia - Singapore only controls a small stretch at the southeastern exit. Yet currently they capture most of the strait's commercial value through port services, bunkering, and transshipment: it's basically like them having the best "service station" on the world's most popular free highway.
What the Hormuz precedent - if established - is all about is the revenge of geography: power given back to the countries that own the road, as opposed to those with the best rest-stop.
Fantastic news for Malaysia and Indonesia (which is partly why you're seeing key Malaysian political figures, like Nurul Izzah Anwar, issue a highly unusual rebuke of Singapore over Balakrishnan’s remarks: https://t.co/Ca8Mf2SRYJ), but a big threat to a city-state whose entire economy is built on being the best service provider on what's largely someone else's waterway.
@fallyipupa01 Cette année, je rends vraiment gloire à Dieu pour la rencontre entre @tresorofficial et @fallyipupa01.
C’est le genre de move’ que les gens appellent chance mais qui repose sur des années de travail et de dévouement.
C’est autant vrai pour Fally que pour Tresor.
This is Dr. Von Batten. At approximately 4:51 p.m. today, I received first reports of a possible security incident involving the First Lady of the #DRC, Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi @DeniseNyakeru. According to preliminary information, individuals identified by security as Rwandan nationals allegedly attempted an unlawful and hostile breach of the First Lady’s hotel room.
Security personnel intervened swiftly, leading to a brief but intense struggle. The suspects ultimately escaped, with some accounts indicating they may have fled in a vehicle believed to have official links to the @PaulKagame Government of Rwanda @UrugwiroVillage. At this stage, it remains unclear whether this incident constituted an attempted assassination, an act of intimidation, or an effort to conduct surveillance.
What is clear from reports is that the rapid response of security personnel prevented a potentially serious escalation. We commend their decisive action and are grateful that the First Lady is safe. The United States Government has been informed, and we will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as more verified information becomes available. In the meantime, we ask for prayers for the safety of the First Lady, President #Tshisekedi @FelixUdps@Presidence_RDC, and their family.

Candace Owens - "The reason America want a regime change in Iran is because Netenyhu is demanding it"
Her claim has now been proven. The only question left is how many more Americans have to die before they admit she was telling the truth
Daniel Levine-Spound has published a legal analysis of Rwanda's war in DRC in Harvard's International Law Journal. However long these things take - and God knows the international climate is hardly propritious - there is eventually a legal reckoning. https://t.co/wvV3jxYXUd
@AugustCohen4@HarianaVeras@AugustCohen4 you have faced challenges explaining your own American politics, I don't think you are the best journalist to talk about #DRC matters
@AndyBemba On parle de quel patriotisme sans patrie ? Le patriotisme se mérite. L’Etat congolais ne résout aucun problème collectif. Il résout le problème d’argent pour une minorité et c’est tout.
Le mot patriotisme est très important pour être galvaudé là où il n y a pas de patrie.
