Merci Ariane Chemin pour cet article sur le livre de mon père. A chaque période, ses horreurs et ses témoins, trop souvent oubliés.

Aucun éditeur ne voulait du livre de Sylvain Vergara quand il tente de le publier, au début des 60’s. Le jeune résistant déporté de Buchenwald en a sangloté jusqu’à la fin de ses jours dans son fauteuil. Il parait enfin aujourd’hui, 120 pages magnifiques https://t.co/9Oxique2fb

Timely @jakpost editorial on importance of measles and rubella immunization - The protection of life is one of the "maqasid al-Shariah", the ultimate objectives of Islamic law. Immunization saves lives. #immunization #measles #Indonesia https://t.co/r3XLrZcIBS

Seen today in @jakpost - Can we imagine a similar photo showing 3 female "decision-makers" - obviously discussing important issues, flanked by 2 good-looking males? Might as well crop them out. Avoidable, irritating, revealing. #indonesia #Press

A toilet is so much more than a place to 💩 - it gives children the opportunity to grow up in a healthy environment! #worldtoiletday https://t.co/fNc9D098IP

[UNICEF Laos @UNICEFLaos]

Can you imagine life without a 🚽? In #Laos 1.6m out of 6.5m people practice open defecation. Toilets for equity. @UNICEFLaos #WorldToiletDay
