@BoyGeorge Hey George, Ignoring the immense suffering and loss of life on Gaza🇵🇸, and blindly affirming a specific stance, deserves severe criticism for lacking empathy. Saying “I just need to behave like a human” is perceived as condoning and justifying ongoing mass sacrifice and violence.
Cultural Continuity of the Nile Valley Civilization. The Luo are descendants of Ancient Egypt and arguably have the most beautiful and diverse culture.
Queen Ahhotep I
(Ancient Egyptian: jꜥḥ-ḥtp(.w), alternatively Anglicized Ahhotpe or Aahhotep, "Iah (the Moon) is satisfied") was an ancient Egyptian queen who lived c. 1560–1530 BCE, during the end of the Seventeenth Dynasty and beginning of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt.
Her titles include King's Daughter, King's Sister, Great (Royal) Wife, She who is joined to the White Crown, and King's Mother.
She was the daughter of Queen Tetisheri and Pharaoh Senakhtenre Ahmose, and was probably the sister, as well as the queen consort, of Pharaoh Seqenenre Tao.
Ahhotep I had a long and influential life, and is believed to have governed as a regent for her young son, Ahmose I, until he was old enough to rule. A stela found at Karnak praises Ahhotep's abilities as a leader, and the cult of Amenhotep I continued to remember Ahhotep after her death, up until at least the Twenty-first Dynasty.(Wikipedia)
🇮🇩 Inside Indonesia's slave island where people are still born into bondage
Two hours from the tourist beaches of Bali, slavery is still a reality on the Indonesian island of Sumba, where some are born into bondage.
In Afghanistan 14-year-old Afghan girl Nazgol was forced by her family to marry a 63-year-old man — a local Taliban-linked mayor on his 4th marriage.
Just days later, her wedding video went viral on social media.
When other men saw the footage of his young bride, the old man felt humiliated and lost his “honor.”
In a rage, he strangled Nazgol to death, to erase the stain off his honor !
Her wedding was her death sentence.
She never got to turn 15.
This is Afghanistan under Taliban rule.
A young girl sobs and begs not to be sold, but her father sells her anyway — just to pay off his debts.
This is modern-day slavery. Pure horror.
Where are the women’s rights organizations?
Where are the human rights activists?
Nowhere to be found.
Shame. Hypocrisy. Cowardice.
Extreme injustice under Taliban rule!
A father in Nangarhar’s Achin district was allegedly tortured simply for refusing to marry his daughter to a Taliban district commander.
This is not justice, it’s brutal abuse of power.
Daughters are not commodities, and a father’s refusal is not a crime.
‼️ This is not a fair/festival. This is the funeral of those Afghans who flee Afghanistan for a better future.
And in between, they die. Sometimes because of freezing cold, sometimes because of heat, sometimes because there’s no water, and sometimes due to exhaustion.
Afghans have died in large numbers in the last 5 years for just one reason: fleeing the Afghan Taliban.
They choose a path of death and die.
In this video you will also hear the sound of children crying.
Now you can imagine for yourself that people are taking this difficult route to escape.
To escape from the Taliban.
A short while ago, authorities confirmed that at least 20 people have been killed, 80 injured, and many more remain missing following the devastating floods that struck today in Nuristan, Afghanistan.
Dozens missing in Afghanistan as devastating flood strikes.
Rescuers use excavators and poles to search for missing residents trapped under mud and boulders in eastern Afghanistan, after a major flood smashed through one province killing at least 23 people
‼️🇻🇪 #URGENTE | TRABJANDO CON LAS UÑAS Y SIGUEN RESCATANDO. DIOS LOS BENDIGA:
EL RESCATE DE LULI después de 23 días bajo escombros hasta ser entregada a sus papitos humanos quienes la esperaban con mucho amor.
Y pensar que yo me la quería quedar pero la vida simplemente sabía que su lugar siempre sería con su verdadera familia que estaba llorándola desde el día uno pensando que estaba muerta, aún no supero que sobrevivió esos 23 días esa pequeña de 9 meses
