Il faut avoir les nerfs solides pour suivre les matchs des équipes africaines commentés par des journalistes occidentaux. La condescendance, le manque de respect, de professionnalisme, d’éthique, de déontologie envers les africains est insupportable.
Salute to Lionel Mpasi Nzazu. Stood on his head for as long as he could making five saves, four of which were in the box and all diving. His performance had all of DR Congo dreaming 🙏🇨🇩
Fair play ❤️

They gave everything, but it just wasn't enough...
But they can be proud of their journey. 👏
It was their first World Cup appearance since 1974, and they won their first-ever World Cup game against Uzbekistan and held Portugal to a draw.
And they only fell short against England in the final minutes...
Les Léopards made a whole nation believe again. 🫶🇨🇩
Perhaps the video that best explains the World Cup. A Japanese fan is inconsolable after their 2-1 loss to Brazil in extra time.
Brazil fans console him and Mexican fans toss him into the air.
The World Cup 2026.❤️⚽️
Freedom: The Child Everyone Forgot 💔
Of all the children in The Polygamist, Freedom is the one who stayed with me long after the series ended.
Freedom represents the children who grow up too quickly. The children who become witnesses to adult pain long before they are emotionally equipped to process it. He watched his mother struggle. He watched Sarah carry the pain of rejection. He watched the emotional devastation that surrounded his family, yet there was very little room for his own pain.
What many people overlook is that Freedom was carrying another burden too: the longing to know his father.
Throughout the series, you can see a young man trying to make sense of his identity. He wants answers. He wants to know where he comes from. He wants to understand the man whose absence shaped his life. Yet his mother is unwilling or unable to give him those answers.
This is the reality of many African homes.
Many children grow up fatherless, not only because their fathers are absent, but because the conversations about them never happen. Mothers are often carrying their own wounds of abandonment, rejection, betrayal, and disappointment. Understandably, they want to protect themselves from reopening old scars. But sometimes, in protecting themselves, they unintentionally neglect the emotional needs of their children.
A child's desire to know their father is not always about wanting a relationship with him. Sometimes it is about wanting to understand themselves.
When those questions remain unanswered, a void begins to grow.
What broke my heart about Freedom is that he seemed to carry all of this in silence. The birthday cake was never really about the cake. It was about being remembered. Being seen. Being celebrated. Being important enough for someone to notice.
Freedom became the child who was emotionally left behind while everyone else was fighting their own battles.
And perhaps that is why his drinking made so much sense. Not because he was weak, but because he was carrying grief, confusion, rejection, and unanswered questions that nobody seemed willing to address.
For me, Freedom's story is a reflection of a much bigger problem. We cannot build healthy families while ignoring the emotional needs of our children. A mother's healing matters. A father's presence matters. But the child's experience matters too.
Because when children grow up with unanswered questions, unresolved wounds, and emotional neglect, those wounds do not disappear. They are carried into adulthood, relationships, parenting, and communities.
And that is how brokenness travels from one generation to the next.
Freedom's story reminds us that the children who seem quiet are often carrying the loudest pain. 💔

Israel tied up children and babies, KILLED them, then buried them in mass graves.
A French aid worker: “We found a mass grave in Gaza containing 300 bodies. Small children were killed with their hands tied behind their backs
EuroMedHR: Inside the mass graves, they found children & babies with their hands bound with zip ties
This photo is from 2 mass graves discovered at Nasser Hospital, southern Gaza, in April During the genocide, the EuroMedHR documented over 130 mass graves of victims of the Israeli genocide
Oh the irony… this is exactly what the western media predicted would happen in South Africa… chaos, empty rooms, disaster etc. Now the actual washout is happening in America. 😆
As the world looks elsewhere, Israel continues to exterminate Palestinians in Gaza. Days in days out. Shame on complicit western media and all complicit governments.
