🇩🇪 Le chancelier allemand Friedrich Merz :
« Aucun hôpital, aucune maison de retraite, aucun chantier, aucun restaurant, aucun hôtel ne pourrait fonctionner aujourd’hui sans les immigrés qui vivent en Allemagne depuis des décennies, qui y travaillent et qui sont pleinement intégrés à la société.
Nous voulons que ces personnes fassent partie de notre pays. C’est pourquoi l’hostilité envers les étrangers n’a pas sa place en Allemagne. »

On va faire comment sans diesel ni kérosène ? Cela nous pend au nez, la Russie et l'Arabie Saoudite n'arrivent plus à exporter... L'UE vient de se tirer dans les deux genoux 👏.
We are not expensive people and maintaining us is not expensive. Me, my daughters, and my family we are very down-to-earth. I have lived in my house for 36 years. We don’t have any needs. There is nothing I haven’t seen. What I want to leave as a legacy is the industrialization of Africa.

“#Eucalyptus”
Rwanda planted dozens of exotic tree species in an experimental forest in 1933 .. 90 years later scientists found “eucalyptus” had acidified the soil.
It is Belgium 🇧🇪 that is responsible for poisoning Rwanda’s soil.
“By the early 1970s, eucalyptus plantations in Rwanda had reached about 23,000 hectares… under Belgian supervision…
Researchers have examined concerns ranging from nutrient removal and soil quality to water use… and described as taking up large amounts of nutrients, leaving soil poorer for other uses.
However, the available research does not establish a 90-year-soil-acidification….
Another clear consequence of Belgian colonial occupation.
In pre-colonial times, no one was allowed to plant any new type of seed without approval of “Abiru” institution - in charge of “anything that could impact land and cattle”… this Institution was taken down by the Belgians who even abused the Kingdom by abusively replacing the King…
Their colonial abuses are still felt deeply in the land and society almost a century later…
Luckily this was put to an end after 1994 and the victory of the liberators the @rpfinkotanyi over the genocidal regime that had been created and maintained in power by the former colonial power … Belgium 🇧🇪 with France 🇫🇷 in 1994.

Professional racing driver Ollie Millroy thanks competitor Loek Hartog for saving his life after getting into a fiery crash over the weekend in China.
Millroy says he'd be dead if Hartog hadn't jumped out of his car to pull him out of his burning car.
"I am still alive tonight, entirely thanks to one man. Loek Hartog stopped instantly with no flag marshalls or fire crews in sight, and risked his own life to get me out of the car."
"I don’t remember anything between 30 seconds before the crash and 1 hour after it, but I will remember his incredible act of bravery for the rest of my life..."
"I’m laying here tonight with 5 broken ribs, broken collar bone, broken hand and finger and a bruised lung, but it could have been much worse."
"Thank you Loek. I owe you my life for your selfless act today."
