Pep - what can I say? Where do I start? ✍️🩵

It’s difficult to truly describe the impact Pep has had - not only on Manchester City as a football club, but on everything around it as well. The trophies and achievements speak for themselves. But what made him special was always much bigger than winning.

For me personally, he was never just a manager. He was a mentor, a leader and also a friend.

From the very first day we worked together, he challenged me to see football differently. Every detail mattered. Every meter on the pitch had a purpose. There were moments when his intensity pushed all of us to our limits mentally and physically - but looking back, that obsession with perfection is exactly what made his teams so extraordinary.

What many people don’t see from the outside is the human side of Pep. Beyond football, he is incredibly humble, thoughtful and someone who genuinely cares about the people around him.

Over the years, I was lucky enough to experience that side of him very closely. He made me a better player, but also a better person.

When I look back on my career one day, my time working with Pep will always be one of the defining chapters of my journey.

ManCity without Pep will never be the same again. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, my family, the football club, the community and Manchester as a whole. 🩵

Looking forward to seeing you at the game on Sunday! @PepTeam 🙏

Ton père a combattu Kagame pour les mêmes motifs que ceux pour lesquels Kagame agresse aujourd’hui la RDC. Et toi, tu te retrouves défendu par Kagame, qui attaque ton pays pour les mêmes raisons fallacieuses qu’hier. Cela explique tout. Joseph Kabila est un gâchis : il porte la responsabilité des morts des Congolais, en complicité avec Kagame.

#RDC : Le fils aîné, Joseph Kabila : Vouloir me lier au #M23, c’est de la stupidité @nytimes.

Le père, Paul Kagame à propos de ses deux fils : un mouvement congolais auquel est associé l’ancien président Joseph Kabila @jeune_afrique.

Est ce que le père peut-il se tromper en parlant de la proximité, de la complicité et la filiation entre deux de ses fils ? Non !

Pourquoi le fils ainé renie-t-il sa filiation avec son autre frère qui se charge pourtant de sa sécurité ?

Il devrait assumer pleinement et sans retenue sa part de responsabilité dans les crimes familiaux commis depuis le début de cette agression.

Nouvel échec dans la tentative du père de vouloir « congoliser » à travers ses complices de fils, l’agression rwandaise mondialement reconnue pourtant.

Le verbiage familial ne pourra nullement altérer la vérité et les faits largement documentés. Ils sont en plus très têtus.

Drôle de famille !!!!

Un inglés en Windsor se le plantó a un negro que estaba predicando.

Lo bueno? Bien que los ingleses se están plantando ante el reemplazo

Lo malo? El negro estaba predicando la palabra de Dios. Que es la religión de Inglaterra

Otra cosa mala? Siempre una mujer metiendose defendiendo a los extranjeros

Como lo ven ustedes? Los leo...

@TemuniP It's interesting that you've been casting doubt on every report of abuses by M23, including the mass graves recently found. What is your own agenda?

We have reached a turning point in #Rwanda’s history. After months of disciplined consultation and strategic coordination, #Rwanda’s opposition leaders, human rights defenders, pro democracy activists, and political figures in exile, along with their counterparts in Rwanda, many still bearing the scars of @PaulKagame's
@UrugwiroVillage secret police torture cells, have agreed to unite under one banner to fight for genuine democracy in Rwanda.

Discussions among the various factions are ongoing, and we plan to begin introducing representatives of this unified opposition coalition to members of the United States Congress shortly.

More information will be forthcoming.

Spare the theatrics. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is a sovereign state under international law, not a ward of Kigali and certainly not an administrative extension of any armed non-state actor. Sovereignty is not contingent on temporary security distortions in one locality.

Let’s be precise.

The Rubaya coltan site sits within internationally recognized Congolese territory. De facto interference by an armed group does not extinguish de jure ownership. Under the Westphalian framework and UN Charter principles of territorial integrity, the state retains permanent sovereignty over natural resources. That doctrine is settled.

As for M23, it is a non-state armed actor operating in violation of Congolese constitutional order. Its control, to the extent it exists, is insurgent and legally null. It does not confer mineral title, negotiating authority, or geopolitical standing.

And let’s address the elephant in the room: Rwanda. Kigali has no treaty-based custodianship over Congolese subsoil assets. Cross-border patronage networks, security externalities, or historical grievances do not amount to jurisdiction. Proxy leverage is not sovereignty. Full stop.

If Kinshasa elects to structure a forward-looking minerals framework with external partners, that is a matter of statecraft. States routinely securitize future output, structure offtake agreements, or designate strategic assets ,even in contested zones ,because sovereignty is a legal constant, not a battlefield variable.

The attempt to frame this as “selling what it doesn’t control” confuses operational control with sovereign title. Those are distinct legal categories. Temporary territorial contestation does not create extraterritorial veto power for Rwandan hardliners or their auxiliaries.

Bottom line:
The Democratic Republic of the Congo retains plenary authority over Rubaya and every other inch of its territory. Any Rwandan-linked armed interference is a violation of international norms ,not a negotiating seat at the table.

Sovereignty is not up for subcontracting.

NEW: 13-year-old Australian boy swims for four hours in cold and dangerous waters to save his mom and siblings who were swept into the ocean, says God is who got him to shore.

The family was on kayaks & paddleboards when they were swept about 2.5 miles out to sea.

After a conversation with his mother, Austin Appelbee decided he would swim back to shore to find help.

Appelbee says he prayed throughout the four-hour swim and told God he would get baptized if he made it out alive.

"I don't think it was actually me [swimming]... It was God the whole time. I kept on praying, kept on praying. I said to God, 'I'll get baptized.'"

"The waves are massive, and I have no life jacket on… I just kept thinking 'just keep swimming, just keep swimming,'" he said.

"And then I finally made it to shore, and I hit the bottom of the beach, and I just collapsed."

Appelbee says when he got to shore, he had to sprint for about a mile to find help.

According to AP, the family drifted 9 miles from Quindalup and spent 10 hours in the water.

When he reached the shore, Appelbee alerted authorities, who then sent out a helicopter to find his mom, 12-year-old brother, and 8-year-old sister.

Austin's mother, Joanne Appelbee, said one of the hardest decisions of her life was sending her son to shore.

"One of the hardest decisions I ever had to make was to say to Austin: 'Try and get to shore and get some help. This could get really serious really quickly,'" she said.

What a remarkable kid.

Le récit soigneusement construit par @PaulKagame s’effondre. Des voix de plus en plus nombreuses en Afrique et à l’international exposent la vérité: derrière son image de stabilité et d’autorité morale se cachent violence systématique, répression et impunité. Du #Rwanda à la #RDC, son régime est accusé de crimes graves, y compris des actes génocidaires et des atrocités de masse. La vérité rattrape ceux qui bâtissent leur pouvoir sur le mensonge. #PaulKagame sera de plus en plus reconnu non comme un sauveur, mais comme l’un des plus grands trompeurs de notre époque, responsable de souffrances humaines immenses.

[DK @dan1410]

KAGAME���S STORY IS FALLING APART.
THE SCRIPT NO LONGER HOLDS.
HIS CLAIMS READ LIKE POOR FICTION.
MORE VOICES CALL IT WHAT IT IS. DECEPTION.
THE IMAGE OF A SAVIOR CRACKS.
WHAT REMAINS IS A RECORD OF FRAUD.
AND A REGIME ACCUSED OF GENOCIDAL CRIMES.
IN RWANDA.
IN CONGO.
CALLING FOR JUSTICE FOR THE VICTIMS IN RWANDA AND THE DRC.
