The beloved Mariam Abu Dagga left behind this will to her son. She was murdered today at Nasser Hospital while doing her journalistic work covering a prior airstrike on the hospital. Heartbroken. (1/4)
18-year-old Vitor Roque could make his Barcelona debut today.
He'll be looking to add his name to a group of Brazilian forwards who have thrived at the club 🤙
Nobody talks about how a $1,000,000 mortgage costs you $1,217,160 in interest payments ON TOP of the $1,000,000 in loan payments on a house
You pay $2,217,160 to borrow $1,000,000!

قوى الحرية والتغيير
بيان مهم
تتقدم قوى #الحرية_والتغيير للشعب السوداني بالتهنئة بمناسبة عيد الأضحى المبارك، الذي يجيء هذا العام بأنهار من الدماء والأحزان نتيجة الحرب المشتعلة منذ الخامس عشر من أبريل الماضي والإنتهاكات الجسيمة المصاحبة لها من فقدان لأرواح ومُمتلكات المواطنين والمشاق التي ترتبت على العباد والبلاد في مجال الخدمات والنزوح من مناطق الحروب واللجوء إلى دول الجوار آملين وعاملين من أجل إيقاف هذه الحرب اللعينة وتجاوز آثارها وإستعادة مسار ثورتنا المجيدة نحو الحرية والسلام والعدالة.
نثمن درجة الوعي العالية لقطاعات واسعة من شعبنا ساهمت في تفويت الفرصة على الفلول وأدعياء الحرب ومُخططهم لتحويلها لحرب أهلية، ستفشل هذه المساعي والدعوات والأحلام وستنتهي هذه الحرب وكل ما تمخض عن إنقلاب ٢٥ اكتوبر وسيستعيد شعبنا مسار الإنتقال المدني الديمقراطي.
نؤكد إستمرارنا في دورنا المتواصل دون إنقطاع ومنذ اليوم الأول لهذه الحرب للوصول لإيقاف إطلاق النار تمهيداً لوقف هذه الحرب، نثمن في ذات السياق إعلانات طرفيها بشكل منفرد عن هدنة يوم عرفة وأول أيام #عيدالاضحى المبارك وإعلان #الدعم_السريع إطلاق سراح عدد من الأسرى بمناسبة العيد المبارك
كما ندعوا الطرفين إلى الإفراج فوراً عن الأسرى والمعتقلين، وتغليب مصلحة الوطن بالوقف الفوري للحرب وكافة الإنتهاكات المصاحبة لها.
نأمل أن يعود علينا العيد في وطن أفضل يسوده السلام والحرية والعدالة.

Thomas Sankara was a revolutionary African leader.
He drove out French imperialism from Burkina Faso and withdrew from IMF and made the country non-reliant on foreign aid.
He was assassinated in a coup led by his close ally, Blaise Compaoré supported by French imperialists
As far as African leadership goes, Thomas Sankara was cut from a different piece of cloth.
Here are some of his accomplishments, ONLY 4 YEARS in power (1983-87):
– He vaccinated 2.5 million children against meningitis, yellow fever and measles in a matter of weeks. – He initiated a nation-wide literacy campaign, increasing the literacy rate from 13% in 1983 to 73% in 1987. – He planted over 10 million trees to prevent desertification – He built roads and a railway to tie the nation together, without foreign aid – He appointed females to high governmental positions, encouraged them to work, recruited them into the military, and granted pregnancy leave during education. – He outlawed female genital mutilation, forced marriages and polygamy in support of Women’s rights – He sold off the government fleet of Mercedes cars and made the Renault 5 (the cheapest car sold in Burkina Faso at that time) the official service car of the ministers. – He reduced the salaries of all public servants, including his own, and forbade the use of government chauffeurs and 1st class airline tickets. – He redistributed land from the feudal landlords and gave it directly to the peasants. Wheat production rose in three years from 1700 kg per hectare to 3800 kg per hectare, making the country food self-sufficient. – He opposed foreign aid, saying that “he who feeds you, controls you.” – He spoke in forums like the Organization of African Unity against continued neo-colonialist penetration of Africa through Western trade and finance. • He called for a united front of African nations to repudiate their foreign debt. He argued that the poor and exploited did not have an obligation to repay money to the rich and exploiting – In Ouagadougou, Sankara converted the army’s provisioning store into a state-owned supermarket open to everyone (the first supermarket in the country). – He forced civil servants to pay one month’s salary to public projects. – He refused to use the air conditioning in his office on the grounds that such luxury was not available to anyone but a handful of Burkinabes. – As President, he lowered his salary to $450 a month and limited his possessions to a car, four bikes, three guitars, a fridge and a broken freezer. – A motorcyclist himself, he formed an all-women motorcycle personal guard. – He required public servants to wear a traditional tunic, woven from Burkinabe cotton and sewn by Burkinabe craftsmen. (The reason being to rely upon local industry and identity rather than foreign industry and identity) – When asked why he didn’t want his portrait hung in public places, as was the norm for other African leaders, Sankara replied “There are seven million Thomas Sankaras.” – An accomplished guitarist, he wrote the new national anthem himself
