Comment croire et agir dans la légalité lorsqu’en face ceux qui sont supposés créer les lois et veiller à leur application les torpillent au quotidien?
Quelques citations préférées d’un homme qui a essayé, jusqu’au soir de sa vie, d’être du côté des pauvres et de s’attaquer aux maux de notre temps…

This is depressing and brings me back 20 + years. As a lawyer freshly coming out of school, my 1st job with @CED_Cameroun was to accompany indigenous Baka and Bagyeli people to make their voices heard and enjoy full citizenship. Very sad for status quo!

Haiti, sous instruction de la France en 1825, avait dû payer son indépendance au prix fort: 150 millions de francs pour dédommager les anciens colons, plus l’assurance d’échanges commerciaux privilégiés en faveur de la France. Il est plus que temps de réparer cette injustice.
“Relief workers warn Sudan is hurtling towards an even larger-scale calamity of starvation, with potential mass death in coming months… Food distribution networks have broken down and aid agencies are unable to reach the worst-stricken regions”.

Structural racism by the Dominican Republic against Haiti is deeply rooted despite the two countries sharing an island, a history of anti-colonial struggle, and both having Black-majority populations.
During the current crisis, the DR is deporting Haitians while allowing the US and others to use their country as a landing base for those being evacuated from Haiti.
We spoke to Professor Jemima Pierre of Columbia University and activist with Black Alliance for Peace about this dark history of colonial division.
“A former teacher once told me that we reread books not to uncover something new in them but to see how we’ve changed,” @rosehorowitch writes in the Sunday Daily: https://t.co/EjgUd2qUKe
Yes, the arms that the West sold to Israel were used by Israel to launch an attack on an Iranian consulate in Syria which prompted a retaliatory attack from Iran on Israel which has brought the entire region to the precipice of all-out war.
So, yeah, stop selling arms to Israel.
-Iran was *responding* to Israel’s attack on its embassy, this framing makes it seem like Iran initiated an attack
-If Biden wanted to avoid a crisis he could have supported a ceasefire, instead he gave Israel no red line, aided atrocities in Gaza and shattered international law
