De tout cœur avec la RDC, pays de mon regretté mari Sindika Dokolo et de mes enfants.
Chers frères congolais, soyez fiers de vos couleurs, de votre équipe et de votre nation. Que les Léopards nous offrent un grand match et portent haut les couleurs du Congo.
Allez les Léopards !🇨🇩⚽️❤️
I have encouraged many of my Zambian friends to send their children to the @UCT_news .
The University of Cape Town is the best in Africa and a leading university globally.
My Nigerian friends say hell no. The xenophobia puts them off. Southern Africans know how to navigate.
C’est un honneur de servir le Bénin.
J’en mesure la mission, les attentes.
L’’extraordinaire potentiel humain de la nation béninoise est une réalité.
Mon équipe sera pleinement engagée pour le Bénin, notre pays.
The moringa tree, known as the “miracle tree”, is one of the most nutrient-dense plants on the planet and is prized for its healing qualities. It also has another huge benefit, according to new research: it’s excellent at removing microplastics from water. https://t.co/7brn5FoLIA
A large portion of these big techs secretly cooperate with governments, and anyone who says that they are a power and needs transparency is not wrong. This goes far beyond WhatsApp.
For example, you post one positive piece of information and one negative one about the same topic. What decides which of these opinions will actually circulate is the algorithm, and that algorithm may be serving geopolitical objectives in coordination with governments.
Il faut vraiment se mettre à la place de ces migrants. Ils vendent tous leurs biens pour chercher un avenir meilleur aux États-Unis, et pour les punir, les Américains les renvoient vers l’un des pays les plus pauvres du monde, probablement même pire que leur pays d’origine.
#RDC: Exclusif Câble 🛑🚨‼️| À la suite d’un accord conclu avec les États-Unis, des migrants expulsés du territoire américain ont été accueillis à #Kinshasa. Un premier groupe est arrivé ce Vendredi matin et a été pris en charge à #Bibwa, d’après des sources aéroportuaires et sécuritaires.
Asymmetric Warfare and Iran’s Restored Capability
Satellite images show that Iran has already cleared the bunkers, silos, and launch pads at these sites in just over 48 hours after the ceasefire.
I believe this means they have quickly regained the ability to launch hundreds of missiles per day, at a moment when the coalition’s stock of interceptors is running low.
And this is a major problem for the coalition, because in the first 48 hours fo war alone, they launched more than 700 missiles and nearly 1,000 drones.
I know Netanyahu and Trump really wanted to win this war, but have they truly understood the kind of war they are fighting?
This conflict teaches us a great deal about modern and asymmetric warfare.
In conventional war, if a force loses control of the skies, it usually means the destruction of its equipment and military structures, stripping the army of its ability to react.
Everything becomes vulnerable, from barracks to small checkpoints.
But asymmetric warfare is different. You prepare for a conflict in which you will be heavily bombed and must respond with resilience and gradual deployment, turning the war into a long, exhausting, and attritional struggle.
The key point is that the entire structure must be protected in underground bunkers or very well hidden to survive successive waves of bombings.
In Iran’s case, a mountainous country, many of these fortifications are built inside mountains, taking advantage of the natural terrain, just as the Vietnamese used the jungle to hide their equipment.
These constructions require significant investment and long-term planning, often spanning decades. It is estimated that the Iranian project has cost between $15-20 billion, with dozens of underground bases for storage, maintenance, and assembly of military equipment.
In addition to the missile force, the navy and air force also have these underground bases.

Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.
Dieu ne bénit aucun conflit. Qui est disciple du Christ, prince de la paix, ne se range jamais du côté de celui qui, hier, brandissait l’épée et aujourd’hui lance des bombes. Ce ne seront pas les actions militaires qui créeront des espaces de liberté ou des temps de #paix, mais seulement la patiente promotion de la coexistence et du dialogue entre les peuples.
God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.
This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: “Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood” (Is 1:15).
My book has now been published by the Pretoria University Law Press, a day before my 34th birthday, and four years after I graduated from the University of Pretoria with my doctorate in comparative constitutional law. This book offers lawyers and (legal/constitutional) comparatists comparative insights into the way three (key) constitutional courts enhance the quality of human rights protection through interpretation.
This birthday gift is open access (https://t.co/V5wFvZFKGu). Download your copy and let’s engage (if you need to receive a printed copy for, say, your university library, do let me know).
