I have always been a firm advocate for women's inclusion in governance and decision-making. My commitment to gender equality is unwavering because I believe that a society thrives when women are actively involved in shaping policies and leading initiatives. It is imperative that we take legislative action to secure women's participation in politics. One of the key steps toward this goal is mandating that party delegate selections include women, this is not just about fairness; it is about ensuring that the voices of half our population are heard in leadership spaces. Beyond policy discussions, I have consistently highlighted the challenges women face within governmental structures. Many women in leadership positions hesitate to speak up, often out of fear or societal pressure. This must change. We need structural reforms, including the creation of special seats for women and the enforcement of laws that guarantee at least 35% representation in governance. We must break down entrenched gender stereotypes and cultural barriers that have kept women on the sidelines for too long. At the 69th Session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69), global leaders—including UN Secretary-General António Guterres—reaffirmed the need for more women in leadership. The UN has made significant strides in achieving gender parity among senior leadership by expanding the search for qualified women, proving that when given the opportunity, women lead with excellence and impact. My participation in the Nigeria Women’s Day event at CSW69 is yet another step in my relentless advocacy for gender equality. The fight for inclusion is not just about women—it is about building a more just and prosperous society for all. I will continue to push for systemic change, and I encourage every Nigerian woman to take up space, raise her voice, and claim her rightful place in governance. Together, we can make a difference, not just in Nigeria but on the global stage. Ireti Kingibe, Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT)

AfDB PRESIDENCY: ZAMBIA'S DR. SAMUEL MAIMBO OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES CANDIDACY Dr. Samuel Maimbo has been endorsed by both the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). LUSAKA, Zambia, Jan. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Development finance expert Dr. Samuel Maimbo today announced his candidacy for President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), presenting a transformative vision for Africa's economic future. "Africa stands at a critical juncture," Dr. Maimbo declared. "We need to get one billion people to work as quickly as possible by strategically supporting the industries that will improve livelihoods and ignite prosperity on our continent. The AfDB needs bold, results-driven leadership that is unafraid of making the hard decisions required to get the job done." With a 30-year career characterized by delivering real-world impact – record-breaking fundraising, translating bold ideas into practical implementation plans, and enhancing institutional efficiency – Dr. Maimbo represents an exciting way forward for the AfDB. His presidential platform focuses on achieving middle-income status for Africa through an AfDB which is laser focused on pace, scale and effectiveness of delivery. "Africa needs significantly higher rates of growth to successfully navigate today's development challenges and capture tomorrow's opportunities," said Dr. Maimbo. "I'm ready on day one to support governments in reaching their goals. It's time to stop talking about Africa's potential and start realizing it." Dr. Maimbo's core priorities include: Trade and Regional Integration: Currently at just 3% of global trade, Africa has immense growth potential through the AfCFTA's unified market of 1.4 billion people. Financial Resources: Strengthening markets, boosting savings, and attracting diverse investments can close Africa's financing gap. Agricultural Transformation: With 60% of the world's uncultivated arable land, Africa can become a global agricultural powerhouse. Infrastructure Development: Modernizing infrastructure is crucial for competitiveness and growth. Energy Access: Accelerating energy access while promoting sustainability will power Africa's long-term economic advancement. Climate Action: Despite contributing <4% to global emissions, Africa faces disproportionate climate impacts. Scaling up investments in resilience and embracing new technologies will safeguard Africa. Creative Industries: A powerful driver of youth employment and cultural exports, Africa's creative industries can amplify Africa's global impact. Inclusivity: Young people, women, and underserved communities across Africa must help design effective strategies. Born and raised in Lusaka, Dr. Maimbo has worked in development finance across Africa and the globe, most recently serving as the Vice President of Budget, Performance Review, and Strategic Planning at the World Bank. As Chief of Staff to successive World Bank Presidents, he played an instrumental role in advancing the institution's mission and strategy at the highest international levels. His stewardship in resource mobilization secured an unprecedented $93 billion financing package under the International Development Association replenishment, with over 70% of the organization's global commitments directed toward Africa.

I thank everyone who signed and supported our petition for the UK Parliament to debate the WHO IHR amendments. We made it! They will debate them and I will be there on that day. I would like to also take the opportunity to thank everyone who has supported the World Council for Health in 2023. This past year has seen our coalition of more than 225 grassroots organisations go from strength to strength! With your financial contributions, we have demonstrated leadership in medicine, holistic health and science, international health policy, and human rights law. The World Council for Health has become a leading voice on health and sovereignty issues that impact everyone. At WCH, we envision a healthy, free, and sovereign world where we all have what we need to generate, sustain, and protect our own health and that of our loved ones, our communities, and our environments. However, a minority of special interest groups have a rather different vision, they envision a New World Order where we have nothing, and they have everything. A world of monopoly power where we, the many, are made fearful and exploited by the few. This is the most pressing issue of our time and it has grave implications for the future of our children if we choose to do nothing. This is why we at the World Council for Health, in collaboration with the grassroots groups of men and women in every country, are actively countering this dystopian agenda and creating a Better Way for all. We do this by establishing autonomous councils, empowering communities, and educating men, women, and children so they know their rights and confidently take responsibility for their own health. With the intended expansion of WHO control over public health responses at the next World Health Assembly meeting in May 2024, our work is more critical than ever. We are not funded by Big Pharma or billionaires—we are supported by ordinary people like you. So, once again, a heartfelt thank you for your support. We have gone from a seed to a sapling, and with your continued nourishment we will become a very strong tree. Please consider gifting to the World Council for Health this season under the link below, and have a peaceful and joy-filled family time!

JOSHUA’s full speech for UNESCO x SEVENTEEN: Celebrating Youth, Creativity and Well-Being Together #조슈아 🦌: im joshua, and im honored to speak today on behalf of the 13 members of seventeen. 🦌: before anything else, i want to share that all our members truly wish they could be here today. they r sending all their love & support to everyone in this room. 🦌: today marks seventeen’s 3rd visit to unesco headquarters, a place that is always meaningful to us. from the vibrant energy of the 2023 youth forum, where we celebrated youth solidarity, to the profound honor of our 2024 appointment as unesco goodwill ambassadors for youth, every moment remains vivid in our memories. 🦌: upon our appointment, we shared with unesco a core belief: that young people should be empowered to lead change. this vision also aligns closely with the un youth 2030 strategy, wc aims to ensure that all young people, in all their diversities, are empowered as equal partners, leaders, & rights holders. driven by this conviction, seventeen proudly committed to launching a global youth grant scheme entitled “going together: for youth creativity and well-being”. this initiative was designed to provide young people wt resources, mentorship, & platforms to turn their ideas into meaningful actions. deeply moved by their passion & creativity, we knew we couldnt stop there. we expanded our commitment to help scale these efforts & support an even greater impact. 🦌: supporting this journey has been deeply valuable to all of us. we are incredibly proud of everything they have accomplished. pls join me in a warm round of applause for all the young leaders who made these achievements possible, both here wt us in person & joining us online from around the world. 🦌: beyond the numbers, what really matters r the stories. we have seen young people use music and dance for healing, art for mental well-being, & sports to build confidence. they are transforming their communities in ways we never imagined. 🦌: two things amaze us most. first, no project was done by just one person. they came together, joined forces, and made it happen as a team. second, they did not need someone to tell them what to do bc they are the ones who know the challenges of their communities best. they were the ones who found the best solutions. 🦌: together, these experiences showed us that young people already have the answers to change the world. they just need someone to believe in them. at the same time, we know that creating change is never easy. it comes wt moments of doubt, immense pressure, & sleepless nights. for seventeen, that journey feels deeply familiar. 🦌: as 13 individuals sharing one dream for over a decade, we faced our own uncertainties, having to reinvent ourselves, embrace challenges, & push beyond our limits. thru those experiences, we learned that growth is never achieved alone. it thrives on trust & the belief that we are stronger together. yet moving as one team has never meant walking the exact same path. thru our unit & individual endeavors, each of us grows in our own way, making seventeen more complete as a whole. 🦌: it is for this very reason that we have promised to move forward as one team. we see this beautiful dynamic reflected in your work as well. across diff countries & cultures, each of u is pursuing a unique path. while ur projects address diff challenges, together, u r creating a better world for us all. so lets keep going together! 🦌: thru the journey of the global youth grant scheme, we realized that there are dreams everywhere. i think they just need a gentle nudge, a small voice that says, “we believe in you.” we want to be that small voice.

الاحتلال خطط مسبقًا لمحو النسل الفلسطيني ووقف النمو السكاني، واستغل الحرب لتنفيذ هذا المخطط... أكثر من 17,000 طفل وأكثر من 9,000 امرأة قُتلوا، وقتل الأطفال مستمر بطرق مباشرة وغير مباشرة، بما فيها منع حليب الأطفال والأدوية والمكملات الغذائية... انخفاض بنسبة 41% في عدد الولادات مقارنة بعام 2022، مع تسجيل 2,400 حالة إجهاض، وولادة أكثر من 120 طفلًا مشوهين، بعضهم بدون دماغ أو رئة... 50% فقط من المواليد الجدد وُلدوا طبيعيًا، والباقي إما توفوا أو لديهم تشوهات خلقية... الاحتلال دمّر مستشفيات الولادة ومنع وصول حمض الفوليك والحديد، ما أدى إلى تشوهات وموت الأجنة... الحرب خلفت تغييرًا جينيًا في الأطفال وفق تقرير أممي، وهو مؤشر خطير على الإبادة البطيئة... المجتمع الدولي صامت رغم الأرقام الصادمة، ونحن نطالب بتحقيقات دولية عاجلة في نوعية الأسلحة المستخدمة... المطلوب تحرك عالمي لحماية الأمهات والأطفال الفلسطينيين من الإبادة، وتوفير الحماية الكاملة للنظام الصحي في غزة The occupation had premeditated plans to erase the Palestinian lineage and halt population growth, using the war as an opportunity to implement this agenda... Over 17,000 children and more than 9,000 women have been killed, with the killing of children continuing through both direct and indirect means, including the denial of baby formula, essential medicines, and nutritional supplements... Births have dropped by 41% compared to 2022, with 2,400 recorded miscarriages and over 120 babies born with deformities—some without brains or lungs... Only 50% of newborns were delivered healthy; the rest either died or suffered congenital defects... The occupation destroyed maternity hospitals and blocked access to folic acid and iron, causing fetal deformities and deaths... According to a UN report, the war has caused genetic alterations in children—an alarming sign of slow genocide... Despite these shocking numbers, the international community remains silent. We urgently call for international investigations into the types of weapons used... A global effort is needed to protect Palestinian mothers and children from extermination and to ensure full protection of Gaza's healthcare system.

Uranus is all over the timeline. Full credit to the creativity, ambition and resourcefulness of the uranus community. It’s very early days yet, but we are very impressed by those that took to heart the mantra that “you are responsible for uranus”. Over the last month, the Uranus community has been relentlessly pounding away at uranus with shitposts, jokes, raids, IRL posters, banners, billboards outside Tesla HQs, etc. Rain or shine, irrespective of market conditions, amidst speculation and FUD, they showed up every day for uranus. And of course, yesterday, the community demonstrated the appeal of uranus as a timeless, instantly recognizable and extremely relatable joke by putting uranus in the New York City sky for all to see. We believe uranus can go mainstream. The pent up potential of uranus was partially released today thanks to the hard work of the community which displayed creativity, resourcefulness and agency. We are confident that this is only the start and there is far more gas in the tank to propel uranus to new heights. And this is exactly what we wanted to see when we first started Jup Studio. Both the grit and the ambition. Grit - because when it wasn’t clear where the bottom was, the community didn’t bend over. They didn’t beg someone else to save uranus. They rallied around uranus and kept going. Ambition - because it’s clear the community thinks that uranus is bigger than the trenches. The audience for uranus is global. We can get mindshare and attention on uranus that goes beyond a trencher trying to flip uranus in ten seconds. Hell, we have TikTok videos of uranus now that are far longer than the average Solana trader hold time. Further, instead of latching onto mainstream trends and making them into a coin, the community is attempting to take a timeless joke and make it mainstream instead. And if the community can get uranus into the mainstream consciousness and get enough new people to have a stake in uranus, we have a shot at getting enough escape velocity to escape the usual negative sum games. It is of course not just uranus, the entire studio community has been plugging away, bagworking, creatively creating content, and tirelessly recruiting allies. It is a pleasure to be working alongside them, and we look forward to the emergence of many more creators, coins and communities. At Studio, we are focused on helping to realize 1. the potential of projects to have mainstream appeal; 2. the potential of the community to become one of the best communities globally; and 3. the potential of Studio itself to be the best platform for creating sustainable monies and non-zero sum games. We’ve always maintained that studio isn’t a launchpad, it’s a platform for sustainable money creation. Its a tool to empower and to give agency to communities and creators. And while this vision will become more apparent in the coming weeks and months, we have to say that based on our metrics, uranus is looking good here.

Should the global tech community continue investing in Malaysia? Given recent events, I raise this question respectfully for the consideration of Prime Minister Yang Amat Berhormat Dato’ Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim (Anwar Ibrahim), for the people of Malaysia, and for our friends in the Malaysian tech community. The answer will be of interest to anyone in global tech that’s considering building, investing, or expanding in Malaysia, including executives at Google, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft, founders of tech unicorns like Coinbase and Solana, and investors at the world’s largest venture capital funds like a16z and Polychain. As context, I am the former CTO of Coinbase and former General Partner at a16z. In October 2024, I opened a startup society called Network School in Malaysia, because I felt I’d been invited in by the government’s pro-tech policies. Specifically, the KL20 initiative set out Malaysia’s ambition of becoming a top 20 global tech hub. Their MDEC digital nomad visas and MM2H investor visas were created to facilitate an influx of global talent and capital. And the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone was announced to facilitate the flow of capital and talent between Malaysia and Singapore, where I live. When taken in combination with Malaysia’s datacenter buildout and its policy of welcoming visa-free visits for 98% of the world, it seemed like Malaysia might be a great place to build a global tech hub that was simultaneously inexpensive and easy to visit (especially for non-Westerners). And that’s what we did, by creating Network School. It’s an international tech community with its first node in Forest City, Malaysia. We picked Forest City because it had millions of square feet of empty space, because it was one hour from Singapore’s capital markets, and because it was within the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone. Then, within 18 months, without a single penny of government money, we built Network School into a global attraction that brought thousands of engineers, investors, and builders from 70+ countries to learn technology, burn calories, earn online, and have fun, integrating with the local Malaysian economy along the way. Indeed, in terms of quantifiable contribution to the Malaysian economy, we’ve already invested 100M+ MYR in our campus to make it startup-friendly. For perspective, that’s about 4% of the budget of Johor, the Malaysian state where Forest City is located. We employ dozens of Malaysians directly and indirectly at every level from executive to staff. We’ve backed Malaysian tech startups like Collektr, hosted events for local teams like Superteam Malaysia, and are major customers of many local businesses like barbers, laundromats, and restaurants. We’ve also revitalized the multibillion-dollar Forest City project, causing millions of MYR in real estate appreciation. And, as the video below describes, we were on the cusp of a 500M+ MYR expansion to grow our community, as well as a global merit scholarship with my friend Amjad Masad of Replit. However, that emerging multi-billion dollar success story — which should rightfully have been hailed as a huge victory for the pro-tech policies of the Malaysian government — is at risk of being derailed by a fake story spread by an anonymous account named MP4P. In short: on the day before the July 11 Johor elections, MP4P posted an Instagram post falsely accusing Network School of harboring illegal aliens. The sensational accusations caused a tizzy in Malaysia, until Malaysian authorities came to our campus on July 14 to investigate. (I should note that the officers were very polite and professional.) After checking hundreds of physical passports from 40 countries, including dual passport holders, the authorities confirmed to the press on July 15 that all travel documents were in order. During the process, we cooperated fully; in the thread below you can see a photo of the men, women, and children of Network School smiling and holding up their passports in the bright daylight. Our faces are shown and our names are known; we have nothing to hide. With that said, the process is the punishment. What MP4P did is very similar to the American crime of “swatting”, because MP4P created a hoax report of a serious threat, thereby forcing the Malaysian police to take time away from protecting the Malaysian people towards investigating a nonexistent issue. Moreover, this anonymous MP4P account has also called for Malaysia to boycott Apple, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft…a move that would cost ordinary Malaysians thousands of jobs…even while MP4P’s own Instagram collaborators promote their Apple and Google apps! I mean, we aren’t talking about a credible accuser, but just someone screaming inconsistently at the top of their lungs on social media for traffic, an all-too-common phenomenon these days. Anyway, at this point, all further investment we were planning to make in Malaysia is on hold until we get sufficient assurance that such issues won’t recur. So are the investment plans of many of our friends, including the execs and investors at global tech firms that we brought to Forest City. Because to put it very plainly: we have invested 100M+ MYR in Malaysia, while creating jobs for dozens of Malaysians, and our faces and names are known. Our Malaysian executives and employees deserve the benefit of the doubt over anonymous internet trolls. There are two paths forward. In the first case, if Malaysia still wants continued global tech investment, if it wants to be a top 20 tech hub, if it wants us to revitalize Forest City, then we request an audience with the Prime Minister’s office to discuss the terms of a memorandum of understanding between Network School and the Malaysian government, similar to the document recently signed between the Solana Foundation and the Kazakhstan government. Specifics can of course be discussed, but we would publicly commit to abiding by all Malaysian laws (we already do) and respecting Malaysia’s sovereignty (never in question). In return, they’d get to know our friendly community, and realize that we actually chose Malaysia because we thought it was a great place to build a tech hub where engineers from the global South, investors from the West, and builders from Malaysia itself could meet new people, build cool things, and perhaps create millions of dollars in economic growth in the fullness of time. That vision of peace and trade, internationalism and entrepreneurialism, is still on the table. We aren’t asking for any money — just a meeting, to help restore confidence in Malaysia as an investable jurisdiction. Alternatively, if you don’t want our investment, or those of our colleagues at billion dollar funds and trillion dollar companies, we will of course respect your wishes, and reallocate our capital to other countries instead. Either way, we will remain friends and abide by your decision. Please let us know.

Speech for Thailand GCV Industry Alliance Conference September 14, 2025 – Vayupak Grand Ballroom, Bangkok Dear Thailand GCV Ambassadors, esteemed merchants, and dedicated pioneers, It is an absolute honor to be here today at the Merchant Alliance Thailand Conference. Thank you all for welcoming me. It is a tremendous privilege to stand before such passionate leaders, merchants, and ambassadors who are shaping the future of the GCV movement in Thailand. Since Ms. Rung Arun Maneechot began her journey as Head GCV Ambassador on April 10, we have witnessed truly remarkable milestones. From achieving millions in GCV data to establishing ambassadors across 74 regions, your efforts have laid a strong foundation for the growth of GCV in Thailand. I want to sincerely commend every one of you ambassadors, merchants, and pioneers for your dedication, seriousness, and commitment. The results we see today are a direct reflection of your hard work, discipline, and willingness to take action. You have proven that we are not just building an idea; we are creating a living, thriving ecosystem. Acknowledging Our Leadership Team Let me recognize our outstanding leadership team: Ms. Rung Arun Maneechot, our Head GCV Ambassador, has led with vision and determination. She has coordinated and guided Regional Ambassadors, set clear goals, monitored progress, provided support, and ensured the successful propagation of GCV initiatives throughout Thailand. Her dedication to high productivity, engagement, and collaboration has inspired every member of the ecosystem. Mr. Banjong Wongnarong, our GCV Education Ambassador, thank you for educating and empowering the community. Mr. Phupanthong Chishomphu, our Ecosystem Development Ambassador, has been relentless in expanding our merchant network. Thailand’s Role in the International Industry Alliance As the Chair of the International Industry Alliance, I am especially proud to see Thailand represented by Ms. Wantana Intrachaeng as Chair and Mr. Apiwit Noknakorn as Vice Chair. Their role is not only to connect Thai businesses across industries within the country but also to identify opportunities to export products internationally. Their leadership in linking Thai businesses to the global GCV network will be a significant achievement. Under their guidance, Thailand will become a shining example of how real businesses can embrace Pi and strengthen the ecosystem. Merchants & Pioneers – The Heartbeat of GCV To all our merchants and pioneers: you are the heartbeat of this movement. Your engagement, creativity, and active participation transform a concept into a thriving reality. By connecting real businesses to Pi, you are helping us create a self-sustaining economy that demonstrates the tangible value of GCV. Global Context & Adoption Examples Across the world, the International Industry Alliance is growing rapidly. In China, Yiwu has 5,000 factories producing over 1,000 products, all ready to export using partial Pi payment and fiat, and Mr. Jiao’s auto-parts business is also integrated and ready for export proof of China’s real-world adoption of Pi. In Vietnam, a major rice exporter is now accepting Pi for trade, marking real-world adoption in agriculture. In the Arab region, seven companies have joined the alliance. And this is just the beginning. Soon, we will see many more companies globally accepting Pi, supporting GCV, and helping us build a new value chain. Businesses can use Pi within the ecosystem or exchange it for goods and services, creating a self-sustaining Pi economy. Our ultimate goal is for businesses worldwide to accept Pi, giving the world a clear reason to recognize and respect GCV, because real businesses are using Pi in commerce and trade. Thailand as a Global Example Thailand is already setting a standard for the world. The work you have done in training, onboarding, and implementing strategies shows that real businesses can successfully integrate Pi. This conference is not only a celebration of achievements but also a call to action: let us continue to innovate, expand, and collaborate; support fellow ambassadors; empower merchants; and grow the GCV network in Thailand and beyond. Every Pi transaction, every merchant recruited, every ambassador trained brings us closer to a self-sustaining, thriving ecosystem. Each one of you here represents a cornerstone of Thailand’s GCV movement. Merchants are the foundation of our ecosystem they drive commerce while building trust, reputation, and engagement at the local level. Ambassadors are the bridge between vision and reality—they guide, inspire, and ensure the GCV mission is embraced and enacted. Thailand is uniquely positioned to be a beacon for GCV across Asia. By uniting our efforts, focusing on community-driven growth, and fostering collaboration among ambassadors and merchants, we can accelerate the adoption of GCV solutions, create sustainable impact, and strengthen the foundation of this global movement. Let today serve as a reminder that every action matters. Every conversation, every partnership, and every effort to educate and empower strengthens the GCV movement—not just in Thailand, but around the world. Together, we are building an ecosystem that thrives on integrity, innovation, and inclusivity. As we move forward, let us carry the spirit of dedication, unity, and optimism. Let us continue to support and guide one another, celebrating every achievement along the way. Thailand has the talent, the vision, and the heart to lead by example. I am confident that with your unwavering commitment and collaborative spirit, the Thailand GCV Industry Alliance will not only meet but exceed its goals, creating a lasting impact for our communities, merchants, and the global GCV family. Thank you to everyone who has contributed, especially our leadership team and all the merchants supporting GCV. Let us continue working together, innovating, and expanding the reach of GCV, building a strong, united, and thriving Thailand and a world where Pi and GCV are recognized, respected, and valued everywhere.

ما يحدث في غزة خارج عن المعقول والتصور الإنساني… ما يجري أكبر من الإبادة الجماعية والتطهير العرقي، وهو ما دفع خبراء الأمم المتحدة والمؤسسات الدولية لاستخدام مصطلح جديد هو “الإبادة الصحية – هيلثوسايد”… القتل هنا لا يقتصر على القصف بل يشمل حرمان الناس من الحق في الحياة والعلاج، واستهداف كل مكونات الصحة… سجلت وزارة الصحة أكثر من 61,000 شهيد، بينهم 18,592 طفل، وأكثر من 4,800 مبتور بينهم نحو 1,000 طفل، و154,000 جريح منهم 18,000 بحاجة لتأهيل… فقدنا أكثر من 9,300 امرأة، وأُبيدت أكثر من 2,600 عائلة بالكامل… الاحتلال قتل أكثر من 1,590 من الكوادر الطبية، بينهم أكثر من 200 طبيب من التخصصات النادرة، ودمر المعالم الثقافية والأثرية… ما يجري يجب أن يُوثق كسجل عار على الاحتلال الإسرائيلي… الأمم المتحدة تمتنع عن إعلان المجاعة رغم وضوح المؤشرات وتحقق أغلبها باستثناء معيار نسبة الوفيات (2 لكل 10,000 يوميًا)، وهو شرط من غير المنطقي تطبيقه في حالة سياسة تجويع ممنهجة وليست مجاعة طبيعية… إعلان المجاعة كان سيُلزم المجتمع الدولي قانونيًا وأخلاقيًا بالتدخل العاجل، لكن القوى الكبرى تتجنب ذلك بدوافع سياسية بحتة لا تمت للإنسانية بصلة. What is happening in Gaza is beyond reason and human comprehension… What is taking place is greater than genocide and ethnic cleansing, prompting UN experts and international institutions to adopt a new term: “Healthocide”… Here, killing is not limited to direct bombardment but includes depriving people of their right to life and treatment, targeting all components of healthcare… The Ministry of Health has recorded more than 61,000 martyrs, including 18,592 children, over 4,800 amputees, around 1,000 of them children, and 154,000 wounded, of whom 18,000 require rehabilitation… We have lost more than 9,300 women, and more than 2,600 families have been completely wiped out… The occupation has killed over 1,590 medical personnel, including more than 200 doctors from rare specialties, and destroyed cultural and archaeological landmarks… What is happening must be documented as a record of shame against the Israeli occupation… The United Nations refrains from declaring famine despite the clear indicators and the fulfillment of most criteria, except for the mortality rate threshold (2 per 10,000 per day), a condition that is illogical to apply in the case of an engineered starvation policy rather than a natural famine… Declaring famine would have legally and morally obligated the international community to intervene urgently, but major powers avoid doing so for purely political reasons that have nothing to do with humanity.

As we celebrate and reflect on Africa Day today, it is important to qualify the intervention by South Africa’s Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Ronald Lamola. What he says is correct, the issue of immigration in South Africa is indeed a crisis, and instead of focusing on peripheral issues, attention should be directed at the root causes, the push factors driving African migrants from countries such as Zimbabwe and Mozambique into South Africa, both legally and illegally. The fact of the matter is that we all know what the problem is: misgovernance. And the African National Congress, which has governed South Africa since 1994, is fully aware of this reality. Yet it has continued politically supporting the regimes in the region that have contributed to creating this crisis inside South Africa itself. We all know that ZANUPF rigs elections. We all know that it presides over a deeply corrupt system. We also know that some within the ANC benefit politically and materially from relationships with ZANUPF. So while Minister Lamola’s comments sound correct in principle, many people across the region have become sceptical because statements are repeatedly made, yet very little changes in practice. As we saw during the recent Southern African Development Community (SADC) foreign ministers’ meeting held in South Africa, Zimbabwe’s Foreign Minister, Dr Amon Murwira, was effectively in denial, insisting there is no immigration crisis affecting Southern Africa or South Africa. As long as leaders continue issuing statements without confronting the underlying governance failures driving migration, this crisis will persist. This is fundamentally a crisis of failed leadership. That is why other parts of Africa, and indeed other regions of the world, often look at Southern Africa with disbelief. We know what the problem is, and we know what needs to be done, yet we refuse to act. Worse still, regional leaders continue defending and embracing the very political systems that are producing the collapse, namely ZANUPF in Zimbabwe and FRELIMO in Mozambique, even after disputed elections, corruption scandals, and institutional decay. It is not rocket science why Zimbabweans cross into South Africa to seek medical treatment. It is not rocket science why a significant number of women giving birth at Musina Hospital are Zimbabwean. It is because Zimbabwe’s public healthcare system has collapsed under corruption and decades of misgovernance. Zimbabwe’s largest public hospital still relies on a single maternity theatre built in 1977. The country’s public health sector has, for years, lacked a functioning radiotherapy cancer treatment machine for the entire nation. Under such conditions, desperate citizens will inevitably cross borders, legally and illegally, in search of survival and dignity. Tragically, it is ordinary poor Africans who now become pawns in political battles. Politicians exploit immigration to whip up emotions and win votes, while many of those same political actors continue protecting, legitimising, and enabling the governance failures that created the migration crisis in the first place. The Southern African Development Community (SADC) issued a scathing report on Zimbabwe’s 2023 election. Yet the first president to go and celebrate that disputed victory was South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. It therefore does not make sense for South Africa’s Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Ronald Lamola, to correctly speak about the root causes of the immigration crisis while his own government continues supporting and legitimising the very systems creating those root causes. After the SADC report was released, the Secretary-General of the African National Congress openly declared “Viva Mnangagwa.” That kind of duplicitous behaviour does not build confidence among citizens in South Africa or across Southern Africa.

Josep Borrell accuses Israel of the largest ethnic cleansing operation since WWII for it's actions against the Palestinians "We all know what happens there and we all hear statements from Netanyahu's ministers that are clear statements of genocidal intent" "Rarely have I heard a responsible state official express so openly a plan that meets the legal definition of genocide" "You can die by being shot in the back of the head, you can die in a gas chamber, you can also die of starvation" "And in any case, it is about the will to exterminate a people" "We are facing the biggest operation of ethnic cleansing since the end of the Second World War" "To create a splendid holiday resort once the million tons of rubble have been removed from Gaza and the Palestinians have left or have died" "One horror does not justify another horror" "I have said it many times. The horror of ever does not justify the horror of Israel's response" "Europe has the capacity and the means to not only protest, but to influence behaviour, and it does not do so" "We supply half of the bombs that fall on Gaza" "And if we really believe that there are too many dead, the natural response would be to supply fewer weapons and to use the Lever of the Association Agreement to demand that international humanitarian law be respected and not just lament that it is not being done" "We all condemned this terrorist attack by Hamas and proclaimed Israel's right to defend itself" "But the right to defence, like all rights, has its limits" "It has the limits of international law and international humanitarian law" "And in its response, Israel has violated all these rules, systematically using the starvation of the civilian population as a weapon of war and by bombing more than 50,000 dead among the population of Gaza, among them mostly women and children" "An explosive power equivalent to three times the Hiroshima bomb has been dropped on Gaza" "And for months nothing has been entering Gaza" "Nothing" "No water, no food, no electricity, no fuel, no medical services" - "And the shocks we suffer have two names" "Their names are Putin and Trump" "Two characters who, each in their own way, represent the old imperialism of the 19th century, which we know well because we have been its protagonists" "As I said before, one is much more intelligent, cunning and crafty than the other, although the other does not know it" "And that has consequences for everyone" - "What is peace?" "First and foremost, it is the peaceful coexistence between different people the coexistence between humans who for a moment think that it is better to cooperate than to fight" "And that, for example, today in the Middle East, means the ability of Palestinians and Israelis to live each in dignity and freedom, each with their own state" "Peace is the ability to face together global challenges" - "Today, on the contrary, war has returned to our borders and Trump is back in the White House" "Our time is no longer defined by peace, democracy, open trade and liberalism but by conflict, populism, protectionism and war" - "And today, for Europeans, the big issue is no longer the war between us" "And we do not sufficiently appreciate this extraordinary result" "Against our background, to have achieved 70 or 80 years of peace was an historic result which alone would justify the European Union" "The European Union has been a peace project and must remain so" "And even if we now talk a lot about rearmament, must remain a peace project conceived not for the relationship between us, but for the relationship with the rest of the world" - "Europe is the place in the world where humanity has built the best combination of political freedom, economic prosperity and social cohesion" "And today more than ever we can say that Europe is the land of the free" "When in the US people start to be afraid to speak out, Europe is more than ever the land of the free" - "It is the land of relative economic prosperity, but greater than elsewhere, which is accompanied by an effort of social cohesion so that no one is left to their own devices, so that the health of your neighbour is also a problem for you" "But not a theoretical problem, but a problem that is solved with fiscal transfers that make things that are not provided by the market, but that are human rights" "But rights are not free" "Rights are paid for, and they are paid for with taxes, paid for with collective effort" "This is what characterises Europe" "We pay more taxes than in other parts of the world" "This is the price of cohesion" "Cohesion is the price of security, and security is the way to guarantee freedom"
