President Xi Jinping has always emphasized the importance of protecting and promoting #intangibleculturalheritage. Following in his footsteps, let's explore the outstanding Chinese intangible cultural heritage. (8) #XiJinping #CulturalChinaWithXi On Feb 1, 2024, just before #SpringFestival that year, Xi visited Tianjin's Ancient Culture Street, which is lined with shops featuring many time-honored brands. He visited several specialty shops such as Guifaxiang 18th Street Mahua, Nut Products Zhang, Clay Figure Zhang and Yangliuqing New Year Paintings. After learning in detail about the clay figurine-making process at the shop of Clay Figure Zhang, whose craftsmanship has a history of about 200 years, Xi noted that the spirit of craftsmanship, passed down through generations, ensures the continuation of China's cultural heritage. The tradition of Yangliuqing woodblock New Year paintings dates back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). At its shop, Xi said that the "Abundance Year After Year" painting carries people's yearning for a better life. At a food store selling the crisp and aromatic Guifaxiang 18th Street Mahua (fried dough twists), Xi bought several boxes of mahua and other pastries and gifted two of them to a young boy standing beside him, wishing him a happy Chinese New Year. Xi emphasized that Chinese modernization cannot be separated from the inheritance and promotion of the nation's outstanding traditional culture. Calling #Tianjin a city with great characteristics and charm, he urged efforts to protect and make good use of its historic and cultural zones to make them shine in the development of a modern metropolis.

President Xi Jinping has always emphasized the importance of protecting and promoting #intangibleculturalheritage. Following in his footsteps, let's explore the outstanding Chinese intangible cultural heritage. (9) #XiJinping #CulturalChinaWithXi On April 11, 2022, Xi paused to admire a Li brocade display during his visit to Maona village in #Hainan province. There, he met a 7-year-old boy who spent his after-school hours learning Li brocade techniques from his grandmother, a recognized inheritor of the ancient craft. Boasting a history spanning over 3,000 years, Li brocade is a traditional craft of the Li ethnic group in Hainan. When asked about his aspirations, the boy said, "I want to be like my grandma." "Very good!" Xi responded. "Intangible cultural heritage, the craftsmanship of the Chinese nation, is both traditional and stylish." In December 2024, Li brocade techniques were inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Putin arrives in Beijing to ask Xi for money and a new gas pipeline Talks between Putin and Xi Jinping have begun in Beijing. One of the key topics is “Power of Siberia 2” — a pipeline through which Russia wants to redirect gas to China that was originally intended for Europe. Putin said that relations between Moscow and Beijing have reached an “unprecedented level,” and that trade turnover has grown more than 30 times over the past 25 years. Xi, in turn, spoke about a “fair world order” and joint efforts to counter instability and hegemony. The visit comes shortly after China and the United States agreed to ease tensions following their trade war. Against this backdrop, Moscow is increasingly trying to present its alliance with Beijing as its main foreign policy pillar after the invasion of Ukraine.

SAVE DWARKA (DELHI) FOREST : 120-acre LAND HOME TO SEVERAL SPECIES IS ENDANGERED. NEED TO ADOPT SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT APPROACH | The DWARKA FOREST of DELHI is home to several species of both flora and fauna. Wildlife includes 65 bird species, 50 antelope (Nilgai) and many other animals flourish in the forest. This forest is close to the SAHIBI RIVER. Although it is a newly developed forest (circa 2008 onwards), it falls in the migratory route of birds visiting the Great Najafgarh Lake. The 120-acre land was acquired by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) in the 1960s and then by the Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) around 2008. In 2021, RLDA launched its Bijwasan Railway Redevelopment Project. During the above project, RLDA contractors instead of cutting or planting trees, buried them alive in the soil. They had no valid permission to do so until 2024. The forest department had imposed a fine of Rs 5.93 crore on RLDA for illegal felling of 990 trees in the area in 2022. Cutting trees in the city requires permission from the forest department under the Delhi Preservation of Trees Act, 1994. However, if an area is a protected forest or deemed forest, permission is also required under the Forest Conservation Act, 2023. After the fine was imposed and paid by RLDA in 2022, RLDA again started cutting trees and burying them alive. In February 2024, the National Green Tribunal found that the land on which the Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) is constructing the Bijwasan Rail Terminal station in Dwarka is not a protected forest or deemed forest area. The tribunal has disposed of the plea which said the terminal was being built on "Protected" forest land. This allowed the project to proceed. The tribunal also observed that the Forest Conservation Act, 2023, which was recently amended, no longer covers deemed forests. "Ecology is the permanent economy" We need to protect our flora and fauna and adopt a sustainable development approach. #SaveDwarkaForest #Delhi #Heatwave #climateaction #sustainability #UNEP #BreakingNews‌ #Environment #India

Deep in the woodlands of northern Tanzania, a foreign visitor follows Chabba, a member of the Hadza, through the ancestral lands his people have called home for countless generations, moving along hidden paths known only to experienced hunters and gatherers as he points out edible plants, animal tracks, medicinal trees, and survival techniques passed down through centuries of oral tradition, turning an ordinary walk into a rare journey through one of the last remaining hunter-gatherer cultures on Earth, where every tree, footprint, and sound in the forest carries meaning, revealing a deep relationship with nature that continues to shape Hadza life in ways largely unchanged by the modern world.

🇨🇳 XI JINPING (2021): "Back then, in the face of the armed threats and provocations of United States imperialism, which had the greatest economic strength and military power in the world, Comrade Mao Zedong said that it was one of the most difficult decisions he had to make in his life to decide whether or not to send his troops to fight in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. With the strategic foresight of “one punch is enough to prevent a hundred punches from being thrown”, and with the determination and courage of “rebuilding the country at all costs”, the Central Committee of the CPC and Comrade Mao Zedong made the historic decision to fight against the United States and help the DPRK to defend its country, thus averting the dangerous situation in which the aggressors had set up their troops at the country's gates and safeguarding the security of the new China. The new China's security was defended. At the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s, with the dramatic changes in Eastern Europe, the collapse of the Soviet Communist Party and the disintegration of the USSR, world socialism suffered serious twists and turns, and the serious political turmoil of the spring and summer of 1989 occurred in our country as well. Relying closely on the people, the Party took decisive measures to win this struggle for the survival of the Party and the country, and withstood the pressure of the so-called “sanctions” imposed by the West, thus ensuring that socialism with Chinese characteristics was on the right course and that reform and development were heading in the right direction. Comrade Deng Xiaoping said, “As long as Chinese socialism does not fall, socialism will always stand in the world.” I have also said that if the leadership of the CPC and our socialist system also collapsed in that domino change, or failed for other reasons, then the practice of socialism might have to languish in darkness for a long time, and the process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation would inevitably be interrupted."

Baka Women Transform River Water Into Rhythm in Ancient Drumming Tradition. Deep in the rainforests of Central Africa, music is not limited to instruments made of wood or metal. For the women of the Baka people, the river itself becomes an instrument. Among the Baka, who live primarily in the forests of Cameroon, Gabon, and the Republic of the Congo, women practice a remarkable musical tradition known as water drumming. Standing waist-deep in a river or stream, they rhythmically strike the surface of the water with their hands, creating sharp, resonant sounds that echo through the forest. By carefully controlling the angle of their palms and the force of each strike, the women produce different tones—deep thuds, crisp slaps, and splashes that blend into intricate rhythms. When performed together, these sounds form complex musical patterns that accompany singing, celebration, and communal gatherings. This tradition is not just entertainment. It reflects the deep relationship between the Baka people and the forest environment that sustains them. Rivers, trees, animals, and the natural world are central to their culture, spirituality, and daily life. Transforming water into music demonstrates a creative harmony with nature that has been passed down through generations. Water drumming also highlights the important cultural role of women in Baka society. Through song, rhythm, and performance, they preserve stories, traditions, and collective identity.

Dear all, It has been nearly a year since Forest embarked on our journey with Hanbin. Throughout this time, we have witnessed an overwhelming number of rumors and insults targeted at Hanbin, along with malicious speculations about his every word and action. This animosity has even escalated into organized and premeditated anti-actions. Initially, we believed that tolerance might lead to peace, but reality has repeatedly let us down. Concessions have not yielded positive outcomes; instead, the company's inaction and our passive compliance have unintentionally emboldened the rumor mongers. Forest has come to realize that mere tolerance cannot resolve these issues. After consulting with various parties, Forest, in collaboration with some dedicated fans, has prepared a protest-truck campaign. To ensure a smooth execution within the limited timeframe, we apologize for not making a prior public announcement. This marks only the first step of our transformative journey. Following discussions within the Forest management team, it has been decided that we will confront such situations with a firm and resolute approach in the future. Regardless of the outcome, Forest and C-allindans will continue to be unwavering pillars of support for Hanbin. While we acknowledge that the trucks may not yield immediate satisfactory results, we aim to convey our unwavering attitude and stance to everyone: - Hanbin has devoted significant efforts to the team. - Since his debut, he has endured organized and malicious rumors and anti-actions. - The company, however, has turned a blind eye and used the artist as a shield! - We demand updates from WK1 regarding the progress of the public lawsuit against haters. - WK1 must take action to protect their artist, Hanbin. Every decision made by Forest is and will always be rooted in our fundamental position of supporting Hanbin.

Had a wonderful chance to visit a beautiful hidden gem in the heart of Coimbatore ! The Gass Forest Museum, one of India’s most remarkable heritage museums, a living chronicle of Tamil Nadu’s natural history standing proudly for over 120 years. Imagine stepping into a century-old British-Gothic red-stone building that once housed the dreams of Horace Archibald Gass, a passionate forest conservator who, in 1902, began assembling a collection to tell the story of forests and wildlife. Once just a corner of a forest office, his collection grew into thousands of artifacts, lovingly preserved from life-sized taxidermy of majestic Indian wildlife like a huge Indian bison (gaur) presented by royalty, to elegant birds and leopards, a timber library with hundreds of wood species, over 1,000 dazzling insects and butterflies, a preserved baby elephant fetus and full elephant skeleton, tribal tools and hunting weapons. The collection is simply breathtaking. Must visit #GassForestMuseum #Coimbatore #hiddentreasure

Fellow Africans, In a world filled with countless leaders, only a rare few rise to embody the very soul of their people. Even fewer transcend borders to become symbols of hope, resilience, and inspiration for an entire continent. His Excellency, the Right Honourable The Raila Odinga Amolo Foundation is one such figure. A man whose journey mirrors the struggles and triumphs of Africa itself. Today, I present him for your most serious consideration as the next Chairperson of the African Union Commission (AUC), a role for which he is uniquely and undeniably qualified. I am Kasmuel McOure, a young revolutionary who has stood at the forefront of Kenya’s struggle against oppression, corruption, and the erosion of good governance. I belong to a generation profoundly inspired by Raila Odinga’s unwavering fight for justice. His legacy is a powerful testament to resilience, vision, and the relentless pursuit of democratic values. Raila Odinga’s name is inseparable from the story of Kenya’s democratic evolution. He was instrumental in dismantling a 24-year dictatorship under Daniel arap Moi, championing the transition to a multiparty democracy, and crafting a constitution that secured the rule of law for generations to come. His leadership, forged in personal sacrifice, redefined the course of our nation. Even at great personal and political cost, Raila Odinga stood firm. When chaos threatened to tear our nation apart, he chose dialogue over destruction, constitutionalism over ambition; an extraordinary act of statesmanship in an age that too often celebrates self-interest. But Raila Odinga’s influence reaches far beyond Kenya. He is a Pan-African visionary, an Afro-Optimist who deeply understands the intricate fabric of Africa’s struggles and possibilities. He is a beacon of hope who has dared to challenge injustice and lead with unwavering integrity, even in the face of overwhelming odds. He envisions a continent where trade routes are open, civil unrest is quelled, and Africa reclaims her sovereignty from the chains of foreign exploitation. This vision is not a mere ideal; it is a lifelong commitment, one that has been consistently reflected in his actions and principles. A vision that resonates from the savannahs of the Mara to the shores of Cape Town, from the markets of Lagos to the streets of Addis Ababa. Kenya, with its vibrant online sphere and culture of debate, owes much of its freedoms to Raila’s sacrifices. He fought tirelessly to enshrine the right to free expression and political participation in our constitution. Though he remains a figure both praised and criticized, this duality speaks to his humanity—imperfect, yet unwavering in his pursuit of progress. I speak from personal experience, having been both an ally and a critic. Yet in every instance, I have found in him a leader who listens, mentors, and empowers. In a time when the world yearns for leaders of integrity, vision, and courage, Raila Odinga stands as an enduring beacon. He is a man whose vision for Africa is not confined to today or tomorrow, but for generations to come. A visionary leader who, against all odds, has always prioritized the people over power; an attribute Africa desperately needs at this pivotal moment. Africa needs a leader who embodies wisdom, courage, and an unwavering belief in our collective destiny. A son of the soil, forged in the fires of struggle, and ready to lead us toward a brighter, united future. Africa, I present to you your son, by way of Kenya, His Excellency, the Right Honourable Raila Amolo Odinga.

Fellow Africans, In a world filled with countless leaders, only a rare few rise to embody the very soul of their people. Even fewer transcend borders to become symbols of hope, resilience, and inspiration for an entire continent. His Excellency, the Right Honourable The Raila Odinga Amolo Foundation is one such figure. A man whose journey mirrors the struggles and triumphs of Africa itself. Today, I present him for your most serious consideration as the next Chairperson of the African Union Commission (AUC), a role for which he is uniquely and undeniably qualified. I am Kasmuel McOure, a young revolutionary who has stood at the forefront of Kenya’s struggle against oppression, corruption, and the erosion of good governance. I belong to a generation profoundly inspired by Raila Odinga’s unwavering fight for justice. His legacy is a powerful testament to resilience, vision, and the relentless pursuit of democratic values. Raila Odinga’s name is inseparable from the story of Kenya’s democratic evolution. He was instrumental in dismantling a 24-year dictatorship under Daniel arap Moi, championing the transition to a multiparty democracy, and crafting a constitution that secured the rule of law for generations to come. His leadership, forged in personal sacrifice, redefined the course of our nation. Even at great personal and political cost, Raila Odinga stood firm. When chaos threatened to tear our nation apart, he chose dialogue over destruction, constitutionalism over ambition; an extraordinary act of statesmanship in an age that too often celebrates self-interest. But Raila Odinga’s influence reaches far beyond Kenya. He is a Pan-African visionary, an Afro-Optimist who deeply understands the intricate fabric of Africa’s struggles and possibilities. He is a beacon of hope who has dared to challenge injustice and lead with unwavering integrity, even in the face of overwhelming odds. He envisions a continent where trade routes are open, civil unrest is quelled, and Africa reclaims her sovereignty from the chains of foreign exploitation. This vision is not a mere ideal; it is a lifelong commitment, one that has been consistently reflected in his actions and principles. A vision that resonates from the savannahs of the Mara to the shores of Cape Town, from the markets of Lagos to the streets of Addis Ababa. Kenya, with its vibrant online sphere and culture of debate, owes much of its freedoms to Raila’s sacrifices. He fought tirelessly to enshrine the right to free expression and political participation in our constitution. Though he remains a figure both praised and criticized, this duality speaks to his humanity—imperfect, yet unwavering in his pursuit of progress.

The Hug of a Hyena: A Warning to the Kinshasa Opposition ​Before the tragedy, there is a warm embrace; after it, nothing but crushed bones. ​There is an old, cautionary fable about a man who carried a hyena on his back wherever he went. ​Seeing this, a passerby stopped him and warned, "My friend, put that beast down. One day, that hyena will make you its lunch." The man ignored the advice and kept walking. ​A second man approached him with the exact same warning. Again, the man brushed it off, confident in his bond with the predator. ​Eventually, curiosity got the better of the man. He turned to the beast on his back and said, "Hey, my friend, people keep telling me that you are going to eat me. Is it true?" ​The hyena, at least, was brutally honest. It whispered into his ear: "You should always fear a threat that two or three men have already warned you about." ​Before the man could even process the words, it was too late. The hyena gave him no time to think, snapping its jaws shut. ​This fable perfectly illustrates the fatal mistake of forming an alliance with Félix Tshisekedi. He is political death on legs. ​It is tragic to watch the opposition in Kinshasa place their faith in a man who is ready to sell out the entire country, and himself along with it, just to retain the presidency. Having tasted the luxury of flying across the world millions of times, he has absolutely no intention of ever going back to a normal life. ​The political diagnosis is clear: the only cure for the nation is his absolute removal from that office. And for many, the only viable path left to achieve that is through the AFC-M23, for DRC to be at Peace.

Archaeologists in Livorno, Italy, are putting together the pieces of a great mystery that began with a stunning find. While hiking in a cleared area of a Tuscan forest northeast of Livorno, a member of the Livorno Paleontological Archaeological Group spotted a few glimmering coins in the dirt in November 2021. Upon closer inspection and excavation, researchers determined that the find included 175 silver Roman denarii coins. Nearly all were in good condition, making this one of the few hoards of ancient coins found intact, according to the group. But the discovery prompted a number of questions: Whose treasure was it? Who were they hiding it from? And why didn’t they come back for it? The archaeological group, along with the archaeologist official for the provinces of Pisa and Livorno, Dr. Lorella Alderighi, has spent more than a year measuring, weighing and documenting the coins, according to a news release posted on its Facebook page. Now, the researchers think they have some answers. “This treasure is about a person’s life, the savings of a soldier’s life and his hopes for building his farm,” Alderighi said via email. “However, it also tells a sad story: (T)he owner of the coins died before he could make his dreams come true using his savings. The coins tell his story.” The hoard now displayed at the Museum of Natural History of the Mediterranean in Livorno. It’s impossible to know exactly who buried the coins, Alderighi said, but the coins would most likely have been the treasure of a former soldier who served during Rome’s Social War from 91-88 BC and during civil war between Sulla and Marians from 83-82 BC. The owner of the hoard buried it in a terra-cotta pot, which served as a sort of piggy bank. The earliest coins in the stash dated to 157 or 156 BC, and the latest up to 83 or 82 BC, according to archaeological group’s release. During that time, 175 denarii would have been a soldier’s salary for about a year and a half, Alderighi said. Now, the treasure has a value of around 20,000 to 25,000 euros, she added. The coins were preserved well in their buried state. Only two are fractured, but they can be reassembled, the release noted. Studying them could provide scholars with more background on the history of coins and how people used them and could even lead to changes with fundamental typology, created in 1974 and still used today to identify and date Roman coins, she added. “It is one of the very few hoards of ancient coins found intact and provides a lot of numismatic, historical and social information,” Alderighi said. 🎥© rometravelers (IG) © CNN #archaeohistories

Today we gathered in Kilimani to memorialize a man's legacy on Galana road. It was a gathering of friends who walked with him through decades of struggle, fellow human rights defenders who stood beside him in courtrooms and in conscience, and his beloved widow Viloo, whose quiet strength and partnership made so much of his work possible. Pheroze Nowrojee was a Senior Counsel, poet, defender of the Constitution, and a dear friend. When the Moi government was arresting, detaining, and torturing protestors in the 1980s and 1990s, Pheroze walked into those courtrooms and stood beside political detainees, activists, journalists, and opposition leaders that no one else would touch, among them Koigi wa Wamwere and Raila Odinga, whose detentions without trial were a grim hallmark of that era. He challenged the constitutionality of sedition laws, he questioned detention without trial, and through his collective efforts with a generation of fearless lawyers, we laid much of the legal groundwork for Kenya's eventual return to multiparty democracy. The democracy we enjoy today has his fingerprints on it. He spent his life standing for justice when it was costly, defending the rule of law when it was inconvenient, and doing it all with a quiet brilliance and humanity that left everyone who encountered him changed. Today, his name is beyond the courtrooms and constitutions; it is on a road. Pheroze was more than a legal giant, he was my mentor, a guide, and a friend. I carry his teachings with me as we continue to strive for the Kenya he believed in and gave his life to build. Asante, Pheroze. Nairobi will carry your name forward.
