Hmm the US isn't a particularly good example of a democracy.
Part of a wider pattern. The US is losing soft power in many places, I think.
What the actual fuck?????
In my country you have to have been a barrister for at least 5 years and in practice it's longer.
I can't get my head around this system of having laypersons voting randoms into a position that requires a high level of skill.
No, not after we heard what they had to say.
Me "could you please get a job to help pay for catfood?"
Her "nope. I don't feel like it. I'd rather just move into the bushes and live off rare native birds".
Skyrim, keep seeing things to harvest. Neighbour grew leeks at one point.
I used to play multiplayer Agar.io a few years ago and got this badly, the game is about circles of various sizes attacking each other and there are circles everywhere irl.
They should let it go in a pristine nature reserve, so it can protect it.
Yeah I think a lot of the real mods left during the API debacle.
What's left is fewer mod tools and less experienced moderators, a bad combination.
Back when they told them to go to that evacuation zone many predicted this is what would happen.
It must be so terrifying to keep being told to move to places and then being attacked when you get to them.
From the article:
"Instruments we used to deal with conflicts and security among ourselves are no longer working,” argued Obasanjo. “The government that comes in unconstitutional ways are not thinking of going away in three or four years not even ten years, they are thinking of staying for a generations; should we find new ways of sanctions?” asked Obasanjo.
Drawing on his experience with conflict in the Great Lakes region, President Kikwete explained that most conflicts in Africa result from leadership failures. “A lot of issues that Africa is dealing with stem from a deficit of governance,” he said.
President Ndayizeye, referencing the Burundi conflict, emphasized the importance of communication. He explained that he and the late President Pierre Buyoya began their talks as sworn enemies. They had to build trust and committed to meeting three times a day, which eventually matured into daily phone calls. Ndayizeye noted that although they started with mutual hatred, they ended up becoming friends.
The issue of terrorism was also addressed. Mozambique’s Interior Minister, Pascoal Pedro João Ronda, highlighted the situation in Mozambique and the impending departure of the SADC Mission in Mozambique (SAMIM) in July, emphasizing the need for increased cooperation among the states.
The Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat, highlighted the challenges faced by the council, including stringent budgeting and a lack of adequate mechanisms to implement its mandate.
He said: “The modesty of the Council’s means of intervention cannot be underestimated. I do not wish to dwell on the size of the budget allocated to the Council. They suffer the same fate as all the Union’s bodies.I would rather emphasize the Council’s lack of any means of coercion or of imposing its decisions.”
“This congenital weakness makes the operational function of Council a complete pipe dream. Where is the African Army? Where is the Standby Force? Where is the Rapid Intervention Brigade? All these ambitious projects, whose implementation would have enhanced the PSC’s intervention capabilities, if only to act as a deterrent, have been left to rest in drawers,” he emphasized.
Yes, sooner or later it will be recognised by most.
I'm old enough to remember the years after the Cambodian Genocide when the US supported the genocidal Khmer Rouge being the representatives for Cambodia at the UN, locking out the actual government of Cambodia.
These travesties happen every so often.
Oh that's interesting.
Collections is useful, I use it regularly.
