Germany ignores Poland on #Ukraine, but when Poland dares to ignore Germany...

Pardon?! 😳 Where are Germany and France? Finally live up to your responsibilities and focus on teamwork! We can only save Ukraine and Eastern Europe as Europeans together!

Free elections and an imminent peaceful transfer of power in the Horn of Africa? Only in #Somaliland - with possibly wide-ranging regional consequences. My analysis in TAZ @tazgezwitscher taz.de/Praesidentscha…


#DRC youth civil rights movement proclaims the start of a "democratic popular offensive for the defence of the Constitution" against President Tshisekedi's ambitions to rewrite it.

Notre message à Tshisekedi est sans ambiguïté : nous veillerons à ce qu’il quitte le pouvoir au plus tard en 2028, au terme de son second et dernier mandat. Toute tentative pour s’éterniser au pouvoir par des velléités de changement constitutionnel sera farouchement combattue.

In the shadow of many conflicts raging around the globe, an extensive human catastrophe is currently unfolding in Sudan. The country is mired in a civil war, which caused 14 million refugees, almost a third of once 48 million inhabitants. Today, the UNSC intended to release a…

There is something delicious about the USA, UK and France giving the green light to #Ukraine to do what it must in Russia while would-be appeaser Scholz is helpless in mid-flight to Brazil, leaving his foreign and defence ministers who both support Ukraine in charge in Berlin.


On the one side: USA, UK, France. On the other side: North Korea, out of its depth. No contest. #Ukraine


Wrong number: My TAZ @tazgezwitscher editorial on the Scholz-Putin #Ukraine phone call taz.de/Telefonat-mit-…


Olaf Scholz has morphed into "Schloz" in this interview with the UK prime minister, on paper a fellow social democrat.

NEW: PM says he has no plans or speak to Putin in wake of Scholz call as he urges allies to “double down on shoring up support for Ukraine” and says must to that for “as long as it takes”. Here’s the exchange

It's been close to three years....three years... three years. Why, why, why, why is this happening as late as now....how many lives could have been saved, how many opportunities could have been very timely used, in a unique historic situation that we had after March 29, 2022,…

No-one will stop Putin with phone calls. The attack last night, one of the biggest in this war, has proved that telephone diplomacy cannot replace real support from the whole West for Ukraine. The next weeks will be decisive, not only for the war itself, but also for our future.


It's winter in #Ukraine.

Another fallen hero.



Dieselben Leute, die monatelang die FDP raus aus der Regierung wollten, regen sich jetzt fürchterlich darüber auf, dass die FDP monatelang raus aus der Regierung wollte. 🇩🇪

Zelensky tells Scholz to get back into his Pandora's box. #Ukraine

Ukraine‘s President Zelenskyy clearly criticized the Scholz-Putin call, correctly calling it a Pandora’s box.



Not quite an official recognition of #Somaliland, but as close as you can get without saying so. #Somalia will be furious.


This is quite funny coming from Scholz who will most probably be voted out of office in 100 days.

The officials said Scholz had stressed the “long-term nature” of Germany’s support for Ukraine and had told Putin he “can’t count on time being on his side”. ft.com/content/f0ee82…



#DRC #Goma Amani Peace Festival is unbanned at the last minute, but it's too late now presumably.

#RDC |🇨🇩Suite à une amélioration de la situation sécuritaire, le maire de Goma, Kapend Kamand Faustin, a levé l'interdiction du festival Amani. Le festival, initialement prévu du 15 au 17 novembre, avait été annulé en raison de craintes sécuritaires. Cependant, les autorités…
