54 people killed by the ADF in 2 days in the village Samboko of irumu

It was around 4 am , Tuesday, May 2020, 26 that armed men identified with the Ugandan rebels of the Ugandan rebels made their foray into Samboko, a village located in Chieftainship of Walesse Vonkutu, territory of Irumu more than 130 km south of the city of Bunia.
Local civil society delivering information to
buniaactualite.com says that 14 people were killed this Monday around 4 am and 40 others were killed the next day, making a total of 54 dead in only two days.
" Yesterday at around 4 am, the Ugandan rebels called ADF arrived in the village Samboko, they started shooting in the air. When the population began to run in every way, the ADF started cutting people with machete says Gili Gotabo, coordinator of this citizen structure.
He calls for a strengthening of the military in this border part of Beni (North Kivu), where these out have been running for years.
" The national and provincial government must affect several mileage in the territory to end this kind of situation he says.
Several deaths have been recorded in this part between North Kivu and Ituri since the Congolese army launched in-depth operations against rebel positions.

DRC's first vice president of national aasembly has been impeached by MPs, start of a deep divorce?

Members have removed the first Vice-President of their National Assembly by a very large majority.
The evening will have been heated in the National Assembly and yet the vote of the petition which was to lead to the removal of Jean-Marc Kabund-a-Kabund, also president a.i. of udps by Félix Tshisekedi's only decision, did not do any doubt.
Indeed, since the announcement of Félix Tshisekedi's presidential victory (without any ticket of a voting office has ever been published), the presidential party knows that it is and will always be under the supervision of a legislative power national fully in the hands of Joseph Kabila's Common Front for Congo (FCC).
MLC MP Jean-Jacques Mamba's petition, launched on the grounds that the first vice president of the National Assembly would have negatively affected the image of his institution by publicly providing on the air of a kinoise radio that call a convention to vote the state Health emergency in the face of the coronavirus would cost "$ 7 million", a figure not related to reality, so had every chance to be voted if it collected the 50 votes needed (out of 500 Members) for be able to be dropped.
Indeed, if the opposition left the two components of the coalition in power to tear apart, this petition could only exist if FCC members decided to sign their signature at the bottom of this text. From the moment, among the signing of the petition, there was a large majority of FCC, there was little doubt that the text would go to the end of its process and would therefore lead to the removal of Kabund-a-Kabund. And in fact, out of 315 MPs participating in the vote during this of-19 pandemic, 17 voted against the petition, 9 abstention, while 289 elected officials voted in favor of the text.
Hot spring in Congolese rooms
The tension between Jean-Mard Kabund and Jeanine Mabunda, the very kabiliste president of the National Assembly is no mystery to anyone. The eviction of Kabund, who tried a last wrong to his president when she voted the petition while a dispute was still high on one of the petition's signatures, did not fix anything. Through this hostility, it is the limits of the FCC - cach coalition (of Tshisekedi and... Kamerhe) that appear in the open. And what just played in the National Assembly brings back early May tensions in the Senate when a Senator from Modest Bahati (former FCC member who came closer to cach), Mrs. Jewelry Goya Kitenge, had tried to put into trouble the president of the Upper House, Alexis Thambwe Mwamba. In question of the renovation work of the Chamber and its surroundings through a contract signed voluntarily and without being included in the budget.
If President Thambwe was put in a brief form by a well-conducted and very well-documented statement of the Senator of Haut Katanga, the man, after a little glorious unpacking session, quickly back himself, understanding that he had nothing fear because - although some senators might be tempted to play a pendable tour to the former Justice Minister still very close to the first circle of the kabilie - he had a large majority more than comfortable in the Senate to ensure his tranquility.
The opposite of Kabund and the few "elected" of the cach platform who know and to whom the kabilistes reminded this Monday evening that they depended exclusively on their good will... especially in this hot spring where Kinshasa rustles, as usual , of a thousand rumors.
The first announces an in-depth restructuring of the government. Prime Minister Sylvestre Ilunga could pack his bags. The name of Matata Ponyo is regularly mentioned. Tshisekedi's DRC has lived on credit for more than a year. The Covid, the drop in export and the melting of raw materials prices make the state crates, which are already hungry, are now almost completely empty and with no prospect of a better in the short term.
The DRC will have to hit quickly on the doors of international donors. The IMF and World Bank have always had a little weakness for the man at the Maniema red tie. The presidential camp has finished burning its last rounds by definitely being unable to - simply - reduce his lifestyle.
What to consider, therefore, the start of the second rumor and the end of the cach-FCC coalition in power for a co-existence that would send back udps and UNC in the opposition and leave Félix Tshisekedi alone in the opposition and leave Félix Tshisekedi alone in front of his current ally. A scenario that should still stir up the discord in udps, deprived of maroquins and having only a few elected officials, and which could also harm the very survival of the UNC, the party of a vital Kamerhe, still held at the of prison as part of the case of diversion of funds during the 100-day program of the head of state.
Kinshasa likes to spread these rumors. Kabila has gone master in their use to gauge their possible impact. Only for sure, Kabund is no longer the first vice president of the National Assembly, Kamerhe is still in prison and state crates are empty every day a little more.

Rwanda:General Emmanuel gasana fired!!!! Azize iki??? Arabamara....how do neighbours get everything about Rwanda?

The island enjoys a certain degree of autonomy in terms of its economy and laws, but recently Beijing decided to introduce stricter penalties for treason and sedition in light of the protests that rocked Hong Kong in 2019 and which led to casualties as well as numerous accounts of vandalism.
China's Foreign Ministry has harshly criticised Washington's recent attempts to meddle in its policies towards Hong Kong, vowing to use "every necessary measure" to stop the US from doing so in the future if necessary. The ministry's spokesman Zhao Lijian argued that Washington had "no right to criticise and interfere" in how Beijing regulates its semi-autonomous territory .
"What laws, how, and when Hong Kong SAR [Special Administrative Region] should legislate are entirely within the scope of China’s sovereignty. If the US insists on hurting China’s interests, China will have to take every necessary measure to counter and oppose this", Zhao Lijian stated.
US Interference in Hong Kong Affairs
While Hong Kong does have its own legal system, Beijing has a say in the laws that are applied there. Namely, the Chinese government recently introduced a bill that is yet to be voted on that would make treason and sedition laws stricter, banning activities that could potentially subvert the government or "split the country".

The move was criticised by US National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien, who threatened that Washington would strip the island of its preferential trading status if Beijing doesn't backtrack on the bill. O’Brien argued that by introducing the new law, Beijing was violating its own promise to grant the island significant autonomy.

The new piece of legislation came after Hong Kong was rocked by a series of public protests back in 2019. The protesters demanded the withdrawal of another bill that would have legitimised extraditions to mainland China, but continued their riots even after it was scrapped. The demonstrations often turned violent, resulting in numerous acts of vandalism and injuries to local police officers.

The earth's magnetic field is weakening! It will have significant effects on communication.

The Earth has a moderately strong magnetic field, which is generated by superheated liquid iron that makes up the outer core of our planet. The magnetic field is vital to life as it shields the Earth’s ozone layer from solar winds, cosmic rays, and harmful ultraviolet radiation.
The Earth’s magnetic field is weakening, the European Space Agency (ESA) said in a statement, citing data from its Swarm mission, a constellation of satellites that was launched in 2013. According to the ESA, over the last 200 years, the Earth’s magnetic has field has lost 9 percent of its strength.
In 1958, scientists discovered the South Atlantic Anomaly, an area that sits between Africa and South America where the magnetic field has been weakening considerably. According to the ESA’s latest study, this area has grown and moved westward at a pace of around 12 miles (20 km) per year and scientists cannot explain why.
Moreover, according to data provided by the Swarm mission, which studies our planet’s magnetic field, a second area with less strength has emerged in South Africa, which the ESA says could be a sign that the South Atlantic Anomaly "could split up into two separate cells".
"The new, eastern minimum of the South Atlantic Anomaly has appeared over the last decade and in recent years is developing vigorously", said Jürgen Matzka, from the German Research Centre for Geosciences. "We are very lucky to have the Swarm satellites in orbit to investigate the development of the South Atlantic Anomaly. The challenge now is to understand the processes in Earth’s core driving these changes", Matzka said
The space agency said one hypothesis that may explain the magnetic field’s bizarre behaviour is a reversal of the North and South Poles, a process during which the poles switch places. It has occurred many times throughout the planet’s history and the ESA says "we are long overdue by the average rate of roughly 250,000 years".
The ESA said that at the moment, the weakening of the magnetic field, which protects our planet from cosmic radiation and charged particles emitted by the Sun, poses no risk for humans. However, satellites and spacecraft that fly through an area with reduced field strength are more likely to experience technical malfunctions.

The effects!
An imminent polar reversal on planet Earth - a North and South Pole switch - and thus a weakening of the planet’s magnetic field in parts of the globe would definitely bring about at least some changes to how Earth would be protected from harmful ultraviolet radiation, as well as space winds,
News18 reported, citing scientists.
Satellites are feared to be rendered non-operational, which would automatically mean massive disruptions to global communication systems, including telecom networks and Internet connection. Scientists say spacecraft flying through an area with a depleted magnetic force, as the North Pole and South Pole are set to swap places, are more likely to experience technical issues.
According to Mike Hapgood, a scientist who focused on geomagnetic storms and conducted a study on the solar storm of 1921, a powerful geomagnetic event would disrupt most technological innovations that people widely exploit nowadays.
"This could include regional power outages, profound changes to satellite orbits, and loss of radio-based technologies such as GPS", he said in a statement, as per SpaceWeather.com .
"The disruption of GPS could significantly impact logistics and emergency services”, he went on.
Although magnetic field reversals don’t usually happen overnight, concerns have mounted over how the main consequences could be avoided, or at least, promptly fixed.
In a recent statement, the ESA warned about the weakening of Earth’s vital magnetic field, generated by superheated liquid iron hundreds of kilometres beneath the planetary surface. According to the ESA, over the last 200 years, the Earth’s magnetic field has lost 9 percent of its strength.
In 1958, scientists discovered the South Atlantic Anomaly, an area that sits between Africa and South America where the magnetic field has been weakening the most. According to the ESA’s latest study, this area has expanded and moved westward at a speed of around 12 miles (20 km) per year.
One theory that may explain the magnetic field’s bizarre behaviour is a reversal of the North and South Poles, a process during which the poles switch places. It has occurred many times throughout history - roughly every 250,000 years - and the ESA says that now "we are long overdue”. However, it assures, these events hardly pose any direct danger to humanity, except the aforementioned technical malfunctions.

The president of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, expressed his desire to discuss possible cooperation in rocket construction with Chinese President Xi Jinping

In September 2019, the president of Belarus stated that he would take steps towards cooperating with his Ukrainian counterpart Vladimir Zelensky in order for Minsk to create its own rocket.
The president of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, expressed his desire to discuss possible cooperation in rocket construction with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

 Having previously suggested the possibility of building Chinese missiles in Belarus, Lukashenko insisted that there should be "no dependence" on foreign actors.
"Let me then negotiate that on my level, I'm ready to negotiate that with Xi Jinping, I don't think that will be a problem", the president said.
The statement came after Lukashenko was updated on the state of missile development in Belarus and the construction of Chinese rockets. In particular, he was told that there have been successful moves towards the development and eventual deployment of the country's own missiles, that could destroy targets up to 300 kilometres away.
Earlier, Lukashenko said that Russia did not want to work with Belarus on missile development and had refused to provide a range, comments that were slammed by Moscow as "groundless accusations", as Russia said it does not have such ranges, and instead rents them in Kazakhstan.
