the preston market changed their potato wedges, is their anywhere in town that still hand batters them rather than using preseasoned fake wedges?
Matt, you have spent countless effort since October 7th doing cynical whataboutism about other genocides/mass human atrocities. Someone else brings up a different genocide and suddenly its irrelevant and not deserving of an honest response? You can't even make bad faith and cynical on-topic replies?

Congo Plans Paramilitary Unit for Mines with US, UAE Funding
The Democratic Republic of Congo will create a paramilitary unit to police its mines with funding from the US and the United Arab Emirates, the country’s General Inspectorate of Mines said.
