The #ICC is not doing great. There's a lot to complain about. But this, we cannot allow. We cannot allow these hegemons and bullies to run this project into the ground because there is something worthy of protection and improvement in it. #InternationalJustice www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

In a new De Morgen op-ed, IOB’s Kristof Titeca (@kristoftiteca.bsky.social) argues that the war in eastern #Congo has become a political and economic asset for Congolese and US elites, while millions of Congolese continue to bear the costs. www.demorgen.be/meningen/hoe...

Fukuyama: We have reached the end of history. History: It's 2026, and an official branch of the Ukrainian armed forces is tweeting about how drone striking Andrew Tate while he's clout farming with the Russian military would be fun, but is sadly a war crime. Get bent old man.

Ukrainian USF tweet: "Ok, fellas, we see all your tags and we get it. But. Being a shitty person doesn't make someone a legitimate military target under international law. Climbing on a tank for internet clout isn't enough to become a combatant. Do something that actually qualifies — then we can talk. Until then, we'll keep our drones for real military targets 😉"

In the blog post, we ask why repeated civil service reforms have produced such limited results in the #DRC? We show how decades of administrative legacies and state informalisation continue to shape - and constrain - reform efforts. democracyinafrica.org/the-revenge-of

Ik sprak in dit mooie - maar deprimerende - artikel van @noellehabraken.bsky.social in De Standaard over de vluchtelingencrisis (of eerder financieringscrisis) in Uganda.

Oeganda vangt de meeste vluchtelingen op in Afrika. Jarenlang gold het als een succesverhaal in de regio. Maar door wereldwijde bezuinigingen op ontwikkelingshulp heerst er vandaag een diepe humanitaire crisis. Kristof Titeca (UAntwerpen) legt uit. www.standaard.be/weekend/oega...

Centrafrique: arrestation d'un humanitaire français de MSF par des mercenaires russes

Le gouvernement centrafricain accuse un travailleur humanitaire français de Médecins sans frontières (MSF) « d'activités subversives ». François Zamparini, employé dans un camps de réfugiés en RDC, a été arrêté, mercredi 4 mars, par des mercenaires russes à Zémio, juste de l'autre côté de la frontière, en Centrafrique, alors qu'il était en réunion avec des autorités locales de cette zone en proie à un conflit intercommunautaire sanglant depuis plusieurs années.
