 📚 My book, Conflict Minerals Inc. is out now with Hurst and Oxford University Press. Reviewers say it’s “lucid, compassionate and personal”, and a “devastating and essential reading.” Here is to a few pictures and key points. đŸ§”

Aberrant de voir des dĂ©putĂ©s inconscients d’extrĂȘme droite parler d’un “massacre” qui n’a eu lieu uniquement sur Fox News avec des fausses photos y attribuĂ©es, puis encore de confondre M23 et ADF. Tout Ă  fait sage que Bruxelles s’abstienne de commenter de telles bĂȘtises.

As we witness the poison of hate, racism and othering gain ground across the globe these days, 7 April is a harrowing reminder of how the world failed in the face of evil 31 years ago. Never again shouldn’t be a mere slogan. #Kwibuka.

Pour comprendre les guerres, les Ă©tudier est aussi un bon dĂ©but, car cela permet d’éviter les raccourcis trompeurs. Une gauche engagĂ©e est cruciale, nous avons plus besoin que toujours aujourd’hui, mais l’engagement se nourri aussi d’une analyse critique et sĂ©rieuse.

It's extraordinary to note that this 11-year old article, which I wrote on 29 November 2013 as Deputy Permanent Representative in @RwandaUN, and which was published by @ethuin in his "Amani Itakuya" projet, didn't age at all.

On this day in 2017, Michael J. Sharp and Zaida Catalán were assassinated while investigating war crimes in Congo’s Kasai region. Most people behind this political murder enjoy impunity until today, just as much as others involved in killings in the region for over three decades.

It’s tasteless, unethical and a proof of utter analytical poverty to weaponize the murder of my colleagues Michael and Zaida for unconnected, misleading and amateurish political lobbying.

In parallel, heavy gunfire was reported inside Uvira this morning and the situation along the RN5 stretch leading northwards towards Kamanyola and Bukavu remains tense. One of Bukavu’s most appreciated police commanders was killed by militia while retreating.
