Global aid funding cuts, led by the United States, are disrupting efforts to vaccinate children against deadly diseases almost as much as the Covid-19 pandemic did, the United Nations said on Thursday. Lawrence Gostin, Distinguished Professor at Georgetown University and Director of the WHO Center on Global Health Law, says that "many people will die and many will be hospitalised, all because of funding cuts and disinformation".#Apropos #Vaccines #WHO #Publichealth #Health

M23 fighters allied with Rwandan troops on Sunday entered the centre of Bukavu, another key city in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Kinshasa has accused Rwanda of seizing land in the area for mining and agriculture purposes. Rwanda says it has taken defensive measures against ethnic Hutu militias such as FDLR in the region, a claim that is not credible, according to Thierry Vircoulon, Associate Researcher at IFRI's Africa Centre.#Africa #Apropos #DRCongo #Rwanda #M23rebels

Pää- ja näkökulmahenkilöt kutsuvat lukijaa aina puolelleen. Taitava lukija osaa suhtautua tuohon kutsuun kriittisesti ja huomata, että lukiessa on muitakin vaihtoehtoja kuin hahmoihin samaistuminen ja puolelle asettuminen. Ilman tuota taitoa syntyy "jänniä" tulkintoja teoksista kuten Juha, Lolita tai Rikos ja rangaistus. #apropos #kirjamastodon #kirjallisuustiede
