Critics have called it a stunt to invite sympathy. Yet Amuriat says campaigning without shoes is a protest and that those who do not get its symbolism are missing a point.

Marseille took a historic step in the music industry on Thursday after the news that the French Ligue 1 club had launched a rap label alongside music industry giant BMG.

To celebrate the new label, a jet black double-decker bus with some of the city’s local rap stars and DJs played music in France’s second-largest city.
“It’s good that the club is doing that,” said rapper Hollis the Infame, a lifelong Marseille fan who wears the team’s white jersey in his videos.
“I think I was a fan of Marseille even before I was born, it’s in our genes. ”
Emilie Hauck, head of A&R, told AFP that OM Records is a “50-50 joint venture” between the club and BMG and “the first time that a major in the record industry and a club like OM came together to create a label ”.

Many will remember Nkurunziza only for the last years of his presidency - that legally dubious third term of office that sparked a political crisis.
Nkurunziza's record shouldn't be reduced to those years of the ruling CNDD-FDD's repression of its opponents, although this brought Burundi closer to the governance style of other countries in the region.
The brutal assassination of Melchior Ndadaye, Burundi's first Hutu president, by a Tutsi-dominated army, encouraged Nkurunziza to enrol in an armed movement.
Selected CNDD-FDD candidate by default in the 2005 election, Nkurunziza came to power following the Arusha and Pretoria peace accords, and not through a military victory like his Ugandan and Rwandan counterparts.
An important indicator of this trend is the various electoral processes, all of which were marked by violence and, with the exception of 2005, record shouldn't be reduced to his last term that saw the repression of political opponents
Nkurunziza and the CNDD-FDD have never been able to guarantee that the end of privileges granted to the Tutsi minority in the Arusha Agreement would lead to real democracy as opposed to a revengeful tyranny of the Hutu majority.

By Associated Press undefined FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Republicans have picked up their 11th seat overall in the U.S. House and the third seat in California, as Republican David Valadao reclaimed the seat he lost in the farm belt two years ago. The former congressman defeated Democratic Rep. TJ Cox, who ousted Valadao in the 21st Congressional District two years ago by 862 votes. Valadao endorsed President Donald Trump after withholding his backing in 2016 — a risk in a swing district the president lost by 15 points four years ago. But he also stressed his independence, criticizing the Trump […]

To fill the gap, our study examined the gendered implications of sporadic water supply for livelihoods in Tatale-Sanguli District.
We discovered that water shortages affected both men and women in the district, but weighed more on women than men.
A combination of reproductive and productive workload makes women more susceptible to the drudgery of sporadic water supply than men.
When water supply for agriculture is limited, some younger women and men move away temporarily to find different ways of earning a living, leaving older family members behind.
How to relieve women's burden
To relieve the people of the Tatale-Sanguli District from the drudgery of limited water supply, we recommend that the local government and non-governmental organisations should intensify their water provision efforts in the district.
