For now, the Trump administration claims that it wants to establish peace and be the middleman, the piecemaker, but all they want - as we all know - is a complete control of the rich natural resources of Congo, while giving back very, very little to the 100+ million population of the country. There is no talk about fair agreements, no talk about infrastructure, roads, hospitals, schools, health insurance - nothing. All the talk is to have access to this rich area in return for guaranteeing piece, which is exactly what a mafia boss would say in the neighborhood.
Democracy Now! Eleven peace activists and one journalist on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship, the "Madleen," were detained by Israeli soldiers as their ship carrying vital humanitarian aid for starving Palestinians approached Gaza. The ship was intercepted by Israeli forces in the middle of the night in international waters. Its supplies were seized and communications jammed. The unarmed activists will likely be transported to Israeli detention or "immediately deported," says Ann Wright, a U.S. military veteran who has participated in four Freedom Flotilla journeys and now serves on the steering committee of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. She calls on citizens of countries around the world to push for the activists' release and an end to Israel's war on Gaza.
