The New Humanitarian | Food, hunger, and COVID-19 in the Philippines

In rural areas, land reform advocates have become targets of deadly state operations ostensibly targeting communist rebels. These have become more frequent since COVID-19 lockdowns began, rights groups say. In the sugar production hub of Negros in the central Philippines, the National Federation of Sugar Workers – a group with a long history of fighting for land rights – has been targeted in multiple deadly operations. Antonio Arellano, one of the federation’s chairmen, was killed by four unidentified assailants in February. He was previously accused of involvement with the New People’s Army.

“Even lockdowns did not stop killings and militarisation in the countryside,” said John Milton Lozande, secretary-general of NFSW. “The state forces seem to perceive all organisations as communist-influenced.”

Scorpion

It is said that the scorpion would be the only creature that would survive in the event of a nuclear accident and that, of all the signs, it is the only one that can change, by a simple act of will, the destiny of the stars.

Egipt, 2018

Despre Regele Scorpion, unul dintre cele mai misterioase personaje din istorie, citisem înainte să pornesc spre Egipt.

Mă împăcasem cu gândul că nu voi afla nimic nou despre el dar, prin deșertul nubian

și prin pustietățile Sinaiului

mi-a revenit, stăruitoare, în minte, doar această plăsmuire.

Am scotocit prin muzeele egiptene după indicii.

Unele studii susțin că el ar fi întemeietorul Egiptului faraonic, dar documentele trunchiate și aluzive ale primilor cronicari istorici oferă doar fantasme.

În Egiptul prefaraonic, scorpionii se strecurau peste tot, pe sub vreo piatră, într-un vas de lut uitat descoperit, prin cotloanele locuințelor din chirpici.

Se acomodau ușor la condiții vitrege și nu ieșeau decât atunci când reușita era certă.

Deșertul era mediul lor preferat, dar se simțeau bine și în umezeala văii Nilului, în mlaștinile cu vegetație luxuriantă. Se trăia sub amenințarea lui tăcută.

Teologii egipteni susțineau că veninul scorpionului se scurgea din lacrimile lui…
