In central Brazil, canadian company Aura Minerals ignores quilombola concerns over gold project – Observatório da Mineração
- Canadian mining company Aura Minerals plans to establish a major gold extraction project in Brazil’s Tocantins state without hearing the Quilombola (slave descendant) community that will be affected by the operations, thus violating their right to free, prior and informed consultation.
- So far, the company has not been transparent toward the community and has not described the potential impacts.
- Meanwhile, Aura Minerals has seen its value rise nearly 700% on the Toronto Stock Exchange between 2019 and 2022 — the best performance among 3,500 listed companies.
- The Quilombola estimate that, in the event of an accident with the company’s dam, the Baião community would be instantly engulfed and would disappear completely, with no chance to react.
“A Fi Wi Republic” campaign kicks off this month
Now we all recall the great discomfort(and indeed annoyance) of many Jamaicans before, during and after the visit of Prince William and Kate, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, to the island. This was just over one year ago. At the time, the Advocates Network organisedan Open Letter signed by 100 individuals (including myself) and organisations, addressed to the royal couple, asked them simply to “seh yuh sorry!” In other words, to apologise for their family’s historic and well-known involvement in the enslavement of Africans, one of the world’s greatest ever crimes against humanity, for their benefit. As last year was “Jamaica 60,” a list of sixty reasons was attached.
Disappointingly,in a speechat a King’s House dinner, Prince William expressed “profound sorrow” for his country’s enslavement of other human beings – but did not apologise.
However, the Jamaican Government – and Jamaicans themselves – cannot just leave…

Es wird immer schwieriger, nette Filme zu finden; entweder sind sie tragisch, deprimierend, gewalttätig oder dystopisch oder alles zusammen.

Every now and then my friend Jerry sends me a suggestion for a music post. Now, for the most part he and I are not of the same mind when it comes to music, but every so often he hits on one that I like, too! A couple of nights ago we were chatting via text messages when he suggested this song by Billy Joel. At first I couldn’t really remember the tune, though the title rang a bell. But when I listened, oh yes, I remember the song! But I had no idea of its background, so curious, I headed to Wikipedia and SongFacts and found that this song was quite controversial back in the day! According to SongFacts …
Many musicians join bands to meet girls, but few overachieve the way Joel did, dating models and even marrying one of them (Christie Brinkley). Virginia Callaghan was the first…

धीरज / Patience

मां मेरी कहती थी,
धीरज रखो,
जीवन एक चक्र है,
दुख के बाद सुख आता है,
मैं मान लेता था
और खुश होता था…
मेरे बच्चे इसे नहीं मानते,
अब ना तो वह दौर रहा
और न ही मेरे जैसे बच्चे…
🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
My mother used to say,
have patience,
life is a cycle,
happiness comes after sorrow,
I would agree and be happy…
my kids don’t accept it,
neither that period
nor kids like me
are there now…
