Week 310. Today on the Genocost Remembrance Day for Congo, we once again protested with Hope4Kinshasa outside Exportkreditnämnden. We demand them to cancel the deals with companies and actors that exploit people and nature in DRC.
After a meeting with EKN, they have still not met our demands. The humanitarian crisis currently taking place since a long time in Congo – fuelled by capitalistic imperialism – cannot be met with silence. We must all raise our voices and stand behind the struggles and demands of those affected; all the countless people who are living with this violence and exploitation in their everyday lives.
No one is free until everyone is free, justice for Congo! 🇨🇩

Sandra Bland. 9 years later, just thinking about the photos and videos of Sandra, in the hours preceding her death in a Texas jail, is still so deeply devastating. I am praying for her family, who knew and cared for her before those hours.
