  • DRC Warns Against Extinction Of Okapi #rwanda #RwOT

    DRCs famous Okapi animal species is edging closer to extinction, Désiré Nesobange a provincial minister in Ituri has warned.

    On the International Okapi Day, the minister indicated that the number of these animals has significantly decreased in recent years, following poaching armed forces, to the felling of trees in the Okapi Wildlife Reserve (RFO) in Mambasa territory, but also following the proliferation of armed groups in this protected area.

    'The Okapi has been known since 1900 by the indigenous people. Their number was around 5,000 when this reserve was created. Today, the workforce there is so reduced around 1,500, even below that because 1,500 was around 2014-2015. But today, with all the threats we live in, we can be even below 1,000. So the Okapi at Epulu remains only on the outskirts of its head office. The Okapi wildlife reserve is under enormous pressure from armed poaching, which is what makes Okapi decrease; there is also the cutting of trees, but also and above all the proliferation of armed groups which constitutes a serious threat at the level of the Okapi wildlife reserve and which is the basis for the extermination of this animal ', he said.

    It should be noted that in 2014, several dozen Okapi were shot dead by Mai-Mai militiamen led by the late rebel leader Morgan Sindani during an incursion into the RFO.

  • Kenya Considers New Constitution To Avoid Perennial Violence #rwanda #RwOT

    Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta has called for a change of the constitution, outlining the benefits it will have for future generations.

    'We spend almost two years after every election on conflicts,' he said, 'and that is what we want to change by ensuring inclusivity for all communities.'

    Kenyatta said the current Constitution is to blame for lack of inclusivity in the country, citing the perennial violence experienced during and after elections.

    He has appealed for a national conversation, to help Kenyans understand and critique the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) which is set to be released this week.

    'What we need is an honest national conversation about the moment for constitutional change,' he said, and dismissed claims by a section of leaders, including his Deputy William Ruto that BBI is all about creating positions for individuals.

    According to political analysts in Kenya, the BBI report will be released on Wednesday, paving the way for a national referendum.

    'Constitutional change is not all about creating positions for anyone,' he said, 'it is aimed at ensuring we no longer have the winner takes it all and loser goes home with nothing after elections,' President Kenyatta said.

    According to Kenyatta, the 2010 Constitution gave Kenyans some remedies but did it resolve or entrench some zero-sum game where the winner takes all and the loser goes home with nothing.

    'Our Country is staring at a constitutional moment and the National question goes back to the advent of our Multi-Party System for indeed it was after the re-introduction of political pluralism in 1992 that negative politics began to dominate. Now we need to ask ourselves as a people; how do we change this through a constitutional consensus?,' he said.

    Opposition chief Raila Odinga who reignited the BBI conversation, declared 'Reggae is Back'.

  • 50 CENT TELLS HIS FANS TO VOTE FOR TRUMP #RwOT #Rwanda



    Rapper and entrepreneur 50 Cent recently expressed his support for Donald Trump and seemed to indicate that everything is riding on one issue, his tax rate. In a recent Instagram post, 50 Cent, who files his businesses under his government name Curtis Jackson, told his Instagram followers to vote for Donald Trump.

    Jackson seemed to be upset by Biden’s proposed tax rate for the wealthy. He took a photo of his television showing a proposed 62% tax rate, and said that he doesn’t even care if Trump “doesn’t like black people,” he’s voting for Donald Trump anyway.

    “WHAT THE FCK! (VOTE ForTRUMP) IM OUT, FCK NEW YORK The KNICKS never win anyway. I don’t care Trump doesn’t like black people 62% are you out of ya f****** mind,” Jackson said in the now-viral post.

    As he probably expected, his post sparked outrage among a large portion of his audience and was instantly praised in conservative media.

    His posts even caught the attention of the Trump family. Jackson continued to post in support of the President after his original comments made the news. In a later tweet, he posted a video of a Fox News segment where his comments were discussed, and he quoted one of the hosts, saying that he does not want to become “20 Cent.”

    Christopher Bouzy, a Black CEO and the founder of Bot Sentinel, was one of the first prominent names to criticize Jackson for his remarks. Bouzy called out Jackson as well as Kanye West and Ice Cube, and accused them of being opportunists.

    It appears that Jackson is clearly supporting Donald Trump in the election this year, but he has also been critical of the president in the past, so perhaps he is just voting for what he perceives as the lesser of two evils. Jackson has previously attacked the president on his COVID-19 response, saying “You wanted a reality show host as president. Well, now you’re on Survivor.”

    In 2017, during an interview with US radio station Hot 97, Jackson said that he was offered $500,000 to make an appearance as part of Donald Trump’s 2016 election campaign. In the same interview, he went on to call Trump’s presidency an “accident.”

    “They wanted to pay me $500,000 as part of the campaign just to make an appearance. His presidency is an accident. If you were a President by accident, you might do some of the things Donald Trump is doing… I think he was [campaigning] to build his profile for a bigger deal on television, and everything else,” Jackson said in the interview.

    It is also important to note that the initial tax figures posted by Jackson are a bit misleading, as CNBC noted these figures are based on a study that doesn’t include deductions or loopholes that most people take advantage of, and will only be applied to top earners.

    Under Biden’s plan, the effective tax rate for the top 1% would increase from 26.8% to 39.8%, according to the Tax Policy Center, which means that top earners in California and New York City would pay effective state and federal tax rates of around 53%, compared with the roughly 40% they pay in effective rates today.

    As of 2020, Jackson’s net worth is estimated to be $30 million, which is a huge drop from previous years, when his net worth was declared at $150 million by Forbes.
