Clampdown on protests negates democracy - Punch Newspapers

Published 15 June 2021
FOR the umpteenth time, the regime of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has demonstrated its characteristically strong but disturbing disdain for the democratic rights of Nigerian citizens to peaceful protest. This is as heavy police deployments disrupted the June 12 protests at different venues across the country as Nigeria marked Democracy Day 2021. The irony is unmistakable. On a day chosen to mark democracy in the country, the Buhari regime came out charging at the citizens expressing their inalienable right, deploying heavily armed police personnel and armoured personnel carriers to intimidate the protesters, condoning off protest venues, hounding and beating up protesters in the process.

Victims Of Chemical Attacks In Syria File Complaint With Swedish Police

Years after initial human rights violations in 2013 and 2017 respectively, lawyers from four non-governmental organizations are filing a criminal complaint to the Swedish police regarding the chemical weapons attacks on Syrian civilians. The Syrian Centre for Media and Freedom of Expression (SCM), Civil Rights Defenders, Syrian Archive (SA), and the Open Society Justice Initiative (OSJI) are specifically pointing towards the use of sarin gas in Ghouta in 2013 and Khan Sheikhoun in the Idlib province in 2017. The accusation comes while similar complaints arise in both France and Germany.
“Swedish authorities can join their counterparts in France and Germany to…demonstrate that there will be no impunity for the perpetrators of these crimes,” said Steve Kostas, a lawyer for the Justice Initiative. The Syrian government, however, denies ever using chemical weapons against its own civilians. “Sweden can and should contribute to putting an end to the current state of impunity in Syria,” Hadi al-Khatib, founder and director of the Syrian Archive, said in a statement according to Al Jazeera. He continues, “by filing the complaint, we want to support the victims’ struggle for truth and justice.”

Idriss Déby's death and son's leadership ― The making of a new African dynasty

By Victoria Ojeme
Tuesday’s death announcement of Idriss Déby, the president of Chad just after news came that he had won a sixth term, by 79.3%, in the latest provisional results on Monday sent shock waves around the world.
According to the army spokesperson, Général Azem Bemrandoua Agouna, the military had been pushed back by insurgents who were advancing on the capital, N’Djamena.
Déby, was expected to give a victory speech after receiving the provisional results, but opted instead to visit Chadian soldiers on the front lines, said his campaign director Mahamat Zen Bada.
Analysts say Déby’s death is a jolt to Western counterterrorism strategy in the Sahel, a region that runs along the Sahara Desert’s southern fringes. With help largely from France and the United States, Déby built Chad’s military into the region’s most formidable fighting force, one that is deployed alongside Western military units in interventions against Islamist militants in Mali, Niger and northern Nigeria.
