5 wildlife rangers shot - 3 killed - by poachers in Congo park
▻https://news.mongabay.com/2016/04/5-wildlife-rangers-shot-3-killed-poachers-congo-park
Rangers put their lives on the line each and every day, and are under real siege in Garamba protecting #elephants from heavily incentivized and militarized poaching gangs (...)
African parks noted that family members of victims will receive an amount equal to six times their annual salary plus any funds raised by donor campaigns. The benefit is unusual — rangers’ families in other places are sometimes left destitute after an incident.

Leur rêve se transforme en cauchemar
▻http://enquete.lematindimanche.ch/trafic-femmes
Les trafiquants les recrutent via des contacts personnels. Ils leur font de fausses promesses d’éducation ou de travail en Europe. Bien que volontaires au départ, les femmes perdent rapidement leurs libertés. « On nous appelait « produits » et nous traitait comme telles », affirme Tobore. La journaliste doit poser nue devant un jury. Ce dernier considère que son corps est assez attractif pour être rangé dans la catégorie « force spéciale ». Tobore peut ainsi travailler comme escort girl pour de riches clients et éviter le trottoir, à l’inverse de femmes classées dans la « force de rue ».

Machineguns in the Mist - ZAM
▻http://www.zammagazine.com/chronicle/chronicle-10/161-machineguns-in-the-mist
DR Congo | The ‘Virunga’ movie shows the rangers of the gorilla reserve in the DRC as heroes. The real picture is far more complex.
In the movie, the Park Rangers are adored by all the parks’ inhabitants: whether animal or human, all are grateful for the selflessly provided protection of their beautiful environment. In reality, the environmentalist Belgian commando-trained army is just one of the problems local people face when trying to make ends meet.
The rebel army M23 also takes tourists to see gorillas
Black Pete exposes the Netherlands’ problem with race
White people dressing up as fools with black faces is not the harmless Christmas fun that the Dutch make it out to be
As I hinted in the first paragraph, Zwarte Piet is not the only sign that the Dutch have a problem with race. Dutch society also has more subtle ways of reminding black people of their place and keeping them there. If you spend any time in the Netherlands, you will soon hear the words “allochtoon” used in polite conversation.
People of “non-western” descent are labeled “allochtoon”, not only by the white society, but also by law. “Allochtoon” is based on a Greek word, “allokhthon”, and means “found in a place other than where they were formed”. But no non-Dutch white person living in the Netherlands is referred to as allochtoon, only non-white people, Dutch and otherwise.
Yet a fifth of the Dutch population consists of people of colour. This includes people from former colonies such as Indonesia and Surinam, but also people whose roots lay in Morocco and Turkey. Since the 1980s, there has also been a steady stream of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa to the Netherlands. Some of them are now grandparents, with kids and grandkids who consider the Netherlands home (or try to, at any rate). All of these people are “allochtoon”.
In this context, one can start to understand why the unemployment rate of non-white Dutch people (at 15% in the first quarter of 2012) is two-and-a-half times higher than the Dutch average.
