What strikes me most forcefully in that face is the total lack of joy. Oh, I imagine he can feel plenty of pleasure. he seems to be what the …
The world did not end, but it changed when the United States elected a narcissistic billionaire and racist demagogue as its president.

Donald Trump’s electoral victory says something …

The problem is, almost nobody wants the vote to happen except the candidate for the ruling party, backed by the United States. The first round of elections, held last year, were widely viewed as rigged. However, the United States is demanding that the presidential vote go ahead, without fixing the process.

According to Kambale Musavuli, of Friends of Congo, the U.S. has conspired against the Congo for more than a century.
