Prof Hoosen Vawda – TRANSCEND Media Service,
19 Jul 2021
12 Jul 2021 – It is indeed ironic that South Africa is “celebrating” Mandela Day on 18th July marking the birthday of the great international icon, amid serious civil unrest, resulting in the deaths of 72 South Africans. In reality, the week has become a period of national mourning and reflection on the profound legacy left by the Great Madiba, as did Mahatma Gandhi in India.

15 Jul 2021 – It is conceivable that the Myanmar terrorist regime of the SAC may be genocidally minded in its approach in tackling COVID-19 within the military and its sub-social system, while deliberately putting at risk the lives of millions of anti-military Burmese of all ethnic and religious backgrounds.

There may be people who believe that the problem of mass unemployment has become a non-problem solved by the Biden Administration. I doubt that any of them read TMS. I also trust that detailed explanations of phrases like “structural transformation” are as unnecessary as they are impossible here. Everyone knows about structural violence. And the reader will tolerate having to rely on context when she or he is not familiar with unusual kinds of structure-talk that I find indispensable.

Silvia Berruto – TRANSCEND Media Service,
19 Jul 2021
Silvia Berruto: Perché camminare? Qual è il senso del cammino?
Lorenzo Guadagnucci: Il senso del cammino, dal punto di vista personale, è un modo per testimoniare con più forza, col corpo, con la fatica, il fatto di credere in quello che si fa. È una forma di affermazione anche dei propri convincimenti per se stessi» e per chi è esterno. «C’è anche un valore comunicativo verso l’esterno». Il cammino è più forte delle sole parole.

13 Jul 2021 – Yesterday Cuba’s President Miguel Díaz-Canel told a press conference that Cuba is facing serious shortages of food and medicine. “What is the origin of all these issues? It is the blockade.” If the U.S.-imposed blockade ended, many of the great challenges facing Cuba would lift.

18 Jul 2021 – Measurements of the carbon dioxide content of the earth’s atmosphere as a function of time have been made ever since 1958 at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, the “Keeling Curve”.
