    'Ecureuils' ('Squirrels') Accupy Again Trees To Be Cut In Protest Against The Planned A69 Highway
    'Ecureuils' set up their encampment in one of the plane trees to be cut in Vendine. Since 3 a.m. this morning, four 'Ecureuils' (i.e., 'squirrels') from the GNSA ('National Group of Trees Watching' founded by Thomas Brail, the activist and arborist-climber) occupy two plane trees in Vendine, Haute-Garonne, to block their cutting for works on the planned A69 highway between Toulouse, Haute-Garonne, and Castres, Tarn. They deploy a banner on Article 2 of the constitutional law about preserving the environment. Initially, only two plane trees are to be cut, but finally, about 10 plane trees will be cut. 'Ecureuils' plan to stay until NGE/Atosca explains the necessity of the cutting and consider going on trial about these planned cuttings. The concessionaire of the A69, NGE/Atosca, repeatedly says that all trees have already been cut for the A69. The main association 'La Voie est Libre' (i.e., 'The Way is Free') and other opponents want the building of the highway to be stopped until all the justice decisions on the content are given. Opponents of this project say that the reprofiling of the N126 will be sufficient for the 6,000 vehicles planned per day and would cost far less money. The A69 highway will cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros without inflation) for 54 kilometers. Toulouse, Vendine, France, on August 28, 2025. (Photo by Alain Pitton/NurPhoto)

They deploy a banner on Article 2 of the constitutional law about preserving the environment. Initially, only two plane trees are to be cut, but finally, about 10 plane trees will be cut. 'Ecureuils' plan to stay until NGE/Atosca explains the necessity of the cutting and consider going on trial about these planned cuttings. The concessionaire of the A69, NGE/Atosca, repeatedly says that all trees have already been cut for the A69. The main association 'La Voie est Libre' (i.e., 'The Way is Free') and other opponents want the building of the highway to be stopped until all the justice decisions on the content are given. Opponents of this project say that the reprofiling of the N126 will be sufficient for the 6,000 vehicles planned per day and would cost far less money. The A69 highway will cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros without inflation) for 54 kilometers. (Photo by Alain Pitton/NurPhoto)

     

  • Akyaaba Addai-Sebo: the shocking conversation that led him to start UK Black History Month

    Akyaaba Addai-Sebo: the shocking conversation that led him to start UK Black History Month
    In the mid-1980s he invited Angela Davis, Winnie Mandela, Jesse Jackson and Ray Charles to talk to communities across the country. Thus began an enormous, ongoing, consciousness-changing event.

    One morning in late 1985, Akyaaba Addai-Sebo walked into work and had a casual conversation with a colleague that would change the trajectory of British society. Then 35 years old, he was working at the Greater London Council (GLC) as a coordinator of special projects in the Ethnic Minorities Unit.

    "Elizabeth, the secretary of the principal race relations adviser Ansel Wong, came to work looking very downcast," he recalls. "I asked her: 'Elizabeth, What's wrong?' She said: 'Last night I was putting my son Marcus to bed and he asked, 'Why can't I be white?' As she told me the story, she was crying. 'I named my son after Marcus Garvey,' Elizabeth told me, 'And here he is, just six years old questioning his identity. I’ve failed my son.'"

    Addai-Sebo responded: "No, you haven't failed your son. The national curriculum, local authorities, churches and the institutions - they have failed your son. Not only your son. They've failed all children growing up in this country."

    "I decided that every child growing up in the UK must have an appreciation and an understanding of Africa, Africans, people of African descent - their contributions to world civilisations from antiquity to the present, and especially to the growth and development of the UK and Europe."

Then 35 years old, he was working at the Greater London Council (GLC) as a coordinator of special projects in the Ethnic Minorities Unit.

    "Elizabeth, the secretary of the principal race relations adviser Ansel Wong, came to work looking very downcast," he recalls. "I asked her: 'Elizabeth, What's wrong?' She said: 'Last night I was putting my son Marcus to bed and he asked, 'Why can't I be white?' As she told me the story, she was crying. 'I named my son after Marcus Garvey,' Elizabeth told me, 'And here he is, just six years old questioning his identity. I’ve failed my son.'"

    Addai-Sebo responded: "No, you haven't failed your son. The national curriculum, local authorities, churches and the institutions - they have failed your son. Not only your son. They've failed all children growing up in this country."

    "I decided that every child growing up in the UK must have an appreciation and an understanding of Africa, Africans, people of African descent - their contributions to world civilisations from antiquity to the present, and especially to the growth and development of the UK and Europe."

    Akyaaba Addai-Sebo: the shocking conversation that led him to start UK Black History Month
    In the mid-1980s he invited Angela Davis, Winnie Mandela, Jesse Jackson and Ray Charles to talk to communities across the country. Thus began an enormous, ongoing, consciousness-changing event.

    One morning in late 1985, Akyaaba Addai-Sebo walked into work and had a casual conversation with a colleague that would change the trajectory of British society. Then 35 years old, he was working at the Greater London Council (GLC) as a coordinator of special projects in the Ethnic Minorities Unit.

    Brazil's first-ever minister for Indigenous peoples Sonia Guajajara: 'It is time for the world to look at our way of life'
    Sonia Guajajara rose from poverty to become one of Brazil's most formidable politicians. She talks about battling farmers, miners and land grabbers - and why technology is not the answer to the climate crisis.

    Just days after a groundbreaking supreme court victory, Sonia Guajajara, Brazil's first minister for Indigenous peoples, has a new target in her sights.

    She is preparing to oppose efforts in the Brazilian parliament, backed by the agricultural business lobby, to reinstate the controversial "time limit" ("marco temporal"). This legal doctrine established restrictions for Indigenous land claims, and so favoured farmers, miners and land grabbers. The decision to abolish the time limit bolstered the Indigenous campaign for land rights in Brazil and Latin America.

    But opposition quickly escalated, with senate committee members hastening discussions to re-establish the doctrine in law.

    If that happens, it would mean Indigenous communities will only be able to claim rights to lands occupied or requested as of 5 October 1988.

    Sonia Guajajara (Sônia Bone de Souza Silva Santosusually) the Brazilian Minister of Indigenous Peoples.

  • Brazil's first-ever minister for Indigenous peoples Sonia Guajajara: 'It is time for the world to look at our way of life'

    Brazil's first-ever minister for Indigenous peoples Sonia Guajajara: 'It is time for the world to look at our way of life'
    Sonia Guajajara rose from poverty to become one of Brazil's most formidable politicians. She talks about battling farmers, miners and land grabbers - and why technology is not the answer to the climate crisis.

    Just days after a groundbreaking supreme court victory, Sonia Guajajara, Brazil's first minister for Indigenous peoples, has a new target in her sights.

    She is preparing to oppose efforts in the Brazilian parliament, backed by the agricultural business lobby, to reinstate the controversial "time limit" ("marco temporal"). This legal doctrine established restrictions for Indigenous land claims, and so favoured farmers, miners and land grabbers. The decision to abolish the time limit bolstered the Indigenous campaign for land rights in Brazil and Latin America.

    But opposition quickly escalated, with senate committee members hastening discussions to re-establish the doctrine in law.

    If that happens, it would mean Indigenous communities will only be able to claim rights to lands occupied or requested as of 5 October 1988.
