Italy's ambassador to DR Congo killed in attack on UN convoy

Italy’s ambassador to the Democratic Republic of Congo, his bodyguard, and a driver from the UN World Food Programme were killed on Monday in the east of the country after their convoy was attacked.

The deaths of the ambassador, Luca Attanasio, 43, Italian military policeman Vittorio Iacovacci, 30, and a Congolese driver, whose name has not been released, were confirmed by the Italian government.

"When we heard gunshots we did not know what had happened we went to the scene they had just kidnapped the ambassador, they took him into the bush and immediately they clashed with the park guards," one witness, who did not give his name, told Africanews.


"They managed to shoot the ambassador, they shot a driver, and the ambassador's security officer died.

"And then suddenly the FARDC (DRC armed forces) went there and they managed to save the ambassador to take him to Goma for intensive care."

Several others have been reported as wounded and have been taken to hospital.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack but many armed groups are known to operate in and around the nearby Virunga park.

The killings in North Kivu province occurred in the same region where two British tourists were briefly kidnapped in 2018.

Monday's ambush occurred as the convoy was travelling from Goma, Congo's eastern regional capital, to visit a World Food Program (WFP) school project in Rutshuru, the UN agency said.

The WFP said the attack occurred on a road that had been cleared previously for travel without security escorts, and it was seeking more information from local officials on the attack.

Tunisian Youth Took to the Streets of Tunis in Protest of the Police

Several hundred young people took to the streets of the Tunisian capital on Saturday in protest of perceived government "corruption” and “police repression" as they also demanded the "release of the sons of the nation" — in reference to over a thousand people arrested during several nights of demonstrations leading to violent clashes in mid-January. A series of rallies which coincided with the tenth anniversary of the revolution that brought down Zine El Abidine Ben Ali on January 14, 2011 — after 23 years in power. https://linktr.ee/evcase http://www.webestools.com/profile-89355.html https://c.mi.com/thread-2893752-3-1.html http://www.astro.wisc.edu/?URL=https://www.legitpedia.com/9xmovies-download-free-bollywood-hd-movies/ https://blog.ss-blog.jp/_pages/mobile/step/index?u=https://www.legitpedia.com/9xmovies-download-free-bollywood-hd-movies/ http://sound2sense.archiveweb.mus.cam.ac.uk/?URL=https://www.legitpedia.com/9xmovies-download-free-bollywood-hd-movies...

‘Shoplifters of the World’ Review 2021

Image
“Shoplifters of the World,” a loving gift to superfans of the English band The Smiths, is, we are told at the beginning, “based on true intentions.” I can’t argue with that: Written and directed by Stephen Kijak (who made the fantastic 2008 documentary “Scott Walker: 30 Century Man”), this sweetly nostalgic look at lost boys and lonely girls feels like it comes straight from the heart. https://9xmovies1.tumblr.com/ https://newasiantv.tumblr.com/ https://toxicwap2021.tumblr.com/ https://fzmoviesdownload.tumblr.com/ https://fztvseries1.tumblr.com/ https://paragraphsforher.wordpress.com/ https://happybirthdayparagraph.tumblr.com/ It’s the summer of 1987 and four friends in Denver, Colo., have just learned that their favourite band, The Smiths, has broken up. Like their idols, the teens are romantic and earnest, confused and occasionally pretentious. Cleo (Helena Howard), weary of her supermarket checkout job, dreams of escaping to France; Sheila (Elena Kampouris) desperately wants to ...

Giuliani says he's working on Trump's impeachment defense

President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani tells ABC News he's working as part of the president's defense team in his upcoming second impeachment trial -- and that he's prepared to argue that the president's claims of widespread voter fraud did not constitute an incitement to violence because the widely-debunked claims are true. "I'm involved right now … that's what I'm working on," Giuliani told ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl. A few hours later, Giuliani -- who led the president's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results -- was spotted at the White House. Giuliani's involvement in Trump's impeachment defense comes as many of the lawyers involved in the president's first impeachment, including White House counsel Pat Cipollone and his deputies and outside lawyers Jay Sekulow and Jane and Marty Raskin, do not plan to return for the second trial. https://www.sbnation.com/users/LongParagra...
