We're still very much in shock here at the @iobua.bsky.social: the Flemish government decided to cut all of our our core-funding, with only 3 months of financing left (and after a particularly positive evaluation of our institute) #saveIOB blog.uantwerpen.be/iob/iob-unde...

His study on the M23 conflict in Eastern #DRCongo shows that minerals fuel violence, but that the roots lie in exclusion, discrimination, and politics.

Why Hasn’t Joseph Kony Been Caught?
