sofisia7 Like Kora, I understand what a journey takes from you and what it gives in return. There is something that happens when you remove yourself from your country of origin that is very powerful, I don’t feel a sense of belonging to a territory. But at the same time, I feel such a strong sense of being part of this earth and a connection to it as a whole. I’m infinitely grateful for this journey. I do not take it for granted. So to everything and everyone that lead me this unforgettable experience THANK YOU - From Bab-El-Oued (Algeria) to LA my heart is with all the kids with a dream in their hearts ♥️

Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 To The Most Hottest & Alluring Talented Algerian Actress, Dancer & Model On The Planet

Hailing All The Way From Algiers, Algeria 🇩🇿

She was born in the Bab El Oued district of Algiers, Algeria, to an architect mother and a jazz musician father, Safy Boutella. Her brother, Seif, works as a visual effects artist in the entertainment industry. Her surname means "the men of the mountains". She was raised in a fairly secular household that cultivated artistic expression and creativity. She described her childhood as a happy one, stating that she was "blessed to be born into a family that allowed me to express myself, to be myself and let out all sorts of colours that were living in my imagination and in my heart."

Her breakthrough as a dancer came in 2007, when she was picked for the Jamie King choreography for Nike Women's "Keep Up" campaign, serving as a role model of femininity and hip-hop. This was a major boost to her career and led to more work alongside stars like Madonna, in her Confessions Tour, and Rihanna. She credits her work with Madonna for helping her learn English.

She successfully auditioned for the Michael Jackson This Is It concerts but could not attend due to the extension of the Madonna tour, whose dates coincided with the Jackson tour. She was the main character in the music video for "Hollywood Tonight" by Michael Jackson in February 2011.

2014, after 12 years as a dancer, She sought a career in acting. Initially, she purposefully avoided auditioning for lead roles, wishing to play supporting characters so as to learn from more experienced actors. In 2015, she appeared in her first major film, Kingsman: The Secret Service, which jump-started her career as an actress. One year later, she appeared as the alien warrior Jaylah in Star Trek Beyond, released on 22 July 2016.

In 2017, she portrayed a French secret agent in the David Leitch film Atomic Blonde, which also featured Charlize Theron, James McAvoy, John Goodman and Toby Jones.

The same year, she played the titular role in

Não era o seu objetivo voltar para a cidade. Na verdade, estava longe que querer isso. Prometeu que não voltaria. Mas lá estava ele, pegando um táxi na cidade que ele um dia amou, mas que nunca o amou de volta.

Era impossível tentar controlar os batimentos acelerados a cada prédio conhecido que ele via, especialmente porque sabia que estava cada vez mais próximo dela. Quando Jason o ligou contando sobre a situação toda do Batman, Dick não levou a sério. Jason não havia mencionado sobre Damian, sabe-se lá o porquê, então Dick não viu urgência. O Batman maluco? Alucinado e ameaçando matar os mal-feitores de Gotham? Desde que se entendia por gente Dick ouvia aquelas palavras. O Batman era a sombra de terror e raiva que havia em Bruce, assim como o Robin era um eco da raiva que Dick guardava do mundo. Era exatamente por isso que ele prometeu não ter o Robin nunca mais. Era por isso que Nightwing nascera, e era por isso que Dick havia saído de Gotham.

Mas aí Barbara o ligou e explicou tudo, de verdade. Damian havia morrido, e morrido de verdade. Dick podia entender… A morte de Damian, somado a morte de Jason e toda a sua transformação seguinte, e também com todo o ataque contra Barbara, podia ser demais para um homem que se culpava de tudo. Agora Dick entendia, e sabia que precisava voltar. Sabia que precisava estar com Bruce e tentar entender e mudar o que estava acontecendo. Primeiro, porém, ele precisava enfrentar seus próprios medos: o reencontro com Barbara.

O táxi parou na frente da enorme biblioteca que ela trabalhava, e Dick sorriu com as memórias que imediatamente infiltraram a sua mente. Os dois já haviam passado tanto tempo ali, que ele perdera as contas…

Entrou na enorme estrutura, os olhos claros imediatamente escaneando o lugar a procura de Barbara, e é claro que a encontrou próxima a uma das estantes, distraída com os títulos. ❝Você não cansa mesmo desse lugar, não é, Babs?❞ disse, em um tom carinhoso, o sorriso escapando nos lábios. Talvez fosse um puro saudosismo ou as longas noites solitárias que ele passava trabalhando em Detroit, mas ele genuinamente achava que ela havia ficado mais bonita durante o tempo que ficava sem vê-la. ❝Tem um tempinho para mim?❞

Happy Independence Day to my beloved Algeria.

Allah yarham chouhada.

Translation of the testimony of a man who lived through that day as a child.

“July 5th 1962: The independence of Algeria. What can I say: the joy in the streets, people colonized for 132 years gaining back their freedom… I was a kid of the Casbah, I was 12 back then. The moment was crazy and filled with euphoria. The French of Algeria (colonizers) had started to leave in May and they were leaving faster now. For them it was “A coffin or a suitcase”(1). They didn’t see it any other way. Bab El Oued, Michelet street and Isly street(2) were emptied of their residents. During the last days, they were panicking. The “yes” had gotten 99,72% to the referendum of July 1st, the first loyal voting process in 132 years(3).

For at least 10 days, Algiers wasn’t a city anymore but an endless party. Women were not talking anymore we only heard their zagharit(4) all day long. Children were children again. The older ones too. There was a sort of happy anarchy. It was a permanent happiness, an event I will never forget even if I was to lose my mind. After the constant persecutions, the constant fear and nightmares, it was like a divine revelation and a new birth.

They (the French colonizers) called us Muslims, Arabs, savages(5) but never Algerians. The Arabs who were barbaric, lazy and filled with excessive pride. The contempt from the Europeans and the humiliations made the Algerian into a bad guy, a rebel, a revolutionary filled with the desire for freedom and justice.

Being able to live without that fear, imagining that we were able to move freely, screaming our joy without having to justify ourselves it was something unheard of, it was almost unbelievable. They forbade us to be Algerians, strangers in our own land, us the b****, t**** d* f******, r*****, c********, s*****, b*********, (6) subhumans, on that day everything was allowed everything seemed possible.”

[…]

“The biggest joy was the return of my two brothers. They came back home alive and safe, in a free country after having be jailed in Serkadji and condemned to the death penalty.

During their absence, weapons and money was hidden under my parents’ bed. I always had a gun hidden in my school bag.

[…]

With armed friends we went in the European neighborhood, on the cars’ hoods, screaming happily “Tahia El Djazair” (long live to Algeria).

I actually hurt myself falling from a truck in Lyre street. July 5th 1962 will stay for me an unforgettable party. The historical festive atmosphere, cemented in my memory. Even with my mouth filled with blood and two broken tooth.”

Notes:

1: There a myth that the colonizers were threatened. There was some well deserved threats toward the ones who fought against the independence. The other ones were allowed to stay ONLY if they took the Algerian citizenship and considered Algerians as their equals. But they refused and left. They saw staying in Algeria with indigenous Algerians being equal to them as death.

2: The places named here were famous for having a very important population of colonizers. And like all colonizers they were very violent.

3: At the end of the war and to try to calm down the French colonizers a referendum for the independence of Algeria was organized. It was the first and only time all Algerians (actual Algerians) were allowed to vote and their vote were equal to white people’s vote.

4: He uses the word “Indigenes” which means indigenous or native but the French didn’t use it as a way to acknowledge we were indigenous to the land unlike them they used it a synonym for savage so that’s how I’m translating it.

5: zagharit are happy ululation we make during moments of happiness and joy (talking for Algeria specifically other SWANA countries do it for other reasons too).

6: Those are all anti Algerian slurs… when I say that France hates us. Who the fuck has that many slurs for ONE group of people only?! And they are not all on the list…

REVIEW: Case File Compendium/BingAnBen/BAB

AVISO: Contém SPOILERS, então, cuidado!

BAB foi uma viagem. Tem um ritmo de desenvolvimento de mundo muito bom até mais ou menos um tico depois do meio. Passando disso fica meio, hm, parado. Mas não é totalmente desanimador, só não dá mais aquela ansiedade extrema de saber mais da investigação e toda a organização criminosa do Plano Mandela. Além de que eu achei um tanto mal colocado toda a questão da ficção científica e tudo o mais. Creio que a Meatbun vacilou um pouco ali e que poderia ter tido uma desenvoltura mais cuidadosa. Talvez tenha faltado certo estímulo, não sei. Bom, fora tudo isso que falei, o que eu mais gostei foi sem dúvidas o trabalho com o emocional e o mental. Principalmente do Xie Qingcheng. Toda a visão dele próprio como pessoa, do mundo e de como ele tinha uma visão, um futuro em que se via como descartável para no final virar alguém que pensa: "eu sou querido, sou lembrado, sou amado" me encantam de verdade. A analogia dele sendo um ursinho remendado que ninguém iria querer me pegou tanto! Principalmente na narração do passado dele, de como ele se sentia um impostor quando voltou e teve aquela reação da Xie Xue. Por essa razão, até agora, depois de ler toda a novel, o capítulo 132 segue sendo o meu favorito e o que mais me pegou. Aquele "obrigado por voltar vivo" do He Yu foi algo que o Qingcheng sempre quis, mas nunca pode ter. Saber que ele fez bem em lutar, fez bem em persistir em viver e o quão feliz ele fez alguém da vida dele por não ter desistido e se submetido ao tratamento com RN-13, foi… lindo. De verdade. He Yu o fez pensar que a vida dele ainda tinha valor, que, apesar de ser um ursinho remendado, alguém ainda queria e estimava muito esse ursinho, mesmo com todos os cortes, remendos e partes trocadas. Esse ursinho ainda trazia conforto e ainda poderia ser amado. E ISSO É TUDINHO PRA MIM! CAP 132 DE BAB, EU SEMPRE VOU TE AMAR! Okay, okay. Seguindo.

Também até que gostei bastante do trabalho com o He Yu, mesmo achando que em algumas coisas teve certo vacilo por parte da autora, mas em geral ele é meu bebê dragão que me faz bater os pés com o quão amorzinho ele pode ser, nos extras principalmente! E, senhor! Amo, AMO o quão nojinho o He Yu pode ser! Ele é totalmente um jovem mestre, nunca deixou de ser! Concubina He e Dr.Xie realmente tem personalidades complementares, e eu acredito firmemente que, mesmo tentando, não se sentiriam completos com outras pessoas. Eles foram feitos para estar juntos! E, tipo, em todos os sentidos! O que falta no He Yu, Xie Qingcheng preenche e vice versa. Creio fortemente que esses dois discutem bastante e tem brigas por coisas ridículas. E isso me encanta, já que tenho certeza que eles vão estar num clima de amor no fim. EM RESUMO! Case File Compendium/BingAnBen/BAB é uma boa escolha de leitura para quem gosta da temática "mental, investigação e ficção". Recomendo se você verificou os gatilhos/tags e gosta de um casal "amor/ódio/TESÃO" KEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKE

Le plus grand orateur au monde est le pétrole africain !

Thème : Intérêts français et influence russe au Ghana Thomo : Le plus grand orateur au monde est le pétrole africain ; Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité. Brant écrit, à partir de quelques questions «L'attaque lâche et la mort tragique de Darya Dugina ont suscité partout des commentaires et des évaluations sur la pensée «dughinienne» et sur les effets politiques que l'attaque brutale pourrait avoir. Une attitude récurrente de la part des correspondants étrangers des journaux européens à Moscou (je cite El Pais mais ce n'est pas le seul cas) est celle d'attribuer le titre de "fasciste" à Alexandre Douguine. » dans la presse, que probablement l'expression radical appartient aussi à l'ordre des grandes unités signifiantes, qui correspondent à des sens globaux, répandus, latents, qui n'appartiennent pas à la même catégorie que les sens isolés et discontinus du langage articulé du Le radical démocrate Aleanz. Ou les passages de détroits tels que Bab el-Mandeb, Ormuz et Malacca, papiers décisifs de la fragilité de nos économies et de nos approvisionnements, toujours exposés à une pluie de risques structurels (il suffit de penser au blocus du canal de Suez) et d'averses géopolitiques dicté par l'énorme trafic de navires, la piraterie et les troubles politiques. Mais cette opposition entre une micro-sémantique et une macro-sémantique pourrait peut-être constituer une autre façon de considérer l'Afrique comme un radical républicain, abandonnant le plan du cimeterre… pour passer au plan de l'AFR africaine, c'est-à-dire à celui de la significations, répandues, dans toutes les voies marxistes de l'ANC. Mais il conviendrait, à ce stade, de s'inspirer des modèles rhétoriques (et non plus littéralement des Républicains français) isolés de la politique actuelle et de la visite française en Afrique, la République française, Emmanuel Macron, ajoutant que désormais la France être « un interlocuteur neutre » des pays africains. Depuis Libreville, capitale du Gabon et première étape d'une tournée (1-5 mars) qui comprend également l'Angola, le Congo et la République du Congo, le locataire de l'Elysée a annoncé le début d'une nouvelle politique africaine pour la France, … Il faut donc arriver à une véritable définition du désir qui montre, en même temps, la « faim et la vérité africaine est une priorité pour nous » dont la conscience est comme excavée dans le processus d'appétit de la contestation républicaine radicale. .AFR.

L’Église parle toutes les langues 19/05/2024

Ils furent tous remplis du Saint-Esprit et ils se mirent à parler en d’autres langues, selon ce que l’Esprit leur donnait d’énoncer. Actes 2.4

Le livre de la Genèse raconte l’histoire de la tour de Babel, où les gens parlaient la même langue (Genèse 11.1). Ils se mirent à construire une tour dont le sommet touche le ciel pour ne pas être dispersés. Comme ce serait beau si tous les gens du monde voulaient se donner la main !

Pourquoi si haut ? Le sens du mot Babel en langue locale de l’époque signifie : « bab » = porte, « EL » = dieu. Déjà, les gens du monde cherchaient à se faire dieu… De nos jours comme par le passé, nous avons là une image de toutes les civilisations voulant être indépendantes de Dieu. Le mot Babel pourrait venir d’une racine hébraïque signifiant « confusion » ou « brouillon ». Car c’est là que le Seigneur brouilla toute la terre, et c’est de là que le Seigneur les dispersa (Genèse 11.9).

Pentecôte est l’anti-Babel, où les barrières des langues ont été franchies ; comme un signe des temps nouveaux qui s’ouvraient¹. L’histoire nous dit que cela fut un miracle ponctuel.

Mais aujourd’hui, nous comprenons que désormais en Christ toutes les barrières raciales, culturelles et sociales tombent. C’est la nouvelle naissance par la foi. L’Esprit nous unit à Jésus, et fait de tous les croyants en Christ des frères et des sœurs d’une même famille spirituelle.

Willy Lehnherr

¹ Actes 2.5-13

__________________ Lecture proposée : Actes des Apôtres, chapitre 2, versets 1 à 26.

La Pentecôte: l’Esprit descend du ciel 1 Le jour de la Pentecôte, ils étaient tous ensemble dans le même lieu. 2 Tout à coup, il vint du ciel un bruit comme celui d’un vent impétueux, et il remplit toute la maison où ils étaient assis. 3 Des langues, semblables à des langues de feu, leur apparurent, séparées les unes des autres, et se posèrent sur chacun d’eux. 4 Et ils furent tous remplis du Saint-Esprit, et se mirent à parler en d’autres langues, selon que l’Esprit leur donnait de s’exprimer. 5 Or, il y avait en séjour à Jérusalem des Juifs, hommes pieux, de toutes les nations qui sont sous le ciel. 6 Au bruit qui eut lieu, la multitude accourut, et elle fut confondue parce que chacun les entendait parler dans sa propre langue. 7 Ils étaient tous dans l’étonnement et la surprise, et ils se disaient les uns aux autres : Voici, ces gens qui parlent ne sont-ils pas tous Galiléens ? 8 Et comment les entendons-nous dans notre propre langue à chacun, dans notre langue maternelle ? 9 Parthes, Mèdes, Elamites, ceux qui habitent la Mésopotamie, la Judée, la Cappadoce, le Pont, l’Asie, 10 la Phrygie, la Pamphylie, l’Égypte, le territoire de la Libye voisine de Cyrène, et ceux qui sont venus de Rome, Juifs et prosélytes, 11 Crétois et Arabes, comment les entendons-nous parler dans nos langues des merveilles de Dieu ? 12 Ils étaient tous dans l’étonnement, et, ne sachant que penser, ils se disaient les uns aux autres : Que veut dire ceci ? 13 Mais d’autres se moquaient, et disaient : Ils sont pleins de vin doux.

Discours de Pierre à la Pentecôte

14 Alors Pierre, se présentant avec les onze, éleva la voix, et leur parla en ces termes : Hommes Juifs, et vous tous qui séjournez à Jérusalem, sachez ceci, et prêtez l’oreille à mes paroles ! 15 Ces gens ne sont pas ivres, comme vous le supposez, car c’est la troisième heure du jour. 16 Mais c’est ici ce qui a été dit par le prophète Joël : 17 Dans les derniers jours, dit Dieu, je répandrai de mon Esprit sur toute chair ; Vos fils et vos filles prophétiseront, Vos jeunes gens auront des visions, Et vos vieillards auront des songes. 18 Oui, sur mes serviteurs et sur mes servantes, Dans ces jours-là, je répandrai de mon Esprit ; et ils prophétiseront. 19 Je ferai paraître des prodiges en haut dans le ciel et des miracles en bas sur la terre, Du sang, du feu, et une vapeur de fumée ; 20 Le soleil se changera en ténèbres, Et la lune en sang, Avant l’arrivée du jour du Seigneur, De ce jour grand [et glorieux]. 21 Alors quiconque invoquera le nom du Seigneur sera sauvé. 22 Hommes Israélites, écoutez ces paroles ! Jésus de Nazareth, cet homme à qui Dieu a rendu témoignage devant vous par les miracles, les prodiges et les signes qu’il a opérés par lui au milieu de vous, comme vous le savez vous-mêmes ; 23 cet homme, livré selon le dessein arrêté et selon la prescience de Dieu, vous l’avez crucifié, vous l’avez fait mourir par la main des impies. 24 Dieu l’a ressuscité, en le délivrant des liens de la mort, parce qu’il n’était pas possible qu’il soit retenu par elle. 25 Car David dit de lui : Je voyais constamment le Seigneur devant moi, Parce qu’il est à ma droite, afin que je ne sois point ébranlé. 26 Aussi mon cœur est dans la joie, et ma langue dans l’allégresse ; Et même ma chair reposera avec espérance, 27 Car tu n’abandonneras pas mon âme dans le séjour des morts, Et tu ne permettras pas que ton Saint voie la corruption.

[if-you-fan-a-fire]

"The Organisation de l’Armée Secrète (OAS) had no such scruples. With General Raoul Salan as its figurehead, this sinister alliance of diehard pieds noirs and mutinous paras and légionnaires turned to indiscriminate terrorism after the failure of its April 1961 uprising. With no real goal beyond the preservation of settler supremacy, its declared enemies included General de Gaulle himself, the security forces, Communists, peace activists (including Jean-Paul Sartre), and, especially, Algerian civilians. (Oddly enough, the OAS seldom confronted the FLN directly.) 

In order to disrupt the Evian peace talks between de Gaulle’s representatives and the Algerian leaders, the OAS launched a series of festivals de plastique (380 bombings throughout Algeria in July 1961 alone), using the 4132 kilos of plastic explosive and 1000 electric detonators that it boasted of having liberated from army arsenals. Chief of the OAS’s dreaded “Delta Commandos” was Roger Degueldre, a 36-year-old veteran of Dien Bien Phu who led 500 Légionnaire deserters and Algérie française ultras from his hiding place in the petit blanc district of Bab-el-Oued. In early 1962, as de Gaulle began to yield to FLN demands for complete independence, Salan declared “total war” and ordered Degueldre to unleash the Deltas against both Algeria and France.

….

Although the OAS was effectively decapitated in April 1962 with the arrests of Salan (codename: “The Sun”), Degueldre and other key leaders, the at-large middle leadership – les colonels – was even more fanatically fixated than the generals on provoking an Algerian Götterdämmerung. Their almost insane strategy was to massacre so many ordinary Muslims that the otherwise highly disciplined FLN would be forced to break its truce with French forces and retaliate massively against the pieds noirs. The OAS “bunker,” in other words, was deliberately fomenting a race war that they hoped might topple de Gaulle and lead to a “Rhodesian” or “Israeli” solution." - Mike Davis, Buda's Wagon: A Brief History of the Car Bomb. Verso, 2017 (2007). p. 42-43
