The celebration of South Africa's 30 years of democracy through film focuses on a significant milestone in the country's journey towards reconciliation and progress. The end of apartheid unleashed a surge of creativity in the film industry, providing filmmakers with newfound freedom to explore diverse narratives and perspectives. Cinema, as a powerful medium of expression, has played a pivotal role in shaping the national identity and fostering dialogue on social issues. Through storytelling, South African filmmakers have confronted the legacies of apartheid, celebrated the resilience of the human spirit, and advocated for a more inclusive society. As the nation continues to navigate its complex history and identity, cinema remains a vital tool for reflection, reconciliation, and envisioning a brighter future. #SouthAfrica #DemocracyCelebration #FilmIndustry #SocialChange #Identity #Inclusion #CinemaReflections https://lnkd.in/eVZJgu76

Why Arab World doesn't execute its fuel blocking experience after about one year slaughtering of Palestinians? During the major Arab-Israeli conflicts in the 20th century, such as the 1967 Six-Day War and the 1973 Yom Kippur War, several Arab nations enacted oil embargoes and fuel blockades as a strategic weapon against Israel and its allies. The most significant example was the 1973 oil crisis, where the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC) led by Saudi Arabia imposed an embargo on oil exports to the United States, Canada, Japan, and several Western European countries. This was done in response to the West's support for Israel during the Yom Kippur War. The goals of these Arab oil and fuel blockades were multifaceted: Economic pressure - The aim was to inflict economic damage on Israel and its allies by restricting their access to critical energy supplies. Political leverage - The fuel blockades were intended to compel Western governments to reconsider their pro-Israel foreign policies. Disruption of military operations - Restricting fuel availability was seen as a way to undermine Israel's military capabilities and war efforts. The Arab oil embargo of 1973 in particular had a major global impact, leading to an energy crisis, skyrocketing oil prices, and economic recession in many countries. This demonstrated the substantial geopolitical leverage the Arab states could wield through controlling vital energy resources. However, the long-term effectiveness of these fuel blockades as a strategic weapon was limited. Israel was eventually able to find alternative sources of fuel, and the global backlash against the embargoes also damaged the Arab states' international standing and relationships. Overall, the experience highlighted the importance of energy security and the potential for oil and fuel to be used as political and economic weapons, especially in protracted regional conflicts like the Arab-Israeli dispute.

Climate Reality Leader, Instigator of Fund Your Mother, TEDxStockholm & Kids Hack Day. Born at 348 ppm
Check out this video by our director. The level of horror and trauma kids around the world are undergoing today is just horrific. According to data from Save The Children 1 out of 6 children in the world today live in a conflict zone and the number of children reported killed in Gaza in just three weeks has surpassed the annual number of children killed across the world's conflict zones since 2019. #endgenocide now! Apart from Gaza here’s the list of the 10 worst places to live as a child today https://lnkd.in/dH8ED4cX 1. AFGHANISTAN 2. DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO 3. SYRIA 4. YEMEN 5. SOMALIA 6. MALI 7. NIGERIA 8. CAMEROON 9. SUDAN 10. CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC
Two years ago I was in Lebanon making a film for Save the Children. That film is frighteningly relevant today, as so many people are fleeing and experiencing the horrors of war. I send my thoughts to all the people affected and to the wonderful friends I made while I was there. I hope that you and your loved ones are safe.
