Bally Bagayoko presented the launch of the Hip-Hop and Urban Cultures Festival of the New Town of Saint-Denis–Pierrefitte-sur-Seine as an evening focused on creation, commitment, and hope. He said that the city aimed to maintain a strong cultural ambition despite a difficult political and social context, which weakened local communities and tested cultural policies. He described culture as a right and a means of emancipation, and hip-hop and urban cultures as spaces for expression, encounter, and solidarity. According to him, the evening also allowed for affirming support for the mobilization of high school students on October 17. Bagayoko advocated for a convergence of struggles and generations around social justice, equality, dignity, and access to culture. #HipHop #CulturesUrbaines #SaintDenis #PierrefitteSurSeine #CulturePourToutesEtTous #Jeunesse #ConvergenceDesLuttes #FaireRenaîtreLEspoir #HipHop #CulturesUrbaines #Culture (translated)

Marine Le Pen is addressing an audience that has been won over when she claims she wants to reduce taxation, particularly on the transfer of farms, or that she wants to slow down Ukraine's accession to the European Union so that it doesn't capture a significant share of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), or when she promises to ease restrictions on water storage. #SommetDelElevage #Agriculture #ElectionPresidentielle (translated)

Etienne Marcuz wrote that the strategic oceanic force had conducted a launch of an M51.3 missile that very morning from the nuclear submarine Le Vigilant. According to him, this launch validated the ship's return to operational cycle after three years of maintenance and constituted the first operational launch of the M51.3 from a submarine. He specified that the launch in November 2023 was a qualification test conducted from the DGA land test center. Marcuz indicated that he created an infographic with CalvaireDrach, presenting the stages of the launch, from the transmission of the order to the impact of the re-entry vehicles — without their nuclear payload — in the Atlantic Ocean, 4,700 kilometers west of the launch area. He explained that the diagram was based on American documents and that differences might exist between the French M51 and the American Trident II D5 systems, even though their general principles were common. He added that the technical details concerned were protected by confidentiality and requested that CalvaireDrach be credited in case of reuse of the infographic. #M51 #Missile #ForceOcéaniqueStrategique (translated)

David Lisnard believed that the competition among Chinese high school students was part of a global competition among students, to which artificial intelligence was also added. He called for the video to be shown to high school students, their parents, commentators, and policymakers. He specified that it was not about imitating China or South Korea, where he had observed a work ethic and rigor that he deemed remarkable, but rather about placing discipline, effort, demand, and merit at the center of the educational system. He also advocated for respect for adults, the transmission of knowledge, and certain traditions, institutions, and the country. According to him, the situation was urgent and engaged the future of the nation, society, and civilization. #Éducation #Compétition #IA (translated)

In the coming years, 9 trillion euros will be transmitted from one generation to another. Let's tax this great transmission to finance ecological transformation, not to replace the contribution of employers as proposed by Raphaël Glucksmann! https://t.co/BFCjsUSmVi #Héritage #Écologie #Fiscalité #FR (translated)

I just read in detail the 2027 finance bill that was submitted this morning by the Prime Minister ✅ Let's overlook the fact that the proposed savings are clearly insufficient. What I noted regarding taxation: • No general increase in capital taxation • No direct attack concerning the PEA • No change regarding the Exit Tax (and this is what interested me the most) • Reduction of 30% of the exceptional surtax on large companies (positive for the large groups concerned, including several companies in the CAC 40) • No new tax or tightening announced specifically targeting wealth management holdings • Indexation of the income tax scale to inflation • No cuts to the Dutreil pact (business transmission) • No increase in donation/succession rights (but no decrease either) • Several measures favorable to the transmission and productive investment of businesses We will now have to remain vigilant about the modifications that could be made by parliamentarians, But in any case, the Government's proposal remains quite timid regarding tax increases, which is an excellent thing ✅ #Fiscalité #Économie #DroitFiscal (translated)

Africa Daily Report — 1 October 2026 Major developments reported during the previous 24 hours 1. Kenya / East Africa — $16 billion Dangote refinery breaks ground in Lamu. Five African heads of state joined the groundbreaking of Dangote Group's planned $16 billion refinery in Lamu. The plant is designed to process 700,000 barrels per day and is expected to take about 40 months to complete. It is intended to reduce East Africa's dependence on imported refined petroleum, but the project still faces land-rights litigation and environmental concerns. Importance: VERY HIGH — the project could materially reshape East African fuel supply, trade flows, infrastructure investment and regional industrialisation. Direct source: https://apnews.com/article/a0ae7108ae4f4144222aea101baed3a5 2. South Africa — Ramaphosa announces response to gender-based violence. President Cyril Ramaphosa announced additional measures after the discovery of multiple murdered women in Ekurhuleni. Measures include a 60-day local-government safety audit and reviews of unresolved murder, rape and other gender-based-violence cases. Police have not established that the recent killings were committed by a single perpetrator. Importance: VERY HIGH — gender-based violence remains a major public-safety and criminal-justice challenge in South Africa. Direct source: https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/violence-against-women-south-africa-is-national-shame-president-says-2026-09-30/ 3. DR Congo — Mistrust complicates Ebola response after politician killed. Congolese politician Marie-Célestin Karondwa was killed after publicly supporting the government's Ebola response, according to AP. The killing illustrates the severe community mistrust confronting health authorities as the Bundibugyo-virus outbreak continues. Congo has recorded more than 8,000 confirmed infections and nearly 4,000 deaths in the current outbreak. Importance: CRITICAL — the combination of rapid transmission, very high mortality, insecurity and resistance to health measures poses a major regional public-health risk. Direct source: https://apnews.com/article/1ff629474298a62db44438c6eb178270 4. Zambia — Government opens talks with IMF on a new programme. Zambia began discussions with a visiting IMF mission on a successor lending programme. The country's previous $1.7 billion IMF arrangement expired in January, and Lusaka wants a new agreement before year-end. The IMF mission is scheduled to remain through October 10. Importance: HIGH — a new IMF programme could affect Zambia's fiscal policy, investment environment and economic strategy after its sovereign-debt restructuring. Direct source: https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/zambia-starts-talks-with-visiting-imf-mission-new-loan-programme-2026-09-30/ 5. South Africa / United States — Pretoria summons US ambassador. South Africa's foreign ministry summoned US Ambassador Leo Brent Bozell III over what it described as “undiplomatic conduct.” It was the third such summons in nine months, reflecting continuing strain in bilateral relations.

Direct source: https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/south-africa-summons-us-ambassador-again-over-undiplomatic-conduct-official-says-2026-09-30/ 6. South Africa — Anti-immigration protests held in Durban. Hundreds of demonstrators marched in Durban calling for more deportations of undocumented migrants and tighter border controls. The demonstration comes amid heightened tensions over migration and previous violence against foreign nationals. Authorities did not recognise an ultimatum previously issued by organisers demanding that undocumented migrants leave the country.

New WHO surveillance data show that reported cholera deaths globally rose by about 30% in 2025 despite fewer reported cases. The African Region experienced a particularly sharp deterioration: reported cases increased by 34% and deaths by 58%. Angola, DR Congo, Nigeria, South Sudan and Sudan were among seven countries accounting for roughly 90% of reported global cases and deaths. Importance: VERY HIGH — the figures highlight persistent weaknesses in water, sanitation, surveillance and access to timely treatment across several African states. Direct source: https://allafrica.com/stories/202609300113.html 8. Zambia — New cholera outbreak reaches 304 cases and 11 deaths. Zambian health authorities reported 304 cholera cases across seven districts in five provinces as of September 29, with 11 deaths. Lusaka was among the affected areas.

Importance: HIGH — Zambia only recently ended its previous outbreak, making renewed transmission a significant public-health concern. Direct source: https://www.mwebantu.com/11-die-as-cholera-hits-seven-districts-in-five-provinces-says-ministry-of-health/ 9. Burkina Faso — Country opens its first gold refinery. Burkina Faso inaugurated its first domestic gold refinery, RAFFINOR-BF, in Ouagadougou. The facility cost more than 11 billion CFA francs and has an initial annual refining capacity of about 164 tonnes, with plans for substantial expansion. The project is intended to retain more value from the country's gold production through domestic refining, certification and processing. Importance: HIGH — the refinery is part of a wider African trend toward local mineral beneficiation and greater domestic control of commodity value chains. Direct source: https://apnews.com/article/f39f714232e1784bb5051cdf44f0b992 10. Zimbabwe — Helicopter crash reported with six people aboard. A helicopter carrying four passengers and two crew members crashed in Zimbabwe's Marondera district southeast of Harare. Government and police officials said initial information indicated there were no survivors. Authorities had not immediately released all identities or a cause for the crash.

Je ne suis pas chrétien. Et pourtant, la visite de Léon XIV en France me touche. Elle me touche d'abord parce que je vois chez ce Pape quelque chose qui me semble profondément en résonance avec notre époque : la volonté de regarder en face les immenses bouleversements scientifiques et technologiques qui nous font face. J'avais eu la chance d'échanger avec le Pape François sur l'IA. Il m'avait parlé du « vertige » que lui inspirait cette révolution, dont il avait très tôt perçu la portée. Je trouve passionnant de voir Léon XIV poursuivre cette réflexion et placer à son tour la révolution technologique au cœur de sa pensée. Et cela me parle. Car plus la science et la technologie repoussent les frontières du possible, plus une question très ancienne revient avec force : qu'allons-nous faire de cette puissance ? Et surtout, où voulons-nous aller ? Et puis il y a quelque chose de plus personnel. Léon XIV est un fils spirituel de saint Augustin. Et Augustin était un enfant de cette terre d'Afrique du Nord où je suis né, en Algérie. Il y a là un fil invisible qui traverse les siècles et la Méditerranée et qui, forcément, me touche. Enfin, il y a eu cette foule immense, place de la Concorde et à Lourdes. Au-delà de la foi de chacun, je crois qu'elle nous dit quelque chose de la France. Nous avons passé des décennies à chercher des réponses économiques, sociales, institutionnelles à notre malaise collectif. Elles sont indispensables. Mais peut-être avons-nous oublié une dimension plus profonde : un pays ne vit pas seulement de ce qu'il possède. Il vit aussi de ce qui le dépasse. Oui, une civilisation a besoin de prospérité, de science et de progrès. Mais elle a aussi besoin de transmission, de sacré, de racines, d'espérance, d'un horizon commun. Appelez cela religion, spiritualité, transcendance, civilisation ou simplement besoin de sens. Français et musulman, je n'ai aucun mal à reconnaître dans la France la fille aînée de l'Église. Pas plus que je n'oublie qu'elle s'est construite, siècle après siècle, en sachant aussi accueillir, intégrer et faire siens des apports venus d'ailleurs. Ces deux histoires ne s'opposent pas. Elles sont la France. En regardant Léon XIV et ces foules rassemblées, je me demande si ce Pape n'est pas venu réveiller quelque chose que nous pensions avoir perdu. Et dont, peut-être, la France avait terriblement besoin. #LéonXIV #Spiritualité #Technologie

✝️ Il y a des images qui dépassent l’actualité. Le pape, penché vers une enfant. Puis seul, à genoux devant la Vierge, dans le silence de la grotte. Deux images qui disent quelque chose de profond : la transmission, la foi, l’humilité, l’espérance. La France a changé. Elle doute parfois d’elle-même, de son histoire, de ce qu’elle peut encore transmettre. Mais il suffit de regarder nos clochers, nos cathédrales, nos chapelles, les croix au bord des chemins, les noms de nos villages et les fêtes qui rythment encore notre calendrier pour se souvenir d’où nous venons. Pendant des siècles, le christianisme a façonné nos paysages, notre art, notre langue, nos traditions et une part immense de notre imaginaire collectif. On peut croire ou ne pas croire. Mais on ne peut pas comprendre pleinement la France en effaçant cette part de son histoire. Ces images nous rappellent que les racines ne sont pas un poids : elles sont ce qui permet à un peuple de tenir debout et de transmettre quelque chose à ceux qui viennent après lui. Une nation qui sait d’où elle vient peut encore savoir où elle va. #foi #histoire #culture

Dass neben Novak Djokovic, Joshua Kimmich und Granit Xhaka nun offenbar auch Breel Embolo davon absah, sich inmitten des aufgeheizten Corona-Fiaskos eine umstrittene neuartige Substanz in den Körper injizieren zu lassen, signalisiert wohl eine bislang verkannte Qualität der zuständigen Ärzte: Mediziner, die sich verantwortungsbewußt um ihre Profisportler sorgten, haben ihnen anscheinend hinreichend aufmerksam vermittelt, was über die weltneuen Arzneimittel in den Zulassungspapieren bekannt war. Das objektive Fehlen eines medikamentös beabsichtigten Transmissionsschutzes der Inokulationen war von Anfang an bekannt; der gesamte Hass auf Ungeimpfte und die Hetze gegen besser Informierte ("Pandemie der Ungeimpften") entbehrte faktisch jeder Grundlage; sämtliche rechtslogisch auf dieser Prämissen-Attrappe aufbauenden Folgerungen schwebten juristisch im Nichts. Wer das damals noch nicht erkannt haben sollte, sollte spätestens jetzt - knapp sechs Jahre nach dem Exzess - in der Lage sein, sich von seinen Irrtümern zu befreien. In diesem Kontext aktuell noch (medizinisch und juristisch ebenso sachwidrig wie emotional durchsichtig) von "Betrug" zu reden, ist schlichtweg eine Entgleisung. https://t.co/QBNjMoOMOV #Corona #Impfung #Gesundheit
