Malin Ekman wrote that men, according to her, had begun to adopt less flattering traits traditionally associated with women, especially men in public life. She argued that they moralized to maintain their place in social communities and pointed to Alex Schulman as an example. After Dagens Nyheter recruited him, he had, according to Ekman, repeated left-liberal positions already put forward by colleagues and expressed indignation over issues that fit within that environment. Most recently, he had reacted with disgust to support for Stefan Holm, who, according to Ekman, had attacked Schulman's friend in a bar after the friend had jokingly mentioned on TV eight years earlier about killing Holm and his son. Ekman described the mockery of Holm as typical of a community where people constantly judged who was accepted and who it was safe to mock. She argued that those who supported Holm did not necessarily defend his long-standing grievances or propensity for violence, but rather his right to stand up for himself and his family even when it went against prevailing notions of right and wrong. According to Ekman, they instead despised men like Schulman, whom she described as adaptable and prone to decide who could be ostracized. #mansfrågor #feminism #könsroller (translated)

Maria Carolina Gontijo compared what she called the arrogance of the defeated and victorious sides in the first round: according to her, the former insulted people they believed had voted against, while the latter presumed that all voters of FB fully supported him. She expressed disbelief in the two attitudes. #Eleições2024 #Política #Debate (translated)

Lucas Abriata announced that Carbriata 2027 would be held on February 27 and 28 at the Autódromo de Dolores, about two hours from Buenos Aires, with a presentation by Bybit. He said that the event would bring together 200 iconic cars, from Falcon and Ferrari models to rally and Turismo Carretera vehicles, and that the cars would circulate throughout the day so that the public could see and hear them up close. Abriata noted that the edition would have two track sections, measuring 1,100 and 700 meters, that would operate simultaneously, and that the cars could perform exhibitions there with no speed limit. He also announced a stage for launches, talks, and live auctions with no reserve price; a free space offered to car manufacturers to showcase new models; almost 10,000 square meters of shade tents, compared to 450 square meters in 2026; and at least five categories of awards. According to Abriata, both days would have similar schedules: Saturday would include more presentations and launches, while Sunday would feature the awards ceremony. He added that the venue would cover 100 hectares, that parking would be free, and that children under 12 would not pay admission. He also warned that there was a maximum capacity and that it would not be possible to expand the space if it filled up. The organizer said that the 2026 edition had left him with a lot of stress, but that it had been a very positive experience and had provided him with lessons that could be applied to the next edition. #Carbriata #EventoDeAutos #Argentina (translated)

David Boerstra wrote that Christianne van der Wal, in his opinion, symbolized the failure of Dutch politics. He pointed to a message that had been seen by nearly 50,000 people, but that, according to him, had received only 600 responses and 18 likes, and stated that this ratio indicated serious problems. https://t.co/myIOotvrQH #Politiek #Nederland #Opinie (translated)

These images are likely to vaporize the Leftist Mélenchon's prospects in the runoff. The elite wants a runoff between Philippe and Le Pen - in order to prevent the latter. 2027 will be exciting for France and thus the EU. https://t.co/Rp7wfoaVgA #Frankreich #EU #Politik #FR #EU (translated)

I am really interested, will the party @Progresivie members really not hold anyone in their board accountable for covering up a sexual abuser? At least they should ask on what date the party turned to the police, and how to explain that this happened only after it was clear that it would not be possible to hide and remain silent? #Politika #Atbildība #SociālāTaisnība (translated)

Former member of the Progressive party, Riga City Council deputy Mārtiņš Eņģelis, may have been involved in sexual relations with a minor, which the party reported to the police after receiving an alarm signal and an anonymous email with claims of a possible violation of the Criminal Code. #Progresīvie #Rīga #jaunatne (translated)

Pěkný postřeh z komentáře Viktora Daňka na ČRo: Babiš se v Římě pochlubil Meloniové, že na mítincích pouští italský popový hit "Sarà Perché Ti Amo". Meloniová na svých akcích pouští rebela Rina Gaetana. Marketingově vyladěný koncentrát středního proudu versus punková ikona. Výmluvnější kontrast si lze těžko představit. https://t.co/vhFuX5Oj8F #politika #hudba #kultura

AFRICA DAILY REPORT — 23 SEPTEMBER 2026 Major developments reported during the previous 24 hours 1. SOUTH SUDAN — Kiir dissolves transitional government ahead of December election Importance: 10/10 — Critical President Salva Kiir dissolved South Sudan’s transitional government after signing amendments that remove requirements to complete a permanent constitution and census before the long-delayed national election. The opposition has challenged the changes, while the move fundamentally reshapes the political framework ahead of what is intended to be the country’s first national election since independence. Source: Reuters — https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/south-sudans-president-signs-election-law-changes-ahead-december-vote-2026-09-22/ Additional source: Africanews — https://www.africanews.com/2026/09/22/south-sudan-president-dissolves-govt-as-controversy-engulfs-december-poll/ 2. SUDAN — US links Burhan’s UN visa to proposed ceasefire Importance: 9.5/10 — Very High The United States is withholding a visa for Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan ahead of the UN General Assembly, according to Reuters sources, in connection with a US-backed proposal for a 90-day ceasefire that Khartoum has resisted. Sudan has asked the UN to intervene, and its foreign minister is expected to address the General Assembly instead if the dispute is not resolved. Source: Reuters — https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/us-withholding-sudanese-leaders-visa-over-ceasefire-plan-sources-say-2026-09-22/ 3. SUDAN — Currency collapse deepens civilian economic crisis Importance: 9/10 — Very High Sudan’s pound has lost nearly half its value in army-controlled territory since May, trading at around 7,500 pounds to the dollar on the black market versus about 4,100 in May. Reuters links the collapse to the economic fragmentation created by the war, reduced state revenues and wartime spending. The depreciation is driving up the cost of basic goods and worsening hardship for civilians and returning refugees. Source: Reuters — https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/currency-collapse-heaps-more-pain-civilians-divided-sudan-2026-09-22/ 4. DR CONGO — Government orders investigation into violence at anti-government protest Importance: 8.5/10 — Very High DR Congo’s justice minister ordered a judicial investigation into violence during the September 15 opposition protest in Kinshasa, including reports of injuries, arrests, property destruction and a death. The demonstration opposed a proposed constitutional change that could allow President Félix Tshisekedi to seek another term. Police used tear gas, while clashes were also reported between opposition demonstrators and pro-government groups.

RWANDA / BELGIUM — Diplomatic relations restored after 18-month rupture Importance: 8/10 — High Belgium and Rwanda have resumed diplomatic relations 18 months after breaking ties amid their dispute over the conflict in eastern DR Congo. The restoration is diplomatically significant because Belgium has been a prominent European actor in the Great Lakes region and relations deteriorated sharply over allegations concerning Rwanda’s role in the Congolese conflict. Source: Reuters — https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/belgium-rwanda-resume-diplomatic-relations-after-drc-conflict-dispute-2026-09-22/ 6. LIBYA — Armed group shuts pipeline valve, reducing Sharara oil production Importance: 8/10 — High An unidentified armed group closed a valve on the pipeline connecting Libya’s major Al-Sharara oil field with Zawiya, reducing production. The National Oil Corporation warned that a prolonged shutdown could force it to declare force majeure and could also affect the Zawiya refinery. The disruption again demonstrates the vulnerability of Libya’s oil-dependent economy to armed-group pressure and political fragmentation.

MOROCCO — Parliamentary election puts youth participation and social pressures in focus Importance: 7.5/10 — High Nearly 16 million registered voters are eligible to elect Morocco’s 395-member House of Representatives today. Youth disengagement is a major issue: Africanews/AFP reports that only around 4% of registered voters are aged 18–24. Employment, housing, public services and the legacy of the Gen Z-led protests are central themes surrounding the vote.

TUNISIA — 2026 confirmed as hottest summer on record Importance: 7.5/10 — High Tunisia’s National Meteorological Institute says summer 2026 was the country’s hottest since records began in 1950. Average temperatures were about 2.9°C above the previous record, with prolonged heatwaves, exceptionally warm nights, water shortages and electricity cuts. Kairouan reached 49.7°C in July.

GUINEA — Exiled opposition leader says authorities revoked his passport Importance: 7/10 — Significant Guinean opposition figure Cellou Dalein Diallo says his passport was revoked as he prepared to travel from Abidjan to New York for meetings on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Diallo has lived in exile since 2022. His UFDG party was dissolved in March along with other opposition parties, adding the passport case to wider concerns about political restrictions under President Mamady Doumbouya.

KENYA / AFRICA AT UNGA — Ruto presses for reform of global financial architecture Importance: 7/10 — Significant At the Partners for Multilateralism summit during UN General Assembly High-Level Week, Kenyan President William Ruto argued that international financial institutions should act more as catalysts for African capital rather than simply as lenders. The intervention forms part of a broader African push at UNGA for reforms to global financial governance and greater representation in multilateral institutions.
