Cabinda in the spotlight due to football

The attack and murder of Togolese footballers in Angola has drawn the attention of the media, yes even of the Sun.  It is amazing how a link with football can make news.  Lara Pawson writes in the Guardian that Cabinda should be kept in the spotlight, although it is usually ignored and few seem to know where it is.  Cabinda is the sliver of Angolan territory between the two Congos.  She writes that there is repression, conflict and oil in the region.

While you’re here…

Like you, we are horrified by the violence and the civilian death toll in Gaza, Israel and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We’re calling for an immediate ceasefire by all parties in the occupied Gaza Strip and Israel to prevent further loss of civilian lives. Amnesty International is investigating mass summary killings, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, hostage-taking, and siege tactics.

As ever, our mission to protect human rights remains. Please donate today to help expose war crimes and protect human rights. Thank you.
