VIDEOS : Police round up young men in Burundi for fear of attacking the government

By

This is now the norm in Burundi. Anyone the police consider old
enough to fight the government of Pierre Ukurunziza is rounded up and taken
away. Many are feared dead after being taken away, with several families left
to wonder about what might happen to their sons.


In the first video released a day to the massive shooting
that led to the killing of 87 people in Bujumbura, police loaded a big
truck with young men who commited no crime, just to prevent them from taking up
arms against the government. There are debates on whether these young men are
still alive.

The second video was secretely recorded in
November showing about 100 young men being led away by the police to
an unknown destination.

VIDEO: A zero waste Japanese town

By

In 2003, the local government in Kamikatsu, Japan decided to
require that all residents comply with a new, rigorous recycling program –
perhaps the most rigorous in the world.


Since then, the town composts, recycles, or reuses 80% of its garbage. It may
not technically be 100% zero waste, as the remaining 20% goes into the
landfill, but it’s a remarkable achievement for an entire community, in such a
short amount of time. The impacts have been positive – cutting costs for the
community drastically, as well as improving the conditions of the lush and
beautiful environment that surrounds the town in Southeast Japan.


Residents must wash and sort virtually anything that is non-compostable in
their household before bringing it to the recycling sorting center. Shampoo
bottles, caps, cans, razors, styrofoam meat trays, water bottles…the list
goes on and on (literally) into 34 categories. At the sorting center, labels on
each bin indicate the recycling process for that specific item – how it will be
recycled, what it will become, and how much that process can cost (or even
earn). It’s an education process for the consumer.

All kitchen scraps must be composted at home, as the town has no garbage trucks
or collectors.

And as for other items, reuse is heavily encouraged. According to Akira Sakano,
Deputy Chief Officer at Zero Waste Academy in Kamikatsu, the town has a
kuru-kuru shop where residents can bring in used items and take things home for
free. There is also a kuru-kuru factory, where local women make bags and
clothes out of discarded items.

At first, it was difficult to be come accustomed to the new rules. “It can
be a pain, and at first we were opposed to the idea,” says resident,
Hatsue Katayama. “If you get used to it, it becomes normal.”

Now, it’s even being noticed within Kamikatsu’s businesses. The first
zero-waste brewery has opened in Kamikatsu, called Rise and Win Brewery. The
brewery itself is constructed of reused materials and environmentally friendly
finishes. By 2020, Kamikatsu hopes to be 100% zero waste, with no use of landfills,
and to forge connections with other like-minded communities in the world,
spreading the practice of zero-waste.

VIDEO/PICTURES: Fake South African Pastor Mobbed, Church Burnt Down

By

I once talked about a
young South African pastor known for giving his Church members live
snake, stone, hair, pieces of clothing and other crazy things to eat. He also
sits on them, rides them like horses, and there was a time his members stripped
naked because he commanded them to be hot. 
Well, Pastor Penuel Mnguni of the
End Times Disciples Ministries, ran into hardluck over the weekend.

According to a report by Daily Sun
SA, a mob of villagers, led by a South African youth vigilante group (the
Economic Freedom Fighters) burnt Penuel’s church at Soshanguve in Tshwane on
Sunday. 

Villagers led by a vigilante group, beat pastor Penuel and burnt down his church.
Sources say he had been in hiding recently, as community members denounced what he was doing, calling it an ‘abomination.’
The villagers described pastor Penuel’s activities as abominable.
Witnesses testify that church members were also beaten and tied up, before the police officers came to quell the storm. 



Below is a video of the moment the Pastor was tied along with two of his faithfuls.
