Post: Democrats urge Biden to grant TPS for Democratic Republic of Congo refugees https://www.blaqsbi.com/5pmK

We know we’ve been very HOLIDAYS! with jazz hands and glitter lately, but we just want to remind you that we have a fantastic new selection of African Art and Artifacts that’s being added to on the regular. It’s a wonderful return to our roots, that we treasure. Personally, I’m captivated by this vintage Kuba Female Ancestor Altar Figure from the Democratic Republic of Congo, and with the beautiful earrings she’s wearing, she’s certainly a perfect fit for Beads of Paradise NYC. If she’s the perfect fit for your home, too, follow the link in our profile to see more photos and arrange an in-person look! #kuba #kubatribe #ancestorfigure #congo #democraticrepublicofcongo #africanart #africanartifacts #africanartcollector #femalesculpture #africansculpture #oneofakind #art #sculpture #decor #decorate #artcollector #artifacts #shop #beautiful #beadsofparadise #shopsmallbusiness #shopsmall #nyc #unionsquare (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl4dmkzOkgf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Kasese, located in western Uganda, right at the border to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is a flourishing little African town. Walking around it's busy streets, there's something new to discover around every turn. Sellers trying to offer their products at the local markets and children playing in front of the small shops. The mountains in the far distance form such a beautiful contrast, awaiting the explorers and adventurers. #africa #drcongo #congo #democraticrepublicofcongo #expedition #uganda #mountaineer #mountaineering #mountains #sevensummits #summit #everest #adventures #mountain #kilimanjaro #adventure #love (at Kasese District) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg42H2NMZbo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's September 24th, 🦍 World Gorilla Day. This worldwide celebration commemorates the day in 1967 that Dr. Dian Fossey established the Karisoke Research Center in Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park. Karisoke, which is now run by the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, is dedicated to the study, conservation, and protection of gorillas and their habitats. Dr. Fossey was an American zoologist who lived from 1932 to 1985. She spent much of her life in Africa and became the world's leading authority on the mountain gorilla. 🎥 Hollywood turned her bestselling book, "Gorillas in the Mist," into a blockbuster film starring Sigourney Weaver as Dr. Fossey.

There are many great organizations and individuals who are dedicated to fighting for the gorilla's survival. All four subspecies of gorillas – the Cross River gorilla, Grauer’s gorilla, mountain gorilla, and western lowland gorilla – are critically endangered because of illegal poaching, civil unrest, disease, and habitat destruction.

The mountain gorilla is the most critically endangered of them all, with only around 800 left in the wild. They’re found within high-altitude mountain and bamboo forests in just two isolated groups – one in the Virunga volcanoes – spanning the borders of Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and one in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda, contiguous with DRC’s Sarambwe Nature Reserve. Mountain gorillas are completely vegetarian, feeding on leaves, shoots, and stems. They live in groups of several females with their young and one dominant adult "silverback" male – easily identified by his huge size, regal demeanor, and a patch of silver hair on his back.

Each of us can make a difference to ensure a bright future for the noble gorilla. Won't you please help carry the torch for Dr. Fossey? ☮️Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

Coming up to the anniversary of one of the most horrendous mass murders in human history, I present to you at long last my latest, most meaningful work Génocidaires Rwanda!:) Available in paperback and on Kindle on an Amazon nearest you! April 7, 1994 to July 15, 1994 proved to be a veritable nightmare for one hundred harrowing days in Rwanda, so this book precedes the anniversary of a momentous time. Deep-seated enmity between Tutsis and Hutus boiled over, starting from the downing of President Juvénal Habyarimana’s plane and culminating in a vicious slaughter of Tutsis, their sympathizers, and in turn Hutu perpetrators at the hands of vindictive Tutsis. Go along with the Ngabonziza family, their precocious pre-teen daughter Isaro, and their friends in this fictional journey of survival in the face of sure death from bloodthirsty Hutus bent on extermination! #rwanda #kigali #rwandan #rwandese #rwandangenocide #genocide #eastafrica #uganda #burundi #hutu #tutsi #tanzania #ethiopia #democraticrepublicofcongo #zaire #book #books #bookstagram #carltonholden #writer #writersofinstagram #historicalfiction #fiction #murder #massmurder #refugee #refugees #rwandanpatrioticfront #un https://www.instagram.com/p/CMZxukgAb0t/?igshid=1drdbcrmazaib https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08YQMC1KW/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1615731649&sr=8-2

We started our Mount Stanley expedition around 10km east of Kasese in a small village without a name. After a final gear check, we left towards the mountains. Around 1h into the track, we turned around and noticed some children following us. We greeted them in their local language, they didn't speak any English. How much I'd have loved to give them some chocolate or money but I didn't carry anything with me. Fast forward, returning from a long, beautiful expedition, we bought all we could get in the small stores of the little town of Kasese and gave it to the local kids. It wasn't the same children though, those were gone by then. But I hope we were able to brighten their day just a little bit. Such polite, lovely little people. #africa #drcongo #congo #democraticrepublicofcongo #expedition #uganda #mountaineer #mountaineering #mountains #sevensummits #summit #everest #adventures #mountain #kilimanjaro #adventure #love (at Uganda, Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgzefFRsZJW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
