THE GRADUATES OF THE GHANA HAIRDRESSERS AND BEAUTICANS ASSOCIATION

Two of the 60 graduates waiting on the ceremony to start.

The awarding of diplomas can be a quite boring exercise for the young graduates and their parents. Not so in Ghana, where I was a guest on such a party in one of the suburbs of Accra, the capital of Ghana. Graduation becomes there a party, a real dance party where everyone, the board members of the Ghana Hairdressers and Beauticans Association, the graduates, their parents and friends - go on the dance floor. Everything happens through dancing.

One of the embers of the Association also waiting on the start of the ceremony.

The graduation event takes place on a very hot Sunday afternoon. Once the ceremonies have been opened the master puts a chair with a large plastic basket on it, in the middle of the dance floor. To my surprise everybody goes dancing to the chair to throw their gift in the plastic basket.

This woman felt so good that she started to dance without waiting for the opening of the ceremony.

It starts with the parents and their friends. They are followed by the members of the board of the Association, the special guests and of course the graduates themselves.

After the opening ceremony the party continues with the presentation of the diplomas to the graduates and even more important the prizes for those who have the most beautiful hairstyle.

The invited parents and friends are the first who went dancing to the chair to leave their gift in the plastic basket.

The guests were followed by the members of board who also went dancing to the chair.

MARINA OVSJANNIKOVA VERDIENT EEN PRIJS VOOR DE VREDE

Op 14 maart 2022 verscheen ze tijdens een uitzending over de Russische invasie van Oekraïne een paar seconden lang achter nieuwspresentator Kateryna Andreyeva met een handgeschreven anti-oorlogsposter. De tekst op de poster die ze vasthield was deels in het Engels en deels in het Russisch, en luidde: "Geen oorlog, stop de oorlog, geloof de propaganda niet, hier liegen ze tegen jullie, Russen zijn tegen oorlog". Het bereik van haar actie op tv was enorm. Pervyj kanal, met een internationaal bereik van ruim 250 miljoen kijkers binnen Rusland, was voor veel Russen de primaire informatiebron. De opname was niet beschikbaar om te downloaden, wat ongebruikelijk is voor dit kanaal.[2] In een vooraf opgenomen video, die via sociale media werd verspreid, stelde ze bovendien dat ze zich schaamde voor haar jarenlange deelname aan het verspreiden van Russische propaganda. Ze riep mensen op om te gaan demonstreren: "Ze kunnen ons niet allemaal opsluiten. (wikipedia)

GEZOCHT DOOR HET INTERNATIONAAL STRAFHOF VOOR ONTVOERING VAN KINDEREN UIT OEKRAÏNE

Mr Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, born on 7 October 1952, President of the Russian Federation, is allegedly responsible for the war crime of unlawful deportation of population (children) and that of unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation (under articles 8(2)(a)(vii) and 8(2)(b)(viii) of the Rome Statute). The crimes were allegedly committed in Ukrainian occupied territory at least from 24 February 2022. There are reasonable grounds to believe that Mr Putin bears individual criminal responsibility for the aforementioned crimes, (i) for having committed the acts directly, jointly with others and/or through others (article 25(3)(a) of the Rome Statute), and (ii) for his failure to exercise control properly over civilian and military subordinates who committed the acts, or allowed for their commission, and who were under his effective authority and control, pursuant to superior responsibility (article 28(b) of the Rome Statute).
