RT @AmbassadeBLR: L’Ambassade du #Bélarus en France vous invite à suivre la diffusion du film «LVF: à feu et à sang», consacré à la participation du Légion des volontaires français (LVF) aux crimes de guerre commis par des nazis sur le territoire du Bélarus durant la Grande Guerre patriotique.
📽️ Ce film de 52 minutes réalisé par Serge de Sampigny repose sur des documents personnels inédits : d’un film amateur et un journal intime d’un ancien membre de la LVF, qui relate les atrocités commises aux côtés des troupes SS.
Le documentaire revient notamment sur la destruction des villages bélarussiens, les exécutions de civils, les actes de terreur envers femmes et enfants, et le rôle actif de certains Français dans les opérations punitives contre la population locale.
🕊️ En cette année du #80e anniversaire de la Victoire dans la Grande Guerre patriotique, ce travail revêt une importance historique essentielle pour la mémoire des victimes du génocide du peuple bélarussien, pour la vérité, et pour renforcer le dialogue entre les peuples bélarussien et français autour de leur passé commun.
📌 Diffusion : dimanche 27 avril à 23h05 sur France 5

RT @RusEmbJakarta: 📄 Article by Minister-Counsellor of the Embassy of Russia in Indonesia Veronika Novoseltseva "80th Anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945)" published in @kompascom (25.04.2025)

Key points:

• In June 1941, Germany launched a barbaric attack on the USSR. All our citizens rose together to defend the Motherland - the old and the young, men and women, people of various ethnicities and religions. The Great Patriotic War entered every family, every city, and every village.

• Hunger, destruction, and countless human casualties followed. Nearly 27 million people perished, 24 million of them civilians. The USSR lost about 30 percent of its national wealth. The memory of the Great Patriotic War lives on not only in archival documents and documentary films but also in family histories and veterans' recollections.

• Hitler, the principal bearer of the fascist ideology who between 1939 and 1941 had enslaved Europe, was crushed by our country and was unable to continue his quest for global domination. He "broke his teeth" against the Soviet Union.

• The teachings of fascism, as a manifestation of aggressive chauvinism and hatred towards other peoples, were eradicated. Therefore, all modern attempts by our opponents to revive the ideology of fascism are doomed to failure.

• On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, we honor all heroes and pay tribute to every participant who fought on the battlefield and worked in the industries.

🎖 On April 25, the Russian Embassy in the United States hosted the #Dictation of Victory as part of an international patriotic campaign with the participation of Ambassador A.N. Darchiev, the Embassy's leadership, employees and their families, pupils of the Embassy school, as well as compatriots who joined in remotely.

Answering the dictation questions concerning historical events and facts of the Great Patriotic War, the participants were able to test their knowledge and discover new facets of the great feat of the Soviet people and the heroic Red Army, which crushed the war machine of Hitler's Germany.

❗️The Victory Dictation plays an important role in preserving our memory in the fight against attempts in the West to rewrite history by whitewashing the Nazis and their henchmen. #Victory80

Script of the speech delivered by H.E. Ali Mohamed Omar, State Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, at the Troop Contributing Countries (TCCs) Ministerial Meeting in Kampala, Uganda.

Excellency Representative of the Host Country,
Your Excellency Mohamoud Ali Youusouf, Chairperson of the African Union Commission,
Your Excellency Commissioner Bankole, AUPSC
Excellencies, Distinguished Ministers of Foreign Affairs & Defence,
From Partners of IGAD, UN, UNSON, US, UK and EU
Ladies and Gentlemen,
All Protocols Observed,

It is both an honor and a profound responsibility to address you today at this pivotal moment for Somalia and the region. We stand together, united by a shared vision of peace, stability, and African-led solutions.
Allow me first to extend Somalia’s deepest gratitude to the Republic of Uganda for hosting this critical summit, and to all Troop Contributing Countries (TCCs) represented here. For over 18 years, the African Union Mission—now transitioning into AUSSOM—has been a cornerstone in Somalia’s path towards peace. Your commitment, your sacrifices, and the bravery of your men and women in uniform have written a chapter of African solidarity that history will never forget.

We will forever honor the fallen heroes—our brothers and sisters—who paid the ultimate price so that Somalia may have a chance at lasting peace. The Somali people are eternally grateful. Your sacrifices have not been in vain; they have laid the foundation for a Somalia that is steadily reclaiming its security and sovereignty.

The Importance of AUSSOM

Excellencies,

The establishment of AUSSOM is not just a continuation of previous efforts—it is a critical evolution. AUSSOM represents a new phase of partnership, one that aligns with Somalia’s Security Development Plan and emphasizes Somali ownership while recognizing that the threat posed by Al-Shabaab is far from over.

Let me be clear: Somalia today is not a country in political turmoil. We have functioning institutions, a constitutionally mandated government, and mechanisms in place to resolve political matters through dialogue and governance. Our greatest challenge remains security—defeating terrorism and stabilizing liberated areas.

This is where AUSSOM is indispensable. The Somali National Army is growing stronger, but we are not yet at the point where we can finish this fight alone. We need your continued support—your forces, your expertise, and your solidarity—to complete the mission we began together.

Security Situation & Call for Support

In recent weeks, Al-Shabaab has intensified attacks, particularly in Middle and Lower Shabelle. These setbacks remind us that terrorism remains a persistent threat—not only to Somalia but to regional stability. We call upon all TCCs to strengthen Quick Reaction Forces and coordinate multi-sector offensives. Together, we can break the remaining strongholds of terror.

Mission Financing & Sustainability

Excellencies,

AUSSOM’s success depends not only on boots on the ground but also on sustainable, predictable financing. Without it, we risk losing the hard-won gains achieved through blood and sacrifice.

Somalia supports the full implementation of UNSC Resolution 2719 and the Hybrid Model. But we must also innovate—leveraging the AU Peace Fund, engaging new donors, and involving the private sector to ensure that AUSSOM has the resources to fulfill its mandate.
Conclusion

Let me reaffirm: Somalia is committed to standing on its own feet—but no nation overcomes terrorism alone. With your continued support through AUSSOM, we can secure a future where Somali forces take full responsibility for security, and where peace is not just a hope, but a reality.

Today, we ask you to help us finish the job. The Somali people believe in this mission. They believe in African solidarity. And they believe that, together, we will deliver lasting peace—not only for Somalia but for the entire Horn of Africa.

Thank you.
