War in the Middle East: Donald Trump threatens Iran with new strikes in a particularly insulting message

Donald Trump renews his threats against Iran as his ultimatum expires on Monday night. The American president, still as bellicose as ever, warns, “Tuesday will be the Day of Energy Power Plants and Bridges,” he writes if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened. “Open the damn Strait, you bunch of idiots, or you will live in Hell – YOU WILL SEE!” wrote the American president, drawing criticism from Democratic lawmakers on Easter Sunday.

Under the noise of the bombs, the peaceful messages conveyed by the Pope seem inaudible. Pope Francis, who presided over his first Easter mass at the Vatican on Sunday morning, called for a great peace prayer vigil.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is dismayed after the execution of a French national in China, Chan Thao Phoumy, 62, sentenced to death in 2010 by Chinese authorities for drug trafficking and executed in Canton, “despite the mobilization of French authorities, including efforts to obtain a humanitarian clemency decision,” lamented the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement. This case resonates with the detention of another French national who spent nearly three particularly difficult years in detention in the same region of Canton. Accused of drug trafficking, he was eventually acquitted after a long legal battle led without much support from French authorities, according to his lawyer.

It is a phenomenon that became viral on social media after the publication, last month, of a video just over a minute long and viewed nearly 26 million times. It shows a young American woman lost among rocks and trails, indicating in the caption: “When you go hiking with him in the mountains but he leaves you all alone.” This “alpine divorce,” as it’s called, may provoke a smile: preferring to abandon his partner in the middle of the mountain rather than engaging in a responsible conversation. But this phenomenon mainly describes a true form of domestic violence.
