Hello, Everybody!
What a week! After some of the most disappointing and saddening scenes we have ever witnessed in politics we have also seen some of the most inspiring scenes just one day apart!
I know there are people (mostly Trump supporters, I assume) who would say I and all non-Americans have no right to form an opinion, since he is not our president. Well, thankfully, he is not, but first, many of his actions will affect us all, and second, we do have our fair share of real-life political satire in Hungary, so when I refer to “them” I mean a whole bunch of ideals and people representing them.
Let me just say one thing then, that after yesterday’s amazing events I find even more convincingly to be true. It is that whatever happens from now on, instead of giving in to fear and disappointment, we should use these experiences to inspire us to do good! And then even more good! Because that’s what the world needs right now. Let’s keep on marching and letting them know that we are strong in our beliefs and no rule of oppressing beliefs can ever change that.
Now, here is your weekly reading.

The part about The Gambia can be favorably updated now, but otherwise the future of the ICC remains to be seen.
