Entre las historias más terribles del colonialismo italiano está la matanza de Addis Abeba (1937). Unos 19.000 civiles fueron asesinados por fuerzas italianas. Hoy, en la sala introductoria del museo, una obra en forma de escalera lo recuerda.

Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die - AFP, July 21, 2025
AFP has been working with one freelance writer, three photographers, and six freelance videographers in the Gaza Strip since the departure of its staff journalists in 2024. Along with a few others, they are now the only ones reporting what is happening in the Gaza Strip. The international press has been banned from entering the territory for nearly two years.
We refuse to see them die.
One of them, Bashar, has worked for AFP since 2010, first as a fixer, then as a freelance photographer, and since 2024 as the main photographer. On Saturday, July 19, he managed to post a message on Facebook: "I no longer have the strength to work for the media. My body is thin and I can no longer work."
Bashar, 30, works and lives in conditions equal to those of all Gazans, moving from one refugee camp to another as Israeli bombardments dictate. For over a year, he has lived in absolute destitution and works at enormous risk to his life. Hygiene is a major problem for him, with periods of severe intestinal illness.
Bashar has been living in the ruins of his Gaza City home since February with his mother, his four siblings, and the family of one of his brothers. Their house is devoid of any amenities or comforts, except for a few cushions. On Sunday morning, he reported that his older brother had "fallen from hunger." Even though these journalists receive a monthly salary from AFP, there is nothing to buy, or only at exorbitant prices. The banking system has disappeared, and those who exchange money between online bank accounts and cash charge a commission of nearly 40%.
AFP no longer has the means to have a vehicle, let alone the fuel to allow its journalists to travel for their reports.
Traveling by car is tantamount to running the risk of being a target for the Israeli air force. AFP reporters therefore travel on foot or by donkey cart. Ahlam, for her part, survives in the south of the enclave.
And she is determined to "bear witness" for as long as possible. "Every time I leave the tent to cover an event, conduct an interview, or document a story, I don't know if I'll come back alive."
The biggest problem, she confirms, is the lack of food and water. We see their situation worsening. They are young, and their strength is failing them. Most no longer have the physical ability to travel the enclave to do their job. Their heartbreaking pleas for help are now daily.
Over the past few days, we have understood from their brief messages that their lives no longer depend on much and that their courage, devoted for many months to informing the whole world, will not help them survive.
We risk learning of their deaths at any moment, and it's unbearable. This Sunday, Bashar wrote: "For the first time, I feel defeated." Later that day, he told one of us that he thanked him "for explaining what we live daily between death and hunger." "I wish Mr. Macron could help me get out of this hell." Ahlam is still standing.
"I try to continue practicing my profession, to carry the voice of the people, to document the truth in the face of all attempts to silence it. Here, resistance is not a choice: it's a necessity." Since AFP was founded in August 1944, we have lost journalists in conflicts, we have had wounded and prisoners in our ranks, but none of us remembers seeing a colleagues die of starvation.

El testimonio del represor Troccoli es excepcional por muchas razones. La primera es que rara vez los militares acusados por crímenes cometidos en la dictaduras suramericanas aceptaron responder a preguntas en un tribunal. También admitió contactos con la ESMA, centro de tortura argentino.

Neiman rechaza el supuesto de que "los puntos de vista políticos están determinados por los orígenes étnicos", que se opone a la visión universalista. "¿Qué nos parece más esencial, las características accidentales con las que nacemos o los principios que abrazamos y defendemos?”.

En 2009 pasé unos días con Toscani. En ese entonces andaba metido en un proyecto para repoblar un pequeño pueblo de Sicilia. La iniciativa no tuvo grandes resultados pero aún así luego la copiaron decenas de localidades. Lo que vendía era el eslogan. "Casas por un euro".

Desde hoy ya podéis comprar "Diarios del olvido" de Semezdin Mehmedinović, uno de los principales autores bosnios de hoy en día, publicado por Deleste y traducido por un servidor. Un libro de una humanidad y una delicadeza exquisitas. Os cuento un poco más sobre él.
