"SHITHOLE COUNTRIES": THE SHOCKING TRUTH WHICH SHOULD HAVE SERVED AS A LESSON During an Oval Office meeting, the U.S President grew frustrated with lawmakers. It was due to the discussion revolving around protecting immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador, and African countries as part of a bipartisan immigration deal. As a result, the President aired out remarks that have since generated global attention. Inviting people to accept the truth, this book depicts scenarios which made the author to confirm that his country, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) as well as other African countries and beyond, was actually a "shithole country". The book further discusses systems turning African countries into shitholes and looks if developed country could be called shithole countries as well.

A Word of Warning to The World According to several reports by experts and organizations, the armed and political conflicts in the DRC have caused more than eight million deaths (more deaths than those of the holocaust and genocides already known); and thrown more than ten million Congolese on the path of displacement and refuge. On power since 2002 (after the death of his father), President Joseph Kabila has finished his 2 terms and does not want to leave the office. He has changed the constitution and laws of the country many times to maintain himself on power. He does not want to organize free and fair elections! Civilians who try to demonstrate peacefully are repressed violently. Many organizations and independent researchers have produced countless reports on the macabre situations taking place in the DRC due to political instability. Unfortunately, the international community and the United Nations have remained silent to the long-suffering of the Congolese people. Faced with these reports, the most courageous have stopped on simply condemning the facts without further concrete actions. It looks like economic interests of some and others are valued before human lives in perpetual danger. After my thorough analysis of the political situation in the DRC, I stopped for a moment to look at the situation in the coming months. I saw things happening before my eyes as in a horror movie. I felt the smell of blood because, as a torture survivor, I know it very well. I have noticed a very high risk of escalating events toward the end of this year. Many more millions of Congolese are expected to die in the DRC if nothing is done. As a writer for social justice and human rights, I thought that sending a word of warning to the world about the consequences of the current political situation would be a great contribution to saving at risk human lives. The book suggests that a transitional government without the out of mandate president Joseph Kabila is needed in the country to avoid many more millions of dead, displaced and refugees. This book is therefore, not only a word of warning but also, a call for immediate action because tomorrow may be late!

This book provides an authoritative insight on the Loss and Damage discourse by highlighting state-of-the-art research and policy linked to this discourse and articulating its multiple concepts, principles and methods. Written by leading researchers and practitioners, it identifies practical and evidence-based policy options to inform the discourse and climate negotiations. With climate-related risks on the rise and impacts being felt around the globe has come the recognition that climate mitigation and adaptation may not be enough to manage the effects from anthropogenic climate change. This recognition led to the creation of the Warsaw International Mechanism on Loss and Damage in 2013, a climate policy mechanism dedicated to dealing with climate-related effects in highly vulnerable countries that face severe constraints and limits to adaptation. Endorsed in 2015 by the Paris Agreement and effectively considered a third pillar of international climate policy, debate and research on Loss and Damage continues to gain enormous traction. Yet, concepts, methods and tools as well as directions for policy and implementation have remained contested and vague. Suitable for researchers, policy-advisors, practitioners and the interested public, the book furthermore: • discusses the political, legal, economic and institutional dimensions of the issue• highlights normative questions central to the discourse • provides a focus on climate risks and climate risk management. • presents salient case studies from around the world.

The orthodox definition of international security put human displacement and refugees at the periphery. In contrast, this book demonstrates that human displacement can be both a cause and a consequence of conflict within and among societies. As such, the management of refugee movements and the protection of displaced people should be a part of security policy.

This book provides an overview of theoretical, empirical, and clinical conceptualizations of mental health following exposure to human rights violations (HRV). There are currently hundreds of millions of individuals affected by war and conflict across the globe, and over 68 million people who are forcibly displaced. The field of refugee and post-conflict mental health is growing exponentially, as researchers investigate the factors that impact on psychological disorders in these populations, and design and evaluate new treatments to reduce psychological distress. This volume will be a substantial contribution to the literature on mental health in refugee and post-conflict populations, as it details the state of the evidence regarding the mental health of war survivors living in areas of former conflict as well as refugees and asylum-seekers.
