In tatters
(especially of cloth) Badly torn
Her clothes were old and in tatters.
Badly damaged or completely spoiled
After the newspaper story appeared his reputation was in tatters.
Cambridge Dictionary
Slavernij is volgens de christelijke code niet zondiger dan het dragen van mooie kleren,
terwijl een ander in flarden is, het eten van een betere maaltijd dan een buurman, of
het genieten van gemak en overvloed,
terwijl onze medemensen lijden en gebrek hebben.
1 The moment the penny fell down
IN SHORT: the Sanda Dia case
Sanda Dia, a 20-year old student from Edegem, was in his third year of civil engineering at the KU Leuven, when he wanted to join the student club Reuzegom. For this, he had to participate in an extreme hazing. A hazing that would eventually become his death.
On the second day, Sanda and two other shafts had to dig a hole in Vorselaar, where they then had to sit down. There, they got buckets of ice-cold water over them, had to eat all kinds of dirty things and had to drink a lot of fish sauce.
Finally, in the course of the evening, he was taken to hospital. But no more help was forthcoming and he died two days after the hazing.
IN HET KORT: de zaak-Sanda Dia
Sanda Dia, een 20-jarige student uit Edegem, zat in zijn derde jaar burgerlijk ingenieur aan de KU Leuven, toen hij lid wilde worden van de studentenclub Reuzegom. Daarvoor moest hij deelnemen aan een extreem doopritueel, op 4 en 5 december 2018. Een doopritueel dat uiteindelijk zijn dood zou worden.
Op de tweede dag moest Sanda samen met twee andere schachten een put graven in Vorselaar, waar ze vervolgens moesten gaan inzitten. Daar kregen ze emmers ijskoud water over zich heen, moesten ze allerlei vieze dingen eten en moesten ze heel wat vissaus drinken.
Uiteindelijk werd hij in de loop van de avond naar het ziekenhuis gebracht. Maar daar kon geen hulp meer baten, twee dagen na de doop overleed hij.

When the judiciary itself is the cause of aberrations, as in the Jeffery Epstein affair.
The judiciary could have intervened correctly 15 years earlier instead of doing the ‘sweet deal’ with billionaire Jeffery Epstein, which allowed the event to run its course unchecked.
Wanneer justitie zelf oorzaak is dat er aberraties kunnen ontstaan, zoals in het Jeffery Epstein achtig gebeuren.
Justitie had reeds 15 jaar vroeger correct kunnen ingrijpen in plaats van de ‘sweet deal’ met miljardair Jeffery Epstein waardoor het gebeuren ongebreideld verder zijn gang kon gaan.

4 The Belgian colonial history
King Leopold II and the Congo Free State
Please click this link – some video’s about an unknow history
The details of the 19th-century colonial exploration and exploitation of the Congo under the infamous King Leopold II of Belgium were kept hidden.
On February 5, 1885, Belgian King Leopold II established the Congo Free State by brutally seizing the African landmass as his personal possession. Rather than control the Congo as a colony, as other European powers did throughout Africa, Leopold privately owned the region
Leopold II and the Congo Free State
Presenting himself as a philanthropist eager to bring the benefits of Christianity, Western civilization, and commerce to African natives—a guise that he perpetuated for many years—Leopold hosted an international conference of explorers and geographers at the royal palace in Brussels in 1876. Several years later he hired the explorer Henry Morton Stanley to be his man in Africa. For five years Stanley traveled up and down the immense waterways of the Congo River basin, setting up trading posts, building roads, and persuading local chiefs—almost all of them illiterate—to sign treaties with Leopold. The treaties, some of which appear to have been subsequently doctored to Leopold’s liking, were then put to use by the Belgian monarch.
His most important legacy, however, remains the human catastrophe that the rubber forced-labour system brought to the Congo – a heritage that continued to echo in that region more than a century after Leopold’s death.
De details van de 19de-eeuwse koloniale exploratie en exploitatie van Congo onder de beruchte koning Leopold II van België werden verborgen gehouden.
Op 5 februari 1885 stichtte de Belgische koning Leopold II de Onafhankelijke Congostaat door de Afrikaanse landmassa brutaal als zijn persoonlijk bezit in te nemen. In plaats van Congo als een kolonie te besturen, zoals andere Europese mogendheden in heel Afrika deden, bezat Leopold de regio voor eigen rekening.
Leopold II en de Onafhankelijke Congostaat
Leopold, die zich voordeed als een filantroop die de voordelen van het christendom, de westerse beschaving en de handel naar de Afrikaanse inboorlingen wilde brengen – een vermomming die hij jarenlang volhield – was in 1876 gastheer van een internationale conferentie van ontdekkingsreizigers en geografen in het koninklijk paleis te Brussel. Enkele jaren later huurde hij de ontdekkingsreiziger Henry Morton Stanley in als zijn man in Afrika. Vijf jaar lang reisde Stanley op en neer langs de immense waterwegen van het Congobekken, zette handelsposten op, legde wegen aan en haalde plaatselijke stamhoofden – die bijna allemaal analfabeet waren – over om verdragen met Leopold te ondertekenen. De verdragen, waarvan er sommige naar Leopold’s smaak werden aangepast, werden vervolgens door de Belgische vorst in gebruik genomen.
Zijn belangrijkste nalatenschap blijft echter de menselijke catastrofe die het systeem van dwangarbeid op rubber in de Kongo teweegbracht – een nalatenschap die meer dan een eeuw na de dood van Leopold nog steeds in die regio doorklinkt.

he story of Gordon.
Gordon also known as “whipped peter” was a black slave in America who escaped from a Louisiana plantation in March 1863 after he was nearly whipped to death.
The image of Gordon’s scarred back from whipping remains one of the most visually arresting depictions of slavery. The photograph opened the eyes of millions of people to the horrors of the slave trade in the Southern United States.
The photo was famously known as the scourged back, it became one of the most widely circulated photos of the abolitionist movement during the American Civil War and remains one of the most famous photos of that era.

Felipe Gomez Alonzo: Eight-year-old Guatemalan boy who died at US border had flu, autopsy shows
The United States is set to overhaul how it handles illegal migrants after a young boy and girl, both from Guatemala, died while in US custody in December.
Their deaths coincided with a spike in the number of young migrant families apprehended at the border. Many of them come from Guatemala.
To find out what is driving young families to the US, the BBC’s Patricia Sulbarán went back to the village of one of those children, Felipe Gomez Alonzo.
Felipe’s father took his son to the US-Mexico border after hearing rumours that parents and their children would be allowed to migrate to the US and escape the poverty in their homeland, the boy’s stepsister said.
De Verenigde Staten zijn van plan de behandeling van illegale migranten te herzien nadat in december een jongen en een meisje, beiden afkomstig uit Guatemala, in Amerikaanse hechtenis om het leven kwamen.
Hun dood viel samen met een piek in het aantal jonge migrantenfamilies die aan de grens worden opgepakt. Velen van hen komen uit Guatemala.
Om uit te zoeken wat jonge gezinnen naar de VS drijft, ging Patricia Sulbarán van de BBC terug naar het dorp van een van die kinderen, Felipe Gomez Alonzo.
Felipe’s vader nam zijn zoon mee naar de grens tussen de VS en Mexico nadat hij geruchten had gehoord dat ouders en hun kinderen naar de VS zouden mogen emigreren om te ontsnappen aan de armoede in hun thuisland, aldus de stiefzus van de jongen.

Is this the most dangerous job in the world?
Inside a ship graveyard in Bangladesh
On the muddy shores of Bangladesh, the world’s old cargo ships and tankers are discarded and left for poorly paid workers to dismantle in shocking conditions.
Hundreds of cargo ships and tankers are discarded, pulled apart to have the steel recycled to build infrastructure across the country.
But as reporter Tim Noonan found out, it’s a task fraught with danger.
Falling metal debris, asbestos, amputation and death – it’s all in a day’s work for the men, and sometimes children, who work in the ship graveyards of Bangladesh. They dismantle retired ships to recycle the raw materials for the nation’s infrastructure. Reporter Tim Noonan got a rare look at what happens inside one of the yards, and the lack of safety for the workers.
And it’s not just adults putting their lives at risk for just 47 cents per hour – children are also commonly found working in these dangerous fields.
This story originally aired in 2013.

In Bangladesh, men desperate for work perform one of the world’s most dangerous jobs. They demolish huge ships in grueling conditions, braving disease, pollution, and the threat of being crushed or stabbed by steel sliced from the hulls.

In Bangladesh voeren mannen die wanhopig op zoek zijn naar werk een van de gevaarlijkste beroepen ter wereld uit. Ze slopen enorme schepen onder erbarmelijke omstandigheden en trotseren ziekte, vervuiling en de dreiging te worden verpletterd of verwond door staal dat uit de romp is gesneden.

One may expect the judiciary to act with honesty and dignity.
That they raise their eyebrows when something is not right and that the real question is answered.
In other words, that they do not allow themselves to be led astray.
Van justitie mag men verwachten dat ze eerlijk en waardig te werk gaan. Dat ze de wenkbrouwen fronsen wanneer er iets niet klopt en dat de echte vraag beantwoord wordt.
M.a.w dat ze zich niet laten met een kluitje in het riet laten sturen.
