Pope to Canada to apologize to Indigenous people
At the end of next week, Pope Francis will travel to Canada to apologize to the indigenous peoples for the abuses suffered by students at Catholic boarding schools. For more than 100 years, the Canadian state has split the families of indigenous peoples by forcibly placing children in boarding schools run by, among others, the Catholic Church. The children were not allowed to speak their language and many were subjected to neglect, violence and abuse. Thousands of children died in the meantime at the boarding schools.
The aim was to eradicate the culture of the indigenous people by cutting off family ties. But the question is how far does the pope’s apology go?
PKK, the Kurds and NATO
Sweden has signed a letter of intent with Turkey for the country to approve Sweden as NATO funds. But for many Swedish Kurds, this means a betrayal, and for some, a trauma.
Central to this discussion is the PKK, which is classified as a terrorist organization by Sweden and the EU. But what is the PKK? And how does that organization relate to other armed Kurdish groups?
