In Bremen hat der rot-grün-rote (!) Senat unter Bovenschulte sich nicht an das Versprechen gehalten, ein Dokumentationszentrum Kolonialismus einzurichten. Stattdessen "entsorgt" man das Afrika Archiv nach Namibia und verkleidet dies rhetorisch als "Restitution".

Over 120 abstracts came in (I even stopped counting at one point). Such an amazing response. We aim to share the line-up in early November.

The headline is clearly false and damaging. Germany has not stopped exporting arms to Israel; shipments licensed before August are still being sent, and my investigation shows that F35 parts from the USA transiting through Germany were transferred as recently as last week.
