CONAKRY-À l’occasion de l’intronisation de Monseigneur François Sylla en tant qu’archevêque métropolitain de Conakry, le Cardinal Robert Sarah a prononcé une homélie qui résonne comme un “électrochoc”. Pointant l’état spirituel du clergé et les maux profonds qui rongent la société guinéenne, le prélat dénonce un fossé grandissant entre les vœux prononcés et la réalité du quotidien des ministres de l’Église. « Beaucoup d’entre nous, prêtres et évêques, avons publiquement déclaré être prêts à boire la coupe du Christ. Mais en fait, concrètement, dans le quotidien de notre existence, nous menons une vie totalement contraire à l’Évangile », constate Robert Sarah. Le Cardinal fustige l’attrait des richesses et les luttes d’ego qui s’immiscent au sein de la communauté ecclésiale : « Chaque jour, nous devenons de plus en plus tièdes, médiocres, avides de biens matériels. Jésus n’occupe plus la première place dans notre cœur ! […] Nos cœurs débordent de jalousie,...

Egyptian cinemas are gearing up for a monumental cinematic milestone this Thursday, May 21st, as they welcome the 12th theatrical installment in the legendary Star Wars saga: “The Mandalorian & Grogu.” This release stands out as one of the franchise’s most critical pivots in recent memory. Not only does it break a prolonged theatrical hiatus as the first feature film since 2019’s Star Wars: The “Rise of Skywalker”, but it also marks an unprecedented narrative leap. For the very first time in the franchise’s history, characters born on the small screen are transitioning directly into a massive, IMAX-engineered theatrical blockbuster. Traditionally, Star Wars films have chosen to launch fresh cinematic eras or establish entirely new protagonists to anchor their theatrical runs. By upending this formula, director Jon Favreau faces a unique creative challenge—one he is intimately equipped to navigate. Favreau has explicitly clarified that this blockbuster is far from a...

: A North Korean female worker at a garment factory in Liaoning province, China. Multiple North Korean workers recently deployed to factories in northeastern China have tested positive for tuberculosis, raising serious doubts about the reliability of pre-departure health screenings conducted inside North Korea. A Daily NK source said on Wednesday that approximately 35,000 North Korean workers entered China between early this year and the end of last month. The workers were assigned primarily to garment processing factories, food production facilities, and seafood processing plants across Liaoning and Jilin provinces, two of the main destinations for North Korean overseas labor deployments. Early this month, three North Korean workers at a garment factory in Liaoning province tested positive for pulmonary tuberculosis and were repatriated to North Korea. The workers had been in China for less than a month before developing symptoms including fever and persistent cough. Local hospital testing confirmed the...

Youth convicted of Korean’s murder in 2016 armed robbery Kitso Makati was only 25 when, on 30 October 2016 in the dead of night, he gunned down two Korean nationals in an armed robbery, seemingly shooting the defenceless men without a second thought. Blasted by a bullet to the neck, Koo Jachul died almost instantly, while his friend and colleague, Jan Moonhan was shot in the thigh but escaped with his life. In the country as part of an international company that won a tender to refurbish Morupule A Power Station, the duo were attacked in the guesthouse in Palapye’s Extension Two location where they were staying. Last Wednesday (22 April), almost ten years on from the bloody burglary, Francistown High Court found Makati guilty of murder. On a day of contrasting emotions, the two men initially believed to have accompanied him that fateful night, Kagiso Gaadingwe, 34, and Tshiamelo...
