An image generated through the use of artificial intelligence has generated controversy in Argentina, after President Javier Milei published it on his social networks. This event took place during the treatment of the "omnibus law" in Congress. The illustration shared by the president on Instagram portrays a fictitious scene outside the National Congress. In it, you can see a huge lion holding the doors of a cage while a crowd, carrying Argentine flags, is both in the streets and inside the cage itself. Followers of libertarian thought interpreted the image as a representation of the lion liberating the Argentine people. However, controversy arose because, at first glance, the image seemed to show the opposite: the people in the crowd were facing the cage, as if they were entering it, instead of having their backs turned as they would if they were coming out from inside.
So far the president has not made any comments on the matter.According to figures from Tigray health officials, 60 percent of households suffer from moderate or severe hunger, compared to just 3 percentbefore the war. It is shocking to note that this rate is even higher today than during the war and blockade almost . Women in particular suffer the physical and mental scars of brutal conflicts. The conflict in Tigray has been marked by widespread sexual violence suffered by women and girls. Researchers estimate Turkmenistan Email List that around 43 percent of women have been victims of gender violence and that of those who have been raped, almost 70 percent have been gang raped, some in front of their families until they lose consciousness. And the real numbers are surely higher, since many women do not report their cases due to stigma. Health workers said many women had severe physical scars and noted that mental health care was difficult to access.
In this entire region of almost 7 million inhabitants there are only eight psychologists. Others struggle to care for babies and young children born from rape. They are constantly reminded of the horror they faced. If we add to that hunger and the need to care for poorly housed children with few resources, it becomes almost impossible to discuss solutions such as return or integration. For many, daily survival is all that is possible right now. Much more is needed for Tigrayans to begin rebuilding their lives and for the fragile peace to endure. Along with the resumption of food aid, international actors such as the United States must pressure Ethiopia to comply with the Pretoria agreement. Additionally, donors and humanitarian agencies must also invest in Tigray, including mental health services for those bearing the scars of war and conflict-related sexual violence.
