By 650 0

A Belgian environment minister, Joke Schauvliege, has been forced to resign as her false allegation that she was informed by the security personals that the ongoing school students protest demanding climate action had been targeted against her has been exposed.

Earlier, shortly after the security forces confirmed that they had not passed any such information, she apologised publically for the untrue statement she made in a gathering of farmers.

But, the students were not ready to admit the apology. Most of them responded as if the statement insulted the youngsters who stand with the noble cause of demanding climate action.

The resigned minister received severe criticism. Most of those who came out publically against the resigned minister were youngsters and environmentalists.

The European school students have been organising protests across the continent for last few weeks demanding climate action. The movement, which started in Brussels, has rapidly spread to each and every corner of Europe. The movement is entirely controlled by the school students. So far, nothing relevant has been received to assume that there is anything other than the far of spontaneity behind the rapid spread of the movement across the Europe.

The Belgian authorities have geared up their investigation into the alleged kidnap of children of Democratic Republic of Congo for certain orphanages run in Belgian.

It was a European media that firstly exposed the adoption scandal. The media found that some of the children living in the Belgian orphanages were not actually orphans as their biological parents were alive in the country from where they were brought to the continent. The media also released a controversial statement of the biological parents of one of the DR Congo children living in Belgian as an orphan. As per the statement, the child was taken away to Europe in the pretext of a holiday camp. According to the statement, the parents were convinced that their child would be returned to them after that camp. The media reported that the child’s parents were extremely worried about their kid as those taken their child did not keep their assurances.

Recently, in the investigation launched by the Belgian authorities, it has been identified that the child mentioned in the media report was not the only victim. The authorities have secured information about at least fifteen children who were brought to the continent in the similar manner.

The authorities are planning to collect DNA samples from all those who were brought to the continent in the same period in which the identified victims were brought in.


Julienne Mpemba, a Belgian-Congolese lawyer, is the prime suspect in the case. The lawyer denies all allegations of wrongdoings.

Families fleeing fighting between the DR Congo army and rebels walk toward the eastern city of Goma.

DR Congo, marred by the civil wars and diseases, is where the majority of African orphans live. A considerable number of African orphans live in Europe are from this country.

At this moment, it remains unclear why children are kidnapped from DR Congo.
