More than 20 children killed in DR Congo school fire
At least 24 schoolchildren have died in a stampede as
they tried to flee a fire that engulfed two schools in
rebel-held Bukavu in the eastern Democratic Republic of
Congo, officials there have said.
Adults are also reported to have died in the fire and there
are fears that the death toll could rise further in the
densely populated Kadutu commune.
Survivors have been taken to nearby hospitals, and
footage of the scene shows children lying on hospital
floors in pain.
Some 300 houses have also been destroyed in the fire,
the cause of which is unknown.
Rebel?appointed authorities released a provisional death
toll of 24 on Thursday evening, confirming previous
reports, but there are fears that more people may have
died.
Pictures circulating on social media show young children
lying motionless on the ground.
A witness quoted by Reuters news agency said the fire
had been put out by afternoon but smoke was still rising
from rubble and corrugated metal.
Bukavu, the capital of South Kivu province and one of DR
Congo's most crowded hillside cities, was captured by
M23 rebels in February last year.
Meanwhile the government in Kinshasa released a
statement on X, without specifying numbers of casualties.
"The Ministry of National Education and New Citizenship
expressed deep sorrow over the deadly fire," it said.
"With several lives lost and many injured, the toll remains
provisional. The minister offered condolences, affirmed
solidarity with families, and ordered assessments of
affected schools to ensure learning continuity."
The tragedy follows a similar fire in Kinshasa last
weekend, where residents died in a stampede at a
wedding banquet hall.
In response, the government has ordered strict safety
measures and deployed teams nationwide to enforce
standards at public gathering places.

Sex Pollution
Sex pollution is a concept found in cultural
anthropology
-
specifically in the work of lrzlary Douglas.
In her book Purity and Danger, she examined
some of the different ways modern and more primitive
peoples determine what is clean and unclean.
Douglas explain ed that "dirt is essentially
disorder." When we clean something, we are "positively reordering our environment, making it conform to an idea."
When something or someone is determined to be
dirty, it has been contaminated by a thing from a different
category. Until it is cleaned or purified, it is partially out of
order.
In Douglas's words, "rituals of purity and impurity
create unity in experience." What is out of order becomes alien, dissonant, and suspect, making everyone else
uncomfortable.
Sexual pollution occurs when the sexes interact in
a way that blurs or ofÍends boundaries between males and
females, arrd disorder is created between the sexes.
In the case of men, it is usually believed that sexual
pollution weakens virility and diminishes their masculine
power.
Some readers may be familiar with the primitive
practice of constructing "menstrual huts" that separate
menstruating women from men. Tribes that engaged in
this practice viewed menstruating women as impure or
tainted in some way, and believed that their feminine
impurity could infect or pollute the masculine energy of
the tribe's men
-
ultimately weakening them and making
the tribe as a whole more vulnerable.
Menstrual huts are a simple example of a practice
dealing with the concept of sex pollution. There are a wide
variety of other ways that cultures have sought to contain
female energy to maintain an ordered separation of male
and female sexual identity.
Symbolically speaking, masculine identity always
represents the creation of distance and separation from
the feminine, the safety oÍ the nurturing mother, and a
protected womb-like existence. Virility is established and
maintained by venturing away from the world of women
and out into the wild, dangerous world of the men who
contend with danger and uncertainty at the edge of the
cultural perimeter and beyond. Establishing a masculine
identity always means establishing that men are not
women through the creation or revelation of contrast
between the sexes.

Underground library in Warsaw metro invites
commuters to trade scrolling for stories
In Warsaw’s Targówek district, a metro ride has
become more than a daily routine. Now it offers a
chance to escape into a story. Thanks to Metroteka, a
newly opened subterranean library inside the
Kondratowicza M2 metro station, commuters can now
trade mindless scrolling for meaningful reading.
The 150-square-meter space is stocked with more than
16,000 books, all available through a fast self-checkout
system. Visitors can also borrow laptops, sip
complimentary coffee, and unwind in a cozy communal
area, all while waiting for their train.
“Our dream is for Metroteka to become an educational
and cultural center, and not just a place where you can
borrow your books from,” says Grażyna StrzelczakBatkowska, deputy director of the Targówek library.
A modern space that breathes life into books
Metroteka’s design is as inviting as its mission. A lush
hydroponic garden wall filled with herbs and flowers
gives the underground space a breath of fresh air,
literally. Basil, oregano, and other plants grow without
soil or sunlight, infusing the library with an unexpected
sense of vitality. The bookshelves, shaped like soft,
undulating waves, add to the organic feel.
“I always joke that books are not made of glass,”
Strzelczak-Batkowska says. “You can just pop in, grab
a few, throw them on a self-checkout machine, and
that’s it—you’re out on a new adventure.”
Aiming to reverse a national trend
Poland’s reading habits have been in steady decline for
years. A 2024 survey by the National Library of Poland
found that only 41 percent of respondents had read at
least one book in the past year. According to Tomasz
Makowski, director of the National Library, the legacy
of war has shaped these numbers. During World War
II, Poland lost 70 percent of its libraries.
“We had several generations that did not see their
parents or grandparents in front of a wall of books,”
Makowski says. “Reading is [also] not something
associated with adulthood, but with schools, teachers,
librarians, and usually mothers reading to children.”
By placing literature in the path of everyday
commuters, Metroteka hopes to shift that cultural
perception.
An open invitation to all
For Makowski, the location is just as important as the
books. “Opening a library in a metro station is like a
dream for us,” he says. “Libraries should be beautiful
and open; inviting, not intimidating. It’s not a shrine, but
a place where you can spend time freely, take part in
discussions, public consultations, or meet people.”
In the coming months, Metroteka plans to host author
readings, workshops, and classes to further engage the
community. Books can be returned either directly to the
library or via parcel lockers outside the station,
available around the clock.
As commuters pass through Kondratowicza station
with coffee in hand and a novel tucked under one arm,
Metroteka quietly transforms daily routines into cultural
moments. By meeting people where they are, literally
underground, the library isn’t just promoting reading.
It’s redefining what public space can offer.
