Les vins seront proposés aux membres de Crurated à travers une vente privée, à partir du 25 juillet.

« L’innovation appliquée à l’élaboration du vin est la clé pour produire et distribuer une bouteille de vin d’exception », a affirmé Charles. « Durant des décennies, le vin a été distribué aux amateurs les plus exigeants sans se soucier d’améliorer le processus. Crurated permet l’accès aux vins rares et l’utilisation de la technologie blockchain et NFT offre aux acheteurs l’authenticité et la provenance, si nécessaires au sein de cette industrie. Ils sont le partenaire idéal pour nous, au fur et à mesure que nous nous lançons dans une nouvelle étape de ventes directes de vin au consommateur. »

Enregistré pour toujours sur la blockchain, le NFT vérifiera l’authenticité de la bouteille et offrira d’autres informations importantes, comme l’historique de propriété, le millésime, l’emplacement du domaine, le cépage ainsi que d’autres détails clés. Il est très facile d’accéder aux NFT en touchant un téléphone avec NFC ou RFID. L’historique de la bouteille sera également mis à jour à travers un nouveau registre de blockchain, chaque fois que le vin est revendu et le token passe d’un client à un autre.

Même si les vins de Charles Lachaux seront vendus directement aux consommateurs, exclusivement à travers la plateforme Crurated, les distributeurs continueront à traiter les ventes aux restaurants B2B.

À propos de Charles Lachaux

Cameroon Displays Separatist Leader’s Corpse to Deter Rebels, Recruits

Cameroonian authorities have been displaying the corpse of a separatist leader in towns and villages to deter the rebels and warn youth against joining their cause. Cameroon’s military says last week it killed Lekeaka Oliver, who was wanted for working with rebel groups in neighboring Nigeria to kill civilians, commit beheadings, and burn hundreds of public buildings.

Cameroon’s military says hundreds of people have watched the past few days as they paraded the corpse of separatist leader Lekeaka Oliver.

The military says its troops last week killed Oliver, a self-proclaimed field marshal who led the Red Dragon rebel group, in Menji, a town near the border with Nigeria, along with his bodyguard.

It accused Oliver of beheading at least 10 people, including three traditional rulers, and attacking scores of schools since 2017.

Chamberlin Ntouou Ndong is the highest-ranking government official in Meme, an administrative unit in Kumba, a town also along the border, where he spoke Sunday to a crowd.

Ndong said Cameroon’s government asked the military to display the corpse as a gruesome warning to Anglophone separatists fighting to carve out an independent state from Cameroon and its French-speaking majority.

“It is a testimony that all those who are not willing to surrender are going to face our forces of law and order. The head of state gave a word out to all who remain in the bushes to lay down their arms and join the remaining population in the development of this country,” he said.

Ndong says the display aims deter Cameroonian youth from joining rebel groups.

Capo Daniel is leader of the Ambazonia Defense Forces, a separatist group that fights alongside the Red Dragons.

Daniel says the parading of their leader’s corpse will not stop the rebels from fighting.

“Field marshal has been replaced by a younger and more vibrant leader,” he said. “Our armed resistance against Cameroon rule will only intensify. Our forces have received instructions to carry out reprisal actions in response to the killing of [the] field marshal. Such display of dead body by the Cameroon government only adds to its list of terror tactics being used to subjugate our people. Our fight of self-determination will only intensify.”

Ephraim Foreke is a teacher at a government school in Fontem in the Lebialem administrative unit where many of Oliver’s rebel camps were located.

Foreke says Oliver’s death is a relief for civilians who lived in fear of the Red Dragons.

Speaking to VOA Monday, Foreke said locals have started cleaning schools with the hope that children and teachers who fled the attacks will return.

“We are in front of the administrative block. There are some people below who are clearing down to the Francophone section. All the doors were destroyed. Chairs that were there were all eaten by rats. Every place is like a graveyard. They ransacked the whole place,” he said.

Cameroon’s government vowed the military will protect civilians and their property.

The U.N. says Cameroon’s five-year separatist conflict has killed more than 3,300 people and displaced at least 750,000 internally and to neighboring Nigeria.

US: China Not Doing Enough to Avert African Food Crisis

The U.S. aid chief is urging nations to do more to avert a food crisis in East Africa and singled out China for not doing enough.

Samantha Power, the head of the U.S. Agency for International Development, said that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has exacerbated the food crisis in the Horn of Africa, and that nations must increase their efforts to avert a famine there.

In remarks Monday at Washington’s Center for Strategic and International Studies, Power said that China “in particular stands out for its absence” in humanitarian efforts in East Africa.

She said if China exported more food and fertilizer to the global market or to the World Food Program, it would “significantly relieve pressure on food and fertilizer prices and powerfully demonstrate the country’s desire to be a global leader and a friend to the world’s least developed economies.”

China did not immediately respond to Power’s comments.

Power also criticized nations that have refused to condemn Russia’s war in Ukraine and the effects it is having on the global food market.

“Countries that have sat out this war must not sit out this global food crisis,” she said.

Power praised Indonesia for lifting restrictions on palm oil, saying such actions should be followed by other nations.

“We encourage other nations to make similar moves, especially since several of the countries instituting such bans have been unwilling to criticize the Russian government’s belligerence,” she said.

Global food prices have risen sharply as a result of the war in Ukraine, which has traditionally been a leading global exporter of wheat.

Power said that at least 1,103 children recently died from hunger in the Horn of Africa and that 7 million other children in the region are severely malnourished.

“Now we need others to do more, before a famine strikes, before millions more children find themselves on the knife’s edge,” she said.

The aid chief, who will visit the Horn of Africa this weekend, announced $1.18 billion in U.S. aid to the region, including sorghum — a local grain — as well as supplements for malnourished children and veterinary help for dying livestock.
