Louis-Henry Durand was a Haitian writer.

He was born in Cap-Haïtien on 21 June 1887 and was educated in Paris at the Lycée Janson-de-Sailly. Upon his return to Cap-Haïtien, he started a commercial career and got involved in literary life, establishing the monthly periodical Printania and a literary circle with the same name.[1]

He published his first poetry collection, Cléopâtre, consisting of lyrical poetry, in 1917. This was followed by Roses rouges (1930, "Red Roses"), a collection of love poetry that was critically acclaimed, particularly by Léon Laleau writing in Apothéoses.

He died in 1945.


During the Kurdish-Turkish conflict, the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) has actively recruited and kidnapped children. The organization has been accused of abducting more than 2,000 children by Turkish Security Forces. The independent reports by the Human Rights Watch (HRW), the United Nations (UN) and the Amnesty International have confirmed the recruitment and use of child soldiers by the organization and its armed wings since the 90's.[2][3][4][5] In 2001, it was reported that the recruitment of the children by the organization has been systematic. Several reports have reported about the organization's battalion, called Tabura Zaroken Sehit Agit, which has been formed mainly for the recruitment of children.[6] It was also reported that the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) had recruited children.[7]

According to the Turkish Security Forces, the PKK has abducted more than 983 children aged between 12 and 17. More than 400 children have fled from the organization and surrendered to the security forces. The United Nations Children's Fund report, published in 2010, saw the recruitment of the children by the PKK concerning and dangerous.[8]

In 2016, the Human Rights Watch, accused the PKK of committing war crimes by recruiting child soldiers in the Shingal region of Iraq and in neighboring countries.[3][9]

Throughout the Syrian Civil War multiple media outlets including Human Rights Watch have confirmed that the YPG, an organization linked to the PKK, has been recruiting and deploying child soldiers. Despite a claim by the group that it would stop using children, which has been violation of international law, the group has continued the recruitment and use of children.[10][11][12]

In 2018, the annual UN report on children in armed conflict found 224 cases of child recruitment by the People's Protection Units and its women's unit in 2017, an almost fivefold increase from the 2016. Seventy-two of the children, nearly one-third, were girls. The group was also reported to had abducted children to enlist them.[13]

Paphos Gate (Turkish: Πύλη Πάφου, Turkish: Baf Kapısı) is one of the three historical gates of the walls of Nicosia. It was known originally in Italian as "Porta di San Domenico" (Gate of San Domenico) after the Gate San Domenico of the earlier Lusignan walls, which it replaced and to which its location is very close to. Historically, it enabled passage to the road to the town of Paphos and the southwest of the island.[14][15]
