Afrikaanse Unie wijst 'elke erkenning van Somaliland' af

ADDIS ABABA (ANP/AFP) - De Afrikaanse Unie (AU) heeft verklaard dat zij "elke erkenning van Somaliland" afwijst. Israël kondigde eerder aan dat het het afgescheiden Somalische gebied als een soevereine staat beschouwt.

In een verklaring van voorzitter Mahamoud Ali Youssouf roept de AU op de Afrikaanse grenzen te respecteren. "Elke poging om de eenheid, soevereiniteit en territoriale integriteit van Somalië te ondermijnen, brengt het risico met zich mee van een gevaarlijk precedent met verstrekkende gevolgen voor de vrede en stabiliteit op het continent", aldus de verklaring.

Youssouf benadrukt daarnaast dat hij "elke poging of actie om Somaliland als een onafhankelijke entiteit te erkennen, ten stelligste afwijst" en dat Somaliland "een integraal onderdeel blijft van de Federale Republiek Somalië".

Friday Squid Blogging: Squid Camouflage

New research:

Abstract: Coleoid cephalopods have the most elaborate camouflage system in the animal kingdom. This enables them to hide from or deceive both predators and prey. Most studies have focused on benthic species of octopus and cuttlefish, while studies on squid focused mainly on the chromatophore system for communication. Camouflage adaptations to the substrate while moving has been recently described in the semi-pelagic oval squid (Sepioteuthis lessoniana). Our current study focuses on the same squid’s complex camouflage to substrate in a stationary, motionless position. We observed disruptive, uniform, and mottled chromatic body patterns, and we identified a threshold of contrast between dark and light chromatic components that simplifies the identification of disruptive chromatic body pattern. We found that arm postural components are related to the squid position in the environment, either sitting directly on the substrate or hovering just few centimeters above the substrate. Several of these context-dependent body patterns have not yet been observed in S. lessoniana species complex or other loliginid squids. The remarkable ability of this squid to display camouflage elements similar to those of benthic octopus and cuttlefish species might have convergently evolved in relation to their native coastal habitat.

As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven’t covered.

FFmpeg Developer Files DMCA Against Rockchip After Two-Year Wait for License Fix

GitHub has disabled Rockchip's Media Process Platform repository after an FFmpeg developer filed a DMCA takedown notice, nearly two years after the open-source project first publicly accused the Chinese chipmaker of license violations. The notice, filed December 18, claims Rockchip copied thousands of lines of code from FFmpeg's libavcodec library -- including decoders for H.265, AV1, and VP9 formats -- stripped the original copyright notices, falsely claimed authorship and redistributed the code under Apache's permissive license rather than the original LGPL.

FFmpeg first called out Rockchip in February 2024 for "blatantly copy and pasting FFmpeg code" into its driver, but the chipmaker's last response suggested no intention to resolve the matter. The DMCA notice requests either removal of the infringing files or restoration of proper attribution and an LGPL-compatible license.
