Peace may seem distant and unattainable, but calling for a return to a comprehensive peace process that includes everyone is still the only viable option out there. #Yemen

صار الجوع في اليمن أكثر وضوحًا من أي شعار، وأثقل من أي خطاب! الحياة اليومية للناس لم تعد تُقاس بالزمن، بل بالذل، بالانتظار على أرصفة الشوارع أو في بيوت خاوية، وبالخوف من الغد حين لا يبقى في الجيب إلا السؤال: كيف يمكننا أن نكمل هذه الحياة؟ #صنعاء #عدن

In this historic moment for Syria, marking the end of the 51-year brutal reign of the Assad regime, I want to remember civilians like 13-year-old Hamza, who was brutally tortured and murdered by the regime during the early months of the 2011 uprising.

Six months on, #Houthis continue to arbitrarily detain/disappear dozens of UN and civil society staff in #Yemen. They should immediately be released, and the #UN and donor countries must do more to increase pressure and protect remaining staff. https://t.co/wQ0l3ih1Qh

A new @amnesty report concludes that Israeli authorities are committing genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip. By continuing to transfer arms to Israel, the US government is violating its obligation to prevent genocide and risks being complicit. Arms embargo

قدرة العرب في امريكا على التأثير على إدارة ديمقراطية اكثر بكثير من قدرتهم إلى التأثير على إدارة جمهورية. دعم دونالد ترامب ضد كامالا هاريس بين كثير من العرب الأمريكيين غير مفهوم ومصدره في رأيي فقط ثقافة الانتقام، أو الاختلاف السطحي مع الحزب الديمقراطي في مسائل اجتماعية.

Human rights defenders are vital to peace, equality, and justice. As civic space shrinks, their work is more critical than ever. We must protect their safety and support open societies - they’re the foundation of a just and peaceful world. @FrontLineHRD

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is examining a plan to seal off humanitarian aid to northern Gaza in an attempt to starve out Hamas militants, a plan that could trap hundreds of thousands of Palestinians without food or water.

@Amnesty: Evacuation warnings issued by Israel to residents of Beirut and south Lebanon were inadequate, and in some cases misleading. These warnings do not absolve Israel of its obligations under international humanitarian law

I am glad to know that Abdullah was released. All abductees in Houthi jails must be freed.

Abdullah Al-Olofi—a Yemeni #Bahai detained in a brutal May 2023 raid by the #Houthi authorities—has been released. Four others remain jailed in #Yemen & Mr Al-Olofi’s release came with unjust conditions. The Houthis must free all jailed Baha’is without conditions & without delay.

The #Houthis have been arbitrarily arresting and disappearing dozens of Yemeni NGO and UN staff over the last few weeks (+ one woman's 9-month and 3-year-old children). Human Rights Watch @hrw will be releasing a new report with detailed findings tomorrow. #Yemen

We are yet to know where my friends Rabab, Asem and the rest are. Houthis continue their ruthless crackdown on civil society without the slightest respect for traditions and local norms (let alone laws).
