90% of Syrians live below the poverty line and the majority are food insecure. As the United States lifts sanctions, we must restart critical humanitarian assistance to foster stability and prevent extremists from manipulating vulnerable people.

"Pleased that @POTUS reversed his pause of Ukraine's air defense deliveries. But the devil is in the details. Reports of partial deliveries only partially defend Ukrainian civilians. Ukraine needs consistency in its support. Not stop-start whim-based assistance." -@SenatorShaheen.

Nhat sleeps on the floor of an overcrowded 29-person cell where he is barred from receiving outside medical care or getting family visits. He must be released and reunited with his daughter and USAGM must resume required support for @RadioFreeAsia.

As the US Agency for Global Media withholds Congressionally appropriated funds for @RadioFreeAsia, advocacy for their jailed journalists—like Nhat—has been disrupted. The Trump Administration and USAGM are playing directly into the hands of those who seek to stifle free speech.

The continued detention of @Succes_MASRA in Chad is beyond appalling, and his release should be immediate. The jailing of opposition figures undermines prospects of democracy and transparency in a country that has clamored for change. His case is being closely monitored.

As the Trump Administration touts a deal between DRC and Rwanda, it has left victims of rape without access to care in Eastern DRC—a conflict where sexual violence is rampant. Victims will require life-long care for HIV infections that could have been avoided with USAID's help.

The Kremlin is thrilled by @SecDef and @USDPColby's move to halt munitions and weapons shipments to Ukraine—despite President Trump's pledge just last week to do the opposite. This reckless decision allows Putin to further string Trump along and play for time on the battlefield.

Completely expected. The Kremlin welcomed the US decision to cut weapons shipments to Ukriane. “The less weaponry is supplied to Ukraine, the sooner the [invasion] will end,” spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, according to Interfax.

Ulviyya refused to be silenced, even after being brutally beaten by police in 2021. Today, she is detained pending trial on trumped up charges, where according to loved ones, she is being denied proper medical treatment and her health is deteriorating.
