We crossed Halfaya Bridge into newly-liberated areas in Khartoum Bahri where civilians are emerging from a year and a half long RSF seige Their new relief is underpinned by deep horror - an ongoing reality for thousands still trapped in Sudan's capital. https://t.co/BG2sTKPuWG

As the police brace themselves for more riots, the role social media has played is under the spotlight, with calls for the big tech giants to take action. But should access be limited and what would that even look like?

“The statement that Greater Manchester Police have put out actually is quite misleading.” The footage of a police officer kicking and stamping on the head of a man lying on the ground at Manchester Airport is “shocking and horrific”, says Shabnam Chaudhuri. 📻

The situation in Sudan brings me to my knees, every single fucken day. Every time I kneel to pray, I am brought to tears. And then I get up, write some emails, go to meetings, act like all is normal. And sometimes I wonder - does anyone give a f my family is still in a war zone?
