Driving food insecurity and competition for resources, climate change can indirectly intensify conflict risks. Cornelia Scholz explains how we can analyse trends in climate and conflict data, and understand the risks.

Landmines and other unexploded ordnance litter a large part of Ukraine today, including on agricultural land. Farmers in impacted regions are returning to potentially contaminated lands, unsure of what lies beneath them. With @AFP, we explored the issue

RT @swellis_: 🔦 Teamed up with @bellingcat to go inside the shady, dystopian world of "sports betting farms".

Find our original investigation into the virtual sports factory streamed by 1xBet here:

1xBet is blacklisted in several countries, but remains one of the largest online casinos in the world, with a reported turnover of billions of dollars. Many of the streamed games we located were filmed in regions 1xbet cannot operate in.

Ismail Vali, CEO of Yieldsec told Search Party that these games generate small amounts of bets and that 1xBet makes less than 10% profit on them. But they direct attention to the more lucrative casino games on the website.

Gambling company 1xBet sponsors some of the biggest teams in the world including PSG and Barcelona and are betting that you'll give your money to games like Frost Ball and Table Basketball, streaming 24 hours a day.

Join us in our Discord Server now as we speak to @Cecillia on how open source data collection can help monitor the scale of armed violence in Brazil.

Bellingcat and Daily Nation identified three videos containing ammunition crates that show labels of the Kenyan Ministry of Defence (MoD) allegedly left behind by the RSF inside an unknown depot most likely in the Salha neighbourhood of Omdurman.

The letter is signed by the likes of @cff_kenya @thekhrc @AfricaAW @KAPARANET @MathareSJustice @MUHURIkenya @LawyersofAfrica @utu_wetu among others.

It also calls upon the UN Security Council to "urgently summon Kenya to respond to these serious concerns regarding its involvement in fueling the continuation of the Conflict in Sudan.".

The letter demands "those responsible for the alleged exports, transfers, and diversion of ammunition to the RSF be held accountable." And calls for Kenya not to be included in further peace talks as an impartial arbiter regarding the conflict in Sudan.

Today Kenyan civil society organisations have called upon the government and the UN security council to take action following our reporting with the @NationAfrica. We found Kenyan-labelled ammunition crates in a suspected Rapid Support Forces depot.

On its website Crushmate claimed to specialise in “crafting an AI girl of your dreams”, but on social media ads it promoted a tool for making nonconsensual nude images of real women. @KolinaKoltai and @melzxy pull back the layers of the “CrushAI” network.
