 📚 My book, Conflict Minerals Inc. is out now with Hurst and Oxford University Press. Reviewers say it’s “lucid, compassionate and personal”, and a “devastating and essential reading.” Here is to a few pictures and key points... đŸ§”

Decades of solid research by both scholars and practitioners alike agree that airdrops are not a useful humanitarian approach. They are inefficient and dangerous. Now let’s take a guess at what a whole lot of Western governments aim to do against ongoing starvation in Gaza

Depuis que l’AFP a Ă©tĂ© fondĂ©e en aoĂ»t 1944, nous avons perdu des journalistes dans des conflits, nous avons eu des blessĂ©s et des prisonniers dans nos rangs, mais aucun de nous n’a le souvenir d’avoir vu un collaborateur mourir de faim. Nous refusons de les voir mourir.

Aberrant de voir des dĂ©putĂ©s inconscients d’extrĂȘme droite parler d’un “massacre” qui n’a eu lieu uniquement sur Fox News avec des fausses photos y attribuĂ©es, puis encore de confondre M23 et ADF. Tout Ă  fait sage que Bruxelles s’abstienne de commenter de telles bĂȘtises.

đŸŽ„ Le 13 fĂ©vrier 2025, 70 chrĂ©tiens ont Ă©tĂ© sauvagement dĂ©capitĂ©s en RDC par un groupe islamiste liĂ© Ă  l’État islamique. Le Rwanda massacre, pille et dĂ©stabilise la RDC sous l’ordre de KagamĂ©. Et Bruxelles se tait. Jusqu’oĂč ira le silence complice de l’Union europĂ©enne ? —

As we witness the poison of hate, racism and othering gain ground across the globe these days, 7 April is a harrowing reminder of how the world failed in the face of evil 31 years ago. Never again shouldn’t be a mere slogan. #Kwibuka

Pour comprendre les guerres, les Ă©tudier est aussi un bon dĂ©but, car cela permet d’éviter les raccourcis trompeurs. Une gauche engagĂ©e est cruciale, nous avons plus besoin que toujours aujourd’hui, mais l’engagement se nourri aussi d’une analyse critique et sĂ©rieuse.

It's extraordinary to note that this 11-year old article, which I wrote on 29 November 2013 as Deputy Permanent Representative in @RwandaUN, and which was published by @ethuin in his "Amani Itakuya" projet, didn't age at all. https://t.co/TSXteHTUST

On this day in 2017, Michael J. Sharp and Zaida Catalán were assassinated while investigating war crimes in Congo’s Kasai region. Most people behind this political murder enjoy impunity until today, just as much as others involved in killings in the region for over three decades.

It’s tasteless, unethical and a proof of utter analytical poverty to weaponize the murder of my colleagues Michael and Zaida for unconnected, misleading and amateurish political lobbying.
