Only the devil asks humanity to make such decisions as this mother had to. Clearly devil-worship is now the official religion of the fighters in #Sudan - especially the #RSF.

The destruction and hunger that Sudan's war has brought leaves parents with some impossible choices.

How perverted are these soldiers to rape women and men, and elderly in #Ukraine to demonstrate their manliness and power. Even Mother #Russia must be weeping into her borscht. Reportage by the excellent @XimenaBorrazas

The monsters we create come home to roost, sooner or later. Poor #Pakistan #Afghanistan
Pakistan has always had Afghan blood on its hands. In the 1980s it armed the Mujahideen to kill Afghans. When they were no longer useful, it birthed another monster, Taliban, to continue the slaughter. Now Pakistan is bombing Afghanistan directly and murdering Afghan children.

Looking forward to reading. To make sense of the present, we must understand the past - which is always with us. Question is whether it can be shaken-off to make a new history. Tragically, usually not.

As I said at the time, the signature tune of the #Tigray genocide was the mass scale sexual violence against its women and girls, and many men and boys too
#Tigray: New report reveals systematic genocidal sexual violence during the war on Tigray The Commission of Inquiry on Tigray Genocide documents mass rape, sexual slavery, and reproductive harm targeting Tigrayan women and girls. Read more:👇🏾

The CCP’s War On Faith-genocide of Uyghur Muslims, atrocities against Tibetan Buddhists and Falon Gong, imprisonment of Christians and desecration of churches, are all gross violations of Article 18 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Good to see @dsnorthnorth speaking
Concerning reports from China about the detention of the Zion House Church leaders. https://t.co/2uIXqQ7cuj Freedom of religion or belief is a fundamental human right. This is a worrying indication of further persecution of Christians in China.

The fact is that democracy has been failing more and more egregiously in Africa. Whether power is usurped by a military coup or from within a hollowed out and corrupted democracy is moot. No wonder people of #Madagascar are rejoicing however misguidedly
Madagascar’s is the tenth successful African coup of the 2020s. So far the country seems to be giving its new leader the benefit of the doubt

The UN’s disgraceful role in #Ethiopia from top country level leadership at the time to agency leadership and mid and low level staff was well-established as an apologist at best and at worst passive enablers of genocide in #Tigray
#Commentary: Language Matters: Complicity in the #Tigray genocide https://t.co/POc7LBy6yY Since the war on Tigray began in November 2020, “the international community has often adopted the language of Abiy Ahmed’s regime,” which was “deliberately weaponized against the Tigrayan

Eritrea is the only FIFA country that did not participate in the 2026 World Cup qualifying, because their players often run away and disappear when traveling abroad for international games. As a result, the number of players who leave the country with the team is never the same

People like @JohnSimpsonNews are the Palestinians worst enemy, holding them in perpetual victimhood, keeping low the bar of expectations. Despite what happened to me, I never indulged in victimhood, nurtured my outrage by pouncing on arabs, tying them up and hacking them to death
BBC News's John Simpson hitting the nail on the head: "What this doesn't do in any way is sort out the Palestinian question" "What it does is stop the agony that people in Gaza have been suffering for two years" "But it doesn't create a future path for them" "Maybe that can

Hope you will get the chance to discuss whether one wrong justifies a retaliatory wrong. In other words, whether the horrors inflicted by evil #Hamas thru hostage taking and treating them so cruelly, excuses or justifies the brutalities of #Israel on Palestinians they imprisoned
Yes, I agree. My team will be in touch re an interview.

Much ado about this year's #Nobel #PeacePrize and whether or not Trump deserves it. But do you really want a poisoned chalice that jinxes peacemaking and brings more repression and conflict to whatever country it focuses on? My latest piece via @E_IR
