Happy to share my latest publication: a brief for @zenithdotme on contraversial amendments to #Iraq's Personal Status Law. Parliament voted on the bill yesterday despite public outrage. A forthcoming piece will examine sociolegal & political repercussions magazine.zenith.me/en/society/per…
If you’re going to talk about famine & starvation, you need to talk about Sudan. Since August 2024, many regions have been declared in Phase 5, the HIGHEST level of food insecurity. A year of the WORST famine the world has seen in 40 years & no real uproar from the world.
While the Egyptian government has silenced al-Azhar on #Gaza, here's Sayyed Sistani's latest statement on the subject. We need more spiritual leaders to speak up. Sayyed Fadhlullah's office has been consistently outspoken on Gaza, too.
They buried food that was waiting at the border to feed starving human beings.
⚡️🇮🇱JUST IN: The Israeli army admitted it destroyed and buried 1,000 aid trucks after blocking them from entering Gaza, saying “the contents expired while waiting.” The contents expired because they were blocked from entry initially by Israel. Kan Hebrew reporter added: “The…
جورج عبد الله .. 40 سنة في سجون فرنسا لأجل فلسطين. 🧵اليوم.. تُرحّل فرنسا المناضل اللبناني جورج إبراهيم عبد الله إلى بيروت بعد 40 عامًا من الاعتقال. لم يكن هذا القرار سهلًا.. فالرجل الذي حيّر القضاء الفرنسي، وأقلق "إسرائيل" وأميركا لعقود، لم يُهزم يومًا خلف القضبان.. القصة…
He was coerced at gunpoint, not asked. هذه نتيجة "عوّي ولاك" More disturbing are the number of people who have been using this phrase over the past few months on social media. Dehumanisation of minoritised ppl in Syria is normalised in under 8 months.
His name is Ahmed Zuhair Khaddour. He was 23 years old. Ahmed was asked by the security members to bark, they hit him in the head with the butt of the gun because he refused to bark, causing a brain haemorrhage. He died hours later. Humiliation remains a reality.
Why parachute/drop the aid? Why not open the borders? It's dehumanizing to drop aid and have Palestinians scramble for food and bits. Open the damn borders!!

While protests gather throughout Iraq in response to the Khor Abdullah fiasco, Banu Ka'ab tribesmen issue an ultimatum to the government. Either it resolves the matter in 11 days (by the Arba'een), or there will be a violent revolt.
الان العشائر العراقية تمهل الحكومة مهلة بعد زيارة الأربعين في حال عدم الاستجابة والتعرض للمتظاهرين بخصوص قضية خور عبدالله سيتم سحلهم بالشوارع 🔥🔥
🇩🇪 Fully aware this is beyond my UN remit. BUT. As a conscientious European I ask: will anyone confront Germany for its POLICE’s shameful, sustained, and widespread violence that, after a year, reveals an institutionalized descent into repression? While too many Germans remain,…
This was Germany today: police brutally beating up peaceful protesters against genocide in Gaza. Imagine destroying your own democracy so that another country can continue to commit genocide.
The Egyptian government's repression of any activism for Gaza is frightening and insane. A crowd fund's organisers have been arrested, and the government has forced al-Azhar to delete a tweet condemning Israel's starvation of Gaza.
Empty words if not accompanied by action.
Canada condemns the Israeli government’s failure to prevent the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian disaster in Gaza. Israel’s control of aid distribution must be replaced by comprehensive provision of humanitarian assistance led by international organizations. Many of these are…
BREAKING 🇵🇸 Communications with the @GazaFFlotilla’s Handala have now been jammed. All eyes on the Handala as it approaches the Gaza strip to deliver critical humanitarian aid.
NEW: Canada is awarding $169 million in military contracts to an American company whose subsidiary was found legally responsible for the abuse of Iraqi men at Abu Ghraib, reveals @AlexCosh_. readthemaple.com/canada-awards-…
This genocide would not have been possible without the help of many media outlets that aimed to manufacture consent.
A joint statement on Gaza from AFP, AP, BBC News and Reuters
The US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation designated today as a "women-only" aid distribution day Thousands of women gathered to receive desperately needed aid. Israeli occupation forces opened fire towards the crowds. At least one woman has been killed so far
الخوف من مجزرة طحين أخرى...
دخول عدد من الشاحنات المحملة بالطحين إلى جنوب قطاع غـ..ـزة. الحمدلله!!
A disturbing bill that will largely affect people of the global majority more than anyone else, institutionalizing racism further.
Canada’s border bill is a dangerous rights grab that must be defeated! jacobin.com/2025/07/carney…
