It has become so difficult to find the right words to describe what's going on in Elfasher, harder still to find oned that will convince the world they should care But the unvarnished facts remain: The RSF is starving Elfasher. This is preventable. The world is complicit. #Sudan

Yes, the flotilla’s purpose is to expose Israel’s blockade on Gaza and provoke action. Like , do you think the sit-ins in diners in the south were really about getting a hamburger?

The sole purpose of the Hamas-Sumud flotilla is provocation. Israel, Italy, Greece, and the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem have all offered and continue to offer the flotilla a way to peacefully deliver any aid they might have to Gaza. The flotilla refused because they are not…



Key report from UN commission chaired by Navi Pillay: The State of #Israel has committed #genocide in #Gaza. Herzog, Netanyahu, Gallant "incited the commission of genocide". Next, the commission will examine complicity by other states. BBC article here: bbc.com/news/articles/…


They are of course correct - BBC report headlined “Israel committing #genocide in #Gaza, world's leading experts say” bbc.com/news/articles/…

76 Palestinians killed in past day, including 10 from malnutrition and 18 aid-seekers. How can this be a daily reality the world doesn’t stop?? haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

No, Netanyahu, it isn't recognition of a Palestinian state that promotes antisemitism. It is your cheapening of the important concept of antisemitism by using it to try to silence criticism of your genocide in Gaza. nytimes.com/2025/08/26/wor…


Trump for the Nobel. Come on. Even as he helps Israel to commit genocide in Gaza?

On Facebook, Cambodian PM Hun Manet shared a letter from US President @realDonaldTrump . Trump thanks Hun Manet for nominating him for the Nobel Peace Prize and further praises him as a strong leader who values human life and appreciates peace.

Y'all - we are through the looking glass. Fortunately I am confident that the #NobelPrize Committee isn't so easily swayed as to consider #Trump as a potential prize winner. Let's not forget, for the past eight months he's been helping Israel commit #genocide. That isn't peace.

U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Hun Manet for nominating him for the Nobel Peace Prize, while praising Cambodia’s role in securing peace with Thailand following weeks of deadly clashes along the border. khmertimeskh.com/501746619/trum…

Well colour me surprised: BBC quotes ex-British Army officers and military forensics expert saying Israel's explanation - and by clear implication Netanhayu's, obviously - that the "double tap" was a mistake is nonsense. It was "deliberate", he has concluded.

Every day videos like this come out of El Fasher, and every day more and more people try to flee the city. Fully aware of the risks of being caught by the RSF and shot, but driven by total desperation, constant hunger and lack of any hope the world will intervene. Sudan 🇸🇩

Over the past week I’ve seen RSF militiamen post clip after clip of them executing civilians attempting to escape the starvation siege they are imposing on Al Fashir. What is happening in North Darfur is genocide its a deliberate attempt to permanently alter the demographics of…

We agree. So when is the UK Government going to stop enabling attacks like these by suspending all arms transfers to Israel, including parts for the F-35 jets being used to bomb civilian targets?

Horrified by Israel’s attack on Nasser hospital. Civilians, healthcare workers and journalists must be protected. We need an immediate ceasefire.

Yeah, sure the double-tap was a mistake. Looking forward to a lot of war crimes trials in the near future for Israel's military and political leadership, which has brought the country to the status of a pariah. The country will be stained by this war for years. #Gaza #genocide

The IDF on Monday afternoon finally admitted mistakenly attacking Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, in southern Gaza, killing well-known journalists, including those from Reuters, as well as many as 14 others. @Jeremybob1 reports jpost.com/israel-news/ar…

Why does the U.S. continue to provide weapons to Israel to kill journalists, nearly 200 so far in Gaza? Why should U.S. taxpayers fund double-tap bombings that kill rescue workers and journalists?

To my fellow journalists worldwide: If you are not outraged by our colleagues in #Gaza being slaughtered — if you are not speaking out, demanding protection, and calling for accountability — shame on you. History will judge this silence. Follow the thread for a call to…



In a statement, the Israeli military says it “regrets any harm to uninvolved individuals and does not target journalists as such". No one who is objective believes this; and the Israeli military and government couldn't care less. #Gaza #genocide bbc.com/news/live/cn72…

This Russian-led campaign is deceiving Africans; it actually deploys them to build drones for the Ukraine war: africa.businessinsider.com/local/lifestyl… Be aware: Russia is a deeply racist country where Africans are often assaulted by right-wing gangs with total impunity: themoscowtimes.com/2025/07/23/don…

Hello South African media, please look into this “programme” recruiting specifically young women to travel to Russia for “training & jobs.” It stinks to the highest of heavens. It has all the markers of a human trafficking operation & modern slavery arrangements. Frightening.

The UK Government must urgently suspend all arms transfers to Israel, and take decisive legal, diplomatic, and economic action to hold all perpetrators accountable. Take action: map.org.uk/campaigns/gaza…
