Hi @SusannahWalden - I just emailed you and followed you. I work for the landmine clearance charity, The HALO Trust, and am briefly in Kabul. Kindly follow for DM. Thank you.


I had a hand in this bit of fun about the real @Vicky_McClure in my job with @TheHALOTrust @ITN @GMB #TriggerPoint #TherealVickyMcClure

Introducing the real-life @Vicky_McClure at HALO: Fiona Kilpatrick!🌟 Just like Vicky’s character in @ITV #TriggerPoint, Fiona’s bravery working with explosives is remarkable. Her story shows the courage and determination needed to build a safer world. bit.ly/3PoBNmF

Dozens of displaced people have been abducted by suspected Boko Haram jihadists in north-east Nigeria's Borno State. Officials say victims were seized when they were collecting firewood in a forest. It is not yet clear how many people are missing and exactly when they were taken


Because, @nelsabbey , Africa is a country. I'm pale and stale, but even so, this infuriates me all the time. I've been blessed to live in West Africa. I can usually tell a Gambian from a Sierra Leonean by looks or accent. But all Black Africans lumped together? It's just stupid.

Curious: why are, say, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Indian all seperate categories yet "Black African", the most diverse group of people on earth, are lumped together as a single ethnic group?

Huge snowfall has trapped hundreds in Shakardara district near Kabul #Afghanistan. HALO machinery, normally used in minefields, is now clearing snow and avalanches to reopen roads so local villages can access food, water and medical services.
