We have lost touch with our colleagues in Gaza. I’m extremely concerned about their safety and another night of unspeakable horror for 1M children in #Gaza. All humanitarians and the children and families they serve MUST be protected.

Russia says Yevgeny Prigozhin was on a plane that crashed on a flight from Moscow to St Petersburg. All passengers and e crew, are dead. Wagner-linked channels say Russian air defense *shot down the plane* – the same private jet Prigozhin regularly uses. t.me/rian_ru/212996
This is a thread about why Afghan women should be invited to a meeting the @UN @antonioguterres will host next week about Afghanistan. The Taliban, after seizing power in Aug 2021, stripped women/girls of most rights. Women fought back. #GenderApartheid
Please read: “A Note from Sudanese Women” Reports and calls for action drafted by 20 organizations and networks of women across #Sudan #WomenPeaceSecurity
Last year, a coworker randomly asked me to hand-deliver an antique violin across the country. I said yes, because why not. I had no idea what I was getting into, and now I need your help. A 🧵
Thinking of #Sudan and wishing peace. Women and men marched, protested, demanded, and overthrew a regime to have peace. Their hopes of democracy were dashed by military coup, economic decline, and political instability. And now more.
All flights at Sudan's Khartoum Airport are canceled as the army battles the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. The US, UK & other foreign embassies are asking their citizens to shelter in place. US Secretary of State calls it a "fragile" situation. Our update on CNN
The Sudanese people have worked so hard for peace. They deserve so much better. May you all be safe. #Sudan
Deeply disturbing to find active clashes between military forces underway in Khartoum this morning. I urge everyone to stay safe by sheltering in place as my staff and I are doing.
What is happening in Tenn. with @brotherjones_ & @Justinjpearson shows that the fight for U.S. democracy was not resolved in the last election, that what can't be done at the federal level will be executed in the state house. These are end of Reconstruction,Jim Crow-era tactics.
The #Afghan de facto authority's decision to ban women Afghan staff from working for the @UN, including @UNICEF, is unconscionable. It's another affront to women’s fundamental rights and further undermines life-saving work for children across the country. unicef.org/press-releases…

This thread. US life expectancy lags because of young deaths.😢 “More years of American lives were erased by drugs, guns & road deaths in 2021 alone than from Covid” ~“Beyond 70, US mortality/survival rates =~other rich countries. Between teenage & early middle age.. vast gulf”
Time for perhaps the most damning stat of all: One in 25 American five-year-olds today will not make it to their 40th birthday. No parent should ever have to bury their child, but on average across the US one set of parents from every kindergarten class most likely will.

How desperate is a regime, if it allows poisoning of school girls (or even orders it)? How weak is a regime, if it shows videos of rape in schools to intimidate girls? And how far will such a regime go to tame this revolution? Don’t look away. They kill in darkness. #Iran
The @GermanyDiplo ’s guidelines on Feminist Foreign Policy are out! What are they focussing on? Whats missing? And - yes - what are they saying on nuclear weapons? Spoiler: It’s a step forward, but could use more ambition. auswaertiges-amt.de/en/aussenpolit…
