WSNSF is not a new term at all!
We were shouting about it from 1915 and on. Nobody cared!
The world encouraged #genocides by failing to save the #Armenians, the #Yazidis, the #Kurds.
You are not allowed to be surprised now that it is happening again.
The world encouraged it!
WSNSF= “Wounded Child, No Surviving Family”.
This is a new term/concept just entering the #HumanitarianAid/#EmergencyMedicine lexicon with the #GazaWar.
Listen to this👇🏻
Nassim Nicholas Taleb (@nntaleb), the Lebanese-American philosopher, statistician, and bestselling author of The Black Swan, said on his X social media page that he turned down an invitation to lecture in Azerbaijan despite organizers substantially increasing their offer.
“Was asked to go to Azerbaijan for a lecture . I declined (they yuugely upped their offer, not understanding my ethics, thinking it would make a difference).
I will not set foot in Azerbaijan with Ruben Vardanyan jailed there."
Former Artsakh State Minister, businessman, and philanthropist Ruben Vardanyan has been held by Azerbaijani authorities since September 27, 2023, after being abducted while attempting to leave Artsakh during the forced displacement of its Armenian population following Azerbaijan’s occupation of the region.

Half a century later, MEA’s monopoly over Lebanon’s aviation market has come to an end, after its long-standing exclusivity expired.
First officially granted in 1969 and extended several times since, the exclusivity deal given to MEA (which is 99% owned by Lebanon’s central bank) prevented other airlines from registering as Lebanon-based commercial carriers.
Government sources told L’Orient-Le Jour that there has, so far, been no decision to renew or extend the arrangement. According to some observers, this may reflect a lack of political will.
Its expiry could pave the way for greater competition in the market, potentially helping reduce travel costs that have long weighed on Lebanese travelers. MEA has often come under criticism for fares widely perceived as exorbitant.

Today is Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day.
Over 3 million Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians, Yazidis, and Maronites were killed by the Ottoman Turks.
This is what an actual genocide looks like. Not whatever people are calling a genocide today.
Why didn’t the new Pope mention the Armenian Genocide yesterday? For decades the Vatican has honoured the martyrs of the Genocide - as has every Pope before him.
Interesting. Did the systematic slaughter of 1.5 million Armenians become “political” even for the Vatican?
It’s pretty simple. If you buy and sell from the people that butchered small children, drowned them in the sea, burned our homes and churches, and then sell that crap to our own community to make money, you are a traitor.

الرئيس جوزاف عون في الذكرى الحادية عشرة بعد المئة للإبادة الأرمنية:
• نستذكر بألم عميق ضحايا هذه المأساة الإنسانية، ونستحضر معاني الصمود والتمسّك بالهوية.
• شكّل لبنان ملاذاً آمناً للأرمن الذين وجدوا فيه وطناً ثانياً، فأسهموا في بنائه وازدهاره، وأصبحوا جزءاً لا يتجزأ من نسيجه الوطني وتعدديته الغنية.
• إحياء هذه الذكرى يشكّل مناسبة للتأكيد على أهمية صون الذاكرة الجماعية، وتعزيز قيم العدالة والكرامة الإنسانية، والعمل من أجل مستقبل يسوده السلام والاحترام المتبادل بين الشعوب.
• نحيّي الشعب الأرمني، ونؤكد تمسّك لبنان برسالته كأرض للحرية والتنوع، وإيمانه بأن التمسّك بالذاكرة هو ركيزة يشكّل ركيزة أساسية في العمل على منع تكرار المآسي.
May the advent of the Risen Christ bring peace, safety, empathy, and forgiveness to all mankind, especially those suffering through this devastating period. We all need a happier and gentler Easter.
Years of political repression and creeping urban decay have hollowed out Istanbul's soul, designing dissent out of its once-vibrant streets and erasing its rich cosmopolitan past from popular memory.
My (sad) farewell to the city:
