In 2012 I began to cover the tragedy of the #Rohingya in #Burma, and for the next years I became obsessed with trying to understand it. I'm not quite sure if I've succeded, but the result of those efforts is this book, published today by @VersoBooks https://t.co/yTF7rH5VtD

@DerekTonkinUK @mabecker17 @FrontierMM Thanks for the effort.

Muere la reina Sirikit de Tailandia. Ésta es la necrológica que escribí en 2019, cuando trabajaba en la delegación de EFE en Bangkok, y que ha estado seis años guardada en la "nevera".

@DerekTonkinUK @assesskaiser1 The US representative did use the word "genocide" (quite hypocritically, IMHO, as I don't think you can argue the "clearance operations" in 2017 are genocide and what Israel is doing in Gaza isn't, but that'd another matter) https://t.co/Cf8LbghtmZ
