The British Government prioritised UAE ties over stopping "genocidal" Sudan massacre, parliament told
- The Foreign Office reportedly ignored over two years of real-time intelligence and explicit warnings from Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab @HRL_YaleSPH that the siege of El Fasher would culminate in mass civilian killings
- After the UAE-backed RSF captured El Fasher in October last year, at least 60,000 people may have been killed within weeks – six times the scale of the Srebrenica Genocide, twenty times 9/11, and higher than the initial death toll after the 1945 atomic detonation in Nagasaki
- Nathaniel Raymond of Yale stated that UK officials explicitly told him they were prioritising relationships with Abu Dhabi over their international legal obligations to prevent genocide
- As the UN Security Council penholder on Sudan, the UK allegedly had ample intelligence to act – such as sanctioning UAE officials to stop the flow of advanced weaponry to the RSF – but chose not to

@KVanValkenburg It’s kinda gross. I don’t like the guy much myself but he’s not a murderer or a rapist (or a guy who has put other’s lives at risk by driving drunk or high multiple times). It’s so out of proportion.
@KylePorterNS I don’t care for Wyndham much but it’s kind of out of hand at this point. Heroes and villains in sports is fun but the “get in the bunker” stuff is gross.
The Athletic reported that the USGA is leaving millions on the table. They're not pricing people out or making tickets unavailable. They're not going after every dollar. They, plus the club, prioritized the golf on a great course. What are we mad about? https://t.co/RL21SrZilS
Rory just said a tournament in Track 2 on the proposed new PGA Tour schedule is a glorified Korn Ferry event, and that the @RBCCanadianOpen shouldn’t be one of those. Good on Rory for standing up for the historic championship he’s won twice.
Today, my sister, Dr. Gulshan Abbas, turns 64. This day should be a day of celebration — instead, today is a somber and grim day, where I am reminded that this is her 8th birthday unjustly imprisoned by the CCP.
My sister is a retired medical doctor. She is a mother and a grandmother. She is not an activist, or a political person. She is not a criminal. Her only “crime” is her relation to me, an Uyghur American who exercised my freedom of speech by exposing China’s ongoing crimes against my people. She is one of the examples of thousands of innocent Uyghurs suffering under the CCP’s brutality.
My sister should be free, spending her birthday with her loved ones. Instead, she spends it suffering, unjustly and arbitrarily detained. The CCP wants our silence and for us to believe that speaking out has consequences. However, I know that words have power.
Today, I call on the international community, our allies and freedom to honor my sister on her birthday by using your social media to call for her release using #FreeGulshanAbbas. Raise her case, demand information on her condition, and call for her immediate and unconditional release.
