My latest words and photographs for Aljazeera, 'Refuge of the last Dreamers.'
A sleepy, dreamy, lazy weekend read that will transport you to Luang Prabang, Laos.
Read, view and escape - if but a few minutes - a world seemingly racing to self-destruction.

Bogdan Syrotiuk, has been framed, arrested and incarcerated. His arrest is unlawful, oppressive and draconian.
Fighting for Bogdan’s release is also fighting for an end to the repression of the working class and the sadistic proxy wars in Ukraine and Gaza. https://t.co/e1RSJUt9bK

@DamasDuke Quite possibly, Damas. To be human is to be wrong. The scenarios you cite were mentioned in the spirit of being wrong. I suggested that the Rwandan gov't. was 'questionable' because a multiplicity of human rights ORGS known for rigorous research and accuracy have stated it was.

On this day, 30 years ago, on April 7, 1994, one of the most harrowing events in modern history began: the Rwandan genocide.
Below is a piece [+photographs] that I wrote for Al Jazeera.

@arthurkaruletwa Thanks, Arthur. Some are, some not so much. Seeing a large percentage of women when I visited parliament and researched the story was affirming.

@YolandeMakolo Thank you, Yolande. Yes, Africans "can do government," especially Rwandan women. The core message of this specific story was rooted in the ability of ordinary Rwandans to forgive one another.

@Richard00691257 Not at all I was being stupid. I love the Orwell quote—extraordinary. I watched Dr Moor. If everyone had her intelligence, thoughtfulness, compassion, and humanity, there would be no war.

[Jack Picone @JackPicone]

@Richard00691257 Of course not, Richard. I knew that, I think. I don't see a scintilla of anti-anything from the pro-Zionist corner. I see accuracy, objectivity, proportionality, and, most of all, I see mountains of humanism. Then again, I could be wrong; I often am.

Piercing, wounding and irrefutable statistics. Yet an overwhelming majority of world leaders [contradiction of nomenclature] continue to look away. Predictably, their inaction is rooted in money, politics, and power. A meld of hypocrisy and conscience retardation. Insanity.

11K Palestinians and
4K Kids Dead.
Tens of thousands of Palestinians seriously injured.
1.5 million Palestinians [approx.] displaced.
Are these numbers sufficient in terms of revenge for the Israelis fourteen hundred killed [exact number TBC] by Hamas?
Clearly, they are not.

@timangerphoto Thank you, Mr Anger.
