As we mark 50 years since the October 1973 War, I offer my account of the critical role of the Egyptian student movement in insisting on liberation war, paving the way for the 6 October crossing. They opposed Sadat's turn to the US, championing the Palestinian Revolution instead

It’s #StolenPayDay at @SOAS. Staff for whom marking is as low as *0.3%* of their contract (!) have had 100% of their pay stolen by management. This is vindictive, shameful, & punitive behaviour from management.

Stop bullying staff; #SettleTheDispute

As Tunisia's economic crisis worsens, many from cities like Tataouine are leaving to find work in Europe by crossing the Balkan route, an alternative to the deadly Mediterranean
