Wonderful news - Professor Sean Turnell is free and on his way home to his family. I’ve just had the chance to speak with him.

I thank everyone who worked tirelessly for his release, including @DFAT staff like our Head of Mission in Myanmar, Angela Corcoran, pictured here.

För att möta utmaningarna i en tid när konflikter blir alltmer komplexa och orsakssambanden svårare att tyda krävs att både perspektiv, verktyg, och angreppssätt anpassas.

⁦@FBAFolke⁩ 20 år. ⁦@RobertEgnell⁩ betonar vikten av att titta på fred o säkerhet ur ett mänskligt perspektiv, istället för att bara fokusera på stater och krigförande aktörer. #FBA har en viktig roll att spela i en komplex värld.

Commenting on the Nobel peace laureate selection on the Uni web (Swedish). The choice reflects the strong international belief in civil soc actors as peacebuilders, but the context also draws attention to the dangers of this work in authoritarian settings.

Again, @ACLEDINFO does an impressive job visualising state violence against civilians in #Myanmar.

"...more incidents of violence against civilians by state forces operating domestically were reported in Myanmar than in any other country in the world."
