Working for WaPo’s Middle East team was an honour. But I made the heartwrenching decision to leave the paper last month.

I’m still in Lebanon and open for new opportunities. If your newsroom is looking for narrative-driven accountability reporting (or other things!) do reach out

It has been six months since the Rapid Support Forces captured Al Fashir and detained Sudanese journalist Muammar Ibrahim.

He is held incommunicado and RSF-led TASIS gov spox tells me today that he will soon face “legal proceedings.”

What is his crime?

I am and will always be incredibly grateful to those who worked for my release when I was held hostage by an armed faction in Iraq earlier this month.

So many people – including but not limited to government officials, press freedom organisations, and my wonderful community of fellow journalists and friends - put an immense amount of effort into ensuring that the level of attention to my case remained high.

Thank you all so very, very much.

Over a million Lebanese have been displaced as the Israeli military ramps up its airstrikes and ground offensive in the country.

Often, it's children who get caught in the crossfire.

Yesterday, we went down to Brixton tube station for the last ever day of Brixton News, one of the capital's last specialist news stands. TfL are raising the rent on the unit Pritesh Patel and his brother run from £40,000 a year to £125,000 a year, something they cannot afford.
