Jeg har nogle super dygtige kollegaer fra blandt andet @koebenhavns_uni (@PolsciCph og ToRS), der følger situationen i Ukraine og Rusland tæt og holder os andre opdaterede indenfor deres specialer. Her en lille anbefaling af dygtige unge forskere, du kan følge:

[Olga Tokariuk @olgatokariuk]

If you want to know how Ukrainians react to Putin's speech, here's a glimpse: moms on Facebook discuss putting stickers on their children's clothes, when they go to school, indicating their blood type. Make no mistake: this speech was perceived as a declaration of war on Ukraine

Libyans who speak English, please watch this, particularly since you have an election happening (sometime). Arabic subtitles would be awesome. Thank you @AOC!

[Peter Salisbury @peterjsalisbury]

I've been thinking a lot about the humanitarian situation in #Yemen recently. There is a fair chance that famine will be declared there soon. People will respond with shock and surprise. But people need to know that this was absolutely predictable and preventable.

[Khaled Elmufti - خالد المفتي @KElmufti]

A great detailed report by @NisaNajem in English, on the status of the Internet in Libya covering both the infrastructure side and a focus on “freedom of use”... good read.

"We didn't participate in the destruction of our homeland, we didn't"

"Our reality has corrupted our future"

"There are people here who need to live."

A poignant piece on how #Libya-n graffiti has evolved since 2011.

As world focused on ISIS in Raqqa& Mosul, another city was destroyed: Benghazi.

After ISIS &AlQaeda took city in 2014, Libyan army fought extremists &defeated them end 2017.

Price of victory high.

Our drone footage shows what's left of center Benghazi

[Hanan Salah @HananMSalah]

More carnage & chaos in #Tripoli today as reckless unaccountable militias continue to wreak havoc: 2 brothers, both IDPs from Tawergha, among unknown number of casualties; 400 escape prison; reports of looting

“#Haftar can’t accept elections because his rivals might win & that’d be a blow for him, #Egypt & the #UAE.”

I strongly disagree.

It is already clear that #Haftar isn’t going to run.

If electoral process is bound to go awry, then #Haftar will accept it.

It’d be the best gift.

[Julia Macfarlane @juliamacfarlane]

That would give Russia control over the investigation and its results. Let’s be crystal clear https://t.co/ASpIBF1UbM

[Emadeddin Badi @emad_badi]

Why militias rule #Libya today:

2011-14: limited DDR & militia institutionalisation (with government blessing)
2014-18: institutional fragmentation, establishment of protection economies & co-option of armed groups by rival (national & regional) powers

[Mary Fitzgerald @maryfitzger.bsky.social @MaryFitzger]

In March 2011 - after the Nato-led intervention in #Libya began - Gaddafi lashed out at one of its key architects Sarkozy, alleging he funded his election campaign & claiming: "It is only because of me that he became president" https://t.co/gypDHhOiX1

[Mohamed Eljarh @Eljarh]

The @ObservatoryLY is increasingly one of the top (if not the top) electronic news site covering developments in #Libya today. Along with @alwasatnewsly they are key for keeping people informed about #Libya.

Når partierne en gang imellem bliver lidt irriterede over, at deres ungdomsorganisation er lidt for kritisk - så send en kærlig tanke til Liberal Alliances Ungdom på Bornholm.
