They could barely bring themselves to say her name and when they did used the dog whistle “Hezbollah aligned” in order to dehumanise Amal and justify her killing by I$rael.
Amal Khalil was a friend to me and many others having worked in the field since the 2006 war. What she did was unique, reporting from the south and raising the voices of the people there who are subjected to brutal treatment and attacks from I$rael.
Amal had herself received numerous death threats, some warning her to leave and if she didn’t her head would be removed from her shoulders. It’s a testament to her that she defied those threats and up until the end continued to expose I$raeli war comes.
She was a brave and courageous journalist, a daughter of the south and her mic and her pen was a tribune of the people. This is what made her so dangerous, with I$rael fearing a camera and a pen more than a Hezb0llah fighter.
Her body wasn’t “found under the rubble” as though it had been mysteriously placed there. I$rael targeted a car in front of her, when she sheltered in a building it was struck collapsing it, then the emergency operations were delayed for at least 7 hours as ambulances and civil defence workers were fired on.
This was a deliberate assassination and a war crime. But try as they might they will never stop journalists here from reporting the truth.
See the flair Mali plays with, my God.
I know majority of us predicted Morocco to win this AFCON, but it might just be won by a team we don’t expect.
Just look at Mali balling like crazy against the host country.
The first plane carrying aid from El Salvador arrived in Jamaica last night, following the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa.
In total, 3 planes will deliver relief (1 per day) bringing 300 rescuers and 50 tons of humanitarian aid.
May God be with our brothers in Jamaica.
The sacrifice Haiti made so themselves and other islands, including Jamaica, could be freed from slavery.
Should be ashamed to even have our flag in your name.
Windrush in Reverse
My parents arrived in Britain in the 1950s & left in 1975. But for as long as I can recall before we left, my mum was planning her departure. We used to shop in a store called Arding and Hobbs in Battersea which had a permanent sale in the basement. We were always down there buying curtains, sheets, pots and all sorts for the new house in Grenada. It was as if my parents couldn't settle in the UK - my dad said it made no sense being a second class citizen in Britain and my mother spoke of the racism in the NHS, and the weather.
Until seeing this interesting clip, I thought my family (an aunt and uncle also left with their families) were unusual. I wonder how many left? I wonder too about those who wanted to leave but couldn't.
I would love to hear stories either here or via DM.
I’m literally from Hong Kong which is significantly hotter and more humid than the UK and I’d rather be in 40c heat in HK than 30c heat in London. it’s not “magically worse” it’s just a lot more unpleasant to deal with heatwaves in a country which is not built or prepared for it
Israelis are NOT Israelites. Netanyahu maternal family is Lithuanian and paternal is Russian. He cannot POSSIBLY be an Israelite. It is genealogically impossible, I’m closer to being an Israelite than he is. The manipulation is too much
This fake Nigeria & Jamaica hate nonsense only exists online 😅 the vibes yesterday at the unity cup was proper vibes!! Everyone sitting together, laughing & joking with each other. Really beautiful vibes.
