An important thread by @DinoMahtani breaking down the hypocrisy inherent to the position of the UK (and the US) when it comes to ending the war in Sudan.

[Nima Elbagir @nimaelbagir]

It was an honour to serve on the @UNESCO jury awarding Palestinian journalists covering Gaza with the #PressFreedomPrize The almost unfathomable sacrifices made by journalists in Gaza, have served to ensure the world cannot say it did not know.

Palestinian journalists covering Gaza awarded the 2024 @UNESCO / Guillermo Cano World #PressFreedom Prize.

.@khalidsayed1 is one of the best journalists I know. It’s a huge tribute to him and his colleagues at @Reuters that their Sudan coverage has been recognised by @opcofamerica Forcing the world to reckon with the reality in Sudan الف الف مبروك

Thank you so much to @amanpour for highlighting #Sudan on her show.

‘Enlist or die’.

Fear and famine in Sudan.

Watch @nimaelbagir’s report here:

[Nima Elbagir @nimaelbagir]

The RSF did not respond to our request for comment. We also shared our findings with the UN’s Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, who said the evidence of forced enlistment we uncovered in #Sudan is tantamount to “contemporary slavery”.

New with @nimaelbagir @ArvanitidisCNN and Mark Baron. As the world looks away from horrors in Sudan, we find out how RSF are using hunger and fear to forcibly recruit men and boys in breadbasket Al Jazirah amid a comms blackout and a looming famine. https://t.co/Su6pqx38Bv

[Nima Elbagir @nimaelbagir]

Also, of course the civilian “emergency committees” and the rest of the civil society infrastructure people in Sudan are managing to maintain in the face of hunger, threats and the world’s indifference.

[Nima Elbagir @nimaelbagir]

As the world ignores Sudan’s further descent into horror, our investigation exposes the RSF’s weaponising of hunger and fear; hundreds of men and dozens of children, forced to fight for the same force raping, looting and burning through the country.

[Nima Elbagir @nimaelbagir]

The RSF obstructs communication networks, threatens and targets journalists, activists and the civilian “revolutionary committees” keeping their neighbourhoods safe. So we cannot name our extraordinarily brave Sudan team but they were integral to this piece.

[Nima Elbagir @nimaelbagir]

Our new investigation exposes how Israel is choking aid into Gaza. Why aid drops - US or otherwise - were never going to be enough.

[Tamara Qiblawi تمارا قبلاوي - tqiblawi.bsky.social @tamaraqiblawi]

New investigation: we explored Israel's ghost list of items that are being arbitrarily denied access to Gaza since October 7.

These include: Anesthesia machines, oxygen cylinders, crutches, solar panels, ventilators and water purification tablets.

Anaesthetics, crutches, baby wipes, dates & more. Arbitrarily obstructed by Israel with devastating consequences; inc a doctor amputating his niece’s leg w/out anaesthesia. We uncovered how Israel drove Gaza into despair & why US airdrops cannot be the solution.

[Nima Elbagir @nimaelbagir]

The Israeli government agency COGAT responded to us only after publication. Stating, “dual use” items into Gaza are not “sweepingly denied entry”. “Rather,” they claim, ”these are subject to security evaluation due to the concern that the Hamas-ISIS terrorist organization will use them for its terrorist purposes, including further harm to non-combatants.”

Anesthetics, crutches, baby wipes, dates and so much more. Our new investigation uncovers how a 'ghost list' of items Israel has arbitrarily banned is creating a chokehold. Preventing critical aid from entering and driving Gaza further into desperation. https://t.co/Y5I8Uk6wsl

NEW investigation for @cnn. Anesthetics, crutches, dates. Inside Israel’s ghost list of items arbitrarily denied entry into Gaza with @tamaraqiblawi @nimaelbagir @cfaraj and @kareemJerusalem

I’m honoured to be a mentor w/@MarieColvinNet the work they are doing to support journalists across the Arab world -including in Gaza -is crucial. Please help them continue that work.

The absurdity of this in the dossier on @leloveluck published in @semafor , “protested .. tuition fee rises”. From a D.C. firm described as having “close ties” to the White House, just illuminates the attempts to constrain coverage of the Israel-Gaza war. https://t.co/kCjrIZHDlc

.@ICIJorg Cyprus Confidential and CNN w/ @HashomrimOrg @uri_blau @DavidKenner exposed key Hamas-linked financier - Abdelbasit Hamza’s - European businesses in Dec. On Friday the EU finally issued sanctions, years after Sudan itself indicted Hamza in 2019. https://t.co/KA1kTKufVI
