I profiled one team of paramedics led by Khaldun Abbas, pictured center and a total bad-ass, about a week ago for the New Humanitarian. He and his team were out in the protests again today, saving as many people as possible. https://t.co/gKbvboz62h

“People either have their land or the grave,” said Commander Abwa Ali of the Polisario Front.

My and @apradabianchi article in @ForeignPolicy on how the Polisario’s often undercovered conflict with Morocco raises tensions across the Maghreb. https://t.co/mV990oOSC8

A story I have been working on for a while is FINALLY out.

It’s about how Germany’s colonial legacy still lives within people in Namibia today - and a few other things.

[Aya Ibrahim @ayakibrahim]

It’s about how remembrance culture - or lack thereof - shapes how citizens of the same country see each other.

And it’s about how completely different realities can exist side by side but somehow never meet. There is something really tragic but also fascinating about that.

#Iraq: #CFWIJ condemns overnight imprisonment of #SomaKhalid. We believe this is an intimidation following her reporting illuminating inadequacies of management at Sulaimani’s Shar Hospital. #CFWIJ holds authorities accountable for use of censorious methods against #freepress.

[Peter Maass @maassp]

After a U.S.-planned airstrike killed at least 80 Iraqi civilians in 2015, the Dutch government offered 4.4 million Euros in reconstruction aid (their F-16 dropped the bomb) . Nothing went to the airstrike victims, as @pmagid reports. https://t.co/LHX0WKVg30

[Pulitzer Center @pulitzercenter]

In 2015, a bombing by the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq killed at least 85 civilians in the northern town of Hawija. Money promised to the town by the Dutch government has yet to reach survivors and their families, reports Fellow @PMagid for @theintercept. https://t.co/DCkFaUcFpN
