This is the best of #f24; telling stories with humanity that rarely get told elsewhere
At a time when there are qs about our role in 🇫🇷 media landscape, I encourage you to watch this
It's a powerful example of what publically funded journalism can, and should, do

🇭🇹 #Haiti's armed gangs, which control 80% of the capital #PortauPrince, have been at war with an under-resourced police since February.
🔴 #FRANCE24’s @cnorristrent and @romlanglois went on patrol with an anti-gang police unit, to bring us this exclusive #FOCUS report 👇
💥#Breaking: @IsraelPolice yesterday raided a legendary & wonderful Jerusalem institution, the Educational Bookshop, whose owners, Mahmoud & Ahmed Muna– friends of mine for years– spent the night in jail for the crime of selling books, aka "suspicion of violating public order." The cops didn't dare accuse them of incitement, which requires approval from the public prosecutor. Every book with a Palestinian flag on it was confiscated. Reported by @NirHasson
The Assad regime will go down in history as one of the ugliest, bloodiest and most brutal regimes ever known.
The post-Assad era is unknown. Everything is possible. But this is a truly historic moment of freedom that is worth celebrating, big time, regardless of what comes next
Simply astonishing advances by Syrian rebels into Aleppo. In just a few hours they’ve overrun parts of the city they couldn’t take in 4 years of fighting a decade ago. It goes to show how much the Assad regime was depending on Hezbollah and Iran for its survival.
This is your chance to come behind the scenes of #NotreDame's reconstruction ⚒️⛪
Our reporter @MelinaHuet, who has had rare access to the construction work in the last 4 years, told @abdelmassive more about her upcoming #revisited report on #F24AroundTheWorld ⤵️
On the surface it's gangs, but behind their appearance inevitably lies a tangled interplay of geopolitics and corruption on the part of several regional state actors:
How gangsters took over Gaza’s aid routes

It is rare to get reporting like this out of #Nabatieh these days, such is the intensity of the Israeli bombardments of south Lebanon.
France24 reporters @cnorristrent@JennaLBs@al_hameedawi travelled there this week.
They found a city in ruins. Watch 👇 #f24
@FRANCE24@cnorristrent@emeraldmaxwell 🇱🇧 🇮🇱 Devastated by a series of #Israeli airstrikes, the city centre of #Nabatieh in southern #Lebanon lies in ruins.
Its civil defence team is trying their best to help those who remain in the city.
@cnorristrent spoke to Hussein, one of its members, in the aftermath ⤵️
How did French-Italian shotgun cartridges end up being used against protesters in Iran, despite sanctions?
An extract of the two-year long investigation by @ErshadAlijani and @JDungelhoeff 👇
🇮🇷 #Iran - A two-year investigation has revealed that hunting cartridges produced by the European ammunition manufacturer Cheddite were used during the "Woman, Life, Freedom" protests in 2022.
@JDungelhoeff and @ErshadAlijani's #REPORTERS movie, with The @Observers ⤵️
My @Channel4News report on Israel’s relentless pounding of northern Gaza. It took a remarkably brave and persistent cameraman to get these pictures out to us. The world cannot say that it didn’t see. Or know. https://t.co/6NY4bDjw8l
🇷🇼 #Rwandan authorities are perpetrating human rights abuses in detention facilities, including torturing inmates, @hrw said, denouncing a lack of accountability.
FRANCE 24's @abdelmassive is joined by Senior Researcher @demontcl who shares some of the testimonies she heard 👇
Issam Abdallah.
Freind, colleague, true human.
A man always much more interested in the pursuit of life than cataloguing the death that invariably surrounded his lens.
A man who did not want to be a martyr.
Killed — it’s still unbelievable — by the Israeli army one year ago.
Emotional reading this piece by @LayalAFP about MEA — only carrier still serving Beirut despite Israeli strikes.
"MEA is the national carrier and it has to serve Lebanese, just like a doctor must treat the wounded during war”.
- Retired captain Eli Rasi

Over the past year, our team reviewed hundreds of clips of airstrikes released on social media by the IDF - systematically geolocating them and matching them to the civilians who were actually killed.
The result is our most powerful investigation to date.

The Atlantic’s @KimGhattas, who is currently in Beirut, tells me about Israel’s intense bombardment of the city and why she thinks militant groups like Hezbollah cannot be defeated without a real political alternative.
