What a disgrace! Racism is not a joke, a personality trait, or an excuse rooted in ‘where I come from.’ It’s a violation of basic human dignity, full stop. Public figures, especially elected officials, have a heightened responsibility to reject hatred, not rationalize it. Kylian Mbappé deserves an apology, and so does everyone who has been targeted by this kind of language. Human dignity for all is not a slogan. It’s a commitment. #France #Paraguay

[UN Human Rights @UNHumanRights]

The power of sport must be used to promote equality, dignity & respect, not hatred or dehumanization. Language that dehumanizes people because of their race or ethnic origin has no place in sport or public discourse. @KMbappe #NoToHate

[UN Human Rights @UNHumanRights]

The racist, dehumanising remarks against @KMbappe by Paraguayan Sen. Celeste Amarilla are despicable, regrettably not isolated.

States & sports organisations must prevent acts of racism & discrimination, and ensure independent and effective accountability. Social media must also prevent and address racial discrimination on their platforms.

No government elected for a five-year term should have the authority to make permanent decisions over a nation's most limited resource, its land.

Land belongs to the people, not to the government of the day.

No administration should have the power to permanently give away or sell a nation's scarce land to individuals or companies for eternity.

Whatever has happened in the past cannot be undone, but we can ensure it does not continue.

Going forward, all land allocations should be for fixed terms rather than in perpetuity. Governments are temporary. The nation's land is not.

Molto clamore.
Molti articoli.
Titoli ovunque.
Giustamente.
Perché cinque italiani morti in mare sono una tragedia enorme.
Ma nel rumore assordante di queste ore, quasi nessuno sta parlando dell’uomo in questa foto.
Morto per riportare in superficie i corpi.

[Ninabecks con Israele e Ucraina nel cuore @ninabecks1]

Grazie! ❤️

In queste ore tanti stanno giustamente parlando del coraggio degli speleo-sub finlandesi.

E sì, Sami Paakkarinen, Jenni Westerlund e Patrik Grönqvist meritano rispetto assoluto.

Hanno affrontato il buio degli abissi.

Hanno rischiato la vita per riportare a casa cinque italiani.

E alla fine hanno persino rifiutato qualsiasi pagamento.

Un gesto enorme.

Raro.

Che parla di umanità vera.

Ma oggi, mentre il mondo applaude quella missione impossibile, c’è un nome che non possiamo permettere venga dimenticato.

Sergente Maggiore Mohamed Mahudhee.

Perché lui da quell’oceano non è più tornato.

Mentre tutti cercavano una speranza, lui è sceso laggiù.

Nel silenzio delle grotte sommerse.

Nel punto in cui il mare può diventare una condanna in pochi secondi.

E lo ha fatto per salvare degli italiani che nemmeno conosceva.

Non per soldi.

Non per notorietà.

Non per obbligo.

Lo ha fatto perché esistono uomini che mettono la vita degli altri davanti alla propria.

E questo ha un peso immenso.

Oggi tutti noi possiamo parlare dei corpi recuperati.

Delle famiglie che hanno avuto almeno la possibilità di un ultimo saluto.

Di figli, fratelli e amici riportati a casa.

Ma quel ritorno ha avuto un prezzo terribile.

La vita di un uomo.

Da qualche parte oggi c’è una famiglia che piange Mohamed Mahudhee.

Una sedia vuota.

Una voce che non tornerà più.

Un dolore che nessuna medaglia potrà cancellare.

Ed è forse questo che rende il suo sacrificio ancora più grande.

Perché gli eroi veri spesso non cercano applausi.

Fanno semplicemente ciò che ritengono giusto.

Anche quando il prezzo da pagare è la propria vita.

Onore ai sub finlandesi per il loro coraggio.

Ma il pensiero più profondo oggi va a quel sergente che ha dato tutto per aiutare cinque italiani intrappolati sotto il fondo dell’oceano.

Mohamed Mahudhee non dovrebbe essere ricordato soltanto come un militare.

Dovrebbe essere ricordato come un uomo che, nell’istante più difficile, ha scelto l’umanità.

E ci ha lasciato l’esempio più potente di tutti. 🌊🖤

Great news for British shoppers and Maldivian fishermen. The UK is suspending tariffs on tuna, helping bring prices down in the UK while opening better market access for Maldivian tuna. A win for affordability and sustainable tuna, caught one fish at a time. 🎣🐟

Something that deserves media attention.

Yesterday morning, I met members of the team involved in the launch accident that occurred the previous day while transporting around 60 girls to Malee

Thankfully, the incident did not result in any major injuries, with only one person needing evaluation at the hospital. But from what I was told, the situation could easily have turned into a major tragedy.

It was a stormy evening with strong winds and rough waves. The launch was sinking, and under such circumstances, panic alone could have made the situation catastrophic.

What stood out to everyone involved was the girls onboard.

Despite the fear and danger, none of them panicked or acted recklessly in a way that could have jeopardized everyone else. Instead, they remained remarkably calm, listened carefully to instructions, and evacuated the sinking vessel in an orderly manner.

The crew said that if panic had broken out among 60 passengers, the situation could have become impossible to control. Many lives may have been put at risk simply from chaos and fear.

A far worse outcome was avoided because these girls stayed calm, cooperative, and handled an extremely frightening situation with impressive composure and maturity.

They genuinely deserve recognition for that.

in moments like these, our opinions and commentary need to take a backseat.
the least we could do is to hold space for their immense sacrifice, respect the pain of the families, and keep our unsolicited professional opinions to ourselves.

@gita_mathew They were all 5 researchers and experts yet ignored weather alert too. It was a foriegner operated safari. Without locals. Also Maldives has strict recreational diving regulations.
Max recreational diving depth:
18-20 meters for Open Water divers
30 meters maximum for advance.

[Amelia @amelia_tweetz]

What scares me isn’t even the virus anymore. It’s the fact that millions of people would repeat the same stupidity from 2020 all over again.

Mocking precautions. Ignoring experts. Calling everything fake while people get sick around them.

Some people are so addicted to outrage and conspiracy bullshit that they’d rather risk other people’s lives than admit they were wrong.

Qatar’s crisis management, particularly the MOI’s response, is among the most efficient and successful models in the field and should be studied. Preparedness, resourcefulness, responsiveness to public reactions, and an effective communication strategy have all helped keep society safe and daily life running smoothly. I say this as someone who researches crisis management.

This went off yesterday during Taraweeh Namaz in Dubai. Imagine the alert sound on 100+ phones in mosque and not even a single person flinched, everyone stayed in prayer. Faith teaches you something powerful that when your heart is with Allah, fear of death loses its hold.
