Today marks 3 years since the military seized power with an illegal coup in Myanmar.

What has happened to the size of the prison network in that time? 👇

#Burma is at a tipping point and pro-democracy forces need the international community's urgent coordinated support to pave the way for a democratic future and durable peace.

After months of power struggle, #Iraq's federal court sacked parliament speaker Mohammed Al-Halbousi, the longest serving speaker and most powerful Sunni politician since '03.

My paper for @LSEMiddleEast sheds light on Halbousi's rise and fall.

Last night airstrikes by the military junta killed nearly 30 and many injured, mostly women and children from a IDP camp in Laiza, Kachin State.

I will do everything in my power to hold junta accountable for continued atrocities against the civilians.

Today is the 112th National Day of the Republic of China. After three long years, we finally took off our masks to see one another again and gathered together to celebrate our country's National Day.

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

On this day in 1939, Russia, in partnership with Nazi Germany, invaded Poland hoping they could participate in all the looting with which Hitler was having so much success.

Stalin used the same excuse as Putin did when invading Ukraine in 2014.

Kazakhstan is releasing files of Kazakhstan residents who were victims of political repression during the Stalin era. A total of 2.4 million individual files will be made public. Big and timely, especially as Russia is beating the drum of “good ole Stalin days”

This PLA officer describes those in Taiwan not accepting Beijing‘s right to rule them as „tumors“ that need to be taken out, the PLAs‘s job.

„The body will feel pain. But what causes this pain? The scalpels or the tumor“?

De-humanization at work.
