@drljshepherd @HumanSecurityRP I thk it means that peace building efforts are having a pos. impact. Obv 2 many ppl still being affected.

[Declan Cairns @CairnsDeclan]

@HumanSecurityRP Grt that conflicts are getting smaller, less people being affected. Hpfully more inormd policy will help reduce even more.

[Declan Cairns @CairnsDeclan]

@drljshepherd I don't think that emotion = femininity, so don't paint me with that brush. If I wanted to say feminist, I would have.

@lawyer_chella I haven't given U any instructions?..haha, and ur free to do whatever you want. #ignoranceisbliss

[Declan Cairns @CairnsDeclan]

Didn't know u wrote a response. Some of the ones I've read have been pretty emotionally driven and use a lot of cherry picking though.

[Declan Cairns @CairnsDeclan]

@drljshepherd @PabloK it also says "the Report rightly identifies an incentive struct that encourages media 2 distort SV in conflict."

[Declan Cairns @CairnsDeclan]

@PabloK Maybe they don't respond to critiques that misrepresent what the report says & aren't constructed with objectivity?
