@_AfricanUnion We’ll take that as a “no”?

[Ed Prior @ed_prior]

@_AfricanUnion The map suggests the AU now recognises Somaliland. Is that correct?

[Ed Prior @ed_prior]

@OborneTweets hello Peter, what’s best way to get in touch?

[Ed Prior @ed_prior]

@SeanTrende Thank you for writing this

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

This is just an Israeli press statement. It’s not journalism.

[Ed Prior @ed_prior]

If only there was some form of words to describe this systematic approach, perhaps something codified in some kind of legal framework..

“The IDF believes this systematic destruction of Shi'ite villages will prevent villagers from returning home."

[Evan Hill @evanhill]

"Much of what they do now isn't directly fighting Hezbollah, but systematically destroying buildings in southern Lebanon.

'The only mission is to continue the destruction,' one officer said. 'There is no other mission.' The IDF believes this systematic destruction of Shi'ite villages will prevent villagers from returning home."

Imagine having to spend each and every school day underground in fear of Russian air attacks.

This is the reality at this school for children with the disabled in Shostka, 40 km from the Russian border in north-east Ukraine.

@AnnalenaLauren Hei, am contacting you from Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC).
What's your best email please (or via DM) Many thanks

[Ed Prior @ed_prior]

@bengtnorborg Hi Bengt, keen to speak if possible. Could you follow so I can DM?

We have been told that Gaza’s borders are closed indefinitely. If they stay closed, @wckitchen will run out of food this week. We are cooking 1M hot meals every day. We need food deliveries every single day to feed hungry families who are not part of this war. All the NGOs in Gaza need more food, medicine, medical equipment, fuel, tents, personal care every day. We cannot wait...let the humanitarian trucks go through today! #ChefsForGaza

American journalist discovers Italy almost like whole other country

[Slate @Slate]

It’s an offer irresistible to many young Americans. Unfortunately, I looked into it. https://t.co/TUemDZnYuv

[Jan Egeland @NRC_Egeland]

With profound sorrow, we confirm the loss of our colleague Maira Alejandra Avendaño Rincón, who was travelling on the flight which crashed in north-east Colombia on Wednesday.

The entire global NRC-family is mourning.

@WSJ @GunjanJS Little Carmine has done so well for himself

[Ed Prior @ed_prior]

Make sure to also read some books

[FactPost @factpostnews]

Vance on the economy:

"You don't turn the Titanic around overnight"

[Ed Prior @ed_prior]

He's talking to Davos about how the grass in DC has been cut, and how restaurants are opening in Memphis, in case you feel like you're missing out

[Ed Prior @ed_prior]

Even after two years, both the way Israel conducts its war on Gaza, and the way it is reported, still retains the capacity to shock

[Ed Prior @ed_prior]

@AdHaque110 I’m concerned that this might blemish Blair’s otherwise exemplary record on intervening in the Middle East

[Scottish Refugee Council 🧡 @scotrefcouncil]

Thanks @ScotNational for bucking the trend and sharing positive stories about the people behind the statistics. It's so important for the voices of people seeking safety to be heard

"It is a famine that we could have prevented, if we had been allowed...

Yet food stacks up at borders because of systematic obstruction by Israel...

It is a famine within a few hundred metres of food.."

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

"It is a famine we could have prevented.. food stacks up at borders because of systematic obstruction by Israel. It is a famine within a few hundred metres of food.. a preventable famine sustained by complicity"

Tom Fletcher from the UN on famine being declared in Gaza City
