Kila kitu na wakati yake… 📚 My book, Conflict Minerals Inc. is out now with Hurst and Oxford University Press. Reviewers say it’s “lucid, compassionate and personal”, and a “devastating and essential reading.” Here is to a few pictures and key points... 🧵

Excellent, timely read.

“Doctors, not bombs” still remains pretty much unbeaten as a paradigm for benign foreign policy. The world should reflect on that a bit more in these fascist and imperialist times.

Did you know Fidel Castro is considered a hero across much of Africa?

Founding editor of @africasacountry Sean Jacobs explains how the former Cuban leader supported anti-colonial struggles and helped defeat South Africa's apartheid army.

Nine years today, no justice. I salute the life and work of my friends Michael & Zaida, assassinated while serving with me in the UN Group of Experts on the Democratic Republic of the Congo. May their example inspire future generations to serve with respect, rigour and humanism.

This is how you destroy future.

Certainly the most relevant thing I’ve read in this young year, unsurprisingly in the ever great @DissentMag.

Decades of solid research by both scholars and practitioners alike agree that airdrops are not a useful humanitarian approach. They are inefficient and dangerous. Now let’s take a guess at what a whole lot of Western governments aim to do against ongoing starvation in Gaza…

Depuis que l’AFP a été fondée en août 1944, nous avons perdu des journalistes dans des conflits, nous avons eu des blessés et des prisonniers dans nos rangs, mais aucun de nous n’a le souvenir d’avoir vu un collaborateur mourir de faim.
Nous refusons de les voir mourir.

Out in @WorldDevJournal and based on long-term ethnography and original material, my piece on “nonconventional logistics”—which is how #Rwanda’s #FDLR rebels call their elusive, violent enterprise to sustain insurgency in eastern #Congo. Free download at https://t.co/K1qKPaALoa

Aberrant de voir des députés inconscients d’extrême droite parler d’un “massacre” qui n’a eu lieu uniquement sur Fox News avec des fausses photos y attribuées, puis encore de confondre M23 et ADF. Tout à fait sage que Bruxelles s’abstienne de commenter de telles bêtises.

🎥 Le 13 février 2025, 70 chrétiens ont été sauvagement décapités en RDC par un groupe islamiste lié à l’État islamique.

Le Rwanda massacre, pille et déstabilise la RDC sous l’ordre de Kagamé.

Et Bruxelles se tait.

Jusqu’où ira le silence complice de l’Union européenne ? ⤵️

As we witness the poison of hate, racism and othering gain ground across the globe these days, 7 April is a harrowing reminder of how the world failed in the face of evil 31 years ago. Never again shouldn’t be a mere slogan. #Kwibuka

Je ne suis pas très étonné que Marine, Jordan et les autres héritiers SS mentent aux français•es, ils le font chaque jour, mais il aurait été souhaitable qu’un premier ministre ne mente pas.
