Week 284. Today we are many protesting in The Hague outside the International Court of Justice as it will deliver its order on the request for the indication of provisional measures, submitted by South Africa.

We are in the midst of a humanitarian meltdown in Israel, Gaza, & the West Bank. Need I elaborate? The massacre that took place in Israel on October 7, the unspeakable loss of lives - innocent people in Gaza - settler violence and displacement.
Follow the money and where it is going! Not in the country and peoples but in private pockets! Let’s not forget #FishRot and all other Rots that we have been seeing in this country !
