“Israel acaba de ejecutar a Mohammad de un disparo directo en la cabeza. Tenía tan solo 5 años.
Murió junto con su hermano Othman, de 6 años, y sus padres en la Cisjordania ocupada.Una familia inocente entera, borrada de la faz de la tierra”.

✋Ha asesinado a tres mujeres pero antes había retenido, encadenado y golpeado a una mujer y secuestrado y maniatado a una niña de 9
Por lo que sea, alguien había decidido que las mujeres y las niñas estábamos a salvo con él en libertad y sin vigilancia

📣 New briefing with @eurodad & CONCORD: EU blended finance & the illusion of development
As Global Europe is redesigned, “mobilise private capital” is becoming the default answer. That’s a political choice, not a technical tweak.

Mounting debt crisis means global South governments are spending on average 15% of their revenue servicing external debt. This figure has doubled since 2010.
More than 3.4 billion people now live in countries that spend more on interest payments than on health or education.
Ahead of the 7th #AUEU2025 Summit in Luanda, civil society from Africa and Europe are calling for a reset of the AU–EU partnership.
Our new joint statement urges leaders to centre equality, just trade, climate justice and debt reform, not profit or extractivism.
ActionAid joins the AU–EU CSO events on Nov. 19 ahead of the 7th AU–EU Summit.
The Summit is a key moment to push for tax justice, debt relief, climate justice, and investment in public services.

Today the European Parliament approved its Omnibus I mandate, weakening #CSDDD.
By siding with far-right forces and corporate lobbies, MEPs signal that EU values and the rights of women and communities in the global South are negotiable when they collide with short-term profit.
🇪🇺 Just days before #COP30, EU climate ministers agreed a 2040 target of –90 % vs 1990 levels — but with loopholes allowing up to 10 % offsets abroad.
That means Europe will only cut ~85 % at home, paying others to decarbonise on its behalf.
10 years after Paris — Europe's biggest diplomatic win — EU risks arriving at #COP30 with words, not leadership
It can still:
→ Support a Just Transition Mechanism
→ Triple adaptation finance by 2030
Not new ambitions, bare minimum for credibility!

Yesterday, the EU Foreign Affairs Council has met and yet again it has failed to act on suspending Israel’s preferential trade agreement, which is a betrayal of the EU’s own principles and commitments to human rights and international law. (1/2)
Europe must stand on the right side of history and ensure its core values and commitments translate into concrete action for accountability, justice and the protection of Palestinian rights and self-determination. (1/2)

🚨 ExxonMobil is lobbying hard to weaken the EU #CSDDD.
For the Global South, this is not abstract: fossil giants have long polluted, extracted & violated rights in Africa, Asia & Latin America.
EU must deliver strong due diligence for #ClimateJustice.

Los países europeos siguen sin suspender relaciones y sin adoptar sanciones a Israel, pero mucha gente SÍ está a la altura ante el genocidio israelí
Las protestas obligan a adelantar el final de hoy en la Vuelta, en la que participa un equipo de Israel
