Every time I fly, I get wild news. Last time, it was about @viceworldnews getting axed. I’m happy to say that on this occasion, the news is much better - our doc was nominated for an Emmy! I can’t thank my mentors & team enough. @KarishmaTV@jlittlemountain@thomson_craig JudyCai

West trains Africa forces as coastal nations worry about growing jihadist attacks. “As these insurgencies continue to spread, the more difficult it becomes to contain them and the less likely it is that the conflict will end in the foreseeable future" https://t.co/icZHsGCfay
Human rights award winner in #Burkinafaso vows to keep fighting amid constant threats. “We denounce the army, the jihadis and the local defense fighters…So all armed actors pose a danger for me.” https://t.co/0fAF18VBmm
Daouda Diallo is one of Burkina Faso's top human rights defenders who has documented more than 1,000 extrajudicial killings by security forces and jihadis in the past six years. That's earned him many enemies and an international award. https://t.co/ZzaS7Lpdu2
