I had the opportunity to present at the GeoField conference in Rome, IT @FAO HQ. Remote sensing is enabling causal inference in areas where household surveys are not possible.

📢 At #GeoField2026, @FAOSocioEcon's @KamranKNiazi highlighted remote sensing enables impact evaluation in data-scarce settings, incl protracted crises

A Somalia 🇸🇴 case study showed household surveys capture what satellites cannot, including social cohesion & lived experiences

With the greatest humility, I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
I warmly welcome the sagacious gesture and extend deepest gratitude to the leadership of both the countries and invite their delegations to Islamabad on Friday, 10th April 2026, to further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes.
Both parties have displayed remarkable wisdom and understanding and have remained constructively engaged in furthering the cause of peace and stability. We earnestly hope, that the ‘Islamabad Talks’ succeed in achieving sustainable peace and wish to share more good news in coming days!

You thought Epstein Island was bad?

Israel built the only military prison in the world designated for children.

Children are subjected to beatings, torture, and rape on a regular basis.

Conviction rates in courts reach 99.7%.

This applies only to non-jewish children.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network.

In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome.

AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement.

We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only.

We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements.

We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

“Call it vanity. I think I’m irreplaceable,” he mused. “I think it’s just the opposite. I think it will empower us to do more, but we have to retool. Good scientists have to retool all the time.”

My father has been under arrest for 845 days. For the past six weeks, he has been kept in solitary confinement in a death cell with zero transparency. His sisters have been denied every visit, even with clear court orders allowing access. There have been no phone calls, no meetings and no proof of life. Me and my brother have had no contact with our father.

This absolute blackout is not a security protocol. It is a deliberate attempt to hide his condition and prevent our family from knowing whether he is safe.

Let it be clear: the Pakistani government and its handlers will be held fully accountable legally, morally and internationally for my father’s safety and for every consequence of this inhumane isolation.

I call on the international community, global human rights organisations and every democratic voice to intervene urgently. Demand proof of life, enforce court ordered access, end this inhumane isolation and call for the release of Pakistan’s most popular political leader who is being held solely for political reasons.

[Kamran Khan Niazi @leniazi]

Yes, death. Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forget life, to be at peace.

Live on air… Israel bombs civil defense teams as they try to retrieve the body of journalist Hossam Al-Masri, killed in an Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital.
Ongoing crimes before the eyes of the entire world.

I wonder by what logical hallucination a land hungry settler colonial/Apartheid state (vs resistant population) would be on the "right side" of history.
But some genuinely believe it.

Netanyahu says siding with Palestine = wrong side of humanity? The delusion of these people is through the roof.

I am not sure if people are pretending to not see all these cruelties in Palestine or actually think these are justified.

Collective action cannot be selective. We should not hope to achieve collective action on environment whilst turning our head from humanitarian issues. If we cannot deter "countries" from killing CHILDREN, let's not get together to talk about reducing emissions. #COP29Baku
