In January 2021, a French airstrike killed 22 near the village of Bounti in Mali. The incident was widely reported by international media, but few noted that a US-made bomb was used in the attack. We investigated the aftermath with @AfriqueXXI.

@RichardBarrow I can’t agree more but it may signify a start towards the opening. Probably they can skip the test & go just now because the hotels that offer service will be furious

@ThaiNewsReports In my neighbourhood. I’m so glad I won’t be in Bkk in July

Yangon has settled into a surreal "new normal." But fear and violence continue to grip much of Myanmar, with a savage military campaign against dissent generating fallout that extends to the country's borders -- and well beyond.

The ways Thailand has taken advantage of its neighboring countries never end

@ThaiNewsReports Isn’t there an oil spill heading that way? My friends cancelled because of that

[nico cina @nicocina]

@Russell_CNX @Ajarncom @BamabearinBkk Me too, there’s no point as it’ll change again at least 5 more times

Novak Djokovic's neighbour in Australian immigration detention, 24-year-old Mehdi, has been there for nine years, 'forcibly restricted to a spartan room in a hotel commandeered by the government to detain refugees'. "The birthdays are the saddest days."

@fishsauceisgood 😮 I hadn’t seen anything like that in quite a while

[nico cina @nicocina]

@SenorMiguel_ @DavidLuekens I’m in Italy now and fortunately ppl wear masks outside and inside where required. If someone pulls it down, ppl tell them off, which is more useful than just staring then complaining online like Thais normally do…

@Vuedemonde1 @fishsauceisgood @RichardBarrow @ThaiNewsReports They get a PCR before leaving so the percentage of positive will be ridiculously low. Moreover, people with omicron are positive for 3-5 days only. Let’s not be overly dramatic.

[nico cina @nicocina]

@fishsauceisgood Oh I see. Same thing here. We’re worried not to be able to get back so we’re being extremely careful but you’ll never know… hopefully her school will support her in case she can’t get back in time.
