My views on why #France must urgently take responsibility for its own nationals and repatriate all its children from the #SyrianKurdistan-#Rojava who are at risk of #statelessness, as well as their mothers. @FamillesDes @gouvernementFR @NBelloubet

In a world in which consumers are voters, this does matter.

Et on dit merci à @CamilleStineau pour cette analyse plus que nécessaire.

Je vais essayer d'expliquer point par point ce qui ne va pas dans le traitement médiatique des événements d'Amsterdam, et pourquoi c'est un cas d'école des problèmes dans le journalisme.

Hier matin, je me suis levé, j'ai ouvert Twitter et j'ai vu des vidéos de bagarre.

Persecution of individuals & organisations opposing Apartheid constitutes an act of Apartheid (Apartheid Convention, art. II(F)).
Are we allowing Apartheid to spread beyond borders? Ending Apartheid is a fundamental state obligation & a moral imperative upon all of us.

"But is it possible that after 42,000 people killed you cannot empathise with the Palestinians?"

Francesca Albanese, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, expressed her frustration at the UN General Assembly's inaction on the Israeli aggression in Gaza during a meeting on October 30

Doctors Without Borders denounces Israeli ban on @UNRWA 's operations.

It will further undermine people's survival prospects in #Gaza and heavily impact communities in the West Bank.

[Fionnuala Ní Aoláin @NiAolainF]

Devastated to hear this news of the death of FJ, a woman & her children I met in NE Syria in July 2023. On return to Geneva I met w: @CanadaUN & issued a communication on the vulnerability & acute heath concerns I personally observed for FJ. Her death was needless & unnecessary.

20,000 missing children in Gaza- some maimed beyond recognition.
On top of the 17,000 killed in 12 months.

We call it genocide because it is genocide.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

In Gaza, the collective shame of the century continues unabated and unstopped, in defiance of every norm of international law and morale. The Palestinians, exhausted by relentless attacks on their bodies and souls are abandoned to their tormentors. Shocking images of summary executions, mass forced displacements, and other egregious abuses strike us, leaving us stunned and bewildered, unable to comprehend that what is happening in Gaza is truly real. What a disgraceful testament to our global failure to protect basic human rights . The United Nations, once a believed beacon of hope and a force for peace, are crumbling under the weight of this shame - and the pressure of the inaction or complicity of its most powerful member states.

Dicen que las normas obligan a quitarnos el pañuelo palestino. Las normas también prohíben los genocidios y aquí está Europa apoyando uno 👇🏼

❌97% of #Sudan’ s population facing “severe levels of hunger. Never in modern history have so many people faced #starvation and #famine”, yet #humanitarian response remains massively underfunded.

On 14 October, an Israeli airstrike targeted an area housing displaced people inside the MSF-supported Al Aqsa hospital compound in Deir Al Balah, resulting in 65 wounded and 5 dead. It is the seventh time that Al Aqsa hospital compound was bombed since March 2024; three of them in the last month.

At least 22 Palestinians, including children, were killed on Friday by Israeli strikes on Jabalia refugee camp. Aid groups have warned that thousands of Palestinians are trapped in Jabalia camp in northern Gaza, as Israel intensifies its siege of the area.
