V. Reybrouck's Revolusi. Fantastic reviews. A writer whose expertise is on other global parts. Views from those whose research lives are focused on the archipelago? @EdwardAspinall @yuhkitajima @sdjaffrey @Chris___Wilson @sidneyIPAC @_DaveMcRae_ @claireqsmith @andreawoodhouse

Why? Asia?

Chiang Mai on Sunday morning is no longer the most air-polluted major city in the world but second most-polluted as Delhi overtook the northern Thai city, according to IQAir app as of 9.30am Sunday. #Thailand #Chiangmai #Delhi #PM25 #ฝุ่นเชียงใหม่ #ฝุ่นพิษ #ฝุ่นควันเชียงใหม่

Brilliant analysis from the great @EdwardGLuce:
"There is no contradiction between reviling terrorism and tackling its roots. Both the following statements are true: Hamas has plumbed new depths of bestial cruelty; Benjamin Netanyahu’s Israel has starved non-violent Palestinian alternatives...

"Last Saturday’s killing was horrific, yet should come as no surprise. Gaza, as others have remarked, is the world’s largest open-air prison. Netanyahu has deprived Palestinians of hope for the future and peaceful outlets to express their frustrations. John F Kennedy, Biden’s original hero, said: “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable.” Israelis and Palestinians are on the brink of writing an even darker chapter in their history. Biden has the means to hijack that script. It is the most pro-Israeli thing he could do.

Over the past decade, more people have been killed from political violence in middle-income countries than in low-income ones. New World Bank report highlights the prevalence of conflict in MICS. https://t.co/SToGE2gsRe via @worldbank

The world's attention is on Ukraine, but the death toll has kept rising in Myanmar and it shows no sign of stopping. The 1,769 people recorded killed by the junta are only the victims that @aapp_burma has been able to confirm. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK Working out these questions makes it clear whether Rwanda success translates to Italy success. Or whether different pop groups need different approaches for targetting and type of aid. I don’t know the answers which is why we need more solid studies, supported by people like u

[Patrick Barron @pj_barron]

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK Very much enjoyed the chat, esp on the work you are supporting in Rwanda. I also believe cash is normally best. The agenda moving forward is for comparative studies on where it works and where it does not, and the factors within pops that make for more or less effective use
