X has become wretched. The platform is undermining everything I believe in & my alogrithm feeds me content that does personalised harm. I loved old twitter but its well and truly over.

In recent months, our team has observed sharp increases in violent content, far-right conspiracy theories, false information being shared by ‘verified accounts’, and censorship of our own posts.

We have therefore decided to leave X. Our statement 👇

⚖️ICC: 'reasonable grounds' they 'bear criminal responsibility [for]the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare; the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, & other inhumane acts...&the war crime of intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population'

‘The UAE was dismayed when the US rapper Macklemore pulled out of a concert in Dubai over its role in Sudan. Its keenness to burnish its international standing means that a cultural boycott and protests by sports stars and fans could have real impact.’ https://t.co/sTDqLoIxpp

Grateful to @ayeshahazarika for inviting me on to @TimesRadio to shine a light on the devastating conflict, atrocities & famine in Sudan - grateful too for the chance to dig in to why the crisis isn’t getting the attention it deserves

#KeepEyesOnSudan

[Protection Approaches @IBVprev]

Why isn't more being done to address the world's biggest protection crisis?

This weekend @WordsAreDeeds joined @ayeshahazarika on @TimesRadio to discuss how colonial mindsets & the retreat of the rules-based system sees civilians paying the highest price.

So proud of our team delivering Active Bystander training to Londoners thanks to @TfL & @MayorofLondon

Last year, before our training only 28% of participants knew what to do if they witnessed a hate incident - that rose to 87% after they had completed our training 🫶

#NoToHate

[Protection Approaches @IBVprev]

Proud to be equipping Londoners with the tools to tackle hate and become Active Bystanders in partnership with @TfL and @MayorofLondon 🙌

Sources -- a cholera outbreak has begun in the al-Hol camp in NE #Syria, amid concerns that internal wells have been contaminated.

A cholera isolation center has been hurriedly set up, for patients. ~40,000 people live in al-Hol, in torrid conditions.

Thank you to @Abtisam_Mohamed, @BritPalCommitt & @GAPS_Network for this vital event, and a heartfelt thank you to @WclacPalestine for briefing Parliamentarians on the daily experience and specific needs of women and girls in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.

[Kholood Khair @KholoodKhair]

Absolutely heart-breaking and brave reporting from @moehash1 upon his first return to Omdurman and his home since the war.

We need more such reporting that looks beyond the numbers.

I am so shocked and saddened by the news of Paul’s death. My deepest condolences to his students, colleagues, friends and family.

[War Studies @warstudies]

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Professor Paul Lowe, a brilliant photojournalist and cherished colleague. Visiting Professor in @warstudies, Paul worked closely with our Art and Reconciliation team. We send our deepest condolences to his family.

"How is this attempt to complete the destruction of a population begun 20 years ago not one of the dominant issues of our time, clearing the front pages & broadcast news, prompting hoarse demos & fervent protests?" @WordsAreDeeds is trying to wake the world to the horror in Sudan

[Mark Leon Goldberg @MarkLGoldberg]

My @NobelPrize prediction did not pan out. But mark my words: Sudan's Emergency Response Rooms are pioneering a transformative new model that combines humanitarian response + peacebuilding.

They may be the one thing that holds the Sudan together as men w/guns tear it apart.

[akila radhakrishnan @akila_rad]

An important offer from Sierra Leone. As states negotiate a resolution to move the CaH treaty forward, the venue of the diplomatic conference is key with Austria, New York & now Sierra Leone on the table. Shifting the venues where international law is made is vital for ownership.

🚨 New statistics on police-recorded hate crime in England and Wales (year ending March 2024) have been released: https://t.co/A4gPuyR0ZJ. Overall recorded incidents fell by 5% to 140,561. Racially motivated crimes remain the most common (98,799), despite a 5% drop.

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

I welcome @TFletcher’s appointment as UN Emergency Relief Coordinator.  

The UN's role in providing humanitarian aid has never been more critical.  

We look forward to supporting him in this vital leadership role for @UNOCHA and the wider humanitarian system.

[Nafisa Eltahir @nafisaeltahir]

Kitchens are closing as 100s are dying of hunger/disease daily.

Aid agencies aren’t in the worst areas, and increased attacks could drive out local volunteers, leaving Sudan’s most vulnerable to fend for themselves.
