Gaza’s landscape is unrecognisable to its people.

The Yellow Line has partitioned the strip, with Israeli forces lethally enforcing it as a “no-go” zone; they have also levelled entire neighbourhoods on their side of the line as they push it farther toward the sea.

#JournalismIsNotACrime. The criminalisation of all reporting unless it serves the State's purposes must stop.

“The UAE is killing Sudanese people… Mohammed bin Zayed, they are killing people in my country,” he said.

Someone accompanying the Emirati ruler responds: “Fuck you, fuck your people… motherfucker, black bitch.”

"Inshallah" simply means "God willing" in Arabic.

It's a common expression used by Arabic speakers of all faiths, not just Muslims. Christians say it, and many Arabic-speaking Jews do, too.

Nothing to be afraid of.

This video captures the state of India's mainstream media today: not a question for Home Minister & Modi's closest ally, Amit Shah. Just deference from fawning journalists.

What started as outrage over leaked medical entrance exams turned into one of India's largest youth-led protest movements.

They call themselves "cockroaches" after a top official compared jobless youth to the pests.

@Zebaism reports on how India's Gen Z took on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, one of the world's most powerful leaders.

He didn’t carry a weapon. He carried food. He didn’t incite violence. He served meals. Since when did being a food volunteer at Jantar Mantar during CJP protests become a crime? Who will stand up for Junaid? A police force that sees a food volunteer as a threat needs to ask itself some hard questions.🙏
