He had two choices: flee or stay. Hasan chose to hang on through gunfire and chaos in Khartoum. This is what he saw.

New: I haven't owned a cellphone since ~2017. Telecom breaches, SIM swaps, SS7 attacks, location data selling, all reasons I don't have one. A startup selling a privacy-focused phone network to the US military is now offering it to the public. I tried it 404media.co/i-dont-own-a-cel…

I Don't Own a Cellphone. Can This Privacy-Focused Network Change That?

A small tech company called Cape has been selling a privacy-focused cellphone service to the U.S. military. Now Cape will be offering its product to high-risk members of the public.

Jaw-dropping: In @AJListeningPost's latest, the NYT's ex-Jerusalem Bureau Chief - now EIC of the Forward - unashamedly says that while October 7 can be described as a "massacre," "barbaric," "atrocities," those words are simply not appropriate to describe Israel's war.

Yaroun used to be a lively small town, with a mixed Shia Muslim and Greek-Catholic population. A land of emigration, many of its people settled in Bell, California. After a year of Israeli bombardments, this is what remains of it.
