I profiled one team of paramedics led by Khaldun Abbas, pictured center and a total bad-ass, about a week ago for the New Humanitarian. He and his team were out in the protests again today, saving as many people as possible. thenewhumanitarian.org/news-…

A story I have been working on for a while is FINALLY out. It’s about how Germany’s colonial legacy still lives within people in Namibia today - and a few other things. 🧵

It’s about how remembrance culture - or lack thereof - shapes how citizens of the same country see each other. And it’s about how completely different realities can exist side by side but somehow never meet. There is something really tragic but also fascinating about that.

#Iraq: #CFWIJ condemns overnight imprisonment of #SomaKhalid. We believe this is an intimidation following her reporting illuminating inadequacies of management at Sulaimani’s Shar Hospital. #CFWIJ holds authorities accountable for use of censorious methods against #freepress.

After a U.S.-planned airstrike killed at least 80 Iraqi civilians in 2015, the Dutch government offered 4.4 million Euros in reconstruction aid (their F-16 dropped the bomb) . Nothing went to the airstrike victims, as @pmagid reports. theintercept.com/2022/10/29/…

In India, the War on Journalists Is All-Encompassing
