Those people killing women and children by the 1000s cos’ they’re in the way, assassinating enemies by bombing them with their families, flattening neighbourhoods, let’s be very careful what words we use to classify them cos’ they are sensitive delicate fragile creatures.
In 'Eritreans on the Move' we spoke to a grassroots Eritrean refugee organisation in Addis Ababa lobbying for their rights. They shed light on insecurity in Dabat camp & the need for registration to access protection and support in Ethiopia. Here's their letter
Where are Eritreans seeking refuge amidst civil wars & exclusionary immigration policies? 'Eritreans on the Move' aims to answer this question. The project, supported by @Mixed_Migration Centre, is being conducted by @GcrCole, Temesgen Gebrehiwet and myself. Follow our updates!

How do we resist?
Jonathan Glazer bravely points to the weaponisation of the Shoah and the need to resist & denounce ongoing crimes, besides remembering the past.

The radicalisation of Israeli society is shocking.
A survey by the Israel Democracy Institute revealed that a majority of Jewish Israelis opposed a detailed political agreement to end the war & 2/3 opposed humanitarian aid to Gaza, notes @dahliasc.

Wonderful!Freedom Flotilla is back!
#FreedomFlotilla is on the move: Breaking the Siege of #Gaza.
