Last year, while working at my hometown paper I was banned from covering protest stories after calling out a racial double standard. A year later, I returned to Pittsburgh as a reporter for @VICENews to see how those same protests are shaping the upcoming mayoral race.
(2/2) Igor was always keen to talk CAR but he also wanted to know how you were doing, ask about your kid, share a beer. His quiet ability to connect helped him in his research, too. Rest in peace, Igor. usip.org/publications/2020/0…
(1/2) Saddened by the passing of @IgorAcko, a brilliant analyst and a friend to many. In meetings large and small, in Bangui and internationally, Igor broke down CAR's complexity and pushed us to look beyond the easy explanations. Thank you, Igor.

Over the past two years Sudanese artists have captured the hope of a nation & mobilized the masses to Sudan's nonviolent revolution. It was inspiring to work w/ @mojogallerySD, @sudalove_ , @galalgoly , @Merg_Salih , @khalidalbaih & others on this piece. tinyurl.com/y5ygpd3p

Awe-inspiring pics coming out of Sudan today, as planned marches commemorate 40 days - the traditional grieving period - since the June 3rd massacre.
Absolutely, @3ozaz. #Sudan 's peaceful protestors have been very aware of the role they could play in inspiring other movements in the region. And the message spreading to the region now? Repression works & there are few consequences. Leaders in the region have surely taken note.

White coat protests remind me of a Sudanese university student whom I met in 2015. She led a sit-in at the hospital in her mid-sized town to highlight the urgent need for more medical supplies. This uprising is underpinned by many years of creativity and bravery #SudanUprising
Mourning Ginny Bouvier, who inspired so many with her optimism, creativity, perseverance and her profound commitment to peace and justice.
Great @ConstitutionNet piece on why Honduras Supreme Court decision matters for nat'l level politics: bit.ly/2jq5vZQ #electingpeace
(2/2) This effectively removed term limits. Country polarized over Pres. Hernandez's decision to run for 2nd term #electingpeace
(1/2) Tension in Honduras as Nov 2017 elections approach. Supreme Court invalidated Art. 239 of 1982 constitution #electingpeace #honduras
