Telling chart from The Economist. The number of vetoes in the #UNSC in 2024 so far is already approaching the highest number of vetoes *in a whole year* in the post-Cold War era. There will be more. economist.com/international/…

I wrote TRT World how Israel made #Gaza the deadliest place for aid workers. The 308 recorded incidents in Gaza surpass #Afghanistan's record of 81 incidents in 2013 and nearly match #Syria's 320 incidents over a decade-long conflict. Crisis Group trtworld.com/opinion/israel…

Fantastic work by my Crisis Group colleagues on South Sudan. A must read thread by Comfort Ero explaining the complex dynamics.

Somebody asked me what the prospects of elections being held in Libya are. This is what I said: 👇🏻 (From ispionline.it/it/pubblicazio…)

Ahmed Sanussi is one of the bravest Libyan journalists I know. He has been reporting on economic issues and corruption for years. On 11 July he was kidnapped in Tripoli, days after he posted a video in which he revealed that a minister & security apparatus were after him for some

So glad to see that Ahmed Sanusi was just released. 💪

#Israel #Iran The slide into an uncontrollable regional conflict is accelerating, with the region in perhaps its most perilous moment in decades. While all sides should exercise restraint, it is hard to ignore that minus a ceasefire in #Gaza, more escalation seems inevitable.
