#Rwanda Sweet Baby James - gets sanctioned as an old man... #M23 #Congo

#Britain is so far behind most of Europe it's embarrassing. 🤦🏻‍♀️

@bsky.app Why do you make it impossible to select or copy profile wording (for translation)? It's a real pain when trying to find out more about someone's profile in another language.

The British surveillance state is constantly growing, makes China look light weight and needs challenging. Particularly as data gets amalgamated with AI.

#Panama financialpost.com/commodities/...

#Ukraine I've got a diamond mine in Tooting for sale... 🤦🏻‍♀️

This totally misunderstands Ferguson's book The Antipolitics Machine... Or maybe it proves Ferguson's point.

🚨 APPLE WITHDRAWS ENCRYPTION TECH FROM UK 🚨 The Home Office’s actions have deprived millions of Britons from accessing a security feature. UK citizens will be at higher risk of their personal data and family photos falling into the hands of criminals and predators ‼️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#Rwanda Too little, too late, the US sanctions James Kabarebe and Lawrence Kanyuka. #M23 #DRCongo home.treasury.gov/news/press-r...

#Germany Heinrich Böll Stiftung has EU & North America listed as one region... Eastern/South Eastern Europe are 'separate'. How they see the world....

#Gaza Painting everyone who works for Hamas as 'terrorists' is total nonsense. The civil staff are like the local council. Sinn Fein to Ireland's IRA in fact. Note the usual suspects who complained. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

#DRCongo “If Rwanda's behaviour does not change, the United Nations should reassess Rwanda's ability to participate constructively in UN peacekeeping operations” US Ambassador Dorothy Shea.

#Gaza Give thanks! I thought he was going to come out in a body bag.

#Ukraine The Guardian on Ukraine. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Britain on Ukraine. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Europe on Ukraine. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Ukraine on Ukraine. 😵‍💫 Refugee Ukrainians in my neighbourhood ✊🏻🥳

#Goma Hubert Leclercq got into Goma. Obviously his report is influenced by that but it's still interesting & nicely captures a feeling.[français] afrique.lalibre.be/79454/rdc-a-...

#Rwanda has put Belgium on the naughty step and suspended development cooperation...

#LSE Climate capitalism: can market-based solutions save the planet? Really interesting discussion with Brett Christophers, Benjamin Braun & Daniela Gabor Thank you @jonathanhopkin.bsky.social for organising

#Ukraine To be absolutely clear here, I've worked on media analytics for global defence companies. I really know the terrain. Why do you think defence stocks are going through the roof right now? 🤑

#Germany watching the footage earlier of police Ninjas bursting in & forcefully emptying the venue of a HUMAN RIGHTS LAW talk & film is utterly bizarre. Germany has got its priorities very wrong.

#Ukraine every time you hear the European war hawks banging drums read this. It's not viable. Exactly the same as those who insist on Putin's 'imperial ambitions'. responsiblestatecraft.org/paris-summit...

#DRCongo UN Commissioner for Human Rights: "confirmed reports of M23 executing children" #Rwanda

Lol... The lobbying for weapons companies is off the clock. This 'report' from the very right-wing Baltics came via the US neoconservative ISW in a UK journal that's also a contract lobby zone... Media literacy these days is dire. 🤦🏻‍♀️

#DRCongo The Congolese army is fighting #M23 in Mambasa, Lubero since the early hours of this morning. In Butembo young reservists are training (keen but motley) for back up. The Grand Nord is threatened from all sides - it's really disturbing.

#Uganda The silence on this from the department of academic op-eds is very telling. 🙁

#Ukraine This, by @leonidragozin.bsky.social is spot on. As the walls come tumbling down, just remember there could have been peace at the start + a lot less dead Ukrainians but for Johnson & Biden & co. www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

#Ukraine Weapons company lobbies for more weapons. Shocker. 🤦🏻‍♀️

#DRCongo Report from Sake (which is slightly marred by notices floating over the top about being a Qatar gov channel - which idiot thought of this? 🤦🏻‍♀️)

#Ukraine www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

#Uganda Winnie Byanyima , Kizza Besigye's wife, described seeing him in Luzira prison today. It sounds grim. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...?

I really want to hear this but as usual, my beloved alma mater has no online or livestream arrangements. @soasuni.bsky.social please join us in the 21st century.

#Ukraine How convenient.. just as defence is on the table. 🙄

#DRCongo This has now been confirmed to me. 520 people across the various UN organisations (not only MONUSCO) departed Beni for Entebbe yesterday.

#DRCongo There's a lot of noise & spin being circulated over the other place so foreign observers should be very (more 😏) careful about what they push. #M23

#DRCongo MONUSCO is reported by LeJournal Afrique [based in Bujumbura] to be evacuating Beni to 'avoid unforeseen circumstances'. This is unconfirmed so far.

#SouthAfrica Coal as a 'critical mineral'.
