Just when you think that the Trump Administration policies can't get anymore inhumane and cruel...along comes this idea. Clearly no one around that table has read My Fourth Time , We Drowned..and if they have then they are as purely evil as their actions. @sallyhayd.bsky.social

What is the significance of Libya? Please read 'My Fourth Time, We Drowned' to learn about the crimes against humanity taking place there, & how vulnerable people are already sent there to be abused & silenced. #trump #gaza www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat... bsky.app/profile/sall...

We can't all take the " high moral ground" ( as I have done ) by leaving the platform formerly known as Twitter as @sallyhayd.bsky.social points out here. There are plenty of other surreal " normalities" to glean from here too. www.irishtimes.com/world/middle...

I can't stop thinking about the people Chris Maddaloni and I met while reporting in east Chad. Feel a bit zealous about making sure their voices are heard. Here's a thread of our pieces, videos & broadcasting slots. Chris's photos are beautiful. Start with this one www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

Powerful testament here from @patrickfreyne.bsky.social on his recent time in Chad which resulted in his recent articles on the Sudanese Humanitarian Crisis. Great to hear him citing the work of @sallyhayd.bsky.social amongst others.

I spent the last week in camps for Sudanese refugees in east Chad. This is the first piece, about international aid cuts & hunger. The kid at the end reminded me of my nephew. More coming next week. The heartbreaking photos are from Chris Maddaloni www.irishtimes.com/world/africa...

Here's some good news for a change, Francesca Alabanese's mandate as the UN's special rapporteur for Palestine has been renewed until 2028 despite a very concerted campaign to prevent this. A brave voice who refuses to be bullied into silence. 🇵🇸 ✊
