a) yes in my world too. I mean more an op-ed in the nyt or an academic discourse. b) exactly: it hasn't rained at all this year and the standby mechanisms that were set up during the 2022/23 crises are being dismantled meaning the response will be slower and more expensive next time

I feel like someone needs to write about this paradigm shift that is currently taking place in which we move away from the consensus that we should aim to safe every life possible to wherever the hell we are moving now. we are heading towards a humanitarian catastrophe at full speed

So wahr, und wie selbstgefällig man in der mühle wird. Jegliche solidarität geht verloren in dem kampf um anerkennung und selbstverwicklichung.

Super Artikel Gabriela, aber glaubst du die Beschreibung der FPO in ihrer jetzigen Fassung als “far-right” ist zutreffend? Ich kenn mehrere der Parlamentarier aus meinen Studienzeiten und würde die zumindest als Rechtsradikal, manche sogar als Rechtsextremistisch bezeichnen.

claiming that the AU and others should focus on causes not symptoms misses the point that AS has tactical and strategic operational advantages on the ground that make it almost impossible to gain a foothold in AS controlled territories. The FGS wont be able to implement any major reforms without 2/

there seems to be a misunderstanding of the current security situation in Somalia in this article. The AU needs to provide more, not less, hard security assistance because the main problem towards stabilization remains the lack of territorial control of the SNA and allied clans. 1/

Somewhat different subject but do you know if anyone has looked into the subject of politics in MMA? Like why the UFC seems to be completely occupied by the republicans?
