In recent months, Egyptian authorities have conducted widespread arrests on the basis of racial profiling, carried out raids on areas in which refugees reside, and increased deportations. What is it like to be a Sudanese refugee in Egypt today? @halemhenish.bsky.social for @timep.bsky.social. ⤵️

Important piece by @halemhenish.bsky.social. He details challenges faced by Sudanese refugees in Egypt. Egypt has deported back to Sudan, a war zone, refugees registered with UNHCR while creating obstacles that make life in Egypt precarious for many more refugees pushing them consider risky options🧵

من هم الضحايا في سوريا؟ سؤال قد يبدو بديهيًا، لكن كثيرًا ما تخضع إجابته لاعتبارات سياسية حول هوية الضحية أو الجاني. في مقال جديد، يناقش منصور العمري أهمية تحديد مجموعات الضحايا كشرط أساسي لجبر الضرر ومنع تكرار الانتهاكات في البلاد. timep.org/post-arabic/...

📢 Lebanon’s Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is happening on January 19. Since its last UPR cycle in 2021, failure to address multilayered crises and implement reform policies has led to an increasing number of people unable to access healthcare, education, or adequate housing.

Dubbed a “voice of the Egyptian revolution,” Bassem Sabry was a visionary who championed an entire generation of young leaders from and in MENA. Today, on #GivingTuesday, we invite you to learn more about Bassem and seek inspiration from his example. youtu.be/cbWeDrlMCl0?...

Sisi's term ends in 2030. Whether or not he will be eligible for another term will depend on whether the constitution is amended--which requires a parliamentary vote. In November, Egyptians will vote in the parliament that may be tasked with that. More from @halemhenish.bsky.social ⬇️

وافق مجلس النواب المصري اليوم على قانون الإجراءات الجنائية الجديد، الذي يُشرعن الانتهاكات القانونية، ويوسّع من صلاحيات جهاز الأمن الوطني. يدخل القانون حيز التنفيذ بعد مصادقة رئيس الجمهورية عليه. إليكم تحليل @halemhenish.bsky.social لأبرز تبعات القانون: timep.org/post-arabic/...

Today, Egypt's House of Representatives approved, in a final vote, the country's new draft criminal procedure code. If ratified, the law will severely "undermine the country’s justice system." Obai Kurd Ali and @halemhenish.bsky.social unpack key issues with the law: timep.org/2024/11/07/d...

"A deeper analysis of [Egypt's asylum law's] provisions uncovers risks that could gravely endanger the rights of asylum seekers and refugees within its borders." A great piece by @timep.bsky.social colleagues Obai Kurd Ali and @halemhenish.bsky.social from the Legal Unit on Egypt's new asylum law.

Last year, the EU and Egypt entered into an agreement, in part, to "reduce irregular migration." Months later, Egypt's parliament rushed a problematic asylum law that threatens to make Egypt even less of a safe space for asylum seekers. Read Obai Kurd Ali & @halemhenish.bsky.social's analysis ⤵️

Where do they go? A year of siege, denial of rights, and criminalization of solidarity. 1/ Egypt’s response to the Gaza humanitarian disaster includes aiding forcibly displaced Palestinians, providing medical support to the sick and wounded, and facilitating humanitarian aid into Gaza.
