I find the conclusion of this event useful to bear in mind as we all try to think through the next steps to make a difference : "making the case to skeptical publics is now central to the future of aid." Politics, not economics, driving foreign aid cuts, experts warn www.devex.com/news/politic...

With India’s airstrikes against it’s neighbour, and Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif calling the strikes an “act of war”, my post over the weekend is a reminder of why @crisisgroup.org named India-Pakistan the conflict in focus for this month. ⬇️

Happy #HumanRightsDay! Although it may feel like so much more needs to happen to celebrate, the release of disappeared from #Syria's prisons, shows that even in places where hope is nearly gone, change may come and bring light to families. shorturl.at/kvIIM I hope for light in #Gaza #Sudan #Haiti

Despite Israeli assurances, public and private, about the temporary nature of their move into Syria, their presence there is a concern. Biden administration should make clear publicly that this must be a short-term response and withdrawal cannot be contingent on unrealistic demands.

#Syria To understand conflict dynamics that led to Assad's fall, check #CrisisWatch. Weeks ago, we spotted how regime forces & Russia carried out strikes on Idlib city in an "apparent bid to pre-empt a potential HTS offensive to exploit regional escalation". www.crisisgroup.org/crisiswatch/...

Le tournant souverainiste au Mali : ajuster la trajectoire | Crisis Group
Depuis 2021, les autorités maliennes ont fait du souverainisme le moteur d’une politique de rupture dans les domaines sécuritaire, diplomatique et économique. Elles peinent cependant à répondre aux attentes des populations, faute de ressources et de solutions durables aux problèmes sécuritaires. Le régime devrait explorer la voie d’un souverainisme plus équilibré.

A Course Correction for Mali’s Sovereign Turn | Crisis Group
Since taking power in 2021, Mali’s rulers have put the recovery of state sovereignty at the heart of the government's approach to security, diplomacy and the economy. But as they struggle to meet public expectations to reduce violence and face a financial squeeze, they should explore ways to adjust their approach.
