رغم الأدلة المتزايدة على الدعم العسكري الإماراتي لـ "قوات الدعم السريع" في #السودان، بما يشمل أسلحة فرنسية الصنع، تلتزم فرنسا صمتا مريبا. ينبغي لفرنسا تعليق تسليم الأسلحة إلى الإمارات ودعم فرض عقوبات أوروبية على الجهات الإماراتية الضالعة في مساندة قوات الدعم السريع. bit.ly/44LzSQk

صمت فرنسا المقلق إزاء دور الإمارات في السودان
كم مجزرة ينبغي أن تقع في السودان حتى تكسر فرنسا صمتها إزاء مساندة دعم الإمارات لـ "قوات الدعم السريع"؟ بعد ثلاث سنوات على اندلاع النزاع بين قوات الدعم السريع والجيش السوداني، يلوح خطر وقوع فظائع جماعي...

The killings in Mai Kadra, in northwestern Ethiopia, started around 3 p.m. on November 9, 2020. When night fell it did not bring peace. Hundreds died. Who, exactly, killed whom first, where, and how, we don't know.

In the @thenewarab.bsky.social I set out why UK PM Starmer's slashing UK aid is morally bankrupt & incredibly short sighted. It will cost lives, perpetuate instability, & undermine the UK's soft power and role on the global stage. It is a gift to authoritarians. www.newarab.com/opinion/keir...

Keir Starmer, slashing UK aid is unconscionable and shortsighted
By cutting UK aid, Keir Starmer isn’t just catering to Donald Trump, he’s threatening lives and making the world a more dangerous place, says Yasmine Ahmed.
