team up with inspiring experts and activists to discuss both the situation of
#Yemenis
abroad & their potential for sustainable peace. Thanks to all speakers, participants and partners for their contributions and staying engaged!
With this, Hamas achieved sth similar to ISIS when recruiting among Refugees in Europe - deepening division even further and creating mistrust where trust was already fragile to begin with
Some Israeli victims say that they recognised the attackers in the south because they used to work in the kibbutzim. This means two things:
1. This was part of
#Hamas
intel gathering
2. There will never be anymore work permits for the people of
#Gaza
to work in
#Israel
Some 7 million Yemenis are living abroad - what does this mean for war & peace inside
#Yemen
, from remittances to questions of representation?

Liest eigentlich niemand diese offene Briefe, bevor er/sie unterschreibt? Oder sind sie absichtlich so verschwurbelt, dass die Aufmerksamkeitsspanne der Zeichner zu kurz ist, um Zynismus & Absage an universale MR (die für Ukrainer_innen anscheinend nicht gelten) rauszulesen?

“Wir nehmen jeden zu Schützenden mit, der am Flugzeug ist.” Super, aber wie können wir es denn schaffen, die Leute von den Evakuierungslisten ANS Flugzeug zu bringen?
Torrential rains across southwestern Yemen and the country's capital of Sanaa have triggered flashfloods and collapsed homes, killing at least 38 people over the past two days, officials said Thursday.
“While the eyes of the world now are on the people being evacuated and the planes leaving, we need to get supplies in to help those who are left behind.”
The world is fixated on the Kabul evacuation, but worse looms for Afghans left behind. Food & medical aid have stopped because of the evacuation operation & the fighting. 1 million children could imminently die. Half of all children are malnourished
It’s a wrap: meet our almost complete
