• The Triumph and Tragedy of the Olympic Refugee Team
  5 August 2021, by siawi3

  The courage of these extraordinary young athletes at the Olympics keeps the plight of refugees — and the responsibility of our own governments for their plight — in front of the eyes of the world. It’s beautiful that there’s an Olympic team for 82 million displaced people. But have we accepted mass displacement as the new normal?

• Laundering the coup in Sudan
  1 December 2021, by siawi3

  There is no kind reading of Hamdok’s motivations. Rarely has a politician’s capital plummeted so quickly in such a short span of time. Protestors immediately rejected what he views as a return, but what is essentially a reappointment to a new, toothless job.

  Mohammed al-Alami succumbed to his wounds on Wednesday evening, a few hours after he was transferred to a hospital in Hebron, making him the 11^th Palestinian child to be killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank in 2021, and the third in just one week.

• Egypt: Where do old lesbians go to die?

  I have been fighting for as long as I can remember: Fighting the world that won’t have me, fighting my family that won’t see me, fighting a notion of a god whose throne shakes in anger when I love, and fighting a self that will not yield to make it easier.

• Comment l’Occident a abandonné Snowden à Poutine
  28 septembre 2022, par siawi3

  Lanceur d’alerte oublié, Snowden a demandé, comme Assange, l’asile politique à différents pays européens. Pour toute réponse, il n’a eu que le bruit de la porte que l’on claque au nez de l’impétrant, tout en dissertant à foison sur les droits de l’homme, les valeurs humanistes, l’État de droit et autres plaisanteries destinées à masquer l’alignement systématique sur Washington.
