Congratulations to President Carles Puigdemont on a resounding vindication by the UN of his political rights (and the political rights of those who voted for him and were then disenfranchised by the Spanish State). It’s been a long road. elnacional.cat/en/politics/un…

Why should white people have any say in this? It’s one night FFS when people who identify as black can discuss this production about black experience without being watched by er… white people. What’s can possibly be wrong with that? thetimes.co.uk/article/london…

Rest in power, and in peace, my oldest, closest and dearest friend. A shining star, a truly good soul, and the most loyal friend any person - and any newly independent nation - could hope for. koha.net/en/arboretum/4…

People are starting to gather right now in Pristina’s central square for a spontaneous candle-lit vigil for my dear friend and co-fighter, the irreplaceable Andrew Strong.

Leading the mourners in Pristina is Ramush Haradinaj who was the very first to call as soon as the news came in. He wanted to remind us that Andrew is regarded by the entire Haradinaj family as one of their own.
