Mandalay remains unbowed. Watch: how the resistance marks Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s 80th birthday, defying both the junta’s brutality and a devastating earthquake.

The people of Myanmar stage another nation-wide massive Silent Strike on December 10, defying junta and rejecting sham elections. The people’s will has never been stronger.

I avoid shaming people on social media, as I don't want to contribute to making this space even more toxic. But I think there is a need to address this phenomenon of Western leftists who ignore and even shame voices from inside Iran and other countries suffering the blight of

Iranian here! I want to thank American leftists for educating me these past few days & correcting my understanding of Iran & radical Islam I almost trusted my own experience, my parents’ trauma, and what my family in Iran endures daily instead of your wisdom. What would I

As missile sirens wail over Jerusalem and families crowd into bomb shelters, this episode asks what war are we really watching? Perhaps what looks like a Middle Eastern conflagration is in fact a pivot in a far larger US–China confrontation. What world may emerge from this fire?

I've said it before and I'll say it again No one has done more damage to the prevention of real genocidal acts than the hateful, bigoted antizionist left who uses the legal term "genocide" as a rhetorical weapon against democracies These people care not about genocide

Sharing this (by Iranian musician Peyman Salimi) because I can relate to it. „Back in January, when the Iranian regime massacred over 32,000 people, almost none of my non-Iranian friends reached out to ask if any of the dead were my family or friends. In the past 48 hours, I've

Weirdly, Iranian embassy in Pretoria notified us, Ukrainian diplomats, about opening a book of condolences in memory of ayatollah Khamenei and the military leadership of Iran. I decided to respond - and do it in a public way. The letter explains why. Your Excellency, Mr.

The Islamic Republic has spent 45 years screaming about war and “fighting enemies,” even after dragging Iran through Iran-Iraq war for 8 years. Yet it has done absolutely nothing to protect civilians. No shelters. No warning sirens. Nothing. And now they have completely shut

My friend in Iran wrote: “We are in the middle of a war. The Israeli army sends warnings so civilians can protect their lives. Meanwhile our own government threatens to kill us 24/7. [So tell me] who is really the enemy?”

“If regime kills me in Iran, my family must pay money to get my body back and be forced to do a false confession on TV. But if I die in a U.S. strike, at least no one will force my family to pay money or lie.” This is the frustration Iranians live with.

A Lebanese message to the world: This is NOT OUR WAR 🇱🇧 By Saleh Machnouk

"My father survived Russian captivity, but his heart gave out." Ukrainian marine Oleksandr Savov died eight months after surviving nearly three years of Russian torture. Today marks one year since the release he did not live to commemorate.

Ukrainian instructors were shocked by the reckless use of air defense systems in the Gulf countries. According to Ukrainian military personnel, multiple missiles are often launched at a single target — up to eight Patriot interceptors costing around $3 million each — even when

Crisis in Sagaing 🚨 The junta bombed the Maha Four-Story Monastery where displaced families sought refuge killing nearly 80 monks and IDPs. #Burma remains unstable, relentless airstrikes, massacres, and crimes against humanity continue. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Raviv Drucker, an Israeli journalist who presents an investigative program on Israel’s Channel 13, doesn’t mince his words and offers what must be said by those who actually care about Israel’s democratic ethos and rule of law: "When dozens of masked people beat Palestinians for

I have just come back Myanmar 🇲🇲 where I spent two weeks traveling around the resistance-held territories of the Sagaing region. Its a remote region which no other foreign press has managed to visit since the start of the war five years ago. I'll share some impressions below 🧵

What I found especially shocking was the obvious and deliberate targeting of hospitals in resistance-held territories. I visisted a number of facilities, and all had been bombed out of service by the junta. All the deny people living here any kind of medical care.

When a warplane comes the children are instructed to leave the classrooms through the emergency door and jump into the trench to take cover. A bell on the school ground serves as the alarm system. The students all know its sound very well.

What is striking to see is how widespread the support for this resistance is across this region. Almost every village, even the ones of only a couple dozen people, have memorials like this, dedicated to local men (and sometimes women) who died in the ranks of the PDF resistance.
