hcw4palestinesa I’m looking for recommendations on which medical aid provider to move to. I’ve been paying for coverage for four members for over a decade, but I want to align with a provider serious about global healthcare and justice.

The Savanna consumed by Kenyans has a lower alcohol by volume than the one we drink here. They also don't have the 500ml bottle. Beers in many other African countries have a lower abv than ours. The alcohol industry in this country is deeply problematic!

-THREAD- Geordin Hill-Lewis and Carl Pophaim constantly claim that the 2017 occupation of Woodstock Hospital is the biggest barrier to providing social housing in the area. Why then did the site sit vacant for 9 years after it was first committed for affordable housing in 2008? 1/8

From Syria, to Sudan, to Palestine and elsewhere. May all colonised and oppressed people be free.

1. In today’s @sundaytimes_za I wrote about how political leaders and GBV… Unfortunately, because of space considerations, I reduced my comment about George Matanzima to two sentences. For now, I just want to share some of what I cut out. Please read what’s in 2 photographs. 🧵

#SudanArmedForces issues rare condemnation of 'excesses' committed 'individually' in Al Gezira state, after a spate of lynchings, targeting people from Kanabi - villages where Darfurian farmworkers live. What lies behind this horror? /

Media sources reported that the (RSF) executed teacher Nadia Bilal early this morning in her village, located north of #Khartoum. She was hanged on accusations of collaborating with the #Sudanese army. (Alhadath.Alsudani) #Sudan #KeepEyesOnSudan

#Sudan 's army is on the cusp of retaking Khartoum, bringing hope that renewed stability will return to the capital. But local relief workers are terrified of being targeted in a new wave of army reprisal killings, a trend throughout the war. My latest aljazeera.com/features/2025/…

Trump's new executive order targeting South Africa & calling Afrikaners "refugees" feels far from funny after speaking to the most vulnerable - HIV+ women who will struggle to get the help they need. Our report produced by the glorious African Child youtu.be/6xvKAOGzifM?si…

Horrifying and also expected. Almost every single day for 14 months there was info trickling out of Gezira that the RSF killed at least a few people in a new village. Sometimes, they would kill dozens or go on a killing spree.

Every single person who was killed during the anti-finance bill protests in Kenya was killed by the police. The last confirmed death toll was 72, but several people remain unaccounted for.

[Thread] 1. Did #Trump shut down #USAID projects in SA or around the world? Answer: Globally. In court documents Peter Marocco submitted, he said 5 800 projects will be terminated + 500 would be retained.
