Civil society, not civil war. Do please repost, #Elon

In which a Dutch man writes an article for a Swiss newspaper, betraying a total misunderstanding of the UK, deploys a depressing range of racist tropes… but above all tries to sell his own latest book. No buyers here. @nzz try harder. nzz.ch/feuilleton/gew…

“We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

Talks on #SudanConflict begin in #Switzerland. But without key warring party Sudanese Armed Forces. I'm told diplomats hope to leave door open - talks could last up to 10 days.

Today, the Emergency Committee on #mpox met and advised me that in its view, the situation constitutes a public health emergency of international concern. I have accepted that advice. World Health Organization (WHO) is on the ground, working with the affected countries, and others at risk, through our

Another summer profile from Inside Geneva #podcast. We could all learn from Flag21.

It's #WorldHumanitarianDay, and the number of aid workers killed has reached a record high. The United Nations is appealing for the attacks to stop #ActforHumanity. Listen to our Inside Geneva special, with indepth interviews with aid workers...on challenges, rewards, grief, and loss.

Another amazing and humbling conversation with Fereshta Abbasi of Human Rights Watch . Listen, admire, and support women in #Afghanistan

Very sad. World Health Organization (WHO) confirms that a 10-month-old baby in #Gaza is now paralysed due to #Polio. The first case in more than 25 years. Polio will not make the distinction between Palestinian & Israeli children. Delaying a humanitarian pause will increase the risk of spread among

Being a journalist is often stressful, and thankless. Not this time… bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3…

And here’s the written version. But sadly, unlike the radio story, you can’t hear me (hard task) tasting the new chocolate. bbc.com/news/articles/…

A new Taliban law "silences women’s voices and deprives them of their autonomy" as it tries "to render them into faceless, voiceless shadows”, says the UN rights office. “This is utterly intolerable.” news.un.org/en/story/2024/…

Gaza: Little Abdul Rahman became the enclave's 1st polio case in 25 yrs last week, suffering paralysis in his left leg. @UN_News spoke exclusively to his mother who told us constant displacement meant he couldn't be vaccinated.

Bitter disappointment - and fury - from human rights and environmental groups in #Switzerland that govt has decided to ignore @ECHR landmark ruling on KlimaSeniorinnen swissinfo.ch/eng/climate-ch…

It appears pauses will not cover entirety of each zone, according to a map - seen by Reuters on Friday - that a U.N. source said was from COGAT. The map appears to show that the pause will take place in a smaller area within each zone - by Emma Farge reuters.com/business/healt…

To all the folks replying here along the lines of “but they were convicted of crimes in Germany” - you know being tortured to death is not an acceptable criminal sentence in today’s Germany, right? Perhaps you’re thinking of (and hoping for) an earlier Germany?

The polio vaccination campaign has officially begun in #Gaza, with the goal of reaching 640,000 children. To protect these young lives, we need at least 90% coverage. A lasting humanitarian pause is vital. Heartfelt thanks to all parties who are ensuring the safety of health

Our final summer profile, and such an important listen. So give it your time. Thanks to Global Survivors Fund it was an honour.

We really need to enter Gaza to support our Palestinian journalist colleagues and to report. But neither Israel nor Egypt will allow us.
