as suspected the "deal" Genocide Joe presented was just a PR propaganda ploy to shift blame and keep the Gaza genocide going, but it backfired because Hamas yet again reiterated that it was open to it as it's the deal they have presented all along, while Israeli again rejected it

If one includes both direct & indirect deaths from Israel's assault, the death toll in Gaza goes up to 186,000 people, according to the medical journal The Lancet. That's 1 in every 12 Gaza inhabitants killed in the last 9 months of genocide.

A key part about the International Court of Justice ruling on Israel's occupation: It held Israel responsible for apartheid in the occupied Palestinian territory, as @HRW and other rights groups had already found. So much for those convenient deniers. hrw.org/news/2024/07/1…

Nationwide protests are set to begin in #Nigeria. Much like the recent protests in Kenya and Uganda, the protesters - many of them young people - are fed up with a cost-of-living crisis, ineffective leadership, and corruption. #GenZProtests theguardian.com/world/article/… Eromo Egbejule

Brilliant piece by Nanjala Nyabola The ‘ungoverning’ of Kenya Since the beginning of antigovernment protests in June, Kenya is living through a period of ungoverning, in which institutions and rules are being undermined by the state itself. aje.io/uv12bf
