Only now that the war in Gaza is over, we wake up to the fact that the worst humanitarian catastrophe of the century is taking place in Sudan. Warring parties, both Arab, are supported by foreign actors who we don't pressure because we have chosen to ignore this.

Werkelijk? "de politie kwam ter plaatse maar de drones waren verdwenen"

I'm saddened that I had to end my decades of @washingtonpost.com membership. It used to be a fantastic newspaper that I proudly supported.
But firing @karenattiah.bsky.social goes WAY over my red lines. And I do enforce these.

Russia has that many casualties in 2 months.
Britain will have trouble sustaining 10,000 personnel in Ukraine.
