How fortunate our @SOAS MA ISD students were able to visit the German Embassy in London and speak with the @GermanAmbUK and at such an important time for Germany. Huge thank you to @NickWestcott4 and Ambassador Miguel Berger (photo courtesy of the German Embassy)

Happy Christmas all

Just stunning hypocrisy by Russian FM Lavrov @DohaForum referring to UNSC resolution and calling on Syrian rebels to respect this - respect sovereign equality of states

Just two weeks ago, the world assumed Syria was settled and Assad was in charge. Today, apparently informed sources say an official statement is out ‘the international community will not stand in the way of the wishes of the people of Syria’. @DohaForum

Tremendous team to be part of, as part of the opposition. We collectively argued against the motion, at the Oxford Union, that the U.S. is a failing democracy
