Popular Front is a grassroots media organisation that focuses solely on war and conflict. We go deeper than mainstream news in a way that makes important war coverage accessible. We’re not interested in agendas, political trends, or online arguments.

There's no traction here for independent war reporting, and it's become a waste of time already. We'll be abandoning this account. Follow our work on other platforms and follow Jake instead if you like: @hanrahan.tv
