Die Lage in #Sudan ist erschütternd. Seit 2,5 Jahren herrscht Krieg. 13 Mio. Menschen sind auf der Flucht, 30 Mio. brauchen dringend humanitäre Hilfe. Die aktuellen Menschenrechtsverletzungen und Gräueltaten in #ElFasher müssen Konsequenzen haben, die internationale Gemeinschaft muss handeln. 1/2

Deutschland sollte darauf drängen, "dass zivile Interessen bei Verhandlungen zwischen den Staaten der Region und den Kriegsparteien nicht kurzsichtigem Pragmatismus geopfert werden", schreiben @ulfterlinden.bsky.social und Ahmed Kodouda zu #Sudan.

🗞️Der #GERD wurde eröffnet. Der Staudamm löst Spannungen zwischen Ägypten und #Äthiopien hinsichtlich der Kontrolle des Nilwassers aus. Unser Kollege @ulfterlinden.bsky.social sprach mit @zdfde.bsky.social über die regionale Dimension des Konflikts: www.zdfheute.de/politik/ausl...
Äthiopiens Mega-Staudamm: Das Nil-Projekt soll wirtschaftlich boomen, doch spaltet Nordafrika.
Äthiopien baut am Nil einen Staudamm, der für wirtschaftliches Wachstum sorgen soll. Der Sudan und Ägypten fürchten um lebenswichtiges Wasser.

Somalia - Die internationale Sparpolitik fördert Hunger und Terror
Nicht nur die USA, auch die EU, Deutschland und andere Staaten geben weniger Geld für humanitäre Hilfe aus als früher. In Somalia hat das drastische Folgen.

1/ Just got off the phone with my team in Palestine. Last night's attacks on Gaza are yet another war crime by Israel. Over 400 people—mostly civilians—were killed, many in residential buildings, a designated shelter, and other civilian infrastructure.

I talked to 10 current and former Meta employees about the company's surrender to the right on speech issues. All were upset. One person called the changes "a precursor to genocide" www.platformer.news/meta-fact-ch...
But in its panicked retreat from the system it spent years building, Meta may now be putting billions of users at risk. Just because Meta deleted that line about hateful speech causing offline violence doesn't mean it isn't true. And now the company has all but declared open season on immigrants, transgender people and whatever other targets that Trump and his allies find useful in their fascist project. "I can't tell you how much harm comes from non-illegal but harmful content," a longtime former trust and safety employee at the company told me. The classifiers that the company is now switching off meaningfully reduced the spread of hate movements on Meta's platforms, they said. "This is not the climate change debate, or pro-life vs. pro-choice. This is degrading, horrible content that leads to violence and that has the intent to harm other people."

Where millions are struggling to secure their next meal, does the grandeur of a €25M National Palace Renovation truly resonate with the average #Ethiopia -n?

Or does it serve as a stark reminder of the growing divide between the powerful and the powerless?

#Puntland 's announcement to introduce its own currency should raise serious alarm over the state of the political reconstruction process in #Somalia. Political geography dictates that PL elites would be least interested in fragmentation, if avoidable.

Some urgent house-keeping:

An AfD-supporting Musk-admirer crashed his car into a xmas market in #Magdeburg / Germany.

@elonmusk endorses the in part right-extremist & Nazi #AfD which is even too far right for Marine Le Pen to work with.

A violent escalation b/w FGS & Jubaland forces, if confirmed, would mark another serious low point in the re-building of a federal & peaceful #Somalia, where foreign military training & equipment are provided while fundamentals on mission & federal checks/balances remain unanswered.
