New paper: bmjpublichealth.bmj.com/content/3/2/... how violence affects teachers mental health and teaching practices in DRC and Niger. The issue requires way more global attention. Thanks @gauthiermarchais.bsky.social for being an effective and inspiring PI on this research!

Excellent statement by the #LemkinInstitute calling out Clinton’s Genocide Denial "Young people in the U.S. are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide – something the Secretary might consider doing as well." #Genocide #USA #Israel #Clinton www.lemkininstitute.com/statements-n...

We're still very much in shock here at the @iobua.bsky.social: the Flemish government decided to cut all of our our core-funding, with only 3 months of financing left (and after a particularly positive evaluation of our institute) #saveIOB blog.uantwerpen.be/iob/iob-unde...

"Israel has committed genocide in the Gaza Strip, UN Commission finds" The UN joins other experts including the International Association of Genocide Scholars, Holocaust historians, and multitudes of lawyers in concluding this is genocide. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

We’re at the post WWII inflection point: the state created for survivors of the most notorious genocide in history itself commits genocide. At the same time, 100,000 Britons march for fascism in London. Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, UN commission of inquiry says www.bbc.com/news/article...

British doctor comes back from Gaza and confirms two things we knew: 1- the Israelis *specifically* confiscate formula feed to starve children 2- there is a clear pattern in gun shot wounds pointing to the fact that IDF soldiers are playing games hunting humans. www.instagram.com/reel/DMm03Kp...

"This tragedy must end now – immediately and decisively. Every political hesitation, every attempt at justification of the horrors being committed under international watch will forever be judged as a collective failure to preserve humanity in war." Rare to see an @icrc.org statement like this.

Good news - and biggest impact (surprisingly) is on child poverty. But still small compared to the two-child benefit cap - remains essential to remove that if government is to be serious about child poverty www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

This 83-year-old priest has just been arrested for holding a sign which read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” According to Starmer’s new law, this puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist, with a prison sentence of up to 14 years.

Day after day, the Israeli government continues its project of the physical elimination of the population of Gaza. The world does nothing. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Read Karen Hao. Read her now.

Jean-Pierre Filiu a passé un mois à Gaza. Il publie « Un historien à Gaza », un récit qui mêle son témoignage, les voix des habitantes et habitants de Gaza et l’analyse de la guerre menée par Israël dans l’enclave. Il est l’invité d’« À l’air libre ». Par À l’air libre

I hope this piece will receive the acclaim it deserves. It's a unique and essential systematic comparison between JNIM and IS-Sahel, from a doctrinal and governance perspective, based on primary data. Read!

Faute de percée décisive sur le front, les forces armées de Moscou lancent une quantité de drones jamais vue sur leur voisin. L’Ukraine réplique en tentant de frapper la machine militaire russe, qui préparerait une grande offensive d’été. Par @justinebrabant.bsky.social

“Reuters examined the data from the Gaza Health Ministry to look more closely at those who have died. It found that more than one-fifth of those killed in the territory were children under the age of 12. More than 1,200 families were completely wiped out”

Since the end of the Cold War, the number of border walls and fences around the world has sextupled. But do they actually work? In this piece for @foreignpolicy.com, Shalaka Thakur, @weigand.bsky.social and I draw on our research and share some scepticism foreignpolicy.com/2025/05/23/b...

Scrapping the two-child limit and benefit cap should be a priority in tackling child poverty. This could lift 500,000 children out of poverty, and is by far the most effectively targeted route. Read more➡️https://buff.ly/4biQa5z

My colleague @mgerver.bsky.social has created this open letter to Keir Starmer opposing the measures announced in last week's Immigration White Paper, on economic, political and moral grounds. Open to all academics/researchers to sign. molliegerver.weebly.com/petition.html

Never judge a book by its cover, but I wouldn't mind being judged on this cover. My book is coming out in June with @cambridgeup.bsky.social in the African Studies Series (@mariasolemarsh.bsky.social). You can pre-order here: www.cambridge.org/core/books/f...

La colonisation de l'Afrique, on en entend souvent parler dans l'actualité, sans pour autant forcément savoir comment ça s'est passé dans les faits. Alors pour y voir un peu plus clair, RDV demain à 9h30 avec @camillelefebvre.bsky.social sur Twitch pour en discuter ! www.twitch.tv/notabenemovies

Gaza, une guerre coloniale : l'émission en accès libre de @mediapart.fr reçoit quatre auteurs et autrices d'un livre collectif qui paraît chez Actes Sud alors que Benyamin Nétanyahou réaffirme qu’il n’existe « aucune situation où [Israël] arrêter[a] la guerre ». www.mediapart.fr/journal/inte...

This chart from Immigration White Paper illustrates quality of government's underlying "analysis." 1. Numbers are completely wrong (in fact non-EU employment in health/care rose by over 100K). 2. Doesn't say what time period this is. 3. Footnote to source says data is from OECD (it's from HMRC)

This won't have much impact on net migration, but will hinder integration, promote "churn", and increase hardship. Mean-spirited, unnecessary, and unpopular. www.ft.com/content/f844...

Starmer's anti-immigrant speech today wasn't just a moral and political embarrassment. It was also an intellectual embarrassment. inews.co.uk/opinion/star...

Tout à l'heure @franceinter.fr va parler de François #Mitterrand et de son rapport à la #colonisation et à la #Françafrique. @snegaroff.bsky.social invite Pascal Blanchard. Vous pouvez aussi faire un tour sur @afriquexxi.bsky.social et 1) (ré)écouter notre émission consacrée à ce sujet⬇️

I’m glad to see this article but it’s after 24 hours of unchallenged corporate guff dominating the news cycle. Tony Blair is a tech lobbyist who is literally writing naive, venal & dangerous policy for Starmer’s government. Call it out. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
