“I wouldn't call this a House of Representatives that represents the will of the people at all,” @selhussieny.bsky.social says of the recent Parliamentary election in Egypt. There is unprecedented interference in the selection of the Chairman of the House and other heads of committees.

Egypt’s human rights record should remain under scrutiny in 2026, notes @selhussieny.bsky.social. Key areas to monitor include fair trial guarantees, the chronic crisis of arbitrary detention, conditions of prisoners in detention centers, transnational and digital repression and women’s rights.

🔔 Join us on January 27, at 10 AM ET for an online event exploring the top foreign affairs, economic, and political issues facing Egypt, with @selhussieny.bsky.social, @nancyokail.bsky.social, @tekaldas.bsky.social, moderated by @maitelsadany.bsky.social. Register now: timep.org/2026/01/21/e...

Lawyer Hoda Abdel-Moneim has been arbitrarily imprisoned in Egypt for 7 years. Her health condition is now extremely critical and threatens her life. As Chair of @droi.europarl.europa.eu, I renew my call for the immediate release of Hoda and the other detained lawyers.

The EU promised Egypt €7.4 billion in exchange for human rights improvements. Sadly, we see no change so far. Don't roll out the red carpet for Al-Sisi, but demand change during Wednesday's summit: No human rights improvements, no EU money. That's our message to @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu 👇

The Egyptian regime is using @soltan’s father, Dr. Salah Soltan, as a hostage—denying him medical care and holding him in solitary confinement to punish Mohamed in exile. This is part of Egypt’s escalating transnational repression. 🔗 shorturl.at/1T0yM #FreeSalahSoltan #TNR

🔴 At #HRC59, Samar Elhussieny said Egypt uses bureaucratic erasure to strip HRDs of legal existence and block their return, paralysis, not law. She called for the end of these abuses and for ensuring the right to return without fear. #Egypt #HumanRights @selhussieny.bsky.social

Have not seen much on here on Sudan, so I'm amplifying this horrific report that shows the number who are killed is higher than previously estimated. Adding here other writing to read to understand this war that has displaced over 11 million people; the highest displacement crisis globally. 🧵

The fatality count has exceeded 5,000 civilian casualties, including the tragic loss of approximately 2,420 innocent children in the Gaza region. However, all Western media and governments are emphasizing is :

Nothing radicalizes people more than injustice! #CeasefireNOW

When Tom Yorke wrote “bring down the government they don't speak for us” I think ironically it’s a universal saying that can be used by any citizen in any fucking country in this fucked up world. And I know how anarchistic this sounds but it’s the truth.🤷🏽‍♂️

While protests are taking place worldwide in support of the people in #Gaza, calling for #CeasefireNOW & #StopGazaGenocide,Western governments openly support #Israel's war crimes. The question is, do these governments truly represent their people? Or do they see us as sub-humans?

We can't breathe since 1948!

Incredible scenes in amsterdam dam square completey pcked and overflowing

Ordering a million people in Gaza to evacuate when there’s no safe place to go, is not an effective warning. The roads are rubble, fuel is scarce and the main hospital is in the evacuation zone. This warning doesn't give license to harm the many civilians who can't or won't leave.

Tomorrow, opposition leader @hishamkassem stands in front of court for his first appeal on the 6-month verdict he received on false charges. His imprisonment during the presidential race highlights Egyptian regime's disregard for human rights and democracy. #FreeHishamKassem

My latest story, for the Atlantic.

Banning women from one of the world’s most stunning national parks. Pushing girls out of school at age 10. Shuttering all beauty salons at a cost of 60,000 women’s jobs. The last month or two has been a busy time for the Taliban.

Why did General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi feel obliged to unleash this killing spree, which was broadcast live to every Egyptian home?
