A visual analysis shows the U.S. likely bombed a migrant detention center in Yemen on April 28. At least three U.S.-made GBU-39 bombs at the site of the attack, which killed 68 African migrants, according to the Houthis, a militant group that controls northern Yemen.

The story of this election really is BSW and Linke. When Sahra Wagenknecht finally split off in 2023, the Linke was thought to be dead. In line with every pundit's favorite narrative, the new left-authoritarian version (BSW) would do well, while the left-progressive Linke that remained was doomed 1/

Thinking today of Elizabeth Tsurkov, whom I never met personally but who wrote for us on several occasions. She was for years a must-read analyst on Syria's civil war and the armed groups fighting it until Kataib Hezbollah took her hostage in Baghdad ~2 yrs ago. I hope her captivity also ends soon.

: The insurgency announced that its forces have taken the city of Homs in its entirety. President Assad now only controls just a few cities in all of Syria. It comes not long after KSA, Qatar + other Arab FMs met w/Iran, Turkey, and Russian officials in Doha.

Somehow stumbled across the concept of "polyphony" in the context of Russian Orthodox theological disputes and I have to say there are a lot of religious disputes that sound just made up to me but apparently were/are taken very seriously.

I guess we’re living through the retreat of journalism and the rise of “war monitors”? I get that it’s a way to describe the work of SOHR, but it still feels like a strange category to me…
