Superb analysis on the background and regional motivations behind the horrors of Darfur and on "Sudan’s deadly divide: The RSF and SAF’s reign of terror" www.brookings.edu/articles/sud... Jeff Feltman showing both sides are guilty, but he in no way plays down the mass butchery of the RSF.

Discussing the Trump Gaza plan on Al Jazeera. While far from perfect, there are grounds for some optimism. Above all, it partly rectifies the disastrous mistake at the heart of the Abraham Accords: ignoring the Palestinians. x.com/VictorKattan...

Environmental degradation and #ClimateChange are worsening our global crises. From #ClimateSecurity in #Somalia to climate-focused #mediation in #Iraq, we integrate this awareness into our peace efforts. More on climate and conflict: berghof-foundation.org/themes/clima... #EarthDay2025

Thrilled to join the Board of this cutting-edge human rights organization. Probably never in its 6 decade history has its work been so important, in face of the most vicious and concerted assault on human rights, truth and dignity we've ever been up against.

"I have hope that the younger generation has embraced this cause in a way that the older generations have not yet done." Our @ajgilmour.bsky.social spoke with OX Magazine about centralising #ClimateChange in #peacebuilding and his latest book "The Burning Question": www.oxmag.co.uk/articles/and...

In this article, @financialtimes.com references our @ajgilmour.bsky.social's take on how a new class of "conflict renewables" can be created if the demand for critical minerals is accelerated without oversight. 👉: ft.com/content/5412...

Syrians deserve the chance to rebuild their polity and society on their own terms. Outside powers, who helped drive Syria’s immensely destructive war, now need to avoid destabilising interference and help Syrians remake their country for the better. www.crisisgroup.org/middle-east-...

"What sets this book apart [...] is its focus on the intersection of climate and conflict, a topic that has yet to receive the depth of inquiry it deserves." Read Prachi Lokhande's review of our @ajgilmour.bsky.social's book "The Burning Question" in International Affairs: lnkd.in/eMTQAJ2S

I have updated the starter pack with some more cool people who have joined, including @ajgilmour.bsky.social and @chloehadj.bsky.social
