#Srebrenica Today, we remember those who perished 25 years ago and we stand with those who survived. We stand with them for truth, for justice, and for peace. Salaam Alaykum ICMP

Somehow Srebrenica feels particularly horrifying, I think because it happened in my lifetime. 8000 Muslim men and boys massacred. A campaign of genocide to wipe them from their lands. Tens of thousands of women raped - some kept in rape camps, others forced into brothels.

Just thinking about the NZ whanau who had a lovely family holiday and supported local businesses - tourism, restaurants etc. A beautiful family weekend away with an unforeseen tragic spiralling effect. Feel so sad for them, I hope they understand they are not to blame.

We began with 72 suspicious characters. After a tough, extended investigation for our expert sleuths, we're down to eight prime suspects. Take a look. Are there two culprits, or just one? Join us at WORD Christchurch for the final reveal! #yeahnoir #2020Ngaios Vanda Symon Dr Jacky Collins (Dr Noir)đź•· #NMPM #StillEuropean

So ridiculous. Donald must work on his Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Donald, Chill!

It has barely made headlines, but since the pandemic began, this tiny Islamic school in Delaware has served 1.3+ million meals to needy children. Yes, million. It's more than Delaware's largest school district. They serve 5,000+ meals per day, to any child who is hungry.

It’s always an honour to be a longlist judge in the Ngaio Marsh Awards. And a relief not to have to be the one who chooses the Best Novel from such an excellent longlist. If you are looking for your next read, choose one of these great reads! #yeahnoir #2022Ngaios
