We do not have an established communications line with our colleagues on the ground. We are not able to confirm their location & are extremely concerned for their wellbeing, and the wellbeing of all the displaced people sheltering in this area. No place is safe. No one is safe.

Incredible set of portraits at the National Portrait Gallery showing people whose lives were torn apart due to the #troubles in Northern Ireland. You can see the loss, the suffering, the dignity, the emptiness & the impact of #violence in their eyes.

Do we have the right leaders in place at international NGOs? 🗣️ Dylan Mathews, Peace Direct. #AmplifyLocal #Localisation

Small enough to fit in one room, the entire Peace Direct team busy building our new organisational strategy. Who would have thought it could be so much fun! #thisispeacebuilding #shiftthepower #peace

This is BIG. There cannot be any #peace without #justice, so this ruling, while long overdue, is nevertheless hugely significant.

💡"We’re imagining a world where no INGO implements" We're grateful to be mentioned (alongside our nine roles report!) in 'What is the future of the INGO?' from Devex: ow.ly/eoXI50SJ9WN And see our nine roles for intermediaries: ow.ly/fHZR50SJ9WM @dylan_mathews
