You start a trade war. Then cry ‘foul’ when the country you’ve targeted retaliates (which is what happens in a trade war). And then you promise hell, fire and brimstone cos you’re not getting your way đŸ€·đŸ»â€â™‚ïž

⚫ Shipwreck off #Tunisia! We had to learn that the group in distress we alerted authorities about, shipwrecked. Only a few people survived, they were deported to the desert straight away. They tried to flee the unbearable situation in #Tunisia. Black lives matter, everywhere!

"Eritrea remains at the bottom of Reporters Without Borders' World Press Freedom Index, with a press that is now completely absent, and with journalists like #DawitIsaak, who is the longest-imprisoned journalist in the world without trial." rfi.fr/fr/monde/20250

An armed group in the city of Sabratha attacked two Sudanese workers. They struck a Sudanese man in the head with a pistol butt. At the same time, they shot another Sudanese man in the foot near the security school headquarters. No one intervened to offer assistance.

On the day of the endangered journalist think about Sudanese journalists like Emtithal. Think about all the journalists who risk their lives often for meager pay to report on hidden atrocities and corruption.

Think about imprisoned journalists in Eritrea imprisoned for decades without trial, ignored by the international community. Their families gathered to call on the government #érythréen and the international community to act. #EntendreLeurVoix raoulwallenbergcentre.org/fr/nouvelles/2

Ahead of World Press Freedom day It's refreshing to read such a mature attitude towards press criticism of politicians. Political & intellectual debate is not for the faint hearted. Rory Stewart's tweet demonstrates the difference between confidence and arrogance.
