Smart read about the implications of #Assad’s fall on the political dynamics in #Libya: Assad’s Downfall Echoes Across the Mediterranean | Carnegie Endowment for International Peace carnegieendowment.org/middle-east/di…

With all that's going on in the Levant, we are rightfully focused on that but I'll go ahead and recommend books on other parts of the Arab region. Some book recommendations: "Burning Shores: Inside The Battle For The New Libya" it the best introduction to Libya post-2011

I only wrote two things this year but they were of cosmic significance (to me): a review of Janet Planet and a total eclipse of the heart nybooks.com/online/2024/08…

A few years ago, a UAE official “informed” me his country wasn’t sending arms into Libya, when we knew that it was. Also, there’s no reason why the administration can’t provide Congress with its assessment of whether the UAE is telling the truth today. This is a delaying tactic.

January 17, the date when McGurk promises to give Congress an assessment of whether the UAE is providing support to the RSF in Sudan - something he could provide now - is the last weekday of the Biden Administration.

Hopeful & pleased to end the most tumultuous year in my life sharing my recent publication,my 2nd book chapter,titled “Yearning for Freedom, Reclaiming Agency:The Emancipatory Strategies of Black Tunisians and Libyans”,where I delve into the migratory narratives of Black migrants

True; too many academics ignore this: "Research has become harder to read, especially in the humanities and social sciences...much of the general public suspects that some academics use gobbledygook to disguise the fact that they have nothing useful to say" -The Economist, 18/12

In my latest for Foreign Affairs, I examine why #Iran didn’t step in to prevent Assad’s downfall, the challenges Tehran faces as #Syria breaks away from its orbit, and how it might adapt to a post-Assad era 👇 foreignaffairs.com/syria/how-iran…

"إضافةً إلى العلاقات السياسة وتدفّقات الأسلحة، ارتبط الشرق الليبي بسورية عبر شبكات متينة ومتداخلة من التجارة غير المشروعة، شملت بيئتَين واسعتَين من الجريمة المنظّمة صبّ التفاعل بينهما في خدمة الطرفَين." Frederic Wehrey يناقش. carnegieendowment.org/middle-east/di…

Extraordinary New York Times Video investigation of mass atrocities in Sudan by the RSF militia, which is supported by the United Arab Emirates. Bravo to the video makers; it's brilliant. And sad that Pres. Biden still won't publicly speak out about the UAE role: nytimes.com/video/world/af…

“The genocide determination may also bring new scrutiny to the role of the United Arab Emirates, which has supplied the R.S.F. with smuggled weapons and powerful drones…” nytimes.com/2025/01/07/wor…

An excellent paper by Frederic Wehrey & Andrew Bonney on #Morocco’s climate #adaptation challenges despite renewable #energy advancements. They discuss the #climate vulnerability -governance nexus & the need for inclusion. A must read! Carnegie Endowment #MENA carnegieendowment.org/research/2025/…

Tunisia's vulnerability to climate change – evidenced by drought and dwindling water reserves – is worsened by Algeria's water policies and Saied's governance failures, which have deepened its dependence on Algerian food imports. #Tunisia #xborder carnegieendowment.org/research/2025/…

On Syria, a strategic opportunity of a lifetime that could be lost, and what the U.S. can do about it. My thoughts in today's The New York Times nytimes.com/2025/04/02/opi…

Eric Martin Bloomberg Frederic Wehrey said it best: “This is an administration that came to office promising an end to the forever wars... Now you have the administration going down the very same path as the Biden administration.” Stars and Stripes reposted the piece, no paywall: stripes.com/theaters/middl…

#Morocco's government is on a mission to tap into its renewable energy potential, but real climate adaptation needs more grassroots voices at the table! #RenewableEnergy #Climate @fwehrey & Andrew Bonney write: carnegieendowment.org/research/2025/…

I've been inside migrant prisons in both eastern and western Libya—each one a site of unspeakable horror. Trump's deportation plan is an act of astonishing cruelty. My comments for The New York Times: nytimes.com/2025/05/06/us/…
