The #M23 armed group has deported over 1,500 people from occupied eastern #DRCongo to #Rwanda. The forcible transfer of civilians is a war crime, and Rwanda’s control over the M23 makes it ultimately responsible for the group’s numerous abuses. Human Rights Watch hrw.org/news/2025/06/1…

About 437,000 school-age #Rohingya kids are stuck in refugee camps in Bangladesh. They're banned from going to schools outside, so most went to learning centers run by NGOs. Now those are closed, thanks to aid cuts by the US. Is there a way forward? 1/2 hrw.org/news/2025/06/2…

We shouldn't pretend that imposing sanctions on particular settlers or settler organizations is enough. The real "settler organization" is the Israeli government: Hagai El-Ad חגי אלעד حجاي إلعاد. irishtimes.com/opinion/2025/0…
