My appreciation to the Banyamulenge community in Bradford for inviting me last week to join their discussions on truth, justice, reconciliation, and addressing historical and current challenges impacting their community in South Kivu, the Eastern DRC, and worldwide.
Today, we honor the victims of the 1994 genocide in #Rwanda by calling upon states to uphold their #R2P populations at risk of atrocities today. As we also mark #R2P20 this year, we remind states that R2P provides a framework for prevention and response to these atrocities. #WeRemember #Kwibuka31

I continue to be appalled at the lack of accountability around the SLAPP case that targeted me. If I can get sued for saying a warlord sanctioned by the EU, UK, and US for his role in Wagner is involved with Wagner then can we really say there's any protection for journalists in the UK from SLAPPs?
Index on Censorship@indexoncensorship.org · 2y agoThe SRA discontinued @eliothiggins.bsky.social complaint against Discreet Law who represented the warlord Prigozhin. Too many questions remain, so that is why the UK Anti-SLAPP Coalition has written to the regulator. Read the letter here: antislapp.uk/2025/03/28/q... #stopSLAPPs 1/3

This is not neutral ‘peacekeeping’ that has anyway a bad reputation everywhere. Besides, when the West has been heavily arming Ukraine, Russia will understandably not accept Western boots on ground. No more than West accepting N.Korean & Iranian boots on other side. aje.io/ep3m8q

First time I've watched PMQs for a while. Won't be making that mistake again.
Following cuts to USAID, the scholarships of 82 Afghan women pursuing further education in Oman have been ended and they face returning to Afghanistan. I wrote to the Education Secretary urging her to work with UK universities to see if the students could continue their studies here.
