Funny how there's a pretty consistent editorial campaign aimed at getting Ireland to "pull our weight" in Europe's defence, but there isn't one asking us to pull our weight in addressing our fair share of climate emissions #spéirgorm

What's needed is far more, but saying this much is better than nothing. It's really sad that even at this late hour ANY statement is welcome, but let's be real here. This is a genocide, not a catastrophe. The perpetrators (and allies) should be named. Is this the best we can do? Even now? 💔

IMO Statement on Gaza
“The deliberate obstruction of humanitarian aid and targeting of aid sites is a violation of International Humanitarian Law".
Expresses its deepest solidarity with healthcare workers in Gaza
 

The Irish Medical Organisation (IMO) is gravely concerned with the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, where civilians, particularly children, are facing extreme levels of starvation, displacement, and violence. The situation is intolerable and cannot be alleviated without urgent international action.

The United Nations (UN) has reported that the worst-case scenario of famine is now unfolding in the Gaza Strip and mounting evidence shows that widespread starvation, malnutrition, and disease are driving a rise in hunger-related deaths.   

Healthcare workers are among those starving, even while striving to treat the wounded and care for communities under appalling conditions.

What is needed in Gaza is the full and immediate lifting of all barriers to humanitarian aid. Aid must be allowed to flow safely and freely through non-partisan and trusted international partners such as the UN. The deliberate obstruction of humanitarian aid and targeting of aid sites is a gross violation of the Geneva Conventions and their protocols.

The health system in Gaza has collapsed. Doctors are being forced to deliver care in conditions that defy belief. They are under constant threat, without adequate equipment, and often without electricity or clean water. Many of our medical colleagues have been injured or killed in the course of their work. The IMO expresses its deepest solidarity with healthcare workers in Gaza and their families and salutes their courage and commitment to their work.

International humanitarian law must be respected and enforced. We urge the Irish Government and the European Union to take immediate and decisive action to protect civilians in Gaza and ensure access to food, water, shelter, and medical care. These are fundamental human rights.

Diplomats: We dedicated our professional lives to upholding and promoting core European values and international law, building the reputation of the European Union and defending the interests of its peoples. Those interests and that reputation are now in serious jeopardy as a result of EU inaction.

The soul recovers radical innocence ... You can, though every face should scowl And every windy quarter howl Or every bellows burst, be happy still. May your soul always keep its radical innocence. Welcome to the world Zaki.

Neo-colonialism at work Some of the same parties behind a genocide (2 concurrently for some) and "worst humanitarian crisis on record" are going to do what? Altruistically intervene to achieve peace and prosperity for Sudan? Call me a skeptic...

Senior international officials are gathering in London aiming to chart a pathway to peace for Sudan on the second anniversary of its brutal civil conflict, but without the presence of the warring parties.

Today's thread is for #booksky -- 3 Sudanese writers to introduce you to #Sudan's literary heritage! 1. Tayeb Salih: THE name in Sudanese literature, Sudan's most known writer. Also dubbed "genius of the modern Arabic novel". His novels reflect the reality of rural life in Sudan's Northern State.

Cover of Tayeb Salih's most famous novel, Season of Migration to the North. 

The top half of the cover shows the title of the book (left), while on the right is a map of London with Big Ben in the background. 

The bottom half shows a map of Sudan, with various images superimposed, like a mosque minaret, a man riding a camel, a pyramid and a knife, Black and white photo of Tayeb Salih.

"Any one of these events occurring as an isolated incident is a matter of concern. But the fact that all of the aforementioned events occurred over the course of a week forming part of a pattern that threatens the democratic process of the State is deeply alarming." A very worrying moment indeed.

Who does this government serve? Protest crackdowns and neutrality debates spark outrage

A speaking rights row, moves away from neutrality, and garda action against anti-war protesters are all signs of a worrying trend for democracy
