Sami Zoughaib, Sami Atallah, Rana Habr and @monaharb.bsky.social for The Policy Initiative on the limited real import of Lebanese municipal elections, absent more transformative reform: www.thepolicyinitiative.org/article/deta...

The Policy Initiative - Why Elections don’t Matter until Municipalities are Radically Transformed

A month of voting won’t fix a thousand broken councils—Lebanon’s municipal elections will matter only after the municipalities themselves are radically transformed.

Yesterday, Egyptian activist Alaa Abdel Fattah turned 43 years old, marking his 11th birthday behind bars, away from his family and friends. May it be the last one apart from his loved ones. Thinking of him as he is held illegally in custody beyond the completion of his sentence. #FreeAlaa

I'm going to state the obvious. Israel does not have the right to maintain a colonial siege and occupation that subjugates an entire population. That should be the departure and central point of any broader and contextual discussion on Israel/Palestine.

Based on more than two dozen interviews with residents, officials & experts, as well as videos, social media posts & documents, Lousia Loveluck, Jan Ludwig, Sarah Dadouch & I recount the final days & hours leading up to disaster in Derna Libya www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/1...
