“Cyprus is the scene of an unscrupulous land grab,” says researcher Theodosis Pipis, warning that the island could come under Israeli economic control in ways resembling the early stages of settler colonialism in Palestine. https://f.mtr.cool/qsuvqakabc

From Nepal to Indonesia and the Philippines, youth-led protests have erupted against corruption and political exclusion. A quieter connection runs through them: many demonstrators grew up while a parent worked abroad. https://f.mtr.cool/eijqjeghtg #Nepal

1On July 20, more than 200,000 people reportedly gathered in New Delhi. Police teargassed and beat marchers heading toward Parliament, but the crackdown only widened India’s largest student-youth protest in over a decade. https://f.mtr.cool/ymehwagxcc

On 30 May 2026 in Zvërnec, a masked private guard punched and kidnapped a protester in full view of police. The citizen was released only after public uproar. The scene helped ignite protests against land-grabbing and the sale of protected land to oligarchs.

Today, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey reaches cinemas. Before that release, Messenia had already felt the pressure that follows cinematic visibility: a fragile region of lagoons, olive groves, fortresses, and villages pushed further by heat, water stress, and luxury tourism.

FIFA has 211 member associations - more than the UN - and commands the attention of over six billion viewers. Global order is built not only at summits, but through shared spectacles and hosting rights. https://f.mtr.cool/nkdzegbpvj

Mustapha left The Gambia as his family could no longer find enough fish to sell. He survived the 11-day boat journey to Tenerife, then found work in Almería’s greenhouse - part of the system feeding cheap, year-round produce to western Europe. https://f.mtr.cool/gtrjikpsvm

1في ستينيات القرن العشرين، صُوِّرت مساجلة للزجّال اللبناني زين شعيب وبُثّت على التلفزيون. وبعد عقود عادت إلى الظهور على يوتيوب، وأُعيد توليفها على إيقاعات الهيب هوب والراب. هكذا يبدّل السرد العام شكله من دون أن يتلاشى.

After reaching millions on Le Iene, TÄRA released her debut EP Zefiro on Nakba Day and gave Italy a sound it still has no category for. Through Arab&B, she turns in-betweenness into voice, pride, and a refusal to stay silent on Palestine. https://f.mtr.cool/vkfwiusuhj #TÄRA

After being detained for 3.5 days on the Global Sumud Flotilla mission, Baki Goxhaj returned to Albania and stood at the protest in Pishë Poro-Nartë saying: “I left the barbed wire in occupied Palestine, and I found it in Zvërnec”.

Abu Calypse - Part 4 turns to environmental collapse through a darkly simple exchange: if wood becomes rarer than diamonds, forests will not be protected for life itself, but preserved as future profit. A comic series by the UntoldMag collective and Francesca Cogni. #Climate

In April 2026, Shkëlzen Gashi was arrested after an exhibition on crimes committed during the Kosovo War was cancelled. In Kosovo, the struggle over who gets to name violence, remember victims, and define the past continues to shape political life. https://f.mtr.cool/ayqfixpape

In 2025, Albania signed a multimillion-euro arms deal with Israeli defense companies including Elbit Systems. For a country still seeking its road to Brussels, military, diplomatic, and political alignment with Israel is part of the price of belonging.https://f.mtr.cool/gpqnqmxnvt

Blaming Kushner is easy. Alban Korca pushes the question back to Tirana: who opened the door, sold the coast as “development,” and treated Albania like property to be offered to investors? His answer is clear: Edi Rama. https://f.mtr.cool/akcnacjelg #Albania #Protest

“We can’t use words like genocide or apartheid.” In Diana Abbani’s text, war travels through panels, institutions, and the body itself: Beirut is reduced to metaphor, German memory is protected, and even a lawnmower in Berlin arrives as a drone. https://f.mtr.cool/ptzdspldvp #Lebanon

Currently, 90 people are held in Gjader - picked directly at sea, dumped in cells, and called “guests”. The camps force Albania to confront a brutal question: what does it mean to host on its own soil the violence so many Albanians once faced in Europe? https://f.mtr.cool/zcnoybrxbk

The Grand Egyptian Museum does not simply display history. Through scale, light, and choreographed movement, it turns heritage into authority and makes the state’s version of Egypt feel seamless, permanent, and beyond dispute. https://f.mtr.cool/hbtiabohft #Egypt  #Urbanism

In 2024 alone, Morocco imported 821,500 tonnes of European waste to be burned in cement kilns. European companies saved over $52 million by shipping it south instead of processing it at home, while communities near Casablanca breathed the smoke. @federicarossi.bsky.social @journalismfund.bsky.social

In Mexico, oil palm has reshaped land, labor, and ownership all at once - displacing traditional agriculture, pushing women into lower-income work, and exposing smallholder farmers in ejidos to land concentration and grabbing. https://f.mtr.cool/nkjnvgwbma #Mexico

In full view of the world, South Lebanon is being ethnically cleansed, its land chemically sterilized, and its ecosystems destroyed. The world, for the most part, has decided to look away: https://f.mtr.cool/yqtfpvagob By @walidhouri.bsky.social #Lebanon

Musk’s “make Star Trek real” pitch was never about utopia. It was “materialized science fiction”: stripping speculative worlds of their politics and repackaging them for generals, investors, and billionaire power grabs. #Technology https://f.mtr.cool/coxdcpngdb

To ask people to “prove they are human” in a world that still hesitates before saying “End the genocide in Gaza” is not a glitch. It is the logic of our time. Abu Calypse – Part III A new comic by the UntoldMag collective and Francesca Cogni. #UntoldMag #AbuCalypse #Gaza

Too many résumés, too little time - that was the promise. Instead, job seekers now have to decode invisible ATS systems, tailor themselves to unknown algorithms, and pass a machine before ever reaching a human. https://f.mtr.cool/pcvfgalebe #ATS #AI

On 21 April, EU governments voted to keep violating their own rules. Behind the language of procedure lies a political choice: to protect Israel from accountability, hollow out the meaning of human rights, and reduce Europe’s “values” to bitter irony. https://f.mtr.cool/ygobvzgskt

Abu Calypse is a comic series to reflect on our apocalyptic times. Calypse is a young, sharp girl in conversation with her father about the crises shaping our era: human rights, environment, politics, genocide, migration, gender and more.
