Ok, I think I’ve found a library who are interested in carrying out this digitization project. I won’t say too much until it’s confirmed, but now we need someone at the National Archives of Egypt to reach out to for a collaboration. If you’ve ever done research involving the…

36hrs later, still not a shred of evidence to suggest anyone was killed in #Jordan's strikes except for 8 civilians.
Detailed imagery from targeted sites doesn't align with descriptions made by #Jordan.
Here's hoping some investigative journalists uncover the real truth.

The Wayback Machine risks becoming collateral damage in the fight against AI, writes Internet Archive founder Brewster Kahle in The Atlantic.
Blocking the Internet Archive won’t stop AI companies from scraping the web. But it can undermine a vital resource for journalists, researchers, and anyone seeking information that has disappeared or changed.

This is why you apply pressure to and hold politicians accountable even if you support them. It’s your responsibility.

This is her climbing the Erez Crossing into the portion of Gaza Israel ethnically cleansed.
There is a growing number of Israeli Jews upset that Ben-Gvir isn't genocidal enough. Western media doesn't cover this, and pretends like Ben-Gvir is the far right.

You know how Brazil reversed deforestation.
It wasn’t a bunch of conservation tax incentives for farmers.

So Lana Nusseibeh is running purely off the back of her experience as UAE ambassador to the UN but repeatedly refuses to answer questions regarding her statements or actions regarding Sudan while she was Ambassador; just utterly ridiculous.
🇦🇪 NEW: Asked whether she would continue rejecting UN findings on the UAE’s role in fueling Sudan’s war if chosen to lead the United Nations, Lana Nusseibeh said questions about the UAE should be directed elsewhere.
During a UN town hall on Tuesday, Yona Diamond of the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights, confronted Nusseibeh over her repeated denials of UAE weapons and support to Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF), asking how she could lead an organization whose own findings she has rejected.
Nusseibeh, UAE’s Minister of State, responded that she had taken leave from her position as a UAE minister and declared: “I refer any questions about the UAE to the UAE representation.”
She then spent more than a minute outlining her commitment to ending Sudan’s war, calling it the “litmus test” for the next UN chief, without addressing her past denials or whether she accepted the UN’s findings.

Appointing this UAE diplomat as the next UN Secretary General would be a cruel insult to the people of Sudan, who are currently enduring a UAE-fueled genocide.

That’s why “mask off” moments don’t matter unless you make them matter. The United Stages government can write in plain English that it is fighting Iran on Israel’s behalf, and people will still try to 🙈🙉🙊

That American citizens are significantly less likely to receive disaster relief if they live in states that didn't vote for the regime in power should be treated as a major scandal.

The Egyptian economy is absolutely getting hammered by the cost of gas imports. Which is a really ridiculous situation considering how much of the country is a barren desert and one of the sunniest places on earth. Using gas for electricity under these conditions is very silly.
#Egypt - Foreign trade deficit surges 54.0% y/y to all-time high USD 8.0bn in July
- Imports jump 31% y/y driven by natural gas, pharmaceuticals, plastics, iron and steel, and non-monetary gold
- Exports edge up 1% y/y driven by petroleum products, garments, and plastics
- Trade deficit soars 49% y/y in Jan-Jul as imports jump due to gas and crude oil
- Egypt is highly dependent on gas imports; Iran war is major external shock
- Gas imports jump 76% y/y to USD 7.7bn in Jan-Jul due to weak domestic production amid strong demand for electricity

Old enough to remember when supporters of the dictatorship mounted a bloody coup (and yes, the administration I was in was wrong to not cut them off for doing so)
