Was just one comment made by the company running the Bibby Stockholm barge to staff.

Many European governments (Germany, UK, Sweden, Netherlands etc) move to hunt and suppress the [Eritrean] opposition group, Brigade N’Hamedu, under a tawdry cloak of deterring disorder. 1/6
If Brigade N’Hamedu were Russian opposition movements in Europe, we’d be seeing a flurry of solidarity speeches and support, not a concocted terrorismizability of a just fight against injustice.

Statement from @nrc_norway @NRC_Egeland
Sudan’s conflict has triggered the largest displacement crisis in the world with 11 mil+ uprooted within the country, & 3 mil outside it. An estimated 24 mil are in acute need of food, incl 1.5 mil "on the edge of famine."

Labour government [UK] appoints ex-police chief as new Border Security Commander while the PM heads to Italy to 'learn lessons' from a neo-fascist leader. It's more border right-winging, securitisation, militarisation & dehumanisation.
