Replying to @KayaON959
@KayaON959 @PhemeloMotene after that 1hr, good that your interview with Sibongile Ndashe @ISLAfrica now is so sensible, so necessary and actually urgent. The irrationality, the lack of accountability - the failure of state institutions and agents at practically all levels.

📢 As world leaders take the stage at the United Nations General Assembly this International Day of Peace, let's pay attention to what happens off the podium. #UNGA81
📈 In 2025, military spending reached a record $2.9 trillion while the world's richest donor countries slashed aid by 23%, pleading financial scarcity.
💼 Budgets tell the truth. They reveal whose lives are protected, whose futures are funded, and whose suffering is deemed acceptable.
💔 You cannot bomb, blockade, occupy, starve, or extract your way to peace. It's time to #JustBeHuman oxfam.org.uk/oxfam-in-action…

.@AlMezanCenter has documented Israel’s crimes and defended Palestinian rights for decades, despite relentless attacks on Palestinian human rights defenders.
We stand in solidarity and share a commitment to human rights, accountability and Palestinian freedom.
Al-Mezan welcomes @btselem’s significant report “The Elimination Project.”
Its findings must compel the int'l community to act, to intervene, to end ethnic cleansing & genocide and to hold all perpetrators (ordered or planned) accountable.
