China’s Communist Party is waging a war on #Christianity - jailing pastors, forcing sinicization, and crushing any church that refuses Party supervision. Trump went straight to Xi and freed Zion Church founder Ezra Jin after nearly a year in detention. That’s leadership! Eight of his colleagues are still locked up. If Trump can free one, he can free them all. Confront the system, not just the symptoms. My latest piece in @dcexaminer washingtonexaminer.com/op-ed…

International justice has long struggled to reach victims. Increasingly, refugees themselves are carrying the possibility of justice across borders. My latest in @ArabNews: arab.news/g866y

When people flee war crimes, they do not leave the evidence behind. Refugees carry memories, documents, and testimonies that can enable justice through universal jurisdiction in host countries - turning displacement into a pathway for accountability. My latest in @arabnews arab.news/g866y

And people genuinely wonder why no one of actual substance enters UK politics anymore. When public service is reduced to ritual humiliation and low-grade theatre, the only people left applying are those with nothing else to lose - and then wonder why the country is run by third-rate mediocrities.
Vile scenes from the Commons Chamber as the monster that is Tony Vaughan (a labour MP of course) admits the utterly disgusting things he has done. ** Viewer Discretion Advised**

OPINION: The institutions created to respond to humanity’s gravest crimes cannot merely ask whether victims have been heard as witnesses. They must ask whether victims have been heard as participants in justice itself, writes @AzeemIbrahim arab.news/65jjq

Allowing refugees to work legally could sharply cut the cost of prolonged displacement while restoring their economic agency. The current system does the opposite. @arabnews: arabnews.com/opinion/the-ref…

Millions of refugees are kept dependent because host countries restrict their right to work. In an era of shrinking aid budgets, letting people earn a living may be one of the most valuable forms of assistance we can provide. My latest in @ArabNews: arabnews.com/opinion/the-ref…

Dr. Syed Sayeed, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon and MedGlobal volunteer who has served on medical missions in Gaza, Sudan, and Syria, shared the devastating realities of treating war-related injuries at the 2026 MedGlobal Conference. Drawing on his firsthand experience, Dr. Sayeed highlighted the growing complexity of injuries caused by modern warfare and the critical role of specialized surgical care in saving lives and helping patients recover. #MedGlobal #CollaborationForGood #GlobalHealth #HumanitarianMedicine

The nature of warfare is changing, and the consequences for civilians and humanitarian responders are becoming increasingly complex. At MedGlobal’s 2026 Conference, Dr. Azeem Ibrahim, OBE, highlighted the emerging challenges of modern warfare, where rapidly evolving technologies are reshaping conflicts and raising urgent questions about accountability, civilian protection, and humanitarian response. As the nature of conflict evolves, so must our approaches to protecting lives, safeguarding healthcare, and ensuring humanitarian principles are upheld. Because no matter how warfare changes, the responsibility to protect human life must remain constant. @AzeemIbrahim #MedGlobal #CollaborationForGood #HumanitarianAction #CivilianProtection #GlobalHealth

While NATO counts missiles in #Kaliningrad, Putin is using it to jam GPS, probe our thresholds and map how European societies fracture when the systems that keep them running go unreliable. From 3 to 36 spoofing antennas. This is the real front line. Ignore it at your peril. My piece in @MaceMagazine macemagazine.com/kaliningrad…

#Kaliningrad is Putin’s live lab for hybrid war. GPS spoofing antennas there jumped from 3 to 36 in a year, blanketing the Baltics and beyond. He’s not waiting for tanks - he’s stress-testing Europe’s infrastructure, air traffic, shipping and political will right now. Treat it like war or keep losing. @MaceMagazine macemagazine.com/kaliningrad…

Dictators don’t target churches because they’re weak. They target them because churches answer to something higher than the state. When a government decides where people can pray, what clergy can preach, and who can train the next generation of priests, the issue is no longer just religious freedom. It’s whether anything is allowed to exist outside the state’s control. My latest in @ChDaily_News: christiandaily.com/opinion/n…

Los dictadores temen a las instituciones que generan lealtad fuera del control del Estado. Las iglesias hacen exactamente eso. En Nicaragua, Ortega y Murillo han prohibido +28.000 procesiones cristianas y forzado al exilio a más de 300 religiosos. Buscan destruir la sociedad autónoma.

Dictators do not persecute Christians because they are weak. They persecute them because churches are the one institution that still answers to something higher than the state. In Nicaragua, Ortega has banned over 27,000 processions and forced hundreds of clergy into exile for refusing to submit. My latest piece in @ChDaily_News: christiandaily.com/opinion/n…
