    This story reminded me the account in ’s amazing book ‘Guest House for Young Widows’ about a husband and wife fighting about whether agreeing to an app’s terms and conditions is takfir.

    One of these is a Muslim prayer app with 98 million users

    To be clear: my comments were not about the appalling fate of the imprisoned environmentalists, one of whom is the cousin of my partner, or Kavous, an old family friend who was at my wedding. My point is that coverage has to put into the balance the context of US destabilisation.

    A story about Iran cannibalising its conservation movement, absent any political context about four years of clandestine sabotage and regime change instigation that has contributed to the "paranoia". Yawn. So disingenuous to obscure half the picture.

    Pointing to the multiple causes of privation and hunger in Syria can sometimes seem like a way to camouflage the one cause that interested Western governments are actually able to affect: sanctions.

    The growing incidence of hunger among Syrians is the result of the regime's decision to destroy the country to keep Assad in power, the Lebanese banking crisis, endemic corruption, COVID-19 economic slowdown & Western sanctions

    Many thanks to for organising such a fantastic conversation about CT and the future of WPS. Wonderful to peer into the future with this group of women!

    من الندوة التي نظمتها تحدثت عن تجربتها كدبلوماسية يمنية وعن وضع المرأة بعد انقلاب الحوثيين على السلطة. وتحدثت الكاتبة آزاده عن دور المنظمات الدولية وكيف تختزل بعضها دور المرأة في مناطق الصراع إلى إما ضحية أو صانعة سلام!

    Okay, , but at least it wasn’t a gothic overtone, which would fit just as well: The Undoing.

    Maybe polls are like an NYU class discussion where the liberal kids take up all the space and lurking in the back are dudes who disagree but won’t participate and seem isolated in that setting but still contemptuous of the others. Maybe they’re much of the country.

    For the 20th anniversary of the Women, Peace & Security agenda, a 1997 photo of girls in a Kurdish village in Turkey's east. Kurdish men used to taunt oppressors by saying: "Children are our nuclear bomb". I hope these girls had more choice in the matter than their mothers.
