So I guess it's official: I'm an staff foreign correspondent. Too many to thank, like & many many others for taking a chance on a two-bit fiddler. Excited for a new chapter at a great paper.

Shireen Abu Akleh was killed by Israeli Occupation Forces one year ago today. We investigated her killing with and found that an Israeli marksman intentionally and repeatedly targeted Shireen and her colleagues, then denied her first aid.

I wrote about the death of my friend Arman Soldin today for Tagesspiegel, but as the piece is in German here's the text in English.
Rest easy, brother.

One year ago today, American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was shot & killed by Israeli troops while wearing press credentials and reporting in the West Bank. I stand with those demanding justice and accountability for her death.

1/ Remembering Shireen Abu Akleh
On this day last year the world woke up to the dreadful news that renowned Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh had been killed by an Israeli sniper.
Shireen had been wearing a PRESS vest and was clearly recognisable as a journalist.

We lost today (right of pic). A brave and tenacious journalist + a helluva friend. I’ll never forget driving into Ukraine with him on the 2nd day of the invasion. My thoughts are with his family and those he inspired along his way 🙏 He was one of a kind.

I only met Arman a few times but he was always such a generous and complimentary colleague. Ya haram. A good man, and such a kind presence in the usually lousy world of war zones.

Arman was the kind of guy who saved hurt hedgehogs in war zones. He was an incredible and vibrant personality and a great journalist. We miss him. We are mourning him. Rest in peace twitter.com/ArmanSoldin/st…

Today marks World Press Freedom Day, and nearly a year since journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed.
“This wasn’t errant gunfire – this was deliberate targeting” by Israeli forces, reporter tells me, and forms “part of a pattern of impunity.”

Andrei, a 22-year-old photographer, told correspondent he feels caught in limbo — like so much about Transnistria, itself literally an in-between place.
“In Transnistria? We can’t say who we are,” he said. “It’s not a country.”

Glad this tweet has over a million views. The world should see the tone-deaf and inhumane responses of embassies that evacuated all their staff from #Sudan.
People are not asking for your help. They are rightfully demanding their passports to flee a war. How is this not a crime?

Dear Wasila, we deeply regret the current situation you're in. We were forced to close the embassy and evacuate our staff. Unfortunately, this means we can't get to your passport. We advise to apply for a new passport with your local authorities.

Given UK response to #Sudan, am reading more about the Ukraine Family Scheme, launched 5 days after the start of that war.
Today is day 15 of Sudan war.
