My fight for a fair world I will continue. That means I will continue to try to share information outside the narrative until fear, assumptions and total distorted images are brought back to an honest story. Migrants in Libya do not live in danger, no more or less than anyone else. Indeed, Libyans are more likely to have a harder time than migrants. Every year during Ramadan, there is a game program where vulnerable or special people get extra attention, along with a mountain of gifts and money. That could be firefighters, could be about poor from old downtown Tripoli or the displaced from elsewhere in the country. Only African migrants also get a visit from Abzi. Many who have been in Libya for years, coming from Niger, Sudan, Nigeria etc. Based on some quiz questions, one gets money and prizes. Experience shows that all help is welcome allowed and Abzi also helps. Either the questions are fun and you always win. These men were given knowledge questions about Libya. Libyan places, Libyan food. These men coming from different countries. Also moved around Libya, according to where there is work. They do not look fearful or like men who are in danger or think they are being trafficked. So why does Europe keep pushing the narrative that Libya is so dangerous? Why are they taking people who rescued people at sea and brought them to Libya to prison? Does that mean that no unpleasant experience is possible, absolutely yes it is possible. Like in any country in the world and just know that this also happens to Libyans and I never hear anyone talk about that #migrants #Libya #frames #communication #Europe #EU #ngos

Listen carefully: how comes Jordan, Egypt and Kuwait do not welcome Palestinian refugees or immigrants? Maybe the tendency to elect as representatives terrorist organizations such as Hamas, Black September or Hezbollah has something to do with these people not being welcome even in countries with arab islamic populations and rulers?

Why does no Arab country accept Palestinian refugees? When the Ukraine war started, The EU countries opened their borders, And accepted millions of Ukranian Refugees. This is the way the West thinks, The "Humanitarian Way" But Arab countries think differently. They don't care about humanitarian aid. Their questions are very simple: What would I gain from it? What am I risking for it? Think about it. From this perspective. If you just focus on these two questions, What reasons do Egypt and Jordan have, To open their borders and accept Gazan refugees? This is how the Middle East works. This way of thinking doesn't come in a vacuum. There's a history behind it. Just watch the Clip. If the West really wants to help the people of Gaza, They must put pressure on Egypt to open its border, And allow the few that managed to escape from Hamas, To have shelter in the Sinai Desert #FreeGazaFromHamas #HamasIsISIS #StandWithIsrael

THE PLAN AHEAD FOR GAZA [a post where everyone can disagree with something!] I would like to add my voice of opposition to this ridiculous plan that Gazan refugees should relocate to Europe. Israeli lawmakers are being as shortsighted as ever. SHORT TERM In the first place Gaza needs to be rebuilt under the temporary authority of friendly Arab governments or a mix of friendly Arab governments who can act as mentors to build up a functioning Palestinian civil service and institutions. MEDIUM TERM If and when a stable, peaceful and - hopefully democratic- Gazan Palestinian government is able to take the reins, it will do so. Arab governments will need to maintain security in Gaza until then. Refugees need to return to their homes in Gaza as permanent residents of permanent towns (not camps). Until Gaza is rebuilt Egypt should provide services in the Northern Sinai. It is insane that Europe should take in more asylum seekers when enormous Egypt is next door and of the same culture. LONG TERM In time there should be a two state solution whereby: a) Israelis and Palestinians have their own State and territory; b) but citizens can freely move and live within the entire land. If Gazan wants to move to Jaffa no problem, but he will be a Palestinian not an Israeli citizen. Vice-versa for Israelis who want to live in Hebron. c) Importantly Israel will retain full security control of the entire Israeli-Palestinian Federation and its borders. #Gaza #palestine #Israel

Another important lesson in the history of the Middle East and the complex reality that dictates it. Is it possible, just maybe, that things are a little more complicated than the photos spreaded by Hamas, and that the Palestinians are not so depressed and that Israel is not a cruel colonialist devil? Learn the reality and know the facts before you express a position on a subject you have no idea about. Learn and know the facts before you support people you have no idea about and what their what thier worldview is.

Why do Arab countries request that Israel allow the passage of humanitarian aid and cease-fires? After all, it does not make sense that a country like Egypt, which is concerned about the situation of the residents of Gaza, would want to leave them in poor conditions. The easiest way is to open its borders and take in the refugees. Real concern and assistance would come in the form of temporary refugee intake until the fighting ends. Why would a country like Egypt, that says it wants the best for Gazans, ask for help to come from a country that is at war with Gaza? The answer is simple, they will do everything for the Gazans to stay there. No Arab country will open its doors to refugees, because they know it will be the beginning of their end, and masses of terrorists in the service of Iran will enter their territory. The whole essence of humanitarian aid is to keep the Gazans in Gaza, there, far from them. As we say: far from the eye - close to the heart.

Israel sealed off the Gaza Strip, leaving 2.3 million people without food, water, medicine and fuel, while many parts of the enclave have been bombed to smithereens. Egypt’s Rafah crossing would have been the sole access into Gaza. But repeated Israeli airstrikes at the Palestinian side of the crossing have forced aid trucks to stop on the Egyptian side. Since half of Gaza’s population has been ordered by Israel to evacuate and move south, Egypt has refused to let in large numbers of Palestinians through the heavily fortified border. Although Isarel assured that they would be allowed to return once the war is over, Cairo isn’t convinced. Palestinians and Arab states know from the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, that Palestinians were expelled or forced to flee their homeland to neighbouring countries. They have not been allowed to return since – a major sticking point in the long defunct peace process. In 1948, Golda Meir declared: "The Jews should treat the remaining Arabs 'with civil and human equality', but 'it is not our job to worry about the return [of those who have fled]". Egypt is deeply mired in economic crisis, hosting some 9 million refugees – many from Sudan and the Horn of Africa. If hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were let in, they could become a permanent reality. Blinken may try to persuade Egypt to let in Palestinians with dual nationality. President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is pushing back at Israel’s efforts to make Egypt responsible for Palestinians in Gaza, which Cairo ruled between the 1948 and 1967 wars.

Sudan's humanitarian crisis has worsened due to ongoing armed conflict, with over three million people displaced and the risk of civil war looming. The conflict erupted between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), former allies turned adversaries. The situation has deteriorated rapidly, with significant impacts on infrastructure, food security, and access to essential services. The violence has also triggered a refugee crisis, with thousands seeking safety in neighboring countries. International efforts to broker peace have been unsuccessful thus far, and the urgent need for humanitarian assistance remains unmet. Key Points: 🔹Conflict between the SAF and RSF has pushed Sudan to the brink of civil war. 🔹The conflict worsened an already severe humanitarian crisis, with millions facing food insecurity and displacement. 🔹Over three million people have been newly displaced, including refugees fleeing to neighboring countries. 🔹Sudan's infrastructure has suffered significant damage, and disease outbreaks are a concern. 🔹Sudan's neighbors are grappling with accommodating the influx of refugees amid their own internal challenges. 🔹International organizations have been providing aid, but operations have been hindered by violence and looting. 🔹The humanitarian response remains underfunded, impeding efforts to address urgent needs. Sudan's humanitarian crisis demands immediate international attention and assistance. The escalating conflict, displacement, and infrastructure damage pose a severe threat to Sudan's population and regional stability. Urgent efforts are required to provide aid, address food insecurity, support refugee populations, and facilitate peace negotiations to prevent further deterioration of the situation.
Violence in Sudan has worsened an already precarious humanitarian situation, and while neighboring countries have taken in hundreds of thousands of refugees, experts say prolonged conflict could engulf the country in civil war and destabilize the region.
