The war in Sudan has resulted in the world’s largest humanitarian crisis, largest displacement crisis, and worst hunger crisis.

As POTUS heads to the Gulf, there's a real opportunity to end this war. @timep.bsky.social and a coalition of organizations underscore the urgency of this in a new letter⤵️
As POTUS heads to the Gulf, TIMEP joins a coalition of Sudanese and international partners in urging President Trump to engage the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar to end the war in Sudan.

MENA actors play a key role in fueling the war, and they're critical to ending it. timep.org/2025/05/13/j...

Saw AIDA at the Met and was impressed with SeokJong Baek, who stepped in at the last minute because Piotr Beczała got sick. But the most entertaining portion was @salmazohdi.bsky.social telling me they use the Grand March during graduation ceremonies in Egypt. Things you learn with a dramaturg!

Here it is! A Starter Pack for Middle East News

A couple things
1) Inclusion in this list should not be taken as an endorsement, this is to crystalize the MENA ecosystem so it can grow

2) Limit's 150, so if I missed you, hit me in the replies & I'll get you in the next one
