The EU promised Egypt €7.4 billion in exchange for human rights improvements. Sadly, we see no change so far.
Don't roll out the red carpet for Al-Sisi, but demand change during Wednesday's summit: No human rights improvements, no EU money.
That's our message to @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu 👇

The Egyptian regime is using @soltan’s father, Dr. Salah Soltan, as a hostage—denying him medical care and holding him in solitary confinement to punish Mohamed in exile.
This is part of Egypt’s escalating transnational repression.

🔴 At #HRC59, Samar Elhussieny said Egypt uses bureaucratic erasure to strip HRDs of legal existence and block their return, paralysis, not law. She called for the end of these abuses and for ensuring the right to return without fear.

Have not seen much on here on Sudan, so I'm amplifying this horrific report that shows the number who are killed is higher than previously estimated.
Adding here other writing to read to understand this war that has displaced over 11 million people; the highest displacement crisis globally. 🧵

More than 61,000 dead in Khartoum state alone, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine's Sudan Research Group finds: 26,000 of them killed as a direct result of the violence. Leading cause of death across Sudan is preventable disease and starvation.

When Tom Yorke wrote “bring down the government they don't speak for us” I think ironically it’s a universal saying that can be used by any citizen in any fucking country in this fucked up world. And I know how anarchistic this sounds but it’s the truth.🤷🏽♂️

While protests are taking place worldwide in support of the people in #Gaza, calling for #CeasefireNOW & #StopGazaGenocide,Western governments openly support #Israel's war crimes. The question is, do these governments truly represent their people? Or do they see us as sub-humans?
