Remember her name: Aliya Rahman
Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.
It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

Russian terrorists attacked Kharkiv nonstop for 3 hours overnight — missiles, bombs, drones.
Energy infrastructure targeted at –20°C.
Now the city is forced to drain heating systems in more than 800 buildings to prevent pipes from bursting in homes with no heat.
Monsters.

Kyiv.
Morning after a massive russian attack.
The district where we live is mostly without heating or electricity.
According to the mayor, 1,170 residential high-rise buildings in Kyiv are without heat (we still have a minimal one, but no power).
-19 °C outside.
This is genocide.

Poverty is a serious issue that we care deeply about. But billionaires aren't responsible for it. The DRC has no billionaires, yet 75% of its population lives in extreme poverty.
We applaud billionaires like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet who have saved millions of lives with their charity.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot
It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
