In brief Easter appearance, Pope Francis calls for Gaza ceasefire Pontiff had been increasingly vocal about Israel’s military campaign in Gaza before being hospitalised with pneumonia.

That this man used his last day on earth to call for a ceasefire and allowing access of humanitarian aid to Gaza is the biggest testament of his character. Respect and RIP, Jorge Mario Bergoglio. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/4/...

In #Niš today, #Serbia students proclaimed the "Students' Edict", about freedom, about justice, youth and dignity.
For four months now students have been protesting for #justice and against #corruption.

Processi per #criminidiguerra nella ex #Jugoslavia a 20 anni dall'inizio. Basteranno altri vent'anni per completare il lavoro?

It's amazing how authoritarian regimes that have been in place for years can so suddenly be driven from power. The horrors they inflict are real, but their stability is ultimately an illusion.

#Syria's rebuilding is a mind-bogging task.
Factories are in ruins, the economy doesn't work, apart from telecommunications. The regime lived on cash transfers and on revenues from from Captagon. The political economy of recovery is going to be key.

Yes person on the internet Syrians are aware that everything isn’t perfect and that there are challenges ahead. I think they didn’t need you to tell them that given that it’s been 5 decades of tyranny and no country ever emerged from tyranny without challenges ahead.
