November’s here! Just here to say once again, don’t stop talking about Palestine! Never stop till Palestine is free! That a ceasefire comes! That Gaza gets all the humanitarian aid it deserves! Be thankful that some of us are able to live comfortably while thousands are facing death and destruction! Not just in Palestine, but in other places too! Congo faces devastation from armed militias looking to do coltan mining for one example! Armenians are being pushed out by Azerbaijan with the support of Turkey! Please, let’s speak for all of them, as much as we can!
I recently reblogged a post stating frustration over how it seems situations like these seem to turn into fads to say without doing anything. I can go on and on about how sorry I am but that will not do anything productive unless I go out there and actually push for things myself!
So much is happening in the world! So many people are dying voiceless when there are people who can help! Who should help!
Let’s be their voices! Let their stories be heard! We have resources that they may not have right now! Utilize them!
Free Palestine! Stop the violence in Congo! Protect the Armenians!
Let’s keep fighting! 🇵🇸🇨🇩🇦🇲

To anyone interested in learning about Artsakh, its history and the struggle of Artsakhi Armenians for freedom and self determination, I suggest checking out Learn For Artsakh initiative (@/learn4artsakh on Instagram).They share a lot of information on these topics and spotlight the interconnection of violence inflicted on the indigenous groups in the region by the colonizing powers.
They also have an e-library with free pdfs of many books written by Armenians about Artsakh as well as literature about DR Congo, Sudan, Palestine and other nations experiencing genocide (scroll down to the "Libraries Against Genocide" section).

az*rbaijan has named one of the streets in Stepanakert, where 70000+ Armenians were living a monthe ago, after one of the architects of the Armenian Genocide (enver pasha). According to UN az*rbaijan only wants to "reintegrate" armenians and there's no pressure to leave Artsakh.

I dunno. I just want to make this post to let everyone going through oppression and genocide that I think about you every day. I think about ways I could help, anything, with the meager resources I have in money and power, and I feel like my chest is about to explode every time I see the unfathomable tragedies, or the small glimpses of hope in humanity. I felt like crying when I saw the video of that Egyptian man throwing oranges into aid trucks headed for Gaza.
I want you all to know you are loved. As precious human beings, worthy of a safe and happy life.
May you all have it. Now.

Nothing like seeing the Armenian Genocide tag trending and panicking because I ended up thinking there was another genocide on Armenians happening and then realizing that it's Armenian Genocide remembrance day-
Anyways...
Never forget the Armenian Genocide, and never forget the people who died.
We do remember the Armenians.

abu darwish mosque in amman, jordan. after being expelled from their homes by the circassian genocide throughout the 19th century, circassians fled or were deported en masse to the then-ottoman empire's territories in the middle east. jordan's circassian community in the mid-20th century was small but held their own - circassian immigrant mustafa hassan commissioned this mosque in 1961.
most of the construction was done by palestinians from the former village of ayn karim, and the mosque is located in the ashrafiyah neighborhood, a generally palestinian area of the city. after the 1948 nakba, many palestinian refugees settled in ashrafiyah, living in tents.

https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/armenias-pm-says-he-must-return-disputed-areas-azerbaijan-or-face-war-tass-2024-03-19/
TBILISI, March 19 (Reuters) - Armenia could face a war with Azerbaijan if it does not compromise with Baku and return four Azerbaijani villages it has held since the early 1990s, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said in a video published on Tuesday.
Pashinyan was speaking during a meeting on Monday with residents of border areas in northern Armenia's Tavush region, close to a string of deserted Azerbaijani villages that Yerevan has controlled since the early 1990s.
The four villages, which have been uninhabited for over 30 years, are of strategic value to Armenia as they straddle the main road between Yerevan and the Georgian border.
Azerbaijan has said the return of its lands, which also include several tiny enclaves entirely surrounded by Armenian territory, is a necessary precondition for a peace deal to end three decades of conflict over the region of Nagorno-Karabakh, which Baku's forces retook last September.
Russia's TASS state news agency quoted Pashinyan as telling residents in the video clip that was circulated by his government that failure to compromise over the disputed villages could lead to war with Azerbaijan "by the end of the week".
"I know how such a war would end," he added.
Yerevan suffered a major defeat last September when Baku's forces retook Nagorno-Karabakh in a lightning offensive, prompting almost all of that region's estimated 100,000 ethnic Armenians to flee to Armenia.
Though Karabakh is recognised internationally as Azerbaijani territory, the region's ethnic Armenians had enjoyed de facto independence from Baku since the war of the early 1990s.
PEACE TREATY
Baku and Yerevan have said they now want to sign a formal peace treaty, but talks have become bogged down in issues including demarcation of their 1,000 km (620 mile) shared border, which remains closed and heavily militarised.
Pashinyan has signalled in recent weeks that he is willing to return Azerbaijani land controlled by Armenia, and suggested rerouting Armenia's road network to avoid Azerbaijani territory.
Mainly Muslim Azerbaijan also continues to control areas internationally recognised as part of Christian Armenia.
Azeri President Ilham Aliyev said on Sunday his country was "closer than ever" to a peace with Armenia, in remarks made after holding talks with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg in Baku.
Stoltenberg held talks on Tuesday with Pashinyan in Armenia, which is nominally a Russian ally though its relations with Moscow have deteriorated in recent months over what Yerevan says is Russia's failure to protect it from Azerbaijan.
As a result, Armenia has pivoted its foreign policy towards the West, to Moscow's chagrin, with senior officials suggesting it might one day apply for European Union membership.
In a statement posted on Tuesday on the Telegram messaging app, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova suggested Yerevan's deepening ties with the West were the reason for Armenia having to make concessions to Azerbaijan.
