In this world, you’re either from a “first world” country and deserve all the sympathy and love that there is or you’re from a “third world” country where time and time again, the world will pretend you don’t exist.

the 10 crises the world must not look away from:
1. SUDAN
24.8 million people in need of humanitarian aid. a still-escalating war brings sudan to the top of the watchlist. fighting has more than doubled humanitarian needs in less than a year and displaced 6.6 million people- bringing the country to the brink of collapse. more people are internally displaced within sudan than in any other country on earth. in darfur, human rights groups have reported mass killings and forced displacement along ethnic lines.
2. PALESTINE
3.1 million people in need of humanitarian aid (gaza and the west bank). gaza enters 2024 as the deadliest place for civilians in the world. i*****i airstrikes and fighting have had a direct and devastating impact on civilians that will continue to grow as hostilities persist into early 2024, at least. with more than 18,700 palestinians killed, 85% of the population displaced, and over 60% of gaza's housing units destroyed, people living in gaza will struggle to recover and rebuild their lives long after the fighting ends.
3. SOUTH SUDAN
9 million people in need of humanitarian aid. the war across the border in sudan threatens to undermine south sudan's fragile economy and could add to political tensions in the run-up to the country's first-ever elections. meanwhile, an economic crisis and increased flooding have impacted families' ability to put food on the table. a predicted fifth year of flooding could also damage livelihoods and drive displacement.
4. BURKINA FASO
6.3 million people in need of humanitarian aid. as the burkinabè military struggles to contain armed groups, violence is rapidly growing and spreading across the country. roughly 50% of the country is now outside government control.
5. MYANMAR
18.6 million people in need of humanitarian aid. the conflict in myanmar has spread significantly since the military retook political power in 2021. 18.6 million people in myanmar are now in need of humanitarian assistance - nearly 19 times more than before the military takeover. myanmar has seen decades of conflict, but in oct. 2023, three major armed groups resumed clashes with the government. over 335,000 people have been newly displaced since the latest escalation began.
7. MALI
6.2 million people in need of humanitarian aid. dual security and economic crises are driving up civilian harm and humanitarian needs. conflict between the military government and armed groups will likely escalate.
8. SOMALIA
6.9 million people in need of humanitarian aid. somalia faces heightened conflict and climate risks after a record drought. more recently, widespread flooding has displaced more than 700,000 people and will likely continue into early 2024.
9. NIGER
4.5 million people in need of humanitarian aid. a coup in july 2023 triggered massive instability that risks a rapid worsening of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the country.
10. ETHIOPIA
20 million people in need of humanitarian aid. communities across the country are facing the twin threats of multiple conflicts and the likelihood of el niño-induced flooding. the nov. 2022 ceasefire between the government of ethiopia and the tigray people's liberation front (TPLF) continues to hold in northern ethiopia, but other conflicts, particularly in the central oromia region and in amhara in the northwest, are fueling humanitarian needs and raising the risk of a return to large-scale fighting.
11. DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO
25.4 million people in need of humanitarian aid. weak state capacity has exposed many congolese to one of the world's most protracted crises, driven by conflict, economic pressures, climate shocks and persistent disease outbreaks. now, a resumed offensive by the M23 armed group is driving up conflict and humanitarian needs. the country enters 2024 with 25.4 million people in need of humanitarian assistance - more than any other country on earth. the magnitude of the crisis has strained services, created high levels of food insecurity and fueled the spread of disease.

Zionists spread propaganda that all Islamists from countries dress like this:
Tumblr media
Say you're Islamophobic without saying you're Islamophobic
Tumblr media
Look what propaganda I saw from Zionists
They seriously believe it, I live in fucking Poland and I see that this shit has nothing to do with reality, yes, there are people who dress like this, but spreading the word that every Islamic country dresses like this is like saying that every Jew looks like this:
Tumblr media
I don't think I need to tell you how stupid this line of thinking is

AI generated photos rendered by Sharq Afrik (a visual project by Adam Omar and Ahmed Mekki)
“Before the Storm: Examining the Significance of Photo Studios and the Tradition of Physical Photo Albums
Since the invention of the camera, photography has consistently played a pivotal role in preserving moments and presenting them to both contemporary viewers and future generations. Reflecting on its historical context, during colonial times, photography was predominantly a lens held by outsiders. However, in the postcolonial and independent era, photo studios owned by Somalis or residents native to these lands took center stage. Postcolonial these studios provided a unique opportunity for people to capture themselves without the intrusion of colonial voyeurism.
This newfound ability to document oneself held great value, especially for those with family members living abroad. In an era when digital connectivity wasn't readily available, visiting a photo studio meant more than just a simple snapshot. It involved dressing up for the occasion, creating multiple copies of photographs, and sending them to absent family members. These photographs included names and dates, making them a cherished record of family history. They were often added to family albums, which were carefully passed down through generations.
With the assistance of AI, it's intriguing to contemplate what might have transpired if these photo studios had been preserved and continued to be an enduring tradition within Somali families. The preservation of such studios and the continued practice of maintaining physical photo albums could offer unique insights into the evolution of families, culture, and identity over generations.”

Sending death threats to wrestlers because of a scripted show when those same iwc fans refuse to have that same energy when it comes to tragedies such as palestine, sudan, somalia, congo, etc really shows their true colors!!
ya'll getting mad over a white man that already main evented WrestleMania and won back to back rumbles that the wwe is trying to purposefully make hotter (and also make us forget about the vince scandal) by all this rock shit (they were literally handing out cody rhodes signs before the show!!) instead of putting that same energy into things that actually matter.
like, be mad for cody all you want, but please get out of your bubble and realize sending death threats over a scripted show and not seeing how the world is unfolding right now just shows your privilege, and the iwc getting mad at sami for saying the truth (in a much kinder way that i would have) just shows their white privilege and true colors.
