This is wonderful news, but it also shows how easily administrations can intervene when there’s political will. I’ve heard of relatives of Moroccan players, even those holding Spanish passports, being denied entry to the U.S. They can act when they want to.
🚨 Heartwarming World Cup moment! After Cape Verde keeper Vozinha’s heroic MOTM display (7 saves in the historic 0-0 vs Spain), the US State Department is stepping in to help bring his mother, Ana Candida Évora, to the tournament. Visa and bond costs kept her away — now they’re actively assisting so she can watch her son live. ❤️🇨🇻 Secretary Marco Rubio urged officials to make it happen for the next match!

Donald Trump recalls meeting the President of Egypt: “He was in a hotel, and I met him, and we fell in love, deeply in love. He didn’t even wanna meet Hillary [Clinton], he said “you’re going to win”… We had great chemistry, and I stayed twice as long as I was supposed to”

I enjoy all the cultural sharing during these World Cup matches. Tonight, I’m in San Francisco and now watching a dozen Jordanian men smoking in front of a no smoking sign. I’m into it. Jordan v Austria at 9pm PT!

the fact that Sudanese people keep getting denied access & entry into countries that say they are "trying to help Sudan," but wont take in refugees, students or award winners coming for short stays tells you everything about their "help." taking in refugees is *actually* helping.

This news only increases my worry for Muammar. Who continues to be held in the same prison that this reported organ harvesting programme is reportedly being carried out. There is a lot more that the world could be doing to help force the release of those being held hostage by the militia
‼️The RSF is employing Colombian and Serbian rogue surgeons to harvest organs from amongst the thousand of prisoners it’s holding captive in Darfur as a means to generate revenue. There is no atrocity that you can imagine that this genocidal militia has not already be committed. Any future worth envisaging for Sudan requires the full dismantlement of the RSF.

Egypt’s stray dogs. Millions of them. Many people, myself included, have never had any problems, perhaps because dogs can sense who is a threat or who is afraid. Others, however, have been attacked by multiple territorial dogs, including someone I know recently. I struggle to find a solution to the problem. The only advice I can give is to try feeding the stray dogs in your neighborhood. They never forget kindness. I once patted a dog without even giving her any food. The next day, as I was walking down the same street, she came running up to me.

Across northern Africa, #UNHCR is turned into a mere service provider 1) In #Egypt it is being replaced by the state 2) The asylum law in #Algeria might have a similar outcome 3) The Mufti in #Libya wants UNHCR to be expelled 4) The #Tunisia gov prevents UNHCR from registrations
The bylaws for Egypt’s first ever asylum law were finally issued on Monday — a full year after the legal deadline for their completion. They lay out a nine month deadline for a new state committee to replace the UNHCR’s role in handling refugee application cases — a rush that a lawyer cautioned could leave refugees exposed and vulnerable. storage.googleapis.com/madam…

This report confirms what we’ve known for years: the UAE is continuing to provide robust support for the RSF in Sudan, enabling their horrific genocide. The U.S. needs to stop ignoring this and funneling weapons to the UAE anyway. bbc.com/news/articles/c1422n…
