The resilience of children is breathtaking. Just one year ago, the world met Habiba al-Askari, a three-year-old in Gaza fighting for her life. @JomanaCNN and @AbeerSalmanCNN's reporting resulted in Habiba's release from hell and her lifesaving medical evacuation to Jordan. Watch:

A year ago, the world met Habiba al-Askari, a three-year-old toddler in Gaza fighting for her life.
@JomanaCNN and @AbeerSalmanCNN's reporting resulted in Habiba's medical evacuation to Amman.
CNN returned to Jordan this year to reunite with little Habiba and her family.

How very very sad.
Marjane was a true artist and advocate for Iranian women and freedom.
She disrupted literature with her wildly successful autobiographical graphic novel, Persepolis.
AFP reports she died of sadness a year after losing her husband, the love of her life.
RIP
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Marjane Satrapi, the acclaimed Franco-Iranian artist, filmmaker, and author of the internationally celebrated graphic novel Persepolis who died at the age of 56.
Marjane Satrapi was a fearless voice for feminism, human rights, and freedom. Through her work and public engagement, she consistently advocated for women’s rights, standing in solidarity with the people of Iran and amplifying the message of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement on the global stage.
According to a statement from her family, Marjane Satrapi “died of sadness” a little more than a year after the passing of her husband, Mattias Ripa, a producer, actor, and screenwriter, who died on April 8, 2025.
Marjane Satrapi leaves behind a powerful cultural, artistic, and moral legacy. Her courage will continue to resonate far beyond her lifetime.

“They’re getting paid to carry out these attacks, not really understanding what it is that they’re doing and who they’re doing it for...”
Who is really behind the wave of anti-Semitic attacks across Europe and are the people carrying them out just the visible end of a much deeper operation?
@JomanaCNN has been investigating the networks, motives, and possible state-backed forces behind these attacks.

At 18, River Ahmad survived a Taliban ambush by smearing her period blood on her face and playing dead. Now she's pushing for the summit of Everest, trying to become the first Afghan woman to do it, writes @IamArwaDamon for @newlinesmag. newlinesmag.com/spotlight/an…
