Coincidentally, our office @nighealthwatch framed my 10th blood donation last year in the office. I looked at this picture with humble spirits every day. Doing it again today for the 11th time with a smile.

Netanyahu's entire career for decades was based on finding an American president who would fight Iran on his behalf. And he did. And they both lost.

“The Pahlavi project is officially over.”
The Pahlavi project is officially over. It was never real to begin with, for a number of reasons, but now even the most committed fantasists should be able to admit that it is finished. Years ago, I talked about what a cowardly man the Shah was. His sister, Princess Ashraf, was always the much tougher character. But Reza Pahlavi has managed to do something I did not think was possible: he has made his father look like a towering figure. Almost like a true Iranian patriot. That is how low the bar has fallen. Now Reza Pahlavi, his aides, his key enablers, and his wife must face political, moral, and historical accountability for what they helped bring upon the great nation of Iran, and for how they unwittingly enabled the disastrous and criminal Islamic Republic.

Iran does not fight for money. Iran fights to defend Palestine, Lebanon, and the Palestinian cause. Iran fights to defend humanity, dignity, freedom, and justice. Iran fights on behalf of the entire world.

If war against Iran were possible, we would have done it already.

Every drop of donated blood holds the power to save a life & the simple act of giving can mean the difference between life & death for someone in urgent need. Today, we joined the Press Briefing organised by @NBSC_Abj to mark World Blood Donor Day 2026, themed: "One Drop of Humanity. Give Blood. Save Lives." #WorldBloodDonorDay #OneDropOfHumanity

Commitments made must be commitments kept. No ifs, no buts, no excuses. For the close deal ahead, there is no other way. You reap what you sow.

Obstetric fistula is preventable and is treatable. Access is the gap.

What’s the biggest barrier holding African journalists back right now? We hear opinions, but we need evidence. The ONE Campaign & Africa Health Watch are gathering insights across Africa.

Nigeria Health Watch is at the @GHS_conf in #KualaLumpur @KLCCConvention @AndrewNerlinger and @SaskiaPopescu welcomed the delegates and set the context of the convening. In a recorded message from #Bunia, @Chikwe_I shared an update on the response to the #Ebola outbreak. The support being provided includes strengthening the health system that will deliver basic health service e.g immunsation, maternal health, beyond the health emergency response From the opening plenary, no country handles health crises alone. @RD_WPRO mentioned that "global health security is built not by the strongest nations acting alone, but by all nations standing together". @mvankerkhove took delegates through the Hantavirus cruise ship outbreak which demonstrated how countries came together to contain the outbreak. Science & solidarity in action. And also on the Ebola outbreak in the #DRC, she mentioned how we keep pouring billions into response while prevention hardly gets any funding, reiterating how we need to shift our approach, moving away from the "cycle of panic and neglect" and to "think of health as defence." #GHS2026 #GlobalHealthSecurity

I went undercover & became a “verified prostitute” to expose pimps operating online brothels on Telegram. I discovered there is an underground network where misinformation are weaponised to promote prostitution, exploit and traffic women. Read my full findings 👇🏽
Thousands of Nigerians are members of Telegram groups linked to prostitution and misinformation. DUBAWA’s latest investigation uncovered 79 Telegram groups operating across Nigerian cities and universities, where leaked intimate videos of women are used to advertise prostitution and misinformation is spread to promote the practice. These groups host thousands of members and expose users to exploitation, extortion, and harmful false narratives. #Telegram #prostitution #NAPTIP #HumanTrafficking @nordicmodelnow @unwomenNG

To God we belong and to Him we shall return. With hearts believing in God's decree and destiny, we announce to the believers the passing of the great religious authority, a remnant of the righteous predecessors, His Eminence Grand Ayatollah Sheikh Muhammad Ishaq al-Fayyad (may his soul be sanctified), who passed away after a blessed life spent in the service of religion, knowledge, and the education of generations. We ask God Almighty to envelop him in His vast mercy, to gather him with Muhammad and the family of Muhammad (peace be upon them), and to grant patience and solace to the believers and his family.
