Thunbawhla, a small village inhabited by the Daingnet (Thet-Kama) ethnic community in the border area of Taungpyo Letwae Subtownship, Maungdaw District, northern Arakan State, has endured storms, historical wounds, and hardship for generations. In late May 2026, the village faced a deeply painful series of incidents that left many residents traumatized. The events challenged local stability and trust among communities. Now, however, Thunbawhla is slowly trying to return to normal life, carrying a small light of hope through the silence.

Farmers and local communities in Visakhapatnam are protesting a massive $15 billion Google AI Data Centre project spearheaded by the Andhra Pradesh government ,Airtel and Raiden Infotech/Adani Group. Located across 600 acres in the Tarluvada, Adavivaram, and Rambilli regions, it is designed as India's largest hyperscale AI computing hub. The opposition stems from land displacement, environmental concerns, and alleged lack of transparency. Drivers of Local Opposition: Land Displacement: Local communities, notably Dalit farmers, are facing displacement from lands assigned to them years ago, sparking significant socio-economic concerns. Environmental Strain: Activist groups like the Human Rights Forum (HRF) warn that a 1-gigawatt (GW) facility will be highly energy and water-intensive. Critics argue this will deplete the groundwater in a climate-sensitive and water-stressed coastal region, and negatively impact the natural topography of the Madhurawada hills. Lack of Transparency: There is widespread frustration regarding opaque land-pooling acquisition mechanisms and the fast-tracked, B2-category environmental clearances. Civil rights groups are calling for comprehensive, cumulative Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) before construction continues. Recent Developments & Censorship Concerns: Groundbreaking: Despite the protests, top officials, including Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the mega-campus. Media Takedowns: Investigations highlighting the human and environmental impacts of the data centre faced suppression when Meta restricted viral videos covering the villagers' protests in India, following a government directive issued under the Information Technology Act.

This week started on a great note in Washington DC! My first series of meetings was with two visionary African leaders: H.E. @RobieKakonge, Ambassador of Uganda to Washington D.C., and H.E. @AmbMukantabana, Ambassador of Rwanda to the U.S. Our conversations centered on the deep-rooted legacy and evolving impact of the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) in both #Uganda and #Rwanda. From protecting the iconic mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park to fostering community-led conservation in the Kidepo and Murchison Falls regions, our success has always been anchored in a close partnership with national governments and #localcommunities. Beyond sharing updates on our current programs, this was an invaluable opportunity to listen. Engaging with Africa’s diplomatic representatives is essential to ensuring our conservation strategies remain aligned with the continent’s broader #development goals. We discussed how @AWF_Official can continue to provide robust support and expand our collaborative efforts to ensure that Africa's unique natural heritage remains a cornerstone of its economic and ecological future. Grateful for the insights and the shared commitment to advance conservation as a strong pillar for sustainable development in Africa.

Last week, we were pleased to welcome representatives from the Labour Party to the Drewitt-Barlow Stadium to see first-hand the work being done at Maldon & Tiptree FC, both on and off the pitch. The visit highlighted the club’s ongoing commitment to supporting the local community and working with partners who share those values. The Labour Party are very active in the local community trying to build their presence within our community more and more. We’re also delighted to confirm that representatives will be joining us again this Saturday 14th February, when we host Felixstowe & Walton, to present cheques to two fantastic local charities — CHESS Homeless and the Salvation Army — in recognition of the vital work they both do in our community. Any help you can offer these charities will go such a long way and we encourage you to help if you can. Everyone is struggling at the moment and it is hard to donate as much as we would like to do sometimes, so, give whatever you can. Anything you can spare will go to a good home. We’re proud to play our part in supporting causes that make a real difference locally and look forward to welcoming everyone back to the Drewitt-Barlow Stadium this weekend. #CHESSHomeless #SalvationArmy #CommunityPartnership #UpTheJammers #OneClub #MaldonAndTiptree #TheJammers #NonLeagueFootball #LabourParty #LabourInTheCommunity #CommunityFirst #WorkingTogether #LocalCommunities @UKLabour @EssexLabour @MaldonLabour @CHESSHomeless @SalvationArmyUK @MaldonTiptreeFC @IsthmianLeague @NonLeaguePaper
