Saudi Arabia, stop acting like you own Islam!
When Palestinians are being killed, where is your courage to stand up for justice? Yet, when it comes to ordinary people, you execute them in the name of Sharia.
Who gave you the authority to decide who deserves to live and who deserves to die in the name of Islam?
You do not own Islam, and you are not the sole authority on what it means to be Muslim. Islam belongs to its followers, not to a monarchy that claims the right to speak for every Muslim.

Thank you for pointing out this contradiction. But it’s also interesting how these national power usurpers somehow understand due process, recognize and hate impunity when someone else does it.

There is no greater evil than patriarchy! I understand it is our culture, but it is profoundly cruel to deny a mother the right to bury her own son because he was a King. This is why we will l not stop fighting for a world where women are accorded equal dignity, rights & humanity

A country that elected Donald Trump twice cannot consider itself the greatest nation on Earth.

Iran is not fighting this war only for Iran.
Understand that first. Absorb it. Because until you understand it, nothing else about this conflict makes sense.
Iran is fighting for the right of any nation on earth to exist outside the permission structure of Washington and Tel Aviv.
It is fighting for the principle that sovereignty is not something granted by empire, it is something inherent. And if it must be defended with blood, then blood is what gets spent.
Every country that has been sanctioned into poverty for daring to disagree.
Every government that has been coup'd out of existence for nationalizing its own resources.
Every leader who has been assassinated by a drone because he refused to make himself useful to someone else's agenda.
Every people told that their choices are submission or destruction.
Iran is fighting for all of them.
You don't have to like the Iranian government to understand what's at stake.
You don't have to agree with every policy, every ideology, every internal decision.
That's not the point.
The point is that a country of 90 million people has looked at the most powerful military and financial empire in human history, and said: no.
Said it for forty-seven years.
Said it under sanctions that would have broken most nations.
Said it while being threatened with annihilation on a weekly basis by countries with actual nuclear weapons.
The question this war is really asking is not whether Iran survives.
The question is whether any country is allowed to survive on its own terms.
That question belongs to all of us.

No, that’s not fine… especially not with Israel having nuclear weapons. In an ideal world, maybe Iran shouldn’t and wouldn’t even be seeking nuclear weapons, but as reality stands, they absolutely need them as a deterrent. Furthermore, no one elected the US as the world police, not with its history with nukes nor its bias and total complicity in Israel’s crimes.

I renew my appeal for an end to the ongoing violence against the Palestinian civilian population in the West Bank, and I urgently call on the international community to work toward advancing the two-state solution, for a just and lasting peace.

NMG still closed. Sam Mugumya, Muwanga Kivumbi still missing. Male Mabirizi still detained. Counsel Lukwago's health failing in prison. Besigye and Hajji Obed held on dubious treason charges. Abductees untraced. Law Society president in exile. Selective prosecutions continue.
Oh Uganda, may God uphold thee. 🇺🇬 – at Kampala, Uganda

This is exactly what I have been trying to tell you people. You have to live in this country knowing what it actually is. A dysfunctional country where almost everything is broken. Stop watching shows set in functional countries and deciding to take up the lifestyle of someone in Stockholm.
Please, do not start jogging on the Northern Bypass at 5AM because the woman in the Netflix series jogs at 5AM. Her country has lights, working police response, ambulances that arrive, and sections designed for human beings. Yours has potholes, darkness, and a government that will not miss you when you die.
In a dysfunctional country, security is not guaranteed and nobody will be held responsible for your death, even when keeping you alive was technically their job. So you have to build your own systems. You have to become your own safety plan. Move through life like the country is quietly working against you, because in many practical ways, it is.
Do not drive at 180 km/h, please. Not on the rotten roads, for obvious reasons, and not on the few decent ones either, because the moment something goes wrong, your odds of surviving are slim. The hospital without drugs is far, the ambulance does not have fuel and wait, even the doctors are on strike! Drive like the next vehicle on the road is a mad man under the influence, because honestly, more often than you think, it actually is.
Avoid getting sick. Sleep under a mosquito net. Take only boiled water. Wash your hands often. Take vitamins if you can afford them. You want to ask me why? Well, in this country, even a small illness can take you out because the health system is held together by prayers and a few overworked intern doctors and nurses. Please, do not gamble with your body.
When you go to party at night, leave with enough money for an Uber back home. Or just do not stay out too late too often. The streets after midnight in this city are not the streets you knew at noon. They belong to other people now and they are not too friendly.
When you have children, have a number you can realistically protect and provide for, even on your worst day. The argument of “I can afford” works perfectly in a country with safety nets. In ours, your ability to afford can vanish in a single week, with a single illness, a single political shift, a single bad season. It is not up to you but we seem to forget that many times.
Cheat the curse of this country. Do not give it easy openings. Live like you know exactly where you live. Live like the country has issued no promises and is keeping none. This is the wisdom you will need to survive an extra day.
It is genuinely sad that we keep losing young people like this. So much potential, so much warmth, gone because the basic conditions of a normal life are not available here. My condolences to you and to your friend’s family.
May the rest of us learn from this, painful as it is to admit that learning from death is now part of how we survive.
