Was on @bbcworldservice's Focus on Africa this week to discuss the latest developments in Libya — and how the country's fractious, fractured political class remains divided on almost everything except staying in power. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w1…


V sad to learn Charles Simic passed away this week. A supreme, and supremely humane, craftsman. RIP. theguardian.com/books/2023/jan…

Mon père, @ElkadiIhsane, vient d’être interpellé de chez lui par une brigade de Antar. Six hommes dans deux véhicules sont venus à 00.30 lui demander de les suivre immédiatement à la caserne de Antar. Le harcèlement se poursuit. #الصحافة_ليست_جريمة

Byson Kaula has passed away in hospital. He spent over two decades on death row, but was freed though Malawi's resentencing project. He then devoted himself to counselling and supporting former prisoners, and became a powerful advocate for abolition. May he now rest in peace. 🧡

"There are books that have literally made me as a writer, really important books, and only in the last 48 hours have I re-opened them to see how much I owed to those who translated them..." — Mark Haddon on #r4today #InternationalTranslationDay


On #r4today David Lammy repeats the line that Labour's 2019 GE result is "our worst since 1935". It is worth remembering Labour's 2019 vote share under Corbyn was higher than that achieved by Milliband in 2015 & Gordon Brown in 2010.

Shamima Begum has become the repository of Britain's self-mythology around the ‘dangers’ of having so many of 'them’ amongst 'us', writes Fatima Rajina. ceasefiremagazine.co.uk/girl-mirror-me…

My latest on Shamima Begum and aesthetics: “She is deployed as the hyper-individualised subject representative of the community she stems from, legitimating the dominant ideas that masses of Muslims are simply incapable of entering modernity.” ceasefiremagazine.co.uk/girl-mirror-me…
