🧭"Far-right riots are shining a light on the unequal application of anti-protest laws passed by the Conservatives & pressed on by Labour"- @HRAllen. 🧭It’s unnerving to know even our more peaceful civil protests are under threat from ominous legislation. theprisma.co.uk/2024/08/19/p…

So this is what #Labour are suspending a parliamentary candidate for? This isn't antisemitism? This is anti-Israel. Big difference. It's a fair take when you see the blissful ignorance of international outcry and law by Benjamin Netanyahu. What is going on?! #StarmersPurge

🇲🇰 Trapped in North Macedonia. Around 600,000 of North Macedonia's citizens won't be allowed to travel starting today as the passports not containing the country’s new name, Republic of North Macedonia, won't be valid anymore. The state authorities failed to issue new ones on time. According to the Minister of Interior "it is physically impossible to issue all the documents by the deadline". As part of the Prespa Agreement, North Macedonia has agreed to invalidate travel documents using its former name. This marks the end of a five-year transition period following the resolution of a name dispute with Greece.

PM Kurti's closing statement: Serbian tabloid front pages fantasize a revenge of Kosovo on Serbs. Yes, over 10,000 unarmed civilians have been killed. 20,000 women raped. But we are not going to take revenge. I want justice, and justice is justice by not being revenge.
"Sir, you don't have the floor anymore," the President of the UN Security Council tells Vucic as he starts shouting after Kosovo PM Kurti's closing statement.
