Dubai is a jet-set influencer’s paradise.

It's also where convicted criminals, fugitives, and sanctioned individuals stash illicit wealth.

Coming soon: 70+ media outlets launch a global investigation of foreign property ownership in the emirate. #DubaiUnlocked

The banks and EFIU did their job, proposing a possible collaboration between Lukhele, the ANC's CFO, and King Mswati's brother-in-law to divert funds from an ANC election account. But what did law enforcement do?

NEW: Leaked #SwaziSecrets reveal the unexplored role of Eswatini, Africa's last absolute monarchy, as a possible conduit for suspicious money flows and how its weak anti-money laundering controls enable key figures to benefit from proximity to the king. icij.org/investigations…

#Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), Africa's last absolute monarchy, is at the forefront of the continent's white-collar crime.

Life is draining out of Gaza at terrifying speed.

One of the best things I’ve read since October 7th, and one of Mishra’s best essays over the years. Impossible to pluck out a line or two. Just read it: lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/…

In the novel “Night” by Holocaust survivor Eli Wiesel one of the most striking passages is about how Nazi soldiers threw scraps of food at crowds of starving Jews in concentration camps to make them fight. Anyone who is ok w this would have done nothing to stop the Holocaust.

These passive, contorted The New York Times headlines really are a running joke now.

Gross negligence on the part of the NYT. The George Polk Awards should revoke its recent award to the paper for its coverage of the war.

Really glad to see renowned South African journalists, commentators and others, pushing back against this lie. It is a lie Stephen Sackur. Where is this 'rise in anti-semitic incidents?' Or you mean support for civilians in Gaza? Why is that anti-semitic? Would love to see data.

Let history record that #SouthAfrica led the international community in fighting to give meaning to 'never again'....! The people of #Palestine also have a right to life. Amandla!!! ✊🏿 #ICJGenocideConvention

South Africa today is embodying the true meaning of “never again”

South Africa legal team's Adila Hassim CIJ_ICJ: “Genocides are never declared in advance, but this court has the benefit of the past 13 weeks of evidence that shows incontrovertibly a pattern of conduct & related intention that justifies a plausible claim of genocidal acts.”

The Nelson Mandela Foundation extends support to the South African legal team as they appear before the International Court of Justice today. Wishing them strength and success in their pursuit of truth, justice and peace. #CeasefireNow

'This is the first genocide in history whose victims are broadcasting their own destruction in real time.' Blinne Ni Ghralaigh KC

Now up Max du Plessis SC - addressing the rights sought to be protected: 'Palestinians in Gaza simply, but profoundly, are entitled to exist.'

Advocate Tembeka Ngcukaitobi relies on quotes and videos to prove genocidal intent by Israel. He says these quotes by Israeli leaders were an instruction to soldiers on the ground. #ICJ
