(string: beg) 19 anos atrás, um carro-bomba com 1-tn TNT mudou a minha vida. Na #ONU onde trabalhava no #Iraque, foi morto meu marido #SergioVieiradeMello e 21 amigos. Até hoje, nenhum tribunal tem nos oferecido respostas:Por quê? Porque a #ONU é imune à processos judiciais.
(string)Ironicamente,#Sergio era Chefe máximo da #ONU em #DireitosHumanos. Os sobreviventes do atentado gostariam de saber por que a imunidade não foi suspensa para oferecer justiça. Não estamos sozinhos:muitos são os que sofriram abuso p/ imunidade de organizações internacionais
Apos a repercussão do filme #Sergio da #Netflix, quis compartilhar um pouco sobre quem realmente era #SergioVieiradeMello, mas acima de tudo, narrar o que realmente aconteceu após o ataque de #Bagdá em 2003. Éramos uma família quando a bomba explodiu

@RussInCheshire I'm so sorry to hear about your mum. I must say, you're being remarkably stoic about it. I dare say you're in bits inside. Be kind to yourself. 😇

Meanwhile, don't worry about #TheWeekInTory. I've made some notes for you...
@RussInCheshire To start off #TheWeekInTory, some good news —possibly because it's got nothing to do with Tories.

Wafaa, our head of mission in #Yemen, is one of the #RealLifeHeroes to whom we wish to pay tribute.

A Yemeni citizen, she bears witness to the deteriorating humanitarian, health & economic situation of her country & helps her fellow citizens every day.

This year, #WorldHumanitarianDay falls during a global pandemic.

In #Yemen, lack of access & government restrictions mean communities, civil society & local NGOs are the front line responders.

"The situation in Yemen was made worse by #COVID19... Image

On World Humanitarian Day 2019 we honour the work of #WomenHumanitarians in crises throughout the world. We focus on the #unsung heroes, who have long been working on the front lines in their own communities in the most difficult terrains

#Thread
..from the war-wounded in Afghanistan, to the food insecurity in the Sahel, to those who have lost their homes and livelihoods in places such as Central African Republic, South Sudan, Syria and Yemen. #WorldHumanitarianDay
..and we salute the efforts of women aid workers from across the world, who rally to people in need.
#Women make up a large number of those who risk their own lives to save others. They are often the first to respond and the last to leave. #WorldHumanitarianDay
