Amazing to see the level of commitment of #polio workers in #Pakistan.

While most of us take these things for granted, look at what they do to reach children in the most remote areas & give them a polio vaccine.

@akhbar

Inspiring photos of polio workers in Pakistan going literally the extra mile to reach kids living in remote mountainous areas.

أبطال.

I'm very honoured to recieve today from ex-president of France @fhollande the #ShifaGardiAward, during a Rudaw ceremony in Erbil.

Award is in memory of Shifa, brave female Kurdish reporter killed near Mosul 2yrs ago while reporting on ISIS.

May her legacy live forever.

@akhbar
It's an extra honour for me as a female reporter with Arab background that I receive #ShifaGardiAward from Kurdish tv network in Erbil.

Kurds suffered so much under ISIS. Important to show that ISIS ideology can't destroy Kurdish &Arab coexistence in fight against extremism.
The #ShifaGardiAward I was given today in #Erbil comes with a $15000 check. That's a lot of money.

I decided to dontate full amount to various projects in Kurdistan Iraq.

There are so many people in need! Many ISIS victims.

Soon I'll pick best charities. Will keep u posted.

When I first met @Baba_A_ in 2013 in magical #Timbuktu, I thought I'll never see him again.

But last night he was my guest here in Dubai. Over Lebanese food he told me stories about Mali &I told him about Beirut &Dubai.

Baba is a great journalist. Pls follow &support his work
At one point @Baba_A_ and I were the only two journalists in Timbuktu who spoke Arabic. So we developed a bond.

The Arabs of Timbuktu back then massively left the city for fear of being targeted after the start of the war to kick the Jihadists out.
One of the sad news I learned from @Baba_A_ is that the famous Khaira Arby has passed away. She was known as "The Nightingale of Timbuktu".

I met her in 2013 in Bamako. It was right after hearing that Jihadists might cut her tongue because she was a singer.

Rest In Peace. 💔

Shamima Begum has had her UK citizenship revoked by the British government.

Do you support this decision? 👇

@akhbar
Would #Bangladesh accept to take Shamima Begum?

She was radicalized afterall in the UK.
Is it true to say that many of you are against taking Western ISIS members back home to the West is the fear that they will be free soon since prison sentences are not high? Is that your main worry?

Okay lets do an India/Pakistan update

Pakistan have shot down 2 Indian jets, and have closed all airspace to commercial flights.

The escalation came a one day after the Indian Air Force bombed a "terrorist training camp" inside Pakistan.
Pakistan’s PM @ImranKhanPTI currently addressing the nation:

"We didn't take action earlier without assessing our own damage from Indian airstrikes...Two Indian MiGs that entered Pakistani airspace today after our retaliation were shot down. But where do we go from here?"
In direct breach of the Geneva Convention, an Indian Air Force pilot tied up and filmed by Pakistani captors

Let me tell you the story of Maya Academy. [thread]
I met Manjil & Bas in an event in GAA where they shared the story of Maya. Their passion & dedication was so inspiring that I promised to visit the school in Tanahun and find something to collaborate on.
Maya Universe Academy is a chain of private schools to improve access to affordable and quality education to children living in rural Nepal. It started with tents around 8 years ago. Today, it has over 400 students in 4 locations.

Tomorrow, 260,000 mainly female polio workers will start to vaccinate over 39 million kids across Pakistan. It's one of the most dangerous jobs in the world - more polio workers are killed annually (~100) than there are cases of polio (~30)
260,000 polio workers will go door-to-door in every village across Pakistan to reach 39m unvaccinated kids. They stop cars at checkpoints to check for unvaccinated kids. They carry refrigerated vaccines, where there's no electricity, across mountains by hand, donkey and canoe
Polio vaccination is a herculean effort, and to eradicate the disease, we have to reach every last child with 2 drops of cold-chained (refrigerated) vaccine. No matter where they live. Only two countries still have polio - Pakistan and Afghanistan. There were 30 cases in 2018

Do you remember who you were & how you spent your time before Trump?

I slept soundly at night knowing our country was in the hands of an intelligent, honorable, capable President. I never worried about what our President would say or do in the face of national tragedy or danger
It wasn’t always puppies and rainbows but I never worried about our relationship with our allies or our position in NATO or our commitment to clean energy and acceptance of climate change.
I never went to bed at night worried about what our President might tweet or do that would endanger national security or align the United States with hostile and dangerous foreign powers.

If we are to ditch the current education system & redesign it from scratch for #Pakistan w constrained resources & 22 million kids out of school & at least the same number getting sub par education, what r the questions u'd like to ask? Here is my list in no particular order. 1/
1. Are teachers needed? If they are, can we increase their effectiveness while increasing teacher:students ratio to say 1:200?

2. What is the cost break up of educating a child - infrastructure, salaries, utilities, books, etc? 2/
3. Why do v need 10-12 years of generalist education? Can it be shrunk to 3-5 years?

4. Can v replace generalist education in early years with disruptive solutions like Self Organized Learning Environments (SOLEs) where kids discover their interests driven by their curiosity? 3/

Went to Azraq Refugee Camp in Jordan today. Official population at 53,967, according to @UNHCR as of February 2018. All Syrian #refugees.

In many ways it was not what I expected.
First thing you notice is how remote the location is — some 100 kms east of Amman; 20 kms from Azraq town; 75 kms to Saudi Arabia; 255 kms to Iraq; and 90 kms to the Syrian border — from which its inhabitants fled.
At the same time, the harshness of the setting — a hardscrabble, sprawling 15 square km patch, scratched, etched and stretched out of endless rolling desert.

The perimeter was equally formidable, with security fencing, official patrols, check points and razor wire.
