Today is my birthday! ✌️☺️
38 years of wild adventures. From battling ISIS in the heat of Raqqa, to fighting Russia along the Dnipro. Trips down the Congo River, dodging rebel groups in the African rainforest, working against Mugabe in Zimbabwe & looking for ancient cave paintings in Somalia.
A thread! ⤵️Image One of the greatest honours of my life has been serving Ukraine! 🇺🇦
Most people follow me because of the fighting but I didn't start my time as a soldier! Instead, I brought medical aid & helped train people in early 2022. Training 1500 people in TCCC & giving out medical packs. We saved lives!

WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN NOW SHAMIMA BEGUM HAS LOST HER APPEAL (thread) -
Let me begin by saying this is a good thing. The loss of citizenship is a deterrent to those considering going abroad to rape & kill. Shamima is a terrorist & a danger to the UK.
So what next? The UK must assist the brave people of Eastern Syria that defeated ISIS & now hold tens of thousands of dangerous prisoners. Unless action is taken now, Shamima Begum could escape from prison & justice. It is in the UKs interest to properly fund & support the SDF moving forward.
