Ever-poignant reminder of the racist, violent coloniality of ethnostates. What we are seeing in Gaza happened in #lka 15 years prior. "War Victory Day" is coming up. What are we really celebrating?

On Feb 5th, Ports Authority officials told the Galle Face isso vadai vendors they couldn't operate their carts along the seafront anymore. They say it's gotten crowded with unauthorised vendors but vendors with passes who have sold there for decades are also blocked. (1/6) #lka

We are devastated by the UN Security Council’s failure to adopt a resolution demanding a ceasefire in Gaza—blocked by a solitary veto from the United States. “By vetoing this resolution, the US stands alone in casting its vote against humanity.” msf.org/msf-calls-us-v…

“We did what we could. Remember us.” These are words MSF Dr Mahmoud Abu Nujaila, who was killed in a hospital strike, wrote on a Gaza hospital whiteboard. Four of our colleagues have been killed. Many more have lost family members. It #MustStopNow.
Darsanth, a 14 year old boy from Batticaloa, accused by the Sri Lankan police of stealing, was found dead in his cell after having sustained multiple injuries at the reformatory school he was sent to. In 2023, Tamil children and youth are still paying with their lives.

I’m so tired of watching relentless attacks on civilians and healthcare - watching babies die due to hospitals losing power and not seeing one word of realistic evaluation or action from our world leaders. I’ve never been disappointed in global governance than I am now.

.@WHO has lost communication with its contacts in Al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza. As horrifying reports of the hospital facing repeated attacks continue to emerge, we assume our contacts joined tens of thousands of displaced people and are fleeing the area. ⬇️
Academics should be screaming right now, especially those who call themselves decolonial thinkers. The bombing of universities is a deliberate act to destroy the future of any Palestinians who survive the genocide. It is a deliberate act to force them to move elsewhere if they

HERO — thank you @CornelWest for stopping by the Gaza Solidarity Encampment University of Edinburgh, for your solidarity, energy and wisdom
The “world’s largest study on effect of shoes on feet” conducted in SL, supposedly led by researchers from @goteborgsuni, using kids despite stating it will be adults & post pics of kids and results( no scientific publication) on SM & uses it to sell shoes
Even if all necessary ethics were obtained from local authorities I still find it sad and ironic that for-profit companies can easily come to SL & research on our population to improve their products (with no stated benefits to the study participants) while science here stagnates
Even in their social media site they don’t acknowledge local partners but say the the generosity of people is “interesting” and are “high” and “excited” about meeting indigenous people with “real bows and arrows” ! 🙄 this sounds both childish and neocolonial 4/n
Today I found out that a foreign footwear company in collaboration with a podiatry related company collaborated to do research in Sri Lanka. 1/n
I hope all the Sri Lankans who are outraged about the assault on Gaza, reflect on what their own government did to Tamils exactly 15 years ago. As many as 169,796 people were massacred. Hospitals were bombed, men and women raped, children executed. It was a genocide.
We ran the largest ever study on MODERN SHOES👟 effect on FEET🦶🏻 Here's what we found during our month in Sri Lanka (pictured below with the Veddah people) Welcome to 'The Shoe Effect' 🧵
“The students don’t know what they’re talking about” The students:
f*** the day we had to show our children trapped under the rubble, crying for their parents, starving to death and shattered into pieces by Israeli bombs for the world to move.

Today, @EdinburghUni's Principal released a statement about the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at UoE, a student-led (@eu_jps) action demanding the uni divest from genocide and occupation. In it were blatant distortions about the uni's investments. 1/n ed.ac.uk/news/2024/old-…
Laptops are such a scam, what is the point of you being portable if, in 2 years time, you MUST BE TETHERED TO A WALL ALL THE DAMN TIME
global and social justice is not just about vast wealth inequality. stop thinking narrowly about inequality as being just about money. some people can do whatever they want while others are arbitrarily blown to bits. it’s inequality in freedoms.

University of Edinburgh solidarity encampment and “Anti colonial learning space”. Our university should listen to students and staff, divest from any complicity with Israel’s dispossession and ongoing annihilation of Palestinians, abide by ICJ the order, repair our Balfour legacy
Edinburgh University solidarity encampment:“We’ve taken over Old College to demand divestment and an end to the colonial legacy of Arthur Balfour.” Balfour was Edinburgh Chancellor when signed the 1917 declaration planting the seed for settler colonial dispossession in Palestine
