I Knew Them: Song Kosal… The Girl from the Rice Fields | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Song Kosal was only six years old when her life changed forever. She was helping her mother plant rice along the Cambodian border when her foot struck a landmine left behind by war. The explosion tore apart her right leg, forcing doctors to amputate it above the knee. After long months of treatment, she returned to daily life without her leg and without the ability to attend school for a long period. She soon had to rely on a crutch, turning her daily walk to the distant school into a painful jo
International Day for Universal Access to Information: Accessible Knowledge as a Cornerstone of Disability Rights | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The International Day for Universal Access to Information, observed every year on September 28, reminds us that access to information is not a privilege granted selectively, but a fundamental human right.

It marked the loss of an exceptional epidemiologist, teacher, mentor, and visionary, but also the departure of a generous human being whose ideas reached far beyond his institution and country. My connection with Ron began through correspondence and shared work. Over time, what stayed with me was not only the scope
I Knew Them: Nabil Maleh, Filmmaker and Pioneer | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nabil Maleh was one of the pioneering figures of Syrian and Arab cinema, a filmmaker whose creative and human journey extended across more than four decades. He produced nearly 150 works, including feature films, short films, and documentaries. His cinema carried deep human and national concerns, especially in films connected to Palestine and in works that documented the transformations of Syrian society. For Maleh, the image was never just a tool of artistic expression. It was a space for refle
