A Sri Lankan Tamil asylum seeker detained by the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) administration for nearly five years died by apparent suicide on 13 September in Mbabane, Eswatini’s largest city, according to local news reports and relatives of the deceased.

How Rwanda-backed M23 rebels finance their war in DR Congo (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rwanda-backed M23 rebels have embedded themselves into the local economy of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, using revenue from taxes and minerals to pay fighters, maintain an administration, and consolidate territory.

Read excerpt
Norwegian People’s Aid will turn down millions in US government funding due to wide-reaching restrictions on reproductive health and equity, the mine action group announced, in a rare example of a humanitarian organisation publicly rejecting US cash. The decision could affect 40% of NPA’s de-mining budget and 1,700 jobs, and will have “major consequences” for the organisation, NPA said. Few humanitarian groups have spoken publicly about the so-called “global gag rules” since the Trump administra
