Back in 2015, I visited #Haiti to work on my @DisasterCapFilm and especially the #Clinton-backed industrial park; locals making clothes for the US market and being paid little $. Important story by @karlazabs that details how it’s all gone wrong buzzfeednews.com/article/kar…

Assassination of #Haitian President is worrying sign of increasing chaos in the US-backed dictatorship. #Haiti deserves freedom from violence and #Washington, long seeing it as a client state. I investigated this in my @DisasterCapFilm theguardian.com/world/2021/j…

This is big and important news and vital to hold @riotinto to account. Having spent years investigating this issue, in my book Disaster Capitalism and @DisasterCapFilm, including time with now PNG MP Theonila Roka Matbob, bravo @Jubilee_AU @rightsagenda etc pushing for justice
#BREAKING. Today 156 Bougainville residents have filed a human rights complaint against @RioTinto over its devastating legacy of mine waste pollution on Bougainville. The company must now respond and address these urgent problems posed by its operations.

In our @DisasterCapFilm film, Theonila Roka Matbob is an inspiring young woman from #Bougainville pushing for justice. She’s just been elected to parliament, a rare victory for women there. Bravo rnz.co.nz/international/paci…

The fifth presidential vote in Bougainville is shaping as the most open ever.
It is also seen as a vitally important election because the new president will be leading negotiations on last year's referendum on independence from Papua New Guinea.

A new generation of Afghan women is moving to take up public and leadership roles.
The price is a daily barrage of abuse, and the fear that -- even before any power-sharing with Taliban -- the gains have remained too few, too shallow, and too fragile.

Important report on the legacy of #Bougainville #PNG that will be ignored by @RioTinto. Accountability is key. I investigated this place in my @VersoBooks #disastercapitalism title and @DisasterCapFilm
Three decades since a civil insurrection closed Rio Tinto's mine at Panguna on the island of Bougainville, the people left in its shadow live with a dangerous legacy of poisoned water, polluted fields, and a ruined river valley

Where did $1.14 billion in U.S. recovery aid go after the #Haitiearthquake ten years ago?

Such a powerful piece by @JacobKushner on 10 years since the devastating #Haiti earthquake, the utter failure of Western aid and our own Western culpability in the disaster. All journalists working in disaster zones should read this and reflect, hard nytimes.com/2020/01/11/opini…

Over the past decade Haitians have suffered a devastating earthquake, a failed reconstruction effort, and chronic political corruption. But resistance continues, and there are signs of hope.
