Excellent update on Haiti from my @CrisisGroup colleague @diego_darin
🛑 On Sunday, four Salvadoran soldiers serving with the Gang Suppression Force (@GSForceHaiti) in #Haiti came under attack.
Rescue operations are underway, and President @nayibbukele has issued an ultimatum to Haitian gangs. Here’s what we know and don’t know.

I told the @WSJ that Lana Nusseibeh's SG candidacy "marks a pivot point" in the race and "her team believes she will not face similar roadblocks" as the other candidates for a role that is "far less appealing but no less important" on the world stage.

🟠🟢🔵Taking stock of this year's UNGA, @CrisisGroup @MarieaSekijima, Esther Mano and @FortiD crunched numbers on the competing priorities of UN member states and what they mean. With @pkfranz we made the data come to life on a single interactive Equal Earth projection🗺️ ↓↓

I told @business that "Nusseibeh’s candidacy will send a jolt of lightning into a race that has gone on for some time without delivering a clear result"

This policy brief was written as part of a DCAF programme to mark the 25th anniversary of the adoption of #UNSCR1325.
And we are back up to seven SG candidates, for now…
#BREAKING: Lana Nusseibeh, minister of state for foreign affairs of Arab power and close US ally the UAE, told Reuters that she had enter the race to become the 10th United Nations secretary-general, promising to bring the global body's relevance to global diplomacy back.

As some #UNSC members call for UNMIK drawdown & fewer meetings on Kosovo we note
-UNMIK mandate is open-ended with no expiry & so will require a vetoable resolution to end
-Meeting 2x/year on Kosovo is mandated by 2019 president'l note & thus needs consensus of all 15 to change

Thanks to @gideonrachman from citing @CrisisGroup in this (rightly) worrying @FT piece.
We should note that we draw on the excellent @UCDP and @PRIOresearch for our headline figures on conflict trends.

The SG pool is down to six (for now)…

My first @CrisisGroup commentary:
How War is Reshaping #Iran’s Axis of Resistance
Three years of hostilities have transformed Tehran’s network of allies in the Middle East. The Islamic Republic is now relying more heavily on itself, while adapting its relationships with partners whose diminished military utility has not necessarily reduced its commitment to their protection.
