Going to Central African Republic in order to investigate about new viruses and bacteria that might cause the next pandemic. Thanks to @ejcnet for this amazing grant! tinyurl.com/3sx8wxu2
In #Afghanistan, thousands of #lawyers have been working hard on establishing rule of law and women rights. That's why now they are threatened. German lawyers want to help, but the authorities make it difficult for them: shorturl.at/bACT8

Endlich! Im EU-Parlament gibt es eine fraktionsübergreifende Einigung, dass schnell eine Gruppe zur Überwachung von #Frontex eingerichtet wird. Die Gruppe soll die rechtswidrigen Pushback-Praktiken an den Außengrenzen untersuchen und strukturelle Probleme aufzeigen.
Locked up without heating or hot water: 7,500 people live in the #KaraTepe camp on #Lesvos, 37 percent of them children. 50 of them tried to kill each themselves last year. Don't miss my feature, 6.30pm, @dlfkultur: shorturl.at/mwIQ6 @ELIL_Greece @msf_de @cord_bruegmann
Journalists are not allowed to enter #Karatepe on Lesvos. NGOs have to sign not to tell anybody about the conditions and refugees who speak out are fearing consequences. cutt.ly/pjE5mqU. I made it to get insight. Monday, 18.30h, @dlfkultur @ErikMarquardt @cord_bruegmann
Why do Africans or Afro Americans often believe that #pharmaceutical companies and doctors from the west are causing more likely harm instead of cure? My feature about #medicalexperiments in the past and the effect today: dlf.de/489445 @DLF @juergenzimmerer @BaManuba
Why are people in Africa widely mistrusting pharmaceutical companies and doctors? This also has to do with #RobertKoch. Listen to my investigation on the 26th of December on @dlf @Dlf_Forschung: Dlf.de/489445.

Dass das Jahr 2020 enden wird und die Elendslager wie Moria noch nicht evakuiert sind, ist ein erbärmliches Ergebnis dieses erbärmlichen Jahres.
Wäre Asylpolitik ein Schulfach und heute Tag der Zeugnisausgabe; Europa würde sitzen bleiben und müsste das Jahr 2020 wiederholen.

Eine Operation am Herzen, die krank macht. Eine Frau erschiesst ihren Peiniger. Beim letzten Sufi-Meister von Kabul. Peru’s Bauern hüten einen Schatz. Auf der Suche nach Glück im sibirischen Boomtown Udatschny.

Very few deaths but a high number of antibodies: The #pandemic does not only seem to spare #africa because of a lack of testing. Scientists now study if the immun system of people is just stronger or better prepared for coronaviruses: tinyurl.com/y5sp7u5c

New tough rules for foreign media: In #Tanzania, media outlets now need a permission to broadcast foreign content. #elections are approaching... tinyurl.com/yxwpr5l2
Some weeks ago German minister #seehofer was still advocating for #menschenwürde #humandignity and now he doesn’t allow 300 refugees suffering in Greece in...
Horst #Seehofer hat Berlin nun offiziell das dort beschlossene Landesaufnahmeprogramm für 300 notleidende Geflüchtete, die in griechischen Elendslagern festsitzen, verboten. Aus »rechtlichen Gründen«. Soviel zu »Der wichtigste Wert ist die Menschenwürde«.

While implementing #COVID19 measures, Police in #Kenya has killed 15 people. Yet the media hasn't given the killings the coverage they warrant, writes @Kymcee for @IJNet. But the killing of #GeorgeFloyd in the U.S has provided Kenyan media with key lessons buff.ly/2E7DO4H
