And that's just my hoodie.
Good to see that this year's Fat Bear Week will coincide precisely with the high-level segment of #UNGA80! Time to unleash a fat bear in the @unGa hall!
In a sort of rehearsal for upcoming #UNGA80 interviews, I sat down with @TorresPages @NYU_JPI to talk about the state of the #UnitedNations last month. Video and transcript here 👇 jpinyu.com/2025/09/03/ric…
I interviewed @RichardGowan1, UN Director at @CrisisGroup, for @NYU_JPI. Ahead of #UNGA80, pessimism takes over among diplomats and UN staff. 🗣️ “The UN will be feeding fewer people, vaccinating fewer children, and protecting fewer refugees." jpinyu.com/2025/09/03/ric…
The US sunk a Venezuelan boat that it claims carried drugs. What is the US’s goal deploying destroyers and assault soldiers to the Caribbean? Is this an anti-drug operation or an attempt to topple Maduro? @CrisisGroup explains. crisisgroup.org/latin-america-…
"Despite the Trump admin’s willingness to use deadly force against alleged drug traffickers, it has neither the appetite nor arguably the ability to guarantee security in a post-Maduro Venezuela" Our @CrisisGroup latest on the debris after US strike. crisisgroup.org/latin-america-…
A must-read article by @MehretOkubay and @HilaryMatfess. #TigrayGenocide #TDF worldpoliticsreview.com/ethiopia-tigra…
Hungary’s fertility rate is 1.5.

Here, @CrisisGroup peers deep into a teetering #SouthSudan, where a tug of war over Kiir's succession, spiking violence, the raging war in #Sudan, and the dismantling of the 2018 peace deal all pose interlocking existential risks to the young country. crisisgroup.org/africa/horn-af…
Great to be in #Ljubljana for this discussion of the #UNSC (that is me on the left at the back).

While both the international system and international peacemaking are liable to grow more fragmented in the years ahead, parts of the post-Cold War international system can still provide useful backstops. crisisgroup.org/global/twiligh…
The UK, France and Germany have warned that unless Iran makes certain important concessions, they will initiate the multi-step snapback process by the end of the last week of August. Here’s what this means. crisisgroup.org/middle-east-no…
Washington may still hope a meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy could get to a deal. While the choreography may be far-fetched for now, the notion that a plausible deal exists is not. crisisgroup.org/europe-central…
Seeing a quote attributed to me that I never said - but not sure that there is much point litigating that minor detail.
U.S. refusal of #UNGA visas to #Palestinians is "one more sign of how the UN is a symbolic battlefield in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict" I tell @Adlamassoud @TheNationalNews. thenationalnews.com/news/2025/08/2…
🇲🇽 #Mexico 🇲🇽 @CrisisGroup's David Mora spoke to @biannagolodryga about the aftermath of drug kingpin Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada's detention, the split within the Sinaloa Cartel, and the violence that has engulfed Sinaloa after his arrest. edition.cnn.com/2025/08/28/Tv/…
I tell @columlynch @devex (behind a paywall) that "the Chinese may see financial issues as a rare area for cooperation with the U.S. at the UN." "I think both the two big payers would like to see their shares of assessed contributions shrink." devex.com/news/china-ram…
