@TRobinsonNewEra Who is funding these NGOs?





German reporter @HelenalSophia’s courage is admirable. Reporting from such a dangerous crisis zone for Nius the way she did takes remarkable bravery. But she must have forgotten what happened to Lara Logan, then a CBS correspondent and former “60 Minutes” reporter, who was attacked on February 11, 2011, in Cairo’s Tahrir Square during the celebrations following Hosni Mubarak’s resignation by a mob of an estimated 300 local military-age men. While reporting live on location for CBS, she was violently separated from her crew, beaten, had her clothes torn off, was brutally sexually assaulted and, as she later described it, was “raped with their hands.” Let that sink in. During the attack by the local barbarians in Cairo, Lara Logan believed she was going to die. She was rescued only after what felt like an eternity by Egyptian women and soldiers. Her ordeal demonstrated how dangerous regions like these can be for white Western women and why such areas should effectively be considered no-go zones for them. Lara Logan’s case was extraordinarily serious and was extensively and rightly discussed internationally, including on @X, primarily as an example of the particular risks faced by white Western female reporters in Muslim-majority crisis zones and during mass protests such as those now taking place in Ceuta. That is why @JReichelt and @Nius should perhaps reconsider whether it would be wiser to send male reporters into such areas instead, or to deploy female reporters only with genuine personal security in order to prevent something even worse from happening. During the current Ceuta crisis and the massive influx, primarily of young military-age Moroccan and African men, this issue has therefore rightly resurfaced on @ElonMusk’s X and elsewhere in connection with videos of female reporters, their interviews on the ground and the generally high security risk, as the Spanish government, the Spanish military and the Spanish police unfortunately appear unable or unwilling to protect either their own citizens or international media representatives. Lara Logan herself has also commented on Ceuta recently, and she knows exactly what she’s talking about. Nor was she an isolated case. There have been many similar, though less well-known, incidents, such as that involving France 24 reporter Sonia Dridi, also in Tahrir Square a few years ago. Logan’s case, however, is by far the best known and the one most frequently cited in discussions like these. As a white Western female reporter, you unfortunately cannot be too careful in places like these.
