I couldn't believe it when Hollande organised this march ten years ago. It was as if the politicians there wanted to parody their glaring racism. They couldn't have made it clearer whose lives they value, and whose they don't.

When 12 people were k!lled in Charlie Hebdo attacks, World Leaders thronged to Paris for a Solidarity March. But no world leader has organised a march to protest killing more than 100,000 civilians, 30,000 children, 207 UN aid workers, and 171 journalists in Gaza.

My latest piece (co-authored):
Many Cubans put it succinctly: 10 years ago, there was hope. Now, there’s despair.
“You go on the street, and people’s smiles are fading,’’ said Adriana Heredia Sánchez, who owns a clothing store in Old Havana.

Ryan Grim@ryangrim
On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Obama normalizing relations with Cuba, we have an investigation into how that all unraveled. Also a funny bit in there: Trump's incoming director of OPM partied in Havana thanks to Obama's opening up
English
A decade ago, Barack Obama announced one of the biggest ever breakthroughs in US foreign policy. My latest piece looks at how and why US-Cuba “normalization” was smashed to pieces.

my latest piece:
“It’s much more lucrative, and much less hassle, to work in other parts of the world — even Mogadishu!” said the director of one European tour company. “It’s only a personal love for Cuba that keeps us bringing visitors to the island.”

“Whereas the Trump administration bragged about how its “maximum pressure” sanctions would cripple the island, the Biden administration has kept the core of the sanctions regime in place, but flat-out denies that it has anything to do with Cuba’s crises.”

“The U.S. Department of the Treasury blocks tankers that have delivered oil to Cuba, which drives up the island’s fuel costs, because Cuba has a limited pool of suppliers available to it.”

“Sphincter clenched, I handed over my passport.”
“Obama said: ‘It reminds me of some of the poorer places I’ve traveled to in Africa… It certainly doesn’t look like much of a threat to the United States either.’.”
