যুদ্ধ যখন নিজেই হতক্লান্ত
পারছে না আর গুনতে শিশুর লাশ
যুদ্ধটাকে দেয় না তারা মরতে
যুদ্ধ সোনার ডিম পাড়া সেই হাঁস
আমি চাই না হতে এমন কোন দেশ
যারা যুদ্ধটাকে বাঁচিয়ে রাখার দলে
যুদ্ধ যখন নিজেই থামতে চায়
তারা বাঁচিয়ে রাখে যে কোন কৌশলে
আমি চাই না হতে এমন কোন জাত
যারা এই জগতে বাড়ায় লাশের ভীড়
তারা তারপর সেই লাশের সংখ্যা গুনে
নিজেরে কয় তারাই নাকি বীর www.youtube.com/channel/UCrf... #War

Just 2% of the UK’s asylum claims come from LGBTQIA+ people. But when the media reports on a small group of fraudulent claims, suspicion towards all LGBTQIA+ asylum seekers increases.
People seeking asylum are not the enemy Our current system is built on division, but we don’t have to let it divide us.
The UK government are investigating the BBC’s report that people are pretending to be LGBTQIA+ in order to seek asylum in the UK. Don’t let stories like this divide us.
Share to amplify the message: LGBTQIA+ asylum seekers are not the enemy.
A 10-day ceasefire has been announced in Lebanon following weeks of violence. Whilst Oxfam welcomes the news it's warning that a short-term halt to hostilities will do little to address the scale of need or allow people to safely return and rebuild their lives.

A good first step.
In Malda & Murshidabad, where villages have been displaced by Ganga and Padma, the demand for localised documentary continuity becomes especially punishing. Bhagabangola and Farakka reflect this vulnerability. Natural disaster begins to function as ground for exclusion. thewire.in/government/b...
