Myanmar’s food prices, Libya’s women cabinet ministers, and peace moves in the Sahel: The Cheat Sheet – The New Humanitarian

Our editors weekly take on humanitarian news, trends, and developments from around the globe.

Food and fuel prices are rising across Myanmar, posing a looming threat to food security as the violent fallout from the 1 February military coup continues, the UNs World Food Programme warns. Prices have spiked in northern Rakhine State in particular, including a 27 percent rise for cooking oil and a 33 percent jump for petrol. If these price trends continue, they will severely undermine the ability of the poorest and most vulnerable to put enough food on the family table, said Stephen Anderson, WFPs country director. The rising prices are also hitting communities hosting people displaced by the militarys conflict with theArakan Army, exacerbating tensions, an aid worker based in Rakhine told TNH.Prices of rice or cooking oil have jumped by 15 to 30 percent, the aid worker said, but day labour wages have flattened. High prices and blocked supply lines are also making it difficult to deliver aid in Myanmars other conflict zones. A widespread civil disobedience movement pushing back against the coup has paralysed the countrys banking system and affected the transportation sector, making it difficult or impossible to transfer money. Higher shipping prices, dwindling cash, and the dysfunctional financial sector could trigger panic buying in the coming weeks,WFP says. As of 18 March, more than 220 people have been killed and 2,200 arrested since the coup began, according to local rights monitors. Many were protesters shot and killed by security forces in what rights groups call an escalating bloodbath. Security forces have also occupied more than 60 schools and university campuses across the country, UN agencies and Save the Children said.

Libyas Government of National Accord (GNA) officially handed power over to a new interim government in Tripoli this week, the day after Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibehs cabinet was sworn in by the House of Representatives in the eastern city of Tobruk. Getting to this point has been a long and complicated UN-led process with multi-track negotiations and consultations, and the new leadership faces multiple challenges, including holding elections and restoring much-needed government services. It also needs to unite a country that has been torn apart recently by ayear-long war and one that has largely been in chaos since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi, helped by NATOs decision (10 years ago today) to intervene.The new cabinet containsfive women, including the ministers of foreign affairs and justice. Together they make up 15 percent of the leadership, not the 30 percent delegates to the UN process had promised. But many Libyan women are taking this as at least a step in the right direction. Read this for more on Libyas past and long road towards real peace.

It has been another bloody week in West Africas Sahel. Fifty-eight people were killed by gunmen on motorbikes in Nigers extremist-hit Tillabriregion, while at least 33 soldiers were killed across the border in Mali in an area where jihadists are also active. But theres room for some positive news too. In Burkina Faso, which borders both Mali and Niger, secret talks between security officials and jihadists have resulted in a makeshift ceasefire in parts of the country. And grassroots peace initiatives involving local communities, ethnic militias, and jihadist groups are also taking root in central Mali, which has been hit hard by conflict in recent years. Analysts say dialogue with jihadists can help reduce civilian suffering. But the idea faces strong opposition from France, which has thousands of troops stationed in the region and appears to see military operations as the only option. With terrorists, we do not discuss, President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview last year. We fight."

Apprehensions of asylum seekers and migrants at the southern US border have been steadily increasing since last May a trend many experts predicted as the pandemic exacerbates push factors in Mexico and Central America, and as the United States starts to move away from Trump administration policies that left many in danger. But the numbers might not be exactly what they seem. The United States has been summarily expelling people under a public health order since last March a policy continued by the Biden administration despite opposition from human rights groups and more than a third of those apprehended are repeat crossers. So whats really new? At the beginning of February, the United States carved out an exception to the expulsion policy for unaccompanied children, leading to a spike in minors entering the country, and it is struggling to provide adequate housing for the children. For now, the main concern is for the health, safety, and human rights of children in US custody. But in the longer term, if the perception of a border crisis takes root, the political fallout could jeopardise Bidens plans to roll back more of Trumps migration legacy and lead to growing humanitarian needs in shelters and cities in northern Mexico.

Ninety percent of EU citizens think it's "important" the union funds humanitarian aid, up slightly from 88 percent in 2016. The least supportive nation is Austria, and the most enthusiastic is Portugal. The numbers come from a survey of some 27,000 EU citizens released this week. The Irish are the most proud of the EU's humanitarian aid, which amounts to about three or four euros per EU taxpayer per year. About half of EU citizens surveyed said spending should stay the same, but 18 percent of Finns said the budget should be cut, and 60 percent of Romanians think it should go up. Three quarters like the aid spending to be coordinated by the bloc, while 22 percent say it's better spent by individual countries. The survey was released to coincide with a new EU humanitarian strategy and, if you havent read it already, our interview with EC humanitarian chief Janez Lenari about that triggered some strong reactions. One potentially interesting side note from the polling: TV is becoming less important as a source of news, dropping five percent since the last survey in 2016.

Presidential polls are set to open this weekend in Congo-Brazzaville, five years after a post-election conflict displaced tens of thousands of people. Wounds remain raw in the southern Pool region, where a previously dormant militia known as the Ninjas contested the 2016 re-election of long-time ruler Denis Sassou Nguesso. TNH was the first international media organisation granted access to Pool in late 2017 to document the toll of the conflict. Though authorities claim to have conducted a targeted offensive against the Ninjas, our correspondent found evidence of scorched-earth tactics. A ceasefire agreement was signed in December 2017, but Ninjas have criticised the government for failing to help them reintegrate into civilian life. While analysts say theres a small risk of violence ahead of the coming polls, only one outcome seems certain: another victory for Sassou Nguesso. After 36 years in power, he has been dubbed The Emperor by some of his fellow African leaders.

BRAZIL: As daily deaths from COVID-19 hit a new record here this week, a leading Brazilian health institute said hospitals and medical services were facing their biggest collapse in history. Indigenous people have been among the worst hit, with mortality rates more than double the national average. One of the latest victims was Aruka Juma, the last surviving member of the Juma tribe in Rondnia, where he likely caught the disease from loggers.

DATA BREACH: The email addresses and other personal data of 1.8 million Oxfam Australia supporters were hacked and put online, Bleeping Computer first reported in February. The database included some payment history and bank account details. Earlier this month, Oxfam warned supporters to watch out for scams and phishing attempts, saying it regretted the incident.

GREECE: A juvenile court on the island of Lesvos found two 18-year-old Afghans guilty of starting the fire that burned down the Moria refugee camp last September, sentencing them to five years in prison. Greece has also charged the father of a six-year-old Afghan boy who drowned crossing the Aegean from Turkey last year with child endangerment. If convicted, the father faces up to 10 years in prison.

HAITI: Haitian police officers stormed several police stations, freeing jailed colleagues accused of plotting a coup against President Jovenel Mose. The country has been gripped by escalating gang violence, kidnapping, and political unrest, which has had a knock-on effect to pandemic lockdown restrictions. UNICEF says immunisations have dropped by up to 40 percent, and some Haitians say theyre hesitant to get a jab against the coronavirus because they dont trust Moses leadership.

HEALTHCARE: Disruptions to health services from COVID-19 may have caused 239,000 additional child and maternal deaths in South Asia during 2020, according to a new UN study. The research estimated the impacts of service cuts or falling health access, such as sharp drops in childhood immunisations or the number of children treated for severe malnutrition.

PALESTINE: The first shipment of COVAX-provided COVID-19 vaccines bound for the West Bank and Gaza arrived this week, with more expected in several months. Israel, which is the global leader in vaccinations per capita, has come in for harsh criticism for not vaccinating most Palestinians living in the territories it occupies. In the last few weeks, it began inoculating Palestinians who work in Israel.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA: The Pacific nation is imposing lockdowns as surging coronavirus cases threaten to overwhelm a meagre health system, while vaccine imports are still weeks away. On 17 March, Australia announced it would donate 8,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine to target frontline health workers. Hospitals are reporting high infection rates among health workers and pregnant women.

YEMEN: An official from Yemens Houthi rebels has expressed deep regret over a 7 March fire in a Sanaa migration detention centre that killed at least 44 people. Houthi Deputy Foreign Minister Hussein al-Azi reportedly said the blaze was an accident; detainees told Human Rights Watch that Houthi forces launched unidentified projectiles to put down protests in the centre, starting the deadly fire.

The Syrian war has now entered its eleventh year. Over the past 10 years, fear and violence have forced at least 13 million Syrians to flee their homes, a number that is split almost evenly between refugees and those displaced inside the country. Only about 201,000 Syrian refugees have been given new starts through the UNs resettlement programme, although some have received residency in countries like Germany. But the vast majority of the 6.6 million registered Syrian refugees remain in limbo, with limited freedom of movement and restricted rights to work. Our weekend read is a timeline that walks you through the past decade of war and flight, year by year. Using interactive maps, photos, and archival TNH coverage, it shows how many people have been forced into exile and where theyve gone. But it goes beyond the numbers, looking at individual Syrians stories. Scrolling through from 2011 to 2021, a fuller picture of the long and brutal war and of the heavy toll it has taken on so many people emerges. These days, as global interest in Syria wanes, and the pandemic shutters many of the remaining open doors, refugees are facing growing pressure to return home. But the war is not fully over and Syrias economy has collapsed. For many, going back is not a viable option.

Dorian and Laura are retiring from hurricane duty, along with the entire Greek alphabet. Tropical cyclones in the Atlantic will no longer be named Dorian, Laura, Eta, or Iota: The official hurricane committee of the UNs World Meteorological Organization is retiring these monikers because of the death and destruction the 2019 and 2020 storms caused. They join a list of 93 names retired since 1953. The committee also announced itll stop naming storms using the Greek alphabet, saying they cause confusion when translated into other languages, and that theres too much focus on the rarity of the names rather than the impacts. Until now, Atlantic hurricanes were named after Greek letters only when the rotating list of 21 names was exhausted as was the case during last years record-breaking hurricane season, which produced 30 named storms. Scientists say climate change is making tropical cyclones more volatile and destructive. This years Atlantic hurricane season officially begins 1 June. The first name up: Ana.

Libyan-Tunisia fund for Libyan reconstruction being considered: Libyan-Tunisian Businessmen Council | – Libya Herald

By Sami Zaptia.

London, 20 March 2021:

Abdelhafid El Sakroufi, the head of the Supreme Council of Libyan Tunisian Businessmen (SCLTB), an organization that represents one group of Libyan and Tunisian business leaders, stated that the Council is working on a Tunisian-Libyan fund for the reconstruction of Libya, with Tunisian and Libyan funds, as well as international funds.

He indicated that boosting investment between Tunisia and Libya basically requires changing investment laws.

El-Sakroufi also said that Libya intends to recruit 3,000 Tunisian teachers and medical staff through international cooperation.

Speaking to Tunisian media Thursday, he was quoted by SCLTB as saying that the process for this recruitment has not yet been approved yet, and that it will be implemented through technical cooperation.

He said that the matter was not limited to teachers, but that the secondments included a number of medical workers, who are currently working under contracts in Libya or in the framework of medical convoys.

Unicef concerned over kids’ death by landmine in Libya – DTNEXT

New York:

"Unicef is deeply concerned over the death and injury of children due to an explosive remnant of war (ERW) at the Ain Zara area," Xinhua news agency quoted the UN agency as saying in a statement.

Unicef revealed that a 14-year-old child was killed by the landmine and three of his siblings aged between eight and 14 years old were injured and are now in the intensive care unit.

"Unicef, in close collaboration with the government authorities, including Libyan Mine Action Centre LIBMAC and UNMAS, is working to ensure that the injured children and their family received sufficient and quality victim assistance.

"Unicef continues to support the Mine Action community headed by LIBMAC with the support of UNMAS and other actors working in the area of Explosive ordinance risk education," the statement said.

The agency stressed the importance of increased awareness of the risks of explosive hazards to ensure that people living in areas that have seen conflict can go about their lives more safely.

The UN agency estimated that over half a million people, including 63,000 displaced people, 123,000 returnees, 145,000 non-displaced Libyans, 135,000 migrants and 40,000 refugees, are at risk of contamination.

"Unicef is concerned that incidents will increase, affecting children such as in this tragic and unfortunate incident," the statement said.

White Nationalist Who Met With Peter Thiel Admired Terroristic Literature – Southern Poverty Law Center

Kevin DeAnna who met with Thiel on the evening of July 29, 2016, in the midst of the 2016 election cycle was not merely a participant in a white supremacist subculture when he met Thiel but also was immersed in its most extreme elements, including literature admired by terrorists. Deanna wrote under the pseudonyms Gregory Hood and James Kirkpatrick over a decade for white nationalist publications such as VDARE and American Renaissance, as Hatewatch reported in a four-part series published in March 2020. He cited texts like SIEGE and used terminology drawn from such other books as The Turner Diaries in his work and in private conversation. The Turner Diaries, originally published in 1978, has influenced some of the most infamous acts of U.S. domestic terrorism, including the murder of Alan Berg in 1984 and the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. SIEGE, once an obscure neo-Nazi newsletter, has resurfaced in recent years as the preferred text of neo-Nazi terroristic organizations such as the now-defunct Atomwaffen Division.

DeAnna was also connected to people in the U.S. government. About six weeks prior to his meeting with Thiel, DeAnna discussed recruiting for a white nationalist group with State Department official Matthew Q. Gebert. Gebert, who used the pseudonym Coach Finstock online, recruited members for D.C. Helicopter Pilots a Virginia and Washington, D.C.-based organizing chapter of white nationalist organization The Right Stuff. Gebert was suspended from his job in the Bureau of Energy Resources, but the State Department has never clarified whether or not he is still being paid.

Hatewatch confirmed reporting first published in Buzzfeed suggesting Thiel met with DeAnna, using a cache of images provided by former Breitbart editor Katie McHugh, who has since renounced white nationalism. McHugh captured a picture of DeAnnas exchange with Thiel, as well as of several other emails, in August 2016. Hatewatch was able to compare a screenshot of one of these photos, given to us by McHugh in November 2018, with a series of cached images uploaded to her iCloud. Hatewatch has also been able to verify another email thread between DeAnna and his editors at VDARE, a white nationalist website where he wrote under the pseudonym James Kirkpatrick, discussing the meeting in the same manner.

Hatewatch reached out to Thiel, DeAnna, Gebert and several other figures mentioned in this article. All but one, VDARE editor Peter Brimelow, declined to comment. Brimelow told Hatewatch that he [didnt] have clear recollection of the events mentioned in an email and asked, Isnt it rather a long time ago? Hatewatch also reached out to both Facebook and Palantir, a data analytics firm co-founded by Thiel. Palantir declined to respond, and a spokesperson from Facebook declined to comment.

The images provided to Hatewatch show a series of messages between Thiel, DeAnna and Brendan Kissam. Kissam, according to BuzzFeed, is a former conservative activist who has produced videos for VDARE under a pseudonym. Archived posts from Kissams Facebook, which were provided to Hatewatch by a group of antifascist researchers known as the Anonymous Comrades Collective, showed him interacting with white nationalists such as Counter-Currents Greg Johnson and Millicent Willows an account that appears to belong to the white nationalist YouTuber Colin Robertson, who published videos under the pseudonym Millennial Woes. (Millicent Willows used the same logo as Robertsons Millennial Woes YouTube channel.) On Jan. 21, 2017, the same weekend as Trumps presidential inauguration, he posted a selfie with Richard Spencer, who lived near Washington, D.C., at the time.

Kissam introduced the two men over email on July 30, 2016 a few days after Thiel appeared at the Republican National Convention. The message used the subject line Right Wing Dinner Squad III. Though the intent is unclear, the subject line appears similar to a meme popular on the far right, Right Wing Death Squad. As a meme it refers to the history of authoritarian far-right dictatorships and their extrajudicial killings.

Kissam wrote that he had been looking forward to you guys getting to meet. Thiel then followed up with DeAnna individually, saying he really enjoyed meeting you last night and suggesting they meet up when Thiel was in Washington, D.C., next or whenever DeAnna was in SF which likely stood for San Francisco, where Thiel lived.

As Hatewatch has noted, DeAnna had been involved with far-right and, later, white nationalist organizations for 10 years at the time the email was exchanged with Thiel.

It is unclear who else was at the gathering. However, in another email referencing the meeting, DeAnnas editor at VDARE, Peter Brimelow, cited a few other possible attendees. Dated July 2, a little less than 30 days before Thiel, DeAnna and Kissam met, Brimelow chastised DeAnna for not keeping him abreast of Alt Right developments. He cited a forthcoming meeting with the Right Stuff, Ann Coulter, Thiel, etc. as an example.

DeAnna was one of numerous people who attempted to balance careers in mainstream institutions in and around Washington, D.C., with a secret life as a white nationalist organizer. In 2006, he founded a far-right student group, Youth for Western Civilization (YWC), while working at the right-wing Leadership Institute as a field representative. (Leadership Institute, which has provided training for a number of prominent right-wing figures in the past, denied any affiliation with YWC.) While head of YWC, DeAnna began writing under the bylines Gregory Hood and James Kirkpatrick on hate sites in 2008 and 2011, respectively. Over the course of the next 12 years, DeAnna wrote well over 1,700 articles for white nationalist outlets, including VDARE, the National Policy Institutes Radix Journal, American Renaissance, Counter-Currents and The Social Contract.

Kissam, for his part, was clearly aware of DeAnnas pseudonymous personas at the time he connected DeAnna to Thiel.

As McHugh recalled to Hatewatch, Kissam had attended an event where DeAnna was scheduled to speak as Gregory Hood a few months prior to his meeting with Thiel. She noted that both men were attendees at Counter-Currents inaugural New York Forum in May 2016. DeAnna, who had been a Counter-Currents contributor since 2011, was billed as one of the main speakers. McHugh, who attended the event with DeAnna, told Hatewatch that she met Kissam after the event. She noted that Kissam accompanied Counter-Currents publisher Greg Johnson, as well as other speakers, to a restaurant in the city after the speeches at the forum concluded.

DeAnna indulged deeper, more sinister currents within the white power movement as well.

DeAnnas work under the pseudonym Gregory Hood drew upon foundational white nationalist and neo-Nazi texts that have inspired numerous acts of domestic terrorism. As both Kirkpatrick and Hood, DeAnna frequently refers to a System often with a capital S, mirroring Turner Diaries author William Pierces own orthography. DeAnna, like Pierce, presents the System as both a governmental and nongovernmental coalition of minority groups set out to destroy whites.

Writing as Hood, DeAnna cited SIEGE, a collection of neo-Nazi James Masons writings, on numerous occasions. In 2013, years before the text was popularized by the neo-Nazi forum Iron March, DeAnna cited SIEGE in a Counter-Currents essay about the need to destroy the Republican Party. DeAnna wrote that Mason was correct in stating that white advocates must think of all white people everywhere as our army. The original post, published on Counter-Currents website on Jan. 31, 2013, linked to a part of the site where one could buy Masons tract for $20, plus shipping and handling.

McHugh, who dated DeAnna from 2013 to 2016, and again briefly in 2017, told Hatewatch that DeAnna owned a copy of SIEGE prior to its popularization by the neo-Nazi forum Iron March.

The bold, red lettering of SIEGE on the book spine is unmistakable. It is a heavy book, and DeAnna told me not to read it, she told Hatewatch.

Some of DeAnnas writing, such as an April 2016 essay in Radix Journal titled On LARPing, combined references to both The Turner Diaries and SIEGE.

Most of us dont do anything. . . . We dont take to the streets; we dont hang the traitors from lampposts; we dont revolt the same way any of our ancestors would, DeAnna wrote.

Unless youre not paying taxes, living outside the law, or in some form of war against the powers that be, youll be objectively helping the System keep going, whatever subversive thoughts you have within your own head. Hence, the radical (even by National Socialist standards) James Mason recommended either total war or dropping out of the System entirely, he continued.

The essay earned him the praise of at least one user on Iron March, an international neo-Nazi forum that birthed the terroristic neo-Nazi group Atomwaffen Division.

Gregory Hood is by far the closest writer to our views that [Radix Journal has], wrote one user, James Futurist, on Nov. 16, 2016.

DeAnna helped carry water for the more violent wing of the movement in other ways. The email thread between DeAnna and the Brimelows referring to his forthcoming meeting with Thiel contained a reference to a Gregory Hood article about Sacramento on AmRen. Here, Brimelow is referencing a piece penned by DeAnna under his Hood pseudonym about the battle of Sacramento a June 26, 2016, riot in Sacramento that broke out after members of the neo-Nazi Traditionalist Worker Party and Golden State Skinheads clashed with antifascist counterprotesters. As Hatewatch reported, the event resulted in 514 misdemeanor and 68 felony charges, and it involved over 100 people.

There is no doubt that it was the leftists who started the violence, but by most accounts, it was the TWP that finished it, DeAnna wrote on July 1, 2016, parroting the language used by TWPs leader Matthew Heimbach. DeAnna called TWP and GSSs event a legally sanctioned demonstration, and wrote, It is invariably violent or potentially violent leftists who attack white advocates who are demonstrating or meeting peacefully.

However, Heimbach who was not present at the event boasted at the time that we, referring the participants in the TWP and GSS event, sent six antifascist protesters to the hospital.

Around the same time he met with Thiel, DeAnna was invited to a white nationalist recruitment meeting by former State Department official Matthew Q. Gebert.

In June, a little less than two months before his post-RNC dinner with Thiel, DeAnna received an email from Gebert inviting him and McHugh to a gathering of what appeared to be members of the white nationalist group D.C. Helicopter Pilots. The group appeared to be largely active between 2016 and 2018.

Our nucleus (about 10 sharp and accomplished goys) will meet for dinner around 6 pm in Old Town, then head out to a few bars where some prospects from the Forum will join. If your plans fall through, wed be honored to host you and the lady as special (surprise) guests for dinner, or just grab a few drinks after, Gebert wrote from a Proton Mail account associated with his Coach Finstock pseudonym on June 16, 2016.

Old Town here appears to refer to the historic district of Alexandria, Virginia.

The prospects from the Forum appears to refer to members looking to join the local chapter of TRS for which Gebert performed recruitment, as Hatewatch previously reported.

In fall 2018, this reporter received a tip from a source, then anonymous, who claimed to have information on an alleged meeting between Peter Thiel and a prominent white nationalist that took place during the 2016 election cycle. The source later revealed herself to be former Breitbart editor Katie McHugh.

In November 2018, McHugh provided Hatewatch with an image file showing an email exchange between DeAnna and Thiel. McHugh told Hatewatch that the image was a photo she had taken with her phone of DeAnnas unlocked computer in August 2016, when the two were living together in Virginia.

However, the file provided to Hatewatch was a screenshot dated November 2018, and not the original JPG file from McHughs phone. As a result, it lacked the metadata that would corroborate the time and date the photo was taken, and when/if it was backed up to either McHughs hard drive or the cloud.

Hatewatch has now been able to verify the authenticity of these images from a reconstructed archive of McHughs iCloud, which was created when McHugh backed up her phone by plugging it into her computer. Hatewatch was also able to verify images of a few other emails in the same manner.

With these cached images in hand, Hatewatch concluded McHugh conducted a backup on Sept. 15, 2016, as that is when MacOS appears to have created the cache. Hatewatch was thus able to determine that McHugh had taken this image between backups made on Aug. 5, 2016, and Sept. 15, 2016 a timeline that matched McHughs own recollection that she took the photo in early Aug. 2016.

The image appeared identical to the screenshot provided to this reporter in late 2018.
