10,000+ who arrived in Germany as refugees since 2015 have mastered the language sufficiently to enrol at a German university. More than 1/2 are in work & pay tax. 80%+ refugee children & teenagers say they have a strong sense of belonging to German school

This week, the UK will likely pass a law saying Rwanda is "safe" to deport asylum seekers to. Meanwhile, I was recently denied boarding on a flight to Rwanda, presumably because of my journalism on the treatment of refugees there. (THREAD) 1/

An online press conference in which Ugandan pres candidate Bobi Wine announced he is calling on the ICC to charge Ugandan gov figures with crimes against humanity was waylaid when he was pulled out of his car by police, who are shooting the air around him & allegedly tear-gassing

This is said to be the most intense aerial campaign of the last 20 years, apart from Gaza. The full civilian toll is already impossible to understand or assess. 3/

Pretty blown away by this shout out in Irish president Michael D. Higgins’ speech for #WorldRefugeeDay. Maybe this can be a motivator too for other journos working on tough issues: I guess we never know where our reporting is reaching & who is listening. president.ie/en/media-libra…
