IPSEs IN THE LAST 24H
  • Ursula von der Leyen
    Ursula von der Leyen “I am following the situation in Georgia with great concern and condemn the violence on the streets of Tbilisi.

  • Oleksandr Kozachenko
    Oleksandr Kozachenko “If we compare it with the beginning (of the Russian invasion), when we fired up to 100 shells a day, then now, when we fire 30 shells it's a luxury. Sometimes the number of shells fired daily is in single digits.” 3 hours ago
  • Abdallah al-Dardari
    Abdallah al-Dardari “The United Nations Development Programme's initial estimates for the reconstruction of … the Gaza Strip surpasses $30bn and could reach up to $40bn. The scale of the destruction is huge and unprecedented … this is a mission that the global community has not dealt with since World War II.” 3 hours ago
  • Karine Jean-Pierre
    Karine Jean-Pierre “Americans have the right to peacefully protest. Forcibly taking over a building is not peaceful.” 18 hours ago
  • Janet Yellen
    Janet Yellen “Treasury has consistently warned that companies will face significant consequences for providing material support for Russia's war, and the U.S. is imposing them today on almost 300 targets.” 18 hours ago
  • Catherine Russell
    Catherine Russell “Over 200 days of war have already killed or maimed tens of thousands of children in Gaza. For hundreds of thousands of children in the border city of Rafah, there is added fear of an escalated military operation that would bring catastrophe on top of catastrophe for children. Nearly all of the some 600,000 children now crammed into Rafah are either injured, sick, malnourished, traumatised or living with disabilities.” 18 hours ago

“Monday's statement by the Khartoum police in which they stated they used minimum legal force … has angered the protesters even more. [On Monday,] there was the use of live ammunition in Khartoum, something that has rarely happened over the last two months or so. Protesters say they will continue to organise for civil disobedience and they will continue to organise for more protests despite the number of deaths.”

“His [Abdalla Hamdok] removal, as far as [protesters] are concerned, removes the last fig leaf that was covering this regime and what remains is a full-fledged military dictatorship.”

“The November 21 deal lacked public support, apparent in the continuation of the protests against him [Abdalla Hamdok] and his inability to appoint any ministers. It meant that no one wanted to share this pact with him. In their [protesters'] view, all he did was legitimise the coup. Hamdok was like a fig leaf.”

“In the vicinity of the palace there are clashes between the protesters and the security forces. The numbers are smaller today than on Saturday because of the heavy security arrangements including closing the bridges and doubling or tripling the number of security forces and they are using whatever amount of teargas.”

“A majority of them have been forced to retreat following a heavy amount of tear gas that has been fired by security forces. The military who guard the presidential palace have also used live ammunition, according to protesters who ran away from the southern gates of the presidential palace. But protesters are still gathering on the road leading to the palace. Many of them are not far from the front gate. They say they're here to voice their demands and show the military that they want a civilian rule and no amount of tear gas or live ammunition will take them away from their demands. The protesters are saying the revolution is incomplete because the military is still in power. They are saying the military should go back to the barracks and that power should be handed to a civilian government. Many of them are saying they are not satisfied with the way the revolution has been going on over the past two years.”

“In the interest of the people and of the protesters, the global community must not support this government in any way. Any aid that comes to this government will just support the coup. It won't benefit the people.”

“Protests could now be held against both the military and Hamdok following the deal. The deal was a major compromise on the part of the prime minister as it essentially validates what has been called bad behaviour by this coup. Protesters have every right to be concerned about what message this sends to the country and to the prospects of the democratic transition.”

“A lot of protesters have large printed placards or pictures of journalists and members of parliament, lawyers, who have been arrested or imprisoned since July 25. They want to return to normal functioning of parliament. They want to return to the 2014 constitution, they want Kais Saied to step down and they would like to see new … [presidential and legislative] elections held.”

“We're not surprised by the people's turnout because this is what's been happening since October 25. This is the voice of the Sudanese people refusing al-Burhan [Abdel Fattah al-Burhan], refusing the military coup and refusing his council, and deeming this entire partnership invalid and totally refused by everybody. Unfortunately and as usually, these peaceful protests on the ground are being faced with tear gas, are being faced with gunshots. The number of protesters is increasing. Protesters are setting up barricades to try and protect themselves from the trucks and the vehicles of the joint forces that are facing the protesters.”

“There are concerns that there will be violence because of the spread of security forces, not just on the main bridges around the capital but also on the main streets. Activists and protesters have put out a list of hospitals where they say people should head out to should there be violence.”

“The SPA [Sudanese Professionals Association] had called on civilians on Saturday evening to set up barricades in neighbourhoods and on main streets to encourage people, and to also reduce the number of people who would go to work on Sunday and Monday. The protesters keep saying that they don't want negotiations with the army. The army says they are not going to return back to October 24 when there was a civilian transitional government, rather they want to look ahead and form a new government. They say even if Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok does not lead that transitional government, they will appoint a new prime minister and appoint a new cabinet to lead the country until elections in July 2023.”

“The blood of martyrs will hold you accountable. The protesters only had one demand against fraud in elections. Responding like this (with live fire) means you are the first responsible for this fraud.”

“Following yesterday's attack by security forces using live ammunition, the resistance committee has advised protesters to stay in their neighbourhoods, barricade the roads leading to those neighbourhoods and residential areas and continue with the civil disobedience. Many of the shops that are normally opened around this time of the day are closed. Very few cars are out on the roads. The streets that are normally busy are almost empty. Many of the protesters are saying they will continue with the protests despite being targeted by the security forces.”

“They [protesters] don't plan on leaving … [On the blocked road] leading to Podgorica, protesters asked the women to stand as a human wall in front of the barricades of tyres for as long as possible.”

“The IT sector has been repeatedly undermined with the internet shutdowns to disrupt the protesters. We've also seen a lot of strikes in the state-owned sector as well. So the Belarussian economy is really on the brink. The people have lost their fear of Lukashenko, he's lost a lot of his authority. No matter how many riot police he's deployed to the streets, it just hasn't stopped people from continuing to come out.”

“The use of force is unacceptable. Angry people accuse President Vucic of deliberately concealing the real health picture [with COVID-19] until the recent elections. Safety and health of people are in the first place. But not with repression.”
