This move is consistent with U.S. complicity in perpetrating the genocide in Gaza. I trust South Africa adds U.S. presidents Trump and Biden to the ICC lawsuit
Left civil war in Northern Ireland in the early 80's. Now find myself in a brewing civil war where there'll only be losers. Unless this latest iteration of tin-pot dictator can be beaten back.

Trump aides, without evidence, accuse governor Lisa Cook of fraud. Presumably ignoring that their boss is a convicted felon (fraud) and adjudicated rapist. If fraud is disqualifying the orange sack of flatulence must resign.

IPC report on Gaza - Nearly 55,500 malnourished pregnant and breastfeeding women will require urgent nutrition response. Conditions in North Gaza Governorate are estimated to be as severe—or worse—than in Gaza Governorate. However, limited data access prevents IPC classification of this area.
Wotshisname (@tombattisti.bsky.social)
IPC reports about Gaza - Through June 2026, at least 132,000 children under five are expected to suffer from acute malnutrition—double the IPC estimates from May 2025. This includes over 41,000 severe cases of children at heightened risk of death.
Wotshisname (@tombattisti.bsky.social)
IPC reports Nearly a third of the Gaza population (641,000 people) are expected to face catastrophic conditions (IPC Phase 5), while those in Emergency (IPC Phase 4) will likely rise to 1.14 million (58 percent). Acute malnutrition is projected to continue worsening rapidly.
Wotshisname (@tombattisti.bsky.social)
IPC reports 1.07 million people (54 percent) are in Emergency (IPC Phase 4), and 396,000 people (20 percent) are in Crisis (IPC Phase 3). Between mid-August and the end of September 2025, conditions are expected to further worsen with Famine projected to expand to Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis.
Wotshisname (@tombattisti.bsky.social)
As of 15 August 2025, Famine (IPC Phase 5)—with reasonable evidence—is confirmed in Gaza Governorate. After 22 months of relentless conflict, over half a million people in the Gaza Strip are facing catastrophic conditions characterised by starvation, destitution and death.
