🔴 2025 was a bloody affair. 2026 promises little better.

Peace Mediation Today: New Actors, New Coalitions, Lasting Results. Grateful for this discussion at @ParisPeaceForum.

Hard power is rising and the old rules are fraying, but conflict prevention still works if we’re honest about who can make peace and what tools they hold.

Honoured to be recognised on the 2027 UK Black Powerlist, & grateful to see the work of International Crisis Group valued & acknowledged. This recognition is a testament to the dedication of our colleagues working every day to prevent conflict & build a more peaceful world.

The crisis of multilateralism, the limits of global leadership, diplomacy’s shortcomings and the scope for regional openings were among the subjects of a frank and thoughtful conversation at @GIFGRF in Istanbul.

Gaza’s ceasefire must not become another hollow promise. Grateful to @trtworldforum for providing a platform to discuss Gaza’s future and the urgent need for a way forward.
