المعهد العابر للقوميات يُنعي مُزن النيلمُزن النيل تغادر عالمنا تاركة إرثًا سيعيش طويلًا.

"بقلوب مُثقلة بالأسى والإحساس بالفجيعة بلغنا نبأ وفاة مُزن النيل. تعجز الكلمات عن وصف صدمتنا وحزننا على رحيلها المفاجئ. مُزن التي وُلدت في أم درمان بالسودان في يونيو 1986 رحلت عن عالمنا في ريعان شبابها، عن عمر 39 عاماً. لقد تركت برحيلها فجوة هائلة، فهي إنسانة فريدة قلّما تجود الأيام بمثلها..."

p.s. The Fediverse can only keep being resilient like this as long as we stay spread out on many servers. If we congregate on one server, that puts the network in danger of major outages.

That's one of many reasons why it's a bad idea to sign up on a supergiant server like mastodon.social, and much better to sign up on a different server. You can find lots of good reliable human-curated servers at https://fedi.garden and https://joinmastodon.org/servers

The European Citizens’ Initiative to suspend the EU Israel Association Agreement has passed a million signatures!

This is enough to force a debate and response by the European Parliament and European Commission.

However, the organisers are going for 1.5M signatures, to have a buffer against invalidated signatures.

NB even Germany is close to their symbolic national threshold!
