The U.S. military runs 800+ bases abroad, few answer to local laws, many violate human rights, and all cost lives and resources. On Oct 4, communities worldwide gathered to say: no more. Colonialism with a landing strip is still colonialism! buff.ly/IZMcMXh #CloseBases

Israeli Military Attacks Flotilla in International Waters - World BEYOND War The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) and Thousand Madleens to Gaza (TMTG) confirm that three boats: Gaza Sunbirds, Alaa Al-Najajr, and Anas Al-Sharif, have been attacked and illegally intercepted by…

🚨 At 4:34 AM today, Israeli forces illegally intercepted 8 humanitarian flotilla boats, 120 nautical miles from Gaza in international waters. Civilian crew abducted. Medical aid seized.

Another breach of international law, ignored, unpunished, repeated. buff.ly/dxAkgvG #FreedomFlotilla

UN warns of potential ‘ethnically driven’ atrocities in Sudan’s el-Fasher United Nations says more than 90 people were killed in paramilitary attacks on the city over 10 days last month.

The UN warns of “ethnically driven” atrocities in #Sudan’s el-Fasher. After 500 days of war, 260,000 civilians are trapped without food, medicine, or escape. Drone strikes hit mosques. Starvation is weaponized.

And the world keeps looking away. buff.ly/nLnbGE1 #HandsOffSudan

The war in Gaza cost the US over $30B—Most of it sent to Israel: Report "In a normal year, Israel would get $3.8 billion in U.S. military aid," William Hartung told Newsweek.

The U.S. has spent over $30 BILLION fueling Israel’s war on #Gaza, while schools collapse, hospitals fall, and 67,000 Palestinians lie dead.

An active complicity in a #genocide, funded by U.S. taxpayers.

67,000+ Palestinians killed. 2.1 million displaced. 436,000 homes destroyed. 745,000 students out of school.

After 2 years of war, #Gaza has been razed, starved, and suffocated, with no end in sight. buff.ly/OBOI1de

Tell the World's Governments to End the Genocide - World BEYOND War The UN can be made useful and can be used to end the genocide. #WorldBEYONDWar

The ICJ and UNGA are clear: Israel’s continued occupation of Palestinian territory is unlawful. States are legally bound to prevent genocide and uphold international law.

Urge your government to act under Resolution 377 NOW.

How conflict is impacting Nigeria's education system – DW – 09/12/2025 Millions of children in West and Central Africa are being forced out of attending school due to worsening insecurity. Despite efforts to combat banditry and conflict the crisis continues,…

There is an urgent need to protect education in conflict-affected areas of #Nigeria. Over 5 million children face systemic exclusion due to insecurity, displacement, and fear.

#Education is a right, not a casualty of #war.

Governors Warn of 'Martial Law' and Trump 'Invasion' as US Judge Halts Troop Order—for Now | Common Dreams "This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness," declared Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.

Deploying the National Guard against states’ consent turns soldiers into tools of repression and communities into occupied zones.

Militarizing domestic politics is a blueprint for dictatorship. Every voice raised in nonviolent resistance matters right now.

As Israeli Forces Seize Final Sumud Boat, Another Flotilla Sails Toward Gaza - World BEYOND War As Israeli forces on Friday captured the last remaining vessel from the Global Sumud Flotilla that aimed to break Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip and deliver humanitarian aid, another group of…

You can sink ships, but not determination. With Gaza under siege and medics still being killed, another flotilla is already en route, staffed with healthcare workers and press.

The blockade is still in place. So is the resistance!

WBW's Education and Action Course Has Been Having an Impact - World BEYOND War Created and led by World BEYOND War, in collaboration with global and local partners, PEAI enters its 2025 iteration with nine country teams advancing this work. Here are a few edited excerpts of…

While states arm youth for war, WBW equips them for peace. PEAI has trained young leaders in 19 countries to build peace rooted in cultural memory, nonviolence, and dialogue. From Ghana to Iraq, youth are doing the work states won’t.

Australia handed $10m to Israeli arms firm as Albanese recognised Palestine Yet again, the government is handing taxpayer money to a company steeped in Palestinian blood: Elbit Systems. It's quite a contrast to Anthony Albanese's posturing on recognising Palestine.

Recognition means nothing without cutting #military ties. #Australia is fueling the very war crimes it condemns. While claiming to support Palestinian statehood, the Albanese government is bankrolling Elbit Systems, supplier of banned weapons, #Gaza drones, and tools of occupation.

Rebuilding Khartoum Will Cost Billions That Sudan Doesn’t Have Nearly 2 million people are expected to return to Khartoum by year’s end. They’re finding looted homes, collapsed infrastructure and little aid

Return doesn’t mean recovery. Khartoum’s returnees are rebuilding a city still under siege, without international funding, with looted homes, and with trauma unaddressed.

#Sudan’s crisis didn’t end. The silence just got louder.

The Return of the Starvation Weapon The collapse of global norms fueling the catastrophes in Gaza and Sudan.

Starvation is a #warcrime. Under international law, food must never be withheld from civilians. In #Gaza and #Sudan, mass #starvation is being inflicted with impunity.

Global silence endangers every humanitarian norm we have left. buff.ly/QCOmwaX

What Abolishing Militaries Includes - World BEYOND War "Abolition" isn't just a fun word to say. #WorldBEYONDWar

Militaries won’t stop climate collapse, end genocide, or deliver aid. They’re built to dominate, not to heal. The Gaza flotilla made it plain: unarmed civilians reveal the moral failure of armed power. The alternatives exist. The obstacle is the war budget. buff.ly/Gua6MXL #NoWar2025

Recognising statehood is the minimum – now the EU must protect Palestine with money As Europe’s socialist leaders, we call for a trade deal and aid package for Palestine – along with sanctions on Israel to halt the genocide, say European leaders

Palestine needs a binding EU trade deal, real financial support, and an end to complicity in Israeli war crimes. Genocide won’t end with statements. It ends with sanctions, solidarity, and structural change.

Military emissions are excluded from the #ParisAgreement. Why? Because endless war is more important to governments than a livable planet. A war economy will never deliver climate justice.

Myanmar's war-torn Rakhine state grappling with hunger crisis, aid groups say More than 100,000 children are suffering from acute malnutrition, with less than 2% able to access treatment, according to data provided by aid workers.

#ICYMI In Rakhine, 100,000+ children are acutely malnourished. Families boil grass to quiet their hunger. This is the result of military blockades, conflict, and global neglect. Starvation is a weapon of war.

Borders, prisons, and war are colonial inventions. Indigenous abolition resists them all.
At #NoWar2025, global Indigenous voices share how kinship and care dismantle these systems. buff.ly/BDrTqNO

More than 14 million Sudanese have been displaced. Refugees from Darfur to Khartoum report massacres, abductions, starvation sieges, and forced recruitment by both sides. Yet the global response remains silence and arms sales.
