Suwar Ashour weighed just 2.4kg at birth five months ago. Since then, she has gained less than half a kilogram. “She used to vomit heavily from both breast milk and formula,” said her mother, Najwa Aram, as she leaned over the crib where the tiny infant lay. Aram told Middle East Eye she had stayed in the hospital with her baby for 10 days. Aram herself is malnourished and has struggled to breastfeed. “Suwar was born during the hardship of war,” she said.

Ten years have passed since Luis Enrique won the Champions League with Barcelona. If he is to repeat the feat with Paris Saint-Germain, only Ernst Happel and Jupp Henyckes would have endured a longer wait to lift the famous trophy for a second time.Victory would elevate Luis Enrique into an elite club. But there is a more specific statistic that poses an intriguing question regarding his legacy: PSG have already completed the most dribbles in a Champions League season since his Barcelona side of a decade ago. Is this a distinctly Luis Enrique idea? It seems too much of a…

On 28 March, the Zionist German Jewish weekly Judische Allgemeine Zeitung happily announced that Tel Aviv would become Berlin’s newest twin city, with all factions of the Berlin House of Representatives agreeing to the decision. A few days later, Der Tagesspiegel, one of Berlin’s so-called “quality newspapers,” declared that “the two metropolises have a lot in common”. What an abysmal disgrace: the representatives of the self-proclaimed parties of the “democratic centre” in the Berlin House of Representatives – Christian Democrats, Social Democrats, and Greens – have decided, together with the “Left” and the fascist Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), to move…

Most discussions that I see about China these days are about US-China competition, or the question of whether China’s economy will reign supreme (my answer: Probably, yes, because it’s really big). But there’s another strain of discourse that’s kind of interesting, which is whether China is the “Country of the Future” in terms of technology and urbanism.In my experience, these discussions are usually pretty vague and confused, jumping back and forth between architecture, transportation, consumer technology, production technology, art, pop culture, soft power, urban design, and a bunch of other topics. That doesn’t mean I think the topic is worthless; vague and confused discussions can…
