The crisis of trust is one of the defining challenges of our time. It threatens the stability of countries, the effectiveness of economies, and the cohesion of communities.
However, it is not an insurmountable obstacle. History has shown that societies can recover from periods of deep distrust and emerge stronger. The path forward requires a collective commitment to cooperation, truth, transparency, and accountability. It demands that we move beyond cynicism and engage in the hard work of rebuilding the foundations of our social contract.

"Market associations, religious welfare networks, professional guilds, neighbourhood councils – these exist everywhere in Pakistan, self-financed and genuinely representative of those they serve.
Somehow, donors never found them. Or rather, they looked right past them. What donors funded instead, quite generously, were those groups established specifically to attract their money."

“Europe’s Moral Crisis: The Crumbling Shield around Israel”

@iran“The rejection of war is part of a broader rejection of Israeli military policy and the alignment of European governments with it. These shifts have not only isolated Israel; they have begun to isolate its allies. Aside from Donald Trump and his full alignment with Netanyahu’s agenda, the era of a unified Western bloc catering unquestioningly to Israel’s demands is fading.
The traditional explanation for Europe’s backing—historical guilt over the Holocaust—no longer explains the conduct of political elites. A more accurate explanation lies in Europe’s own legacy of colonial violence and racial hierarchy”

The Klette defense’s push for acquittal highlights the friction between historical narratives and legal proof. ⚖️ As police patrol the Spree to keep holiday-goers safe from their own "customs of masculinity", we ask: How much of our safety is built on law, and how much is built on common sense? Avoid the salmonella sprinkles, watch the water, and stay grounded. 🫂💥 #BND #DanielaKlette #Himmelfahrt #CivilSociety

Uganda has passed a new law aimed at silencing dissent that poses a grave threat to civil society. It labels those who receive donor funding from abroad “agents of foreigners”. Anyone convicted faces up to 20 years in prison.

Training week for our 10 community mentors in the mountains of Hunedoara. 🏔️
Four days of experiential learning, group facilitation, active listening — the toolkit they'll need to work with 100+ Roma students at risk of dropping out of school in Dolj County.
The mentors come from the same communities as the children. That's the point.

Students teaching students. 🦷
In Craiova, five dental students from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy volunteered at two primary schools to deliver oral health workshops for children in the "second chance" programme.
Project ANGLE reaches 200 children from marginalised Roma communities in Dolj County with integrated education, health and mentoring support — funded through #ESFPlus.
Small workshops. Measurable impact.

“Many people still treat peace as something that comes by chance or divine intervention. In reality, it depends on civic culture. It requires populations capable of managing conflict without violence and of living with disagreement without turning it into hatred. That is not a passive condition. It has to be cultivated.”

CW: What is going on in Sudan?
Revolution, War and the Neighborhood Resistance Committees
Interview with Marwan Osman (Sudan Uprising Germany) and Mai Shatta (Kurve Wüstrow) from July 2023. Both are Sudanese activists in exile.
There are over 5,200 Neighborhood Resistance Committees in Sudan. They were formed from 2013 onwards because the Islamist government had destroyed the trade unions who had brought down dictators in 1964 and 1985.
In 2016, there was nevertheless a very successful political strike that lasted 3 days. After that, Neighbourhood Resistance Committees started to play an important political role.
The revolution in Sudan started in December 2018, with mass protests against the dictator Omar Al-Bashir , who had ruled the country for 30 years. He was overthrown in April 2019. A military council was then installed to form a transitional government. The people, however, demanded a civilian government and organised a sit-in in front of the military headquarters in Khartoum, with up to 100,000 people meeting in the evening. On 3 June 2019, the military council brutally dissolved the sit-in and killed 3,000 people: the Khartoum massacre.
Since state structures collapsed when the war began in April 2023, the Neigborhood Resistance Committees have acted as a de facto alternative government. They organise water, food, medical care, psychosocial support for those bombed out, safe shelters for women. They are currently trying to organise the harvesting of crops. Nevertheless, Sudan is in a humanitarian emergency situation. The world remains silent about the situation, while foreign capital buys up the fertile land. At the same time, the population lacks the most basic necessities, hardly any humanitarian aid arrives, because the big aid organisations do not recognise the Neighbourhood Resistance Committees.
Millions of people will starve to death if the harvest is not brought in.
"What we need from the global leftists is just to spread the word and put enough pressure on their governments to lift their hands from the Sudanese internal politics. If the international community distanced itself from supporting these dictators in Sudan, I think the Sudanese people are able to deal with them."

#CivilResistance scholarship recommends #SocialMovements adopt a #nonviolent (NV) strategy for #SocialChange. The #violence analyzed is usually #ArmedStruggle, but it recommends NV in all tactics (thus excluding property destruction, #rioting, confrontation w/ #police). Benjamin Case's excellent "Street Rebellion" shows movements involving rioting are more likely to be successful, largely b/c riots lead to wider #CivilSociety participation in movements. Well-researched book!
