After nearly 18 months of displacement, starvation and genocidal violence, minimal attention has been paid to the bloody conflict still raging across Sudan – nor to the powers fuelling it.

Whether it be the EU charging Elon Musk for letting disinformation run wild on X or Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s data-sharing scandal hearing in front of the US Senate, social media moguls are no strangers to confrontations with governments. Until now, however, none had faced serious legal action – let alone law enforcement officers at an airport.

Words by me and Pete Weatherby KC, who represented 22 of the Hillsborough families at fresh inquests in 2016. That inquest corrected one of the worst miscarriages of justice in UK history. Now, the @MoJGovUK looks to defang the very law that would prevent it happening again.
Amid reports of watered down government draft provisions, bereaved families call for an "all or nothing" Hillsborough Law with a Duty of Candour. @INQUEST_ORG hosted the 'Family Listening Day', co-sponsored by @MoJGovUK and supported by @NowHillsborough. https://t.co/obH9CXRQYZ

As important as the PM's Paris summit on peace in Ukraine is, this decision throws greater doubt over @Keir_Starmer's promise to reintroduce Hillsborough Law into Parliament before 15 April.
Hillsborough families reportedly found out about @10DowningStreet cancelling the meeting through reporters at the @DailyMirror. @Keir_Starmer has promised to reintroduce #HillsboroughLaw into Parliament by 15 April, the tragedy's 36th anniversary. https://t.co/7guPkfPffp
