My heart goes with Hiba, and her family, and every child, and every adult who lost their lives in this war. May the almighty Allah grant them the highest prestigious place in the heaven. Aamin. And responding to Butch and Aaqib, Hiba Abu Nada is a different person than Nada Al Farra. We are in

Congratulations to to the new affiliate. I have seen a lot of Japanese wikimedians being active on wikimedia platforms, specially in the governance landscape in recent days. The new affiliate will hopefully mobilize these activities. I was sharing this news with some of my team members last night

Well, this is strange and interesting at the same time. There is a lot going on inside South Asian communities that have been hidden from the world and have started to surface now. I have made an effort to analyze and document my observations regarding the "WAP UG" and have outlined them in the
