I talked about Germany‘s support for journalists in crises and conflicts in the Kosovar Kanal 10 late night show Prime Time. Amongst the local population, the own recent historic experience of war creates a remarkable level of understanding and hospitality for Ukrainian exiled journalists. The high level of support they find in Pristina impressed me profoundly.

Protection of Ukrainian Journalists: Interview with RTK Kosovo
On 23 November 2022, I talked to the Kosovar public news channel RTK about Germany and the Republic of Kosovo’s joint efforts for the protection and support of Ukrainian journalists. Shrinking spaces for liberal democracies require coordinated international responses. #HannahArendtInitiative

Was sind Peace Studies?
Zu Beginn der COVID-19-Pandemie folgte ich einer Einladung von Alejandro Boucabeille, mich mit ihm auf seinem YouTube Kanal “The Entrepreneurial Adventurer” über meine Arbeit als Friedens- und Konfliktforscher in Äthiopien und Irak sowie über die breiteren Herausforderungen der Disziplin zu unterhalten.
Unipress Interview über Konflikt und Vermittlung
Auch wenn die aktuelle Corona-Pandemie die meisten Nachrichtensendungen weitestgehend vereinnahmt, bleiben bisherige Konflikte und Krisen nach wie vor eine Herausforderung für die Weltgemeinschaft. Das betrifft insbesondere Teile Afrikas und des Nahen Ostens, wo Konflikte auch 2020 weiterhin gewaltsam eskaliert sind. Diese Entwicklungen bieten Anlass für ein Interview mit einem Konfliktforscher.
Elicitive Peace and Conflict Monitoring: A Pilot Study in Iraq published by UNDP
My latest work, co-authored with Alba Losert and Armin Rabitsch, has been published by the United Nations Development Programme: Elicitive Peace and Conflict Monitoring: A Pilot Study in Iraq. I am grateful to all our partners and friends at the Iraqi Alamal Association, as well as the University of Baghdad, University of Anbar, University of Mosul and Tikrit University for their tremendous work and collaboration throughout the process of research. With this pilot study, we have developed an instrument to monitor conflict developments and potentials for peace in a context-sensitive manner. We hope that it can serve as a basis for future conflict analysis as well as quality assurance and programmatic decision making within the contexts of the UN and other international organizations. Drawing on the expertise of local stakeholders in conflicts, elicitive peace and conflict monitoring may also serve as a research-informed basis for future policy making in local, national and international peace efforts.
