    The making of The Gaza Project

    Fifty journalists. Thirteen organisations. Damning findings. Behind the scenes of a groundbreaking investigation.  This special episode of the IJ4EU Confidential podcast features leading contributors to The Gaza Project on their groundbreaking investigation that exposed “unprecedented” Israeli targeting of Palestinian journalists. At least 110 Palestinian journalists have been killed since the start of the Israel-Gaza War on October 7, 2023 – the largest number of journalists to be killed in this span of time in any modern war or conflict. In addition to facing unprecedented physical dangers, journalists in Gaza and the West Bank have faced threats, assault, censorship and arrests. Dozens of media offices in Gaza have been bombed by the Israeli military.  In July 2024, Forbidden Stories launched the results of their in-depth investigation into the deaths of journalists in Gaza as well as alleged attempts to harass, intimidate and target media workers within Gaza and the West Bank. The Gaza Project exposes evidence of targeted attacks on journalists and media infrastructure, calling to question the army’s denials about targeting the press since the war started. The investigation’s findings suggest that at least 18 media workers were reportedly killed or wounded by precision strikes likely launched from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), in violation of the laws of war.  Moderated by: Scott Griffen, acting executive director of the International Press Institute (IPI) Amy Brouillette, IPI’s director of advocacy Timothy Large, IPI’s director of independent media programmes Featuring: Laurent Richard, founder and director of Forbidden Stories Hoda Osman, executive editor of Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism Manisha Ganguly, investigations correspondent and open-source lead for The Guardian Walid Batrawi, IPI executive board member and Palestinian media trainer and consultant Production and graphics: Milica Miletić, IPI project coordinator

    Does the EU have blood on its hands in Sudan?

    Sudan is in the grip of an underreported catastrophe. Fighting between the national army and Janjaweed paramilitaries known for war crimes has devastated Khartoum and razed to the ground cities in the western Darfur region. Against this backdrop, we speak with two investigative journalists who have exposed the European Union’s role in legitimising Sudan’s “militia state” and sowing the seeds of a conflict that threatens to spiral into all-out civil war. Gwenaëlle Lenoir and Patricia Huon are two reporters behind The EU’s ‘Pact with the Devil’, which reveals links between Brussels, former Sudanese dictator Omar al-Bashir and Hemedti, a warlord now fighting to take over the country. Obsessed with halting migration, the European Union entrusted Sudan almost 10 years ago with responsibility for preventing migrants from reaching Libya, and therefore heading onto Europe. But the unintended consequences were catastrophic, the journalists say. For one thing, the EU's decision helped put control of borders along crucial migration routes into the hands of the Janjaweed, whose leader is now at war with the commander of Sudan’s national army, they explain. They also describe the situation today in Darfur, which they say is in the grip of a humanitarian crisis far greater than the one that grabbed the world’s attention in the early 2000s. “Twenty years ago, during the first war in Durfur, it was a story of burnt villages,” Lenoir says. “Now it’s a story of burnt cities.” Credits: Hosts: Timothy Large, director of independent media programmes at the International Press Institute (IPI) Milica Miletić, project and events coordinator at IPI Guests: Gwenaëlle Lenoir and Patricia Huon Editing and production: Timothy Large Graphics: Milica Miletić
