Dear Friends,
2025 has begun…
My wish for this coming year is to see an end to the suffering and destruction in every war torn part of the world…#ceasefire and peaceful solutions.
Meanwhile … Thousands of medical staff around the world are advocating for the safe return of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital who was abducted last Friday and taken to a detention and torture camp @dr.hussam73

Dear Friends,
Reflecting back on 2024 in Gaza…
Witnessing the endless destruction and brutality forcibly endured by the Palestinian people has been totally nightmarish.
But the additional horror factor has been the resounding silence and complicity from the leadership of countries who are all supporting this ongoing genocide.
It exposes the full extent of the global industrial weapons manufacturing system, coupled with the moral bankruptcy of politicians and media run by billionaire tycoons.
The deliberate slaughter, starvation, burning, suffering and persecution of children, women and men is abominable.
I wish to whatever powers that be for ceasefire and an end to this despicable horror show.

Dear Friends,
Everything is suffering in Gaza.
Suffering beyond anything you could imagine in your worst nightmares.
HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of Palestinians are forced to endure the most brutal of hardships, compounded by every torturous - hellish brutality under the sun.
Derelict makeshift ‘tents’ have become fridges of death for tiny babies born under siege!
I find it SO hard to share these unconscionable horrors, but shame and grief compels me to keep drawing attention to this genocide. Under YOUR WATCH
Keir Starmer ( former human rights lawyer) and David Lammy- genocide apologist.
And the leaders of every single Western power complicit in this appalling carnage!!!
SHAME ON YOU ALL!!!

Dear Friends,
Swipe through Instagram.
The images will haunt you forever…
To the Western press and media - who fail to cover these atrocities..To Keir Starmer - David Lammy and the UK Government..
If you have children…
Reflect on this.
Then ask yourself whether you have any decency, courage, compassion or humanity?
Stop killing innocent children!!!
Stop killing their mothers and fathers!!

Dear Friends,
I want to share this message from 1988 all the way to 2024!!! I was truly honoured to have an opportunity to record this beautiful song with one of the greatest legends of soul music - Rev Al Green!
So here we both are…
sending out the most powerful message we humans have to share.
With LOVE we can make GREAT THINGS happen in life.
Without LOVE we are reduced to nothing.

Dear Friends,
We live in a sick world, where international humanitarian laws have been discarded.
Where humanitarian workers are targeted while trying to rescue babies, children, women and men trapped underneath the rubble of their former homes, schools, hospitals and places of worship… in fact… EVERY part of Gaza, where there is NOWHERE safe and every rule in the book has been disregarded. We have witnessed it ALL live streamed.
The disproportionality is SO extreme. The carnage SO relentless… And ALL this happens with the support and complicity of Western governments. It is a shameful and dystopian genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Every single humanitarian organisation including Medecins Sans Frontiers- Oxfam and Amnesty International is condemning of what is taking place.
Yet ‘STILL it continues both day and night’!!

Dear Friends,
As Xmas is just around the corner, the stores are packed with last minute Xmas shoppers..

Dear friends
Thank you SO much for the outpouring of love on my recent post about my 70th birthday on Dec 25th!
It’s truly moving to know that our/my music has touched so many lives in so many ways and equally moving that the BBC would decide to dedicate an entire night to broadcasting a selection of these moments.
We’ve been inundated with messages asking about sending birthday gifts!
So here’s a suggestion-if you feel so inclined!!
Please consider giving a donation to:

@thecirclengo - A charity I founded 16 years ago to support the rights of women and girls globally ( fundraising link in my bio and attached to this post)

@unrwa - Agency for Palestine Refugees. The largest humanitarian organisation on the ground in Gaza (link in their bio)

@fundakitchengaza - A free tool to help to find and fund community kitchens across Gaza (link in their bio)

@Rescue_uk - Responding to the world’s worst crises - helping people to survive, recover and rebuild their lives. (link in their bio)

@careOrg - Working alongside women, girls and their communities to save lives, overcome poverty and achieve social justice. (link in their bio)

@HumantiProject - A grass-roots collective advocating for Collective liberation, through sharing resources and strategic actions to mount political and societal pressure to invoke meaningful change.

Your donation will literally change peoples lives.

I know it’s a very difficult time for many people globally so this isn’t in anyway an ‘ask,’ but if you want to send something to mark my 70th birthday this would be the BEST gift of ALL!!
Sending out so much LOVE and APPRECIATION from Annie ❤️

Dear Friends,
As you know, I’ve devoted much of my Instagram page to calling for ‘ceasefire’ for over a year, so it’s quite unusual for me to post about anything else.
However… I’m actually turning 70 on Dec 25th and the BBC has VERY thoughtfully decided to broadcast a collection of interviews and performances given underneath their hallowed halls from WAY back in the day before we all had handheld gadgets. So if you’re feeling nostalgic, I just wanted to give you a heads up…It’s a DEEP dive.

Dear Friends,
The situation in Gaza is essentially subhuman and unbearable.
We witness and are absolutely beyond appalled that this nightmare of nightmares is being forced upon innocent civilians - women and children..

Dear Friends,
I’m sure like me, you must be struggling to come to terms with information like this.
Each balloon represents a child who has lost one limb - at LEAST!
I don’t think it’s possible for those outside Gaza to even begin to imagine the devastating pain and suffering innocent children in Gaza are being forced to endure. We can use descriptive words, like ‘apocalyptic’ - and even then it falls short!
That is why it’s REALLY important that we stay with the call for ‘ceasefire’….
What kind of world are we living in that tolerates, pays for and supports this?
Where tens of thousands of children have had their limbs blown off…in hellish circumstances where there is no anaesthetic - No aid..No food…No medical supplies..
What kind of words could even begin to describe these balloons and what they represent???

Dear Friends,
There are no words left.
We ALL caught up in this genocidal apocalypse whether we realise it or not.
Witness what we humans are capable of creating…
Hellscape upon hellscape.
We cry for ceasefire into a void of indifference on a global scale.
Where is the humanity?
Where is the compassion? Where is the moral compass??
Where is the outrage and condemnation????!!!
The global leaders?
The politicians?
The religious leaders?
The media?
SHAME ON THEM ALL!!!!!
