‘#wecantsaywedidntknow’ was the hashtag under which, in 2016, Sophie McNeill tweeted news from her informants under siege in Aleppo (p. 170), where hospitals were knowingly bombarded by Syrian and Russian military, and masses of civilians, many of them children, indiscriminately killed. McNeill is an investigative reporter with the ABC, now with the Four Corners programme. From 2015 to 2018, she was the ABC’s Middle East correspondent, and We Can’t Say We Didn’t Know enlarges mainly upon her reports from that time. McNeill was previously a member of the SBS Dateline team from 2005 to 2010, and had reported for them from Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Afghanistan and Pakistan, among other countries, winning two Walkley awards over this period, and later a third during her ABC Middle East posting. The book, McNeill’s first, includes cutting-edge material from Syria, Yemen, Gaza, the West Bank, Iraq, Jordan and elsewhere.
