【ま昨年５月３１日のタンクローリー自爆テロの爪痕】
カブール市内で発生した多くの犠牲を出した自爆テロ、某大使館の一部は、写真のように、まだ、修復は終わっていません。実際の爆発の映像を見ましたが、広範囲に被害が。ソフトターゲットも近年増加傾向。

Just noticed that https://t.co/azrP8JqBni is down. Was it a #DNS attack? @UptrendsMonitor reports DNS Lookup Error. https://t.co/Im2aEqR4vW @BreakingDefense #cyber

In the process of drafting a follow-up to my earlier article for @defenceWeb_Afr on Chinese #military activities in Africa: https://t.co/F4KXoGQnhd Feel free to ping me with any insights on the future of #China military activities in #Somalia.

One can hear the #parapara from #DPWorld to #CMACGM: "#Djibouti says that it is in exclusive talks with CMA CGM to build and operate a new 2.4 million TEU container terminal." https://t.co/Odk446DxLr

My long thread: There are many who say that such formation is purely for photo op, propaganda purposes. Of course, or you think that Director Dante Lam requested for the PLAN to arrange this so he can go film a sequel to Operation Red Sea (probably Operation South China Sea)? 1/ https://t.co/jMN0Ihg0Sb

RIP Johan van Hulst. The world was better bc of you: "You realize that you cannot possibly take all the children with you. You know for a fact that the children you leave behind are going to die. I took twelve with me. Later on I asked myself: 'Why not thirteen?'" @NLintheUSA

Our latest photo feature by @benmoran highlights the harshness of the journey through Djibouti taken by tens of thousands of migrants from Ethiopia and Somalia trying to reach war-ravaged Yemen and Gulf States beyond. https://t.co/0ISuXECCeu

After a three month hiatus from writing, the number of assignments is starting to pile-up! Four journal articles due in next three weeks. And, one is on a topic that I have not tackled in the past. (#China in #Somalia) Feeling a bit #dokidoki this morning!!! :^)

Satō-sama provides some interesting perspectives on the region. Note the point about #Kenya as the gateway to the Asia-Pacific. @BenjaminDooley @AmbShinn @JohnHemmings2 @MarSec_Bradford @alessionaval @CelinePajon @SheilaSmithCFR @GregPoling https://t.co/xXdO54txpj

How vulnerable are #UAE military bases to #ballistic missile attacks? Hard to assess based on #opensource info. However, there is no doubt that some are within the range of #Houthi missiles in #Yemen. Consider the distances btw these UAE #military bases and #Saada Governorate.

[Eddie Walsh @ASEANReporting]

@carlbildt I love #Austria. But @carlbildt is spot on. Today, Austria stands apart from #EU. If Austria cannot expel Russian diplomats on account of #neutrality, then perhaps #EU countries should re-evaluate the future of their partnership with Austria on account of #neutrality. #JustSaying

[Eddie Walsh @ASEANReporting]

Update: Been working on article about how Chinese engagement in #Somalia could impact regional power dynamics in East #Africa. Those knowledgeable about this topic, please get in contact. Love to hear your thoughts. (CC: @GregPoling @alessionaval @BonnieGlaser @JohnHemmings2)

We've overhauled our Island Tracker at @AsiaMTI. It now includes imagery of EVERY outpost in the South China Sea for EVERY claimant. That's over 90 facilities at nearly 70 features, w/ before and after shots and other relevant info https://t.co/JMSiPGaGFJ

Should the Djibouti Regional Training Center be re-conceptualized as a multi-use facility? @ASEANReporting explores in his new CPD Blog post: https://t.co/5mBpVHn2HG
