🚨 BREAKING:
Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur:
"My credit card doesn't work, I can't pay bills or transfers; my health insurance was cancelled. I feel like Pablo Escobar—all because I said, 'Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.'"
Le football marocain est en deuil. 🕊️💔🇲🇦
La joueuse Faten Ben Omar El Azizi, qui évoluait au Moghreb Tétouan, est décédée alors qu'elle tentait de rejoindre l'enclave espagnole de Ceuta 🇪🇸 à la nage, dans le contexte des traversées migratoires observées ces derniers jours à la frontière entre le Maroc et l'Espagne.
Au-delà du foot, c'est un drame humain qui rappelle les risques immenses pris par celles et ceux qui tentent de rejoindre l'Europe en quête d'une vie meilleure. Le dernier bilan provisoire de ces tentatives fait état de 43 décès. 😢
Toutes nos pensées vont à sa famille, à ses proches, à ses coéquipières ainsi qu'au Moghreb Tétouan.
You see the clown show happening in Spain right now, where the most typical CIA/MOSSAD operation of all time is happening, and you think you can beat these bloodthirsty colonizers without being authoritarian.
These guys are trying to remove Pedro Sanchez for his pro Palestinian views and are willing to light a European country on fire to do so.
A nation that by and large should and STILL is Western in inclination.
And yet, they're doing this to teach one man and anyone who thinks like him a lesson.
Yet some Nigerians without 2 brain cells to rub together think you can squash such obvious subversion attempts as a democracy.
The ONLY way your people you can save your people from turning to roadkill or prevent your God-given resources from being plundered is by having a strong, autocratic government that serves the interests of the people.
No bullshit legislature 99% of whom have stolen wealth stashed in western banks. Children in Western schools. And cabinets of dirt and blackmail in Western intelligence agencies.
Electoral democracy as a developing nation is lunacy. It a disease. It will lead us nowhere.
What we need is a Nigerian version of the CPC with equal, fair representation of our ethnic and religious composition.
We don't need bullshit democracy where all progress is in 4year start and stop cycles.
And where the stupid electoral democracy is nothing but a thumb printing exercise where the winner has long since been decided in Washington, Tel Aviv and London.
This was the Houthi military parade in 2023.
Even then, a wide variety of drones and missiles was already on display, an arsenal that is now infinitely more robust than it was at that time.
By 2023, they were already manufacturing some missile models.
Les forces de l’ordre marocaines ont organisé la vague d’arrivées de marocains à Ceuta.
La déstabilisation aux frontières de l’Europe visait Pedro Sanchez et a été décidée par le roi du Maroc, avec ses alliés Netanyahou et Trump.
Iran has gotten under Trump’s skin
According to press reports, Trump has exploded, slammed the table, and cursed with expletives in more than one meeting with senior national security officials.
The lack of progress in the war against Iran, the absence of a clear strategy, and even the lack of defined objectives for the war itself have been the source of his frustration.
Such a clear strategy, or whatever one wants to call it, never existed. As I wrote at the beginning of the conflict, they expected a war of just a few days based on reports that completely underestimated Iranian capabilities.
Sources speak of disagreement over the military options being presented and over the lack of unity on strategy. There are reports of tension between what the president wants l, -harder military pressure or a quick deal, -and what parts of the team and the commanders consider feasible or advisable.
This climate was already unhealthy after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth carried out a broad purge of the high command, removing or forcing into retirement more than 20 generals and admirals. The justification was not military; it was related to issues of loyalty and alignment with the vision of the new administration.
The fact is that Trump is bothered by the current situation and will have to make important decisions in the coming days.
This is what happens when you have so-called "information" organizations whose sole purpose is views, and do zero research about topics they post about.
The current in Qingdao can be notoriously dangerous and it's literally suicidal for someone to go in the water after dark. People drown there regularly.
This is why municipal lifeguards have put in place a nighttime swimming ban and have invested in these drones (src: https://t.co/PXjsMT467J): far from "big brother" watching you, it's literally a lifeguard trying to make sure you're alive in the morning 🤷♂️
But you of course get far more views when you make the narrative fit the audience instead of the facts...
The most depressing part is that X is setup in such a way that my correction will get a tiny fraction of the reach - which is exactly why accounts like Nexta can keep misinforming.
