Eisenkot (n) – surname, orig. North Africa

From Berber aznkʷḍ (“gazelle; young noble man”). Compare Moroccan Arabic أز��كض (ʔazenkaḍ), إزنكاض (ʔizenkāḍ)

Spelling likely distorted by clerks upon immigrants' arrival in Israel due to similarity to German/Yiddish "eisen" (iron)

يُظهر هذا الفيديو، من مسافة قريبة جداً، تفاصيل ما حدث من قتل المستوطنين الإسرائيليين أربعةَ شبان فلسطينيين من عائلة واحدة في قرية تل غرب نابلس، حاولوا الدفاع عن أنفسهم وعن قريتهم ومنازلهم بعد أن هاجمهم المستوطنون بالسلاح. حيث بدأ المستوطنون إطلاق النار عليهم من مسافة قريبة، فسحب فلسطيني السلاحَ من أحدهم ودافع عن نفسه وعن أقاربه وأطلق النار عليهم قبل أن يُستشهد هو أيضاً.

وفي النهاية في الرواية الإسرائيلية، أصبح الفلسطيني هو من يتحمل المسؤولية لأنه دافع عن نفسه.

Senegal is becoming a perfect case study of what happens when revolutionary politics finally meets the realities of governing.

It’s easy to unite people against a system.
It’s much harder to run the economy, negotiate debt, satisfy voters and still maintain the purity of the movement.

A lot of liberation-style movements in Africa struggle once they transition from opposition to government because charisma and slogans eventually collide with budgets, IMF pressure and state institutions.

That’s exactly what we’re watching in Senegal right now.

The Meknes Declaration for Human Rights 1777 A Historical Event Ahead of Its Time:

Article One:
The redemption of captives—both Muslim and Christian—shall be conducted on the basis of one head for one head: a Muslim in exchange for a Christian, and a Christian in exchange for a Muslim. Nothing more shall be added by either side.

Article Two:
If you hold captives with us while you have no Muslim captives with you to redeem your brothers, or if we hold captives with you while we have none of your people to redeem our captives, then the side that has no captives shall pay one hundred large riyals for each captive. All captives are equal; no distinction shall be made between rich and poor, nor shall any rank or status be considered.

Article Three:
At the beginning of each year, the redemption of captives shall be carried out in the manner described above: one for one if captives exist on both sides, or one hundred riyals for each captive on the side that has none. No captive shall remain in captivity for more than one year. If a captive is held by any subject of the realm, the Sultan shall compel that subject to redeem him according to the said terms.

Article Four:
An elder who has passed seventy years of age, and any woman whatsoever—whether old or young—shall not be subject to capture by anyone, and they shall not be taken as captives.

Article Five:
Any ship carrying provisions—which means wheat, barley, rice, and all grains (condiments such as oil, ghee, meat, and honey are not considered provisions)—whether these provisions are carried from Muslim lands or Christian lands, shall not be interfered with by any Muslim or Christian. For it may be bound for a starving people, and if they are prevented from receiving these provisions, they will perish, causing the destruction of a group of God’s creatures. Our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “There is a reward for every living being with a moist liver.”
If a provision ship also carries money or merchandise, the money and merchandise may be taken, but the ship itself, its crew, and the provisions shall not be molested by anyone.

يقول الباحث Samuel Llano، وهو باحث في الموسيقى ومؤرخ ثقافي متخصص في الدراسات العابرة للحدود، واللقاءات الاستعمارية، والعرق، والثقافات الحضرية، ويشغل منصب أستاذ مشارك في الدراسات الثقافية الإسبانية بجامع�� University of Manchester، في كتابه The Empire of the Ear: Music, Race, and the Sonic Architecture of Colonial Morocco:

“تُعتبر الموسيقى الأندلسية اليوم واحدة من أبرز الأنماط الموسيقية المركزية في المغرب الكبير، حيث تُعد فروعها المختلفة، مثل المالوف في تونس، والغرناطي في الجزائر، والآلة في المغرب، رموزًا وطنية مميزة.

غير أن الأنماط الموسيقية التي يُشار إليها عادة باسم “الموسيقى الأندلسية” لم تكن دائمًا تُعتبر مستقلة أو متميزة، كما أنها لم تكن تاريخيًا مرتبطة بالأندلس، أي بإيبيريا الإسلامية في العصور الوسطى.

وبينما وُجد الشكل المركزي للموسيقى الأندلسية، أي “النوبة”، منذ القرن الثامن عشر على الأقل، فإن فكرة ربطها بالأندلس لم تظهر إلا في أواخر القرن التاسع عشر.

وفي الواقع، فإن تسمية “الموسيقى الأندلسية” نفسها تُعد اختراعًا استعماريًا، صاغه باحثون فرنسيون مرتبطون بمؤسسات استعمارية في الجزائر وتونس والمغرب.

وقد تبنّى مسؤولو الحماية الإسبانية في المغرب لاحقًا هذا “الاختراع”، إذ أقاموا — مثل نظرائهم الفرنسيين — روابط مصطنعة بين التراث الموسيقي المغربي والأندلس، كوسيلة لتبرير الاستعمار.

ولم يتوقع الفرنسيون ولا الإسبان أن تصنيف التراثات الموسيقية الم��اربية بوصفها “موسيقى أندلسية” سيُعزز لاحقًا الإحساس بالملكية والانتماء، ويُولد نوعًا من التماسك بين المغاربة وشعوب المغرب الكبير.

ومن خلال تغذية النزعة الوطنية وتهيئة الطريق للاستقلال، تحوّل اختراع “الموسيقى الأندلسية” — من حيث لا يقصد الاستعمار — إلى مشروع مقاوم للاستعمار بقدر ما كان مشروعًا داعمًا له.”

Facial reconstruction based on skh001, a 6,400-year-old woman from Skhirat-Rouazi, Morocco

The individual was buried in a supine position with slight rightward lateralization, oriented north–south. The head was in anterior and right lateral flexion, originally directed upward and slightly toward the northeast. The body was tightly arranged: upper limbs close to the torso, with the right forearm flexed toward the face and the left arm extended toward the pelvis. The lower limbs were strongly flexed (heels near the buttocks), likely due to constraints of the burial pit.

At least four ceramic vessels were present in the burial: one complete vessel placed on the pelvis, with others intentionally broken and deposited around the abdominal and lumbar regions. Additional fragments in the thoracic area derive from these vessels. A pebble was found near the left elbow. The fill consisted of reddish silty sediment with localized gray-black deposits (possibly manganese or ash).

She was approximately 158 cm tall and carried mtDNA haplogroup M1a1b. Her autosomal DNA was mainly composed of Levant_N-like and Natufian-like ancestry, with some, likely local, Iberomaurusian component.

There is a verse in the Qur’an that literally teaches us the words for moments like these:

[Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡ @shanaka86]

In 1974, Henry Kissinger brokered a deal with Saudi Arabia: price your oil in dollars, recycle the surplus into US Treasuries, and America guarantees your security. The arrangement was never a formal treaty. It was a handshake backed by aircraft carriers. For fifty years, every barrel of oil sold anywhere on earth created demand for the dollar that financed America’s debt. The system required two things to function: Gulf oil priced in dollars, and an American navy guaranteeing the strait through which that oil flowed. Both conditions held until February 28, 2026.

Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz. Not physically but operationally, by mining approaches, attacking tankers, and establishing an IRGC toll booth that vets vessels, charges in yuan or stablecoins, and escorts approved ships through the Larak corridor. Traffic collapsed 95 percent. The oil that still flows does not flow in dollars. It flows in yuan, settled through CIPS, paid to an organisation the United States designated as a terrorist group. Iran has exported over 11.7 million barrels to China since the war began, all in the currency of a country that claims neutrality. The petrodollar is not being challenged by a BRICS policy paper. It is being challenged by a toll booth.

The United States holds $39 trillion in gross national debt. That debt is serviceable because foreign governments buy Treasuries. Foreign governments buy Treasuries because they accumulate dollars. They accumulate dollars because oil is priced in dollars. If oil stops being priced in dollars, the demand that finances the debt weakens. Saudi Arabia’s Treasury holdings fell to $134.8 billion in January 2026, down $14.7 billion in a single month. The Saudis let the 1974 agreement lapse in June 2024 without renewal. The recycling loop that Kissinger built is loosening at the same moment that the strait through which it operated is controlled by a hostile military collecting tolls in a rival currency.

This is what the war is about. Not the nuclear programme, which was the stated justification. Not the missiles, which are the visible weapons. The war is about which currency buys the molecule that powers the global economy, and the answer to that question is being determined at a 34-kilometre chokepoint by an entity that charges admission in yuan. Every American strike on Iranian infrastructure degrades the capability to maintain the toll. Every barrel of Iranian oil sold to China in yuan during the war demonstrates the toll’s viability. The strikes and the sales are running simultaneously. The petrodollar and its replacement are being tested in the same theatre at the same time.

Trump’s Tuesday deadline is the enforcement mechanism. “Power Plant Day” is not about punishing Iran for closing the strait. It is about ensuring that when the strait reopens, the oil flows in dollars and the $39 trillion remains financeable. The F-35 sales to the UAE and Saudi Arabia are not arms deals. They are petrodollar anchors, binding Gulf security to American hardware that requires American currency. The rescue proved reach. The strikes prove capability. The F-35 contracts prove commitment. And the toll booth proves that all of it might not be enough.

The 1974 handshake held for fifty years. The 2026 toll booth has operated for five weeks. The question the deadline answers tonight is whether fifty years of dollar dominance or five weeks of yuan experimentation determines what comes next.
