The fact that this came hours after Biden told Netanyahu that Rafah bombing "should not proceed" without securing civilians, shows either tacit complicity, or complete loss of credibility.

‘How can 800-yr-old masjid be an encroachment?’ Mehrauli mosque demolition confounds historians
New Delhi: It was the sound of bulldozers at Akhunji Masjid, a 13th-century mosque in Mehrauli that lay some 400 metres from the Qutub Minar, that woke up Imam Zakir Hussain at the crack of dawn Tuesday. “There were a total of 10 bulldozers,” Hussain, who’s been associated with the mosque for 14 years.

Before he returned from Europe last year, we talked a lot. He knew that something like that would happen. But he had to continue the work he is now doing for years. We met in Gulberg Society in 2012: he has not changed. Such a wonderful man. Courage Hashr! https://t.co/gyqxWyGmTG

A terrible start to 2024 in Brazil: two Yanomami men have been shot dead by goldminers. Their dismembered bodies were found by relatives.
Killings, rape and other violence have become commonplace since the gold rush on Yanomami land which took place under Bolsonaro.

🇳🇪 Niger decides to nationalize the water sector

The Nigerien government has decided to nationalize the exploitation of its drinking water, ending its contract with the French company Veolia and its subsidiary the Niger Water Exploitation Company (SEEN), after adoption in the Council of Ministers of a draft decree of the statutes of the new State Company called “Nigerian Waters”.

The leasing contract expired on December 31. After a little more than 22 years of partnership, it is Nigerien des Eaux which takes over from SEEN to ensure the operation, production and distribution of drinking water in all urban and semi-urban centers of the country.

The purpose of this draft decree is therefore to satisfy this requirement and thus enable Nigerien des Eaux to have the organizational and operating rules to accomplish its missions.
