بسم الله .. نعلن عن فتحٍ جديد:
"ديوان المتنبّي الرقمي"
فهذا صرح أنهيت -بحمد الله- تشييده، أقمته على ميزان العصر وشروطه، تحرّيت الإحسان في تفاصيله، وقصدت منه تحبيب الأدب في النفوس، وتقريب فهم الشعر إلى محبّيه وشداته.

I’m nearly 50. I don’t use TikTok. I listen to NPR Morning Edition and read the Financial Times daily. I’m a lawyer who has worked on Israel-Palestine issues for the last 20 years. The evidence I’ve seen that Israel committed atrocities including genocide in Gaza is overwhelming.
السيد @nattyray11 يقدم افادات لم تذكر من قبل: قدمنا للحكومة الأمريكية صور دقيقة جدا لما حدث من مجازر في #الجنينة، وحذرنا منذ العام ٢٠٢٣ ان #الامارات و #الجنجويد يسعيان لتطبيق نفس السيناريو في #الفاشر، لكن المجتمع الدولي لم يلتفت إلى تحذيراتنا. وثقنا مجازر #الفاشر ولدينا الأدلة.
The UAE rarely exercises effective control over its surrogates in Libya, Yemen and Sudan while pumping military aid without conditionalities
Abu Dhabi's strategic culture is also about doubling down rather than backing down when facing resistance #AlFashir

Darfur's El Fasher has “descended into an even darker hell,” senior UN officials warned, as the United Arab Emirates-armed Rapid Support Forces militia seized control, forcing tens of thousands to flee amid reports of mass executions, rape and starvation. https://t.co/tL5Az7ZkzZ
Verification of presence of Abdulrahim Dagalo, the deputy commander of the RSF and brother of Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, in El Fasher on 26 October.
This shows that senior commanders were present while the horrific events occurred in El Fasher. 👇
Very insightful and eye-opening piece by Bashir Mohammed @bashir_caato Somalia has turned into a gangster’s playground.
A senior manager at Bosaso’s port revealed for the first time to MEE that, for the past two years, the United Arab Emirates has funnelled over 500,000 containers marked as hazardous through Bosaso.
Unlike standard cargo, which is documented with a letter of origin and destination, these Emirati shipments have no description of their contents. The port manager said that the logistics operations are shrouded in secrecy: upon arrival, the containers are swiftly transferred to the airport and loaded onto standby aircraft.
Security for these shipments is exceptionally tight, MEE’s sources in Bosaso said. When a ship docks, PMPF forces are deployed to cordon off the port and prevent filming. Only personnel on duty are granted access, and they are explicitly warned against recording anything during the offloading and transit process.

الشعور تجاه السودان يجب أن يكون شعور الواجب والنصرة وليس شعور التعاطف السلبي والشفقة،
هذا شعب كريم ومثقف ومعطاء وجزء أصيل من الأمة العربية والإسلامية ويجب أن تكون قضيته، وكارثة غزة، على رأس الأولويات،
الظلم ظلمات، والالتزام الأخلاقي المبدئي يجب أن يكون حاضرا تجاه كل مظلوم في هذا العالم، والأخ القريب والجار القريب على وجه الخصوص،
أهم درس يجب أن تعلمنا إياه تجربة غزة القاسية جدا وتجربة السودان الحالية، أن الحدود الوطنية مكبّلة لكوامن القوة، وأن الأممية حاجة ماسة وعاجلة، وأن إسرائيل تكبر بالدكتاتوريات وتنمو بالأنظمة القمعية الشمولية وتزدهر بالتقسيم وحروبنا الداخلية…!
UAE military supply flights to the RSF militia (via Benghazi & Kufra in Libya & Bosaso & Berbera airports in Somalia) continues at a rapid pace.
3 x Il-76TD observed this morning (EX-76003, EX-76012 & 7Q-ASY)
My take on the UAE-backed slaughter now unfolding in Sudan, and the refusal of the US and others to call out the UAE for its role. This was preventable, but neither Biden nor Trump cared enough to try: https://t.co/ZsBrQ7M5V3 Thank God some members of Congress are speaking up.
🚨US intelligence agencies confirm that UAE has redoubled its weapons supply to the RSF this year. From me: “The war would be over if not for the UAE. The only thing keeping RSF in this war is the overwhelming military support they’re getting from the UAE."https://t.co/D8LZ98p9Yd
Horrifying reports have emerged that the RSF militia in has brutally massacred more than a thousand people in el-Fasher, Sudan.
The RSF is fighting against the government of Sudan and is backed by the UAE.
For the UAE, this is a strategy to secure access to Sudan's gold and agricultural land.
The UAE is a US client state, and must have at least tacit US approval for this proxy war. The UAE must be held accountable for these atrocities, and we need to know the extent of US involvement.
We should hold all outside actors in Sudan, on all sides to account, whether it's the UAE, Egypt, etc. But it's not just Arab states.
What the hell are UK arms doing in RSF militia hands? Why do western countries continue to fuel the arms trade that help fuel these conflicts?
Sudan is facing the world’s worst humanitarian crisis and a genocide. Tens of thousands dead. 12 million displaced.
The images of the RSF seizing El Fasher are horrific.
The UAE and other arms dealers to the RSF and RSF-aligned militias must be held accountable.
🚨 This photo best exemplifies the horror UAE-backed RSF militias are inflicting on the Sudanese people, today.
Footage emerging from the city of Al Fashir surely ranks amongst the worst examples of human rights abuses I have witnessed in my nearly two decades covering war crimes and atrocities for international media outlets.
Women and children rounded up and raped in front of their husbands, fathers and brothers, before being shot or hacked to death and tossed into mass graves.
More than 2,000 Sudanese civilians have been killed this way during the past week alone.
They are being murdered by UAE-backed forces and UK-sold weapons. This is a proxy war to seize control of the African country’s land and resources.
Yet the world is silent!
AI efficiency is important. Today, Google is sharing a technical paper detailing our comprehensive methodology for measuring the environmental impact of Gemini inference. We estimate that the median Gemini Apps text prompt uses 0.24 watt-hours of energy (equivalent to watching an average TV for ~nine seconds), and consumes 0.26 milliliters of water (about five drops) — figures that are substantially lower than many public estimates.
At the same time, our AI systems are becoming more efficient through research innovations and software and hardware efficiency improvements. From May 2024 to May 2025, the energy footprint of the median Gemini Apps text prompt dropped by 33x, and the total carbon footprint dropped by 44x, through a combination of model efficiency improvements, machine utilization improvements and additional clean energy procurement, all while delivering higher quality responses.
See the blog or technical paper for more about our methodology and ongoing efforts.
