On this #VictimsofTerrorism Day, we pay tribute to victims & survivors. We honour their courage, amplify their voices & reaffirm our commitment to their dignity & rights.
Instead of letting terror divide us, we must stay united to build a future free from violence & fear.
For generations, Palestine refugees have counted on @UNRWA for support & essential services.
UNRWA is essential to preserving the humanitarian conditions necessary for a just & lasting political solution with two States – Israel & Palestine – living side by side in peace & security.
I urge countries to sustain UNRWA’s vital work to address the needs of Palestine refugees, uphold international responsibility, and help a volatile region find its way to a just & peaceful future.
Spain 🇪🇸 now allows the call to prayer/azan from mosques via loudspeakers in several cities, under laws that protect freedom of worship.*
This is a sight that reflects religious coexistence and respect for Muslims' right to perform their rituals, as the azan can be heard in several areas of Spain, just like in many countries around the world.
After centuries of Islamic history in Andalusia, the sound of the azan is still heard in parts of Spain. 🕌☪️
🚨 Iran just changed the rules of the Middle East in a single night..
for decades the equation was simple.. Israel hits Iran.. Iran hits back..
that was the line..
tonight Iran crossed a different line entirely..
Israel struck Beirut's southern suburbs on June 7.. killed 2.. wounded 12.. Lebanese territory.. not Iranian soil..
Iran fired ballistic missiles at Ramat David Air Base near Haifa anyway..
and here's the part nobody's connecting..
this is the first time in modern history that a regional power has put hard military force against an Israeli strike on a THIRD country..
not Iran.. Lebanon..
that means every Israeli military planner just woke up to a new map..
before today: strike Lebanon, Iran watches..
after today: strike Lebanon, Iran shoots..
the IRGC said it plainly.. "if aggressions are repeated, responses will be broader and will encompass all American-Zionist targets in the region"..
Trump called Netanyahu immediately and urged him not to retaliate.. too close to a deal to blow it up..
Netanyahu held off.. for now..
but the battle lines just moved.. and no ceasefire agreement written before June 7 accounts for what Iran just proved it's willing to do.
the rules only apply until you're the one making them.
I'll keep you updated as this unfolds, turn on notifications this is EXTREMELY important.

Bombing hospitals is not a mistake.
It’s not ‘collateral damage.’
It’s a war crime.
And the US & Israeli regimes dropping the bombs know exactly what they’re doing.
When hospitals become targets,
humanity becomes the victim.

On March 25, National Genocide Day, we pay our deepest respect to all the martyrs. The events of this day in 1971 stand not only as a tragedy for a single nation, but as a symbol of brutal state violence against the people of this region and against the very ideals of humanity.
The Pakistani military junta’s ‘Operation Searchlight’ was a calculated campaign of mass killing, aimed at silencing the voices, dignity, and identity of the Bengali people.
On that dark night, unarmed civilians were subjected to indiscriminate slaughter across the country most notably in the residential halls of Dhaka University, Rajarbagh Police Lines, and the EPR headquarters in Pilkhana. Women, children, the elderly, and minority communities were not spared from the brutality.
The objective of this genocide was to crush the people’s aspiration for freedom. Yet, it failed. Instead, that very night ignited a resistance that grew into a determined struggle, ultimately culminating in independence.
On this solemn day, we renew our commitment to uphold the spirit of the liberation war by building a just, humane, and equitable Bangladesh. Beyond all divisions of party and opinion, we pledge to work together in unity toward that vision.
We pray for the eternal peace of the souls of the martyrs.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Qatar are discussing withdrawing from contracts with the U.S. and canceling future investment commitments in the U.S..
Trillions of dollars will be pulled out. The USA has failed to protect the interests of their allies and the allies are not happy anymore with them either. The Arabs stood with their friend America, but sadly, America has hurt the Arab states needlessly, childishly and burned the bridge.
#آج_کے_دن 1478 میں، جارج، ڈیوک آف کلیرنس، کو ٹاور آف لندن میں موت کی سزا دی گئی۔ اس پر اپنے ہی بھائی، بادشاہ ایڈورڈ چہارم کے خلاف غداری کا الزام تھا۔
کلیرنس کو ہمیشہ غلط دشمن بنانے کی عادت تھی۔ پہلے اس نے وار آف دی روزز میں اپنے بھائی ایڈورڈ کے خلاف بغاوت کی،
اس کی موت کا طریقہ تاریخ کے عجیب ترین رازوں میں سے ایک ہے۔ عام سر قلم کرنے کے بجائے روایت ہے کہ اسے مالمسی شراب کے ایک بڑے پیپے میں ڈبو کر مارا گیا۔ بعد میں شیکسپیئر نے اس کہانی کو مشہور کر دیا۔ یہ سچ ہو یا نہ ہو، مگر یہ انجام اس شخص کے لیے عجیب طور پر موزوں تھا
