[AlAhram] The family of an Afghan boy who gained brief Internet fame after being photographed in a shirt improvised from a plastic bag in the colours of his hero, Argentine soccer idol Lionel Messi, has been forced to flee his home after a Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... attack.
Murtaza Ahmadi, now aged 7, grabbed world headlines two years ago when his brother made him a shirt out of a blue and white plastic bag, with Messi’s name and number 10 playing number.
His sudden fame won him a meeting with his hero but caused problems for his family, members of the Hazara ...a grouping of Dari-speaking people of Sino-Tibetan descent inhabiting Afghanistan and Pakistain. They are predominantly Shia Moslems and not particularly warlike, which makes them favored targets... ethnic minority from Jaghori district in the central province of Ghazni.
"Murtaza became famous around the world and we are not able to walk free and go anywhere. Murtaza and my other children were not able to go to school," his mother Shafiqa Ahmadi said in the home in Kabul where the family is staying.
"During the night suspected men were walking near our house and when the Taliban attacked our village we decided to leave."
Ghazni, about two hours drive south of the capital Kabul, has been the scene of intense fighting this year. The Taliban briefly overran Ghazni city in August and there has been heavy fighting in Jaghori, forcing thousands to flee.
"The security situation is not good and I am afraid to go outside," Murtaza said. "I want to become a footballer like Messi and I want to be able to go to school."
[PULSE.NG] Yemen's Houthis are open to more talks with the rival government if progress is made this week at UN-brokered negotiations in Sweden, a front man said on Sunday.

When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and its allies joined the government fight against the rebels.
The conflict has triggered what the UN calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
"If we leave these consultations having made progress -- progress in building confidence and finding a framework -- we can hold a new round of talks" in the coming months, Huthi front man Mohammed Abdelsalam told news hounds.
Abdelsalam, who heads the rebel delegation, spoke on the sidelines of UN-brokered talks in the rural village of Rimbo, where warring Yemeni parties are gathered.
Among the issues under discussion in Sweden are potential humanitarian corridors, a prisoner swap, the reopening of the defunct Sanaa international airport, and Hodeida, the rebel-held port city at the heart of a government offensive.
Two government delegates on Sunday said their representatives had met face-to-face on the prisoner swap, which had been agreed to by both parties before the Sweden talks.
A UN official confirmed a "committee" meeting on Sunday on the prisoner swap.

[THEGUARDIAN] The Belgian prime minister, Charles Michel, is fighting for his political survival after the Phlegmish nationalist party quit the ruling coalition over his support for a UN migration agreement, leaving him in charge of a minority government.
After the resignation of ministers representing the New Phlegmish Alliance (N-VA), the largest of the coalition’s four parties, Michel was forced to present himself on Sunday to Belgium’s King Philippe.
Michel was given permission to form a minority administration but at a presser later in the day he appealed to MPs in the federal parliament not to force an election.

Anbar (IraqiNews.com) ‐ U.S. forces will establish a new headquarters in western Anbar, a move which is expected to give the Americans a chance to seize control of the border areas with Nineveh, a well-placed municipal official said.
Speaking to Almaalomah news agency on Sunday, member of the Anbar provincial council Mohammed al-Delimy said that American forces have been surprisingly stationed 30 km north of the Euphrates river, a location seen as vital to control the desert areas between Anbar and Nineveh provinces.
Al-Delimy warned that Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... bandidoshard boyz had used the border areas between the two provinces to launch armed attacks against security personnel stationed there.
The U.S. forces are now situated in two camps, one at the Iraqi Tanaf crossing, and the other near the phosphate mines south of Qaem, Anbar, Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... i newspaper quoted officials as saying earlier this year.
Last March, the Iraqi parliament obliged the government to set a timetable for the withdrawal of foreign troops from the country after the military operations against Islamic State bandidoshard boyz ended last December.
The officials noted that those forces contribute to the rehabilitation of Iraqi artillery forces damaged by the war.
The U.S. has led an international coalition backing Iraqi forces against IS since 2014. The Pentagon had said late 2017 it maintained slightly more than 8000 troops in Iraq.

[Jpost] War long ago silenced the words of God that once resounded in the seven abandoned monasteries along the small paved road that leads to Jesus’ baptismal site on the Israeli side of the Jordan River, known as Qasr al Yehud.
Israel shut down the monasteries for safety reasons during the War of Attrition in the aftermath of the 1967 Six Day War, when there were cross-border raids between Israel and Jordan. It declared the area a military zone and planted thousands of land mines there to stop infiltrations from holy warriors and the Jordanian Army.
Now, the Israel National Mines Action Authority, together with the IDF and the international NGO HALO Trust, are in the midst of deactivating some 5,000 land mines spread across 100,000 square meters of land just a few feet away from the Jordanian border.
On Sunday, the IDF and the INMAA gave journalists a rare glimpse of two of the seven buildings that are part of the Land of the Monasteries project that no longer pose a danger: the Franciscan chapel and the Æthiopian monastery. The Greek Orthodox monastery has also been de-mined, but was not part of the tour.
Given the 1994 peace treaty with Jordan and the fact that land mines are no longer part of Israel’s defensive strategy, there is no need for such explosives along the Jordanian border.
"Now, this is a border of peace," INMAA director Marcel Aviv told news hounds as he stood on a small hilltop overlooking the monasteries, presenting the project to news hounds.
Aviv described the work done under the NIS 20 million project to clear land mines, anti-tank mines, booby traps and other unwent kaboom! devices.
The area is still cordoned off from the small single-lane road by rusted barbed wire and signs that state "danger, mines" in English and Hebrew.
The project, which began in 2017, is expected to be finished within the next year or two.
Israel’s National Parks Authority is also working jointly with the churches on whose land the monasteries sit. Israel and the churches want to attract 2.4 million tourists annually to an area already visited by 800,000 people a year, Aviv said.
As he led news hounds through the Franciscan monastery, Land of the Monasteries Project Manager Moshe Hillman showed the bullet and pock marks on the monastery walls.
Fifty years of dust and rubble fill the small rooms lit only by sunlight that streams through the broken windows.
"When we opened the doors we entered a world that no one treaded on for close to 50 years."
"I am talking about bottles of wine that had not been touched," he said. They also found wood crosses and small metal bells.
Everything they found of value was returned to the churches, he said.
Looking at a chair thick with dust, he pointed out the small marks of a bird’s feet. "A bird was the last person to use this chair," he said.
Walking into these buildings, he said, "has been a journey back in time."
[IsraelTimes] Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... has said the Paleostinians will soon dissolve the Paleostinian Legislative Council (PLC), the PA parliament.
Abbas made the remark Saturday evening at a conference at the PA presidential headquarters in Ramallah.
"In a legal manner, we will dissolve the [Paleostinian] Legislative Council and this will occur soon," Abbas said, two people who attended the event told The Times of Israel.
Since the latter half of 2007, the PLC has not convened, essentially becoming defunct. Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, ousted the Fatah-dominated PA in 2007 from the Gazoo Strip.
[IsraelTimes] Iran has more than doubled the number of missile tests it has performed in the past year in possible violation of the 2015 nuclear deal, the German Die Welt daily reports.
In 2018, Tehran test-fired at least seven medium-range missiles and at least five short-range missiles and cruise missiles, according to Die Welt.
The report did not specify whether the missiles were nuclear-capable ballistic weapons, which the Islamic Theocratic Republic was banned from testing as part of the 2015 internationally supported agreement.
