Afghanistan
Daily Evacuation Brief December 11, 2022
[AfghanDigest] LAST 24 HOURS
  • JAPAN DISCUSSES ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN AFGHANISTAN – Japan’s Ambassador, Takashi Okada, signaled that his country was in talks with many in the international community to take the lead on the economic development front with the de facto regime in Kabul. It is not clear which states may sign onto any compact Japan proposes but the international community seems to prefer using models that put a nation-state on point for specific areas of concern when dealing with the Taliban.

  • WINTER PREPARATIONS – As the days grow colder, most humanitarian-focused agencies have been putting the finishing touches on their plans to keep people alive over the coming winter. The Taliban announced that their plans to provide support for citizens are complete but few believe they have prepared much of anything and will instead rely on habitual international responding agencies to provide support across the country. A source in the Ministry of Transportation says the Taliban has only established limited stockpiles in Kabul and Kandahar while other Provinces have been left to fend for themselves.

  • LIMITED TALIBAN SECURITY OPERATIONS MOUNTED IN TAKHAR AND PARTS OF PANJSHIR – Presumably, in response to a successful Resistance attack in the Province that killed several Taliban fighters and wounded many more, Taliban patrols have been doubled in certain areas and local eyewitnesses report that additional vehicles and personnel have been seen at many of the checkpoints in the towns and cities. Helicopters were filmed to be operating in Panjshir for a short amount of time but the poor visibility soon saw them return to their bases. It is not clear who the Taliban are hunting but it seems to involve several hundred fighters across the two Provinces.

  • MINISTRY OF REFUGEES SENDS ENVOY TO IRAN – In response to a large volume of complaints, the Taliban has dispatched the Deputy Ministery for Refugees and Repatriation to Iran yesterday. His mission will be to speak with Afghan refugees in Iran about their experiences and then liaise with his Iranian counterparts about the reportedly poor conditions for Afghans sheltering there.


NEXT 24 HOURS
  • HEAVY RAIN/SNOW IN FORECAST – Western Afghanistan will see a storm system move into the region that is expected to drop up to 8 centimeters of rain and significant snowfall at higher elevations. Flood warnings have been issued and travel in these Provinces is discouraged.

  • CENTRAL BANK AUCTION – DAB intends to auction $14 million dollars tomorrow to stabilize the national currency.

in a planned operation.

The Somali government said in a statement that the operation took place in the Dhabaq-Libey area under the Aden Yabal district in the Middle Shabelle region.

The SNA boss General Odowaa Yusuf Rage, told the media that the miitants were killed as they were gathering to attack Aden Yabal district which fell to the army’s hands last week.

Al-Shabaab commanders kill over 100 wounded fellow fighters in Somalia
[Garowe] In a bizarre incident, al-Shabaab
...... Somalia's version of the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda...

holy warriors within Somalia are said to have butchered over 100 fellow maimed fighters as they fled from Adan Yabal town in central Somalia after the Somalia National Army [SNA] and allied forces made significant strides last week.

Buoyed by the support from the US Africa Command, the African Union
...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful...
Transition Mission in Somalia [ATMIS], and local militia, the SNA soldiers have been making advances in areas traditionally occupied by al-Shabaab bad boys, in what the country terms a "significant victory".

Somalia's government believes that after the government troops made an entry into Adan Yabal town, the holy warriors who opted to flee from the town may have decided to kill over 100 colleague fighters who had been maimed following a heavy fight with the national army.

Investigations conducted by the army paint a picture of several holy warriors whose bodies were recovered in a mass grave by the bad boys. Most of the bodies, the government said, had serious injuries perhaps which made it impossible for them to run away.

"The federal government of Somalia condemns the recent human rights
One man's rights are another man's existential threat.
abuses committed by Khawarij in the Adan Yabal district. These acts are outside Islam, humanity and Somali culture," the government said in a press statement.

According to the Somali National Army, it has already deployed doctors to Adan Yabal town to provide medical assistance to maimed fighters on both sides. However,
some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves...
they were alarmed to find pits filled with bodies, and the smell of rotten flesh consumed the area.

The al-Shabaab holy warriors have been suffering immense losses in the country, particularly in Lower Shabelle and Hiiraan regions where the government troops have been targeting. Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre claimed over 600 al-Shabaab holy warriors have been killed following a crackdown instigated by the government.

Nigerian Police, Others Stop Shi’ites Peaceful Procession In Kaduna
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

A combined armed security team has stopped a procession by members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria,
......why they’re still running around is beyond me, given that Nigeria declared them a terror group in 2019. Their big turban is Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, previously the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Nigeria before he converted to Shi'ism after a visit to Iran, becoming a fiery Iranian sock puppet. Like the Muslim Brotherhood, IMN’s spinoffs, including Boko Haram/ISWAP, are much more violent...
otherwise known as Shi’ites in Kaduna State.

The Shi’ites were said to be conducting birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

Members of the sect had gathered in Maƙarfi Local Government Area of the state to begin the procession on Saturday morning when armed security personnel moved in to disperse them.

Thereafter, there was a heavy security patrol across the main streets of the town in a move believed to check any possible threat to law and order.

"The murderous joint security forces on Saturday hunted followers of Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky in Maƙarfi LGA in Kaduna State, Nigeria by preventing them from conducting birth anniversary of the Noble Prophet Muhammad (PTUI!)," a source told SaharaReporters.

The Nigerian government had proscribed the group after one of its protests turned violent mostly peaceful.

The government accused the group of killing a police officer and a journalist, but has yet to show evidence backing that claim.

Suspect in 1988 Pan Am 103 explosion that killed 270 people taken into custody by US
[ABC] Nearly 34 years after 270 people, including 190 Americans, died in the mid-air bombing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, the Libyan intelligence officer accused of building the explosive device has been taken into custody by the United States to face justice, federal officials told ABC News.

Abu Agila Mas'ud will face criminal charges in the United States for his suspected role in the deadliest terror attack on British soil and among the largest involving Americans, according to a spokesperson for the Department of Justice.

The United States has charged Mas’ud with building the device used to blow up the Boeing 747 about 38 minutes after it took off from London's Heathrow Airport en route to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. The flight originally started in Frankfurt, Germany, and was scheduled to end in Detroit after it stopped in New York.

Among those killed were 35 Syracuse University students returning home for the holidays after a semester studying abroad.

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] The court sentenced Bulat Gamzatov, a native of Makhachkala, to 15.5 years in prison, recognizing him as the organizer of a cell of a terrorist organization whose members planned attacks on security forces in Stavropol.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on February 7, 2021, it became known that security forces had detained five alleged members of a cell of the Islamic State terrorist organization in the Stavropol Territory.

By a court decision, Bulat Gamzatov was sentenced to 15.5 years in a strict regime colony with the first three years in prison, the press service of the Southern District Military Court reported today.

Gamzatov was charged under five articles of the Criminal Code: participation in a terrorist organization, recruiting into it, creating a terrorist community, preparing to create an illegal armed group and preparing to encroach on the life of a security official.

According to the court, in January 2021, Gamzatov swore allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State terrorist organization*, recording the oath on his mobile phone and sending the video file to a member of this organization, and then in Makhachkala convinced two acquaintances to join the terrorist organization.

“In addition, the defendant created a terrorist community with other persons and took over its leadership. In the same month, Gamzatov persuaded two of his other acquaintances to participate in the terrorist community and in the activities of the MTO IS, and also continued to correspond with a member of the MTO IS," who promised to inform the places of hidden storage of firearms," ​​the message on the court's telegram channel says.

On February 1, 2021, Gamzatov and his alleged accomplices left for Stavropol to create an illegal armed group and assassinate security officials, the court decided. But on February 2, they were detained on the territory of the Stavropol Territory. "The verdict has not entered into force and can be appealed by the parties to the Military Court of Appeal," the report says.

4 IS-K terrorists killed in joint operation near Pak-Afghan border: CTD
[Dawn] The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) and security forces on Saturday killed four Lions of Islam — allegedly belonging to the murderous Moslem Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group — in a mountainous area near the Pak-Afghan border in North Wazoo.

According to a CTD blurb, the Lions of Islam from the group’s Khorasan chapter (IS-K) were killed in retaliatory fire by a team conducting an intelligence-based joint operation upon receiving a tip-off that the Lions of Islam were crossing the border.

The CTD stated that two hand grenades, two Kalashnikov rifles, six magazine storages, two pistols and dozens of cartridges along with Pak currency, identification documents and other valuables were recovered from the terrorists.

Among the slain Lions of Islam were the IS-K’s local commander Mohammad Dawood Yaqoob, Abdullah Khan and Mohammad Laiq Piauddin. A fourth terrorist could not be identified.

The murderous Moslems, the CTD said, were wanted for being involved in several assassinations, kabooms and attacks on security forces.

It also mentioned that two of the Lions of Islam managed to cross the border and escaped.

THE OPERATION
The CTD of the Bannu region in KP received an alert last night that a formation of IS-K Lions of Islam had planned to cross the Pak-Afghan border with the intention of causing terrorist activities.

The CTD statement added that upon confirmation, its special team and security forces launched a security operation in the mountainous area of Dardoni in North Waziristan near the Pak-Afghan border and surrounded the area.

When six suspicious gunnies attempted to cross the border to enter Pakistain’s territory, a clash took place between the IS-K Lions of Islam and the security forces. The Lions of Islam opened fire, to which the CTD and security forces responded.

The CTD stated that an hour after the exchange of fire, a search and clearance operation was conducted in which four Lions of Islam were found to be dead.

The operation team did not suffer any loss of life, the blurb added.
According to a statement issued by the CTD on Saturday, the operation was conducted near the border area where gunnies identified as commander Mohammad Daud, son of Mohammad Yaqoob, Abdullah, son of Khan Gul, and Mohammad Laiq, son of Piyao Din, were killed. The identity of the fourth slain terrorist could not be ascertained.

It said that all gunnies belonged to Dai'sh and were involved in terrorist activities, assassination, hand grenade attacks, kabooms and attacks on security forces.

Two hand grenades, as many Kalashnikovs with six magazines, two pistols, dozens of cartridges, identity cards, Pak currency, different types of cards, watches and other items were recovered from the possession of the slain terrorists.

According to details, the Bannu region CTD received information at night that a Da’ish IS-KP terrorist formation was planning to cross into Pakistain from the Afghanistan border and carry out terrorist attacks.

After confirming the information, a CTD special team and security forces immediately got ready and organised an IBO near the Pak-Afghan border hilly area in Dardoni within the limits of Ghulam Khan cop shoppe in North Wazoo district’s boundary.

As per the report, six suspected armed farmers, who looked like terrorists, crossed the border and entered the Pak territory.

An encounter ensued as gunnies on sighting the CTD personnel and security forces started firing.

The CTD and security forces personnel who were present with pre-planning also fired in retaliation.

The firing continued for an hour and as soon as it stopped, a search and clearance operation was carried out and four gunnies were found dead while other gunnies managed to escape by crossing the border.

The IBO was safe from any loss of life due to pre-planning and excellent policing tactics.

The killed gunnies were also involved in the kaboom at Wazir cop shoppe.

NIA puts up posters in Kashmir seeking information about 4 militants
[Daily Excelsior] The National Investigation Agency has put up posters in many parts of Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
seeking information about four turbans of The Resistance® Front (TRF), a front organization of the proscribed terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba
...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI...
, officials said on Saturday.

The four Death Eaters, including two Pak nationals, are wanted by the NIA in connection with a conspiracy to radicalise, motivate and recruit youths of Jammu and Kashmir to carry out violence in India. The probe agency has already announced a cash reward of Rupees 10 lakh for each of the four Death Eaters.

Officials said the posters seek information about Pak nationals Saleem Rehmani alias ’Abu Saad’ of Nawab Shah, Sindh, and Saifullah Sajid Jatt of Shangamanga in Kasur, and their local associates Sajjad Gul of Srinagar and Basit Ahmad Dar of Redwani Payeen in south Kashmir’s Kulgam district.

The NIA has given its email address, phone numbers and WhatsApp and Telegram numbers as well for the public to share the information. It has assured people that the identity of the informer shall be kept secret.

JeM militant commander Ashiq Nengroo's house demolished in J&K's Pulwama
[Daily Excelsior] The residence of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) militant commander Ashiq Nengroo was demolished by the authorities in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district on Saturday, officials said.

The two-storey house at New Colony in Rajpora had come up on state land, the official claimed. It was demolished by the district administration in the presence of police.

Nengroo is a wanted JeM commander and an accused in the 2019 Pulwama attack in which 40 CRPF personnel were killed.

In April this year, the central government declared Nengroo as a “designated terrorist” under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

In a notification, the Union home ministry said Nengroo has been involved in the infiltration of terrorists into Jammu and Kashmir and has also been responsible for perpetrating various terror incidents in the Union Territory.

He is running a terror syndicate in Kashmir and is now “engaged in a perilous campaign to orchestrate terror in Jammu and Kashmir”, remote controlled from Pakistan, the ministry had said.

Meanwhile, militant outfit The Resistance Front (TRF) opposed the demolition of the house and threatened officials and police personnel with dire consequences.

Police officials, however, sought to downplay the threats issued by TRF, a shadow outfit of the JeM, saying this was a desperate attempt by the terrorists who had been cornered.

The Cell also reported that the Iraqi F-16 warplanes struck a cave intensively in Alton Kupri in Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
where ISIS elements were hidden.

Iraq celebrates the fifth anniversary of liberation and victory over ISIS this December.
Rudaw reports what appear to be the same operation happening in a different province:
Iraqi security forces on Saturday said they had killed six suspected Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) members including two jacket wallahs in Salahaddin province, on the same day that Iraq declared victory against the terror group five years ago.

Six ISIS suspects, including two suicide bombers, were killed in an Iraqi army operation in northwestern Salahaddin province, Iraqi state media cited the country’s Security Media Cell as saying, adding that a local shepherd lost his life in the festivities.

In November, Iraq launched the eighth phase of an ongoing operation targeting ISIS remnants in djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, two months after the seventh phase was launched in Salahaddin and Diyala.

Iraq in September announced the killing of Abu Fatima, the military commander of the group in Salahaddin province, and described him as one of the "dangerous terrorists" that had "participated in terrorist attacks against security forces and civilians."

German Molecular Biologist Unveils Concept of World's First Artificial Womb Facility Which Can Incubate up to 30,000 Lab-Grown Babies a Year (VIDEO)
[Gateway] On Friday, a German molecular biologist by trade unveiled a new concept for the world’s first artificial womb facility, EctoLife, which could incubate up to 30,000 babies a year.

"My new concept will be unveiled early December, something that I have been working on for a while," said Hashem Al-Ghaili in November. "The new concept relies on over 50 years of groundbreaking scientific research."

Hashem Al-Ghaili is a molecular biologist, producer, filmmaker, and science communicator based in Berlin, Germany.

EctoLife, which operates solely on renewable energy, enables infertile couples to conceive and become the biological parents of their own offspring.

"It’s a perfect solution for women who had their uterus surgically removed due to cancer or other complications. With EctoLife, premature births and C-sections will be a thing of the past. EctoLife is designed to help countries that are suffering from severe population decline, including Japan, Bulgaria, South Korea, and many others," according to its press release.

"According to the World Health Organization, around 300,000 women die from pregnancy complications. EctoLife artificial womb is designed to alleviate human suffering and reduce the chances of C-sections," Hashem wrote.

#8  The science fiction author Lois McMaster Bujold in her Barryar series and associated works centered on artificial wombs, human 'genetic genetic engineering' and the like -- while having some great action.

If the 'artificial womb' becomes economically practical will most abortions be considered murder one wonders.
