[ToloNews] The governor of Uruzgan, Assadullah Saeed, says that at least "80 percent" of legal cases in the southern province are assessed and decided by the Taliban ...Arabic for students... ‐ due to an absence of judiciaries and courts in most districts of the province.
But the governor did not elaborate more on the number and type of the cases. He suggested that most of them are criminal cases.
He also said that the residents are referring their cases to the Taliban.
Information by multiple local officials reveal that judiciaries do not operate in most districts of Uruzgan, which has five districts ‐instead, their employees are operating from the center of Uruzgan or from Kabul. Khas Uruzgan, Choora, Shaheed Hassas, Gizab and Dehraood are the five districts of Uruzgan. The city of Tarinkot is its center.
"At least 80 percent of our problems are decided by the Taliban because we (the local government) are not present there," the governor said, referring to legal cases. "We continue our efforts to send the police chief and other officials to the districts if we can. It is certain that there are problems."
The governor meanwhile asked the Attorney General’s Office to address this problem and to provide the people access to judiciaries.
The Attorney General’s Office in Uruzgan admitted the problem but said a delegation has been sent to the districts for assessing the security situation there.
"We are assessing our attorneys in the center and we often ask them to report to us about their activities," said Wahiddudin Arghoon, deputy head of the Attorney General’s Office in Uruzgan. "Insecurity is a main challenge that impedes the real implementation of justice."

Donkey cart lawsuits and statutory rapes cases I'm guessing. Can't be divorces all a husband has to do is say I divorce you three times and she's gone. No alimony.
Jamshed Javeed, 30, plotted to travel from Manchester to Syria to join ISIS
Given an extended sentence but Parole Board cleared him for mid-term release
Officials have now confirmed he has already been released on licence
The Government is desperately trying to pass a new law to stop any more gunnies being freed from prison automatically by setting up a specialist Parole Board panel to review cases eligible for release.
Lawyers are gearing up to fight the proposals, set to be put before the House of Commons next week, arguing that the rules cannot be imposed retrospectively on criminals already sentenced.
The urgent legislation was put in motion after the London Bridge attack, which saw released Jihadi prisoner Usman Khan kill two Cambridge graduates in November last year.
Javeed was poised to travel to the war-torn state in late 2013 but his family hid his passport in a desperate attempt to thwart his plans.
Despite learning his wife was pregnant, the teacher - who taught 11 to 16-year-olds in Bolton - persisted with his plan after helping his younger brother make the trip.
But he was arrested hours before he was set to leave the UK.
A target of February 27 has been set to rush the Bill through Parliament as police chiefs warned that the threat of terrorism is 'not diminishing'.
It is understood Sunderland shopkeeper Mohammed Zahir Khan is due to be released on February 28, while around five other gunnies are expected to be let out in March unless the new law is in force.

• Observation points will continue their work in Idlib.
• If negotiations with Moscow fail and the Syrian army does not leave Idlib before the end of February, then Ankara will act on its own security strategy.

Look out! It's the Ottoman slap act,
Performed with an autocrat's tact,
But don't turn your back
When he fakes an attack
Or his impact is sure to impact!
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte will end the Visiting Forces Agreement that underpins U.S. military training exercises with the country's troops, one of his top advisers announced Friday.
"The president said he is terminating the VFA," Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said on Friday. "I asked for clarification, and he said he is not changing his decision."
That choice is another blow to the relationship between the United States and the Philippines, which has suffered for years from disputes over Duterte’s human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... record. The belligerent president announced a plan to terminate the deal, which provides legal protection to U.S. troops who visit the island for military drills, after the State Department reportedly canceled the visa of a political ally and former police chief who is suspected of involvement in extrajudicial killings.
"I'm warning you ... if you won't do the correction on this, I will terminate the ... Visiting Forces Agreement," Duterte said late last month. "I'll end that son of a bitch."
Lorenzana argued against scrapping the agreement in a legislative hearing on Thursday, emphasizing that the pact is "more beneficial" to the Philippines "compared to any benefits" that might seem to come from ending it.
"Our contribution to regional defense is anchored in our military alliance with the world's last superpower," he told politicians.
Any weakening of the U.S.-Philippine alliance is a cause for celebration in Beijing, as U.S. officials believe that China is pursuing a plan to dominate the Indo-Pacific region and ultimately challenge the U.S. as a global power.
The Philippines have an important role to play in countering that effort because they are one of the countries with the legal standing to contest China’s claim to illusory sovereignty over the South China Sea, a vital international shipping lane.

Well, considering the high-handed and contemptuous way that the State Department has treated the Philippines, it's no wonder.
And why do they need special treatment anyway? Shouldn't we just tell them "don't commit crimes in a foreign country, and if you do all we're going to give you is an outdated list of local lawyers and then sayonara"? It's exactly what the State Department does for Americans abroad.

It's exactly what the State Department does for Americans abroad.
It’s common knowledge among expats, Skidmark. And not just those who fall afoul of the law — when Mr. Wife was suddenly struck down with amœbic dysentery in Bhopal, it was thanks to the local organization of his multinational employer that he didn’t die his hotel room or an anonymous Indian hospital, but got the best specialist on the subject to supervise his treatment. The State Department would not have been interested in intervening for a mere mid-level company man.
Or when the brother of an acquaintance disappeared while on a Caribbean vacation, the local embassy attacked the family rather than ask the police to search — and continued for years to block the family’s attempt to go down and find out what happened. They still don’t know, and in the process discovered this is a common State Department response.
[LI] Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday urged Muslim countries to support Palestinian "jihad" against Israel and the United States.
He called for "bold resistance by the Palestinian nation and groups in order to force out the Zionist enemy and the U.S. through jihad." He also urged "[A]ll Muslim nations and the world of Islam must support them too."
Khamenei reiterated his support for all Arab and jihadi groups waging a terror campaign against Israel, vowing to give them everything within the regime’s reach. Tehran already arms and funds the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Gaza-based terrorist group Hamas. Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based terror militia, which targets Israeli soldiers and civilians along Israel’s northern border, is a proxy terrorist group taking direct orders from Tehran.
"We believe that Palestinian armed organizations will stand and continue resistance and the Islamic Republic sees supporting Palestinian groups as its duty," Khamenei said in his speech marking the 41st anniversary of the Islamic takeover of Iran. "So it will support them however it can and as much as it can and this support is the desire of the Islamic system and the Iranian nation," he added.
The Times of Israel news website reported Khamenei’s latest remarks:

Hello. under actual fundamentalist rule of islam they would.
In classical Islamic law, the major division are dar al-islam (lit. territory of Islam), denoting regions where Islamic law prevails,[3] dar al-sulh (lit. territory of treaty) denoting non-Islamic lands which have concluded an armistice with a Muslim government,[4] and dar al-harb (literarily territory of war), denoting adjoining non-Islamic lands whose rulers are called upon to accept Islam.[5]
Isn't this the muslim point we should be talking about?

Either the old boy is failing or he simply doesn't mean it. Unless he throws his hat on the floor and his speech in the air and commences to slap himself, he's merely negotiating.

Well, Earl Butz got in trouble for stating the obvious, but DJT has enabled black buy-in to the American Dream never seen before. Going to be hard to talk a lot of those folks into giving up a good thing.

So, off to refresh my memory re the unpardonable crimes of Earl Butz, only to find myself in the awkward position of loving the man till the end of time -- in a totally nonclerical way -- for what he said about the Pope. Anyways...
