[IsraelTimes] Æthiopia’s government announces that it has recaptured the strategic towns of Dessie and Kombolcha, more than a month after Tigrayan rebels claimed control of the two cities.
"The historic Dessie city and the trade and industry corridor city Kombolcha have been freed by the joint gallant security forces," the government communications service says on Twitter.
Doro said the incident happened at Madaci and Iyo communities but that officials were still awaiting the report of what led to the deadly clash.
A resident, Idris, told Premium Times that the clash began on Wednesday following an encroachment into farmlands by herders which led to destruction of crops.
He said the encroachment provoked the farming communities to come out enmasse to protect their crops which are already ripe for harvest.
Idris said two people were murdered in Madaci, naming the victims as Abba Ali and Umar Sani.
He also identified one other person he said was killed at Iyo community as Aliso. He said the victim was a labourer from Kazaure local government area working as a farm hand in Kirikasamma.
The source said the herders used arrows and machetes to kill the three people.
He added that the injured victims were taken to neighbouring Kano and Yobe States for treatment.
He said the injured victims were taken to Nguru in Yobe and the Mallam Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital in Kano, while some others were in Hadejia responding to treatment.
“The hospital in Kano is requesting N300,000 to remove the arrow from the body of a victim and we are now contributing money but we are yet to meet the amount,” Idris said.
The police spokesperson in Jigawa, Lawan Adam, said he was yet to be briefed on the incident.

Again all scare quotes mine. Follow up to this and this from yesterday.
[IsraelTimes] Controversial Jewish commentator lightly hurt when man grabs his arm as he heads to stage; fighting breaks out and supporters throw chairs at activists with ’No to Racism’ t-shirts.
French “far-right” presidential candidate Eric Zemmour was left lightly injured after being assaulted at his first campaign rally on Sunday where fighting also broke out during his speech in front of thousands of supporters.
The 63-year-old author and television commentator suffered a wrist injury when a man grabbed him violent mostly peacefully as he made his way towards the stage at a giant exhibition center northeast of Gay Paree on Sunday afternoon, an aide told AFP.
The rally was his first official campaign event since his announcement on Tuesday that he would seek to unseat centrist President Emmanuel Macron in next April’s election.
"The stakes are huge: if I win it will be the start of winning back the most beautiful country in the world," Zemmour told the crowd in Villepinte which cheered his anti-immigration rhetoric loudly.
Shortly after he started speaking, fighting broke out and chairs were thrown at activists who stood up with "No to Racism" written on their T-shirts.
"We wanted to do a non-violent mostly peaceful protest," Aline Kremer from the group SOS Racisme,
...officially an activist arm of various Socialist political parties across Europe, but in the case of the Norwegian branch both open Maoists and convicted fraudsters. If not actually Antifa, they provide the sea in which Antifa activists swim...
which organized the stunt, told AFP. "People jumped on them and started hitting them."
And they were total innocents who did nothing to provoke a response? Pull the other one — that’s got bells on.
FADING IN POLLS
The rally was seen as a chance for the best-selling author to regain momentum after opinion polls showed support for him falling over the last month.
"We’re hoping that by announcing his candidacy and with this rally that it will relaunch him a bit," said Maxence Mike, a 22-year-old student member of the "Generation Z" support group.
Zemmour, a child of Algerian Jews who has two convictions for hate speech, claimed there were 15,000 people at the rally, although organizers had previously talked of 12,000.
Polls suggest that voters currently believe Marine Le Pen, the veteran leader of the “far-right” National Rally party, would make a more competent president than Zemmour. The latest surveys suggest he would be eliminated in the first round if the election were held now, with Macron tipped to beat Le Pen in the second round, but analysts warn that the outcome remains highly uncertain.
REPLACEMENT?
Zemmour vowed that if elected he would reduce immigration to almost zero, dramatically tighten the naturalization process, and expel failed asylum-seekers and illegal immigrants colonists.
He again stressed the danger of French people being "replaced" by immigrants colonists, echoing a theory known as the "great replacement" that is popular with white supremacists.
The idea was on many supporters’ minds.
"You just need to go out in the street to see it," Helena, a 60-year-old civil servant from the Gay Paree suburbs, told AFP at the rally. "When I take public transport I barely hear anyone speaking French."
Fabrice Berly, a 54-year-old photocopier technician also from the Gay Paree suburbs, said he no longer recognized his neighborhood as the same place he grew up in.
"I can see the replacement going on around me," he said.
Jacques Ohana, a 65-year-old Gay Paree surgeon, said Zemmour had already succeeded in making immigration one of the main topics of the election campaign.
"Whether he’s elected or not, he’s already won the campaign," he said.
La Belle France’s right-wing Republicans party picked the boss of the Gay Paree region Valerie Pecresse as its nominee on Saturday after a primary dominated by talk of immigration and crime.
PROTEST
Police were on alert for far-left activists and anarchists
See? Antifa...
who disrupted Zemmour’s trip to the southern port city of Marseille last weekend, which ended with the candidate showing the middle finger to one protester.
Riot police massed outside the arena and searched people’s bags as they arrived.
In Gay Paree, police said around 2,000 people — 10,000 according to organizers — marched to denounce Zemmour’s campaign.
As well as a series of recent missteps, including the middle-finger incident, Zemmour has seen several influential figures on the “far right” distance themselves from him, including his main financial backer.
[IsraelTimes] French prosecutors open an investigation into violence that erupted at the first official campaign rally of a “far-right” candidate who has shaken up France’s presidential race.
The prosecutors’ office says police detained around 60 people after fists and chairs flew and anti-racism campaigners were left bloodied at Eric Zemmour’s rally with thousands of supporters north of Paris yesterday.
Campaign group SOS Racisme condemns savage beatings that targeted its activists at the rally, Zemmour’s first since the 63-year-old far-right author and former TV commentator with repeated convictions for hate speech officially launched his campaign last week for the presidential election in April.
The prosecutors’ office says it also is investigating a fracas that involved Zemmour himself.
Video images show a man surging out of the crowd with arms outstretched as the candidate walked through throngs at the rally. The man appeared to briefly lock arms around Zemmour’s neck before he was pulled off.
"The Great Replacement": exactly. Finally a major western leader is standing up and speaking this simple and powerful truth that explains so much of our moronic leaders' wickedness. And Zemmour speaks beautifully and eloquently, with passion and clarity.

"Anarchists" are far-left activists; Marxists in a bigger hurry than the communists. They buy into Marx's prophecy that what follows the "dictatorship of the proletariat" is a "withering of the state" and then anarchy.
If you doubt me, ask yourself this: have you ever seen anarchists march in opposition to the state having more power over normal people? They only oppose the state having more power over criminals and invaders.

The state has figured out how to wither and get bigger than ever at the same time. Think Leviathan with Parkinsons and dementia.
The joke's on Marxists and anarchists alike.

The best summary is what the late Samuel Francis described as "Anarcho-Tyranny."
His brilliant 1993 article beautifully described a beast which in the Age of Woke has grown into its current monstrous form: "the combination of oppressive government power against the innocent and the law-abiding and, simultaneously, a grotesque paralysis of the ability or the will to use that power to carry out basic public duties such as protection or public safety."
Francis notes that "it is characteristic of anarcho-tyranny that it not only fails to punish criminals and enforce legitimate order but also criminalizes the innocent."
We now see this free-the-criminals, punish-the-innocent tendency everywhere, from the disparate treatment of OTOH BLAM-tifa and black thugs like MathBoi Fly and OTOH the Jan-sixers and Proud Boys to the welcoming of millions of illegals while white male PhDs, even tenured ones at top universities, are destroyed with bogus 'hate crime' charges for violating Woke-speech.
Or by the disparate treatment of felonious, perjuring, criminally-negligent school board officials in Virginia who go scot-free while the parents of the kids who were literally raped by a Woke savage are beaten and bloodied by the police.
Or by the disparate treatment of the Biden Crime Family and OrangeMan or DeSantis.
Or by the worship of Fauci the criminal perjurer and incompetent, while sane, wise and competent doctors like Scott Atlas are demonized or even threatened with professional sanction.
There are thousands of other examples. Wonder what Sam Francis would say were he still alive to see how far this "anarcho-tyranny" has gone...

'Eric Zemmour'. Is he Jewish? I don't understand if he is a Jew or if the commentator is a Jew or if they both are. I hope that he is and that he wins.

State tottering, towering high.
Cries lefty, "Leviathan, fly!
In the shade of the beast
I won't even be policed

'Eric Zemmour'. Is he Jewish?
Yes. His parents are Berber Jews who emigrated to France from Algeria to escape the Algerian war. As a group the North African Jews in France are religiously orthodox and socially conservative, and also younger and have more children than the native French Jews.
[GREATERKASHMIR] Police along with security forces on Monday claimed to have arrested an active Death Eater and a Death Eater associate in Sopore area of north 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.... 's Baramulla district.As per a police handout, the active Death Eater Towfeeq Kaboo, son of Ghulam Rasool Kaboo resident of Kaboo Mohalla Arampora Sopore and the Death Eater associate identified by the police as Bilal Ahmad Kaloo, son of Abdul Rahman Kaloo, resident of Takiabal Sopore, were apprehended by the police and security forcesin Ningli area of Sopore during a cordon and search operation by a joint team of Police, 52RR and 177Bn CRPF following a tip off.
The affiliation of the arrested men was not immediately known.
"During the search operation terrorist and his associate were challenged by the search party however they tried to escape from the spot but the alert search party apprehended them tactfully, " police said.
A case under relevant sections of law has been registered and further investigation has been taken up, it added.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Iraqi forces and Kurdish Peshmerga fighters have recaptured a village in northern Iraq on Monday after ISIS bully boyz took it over the previous day, security and police sources said.
Elite Iraq interior ministry forces and Kurdish Peshmerga fighters managed on early Monday to control Luhaiban village, though the bully boyz have left some houses booby-trapped with bombs, the sources said.
In a separate attack on Sunday, ISIS bully boyz killed four Peshmerga soldiers and a civilian, and maimed six other people when they attacked Qara Salem village in northern Iraq, security sources said.
The Ministry of Peshmerga Affairs said in a statement that the attack caused casualties, but did not confirm the toll.
Peshmerga are the military forces of the autonomous region of Iraqi Kurdistan.
One Peshmerga colonel said ISIS fighters were using hit-and-run tactics in night attacks on their positions.
"They avoid holding the ground for longer time ... More reinforcement forces were dispatched to the area to prevent further attacks," the colonel said.
Iraqi forces and Kurdish Peshmerga fighters reinforced their troops in the area on Monday where the attacks had been carried out by bad boy group with Iraqi military helicopters flying over to chase bad boys, two Iraqi security sources said.
The two villages are in remote territory claimed by the Iraqi government in Baghdad and the government of the autonomous northern Kurdish region in Erbil where there are regular attacks by ISIS.
But it is a rare incident of ISIS bully boyz controlling a residential area near a main road, a highway that links Erbil to the city of Kirkuk.

It is noted that a ten-year-old child was seriously injured. He is now in intensive care. In connection with the injuries of civilians, the US military began an investigation into this incident.

There are no "civilians" in the Middle East. There are non-combatants living in war zones who become collateral damage when militants hide among them.
Many of them try to flee their war-torn homelands, but most of them encourage the never-ending violence that defines the Muslim world.
Until Islam drastically changes, or is decisively defeated, there will always be "civilian" casualties.
