Under ordinary circumstances I would have to say taking a baseball bat to one's daughter is sort of over the top. Then again, I am reminded of the 'child's' final moments.
[ToloNews] President Ashraf Ghani ...former chancellor of Kabul University, now president of Afghanistan. Before returning to Afghanistan in 2002 he was a scholar of political science and anthropology. He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money... in a statement on Monday instructed all Afghan forces to observe the ceasefire during three days of Eid, but he reiterated that the Taliban ...Arabic for students... ’s violence has no legitimacy as international troops are leaving the country.
Ghani stated that the government is aware of the announcement of the ceasefire by the Taliban, but he did not welcome it or otherwise acknowledge the gesture in his remarks.
Ghani said the Afghan government and the Afghan people’s demand is a permanent and real ceasefire.
"Our message to the Taliban is that their latest attacks during Ramadan in Pashtun-infested Logar, Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... , Ghazni, Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... , Baghlan, the Kabul school attack, and today’s (Monday) deadly incident in Zabul show that any attempt to impose violence and make efforts to create horror among the people to achieving political and intelligence goals only leads to more hatred (towards them) among the people," Ghani said.
He said that the Taliban in the last few weeks might have learned that their calculation of winning militarily and in face-to-face fights against the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces is wrong.
He once again called on the Taliban to respond to the people’s demand for ceasefire and return to the negotiating table.
The Taliban in a statement announced a three-day ceasefire during the upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr, following a surge of violence that comes on the heels of the foreign troops' withdrawal from the country.
The statement says that all Taliban fighters have been instructed to stop all kinds of offensive operations across the country from the first to the third day of Eid-ul-Fitr.
The statement added that Taliban fighters have been told that if they are attacked "by the enemy" during these three days, they should protect and defend themselves.
The fighters have also been asked to avoid any attempt to enter territories under the Afghan government’s control and also they should not allow any members of Afghan forces to enter their territories.
This would be the third ceasefire in the country following the first in August 2018. But all have been for three days only each time.
This comes as Pakistain’s Army Chief of Staff Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa visited Kabul on Monday to meet with Afghan officials.
[YNet] - The chairman of the African Union Commission on Tuesday condemned Israeli "bombardments" in the Gaza Strip as well as "violent attacks" by Israeli security forces at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem.
Chadian Moussa Faki Mahamat "reiterates that the Israeli army's actions, including the continued forced, illegal evictions of Palestinians from their homes in East Jerusalem, are in stark violation of international law and further heighten tensions in the region," the AU said in a statement. kuma la babako
[All Africa] The Senator representing Kebbi South Senatorial District, Senator Bala Ibn Na'Allah, has attributed the causes of insecurity challenges posed by Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... and banditry to past injustices inflicted on the country collectively and individually.
Utter nonsense. If that kind of thing were remotely true, the Jews would have erased the rest of Mankind from the face of the Earth in 1946.
Senator Na'Allah spoke over the weekend while fielding questions from State House news hounds after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said the National Assembly had voiced its readiness to work with President Buhari to find a permanent solution to the prevailing security situation across the country, adding that the current scenario requires the support of all responsible citizens to make the fight successful, despite regional or personal reservations.
"There are certain feelings that, with the greatest respect, cannot be justified in the present situation. You see a society evolves with its own problems, depending on its structure. Let me give you an example. Boko Haram is predominantly in the Northeast, it's not a fact that you can say is not correct. Banditry is in the Northwest, you can't say it's not correct.
And we’ve seen reports here that the bandits, Fulani herdsmen, and Boko Haram have been cross-pollinating, as it were, suggesting they are all the same problem of Muslims behaving badly.
The federal politician disclosed that he was in the Presidential Villa to discuss issues of national importance with President Buhari, saying "we have had a very frank discussion with the president and I'm happy to tell Nigerians that there is a commitment, a real commitment, to reverse most of the concerns established by Nigerians as far as this country is concerned."
Senator Na'Allah, while speaking on the concerns so far raised by stakeholders over the possibility of the amendment to the Electoral Act not being ready to be used for the 2023 elections, charged Nigerians to mount pressure on their representatives in the National Assembly to ensure that the amendments to the Electoral Act are passed and ready for the general elections.
Reacting to a question on the position of the National Assembly on having the electronic voting in 2023, Na'Allah said "that will be determined when the principal law is to be considered on the floor of the Senate".

All muslims are wronged people. Their 'injustice' begins as soon as they're born. They have to share this planet with us, with each other, with women. Born in slavery to an unseen, unquestionable satan, they keep searching for just who it is they can lay the blame on and kill.
The best thing you can do for a muslim is put him out of everyone's his misery.
