[AFRICANEWS] Somalia's foreign ministry has called on Æthiopia to retract its deal with Somaliland ...Republic of Somaliland is an unrecognised sovereign state in the Horn of Africa, recognised internationally as a de jure part of Somalia. It is located in the southern coast of the Gulf of Aden with approximately 5.7 million residents as of 2021. The capital and largest city is Hargeisa. The government regards itself as the successor state to British Somaliland, which united from 1960 to 1991 with the Trust Territory of Somaliland (the former Italian Somaliland) to form the Somali Republic. Under the Siad Barre regime, Somaliadestroyed ninety percent of Hargeisa Per international law, once you're in, you gotta stay in, no matter how bad it smells.... , in a statement published Wednesday.
The ministry said that there is " no space for mediation unless Æthiopia retracts its illegal deal" with Somaliland and reaffirms the illusory sovereignty and territorial integrity of Somalia.
Æthiopia signed the accord with Somalia's breakaway region of Somaliland on January 1, sparking Somali outrage. Somalia still considers the region as part of its territory and described the deal as a violation of its illusory sovereignty.
The ministry's comments come after 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... 's Peace and Security Council on Wednesday called for restraint and said that Somalia's illusory sovereignty should be respected.
The Council expressed its deep concern over the potential impact on the wider region of an escalation of tensions.
Members of the East African regional bloc IGAD are meeting in Uganda on Thursday to discuss the dispute.

[KavkazUzel] The government of Dagestan has allocated an additional 15 million rubles for accommodation and food for Palestinian refugees arriving in the republic.
The "Caucasian Knot" wrote that on November 21, 2003, the Dagestan authorities announced that they were ready to accept up to 200 refugees from Palestine, and 8.2 million rubles had been allocated for their accommodation. By January 9, 156 displaced people from Palestine, including 81 children, were accommodated at a recreation center near Makhachkala. 62 people have already received Russian passports, the issue of the legal status of other migrants is being resolved, the administration of the head of the republic reported. More than 30 migrants are ready to work in Dagestan, mainly in the healthcare sector, the head of the Republic’s Ministry of Labor reported. 12 displaced people from Palestine asked to be enrolled in universities to receive free higher education in Dagestan, the republican ombudsman said after a meeting with refugees.
Another 15 million rubles have been allocated to organize the accommodation of Palestinian refugees, the government of Dagestan announced today. This money will be used to organize temporary accommodation and food for Palestinian refugees who are in a temporary accommodation center. The recreation center near Makhachkala is home to 157 people who arrived from the Gaza Strip, including 75 adults and 82 children, according to a message on the Telegram channel of the government of Dagestan.
The reception of immigrants from Palestine was organized on the initiative of the federal authorities, suggested Caucasus experts Akhmet Yarlykapov and Ruslan Kutaev. The decision to accept a small number of Palestinians was made by the authorities of the republics, since it is beneficial to their image and will not hit the budget, objected political scientist Sergei Zhavoronkov.
Muslims in the North Caucasus reacted sharply to the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that began in October. You can read about who and how in the North Caucasus Federal District expressed support for Palestine in the “Caucasian Knot” document “ Actions in support of Palestine in the North Caucasus.”
The fighting between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement began on October 7, 2023, with the firing of hundreds of rockets into Israeli territory, including civilian targets and civilians. The Israel Defense Forces responded by launching a military operation against Hamas, after which Israel announced a blockade of the Gaza Strip: supplies of water, food, electricity, medicine, and fuel were suspended. Thousands of people died on both sides.
The Islamic movement Hamas is recognized as terrorist, in particular, in the United States and the European Union. In Russia, the movement has not been declared terrorist, since none of its representatives have been convicted in Russia, the Prosecutor General’s Office said in response to a request from a deputy from St. Petersburg.

[KavkazUzel] The reconciliation of the relatives of Turpal-Ali Shamurzaev, accused of murdering mullah Abdurakhim Gakaev, with the family of the murdered man took place in the village of Kadi-Yurt, a resident of the Gudermes region who was present at this procedure told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
As the " Caucasian Knot " wrote, the relatives of the man accused of the murder of Mullah Abdurakhim Gakaev said that they were disgraced by the actions of their relative, and expressed a desire to reconcile with the relatives of the deceased, as follows from the video recording of the gathering in the village of Komsomolskoye; earlier they publicly asked for forgiveness from the relatives of the murdered man. On January 14, it became known that a mullah from the village of Voskresenovskoye, Shelkovsky district of Chechnya, Abdurakhim Gakaev, was killed in front of his child.
On January 15, a 30-year-old murder suspect was detained. The investigation reported on January 17 that a detained resident of Gudermes was charged with murder in the village of Voskresenovskoye, he pleaded guilty and was arrested.
The Telegram channel in opposition to the authorities of Chechnya reported that several months before the murder, the accused recorded a video message in which he declared his fight against sorcerers, and asked to bring this message to Ramzan Kadyrov, from whom he tried to find understanding and protection.
According to the same source, 10 years ago the man turned to a healer using alternative medicine methods in Dagestan. Five years later, he began to seek treatment for witchcraft and thus became the “patient” of a man whom he killed, deciding that he was also a sorcerer.
The reconciliation of the families of Turpal-Ali Shamurzaev and Abdurakhim Gakaev took place in the village of Kadi-Yurt, where Gakaev lived and where he was buried, one of the residents of the Gudermes region, who was present at the ceremony, told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
According to him, not only the relatives of the accused and their fellow villagers arrived in Kadi-Yurt, but also residents of nearby settlements in the Gudermes region. The reconciliation took place in the presence and with the assistance of the Chairman of the Council of Alims of Chechnya, Khozh-Akhmed Kadyrov, he added.
As follows from the video published on the Instagram*-public “Chechnya is here,” elderly men are sitting and standing around the perimeter of the tent. A large group of men came to the tent. One of them gives a speech in Chechen.
“I am authorized by these people to contact you with a request and an explanation of their position. With your consent, I would like to voice this. Do you agree to listen to us?” - he says. “We agree,” one of the elders replied.
“In order to avoid possible consequences and prevent a new round of conflict, I am authorized on behalf of the family of the criminal to declare: we swear in the name of Allah that we knew nothing about the plans of the criminal,” the “Caucasian Knot” correspondent translated the dialogue.
Most of the men standing outside the tent bowed their heads down and clasped their hands in front of them. “Reconciliation,” the video description says.
The Ingush Telegram channel ingterpol_news reported today that the reconciliation of families had taken place, accompanying this message with a video recording of hundreds of men gathered on the street near a tent and praying.

oh look, another deep stater trying to start a new war. how unusual!
These are the same people who lost in Afghanistan. Nobody got fired or went to prison for $1 trillion fraud and 20 years of lying to inspectors-general.
And they're going to start a new war against a much harder target - and win?

[REGNUM] On January 18, Islamabad said its forces had launched "a series of well-coordinated and targeted precision military strikes" against Iran's southeastern Sistan and Baluchistan province in an operation called Marg Bar Sarmachar. This broadly translates to “death to the partisans.”
"Several" militants were killed during the operation, Pakistan's foreign ministry added.
Islamabad also noted that in recent years it has expressed concern to Tehran about “shelters and shelters” in Iran for Pakistani Baloch separatists, whom Pakistan calls “Sarmachar.” The Pakistani authorities, as they themselves claim, wanted the Iranian side to share data regarding the presence and activities of these militants.
“Sarmachar” refers to two groups, the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and the Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF), that are fighting for greater regional autonomy for Pakistani Balochistan, even to the point of granting it independence from Pakistan. At the same time, their militants often commit terrorist acts and kill journalists.
ISLAMABAD'S "MIRROR RESPONSE"
Pakistan's actions are a "mirror response" to Iran's attacks on Pakistani soil two days earlier.
On Tuesday evening, January 16, Iran's IRGC forces allegedly attacked the headquarters of the Jaysh al-Adl movement in Pakistan. This group conducts its anti-government activities in the province of Sistan and Baluchistan in Iran, seeking to transform this region into an independent Islamic emirate.
The Pakistani government strongly condemned Tehran's actions and said the strikes killed two children and wounded three others.
“ What is even more alarming is that this illegal act occurred despite the existence of multiple channels of communication between Pakistan and Iran, ” the Pakistan Foreign Ministry said. “ Pakistan has always said that terrorism is a common threat to all countries in the region, which requires coordinated action.”
The Pakistani Foreign Ministry recalled the ambassador from Iran, and Islamabad stated that it reserves the right to retaliate. And, as you can see, these measures did not take long to arrive.
In turn, Tehran has now expressed protest against Pakistan’s “anti-terrorist operation” on its own territory. According to the Iranian Tasnim agency, Pakistan's charge d'affaires in Tehran was summoned to the Iranian Foreign Ministry after a missile strike on the territory of the Islamic Republic.
“A Pakistani diplomat was summoned to the ministry in the absence of the ambassador (as the ambassador was recalled for consultations after the Iranian attacks) to give an explanation regarding several explosions in areas near the city of Serawan in the province of Sistan and Baluchistan that occurred earlier today,” the report said.
Thus, we can say that Tehran, with its great-power ambitions, has finally met with an equally ambitious regional player in the person of Islamabad, and at the same time possessing nuclear weapons.
Pakistan, unlike many neighboring countries that have suffered to one degree or another from Iran’s actions, did not wait to respond and was not afraid of a possible escalation.
Another question is that such Pakistani-Iranian disagreements can, if the parties wish, be resolved quickly enough, since both countries are China’s closest partners, with which they are closely connected not only economically, but also military-politically. Islamabad, however, is larger, Tehran somewhat smaller.
In general, it cannot be ruled out that Pakistan’s retaliatory actions were carried out under the control of Beijing and could even be coordinated with Tehran. But we will know about this only by how Iran ultimately responds to Pakistani attacks.
In addition, both Pakistan and Iran are members of the SCO and the Organization has a good reason to remind itself and its security dimension in the form of the SCO anti-terrorist center in Tashkent. The SCO could invite both countries to develop a certain algorithm for joint actions against terrorist and separatist Baloch groups that use the territories of Pakistan and Iran for attacks from both sides of the border.
HOT BALOCHISTAN
The territory of Baluchistan, a geographical region inhabited by the Baluchis, one of the Indo-European peoples, is divided between Pakistan and Iran. In these territories there are various groups seeking independence from Islamabad and Tehran, respectively. Moreover, these movements are often sponsored by external forces.
Thus, Iran previously, before normalizing relations with Riyadh, accused Saudi Arabia of supporting Sunni jihadist groups present in the Iranian province of Sistan and Baluchestan.
At the moment, a whole mosaic of various Sunni formations is still active there. Most of them arose from the foundations of the leading rebel faction of Iranian Balochistan, Jundallah, which was never able to recover from the defeat in 2010-2011.
It should be noted that the leader of Jundallah himself, Abdulmalik Rigi, rejected accusations that Jundallah is a radical Salafi organization.
“We’re not radical,” he said. “We’re correct. It’s just that everyone else is lax or straight-up heretical. Dunno why they all call us taqfiris.”
Its closest analogue before the split was the Afghan Taliban (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation), which adheres to Hanafi jurisprudence and Maturidi theology, traditional for the region.
Nowadays, Jaysh al-Adl, close to Jundallah and founded by its former members, is among the most active Sunni jihadist groups in Iranian Balochistan.
There are also other anti-government groups operating in Iranian Balochistan. Such as “Harakat Ansar al Iran”, renamed “Harakat al Ansar” - also a “splinter” of “Jundallah”, part of which merged with another independent Islamist Baloch faction “Hizb al Furqan” into a new structure - “Ansar al Furqan”. However, the activity of this group began to decline after the death of its leader Hisham Azizi in 2015.
It’s been a while since we used the Toad the Wet Sprocket analogy.
In turn, secular nationalist groups of Baloch separatists with a left-wing Marxist bias, such as the Balochistan Liberation Front and the Baluchistan Liberation Army, are active in Pakistan. They also, according to the Pakistani authorities, enjoy the protection of external forces, primarily India.
Pakistan would say that.
During their first stage of activity in the 70s of the last century, they fought not only against Pakistan, but also against Iran. And only in the 2000s did they completely refocus on the confrontation with Islamabad. It is likely that the FOB and AOB were able to maintain their secret bases on Iranian territory, ceasing the fight with Tehran, so as not to further irritate the Iranian authorities.
On the other hand, it is obvious that the attacks on the secret cells of Jaysh al-Adl by Iran were largely in the nature of a PR campaign and were not aimed at suppressing terrorist activity.
They were supposed to demonstrate that Iran has become a full-fledged regional power that is capable of suppressing any threats in neighboring states. And thereby putting it on a par with the United States or Israel, which also act against any hostile forces outside their territory.
*Snicker*
ECHO OF GAZA
But in any case, it should be borne in mind that the current Iran-Pakistan escalation is associated with Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip.
“Doze Juices made us do it!”
The events of October 7 thus became a trigger for regional escalation, which is already extending beyond the Middle East.
It is unlikely that Iran would launch strikes on the territory of Pakistan, where, according to Tehran, Jaish al-Adl terrorists are hiding, if it were not for the need to respond to the actions of the United States and Israel, which killed IRGC officers in Damascus and the leaders of pro-Iranian militias in Iraq.
So they killed a couple of Pakistani tribals? How does that punish The Two Satans?
Also, according to Iran, they directed the actions of the terrorist group ISIS (banned in the Russian Federation) during the terrorist attack in Kerman. All this was a consequence of growing tensions between Iran, on the one hand, and the United States and Israel, on the other, due to the events in Gaza.
Oy.
But against this background, Iran had to somehow demonstrate its readiness to suppress threats from another direction, namely from Pakistani Baluchistan, from where jihadist militants infiltrated into the country and committed terrorist attacks. In this case, an Iranian strike on “friendly” Iraq while ignoring the response in the direction of Pakistan could cause even greater misunderstanding in Baghdad.
It must be really interesting inside their heads...
Iraq, despite its close ties with the Islamic Republic, filed a complaint against the actions of its neighbor to the UN Security Council.
Client kitten bares claws?
However, it is unlikely that Iran's actions will lead to anything more serious. Of course, tensions in the region will increase, but Tehran’s actions themselves are more likely aimed at the domestic Iranian audience. It should have no doubt that the Islamic Republic is ready to destroy its opponents along the perimeter of the country's borders and is not afraid to do this by striking American and Israeli targets.
Did they find their targets by tracking the spy squirrels?
Another question is, are the places where the Iranian missiles fell really the CIA and Mossad bases from where attacks on Iran were coordinated, or were they simply declared so by the IRGC itself?
To ask the question is to answer it.
The same applies to Jaysh al-Adl cells in Pakistan.
The bottom line is that the result of the Iranian attacks on Iraq was the murder of the Kurdish tycoon Peshrav Zeya, who, if the Iranians are to be believed again, was a Mossad agent, but it is not possible to verify or refute this.
Thus, Tehran’s algorithm of actions is as follows:
First, blame the terrorist attack in Kerman on the United States and Israel, which allegedly manage and direct ISIS terrorists. Then take revenge for this terrorist attack by targeting some CIA and Mossad bases in Iraq, which, by the way, neither the United States nor Israel consider their targets. Iran itself declared them as such, and therefore the United States will not take retaliatory actions. Which is exactly what Tehran needed.
All this fits well within the framework of a resonant response that would not lead to a regional war that Iran does not need.
Ouch.
At the same time, the initial story about the alleged complete destruction of the American consulate in Erbil as a result of an Iranian strike with the corresponding footage was most likely made deliberately. For many in the Middle East, this fake story began to take on a life of its own as evidence that it is not only the Houthis who are capable of challenging the United States.
Even though the destruction never happened, those perfidious Yanks being entirely too facile with their anti-drone technology. But reality is not really a factor in that part of the world, poor darlings.
Resonance was all Tehran needed in this situation.
But it is obvious that in the case of Pakistan, Iran did not calculate the reaction. Pakistan has never been afraid to escalate with the much stronger India, and certainly will not retreat in front of Iran.
But at the same time, Tehran itself is by no means eager to enter into confrontation with Islamabad, opening up another front for itself. Therefore, the question is whether Iran will be able not to “follow the principle” and not respond with blows to blows, taking the escalation to a new level.
Interesting times. Especially for the Mad Mullahs, who aren’t getting any of the wars they want.

Maybe we could tell Biden there are $$$ involved and he could get right in the middle of this one.
The pummelling is happening because Israel is conducting an ethnic cleansing in full view of the entire world, and for some reason censorship isn't happening like it always did before.
No, it’s happening because people who think like you are mannerless asses.
#1
Hey Ben, you are not looking at this properly. If they could, they would've solved the Jewish problem once and for all. But they can't, so they howl in frustration.
#3
A good example of the pummeling. Israel knew before theiy started the ethnic cleansing that half of the population of Gaza are children.
For those who continue to insist that reports about massive numbers of innocent Palestinians dying in Gaza -- especially young children -- are just the by-product of Hamas propaganda.
The US is paying for all of this. It's all done with bombs provided by the US Govt: https://t.co/i3JsWmjJrw

See, that "human sheild" argument is exactly the sort of ineffective messaging that is doing permanent, irreparable damage to Israel. After 80 years of being an untouchable victim group, it's all being thrown away. When you drop bombs on areaswhere children are knownto be, that's on you, not anyone else.
And everyone knows "look at what you made me do" is classic abuser rhetoric. Literally, it's in textbooks. Whomever says this is choosing the villain's path.

It's only genocide when you slaughter humans. Vermin are simply exterminated. Since HamAss and their ilk are vermin, they don't count and I don't care how many die.
#12
Boy, those "vermin" comments don't do you any favors, either. Shall I pull up the Nazi propaganda that depicted Jews as rats? That's why they used rat poison, you know, right? That's what Zyklon B was befeore they repurposed itfor genocide. In fact, you can still buy it today and it's made by the same company. The Nazis viewed themselves as cleansing Europe of a vermin infestation.
But " never again", amirite?
You know, finding out that phrase which pretty much defined Israel for the past 80 years was all a Big Lie from the beginning is really doing a number not just on me, but people all over the world. It is absolutely raining red pills out there.
#13
You don't seem to understand, HamAss have demonstrated their inhumanity. They have voluntarily removed themselves from it. Notice I did not say arabs, I did not say muslims. I am speaking of a group of people who are dedicated to one goal that is exterminating an entire religion of people. This is a result of THEIR actions, not hatred on the part of the Israeli's or the Jews. Cato did not say Africa must be destroyed, he said Carthage...learn the difference.

The Joooos are using rat poison/Zyklon B/? How about kinetic pestilence removal when the rabid infest and deliberately hide among the supporting hive?

For the sake of argument, let's stipulate that the Juice are icky and they are going about this Hamas thing all wrong. My question is: What would you do?
A thousand or so of your countrymen have just been massacred in cold blood by an organized group. How would you deal with it to make sure it does not happen again?
(hint: words on paper will not do it)
Note: I realize we are dealing with trolls here, but

b) I'm serious. The situation is Gaza is awful along multiple dimensions, but no one has a more practical solution for removing Hamas from the board.

What do you mean, inhumanity? The chief lessson of the Nazis is that they WERE human! Jesus Christ, didn't we all learn that in our Holocaust lessons in school? These genocidal acts were not perpetrated by inhuman monsters, but by ordinary humans much like you and me. For example, Reserve Police Batallion 101.
And now, in full view of the world, Zionists are repeating the same things about Gazans that the Nazis said about Zionists. With no apparent awareness that they are doing so.
That's what just slays me about all this. We were all force-fed this stuff for 40 years, we all know it!It was drilled into our heads that we must never again allow this to happen. To anybody! Don't tell us it's not true, it was Jewish people who created the curriculums, taught the lessons, endowed the professorships and opened the museums that covered these exact lessons! No exceptions! We're all human! We all have human rights, and among these is the right not to be killed by a government. Any government.
[GEO.TV] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Thursday rejected again to support any future creation of a Paleostinian state after the US renewed commitment towards a two-state solution.
The Israeli premier made the fresh remarks after recent statements by US officials who claim that the administration of US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. ‘This Is A Man ThatDoes Not Seem Demented’... envisions a post-war normalisation deal between Israel and Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... that would include a "path" towards Paleostinian statehood.
But Israeli officials, including Netanyahu, have repeatedly shot down the possibility of a future Paleostinian state.
"In any future arrangement ... Israel needs security control all territory west of the Jordan," Netanyahu said in a news conference," quoted al-Jazeera.
"So it contradicts the idea of self-rule [for Paleostinians]. So what? I tell this truth to our American friends," Netanyahu added.
The Israeli prime minister has previously said that he was "proud" to have prevented the establishment of a Paleostinian state.

[An Nahar] Parliament Speaker Nabih Knobby Berri ...Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, head of the Amal Shiite party aligned with Hezbollah, a not very subtle sock puppet of the Medes and Persians... has reportedly urged all parties to elect a president.
"Berri has directly called all the parties concerned with the presidential file to seize the opportunity to protect the country by electing a president," Ain el-Tineh sources told al-Joumhouria newspaper, in remarks published Thursday.
The source added that Berri is "always ready" for any effort that would break the presidential impasse and is discussing the presidential file in all his meetings with envoys and ambassadors.
The Speaker has encouraged the 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... is to resume their presidential efforts, the source said.
An earlier report in al-Liwaa newspaper claimed that senior Lebanese officials had contacted the Qatari leadership, including during caretaker PM Najib Mikati’s meetings in Davos, asking it to send Qatari envoy Jassem bin Fahad al-Thani to Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... as soon as possible in order to revive the presidential election file.
Doha and the five-nation group for Lebanon -- which also comprises the U.S., La Belle France, KSA, and Egypt -- have sought to facilitate the presidential election file in Lebanon but Qatar's efforts stopped with the eruption of the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... war.
Crisis-hit Lebanon has been without a president since Michel Aoun ...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah... 's term ended in October last year, with neither of the two main blocs -- Hezbollah and its opponents -- having the majority required to elect one.
La Belle France has warned Lebanon that the presidential vacancy is weighing on the country's ability to overcome its crises and to prevent a security deterioration amid risks of escalation of cross-border fighting between Israel and Hezbollah.

[Regnum] Western countries are actively using IS cells (a terrorist organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) in Syria to attack local military personnel, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on January 18.
Prove it, your excellency.
According to him, Moscow does not have double standards in relation to terrorists, while the West does.
“Now the West is actively using ISIS cells (a terrorist organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) in Syria in order to carry out acts of sabotage and attacks on the Armed Forces of the Syrian Arab Republic,” the minister said at a press conference.
As Regnum reported, on January 3, during a mourning ceremony on the anniversary of the death of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps General Qasem Soleimani, who was buried in a cemetery in Kerman, two explosions occurred. The victims of the terrorist attack were 89 people, including 39 minors. More than 280 people were injured. The Islamic State (a terrorist organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) claimed responsibility for the explosion. Iran's spiritual leader Ali Khamenei threatened the organizers of the terrorist attack with a harsh response.
On August 2, 2023, the deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties in the Arab Republic (CPVS), Rear Admiral Vadim Kulit, said that Russia was concerned about the information received about the active preparation of suicide bombers for terrorist attacks against targets and patrols of the Russian Armed Forces in Syria.

...Republic of Somaliland is an unrecognised sovereign state in the Horn of Africa, recognised internationally as a de jure part of Somalia.
