[TOLONEWS] A foreign style government must not be imposed on Afghanistan, and Afghans are capable of forming their government, acting Minister of Foreign Affairs Amir Khan Muttaqi said on Saturday at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... Muttaqi said efforts are underway to increase inclusivity in the government.
Muttaqi and his accompanying delegation were invited to the Antalya Diplomacy Forum by the Ottoman Turkish Foreign Ministry.
"Foreign versions (of the government) and foreign ideology must not be imposed on Afghans. The former version of the (government) was tried but it did not succeed," Muttaqi said.
Muttaqi said the Islamic Emirate has been attempting to rescue the Afghan economy and there have been several areas of progress, including government actions to prevent economic collapse.
He suggested that a weak Afghan government would not benefit anyone, and, therefore, efforts to undermine the current government must stop.
The acting minister once again stressed that the Islamic Emirate has met all conditions for international recognition.
"I think... the title of the panel is how to cooperate (with) the realities, with the current realities," said Kamil Aydin, a member of the Turkey’s parliament. Speaking at the same conference, the Foreign Minister of Uzbekistan Abdulaziz Kamilov said that the current situation in Afghanistan has a direct impact on the region.
"We are interested in stability and security" in Afghanistan, he said.

Whatever you call it, salvaging abandoned combat equipment in a war zone isn't stealing.

[Breitbart] African migrants colonists, along with a host of other nationalities, are exploiting the war in Ukraine to enter La Belle France, a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) has claimed.
Nicolas Bay MEP has claimed that African migrants colonists are using refugee channels aimed at helping those fleeing the war in Ukraine to enter La Belle France.
Ultimately, the politician believes around one-third of migrants colonists using the route are not from Ukrainian, a figure suggested in a recent article published in Le Figaro but hotly disputed by official sources.
According to Le Monde, a number of French right-wing populists have denounced the alleged use of refugee routes by non-Ukrainian economic migrants colonists, with Bay, the vice-president of presidential candidate Eric Zemmour’s party Reconquêt (Reconquest) perhaps being the most prominent.
"[T]oday a third of the refugees who pass through Ukraine who do not come from Ukraine, but... come from sub-Saharan Africa in particular... [they] use this new migratory route to come to Europe," the publication reports the French MEP as saying.
Bay also emphasised that La Belle France has an obligation to help Ukrainian refugees, saying that those coming from the country are "part of our civilisation".
"There are those who come for economic reasons, who weigh down our public accounts and our social accounts, and the Ukrainians towards whom we have a duty of European solidarity, of course," he said.
Le Monde went on to note that others from both La Belle France’s traditional and populist right have repeated the figure, which appears to be sourced from an article published in Le Figaro titled ’War in Ukraine: one in three non-Ukrainians among refugees in La Belle France’.
However, a lie repeated often enough remains a lie... the French authorities have disputed the number of migrants colonists abusing the system, claiming that there was a question of dual citizenship at play.
"We have situations of dual nationality which are not easy to deal with," said the director-general of the French office for immigration and integration, Didier Leschi, in explaining the figures.

Serves the European Union right. Meet Chuwambi Gabdul Chuloso, Ukranian refugee. Although how traffickers can use that route for inserting Africans without the local authorities being purchased is beyond me.

According to his articles, Soros wasmist worried that a war in Ukraine would mean millions of immigrants to the better off EU countries and that is why he wanted Russia to be contained. Of course he wanted, like every European, for Americans to pay for this containment. The Marshall plan for Ukraine it was called. Worded as some anti-corruption and pro-developmemt agenda it was a plan to carry the open society disease deeper and deeper east.
[Dawn] Pakistain gave Afghan nationals until Tuesday to cross the Torkham border — which connects Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) with Afghanistan's Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies.

The relaxation was made after the Afghan embassy raised the issued with Pak authorities, according to a statement posted on the embassy's Twitter in Pashto.
The statement said Pak officials had also given the assurance that steps would be taken to facilitate the cross-border movement.
The embassy informed Afghan citizens stuck at Torkham, as well as the Chaman border in Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran.

Golly. Speak loudly and carry a small stick, to be sure.
[IsraelTimes] The White House says the US will back efforts to "hold Iran ...Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979... accountable" for a missile attack at Erbil in Iraq’s Kurdistan region and other threats, seemingly ratcheting up the US’s response to the bombing.
"We will support the Government of Iraq in holding Iran accountable, and we will support our partners throughout the Middle East in confronting similar threats from Iran," US National Security adviser Jake Sullivan says in a statement.
An earlier statement from the State Department said only that the US would "help our partners in the region defend themselves."

We will support the Government of Iraq in holding Iran accountable
"We will support someone else doing something while not actually doing something ourselves." Lame. That doesn't even rise to the level of "we will respond at a time and place of our own choosing".

Rantburg: the better brain exercise to keep your brain fit.
[IsraelTimes] Iran ...The nation is noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence... has decided to temporarily suspend its secret Baghdad-brokered talks aimed at defusing yearslong tensions with regional rival Saudi 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. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century... , Iranian state-linked media reports, a day after Saudi Arabia carried out the largest known mass execution in its modern history.
The Iranian news website Nournews, considered close to the country’s Supreme National Security Council, reports the government unilaterally paused the talks with Saudi Arabia that have been ongoing in Baghdad over the past year aimed at restoring diplomatic ties.
The report does not give a reason for Iran’s suspension, but it comes after Saudi Arabia put to death 81 people convicted of crimes ranging from killings to ties to holy warrior groups, a group that activists believe included over three dozen Shiites.
Shiites, who live primarily in the kingdom’s oil-rich east, have long complained of being treated as second-class citizens. Saudi Arabia’s executions of Shiites have stirred regional unrest in the past.
Iran, the largest Shiite Moslem country in the world, and Sunni powerhouse Saudi Arabia severed diplomatic ties in 2016 after Saudi Arabia executed prominent Shiite holy man Nimr al-Nimr.
