[ToloNews] A new report by a UN monitoring team says that the Taliban ...Arabic for students... and Al Qaeda "remain closely aligned and show no indication of breaking ties."
The UN report says that UN member states "report no material change to this relationship, which has grown deeper as a consequence of personal bonds of marriage and shared partnership in struggle, now cemented through second generational ties."
Long War Journal said that other findings by the UN are consistent with previous analyses prepared by the UN Security Council’s Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team, however, the most recent report cites new intelligence as well.
One claim noted by analysts is that Sirajuddin Haqqani ...son of Pashtun warlord Jalaluddin Haqqani, still titular head of the Haqqani Network.... , the deputy emir of the Taliban’s Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, is also a member of Al Qaeda’s leadership.
"If the terrorism threat rises once again in Afghanistan or if a threat emerges to US national security from Afghanistan, in that case we want to have forces in the region to respond--to defend US national security and show a reaction," US special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad said in an interview with TOLOnews on Monday.
One claim noted by analysts is that Sirajuddin Haqqani, the deputy emir of the Taliban’s Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, is also a member of Al Qaeda’s leadership.
This intelligence information was cited in a footnote, which states that in addition to being a Taliban leader, Sirajuddin Haqqani "is also assessed to be a member of the wider Al Qaeda leadership, but not of the Al Qaeda core leadership (the Hattin Shura)," the Long War Journal noted.
The UN report does not make it clear what position Sirajuddin is thought to hold within Al Qaeda’s "wider" leadership, said the Long War Journal.
Al Qaeda was said to have a classical corporate structure familiar to any MBA, which suggests Mr. Sirajuddin is the regional vice president for Afghanistan. He clearly is responsible for the Taliban and Al Qaeda, but what about all those other Al Qaeda linked groups — does he also hold the portfolios for the Chechens and Uighurs and such?
"Al Qaeda threats will not be the same as in 2001 for few years ahead," former interior minister Gen. Massoud Andarabi said.
The Taliban did not comment on TOLOnews' questions about the claims, but previously they have rejected reports by UN monitoring teams.
"I think a (shared) interest would be in ... war affairs, or Afghanistan affairs or in fighting foreigners. I don’t think (the two groups) are united with these," said former Taliban commander Akbar Agha.
In 2019, the Al Qaeda leader in a message mentioned Sirajuddin Haqqani and Hibatullah Akhundzada as "our leaders from the Islamic emirate of Afghanistan" and expressed gratitude for the selection of Haqqani as the deputy leader of the Taliban.
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] The Islamist National Rally for Reform and Development (Tawasul)
...sometimes spelt Tewassoul, it’s the Muslim Brotherhood in Mauritania. As a result of the 2018 election, it became the second largest political party in Mauritania, and focus of the opposition...
called for pursuing a peaceful struggle to hold the regime responsible for the challenging situation the country is going through.
In statements received by the German Press Agency, the party said that after an emergency meeting of its executive office, it decided to adopt a peaceful program and call for a comprehensive dialogue.
It renewed its call for a comprehensive national dialogue that leads to a transformation that lays solid foundations for resolving the country's core problems.
Tawasul is the largest opposition party in the Mauritanian parliament. It granted the regime of President Mohammed Ould Cheikh el-Ghazouani, who took power in August 2019, a deadline to normalize the political atmosphere.
The party's position comes while growing public discontent over the country’s lack of security, which led to the death of dozens of innocent citizens killed by gangs in Nouakchott.
After series of incidents, the president toured a number of the capital's neighborhoods, during which he visited security units.
Meanwhile, ...back at the shootout, Butch shot Ike through the elbow. Take that, Ike! he yelled...... four opposition parties called on the government to put an end to the chaos and ensure the security and safety of citizens, in light of the unprecedented wave of disorder in the capital.
The opposition parties Ettakatol, the Union of Progress Forces, Sawab, and Democratic Forces signed a statement, warning that the current lack of security in the country undermines the prestige of the state and threatens a real catastrophe that may affect the citizens' lives.
They stated that this may constitute a serious threat to civil harmony and social peace, especially in poor and remote neighborhoods, without security or safety.
The parties expressed their strong dissatisfaction with the authorities’ indifference in the face of the seriousness of the drug scourge, noting that an increasing number of children and youth are turning to drugs and criminality.
During the past weeks, several citizens were stabbed to death by organized crime gangs under the influence of drugs.

Wouldn't want to breach his human rights. Give him a choice, Pakistan or we gather up a rape gang from within the prison population and let them take turns on this fellow. Bit of eye-for-an-eye justice.
They have excellent paper shredders, Mullah Richard. Into which they jokingly put the reams of information we sent Vauxhall Cross [and still do]. About the grooming, prostitution and p○rn industry Paki immigrants were arriving to build in the UK, aided by their plants in local councils and in social services.
This whole thing began in 2001, when a Paki taxi driver raped a christian girl, followed by cheers from the community; and then a special sermon from a two-bit Pakistani cleric [I forget his name] in London, trickling down to individual mosques all over. Then came the post 9/11 madness, and there was some justification given that it was war with the kaffir, and that stripping and parading the enemies' women, taking them for sport was all part of war. They started with kidnaps and date rapes, which they filmed and sent to Pakistan. By 2006, they had a sizeable operation, with several protectors like the Islamic Society, Young Muslims UK, Islam4UK etc.
We had intercepts between them and their cousins and religious teachers here in India, in Bangladesh, inviting them, boasting of choice kaffir varieties available and open season all year round with no law, no civil defenders, nothing to worry about [the language would make you throw up]. Some in India, who tried to leave for Britain for the rape-tours were caught and passports destroyed, their applications obstructed. Pakistan sent theirs proudly, the UK bureaucracy paving their way with permits, admissions and licenses and lenient checks on their pasts.
This is not some 'old boys get together' kind of shanty and camera operation. The price of a single video of a white girl being violated by moslem colonists is even today in the tens of pounds, down from the hundred to two hundred pounds it used to be some years ago. That metric alone tells you how fast they got the supply tapped [no pun, seriously].
At first there were more Sikh, Hindu children of other immigrants as victims. When it escaped prosecution altogether, they moved on to British children. There's now a whole menu of types, activities and positions they can be forced to do, and betting rings and bids and lucky draws. Muslim men join up on whatsapp and other apps [disguised as wedding parties and such] and bid on girls. Germany too has them, and I'm sure there will be some in the US. I will not share the printed material here, and it's mostly in urdu, but it's despicable literature, their rape club menus and manual. It's also still there on the darkWeb as 'FirdausHouse' and 'BYOBMarriageParty' and a couple of other names [they keep changing].
As for the Brits, we sent them names, numbers, addresses, past criminal records, entire histories drawn up painstakingly, complete dossiers of individuals we knew were talking to their friends in India, selling p○rn made from this enterprise. Yes, we are always interested in the disempowerment of Pakistanis in the west, and yes we were protecting our own in the UK, but this we did only in the service of innocent english communities we knew were being targeted. But those arrogant liberal legalist bastards are so in love with moslems and human equity, so dismissive of other agencies, they didn't listen. Some good ones kept raising the matter with their home office and still do. There are concerned citizens and groups there who have done more about this than two useless administrations and their fuck-all judiciary. It was only with Boris and his new cabinet that some semblance of action was expected. But whatever passes for it there is still not much. What this requires is not a legal solution. It requires societies to fight.
Our solution for it is a healthy nationalist right wing; legally protected mobs of fringe extremists cultivated just for the purpose of letting loose on muslims when they overstep their bounds. But sadly, this is too 'third world' an approach for the suicidally enlightened societies of the west. But let me tell you, it's what works with the islamists. And this is why I cheer for the kid who runs down Paki families, and raise my glass to the Christchurch Terminator. If you're still a god-cursed muslim, even after your fcuking religion encourages all this... rape, slavery, murder, indecency of every sort... none of you deserve to live.

We have articles in the Rantburg archives documenting grooming gangs going back to at least 1987 (See here for instance). So the British authorities have been ignoring Indian information for two generations — about the same length of time they’ve been ignoring their own elites preying on the same victim pool, having wholeheartedly adopted the idea that unrepressed man-child s3xual activity is healthy for all involved.
[Breitbart] A radical pan-Islamist organisation, which calls for the reinstatement of the caliphate and the global imposition of sharia law, has resurfaced in Britain amid the tension between Israel and Palestine.
Hizbut Tahrir ...an al-Qaeda recruiting organization banned in most countries. It calls for the reestablishment of the Caliphate... Britain, which was both David Cameron and Tony Blair tried to have banned in the UK, is reportedly behind a campaign to encourage Muslim armies of the world to “liberate” the Palestinian people in Gaza and the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.

[TRENDINGPOLITICS] A high-ranking Capitol Police official has resigned ahead of an impending report that is likely to scapegoat officers for security failures running up to the January 6th riots.
The Capitol Police official’s resignation is yet another domino to fall in the aftermath of the Capitol Riots. The first domino was set off by former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund stepping down, followed by the House and Senate sergeant-at-arms. Politico reported on the resignation on Monday:
Chad Thomas, the No. 2 Capitol Police official overseeing most of its uniformed officers, resigned from his position Monday as the department attempts to chart a path forward after the Jan. 6 insurrection, according to congressional and Capitol Police sources.
His departure comes as watchdogs urge the department to shift its posture from that of a police force to more of an intelligence-gathering and protective agency for members of Congress and as rank-and-file officers express frustration with current leadership.
Thomas had served as assistant chief of police for uniformed operations since 2019. A memo obtained by Politico stated that he was "separating from the Department," and it thanked him for his service.

If memory serves, a couple Capitol Police officers committed suicide right after the event. Funny how that disappeared. I'm pretty sure Ashli Babbitt didn't kill herself, though.
#2
Most of the injuries sustained by Capital Police were those too fat to get out of the way. Senior officers were gleefully carrying and shooting canisters of pepper spray at Protesters. They quickly became targets.
Be mindful, the progressives are purging the Capital Police ranks of any who might be conservative. Eventually they will be a spy network for the swamp.

I suspect many CP are too afraid to speak out the truth of what happened 1/6.
In a more civilized age, Mladic would be worm food.
[Rooters] United Nations war crimes judges on Tuesday upheld a genocide conviction and life sentence against former Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic, confirming his central role in Europe’s worst atrocities since World War Two.
Mladic, 78, led Bosnian Serb forces during Bosnia's 1992-95 war. He was convicted in 2017 on charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes including terrorising the civilian population of the Bosnian capital Sarajevo during a 43-month siege, and the killing of more than 8,000 Muslim men and boys taken prisoner in the eastern town of Srebrenica in 1995.
"His name should be consigned to the list of history's most depraved and barbarous figures," chief tribunal prosecutor Serge Brammertz said after the verdict. He urged all officials in the ethnically divided region of former Yugoslavia to condemn the ex-general. More at the link Should've had a long steady diet of ground glass in his meals
[NPASYRIA] On Tuesday, the chairman of the Security and Defense Committee of the Iraqi Parliament, Muhammad Rida Al Haidar, considered the Ottoman Turkish attacks and the deployment of its bases in the north of the country as a "violation of Iraqi illusory sovereignty," calling for "putting an end to that."
On June 6, front man for the Iraqi Presidency, Khalid Shwani, called for the necessity to prevent violating Iraqi illusory sovereignty, and for Ottoman Turkish forces to withdraw from the areas of the Kurdistan Region and djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... He considered it "a violation of the principle of good neighborliness, and a violation of international norms and covenants."
Today, a joint Iraqi parliamentary committee visited Duhok to follow up on the recent developments that claimed the lives of a number of Peshmerga members, about which there were different accounts, as well as to follow up on the issue of the Ottoman Turkish forces cutting trees in the border areas with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... In a joint presser with the Governor of Duhok, Ali Tatar, Rida Al Haidar said, "the committee will visit multiple sites of the Peshmerga and the border forces to see the field conditions in the border areas."
Al Haidar referred to what he described as the "difficult conditions and dangerous developments" that the region witnessed during the past few days.
"The continuous abuses of the Ottoman Turkish forces, as well as their establishment of fixed military bases inside Iraqi territory, are not permitted," considering that as " an occupation," Al Haidar said.
He added that his country has the right to respond, including resorting to the United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... , calling at the same time to "resolve the problems between the PKK and Turkey, and spare the Iraqi government these problems."
He expressed his hope for cooperation through joint coordination committees between the federal forces and Peshmerga.
He stressed the need to strengthen the border guards forces located in Zakho area on the Ottoman Turkish border.
However, a clean conscience makes a soft pillow... Ottoman Turkish attacks are not limited to border areas only, as they occasionally launch air attacks on Makhmour Camp and Sinjar area, the last of which was on June 5.
A Ottoman Turkish drone bombed the vicinity of Makhmour Camp on June 5, media said it resulted in a number of casualties, while the camp administration did not issue an explanation in this regard.

June 9; A congregation that had struggled to meet its fundraising target toward a new facility now finds itself with an excess of money after repackaging its appeal as a plea to "help a house of worship with construction after Israel's devastating bombardment in Gaza," an ambiguous phrase that international organizations simply assumed referred to a bombed-out mosque in Gaza and sent generous amounts with characteristic lack of oversight.
UNESCO, UNRWA, and three international aid organizations cut checks totaling more than $30M to Kol Rina that will allow the synagogue to construct an opulent new building with a large main sanctuary, a catering hall with kitchen, a library, a beit midrash (study hall), several classrooms, office space, and playrooms for childcare during services.

[FoxNews] Israeli Ambassador to the UN and US Gilad Erdan told the Associated Press on Monday that the Palestinian terror group Hamas was using its now destroyed Gaza building to obstruct the Iron Dome missile defense system, according to the Jerusalem Post and the Times of Israel.
"That is why it was prioritized [as a target] by the IDF during last month’s operation,’" the Times of Israel reported about the meeting between Erdan and the AP's Gary Pruitt and Ian Phillips.
Israel leveled the Gaza media tower, which had also housed Al Jazeera, in an air strike last month. The strike drew howls of outrage from the press, but some Middle East voices said the Israeli airstrike on the building would be justified by the explanation.
"Entirely legitimate," international human rights lawyer Arsen Ostrovsky said following the reports.
"Hamas deliberately embeds itself among the press to shield its terrorism against Israel," the American Israel Public Affairs Committee tweeted. "Defeating terrorism is necessary for peace."
"And the media is still complaining about the offices being destroyed," added conservative journalist Kassy Dillon.
Pruitt said last month the wire service was "shocked and horrified that the Israeli military would target and destroy the building housing AP’s bureau and other news organizations in Gaza." He also claimed that the AP didn't know Hamas was active in the building.
The explanation was the most detailed one yet given publicly by Israeli officials. While Erdan acknowledged that the electronic system had not yet been operational when the IDF took out the tower, the ambassador told AP executives that the "building posed such an imminent threat to Israeli civilians and was [therefore] prioritized by the IDF."
Erdan also mentioned an earlier reason given by the IDF for the strike, saying the tower housed offices for Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw,’s military intelligence, its research and development department and a tech unit.
In an accompanying statement, the military said its strike was aimed at destroying Hamas’s equipment.
"According to IDF assessments, the equipment was in the building at the time of the strike. The strike was designed to collapse the building in order to ensure the destruction of the special means," the IDF said.
"The target was of high military value to Hamas and was vetted according to rigorous procedures within the IDF, and in accordance with international law," the military added.
The meeting with Erdan "was a positive and constructive conversation," the AP said in a statement. The agency expressed its appreciation for his pledges to help rebuild an AP bureau in 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 Hamaswith 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... . The AP renewed its call to see evidence backing Israel’s claim that Hamas was operating in the building.

[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] Residents of Damascus expressed disappointment as government services, which were remarkably improved during the electoral campaign, have again worsened as the presidential elections ended.
During the electoral campaigns that lasted for more than a week and preceded the elections that took place on May 26, electricity supply in most areas of Damascus witnessed a noticeable improvement, as rationing was decreased from four hours of power cuts to only two hours, while drinking water was pumped 24 hours a day.
That period also witnessed a continuous activity of street cleaners, who worked all day long, removing garbage from main and secondary streets and avenues. The residents also noticed stability in the prices of vegetables, fruits and many foodstuffs.
However, the hip bone's connected to the leg bone... one day after the announcement of the victory of Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Terror of Aleppo ... for a fourth term with 95.1 percent of votes, the situation returned to ’normal’, as power rationing severed surpassing sometimes four hours, with several cuts of 20-30 minutes during the supply hours.
