[ToloNews] A group of around 180 Afghanistan Hindu and Sikhs is likely to reach India on Wednesday, the Times of India reported on Tuesday.
The combined Sikh and Hindu population in Afghanistan numbered 220,000 in the 1980s, which dropped to 15,000 when the mujahideen ruled during the 1990's followed by the Taliban. It’s currently estimated that 1,350 Hindus and Sikhs remain.
Efforts are underway to evacuate relatives of all persons who died in the Kabul kaboom in March that claimed 25 lives at a Hindu and Sikh place of worship, the report said.
"As many as 180 Sikhs and Hindus are likely to leave Kabul on Wednesday," sources in Kabul told The Times of India on Monday.
The minority Hindu and Sikh community is in panic following attacks on them, and blamed the Afghan Sikh leadership for not caring about their safety, said sources quoted by The Times of India.
Their number in Afghanistan had come down to around 700, the report said.
The first batch of 11 Afghan Sikhs and Hindus arrived in India on July 26.
[ToloNews] The Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday reacted to reports that Pak military forces were conducting illegal fencing along the Durand Line — the de facto border between Afghanistan and Pakistain--saying Afghanistan has already shared its grievances and has protested the move through through diplomatic channels.
"In this regard, any action which has been taken by Pakistain, the Foreign Ministry of the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Afghanistan has recorded its protest regarding the issue through the Afghan embassy in Islamabad to Pakistain’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Pak Embassy in Kabul," said Geran Hewad, a front man for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Local officials in Kunar have also confirmed the move by Pak military forces.

[Al Ahram] Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... 's President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi will leave 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... and head to the United States for medical treatment early on Wednesday, two sources close to the matter told Rooters on Tuesday.
The head of the country's internationally-recognised government, who has lived in exile in Riyadh since the Iranian-aligned Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... group captured the Yemeni capital Sanaa in 2015, has been treated for a heart condition since 2011.He is set to return in a week, the sources said.
Hadi has been on several trips for medical checks and treatment to the United States, most recently in June 2019.
Yemen's conflict has killed more than 100,000 people since a Saudi-led alliance intervened in Yemen in March 2015 to try to restore Hadi's government, an ally of Riyadh. The war is largely seen regionally as a proxy struggle between Riyadh and Tehran.

What is it with Arabs and utterly loony theories like this? Like, he doesn't even have a fake cause, he's just saying that "something I don't like equals EXPLOSION". I mean, yeah, I know, Western academics are basically utterly nuts too, but they never come up with anything entertaining, they just kind of compete for the title of "Dumbest Theory of the Week".

He might be right. My personal theory is that all the explosions and fires are caused by too much oxygen in the atmosphere. It's a very reactive gas, you know.

[RedState] Earlier on Monday, my colleague Sister Toldjah shared an update on the Black Lives Matter violence and mayhem in Louisville, Ky., in the wake of the death of Breonna Taylor by local coppers in March. She wrote that "[a]fter BLM escalated their tactics last week in harassing and/or assaulting pedestrians and restaurant patrons, and damaging property, the Louisville PD has had enough — and is banning street protests for the foreseeable future."
And Nick Arama wrote last week about Mafia-esque, strong-arm tactics by BLM groups against Louisville business owners.
But it’s worth asking if there’s more going on behind the scenes that can only worsen the situation in the Bluegrass State.

[Jpost] The Paleostinian Authority renewed security coordination with the US after receiving assurances that a planned annexation of parts of the West Bank would not occur, according to Channel 12 news.
The PA halted security coordination with the US and Israel earlier this year after Israel announced plans to annex parts of the West Bank as part of the Trump administration's Middle East peace plan.
[ALMASDARNEWS] On Tuesday, a Lebanese newspaper revealed the potential candidate for the next prime minister of the Lebanese government, after Hassan Diab announced the resignation of the government and its transformation into a caretaker government.
The al-Joumhouria newspaper reported that ex-prime minister Saad Hariri ...Second son of Rafik Hariri, the Leb PM who was assassinated in 2005. He has was prime minister in his own right from 2009 through early 2011. He was born in Riyadh to an Iraqi mother and graduated from Georgetown University. He managed his father's business interests in Riyadh until his father's assassination. When his father died he inherited a fortune of some $4.1 billion, which won't do him much good if Hizbullah has him bumped off, too.... is the most likely replacement, but the matter is not definitively settled, as reliable sources have confirmed that this matter needs serious consultations, especially since Hariri has certain conditions that he previously had announced it before the formation of the current government.
Citing government sources, al-Joumhouria said that consultations will take place at a rapid pace in order to combat the ongoing economic crisis and upheaval inside the country.
It should be noted that Saad Hariri previously said he was not interested in the premiership, especially after the collapse of his prior government.
On Monday, Lebanese Prime Minister Hassan Diab announced resignation of his government; this was preceded by the resignation of several ministers and parliamentarians.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The head of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Yadallah Jawani, revealed the "main reason" for the liquidation of the commander of the Quds Force, General Qassem Soleimani , by the U.S., claiming that "it was a strategic goal through which they sought to stop the resistance in the region and change the course of developments that were in the interest of the resistance."
Jawani said, in an interview with the Fars News Agency, that "when the resistance in the region becomes strong, this means weakening the anti-it movement in our region represented by the Zionist entity and reactionary regimes associated with foreign powers as well as foreign powers, the counterpart of the United States in the region."
He referred to the statement of the Iranian Leader Ali Khamenei ...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini... during his meeting with the Iraqi Prime Minister that "the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today 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. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... will never forget the case of the liquidation of the martyr Soleimani and the martyr Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, and we will definitely deal a blow to the Americans."
Jawani added: "The Americans estimated that the main reason for their defeats over the past two decades in the region was Iran, especially the Revolutionary Guard, particularly the Quds Force, whose activity revolves around the axis of the martyr Qassem Soleimani, and from here they believed that striking Soleimani would enable them to stop the course of developments and change them.” .

the main reason was because we could.
and the only thing they can do about it is fire some missiles at the desert, shoot down a civilian airliner and sink a wooden aircraft carrier in their own port.
