Chris, fair question, but I'd suggest that the last thing we want is for the FBI/DOJ (and especially the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ) to get involved. They'll indict the Dancing Grannies for damaging Brooks' car.

[ToloNews] Japan's ambassador to Afghanistan, Takashi Okada, in a meeting with the PM's Deputy for Political Affairs, Mawlawi Abdul Kabir, said his country will reopen its embassy in Kabul if security is assured, said an Islamic Emirate official.
Inamullah Samangani, deputy front man of the Islamic Emirate, said Okada and Abdul Kabir met on Tuesday and discussed Afghanistan-Japan relations and humanitarian aid.
According to Samangani, Okada at the meeting said his country will engage with the Islamic Emirate and will reopen its embassy in Kabul.
"We intend to reopen our embassy after security is assured. A joint framework should be created for practical measures," Okada said as quoted by Samangani on Twitter.
The Japanese ambassador also said that his country would continue its humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, adding that aid should arrive in Afghanistan before winter sets in, as quoted by Samangani.
The remarks follow the reopening of the United Arab Emirates embassy in Kabul a few days ago.
Afghanistan’s deputy narcotics minister reportedly met with a representative of the company on Tuesday, who pledged a $450 million investment for the project, according to the Pajhwok news agency.
Cpharm did not immediately respond to Al Arabiya English’s request for comment.
Khosty said that the company, which produces medicinal cannabis cream, would be given access to thousands of acres of Afghan cannabis crops.
After taking control of Afghanistan in August, the Taliban ...Arabic for students... vowed to crack down on cannabis production in the country.
Yussef Wafa, a Taliban governor of Kandahar, said in October that the group had been arresting drug users and would not let farmers grow cannabis or opium poppies.
Farmers reported seeing no real change in the group’s attitudes towards them, however.
Cannabis and opium crops were known to be significant sources of revenue for the hardline group when it operated as an insurgency under the US-led occupation of Afghanistan.

I think letting various Western corporations try their luck at commerce in the Stan is a great way to apply Darwinsim to greedy business types. As long as it's gullible shareholders rather than taxpayers (who basically are allowed no say in the matter) getting skinned back, it's all good.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok will review appointments and dismissals made by the military to key state posts, the General Secretariat of the cabinet said.
After seizing power on Oct. 25, Sudan’s military rulers drew on veteran ex-officials of toppled leader Omar al-Bashir ...Former President-for-Life of Sudan He came to power in 1989 when he, as a brigadier in the Sudanese army, led a group of officers in a bloodless military coup that ousted the government of Prime Minister Sadiq al-Mahdi and eventually appointed himself head cheese. He fell out with his Islamic mentor, Hasan al-Turabi, tried to impose shariah on the Christian and animist south, resulting in its secessesion, and attempted to Arabize Darfur by unleashing the barbaric Janjaweed on it. Sudan's potential prosperity has been pissed away in warfare that has left as many as 400,000 people dead and 2.5 million displaced. Hee was overthrown by popular consent in 2019. Omar has been indicted for genocide by the International Criminal Court but nothing is expected to come of it... for important positions in the state bureaucracy.
Hamdok, who was arrested during the coup and then reinstated under a deal with the military reached on Sunday, issued a directive to freeze all hiring and dismissals in state jobs.
"In addition, all the appointments and dismissals that have taken place in the previous period will be placed under study, evaluation and review," said the secretariat.

[An Nahar] Israel and Morocco signed a landmark agreement Wednesday that lays the foundation for security cooperation, intelligence sharing, and future arms sales.The memorandum of understanding is the centerpiece of a visit this week by Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz to Morocco, which established formal relations with Israel last year as part of the U.S.-brokered Abraham Accords.
Gantz's trip is the first official visit by an Israeli defense minister to one of the Arab states that normalized ties under the accords.
In a statement, Gantz said that the agreement was "very significant and will allow us to exchange ideas, enter joint projects and enable Israeli military exports here."
The agreement was signed during a meeting between Gantz and his Moroccan counterpart Abdellatif Loudiyi in Rabat, with military attaches and two Israeli parliament members in attendance. Gantz also met with the Moroccan military chief of staff, and was greeted by a color guard of soldiers clad in red tunics, blue slacks and gleaming gold epaulets.
Ahead of his meeting with Loudiyi, Gantz paid his respects at the tomb of Mohammed V, the grandfather of the reigning monarch.
Morocco, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan signed agreements to normalize relations with Israel in 2020 as part of the Abraham Accords, which were brokered by the Trump administration.
Israel and Morocco enjoyed low-level diplomatic relations in the 1990s, but Morocco severed them after a Paleostinian uprising erupted in 2000. Despite that, the two states have maintained informal relations. Nearly half a million Israelis claim Moroccan heritage — more than 200,000 immigrated to Israel after the founding of the state in 1948 — and thousands visit the country each year.

Wonderful! Little by little the arab nations are recognizing Israel.

Let us hope the US continues to recognize Israel! (Given the current streak of antisemitism in many Democrats, they sometimes seem like they want to unrecognize Israel.)

[BenarNews] Indonesia’s arrest of more than 300 suspected bully boyz this year has uncovered just how successfully Jemaah Islamiyah, the group that carried out the 2002 Bali bombings, has rebuilt itself over the last 13 years.
Between January and mid-November, Indonesian security forces said they arrested 339 people and killed 18 terrorist suspects. This marks a 56 percent increase from 2020.
Jemaah Islamiyah, or JI, which was banned in 2008, leaned heavily on infiltrating Islamic socio-religious organizations to scout for recruits, gather funds, and even become politically influential via quasi-state religious organizations.
This tactic has complicated counterterrorism operations as crackdowns against members of religious groups are increasingly viewed as targeting Moslems. Stymieing JI’s future would require the government to complement mass arrests with inclusive, grassroots counter-radicalization programs and increased transparency of counterterrorism operations.

[An Nahar] UNIFIL Spokesperson Andrea Tenenti has dismissed what he called "unsubstantiated allegations," after al-Mayadeen TV mentioned UNIFIL’s naval force in a report about the Beirut port blast and the ship that carried the huge quantity of the explosive ammonium nitrate substance."Some recent media reports speculating on the activities of the UNIFIL Maritime Task Force (MTF) in the context of the tragic Beirut port explosion of 4 August 2020 have made unsubstantiated allegations with disregard to UNIFIL's mandate and the way the MTF operates," Tenenti said in response to a question by state-run National News Agency about the report.
He explained that UNIFIL’s MTF has been deployed at the request of the Government of Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...In 2020 Hezbollah blew up a considerable portion of Beirut and many of its inhabitants when its ammonium nitrate facility exploded. They blamed it on... somebody else. It wasn't them though. Trust them on that. And it ain't never coming to trial... for "very specific tasks in support of the Lebanese authorities."
"The nature of such assistance is clearly defined by the Lebanese authorities, who retain the sovereign prerogative and related responsibility to secure their maritime borders," Tenenti added.
"Accordingly, as requested by the government, the role of UNIFIL’s MTF is to hail ships that are approaching Lebanon and refer any suspicious ships to the Lebanese authorities, who are the ones responsible for carrying out the inspection of those ships independently. UNIFIL cannot board and conduct physical inspection of any vessel in Lebanese territorial waters unless specifically requested by the Lebanese authorities," the UNIFIL front man pointed out.
He added: "UNIFIL’s MTF is also not responsible for authorizing entry into Lebanese ports. This again is the sovereign prerogative of the Lebanese authorities. As such, after a ship has been referred to the Lebanese authorities, UNIFIL has no involvement unless the Lebanese authorities were to request any further assistance within the scope of UNIFIL's mandate."
"With respect to the Beirut port explosion, due to the ongoing judicial investigation, it will not be appropriate for UNIFIL to comment on this particular case. However, alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk... UNIFIL has been fully cooperating with the Lebanese judicial authorities and has provided them with all requested assistance within the scope of UNIFIL's mandate," Tenenti stressed.
"In this context, some accusations made in the media misrepresent the way in which UNIFIL operates," he added, calling upon all concerned to "refrain from baseless and misleading speculations on such a serious and tragic matter."

[An Nahar] Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Wally Jumblat ...Druze politician, head of the Progressive Socialist Party, who's been on every side in Leb at least four times. He'll sell you his friends for a dollar, but family comes higher because of shipping and handling... has said the principle of "managing or suspending the disagreements" with Hizbullah ...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... is still valid.
He told al-Joumhouria newspaper, in remarks published Wednesday, that "one has the right to raise his voice sometimes in order to express a position or a cry."
Jumblat had said earlier this month that his "patience on Hizbullah is running out," describing the fuel trucks that Hizbullah imported from Iran ...Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979... as "beggary" and accusing Hizbullah of "ruining the lives" of the Lebanese who work in the Gulf in connection with the diplomatic crisis with 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... .
