[REGNUM] Afghanistan to punish cannabis cultivation under Sharia law
Cannabis cultivation has been banned in Afghanistan. The corresponding decree was signed by the leader of the Taliban movement (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) Hibatullah Akhundzada.
According to the document, "the courts are ordered to punish offenders according to Sharia law."
Recall that in early February, the Special Representative of the President of Russia for Afghanistan, Director of the Second Department of Asia of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Zamir Kabulov noted that Russia was disappointed with the actions of the Taliban in governing Afghanistan, since the Taliban has not learned to cope with such challenges as terrorism and drugs.
As REGNUM reported , at the end of 2022, after complaints from local residents about an increase in the number of drug addicts in the city of Ghazni in Afghanistan, the Taliban (an organization whose activities are banned in Russia) gathered all drug-using citizens and locked them in a gym in the Baghe-Zanan city park. in the Ali Lalai pilgrimage area .

heroin/opium/cannabis! lets ban the least harmful.they just dont want a contented populace.
[Garowe] The Chief of Defense Forces of Somalia National Army [SNA] General Odowaa Yusuf Rageh has concluded his two-day working trip to Kenya where he visited various Kenya Defense Forces [KDF] facilities across the East Africa nation, terming the visit as "very informative and necessary for defense cooperation".
After being hosted by his Kenyan counterpart General Robert Kibochi, Rageh, 36, the youngest head of the military within the region, paid homage to the KDF School of Infantry in Isiolo. The Infantry battalion is known for defending the nation by directly fighting the enemy on the battlefield in combat.
On his second day, General Rageh toured the Kenya Military Academy in Nakuru which trains Cadets where he was ushered in by Commandant Major General Fatuma Ahmed. The Commander and his entourage were later flown to Embakasi in Nairobi, where he visited both the Humanitarian Peace Support Training Centre [HPSS] and the Defence Forces Technical Training College [DEFTEC].
During the trip, KDF said in a statement, General Odawaa and his delegation were taken through elaborate briefs covering the institutions’ respective mandates and an extensive tour of the training facilities and programs with a scope spanning from foundational to advanced military training and education vital in shaping the modern-day soldier.
On his part, Brigadier General Odowaa said Somalia picks lessons from Kenya as it walks through the difficult journey of meeting demands to face contemporary security threats. His trip comes days after frontline nations led by Kenya, Æthiopia, and Djibouti promised to deploy more soldiers to Somalia in the wake of heightened campaigns against al-Shabaab ...... Somalia's version of the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... , functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... Already, Æthiopia has dispatched troops who will be joining their counterparts serving in 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... Transition Mission in Somalia [ATMIS]. It is anticipated that once the three countries deploy non-ATMIS troops, the number would rise from the current 22,000 to about 25,000 but the number might reduce after 2024, the year when ATMIS is supposed to leave Somalia.
He further commended the institutions he had visited as ideal model training centers that meet the demands of the trainees to face contemporary security threats. The visit comes in the wake of the onset of a gradual drawdown of troops serving under the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) and the subsequent reconfiguration and training of Somalia Security Forces to take over the security mandate and responsibility from ATMIS Forces.
[IsraelTimes] Shaima Dallali’s lawyers argue she was removed because of ’antipathy’ to pro-Paleostinian views, Islamic faith, despite apologies and inquiry finding tweets were only ’discourteous’
The former head of the United Kingdom’s largest student representative body announced Friday that she is suing the union, claiming her removal after a months-long investigation into antisemitism allegations against her was discriminatory.
Shaima Dallali’s lawyers argued in a statement that the dismissal of the National Union of Students president was prompted by "antipathy" toward her pro-Paleostinian views and Islamic faith — protected under the UK’s Equality Act — and that the disciplinary process against her was unfair.
The statement said Dallali "was the subject of numerous complaints as well as personal abuse and threats, to the effect that her past articulation of her anti-Zionist beliefs amounted to antisemitism."
Dallali is seeking damages over her dismissal and has also launched an appeal against her removal through the NUS’s internal appeals procedure.
After Dallali’s election in March 2020, the Union of Jewish Students highlighted various anti-Israeli and allegedly antisemitic comments she is alleged to have made, including a post 10 years ago that read: "Khaybar Khaybar O Jews... Muhammad’s army will return 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... ," referring to the Battle of Khaybar in 628 CE, during which Moslem troops reportedly attacked Jewish natives in the town of Khaybar. Dallali has since apologized for the social media post.
A probe was subsequently launched last year by Queen’s Counsel Rebecca Tuck into the claims. Dallali was then suspended from her position in August, then dismissed in November over her "unacceptable" comments and "significant breaches" of union policy, the NUS said.
Dallali’s lawyers claimed she was dismissed despite the inquiry determining that three of her posts were just "discourteous," while adding that she did not believe her "Khaybar Khaybar" tweet to be antisemitic when she wrote it.
The lawyers argued the process was unfair in several ways, charging that Dallali was denied legal representation in the proceedings, the NUS refused to read her written submissions, and did not facilitate witnesses to be called to support her defense.
The lawyers stressed that the ousted student union head "has apologized fully and repeatedly since, much as both before and during her tenure as president of the NUS she has repeatedly made clear her opposition to all forms of racism, including antisemitism while continuing to campaign to denounce the plight of the Paleostinian people."
"It is Ms. Dallali’s position that these four tweets patently did not amount to a dismissible offense and that there can be no rational explanation for dismissing her on this (or any other) basis," the statement read.
On Friday, an NUS spokesperson told the Jewish Chronicle that the group believed the probe to be "thorough and fair."
"There is no room for doubt that this process has been as robust as it gets. We understand the former president has now submitted employment tribunal proceedings," the spokesperson said.
"Our focus is to represent all students and to rebuild NUS to be an inclusive and progressive force for good. We are taking steps to enact our antisemitism action plan and to mobilize students to campaign for a better future," the NUS added.
NUS is a confederate association of around 600 students’ unions, representing more than seven million students.
[WIRE] Mexico’s president blamed "a lack of love" in American families for the deadly fentanyl crisis ravaging the U.S.
President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said in a Friday news conference that the deterioration of values in American households has caused the drug crisis that claimed 70,000 American lives last year.
"There is a lot of disintegration of families, there is a lot of individualism, there is a lack of love, of brotherhood, of hugs and embraces," López Obrador said, according to the Associated Press. "That is why they (U.S. officials) should be dedicating funds to address the causes."
The Mexican president has denied that fentanyl is produced in Mexico and said that people in his country don’t consume the drug, but according to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Mexican transnational criminal organizations are "increasingly producing wholesale quantities of illicit fentanyl pills and smuggling them into the United States." The DEA said that Mexico’s two largest cartels, the Sinaloa and the New Generation Jalisco, "are likely the primary trafficking groups responsible for smuggling fentanyl into the United States from Mexico."
In December, Customs and Border Protection caught a train heading into Arizona from Mexico transporting 700,000 fentanyl pills. The DEA reported that 50.6 million fake prescription pills laced with fentanyl and 10,000 pounds of fentanyl powder had been found in the U.S. last year.
López Obrador’s deflection and criticism of the U.S. comes after he threatened to meddle in American elections after Republican politicians called for using the U.S. military to go after Mexico’s powerful drug cartels. Controversy around the issue erupted after four Americans were kidnapped by a cartel in Mexico last week and two of them were murdered.

Not American families. Our own government undermines families at every turn. Why work. Why purchase a home. Why have a family. The youth in many countries are turning away. Here we have the perfect safety net of social programs. Weed is everywhere now and used by all ages. I say this as I see it every day. Soon medical grade available July without an RX. Well maybe not medical grade but to be sold in all its varieties like gummies.

Acquiring helicopters is one thing. Maintaining and operating them is another. Many pitfalls await anyone who would defy gravity in such a crude way.

Doesn’t sound like they were American made. Perhaps getting the pilots some flight hours before loading them up with passengers would have been advisable. Looks like F= ma was proven yet again.

[IsraelTimes] Unnamed official says Jerusalem concerned Moscow may promote formal resolution at UN Security Council; report comes days after Israel said to authorize anti-drone tech to Kyiv.
[Rudaw] A court in Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites.... on Saturday handed down death sentence ...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead... s to two people in connection with a deadly attack on a Shiite shrine last year. Another three defendants were given prison terms.
The two sentenced to death were convicted of "aiding in the corruption on earth, rebellion and action against the security of the country," the chief justice of Fars province Kazem Mousavi announced, according to Mizan Online.
Mousavi said the pair was directly involved in arming and guiding the main perpetrator of the attack who was killed in a clash with police forces during his arrest.
Thirteen people were killed when a gunman attacked the Shiite holy site of Shah Cheragh in Shiraz last October. Authorities quickly blamed Sunni Moslem murderous Moslems.
Three other defendants were handed prison sentences of five, 15, and 25 years for membership in the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group (ISIS).
