Better than throwing paint on the paintings. Hopefully this kind of protest will take off and the ladies will be more like the top image than the bottom.

[Regnum] Russia has sent a request to the Niger leadership for assistance in connection with information about the capture of two geologists by terrorists. This was reported on August 9 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova. The commentary was published on the website of the Foreign Ministry.
"The Embassy of the Russian Federation in Bamako (Republic of Mali), representing our interests in Niger, is in constant contact with the Niger authorities. A request for assistance was also addressed to Malian partners," the diplomat specified.
Zakharova added that Moscow intends to continue its efforts to free the hostages. The Foreign Ministry representative also expressed hope that terrorist and other destructive forces will not be able to hinder Russia's growing cooperation with the Sahara-Sahel states.
The diplomat reported that on July 18, in the southwest of Niger, in the Mbange region (Tillaberi region), terrorists from the Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims (GSIM), which has links to Al-Qaeda (a terrorist organization banned in Russia), attacked geologists. As a result, four people were kidnapped and several Nigerien servicemen were killed.
On August 2, a video appeared on social media showing two hostages. One of them introduced himself as Oleg Gret, the other as Yuri Yurov. According to available information, Gret is a Russian citizen, and Yurov has Ukrainian citizenship.
"According to the abductees, they worked in Niger as employees of a Russian company and were "detained" by GSIM. The geologists did not report any demands from the terrorists," Zakharova said.
As reported by Regnum News Agency, in Niger, militants from the Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims announced that they had taken two people hostage. On August 2, the terrorists published a video in which two alleged Russian men claimed to have been kidnapped in Mbang, in southwestern Niger.
In the video, one of the hostages identified himself as a geologist. According to him, he is Russian but lives in Ukraine. The second said that he arrived in the country a month ago to work for a Russian company.
[GEO.TV] The Foreign Office has rejected all speculations regarding the purported involvement of Pakistain in the recent unrest in Bangladesh that forced the country's longtime ruler the loathesome Sheikh Hasina ...Bangla dynastic politician and now exiled former Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She was President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections. She once before held the office, from 1996 to 2001, when she was defeated in a landslide. She and the head of the BNP, Khaleda Zia showed such blind animosity toward each other that they are known as the Battling Begums. That is probably because Khaleda's late husband was the Pak tool who had Mujib assassinated... Wazed to step down and flee the country.
"Pakistain rejects all such statements. Such statements depict India's disturbing obsession with Pakistain. Indian politicians and their media have a habit of blaming Pakistain for their failures in domestic and foreign policy," FO Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said on Friday.
The remark came in response to a question regarding the commentary on Indian media regarding Pakistain's alleged involvement in the situation in the South Asian country.
Bangladesh witnessed one of the deadliest turmoil in its history when millions of students erupted into the streets, initially seeking the abolition of a controversial quota system in government jobs and later an apology and resignation from the then-prime minister.
As the protests grew lethal and intense, Hasina stepped down and fled the country and took shelter in India. Later, the country's army announced the formation of a new interim government headed by Nobel Peace laureate Muhammad Yunus as per students' demand.
At least 300 people were killed in weeks of deadly protests that ended the her rule after 15 long years.

[Ynet] The Flemish novelist and columnist Herman Briusselmans who looks Woody Allen's double
accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of murdering children and dragging the world into World War III in his regular Flemish HUMO magazine column published in Belgium. In his writing he incited violence against Jews as a result of the ongoing war in Gaza. Notice the interesting logic: Gazans civilians not responsible for Hamas but all the Jews in the World share the guilt for Israel's "crimes".

The 2 previous times Europe went crazy and started murdering certain groups, it did not end well for Europe.
[Ynet] The International Federation of Medical Student Associations, IFMSA, decided by a two-thirds majority vote to suspend the association of students from Israel for two years because of the war in Gaza and accusations of genocide and "a lack of morals and humanitarian values," Ynet has learned.

Moscow, August 9, 2024, 17:05 — Regnum News Agency. Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Mikhail Bogdanov expressed concern about the danger of expanding confrontation in the Middle East at a meeting with Lebanese Ambassador Shawki Bou Nassar, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported on August 9.
t
During the conversation, the parties discussed the military-political situation in the Middle East, which threatens to escalate into a large-scale conflict in the future.
“Deep concern was expressed over the danger of an escalation of armed confrontation in the region with unpredictable consequences,” the ministry said.
Russia, for its part, confirmed its unwavering position in supporting the unity, territorial integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon.
Bogdanov and Shawki Bou Nassar also discussed current issues of further strengthening the traditionally friendly Russian-Lebanese ties, including holding events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the countries.
The meeting took place at the initiative of the Lebanese Ambassador to Moscow.
As reported by Regnum News Agency, tensions in the Middle East increased in late July after the head of the Palestinian Hamas Politburo, Ismail Haniyeh, and one of his bodyguards were killed in an attack on their residence in Tehran on July 31. Hamas blamed Israel for the attack. Iran sent a message to the Israeli leadership via Hungary about its plans to attack the Jewish state.
On August 5, the media reported that four Israeli Air Force planes flew over Beirut, violating Lebanese airspace.
On August 6, the G7 countries called on the participants in the conflict in the Middle East to exercise restraint. The states expressed confidence that no party or people would benefit from further escalation of tensions in the Middle East.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Aty discussed the situation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone on August 4. The ministers called for a speedy ceasefire and a general de-escalation of the situation in the region.
[Jpost] Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... would struggle to meet even a fraction of its aid needs if full-scale war erupts between Israel and Hezbollah, a bigwig said, as it seeks increased donor support amid persistent border festivities.
Nasser Yassin, the minister overseeing contingency planning for a wider conflict, told Rooters Lebanon would need $100 million monthly for food, shelter, healthcare and other needs in a worst-case scenario.
"A small fraction, even 10 to 15 percent of that, would be huge for the government. We will need donors to step up," Yassin said. Ask Iran
International aid is already falling short. Lebanon has received only a third of the $74 million sought over the course of the 10-month conflict between Iran-backed Hezbollah and Israel.
"Humanitarian funding in many places has been reduced to a minimal level of just keeping heads above water. Some organizations are even slashing funding for critical life-saving matters," Yassin added. Ask Iran
Lebanon's state, hollowed out by a five-year economic crisis left to fester by ruling elites, struggled to provide basic services even before the current conflict began alongside the 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 Hamas with 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... war.
Nearly 100,000 Lebanese, mainly from the south, have been displaced, as well as more than 60,000 Israelis, according to official figures.
While Israel houses its displaced in government-funded accommodation, Lebanon relies on ill-equipped public schools or informal arrangements such as staying with family or friends. If you can't afford it, don't start a war. Don't even let your shadow government start a war.
