Yes, she's very nice. But I can't help noticing that was a more genteel era when phonographs and radios were fine furniture and not plastic boxes. For a few decades, television sets were that way too. Now they're just flat black screens hanging on the wall.

CODECO (French: Coopérative pour le développement du Congo) is a loose association of various Lendu militia groups operating within the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
[IsraelTimes] The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) says that a staff member held captive by Houthi rebels in Yemen has died.
“WFP is grief-stricken and outraged about the death of a staff member while in detention in northern Yemen,” the agency says in a statement on X.
He was identified as a Yemeni staff member “arbitrarily detained by local authorities since 23 January,” though the circumstances of his death were not specified.
The employee, who WFP said had worked for the UN since 2017, left behind a wife and two children.
The United Nations announced the suspension Monday of its activities in Yemen’s Saada region, a Huthi stronghold, after the rebels detained multiple personnel there this year.
The Iran-backed Houthi have arrested dozens of staffers from the UN and other humanitarian organizations, most of them since the middle of 2024, as Yemen’s decade-long civil war grinds on.
In January alone, the rebels detained eight UN workers, including six in Saada, which adds to the dozens of NGO and UN personnel detained since June.
The Houthi claimed the June arrests included “an American-Israeli spy network” operating under the cover of humanitarian organizations — allegations emphatically rejected by the UN Human Rights Office.
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Five civilians, including African migrants colonists, were maimed in Saudi attacks on border areas in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country.

Local sources reported that four civilians were maimed in Saudi army shelling on the al-Raqu and al-Sheikh areas in the Monabbih district, while another civilian was injured by Saudi gunfire in the al-Thabet area of the Qatabir district.
The border regions of Saada have been witnessing continued attacks by the Saudi military, resulting in thousands of casualties and widespread destruction of residents' properties.
Saada's police department announced that 1,117 non-combatants were killed in 2024 due to 1,015 violations by the Saudi military, despite the agreement on de-escalation and a ceasefire.

[Regnum] The High Qualification Collegium of Judges has allowed a criminal case to bem: opened against Ingushetia judge Alikhan Yalhev, who released members of a group involved in the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall near Moscow, the bombing of the Nevsky Express, and the murder of the head of the Russian Armed Forces' NBC Protection Troops, General Igor Kirillov.
The board made this decision at a meeting on February 11.
“The board examined the submission of the Chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, Alexander Bastrykin <…> and decided to give consent to the initiation of a criminal case,” the board’s chairman, Nikolai Timoshin, read out the board’s decision.
The judge of the Nazran District Court is suspected of collusion with members of the Batalkhadzhin extremist group
… a Sufi Ingush clan estimated 5,000 to 20,000, which at the moment are fighting alongside Ukraine. For some reason Chechen big turban Ramzan Kadyrov declared them his brothers …
(the movement is recognized as terrorist and banned in the Russian Federation). According to the Telegram channel Mash, Yaryzhev previously sentenced relatives of radicals involved in the explosion of the Nevsky Express to suspended sentences, when a grenade launcher, a grenade, and a Makarov pistol were found on them during their arrest.
According to one version, Yaryzhev acted at the request of the Chairman of the Council of Judges of the Republic of Ingushetia, Magomed Aushev. After the prosecutor's office intervened, Aushev was stripped of his status as a judge and was put under investigation. Now Yaryzhev may also be held accountable, the channel noted.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on March 22, 2024, terrorists broke into the Crocus City Hall in Krasnogorsk, Moscow Region, and opened fire on visitors and employees of the concert hall. In addition, the terrorists started a fire. As a result of the terrorist attack, 145 people were killed, and another 551 people were injured. The Investigative Committee opened several criminal cases, including under Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Terrorist attack").
In December 2024, law enforcement officers detained four Batalkhadzhin terrorists who helped carry out the attack at Crocus City Hall. During a search, they were found to have weapons, and in their mobile phones, correspondence with the leaders of the organization hiding abroad.
The company Crocus International was recognized as a victim in the case of a terrorist act that occurred during the performance of the group Piknik in the Crocus City Hall concert hall in March 2024. This was stated in court, TASS reports.
“To recognize the joint-stock company Crocus International as a victim in a criminal case initiated under Articles 205, 205.5, 222, 223.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Terrorist act”, “Illegal circulation of weapons and explosives”, “Participation in the activities of a terrorist organization”),” the court documents noted.
The Crocus City Hall concert hall, which burned down during the terrorist attack, is currently closed.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, the Investigative Committee of Russia has completed its investigation of the criminal case on the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall concert hall in Krasnogorsk, Oleg Vlasov, a lawyer for one of the accused, said on February 6. The victims will be the first to get acquainted with the materials. There are at least a thousand of them, so it is unlikely that the case will be sent to court in the near future, the lawyer explained.
On March 22, 2024, terrorists broke into Crocus City Hall and opened fire on visitors and employees of the concert hall, setting a fire. More than 140 people were killed and over 500 were injured as a result of their actions. The Investigative Committee opened several criminal cases, including under Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Terrorist attack"). In January, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation reported that 27 people had been charged in the case of the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall.

[IsraelTimes] Cops say arrest in Stockholm area unrelated to any previously ongoing cases; detainee suspected of being a member of terror group in case linked to Islamist extremism
Swedish police said on Tuesday they had apprehended one person in the Stockholm area on suspicion of preparing terrorist crimes in a case concerning violent mostly peaceful Islamist extremism.
The person was suspected of preparation for a terrorist offense, aggravated participation in a terrorist organization, preparation for attempted murder and preparing to violate legislation on the use of explosives, police said.
The investigation was not linked to any previously ongoing cases, police said in a statement.
Police conducted the operation in the capital area on Tuesday morning and the arrest unfolded calmly, they added, without identifying the suspect or giving detail on the potential target.
Sweden in 2023 raised its terrorism alert to the second-highest level and warned of threats against Swedes at home and abroad after public burnings of the Koran were met with outrage among Moslems and threats from jihadists.
In late January, Salwan Momika, the lead activist behind the Koran-burnings, was rubbed out, in an apparent retaliation attack for the demonstrations. Days later, a Swedish court convicted his partner, Salwan Najem, of hate crimes related to the men’s activism.
Some in Sweden have pointed fingers at 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... for Momika’s killing, following reports that the Islamic Theocratic Republic has recruited organized crime in the country to attack political opponents.
[NPASYRIA] The Iraqi government has denied reports that it has granted temporary residency to former officers and commanders of the fallen Syrian regime, following claims circulating on social media and in some media outlets.
In a statement issued Tuesday, Brigadier General Muqdad Miri, spokesperson for Iraq's Interior Ministry, refuted the allegations, emphasizing that no such measure had been taken.
''Some social media platforms have reported that the Iraqi government has granted temporary residency on humanitarian grounds to dozens of officers and military commanders from the former Syrian regime who sought refuge in Iraq on December 7 and 8,'' Miri said, as quoted by the Iraqi News Agency.
''We categorically deny these claims and stress the importance of obtaining information only from official sources, avoiding the spread of misleading rumors,'' he added.

"We only grant asylum to people who can pay us the going rate".
[IsraelTimes] During operations in the West Bank city of Jenin today, the IDF says it demolished the home of a Palestinian terror operative involved in the killing of a soldier in the summer.
Nidal Amer was part of a Palestinian Islamic Jihad cell that set off two explosive devices against army vehicles in Jenin on June 27, killing Cpt. Alon Sacgiu and wounding 16 other soldiers.
Amer was killed by Border Police officers in July.
IDF troops demolished Amer’s home in Jenin today. As a matter of policy, Israel demolishes the homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out deadly attacks.
[IsraelTimes] The IDF confirms carrying out an airstrike in southern Gaza’s Rafah this morning, saying it targeted two suspects who had gone to pick up a drone.
The drone had been flown from Israel into the southern Gaza Strip, and was being tracked throughout its flight, the military says. In recent months, the IDF says, it has identified several attempts to smuggle weapons and drugs into Gaza using drones. The drone was apparently being controlled by smugglers on the Israeli side.
An Israeli strike targeted the drone and the two suspects who taken possession of it. One was killed and the second was wounded, according to Palestinian media.

Dr. al-Barsh also noted that two individuals were martyred due to remnants of the ''Israeli'' occupation in Gaza, and the number of deaders who shuffled off the mortal coil has risen to 24, bringing the total number of deaders to 118 since the ceasefire took effect.
Furthermore, Dr. al-Barsh pointed out that health teams have recovered the bodies of 641 deaders, including approximately 197 who remain unidentified.

[NPASYRIA] Fifty-eight families, totaling 305 individuals from Deir ez-Zor departed on Tuesday from the Arisha camp in the countryside of Hasakah city in northeastern Syria after 8 years of displacement.
Salwa Jejo, co-chair of the camp, told North Press that these families return to their homes after the fall of the Syrian regime, a decision further driven by the dwindling support from relief organizations.
The voluntary relocation efforts for the displaced will continue until a full return is secured, Jajo added.
She also acknowledged the deep-seated fears among returnees, noting that many of their homes have been destroyed in the war or lie too close to dangerous minefields.
According to camp administration, Arisha camp currently shelters around 14,000 displaced people from various regions of Syria.
