-War on Police-
Team Biden finally admits there's a war on cops — which it's inflaming
[NYPOST] Chicago, Minneapolis, Washington, DC, and a host of other cities have seen gratuitously sadistic robberies and carjackings, all of which the national media ignore because of the inconvenient race of victims and assailants.

The police bear the disproportionate share of such violence since they are the most frequent target of race-based calumny from Democrats, the mainstream media and academia. The rising tide of animosity has them leaving the profession in droves, exacerbating the crime problem. Police recruiting has become a near impossibility.

Democrats may face a rout this November, in significant part because of the violence that is spreading from the inner cities into the rest of the country. If Biden wants to minimize the electoral losses, he should join his FBI chief in repudiating anti-cop violence. As important, he should retract his own false statements about policing and America’s enduring racism.

So why do the Police Unions in certain cities still support the LSD's?

Afghanistan
Beijing-Nangarhar to Build 150-Factory Industrial Park in Kabul
[KhaamaPress] The Ministry of Urban Development of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan inked an agreement with Beijing-Nangarhar
The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country..
private company on building an industrial park wherein 150 factories will be activated.

The signing pact ceremony that was held in Priozi township in Kabul on Thursday, April 28, 2022, was attended by Deputy Prime Minister and head of the economic commission of the IEA Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, and Deputy Minister of Urban Development.

The industrial complex is planned to be built in Priozi town located in the eastern Deh Sabz district of the Afghan capital Kabul.

The industrial park will include a mosque, health, and educational centers, green space, public parks, and residential blocks along with the 150 factories that will provide direct jobs to 13,600 people while 30,000 more will be affected indirectly.

The industrial complex is intended to cost $216 million.

This is the second biggest economic project launched by the IEA in the past eight months after the 385-Kilometer irrigation canal in the north of Afghanistan.

Africa Horn
Ethiopia denies Tigrayan forces pulled out of Afar region
[Garowe] The Æthiopian government said on Thursday that rebellious Tigrayan forces are still in the neighboring region of Afar, despite a front man for the Tigrayan forces announcing their withdrawal days earlier.

Government spokesperson Legesse Tulu told state media that the news that Tigrayan forces had left Afar were "big lies."

Afar Police Commissioner Ahmed Harif told Rooters on Thursday that Tigrayan forces were still in four districts bordering Tigray - Koneba, Abala, Berhale, and Magale - and had not moved since Monday.

Getachew Reda, the front man for the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), the party that controls Tigray, did not respond to requests for comment. On Monday, he told Rooters Tigrayan forces were leaving Afar.

The Tigrayan forces said they were withdrawing so humanitarian convoys could enter. Only a trickle of aid has made it into famine-hit Tigray, where more than 90% of the population needs food aid since the Æthiopian military withdrew at the end of June.

The United Nations
...the Oyster Bay money pit...
has blamed government bureaucracy and fighting for blocking convoys.

Tigrayan forces have been fighting the central government since November 2020, when conflict erupted between the two sides. Tigrayan leaders accuse Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed of wanting to centralize power at the expense of the regions; he accuses them of wanting to regain national power, which they lost when he was appointed in 2018.

On March 25 the federal government announced a unilateral ceasefire, saying it would allow humanitarian aid to enter.

Tigrayan forces agreed to respect the ceasefire on the condition that sufficient aid was delivered to their region "within a reasonable time".

Since the ceasefire was declared, 145 tracks have made it into Tigray, according to the U.N. World Food Programme. At least 100 per day are needed, the United Nations says.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Court in Adygeya cancels fine for activist for distributing Islamic newspaper
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] The Supreme Court of Adygea
...an autonomous republic in the northwest Caucasus whose population is mostly Moslem...
canceled the fine to activist Gamzat Magomedov, who had been appointed to him earlier for distributing the Muslim newspaper As-salam, due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.

The Supreme Court of Adygeya canceled a fine of 25,000 rubles to activist Gamzat Magomedov, who was previously assigned to him by the Maykop city court because of the distribution of the Muslim newspaper As-salam.

Magomedov was detained in October 2021 during the consideration of the case in the Maykop City Court, he insisted on his innocence, claiming that the As-Salam newspaper is a registered mass media outlet, Kavkaz.Realii informed on April 27*.

However, the judge ruled that Magomedov could not distribute the As-Salam newspaper, since he is not an official representative of the Muftiate. During the consideration of the appeal, Magomedov noted that the case was to be considered by the world court, and not by the Maykop city court.

As a result, the Supreme Court of Adygeya canceled the fine to Magomedov due to violations in the preparation of the protocol and the expiration of the statute of limitations, OVD-Info reported on April 27 **.

Recall that the spiritual and educational newspaper As-salam is published by the Spiritual Administration of Muslims (DUM) of Dagestan. The publication is used by the muftiate of Dagestan for anti-extremist propaganda, it publishes materials on issues of traditional Islam.

In March 2017, the muftis of the republics of the North Caucasus filed claims against the chairman of the DUM of Dagestan due to the fact that the As-Salam newspaper is being distributed on the territory of their republics. In response to these claims, the DUM of Dagestan on March 18, 2017 withdrew from the Coordinating Center for Muslims of the North Caucasus.

Europe
Migrant integration has failed and created parallel societies and gang violence, Swedish PM admits
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • Sweden accepted the most migrants per capita in the EU in 2015 crisis

  • Magdalena Andersson said Islamism and extremism have since festered

  • She said: 'We live in the same country but in completely different realities'

  • Violent riots erupted in Sweden this month after a politician burned a Quran
'Segregation has been allowed to go so far that we have parallel societies in Sweden. We live in the same country but in completely different realities,' Andersson told a news conference.

Sweden, which holds a general election later this year, has radically tightened its immigration policies since the migrant influx in 2015.

It now has one of the bloc's most restrictive policies.

The number of people in Sweden born abroad has doubled in the last two decades to 2 million, or a fifth of the population.

Andersson's Social Democrats have been in power for 28 of the last 40 years, including the last eight.

In the riots this month, more than 100 police were maimed and dozens were arrested after festivities with police which saw cars and buses torched.

The rallies were sparked by anti-immigration and anti-Islam group Hard Line, led by the Danish-Swedish politician Rasmus Paludan.

Paludan, a lawyer and a YouTuber who intends to stand in Swedish legislative elections in September but does not yet have the necessary number of signatures to secure his candidature, is currently on a 'tour' of Sweden.

The 40-year-old is visiting neighbourhoods with large Moslem populations where he wants to burn copies of the Moslem holy book Koran as Moslems observe the holy month of Ramadan.

#1  Failed? Huh? It succeeded.

It was never intended that these people suddenly become good Swedes. It was intended that they tear Swedish society apart, because Swedish elites despise and hate the Swedish people. View it this way and it's a roaring success.

Denmark to 'outsource' inmates
[RT] The justice ministers of Denmark and Kosovo have signed a treaty, with Copenhagen renting 300 prison cells from Pristina

Denmark will be sending foreign nationals convicted in the country to serve their sentences in a Kosovan prison, the countries’ respective justice ministers agreed on Wednesday. Should both sides' parliaments give the accord the green light, the first inmates could be transferred to the Balkans as early as next year.

Danish Justice Minister Nick Haekkerup and his Kosovan colleague Albulena Haxhiu have signed off on a deal that reserves some 300 cells in a Kosovan prison for Danish migrant convicts. According to the scheme, inmates who are not Danish nationals will be serving sentences meted out by Danish courts in a prison located in the Kosovan city of Gjilan. The penitentiary facility will, however, first have to be refurbished so that conditions in there are in line with those found in Danish jails.

After the inmates have served their time, they will be deported back to their countries of origin.

The accord signed on Wednesday was preceded by a preliminary agreement between Copenhagen and Pristina in December 2021. The BBC reported at the time that Denmark would shell out €15 million annually for an initial period of five years. On top of that, Copenhagen will reportedly help Pristina develop green energy in the Balkan region in exchange.

Haekkerup also noted that the agreement “sends a clear signal to foreigners from third-party countries who have been sentenced to deportation” that their “future is not in Denmark and therefore you won't serve your sentence here.”

Commenting on the news to Denmark’s Ritzau media outlet, the official expressed hope that the “practical side of things can be ready in the first quarter of 2023.”

According to official data cited by the media, the number of inmates in Denmark has ballooned by almost 20% since 2015, reaching over 4,000 in early 2021, and the Scandinavian country’s prison system has been operating at capacity.

The deal struck between Denmark and Kosovo comes weeks after the UK government revealed plans to send asylum seekers arriving in that country to Rwanda, where they would await as their applications are processed by British authorities. The Times reported at the time that only male migrants would be flown to the central African nation.

In early April, British Home Secretary Priti Patel traveled to the African country which had finalized a “migration and economic development partnership” with the UK. It followed previous failed attempts to strike similar deals with Albania and Ghana.

It is, however, not clear at this point if the holding facilities in Rwanda will be under UK jurisdiction.

Home Front: WoT
Supreme Court taking up Biden efforts to end Trump-era 'Remain in Mexico' policy
[NYPOST] The Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
on Tuesday is set to hear arguments from the Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft
...the pack of self-imagined masterminds of strategy and intrigue at the service of the Biden Crime Family and a grateful nation...
in their latest bid to end the Trump-era "Remain in Mexico" policy, which forces many asylum seekers to wait south of the US border for their hearings.

The Biden administration is appealing several lower court rulings which have required the 2019 immigration program — formally known as the Migrant Protection Protocols — to remain in place, after President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing......
paused it immediately after taking office and the Department of Homeland Security officially ended in June 2021.

Supporters of the policy — namely states Texas and Missouri which have sued to keep it in place — claim it helps reduce migrant flow into the US. Even DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has said it likely led to fewer illegal border crossings in 2019, however he has noted that the policy has "substantial and unjustifiable human costs."

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Haifa teen stabber was motivated by death of Palestinian boyfriend – report
[IsraelTimes] Police say 15-year-old told interrogators she was angered by Temple Mount festivities, wanted ’to die a martyr’
Suicide by IDF.
A teenage girl who stabbed a man in Haifa two weeks ago was reportedly seeking to avenge the death of her Paleostinian boyfriend, who died of wounds he sustained while attempting to attack Israeli security forces in Jenin.

The 15-year-old Arab Israeli told police Sherlocks that she became motivated to carry out the attack on April 15 after the young man she was romantically involved with died of his wounds that morning, the Walla news site reported Thursday.

Police said she was angered by videos on social media showing festivities atop the Temple Mount, which her father told an Israeli news network had incited her to violence.

"During her interrogation, the suspect stated that she committed the act under the influence of social media and that she wanted to carry out the attack in order to die as a martyr," police said Thursday.

The girl, who has not been named because she is a minor, appeared at the Haifa Magistrate’s Court on Thursday and had her remand extended until Monday. She is expected to be formally indicted in the coming days.

At least 25 Paleostinians have been killed in festivities with Israeli soldiers during raids in the West Bank in recent weeks, including 17-year-old Shawkat Kamal Abed, from Kafr Dan, who was critically hurt on April 14 during festivities with Israeli troops in the town near Jenin, according to Paleostinian media reports.

Before the stabbing, the teenage girl’s father informed police that his daughter said she intended to carry out an attack.

According to law enforcement officials, the girl approached a 47-year-old man at HaZikaron Garden, adjacent to Haifa’s city hall, and hit him on the back of the head with a brick, then stabbed him in the hand and leg as he fell to the ground.

Officers, who were searching for her with her father, arrived at the scene and arrested her with the knife still in her hand "seconds after the terror attack," police officials said. According to police, two more knives were found in a nearby bag belonging to the girl that she allegedly intended to use.

The victim, also a local, was released a day after the attack from Rambam Medical Center. The hospital said he suffered several superficial wounds that did not require surgery.

According to Hebrew-language media reports, the suspect’s father had previously assisted the IDF and Shin Bet but moved with his family from a village near the West Bank city of Tulkarem to Haifa after his identity was exposed several years ago.

He also reportedly has a son and is raising his children alone following the death of his wife.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
IAEA chief says Iran producing centrifuge parts underground at Natanz nuclear site
[IsraelTimes] Iran
...Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979...
has set up a new underground facility for producing uranium-enriching centrifuge parts at its Natanz nuclear site, UN nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi says.

Grossi has informed ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency members of the development, Rooters reports.

The old workshop for making such equipment had been located at the Karaj nuclear site, which Iran claims was targeted by Israel last year.
The White House said Tuesday that Iran’s nuclear breakout time, meaning the period it would need to amass the fissile material needed to build a bomb if it chose to do so, was down to only weeks. The US continues to insist a diplomatic solution is the best path forward.

The nuclear deal had Iran put advanced centrifuges into storage under the watch of the IAEA, while keeping its enrichment at 3.67% purity and its stockpile at only 300 kilograms (661 pounds) of uranium.

As of February 19, the IAEA says Iran’s stockpile of all enriched uranium was nearly 3,200 kilograms (7,055 pounds). Some have been enriched up to 60% purity — a short technical step from weapons-grade levels of 90%. Meanwhile, Iran has stopped the IAEA from accessing some of its surveillance camera footage.
