Normalizing: Who gets to judge the jihadis? and Qatar is our Swiss embassy in Kabul


Islamic Emirate to Form Military Court
[ToloNews] Officials of the Islamic Emirate said that they would investigate military cases and that no military personnel "even at a high position" would be granted judicial immunity.

The supreme leader of the Islamic Emirate, Hibatullah Akhundzada, ordered the formation of the military court within the structure of the current government.

Islamic Emirate’s front man, Zabiullah Mujahid, said that despite the existence of a military court in the previous government, the cases of the military officials remain unsolved.

"The Islamic Emirate considered filling this need, and therefore, we formed a military court. The cases belonging to this court will be investigated and it will be implemented under the Islamic structure," Mujahid said.

Based on the decree signed by the Islamic Emirate’s Supreme leader, Mawllavi Obaidullah Nizami has been appointed as head of the court. Mawllavi Sayed Agha and Mawllavi Zahid Akhundzada are appointed as judges.

The Islamic Emirate said that the court is authorized to investigate complaints against the staff of the defense and interior ministries as well as intelligence department.

"The decision of the military court will be accomplished after it is confirmed by the three courts (primary, appellate and supreme court)," said Inamullah Samangani, deputy front man for the Islamic Emirate.

However,
death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate...
is the establishment of a military court effective considering the current situation in Afghanistan?

Military veteran Gen. Abdul Wahid Taqat gave his opinion: "It has benefits and problems at the same time. If the problems are solved, and it is used properly, everyone would be ready to refer to this court."

This comes as the cases against some former military officials, who were accused of corruption, have still remained closed.

Islamic Emirate Forbids Informal Courts Among Ranks
[ToloNews] The Islamic Emirate’s Purification Commission banned the use of informal courts within its forces' ranks, especially those deemed kangaroo courts in which people are tried and sentenced for desertion or other alleged crimes.

The commission on Friday held a gathering at the lower house of the parliament to coordinate its activities with provincial leaders.

The head of the commission, Latifullah Hakimi, ordered the forces of the Islamic Emirate to prevent the desertion court and "arbitrary operations." He also warned that those who cooperated with the ISIS group would not be granted immunity.

"If anyone become suspicious of cooperating with the ISIS... there is no immunity for them," he said.

"We started the investigation earlier to pursue inappropriate individuals or those who betray the (Islamic Emirate)," said Fathihullah Madani, head of Kabul intelligence.

The officials warned that those who disturb the people would be held accountable.

"Those evil elements who wanted to be placed among the Islamic Emirate forces have been prevented, " said General Shir Mohammad Sharif, deputy head of the commission.

After reports claimed that the forces related to the Islamic Emirate misbehaved toward the people in various parts of the country, the current government formed a commission to address the problems.

"Those who claim to be a member of the (Islamic Emirate) and bother the army, police or traders, will not be allowed to continue," said Mawllavi Azizullah Ghaznawi, a member of the commission.

#1  This sort of actions and statements are not necessary and futile, and probably going to fuel anti American sentiments in the Horn of Africa
Because the continuous use of European trained and educated state department and associate ‘’think tanks’’ this will be another blunder in USA foreign policies that China, Russia and Iran going to capitalize on.. China has various times directly exploited local conflicts to spur external solutions that bring it more control and power and thus monopolizing Africa’s rich natural resources.
China need a strong foothold in the Horn of Africa is a great game of redrawn Middle Eastern Alliances, China and its Iranian Allies will be sitting on one of the most important pressure points for the region. Saudi Arabia will be in direct line of fire, but more importantly, as China strengthens its grip on the Horn the world’s oil will be up for grabs. Essentially, between the South China Sea and the Red Sea, the CCP will be in near control of the most important shipping lanes in the world.

Armed conflict in Ethiopia will bring down security in Africa
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] Events in Ethiopia may have a negative impact on security in neighboring countries of this African region, reports BBC Africa on November 12.

The publication published the opinion of a senior US military official in Africa, General William Zana, who explained the possible consequences of this conflict.

In particular, Ethiopia keeps troops in neighboring Somalia, supporting the local government.

"If the internal conflict in Ethiopia forces it to make a decision to withdraw troops from Somalia, five more African Union countries will also be affected. And in Somalia, it will be possible for violent extremist organizations to become more active," Zana said.

In addition, he expressed concern about the possibility of military action by Egypt against the "Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam" (GERD) in the event of deepening instability in Ethiopia.

As reported by IA REGNUM , the armed conflict in Tigray in northern Ethiopia has been going on since November 2020. Fighting is between supporters of the NPLT party,
...the Tigray People's Liberation Front. Surprisingly, they’re Marxists, but they’re special, ethnic Tigrayan Marxists who annoyed the other ethnic groups by organizing the country to benefit themselves...
which has been in power in Ethiopia for almost 30 years, and the government of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
... Africa's youngest leader at only 44, he won a Nobel prize for democratic reforms and for making peace with Eritrea. A non-Tigrayan former soldier who once fought alongside the Tigrayans against Eritrea, he took over in 2018, replacing the Tigrayan-led government that had dominated politics since rebels from their region toppled Ethiopia’s Marxist military rulers in 1991...
I've been watching this for the purely selfish reason of wanting good Ethiopian coffee. As far as I can tell the ruling elite are a minority in the capital and several other towns. They have been cruel, thieving and nasty to everybody. Tigray just exploded first. Everybody not in the capital and a couple urban centers hate them. It is sort of like the Blue City Cores of the Democrats going a 1000 times more nuts then they currently are and totally exploiting and crushing the rest of the nation. It makes a kind of strange sense. Ethiopia was a communist dictatorship for many years. The center core of the cities are likely children and relatives of the previous government's communist civil servants and party members. If the Democratic Party Leadership had brains they would learn something from the mess in Ethiopia.
The thought occurs that if the Democratic party leadership had brains, they’d be Republicans.

Sisi reaffirms to PM Bouden support for Tunisian president and newly formed government
[Al Ahram] President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi stressed to Tunisian PM Najla Bouden on Friday Egypt's support for Tunisia and the efforts exerted by President Kais Saied and the newly formed government to achieve stability and development for the Tunisian people.

The Egyptian president also conveyed to the Tunisian prime minister Egypt's readiness to both "harness all available capabilities to help Tunisia achieve security and development," and develop bilateral cooperation in order to consolidate the historical ties between the two countries.

The Egyptian president and the Tunisian prime minister are in Gay Paree to attend the international conference on Libya, which aims to ensure that the Libyan sides stick to the agreed upon plan to hold elections in December as a key step toward ending the decade-old crisis in the country.

In October, President Saied appointed Bouden to head a new cabinet, nearly three months after he dismissed the government of Hichem Mechichi and suspended the activities of parliament.

Egypt has repeatedly affirmed its support for Saied's decisions, calling them "historic."

For her part, PM Bouden expressed appreciation for Egypt's support to her country as well as Egypt's "vital role in maintaining security and stability regionally," Presidential Spokesman Bassam Rady said.

She said her country cherishes the "close and distinguished relations with Egypt at the formal and popular levels," expressing Tunisia's interest in "benefiting from the Egyptian success story under the inspiring leadership of the President El-Sisi" through bilateral coordination in all fields, especially in on the economic and security levels.

The two sides affirmed the joint political will to strengthen the framework of cooperation, maximize communication channels, and exchange information on combating terrorism, Rady added.

El-Sisi and Bouden also exchanged views on a number of regional issues of mutual interest, including the latest developments on Libya.

They agreed to boost Egyptian-Tunisian coordination to end the crisis in Libya, given that both countries share borders with the country, and also in light of the fact that Tunisia is the current representative of Arab countries on the United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
Security Council (UNSC).

They stressed that such coordination aligns with the will of the Libyan people by backing national institutions and efforts to achieve security and stability, as well as preserve the unity and illusory sovereignty of Libya.

El-Sisi and Bouden also emphasised the importance of implementing the relevant UN and international decisions in terms of holding the Libyan elections on time and the exit of all foreign forces and mercenaries from Libya.

El-Sisi and Bouden also tackled the latest development concerning the decade-old dispute between Egypt and Æthiopia over the Grand Æthiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD).

The Egyptian president thanked Tunisia for supporting the Egyptian stance on the importance of reaching a comprehensive and legally binding agreement on filling and operating the Renaissance Dam.

In September, the UNSC adopted a Tunisia-drafted presidential statement encouraging Egypt, Sudan and Æthiopia "to resume negotiations" to swiftly reach a "mutually acceptable and binding agreement on the filling and operation" of the GERD.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Belarus border residents rattled by migrant crisis on their doorstep
[DW] Hardly anyone used to stray into the villages on Belarus' western border. But with more migrants colonists stranded here, residents are unsettled.

The Kamenets district near the well-known national park Belovezhskaya Pushcha is a rather deserted area on the Belarusian-Polish border. There's only one border crossing here to get to neighboring Poland legally. But, the Pestschatka checkpoint hardly sees any traffic nowadays due to coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...

The court shortened the term for Islam Nuhanov
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] The Fifth Cassation Court in Pyatigorsk refused to satisfy the complaint in the case of the Chechen blogger Islam Nukhanov, convicted in 2020, but reduced the term of his detention, the Memorial Human Rights Center * reported today.

The "Caucasian Knot" wrote that Islam Nukhanov was detained after an attempt to publish a video about the luxurious living conditions of Chechen officials. At the same time, he was accused of storing cartridges. After six months of detention, on October 1, 2020, the court issued an unprecedented decision for Chechnya - Nukhanov was released under house arrest.

However, two hours later, after returning home, officers from the Federal Penitentiary Service again came for Nukhanov. The next day, the court suddenly considered his case, sentencing him to four years in prison. Human rights defenders filed a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights, stating that Nukhanov was convicted on the basis of confessions extracted under torture.

The siloviki accused Nukhanov of having links with blogger Tumso Abdurakhmanov, but Abdurakhmanov himself denied this. The criminal prosecution of Islam Nukhanov  is a "show flogging"  for all residents of Chechnya trying to expose the authorities, he said.

Blogger Islam Nukhanov, like Tumso, was prosecuted in Chechnya after attempting to raise a socially significant issue, said Novaya Gazeta journalist Yelena Milashina. YouTube users in the comments to Nukhanov's video demanded that he be released.

The cassation appeal in the case of a 29-year-old resident of Chechnya Islam Nukhanov was considered today by the Fifth Cassation Court in Pyatigorsk. The court rejected the cassation appeal in the case of Nukhanov on illegal possession of weapons and an attack on a security officer. At the same time, the cassation court decided to reduce the term of Nukhanov's detention by four months - to three years and eight months, the Memorial Human Rights Center * reported today.

Human rights activists also intend to seek an investigation into the abduction and torture of Nukhanov and illegal imprisonment. On October 2, 2020, the court released Nukhanov under house arrest, and officers of the Federal Penitentiary Service were illegally taken back two hours later, according to today's message on the center's website.

Azerbaijani opposition leader Rzayev claims torture in isolation ward
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] Oppositionist Malik Rzayev, accused of drug trafficking, said that he was tortured after his arrest. Rzayev's complaint about torture was forwarded to the Sumgait prosecutor's office, the lawyer said.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, the lawyer of Malik Rzayev, accused of drug trafficking, said on November 5 that he could not get a meeting with his client. Rzayev's relatives do not agree with the accusations and believe that the real reason for the arrest is his criticism of the Azerbaijani authorities.

India-Pakistan
With 8 new routes from PoK, Pakistan’s ISI plans massive infiltration bid
Shhh! Don’t tell anyone — it’s a secret!
[OneIndia] The notorious terrorist, Ali Babar who was arrested by the Indian Army from Uri in Jammu and Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
in September revealed during his interrogation that more infiltration bids will be made from Pakistain with the help of the ISI.

His revelations come in the backdrop of the Intelligence Bureau stating that there will be many more infiltration bids made by Pak bandidos holy warriors in the days to come. An IB official tells OneIndia that Pakistain will attempt to infiltrate more of its bandidos holy warriors into the Valley.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Israel plans to bypass some of its Arab towns in future military deployments
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Israel will bypass some of its Arab towns in transporting ground forces to future war fronts, a senior army general said on Friday, citing lessons from sectarian violence that erupted in the country in May during festivities in 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 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...
Strip.

Arabs, most of them Moslem, constitute a fifth of Israel’s population. Many identify as Paleostinian. Some mounted protests against the Gaza campaign that spiraled into bloody street confrontations with police and Jewish citizens.

Major-General Yitzhak Turgeman, chief of logistics for Israel’s military, said it had since marked out 1,600 km (1,000 miles) of dirt tracks which could serve as wartime alternatives to roads, and had set up new anti-riot units to protect convoys.

"I’m really concerned about... the impact of violent mostly peaceful disturbances on internal security and movement of transport convoys," Turgeman told Maariv newspaper in an interview.

He said major deployments were now unlikely to happen through Wadi Ara, a valley highway among close clusters of Arab towns that leads to the northern fronts with Lebanon Hezbollahstan
...the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity™, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade...
and Syria.

"In wartime, the IDF (Israel Defense Force) will do what is right in order to brings its units to the war theatre as quickly as possible, and we have enough alternatives," Turgeman said.

The remarks came after video clips on social media showed army vehicles wending through Umm al-Fahm, an Israeli Arab city, during a drill. The municipality issued an open letter condemning the presence as "unacceptable and hurtful to residents’ feelings."

Israeli Arabs have long complained of discrimination and neglect by the state. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s governing coalition, which includes an Arab Islamist party, has sought to mend relations with a crackdown on crime plaguing the community.

Bennett’s internal security minister, Omer Barlev, described police operations to seize illegal firearms in Israeli Arab communities as a further safeguard for future military deployments.

In the absence of such actions, a war could see "100 armed (Israeli) Arabs suddenly go down to this or that road or artery and hold up for 48 hours a division that has to deploy on the Lebanese border within 24 hours," Barlev told Army Radio last month.
