Arabia
Mahrah Governor warns against UAE-Saudi aggression in the province
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Ali Hussein al-Faraj, Mahrah Governor in the national salvation government, warned Monday of the plans of the UAE-Saudi occupying regimes to target the Mahri community, undermine the symbols of popular resistance, and thwart the revolution’s project to expel the occupation.

According to Saba news agency, the Governor stressed that confronting the US-British occupation forces and their tools, and expelling them from the governorate has become an urgent necessity, especially after their persistence in attacking the people and the popular resistance, looting wealth and controlling its seaports.

He also stressed that the American, British and Emirati-Saudi ambitions in Mahrah have become clear, especially after the presence of military forces in the ports of Qishn and Nishtun and the Shahn port in an attempt to control the two ports through an agreement of the presence of the occupation forces for fifty years with the approval of the UAE-Saudi Council of agents.

The signing of the deal regarding the port of Qishn in Mahrah was considered a high treason against the homeland and a flagrant violation of national illusory sovereignty, confirming the persistence of the occupying countries in controlling the sea and land ports and plundering the wealth of the Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
i people.

The governor of Mahrah called on the free people of the governorate, tribes and civil society organizations, to unite to confront the occupying forces and thwart their plans.

He pointed out that the people of Mahrah have become today more aware of the goals and ambitions of the American and British occupation countries, their tools, and their intentions to control the international shipping lanes and the sea and land ports in the governorate.

He also called on the Yemeni people to support the resistance in the governorate to expel the occupying countries and mercenaries, liberate the governorate and prevent control over its ports and outlets.

He added: "The free people of Mahrah will make sacrifices for the illusory sovereignty, security and stability of the country."

Al Jazeera broadcasts a reportage on Azerbaijan's liberated territories
[APA.AZ] Al Jazeera TV channel broadcasted a reportage on the liberated territories, APA reports.

TV channel news hound Charles Stratford says that as a result of the war in 2020, the Azerbaijani Army ended the 30-year occupation.

The news hound also brings to the attention of the audience the problem of landmines in liberated areas.

The reportage stated that Azerbaijan spent billions of dollars to build infrastructure in these areas, and at the same time, new roads and tunnels were built.

"The newly built road called "Zafar Yolu" (Victory Road) takes us to Karabakh, to the city of Shusha. This city was also liberated two years ago during the war. Shusha, a very important cultural capital for Azerbaijan, is still in ruins. Renovation of the houses where scientists and artists once lived, as well as mosques, continues. However,
Caliphornia hasn't yet slid into the ocean, no matter how hard it's tried...
residents have not yet returned to the city, there are only military personnel and construction workers," the news hound said.

The report also provided information about Azerbaijan's Khankendi city. It was noted that the so-called "republic" has not been recognized by any country in the world, and the largest city of Karabakh is Khankendi.

The news hound of Al Jazeera also spoke about the Lachin Corridor and touched on the activities of the Russian peacekeeping forces in the area.

The reportage also includes the views of Russia analyst David Kerans on Russia-Azerbaijani relations against the background of the festivities on the Azerbaijan-Armenia border.

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] The Military Court of Appeal in Volgograd considered the appeal of Tajik citizen Faizali Khalimkhonov and upheld his sentence. 

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on June 21, the Southern District Military Court in Pyatigorsk  sentenced Akhmed Chaniev, a resident of Ingushetia detained in the Stavropol Territory, to 12.5 years in prison, accused of participating in the international terrorist organization "Islamic State."

The Military Court of Appeal upheld the decision of the Southern District Military Court in Volgograd, which found Tajik citizen Faizali Faizali Khalimkhonov guilty of financing terrorism, the Volgogradskaya Pravda newspaper reported today, citing a release from the press service of the Russian Federal Security Service for the region. According to the security forces, Khalimkhonov transferred three thousand rubles to a Tajik citizen involved in the activities of IS in Syria. 

On June 29, the Southern District Court found Faizali Khalimkhonov guilty and sentenced him to 9 years in prison in a penal colony with the first 3 years in prison, according to the verdict published on the website of the court. Khalimkhonov, who did not agree with the verdict, filed a complaint, which was considered by the military court of appeal on September 16 and upheld the verdict of the first instance. The verdict entered into force, according to the website of the court.

Gantz: Israel has arrested or targeted over 1,000 terror operatives in recent months
[IsraelTimes] Defense Minister Benny Gantz says Israeli troops have arrested and shot more than 1,000 Paleostinians engaged in terror activity in recent months, as the military presses on with an operation in the West Bank following a series of attacks earlier this year.

"In the last few months we have arrested and hit more than a thousand terrorists," Gantz says after touring the military’s West Bank division base.

"We act decisively and in the right way against terror, to allow those who are not involved to have a life of economic and civil well-being," he says.

"The perpetrators of terror are the ones who harm the Paleostinian population, their livelihood, and the ability to advance their interests," Gantz adds.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Aoun insists on naming 2 ministers as al-Khalil meets Mikati and Paris intervenes
[An Nahar] President Michel Aoun
...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah...
is still insisting on "his right to name the Druze and Sunni ministers who will replace Minister of the Displaced Issam Sharafeddine and Economy Minister Amin Salam," al-Akhbar newspaper reported on Tuesday.

"This may reflect a difficulty that is still obstructing the announcement of the formation of a new government," the daily added.

"The past two days did not carry anything new as to the naming, at a time the name of ex-minister Saleh al-Gharib moved to the backburner, seeing as it is not appropriate to name a figure who would provoke Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Wally Jumblat
...Druze politician, head of the Progressive Socialist Party, who's been on every side in Leb at least four times. He'll sell you his friends for a dollar, but family comes higher because of shipping and handling...
," al-Akhbar quoted informed sources as saying.

Al-Joumhouria newspaper meanwhile reported that Hezbollah has strongly intervened to mediate between Baabda and the Grand Serail and that Hezbollah secretary-general’s political aide Hussein al-Khalil has met with PM-designate Najib Mikati to "stress the need to form a new government no matter what it takes."

"Hezbollah also communicated with President Aoun in a bid to ease his stance," the daily added.

Official political sources directly concerned with the governmental file also told al-Joumhouria that Gay Paree has also intervened through its ambassador to Leb
...an Iranian colony 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 dozeen flavors of Christians. It is 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. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
Anne Grillo, who "has relayed an urgent request to Lebanese leaders on the necessity to form a government in an urgent manner."
