[Garowe] A Portland man who was convicted of manslaughter for shooting his sister’s boyfriend in 2019 was released on bail Friday after a judge ordered a new trial, sparking confusion and outrage from the victim's family.
Mark Cardilli Jr. says he killed Isahak Muse in self-defense during a confrontation that escalated after Muse refused to leave the Cadilli family's home when asked by the parents. Cadilli was 24 at the time, and Muse was 22.
A judge ruled this week that attorneys for Cadilli failed to "vigorously argue" the self-defense claim during the trial. His lawyers included an attorney who’s now a district judge.
The attorney general's office vowed Friday to appeal the judge's decision that vacated the conviction and ordered a new trial. In the meantime, a judge set bail at $20,000 for Cardilli and he was released Friday.
The shooting created tension in Portland’s Moslem community, with some calling it a hate crime by a white man against a Black Moslem.
In a statement, Muse's sister said she was heartbroken that Cardilli was released after serving less than half of a 7 1/2-year prison sentence.
"We are devastated and shocked to hear of this decision and can not understand how we could lose my little brother, but Cardilli will get to walk around free," Asli Muse said. "He took my brother’s life, and was convicted of this. It is not fair that he barely served any time and can just walk away from it all. We can’t get my brother back."
Cardilli, now 28, was originally charged with murder, but he was convicted of the lesser charge of manslaughter.
The confrontation happened when the 22-year-old Muse, who was dating Cardilli’s 17-year-old sister but was barred by her bail conditions from being in her presence, refused to leave the family's Portland home at the request of her parents, witnesses testified. Pandemonium broke out, and Cardilli retrieved a handgun from his room.
Cardilli said he was assaulted by Muse, backed against a wall and in fear for his life when he fired three times with one bullet grazing Muse and two bullets hitting Muse, who died at the scene.
As it happens, the age of consent in the great state of Oregon is 18, so Little Sis, age 17, was jailbait. Mr. Muse, who admits to being 22 though statistically the odds are good he’s in his late thirties, ought not to have been allowed anywhere near her. That he also felt entitled to ignore the kid’s parents and attack her big brother just goes to show.
In the two-year span of the Taliban ...Arabic for students... ’s control over Afghanistan, most human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... organizations have accused this group of widespread human rights violations and the killing of former military personnel. Recently, the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) released a report, detailing the registration of 800 cases of human rights violations committed by the Taliban. The report states that the Taliban are responsible for extrajudicial killings, arbitrary detentions, torture, and mistreatment of former security forces and previous government officials. According to the report, 218 cases of extrajudicial killings of former military personnel have been carried out by this group in 34 provinces of the country, with the highest number of human rights violations recorded in Kabul, Kandahar, and Balkh provinces. The report also indicates that the Taliban have been implicated in at least 14 cases of forced disappearances and 424 cases of self-initiated detentions of former security forces and babus government employees. The report categorizes extrajudicial killings, forced disappearances, torture, and mistreatment as "grave crimes" under international law. The organization has urged the Taliban to take necessary actions to prevent further human rights violations.
The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), in its recent report, has attributed 800 cases of human rights violations to the Taliban. UNAMA states that over the past two years, this group has continued acts of mistreatment, torture, arbitrary detentions, and extrajudicial killings targeting officials and former military personnel of the previous government. The report reflects instances of human rights violations by the Taliban from August 15, 2021, to June 30 of this year. The organization emphasizes that substantiated reports indicate the Taliban’s responsibility for massacres and self-initiated detentions of former military personnel. According to the report, former army members are most at risk of human rights violations. Following them, former national police, local police, and employees of the previous National Directorate of Security ...the Afghan national intel agency... (NDS) have been purposefully attacked by the Taliban.
UNAMA’s report notes that cases of human rights violations against former babus government employees and previous security forces have been recorded in 34 provinces of the country. Based on the report, the highest number of human rights violations has occurred in Kabul, Kandahar, and Balkh provinces. According to UNAMA, 33 cases of human rights violations against former security forces have been documented in Kandahar province, indicating over a quarter of the total violations against former military personnel. The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan states that at least 14 cases of forced disappearances of former government officials and military personnel, for which the Taliban are responsible, have been registered. The report mentions that on October 2, 2021, Aaliyah Azizi, the head of Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... ’s women’s prison, did not return home from work, and since August 2022, there has been no information about her whereabouts. UNAMA states that despite initiating investigations into Azizi’s disappearance, the Taliban have not officially disclosed any information regarding her whereabouts.
UNAMA has reported that in January 2023, the Taliban handed over the body of a former army member to his family. The individual were tossed into the calaboose by the group. According to the report, the family of the former military personnel had no contact or information about his whereabouts after his arrest. Furthermore, it has been stated that the body of a former security force member, bearing signs of torture, was delivered to his family by the Taliban. The report indicates that UNAMA has documented over 424 cases of self-initiated detentions of officials and former security forces by the Talibs during the two years of their rule of Afghanistan. The report explains that the charges, duration of detention, and trial process for these individuals remain unclear, and the detainees have been deprived of access to legal representation and other lawful procedures. The report emphasizes that some instances of self-initiated detentions have resulted in extrajudicial killings, for which the Taliban are responsible.
The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan has expressed deep concern over the torture and mistreatment of detainees and suspects. The report states that more than 144 cases of torture and mistreatment against former security personnel and officials of the previous government have been documented. According to the organization, the Taliban have subjected former employees and military personnel to beating, using cables, and pipe torture after their detention. Based on the report, the Taliban have utilized torture for coerced confessions and, in some cases, demanded weapons and information from former military personnel.
UNAMA added that it has recorded numerous messages indicating threats against former Afghan security personnel, carried out by the Taliban and, in some instances, by unknown individuals. The report indicates that individuals have reported receiving threatening phone calls from Taliban members to UNAMA. The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan strongly emphasizes the evident exemption of the Talibs from torture, detention, killing, and disappearance of former military personnel. The report highlights that the Taliban regime has not issued any written text regarding the establishment of procedures to address violations of general amnesty.
UNAMA has added in its recent report that international humanitarian law encourages the Taliban regime to grant amnesty to those who have been involved in armed conflicts to end hostilities. The report states that while the Taliban initially announced a general amnesty, continuous human rights violations by this group have persisted, as documented in this report. The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan has stated that extrajudicial killings, torture, and mistreatment are considered "grave crimes" under international law. According to UNAMA, the Taliban are obligated to take necessary actions to prevent human rights violations and to effectively, promptly, thoroughly, and impartially investigate alleged violations.
UNAMA’s report states that the targeting of former government officials and former security forces has intensified an atmosphere of fear and intimidation. The report indicates that the majority of former security personnel live in fear of arrest or execution, leading them to either live covertly or flee the country.
Meanwhile, ...back at the pie fight, Bella went down under the weight of the custard... the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, commented on this report, stating, "The UNAMA report paints a serious picture of behavior directed at individuals associated with the previous government and Afghan cops since the Taliban’s takeover of the country." The UN official has described the targeting of former military personnel and officials as a "betrayal of trust" towards the people.
However, the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits... Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban spokesperson, has dismissed the UN report as baseless. He claimed that the organization is engaged in "propaganda."
UNAMA has reported 800 cases of human rights violations, while the latest report, "Afghan Witness," documented 3,329 instances of human rights violations by the Taliban in the past two years. The organization declared that the Taliban have extensively engaged in significant human rights violations, including detaining and killing former military personnel, suppressing and detaining female protesters, censoring media, and imposing restrictions on religious freedoms. Furthermore, a report covering the initial six months of Taliban rule revealed that detainees are subjected to torture on a daily basis.

[IsraelTimes] Yoseph Haddad accuses ‘several people from my community’ of accosting him and his family as they boarded flight from Dubai to Israel, vows ‘I’ll continue will all my strength’
A prominent pro-Israel activist said he and his family were attacked Saturday while boarding a flight in Dubai, by fellow Arab Israelis opposed to his advocacy.
According to Yoseph Haddad, his party was physically and verbally assaulted by “several people from my community” as they got on the plane to Ben Gurion Airport, resulting in an injury to his mother’s arm that required a bandage. He accused the group of “attacking us only because of who I am, my views and my work for the State of Israel.”
“I want all the attackers and the rest of those who think they will stop me through violence and intimidation to know that despite you I will continue with all my strength,” Haddad wrote in a post on his social media accounts.
“You will not stop me and you are only causing me to continue to get stronger and stronger,” he added.
Haddad, who said he and his family were back in Israel, also thanked Emirati authorities and Israeli diplomats in the United Arab Emirates “for all the concern.”
There were no reports of arrests in connection to the incident.
Haddad is the CEO of the organization Together Vouch for Each Other, which works to connect the Arab community to Israeli society. He has blogged for The Times of Israel.
[AlAhram] French authorities are to ban the wearing in school of abaya dresses worn by some Moslem women, the education minister said on Sunday, arguing the garment violated La Belle France's strict secular laws in education.
"It will no longer be possible to wear an abaya at school," Education Minister Gabriel Attal told TF1 television, saying he would give "clear rules at the national level" to school heads ahead of the return to classes nationwide from September 4.
The move comes after months of debate over the wearing of abayas in French schools, where women have long been banned from wearing the Islamic headscarf.
The right and far-right had pushed for the ban, which the left argued would encroach on civil liberties.
There have been reports of abayas being increasingly worn in schools and tensions within school over the issue between teachers and parents.
"Secularism means the freedom to emancipate oneself through school," Attal said, describing the abaya as "a religious gesture, aimed at testing the resistance of the republic toward the secular sanctuary that school must constitute."
"You enter a classroom, you must not be able to identify the religion of the students by looking at them," he said.
A law of March 2004 banned "the wearing of signs or outfits by which students ostensibly show a religious affiliation" in schools. This includes large crosses, Jewish kippas and Islamic headscarves.
Unlike headscarves, abayas -- a long, baggy garment worn to comply with Islamic beliefs on modest dress -- occupied a grey area and faced no outright ban until now
The debate has intensified since a radicalised Chechen refugee beheaded teacher Samuel Paty, who had shown students caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed, near his school in a Gay Paree suburb in 2020.
The CFCM, a national body encompassing many Moslem associations, has said items of clothing alone were not "a religious sign".
The announcement is the first big move by Attal, 34, since he was promoted this summer to handle the hugely contentious education portfolio.
Along with Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin, 40, he is seen as a rising star who could potentially play an important role after Macron steps down in 2027.
[GEO.TV] Contrary to a recent claim made by former prime minister Shehbaz Sharif, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) senior leader Khursheed Shah has said he doesn’t think Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif will return to the homeland in October, citing his health-related issues.
Addressing a press conference in London on Friday after the meeting with Nawaz, Shehbaz floated a new date for his elder brother’s homecoming. Flanked by the three-time prime minister, the PML-N president had announced, “Nawaz Sharif will return to Pakistan in October [2023] and lead the election campaign.” He, however, did not confirm a specific date of Nawaz’s homecoming.
Nawaz went to London in November 2019 for medical treatment after he was convicted by an accountability court in graft cases and he has been living there since then.
Talking to local media on Sunday, Khursheed Shah said that Nawaz has no plan to return to Pakistan soon. “Nawaz Sharif’s health is not good, he might not come.”
Responding to a question, the PPP leader further said, “Nawaz Sharif’s health can deteriorate in the last moments.”
In 2016, Nawaz stepped down as the prime minister after the Supreme Court disqualified him for life for concealing assets. Later, the PML-N supremo was convicted in the Al-Azizia and the Aveinfeild Apartment references filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) which emerged in the aftermath of the Panama Papers leak.
His appeals against the conviction are currently pending in the relevant courts.

"The intricate synergy between the ICTS and the security detachments in the Kurdistan region (Erbil and Sulaymaniyah Counter-Terrorism Directorates), has culminated in several potent operations underpinned by precise intelligence," the apparatus said in an official statement.
These joint operations, the statement said, have played a pivotal role in tracking down and neutralizing the vestiges of ISIS operatives, "thereby accentuating the importance of collaboration in the enduring battle against extremism."
"Such deliberate coordination epitomizes the strategy embraced by the Counter-Terrorism Services, underscoring the imperative of consolidating security efforts. This, in turn, is aimed at tightening the noose around ISIS factions, facilitating their detection and subsequent pursuit."

[IsraelTimes] The military has cleared for publication that security forces foiled an attempt to smuggle Iranian-made explosives into Israel from Jordan last month.
The smuggling was foiled on July 24 in the Jordan Valley just south of the Sea of Galilee, near the Ashdot Ya’akov kibbutz.
Initially, few details were permitted for publication.
Authorities believe the explosives were being spirited in for use by terror groups in the West Bank.
Weapons smuggling from Jordan is a constant challenge for Israel, along its long, porous eastern border, and in the West Bank. Officials believe most guns are being used in underworld crime, and have vowed to crack down as part of an effort to end years of bloodshed in the Arab community.
According to police data, security authorities have seized 506 handguns, 24 assault rifles, and eight explosives, in 26 separate smuggling attempts on the Jordan border since the beginning of the year.
Last week, the Shin Bet security agency revealed that in July, four Israeli citizens were arrested for suspected ties to the Hezbollah terror group, and were allegedly involved in smuggling Iranian-made bombs into the country.

[IsraelTimes] Declaration by West Bank-ruling Paleostinian party contrasts with ongoing violence from rival gangs, which have been eroding its authority.
After three days of meeting, Fatah’s Revolutionary Council (FRC) ended its latest session on Saturday with a call for an "escalation of the unarmed resistance" to end the Israeli occupation, and a call on all Paleostinian factions to join the struggle. The FRC is considered Fatah’s internal parliamentary body, and its second most prominent institution after Fatah’s Central Committee. It is made up of approximately 80 members, who were elected in December 2016.
In its session last weekend, the Council called for the formation of "popular resistance committees to confront the [Israeli] settlers’ aggression," and emphasized the importance of Jerusalem for Islam and Christianity and for the Paleostinian national project, describing the Holy City as "Paleostine’s Eternal Capital."
Fatah’s declared policy of nonviolent mostly peaceful resistance is in sharp contrast with the violent mostly peaceful approach adopted by its main rival Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, which on Sunday threatened Israel with an "all-out regional war."
Marouf Alrefai, one of the leaders of the Fatah movement in Jerusalem, stressed to The Times of Israel that Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase.... "always called for peaceful popular resistance free from violence and the use of weapons," even though, according to international covenants, Paleostinians, as a people under occupation, have "the right to resist in all forms."
The PA ruling party is often accused by many Paleostinians of doing the "dirty work" on behalf of Israel for maintaining security in the West Bank, and not doing enough to combat the occupation and the settlements expansion.
Even within Fatah, there are dissenting voices. The party’s armed wing, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, has reportedly joined forces with terror cells of Hamas and the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... (PIJ) in Jenin and Nablus, areas over which the PA has progressively lost its grip. It also grabbed credit for a recent attack near Hebron, an area under firm Fatah control, in which an Israeli woman was killed.
Grisha Yakubovich, a former Israel Defense Forces colonel and head of the IDF’s civil department for the Paleostinian Authorities, recently declared in an interview to i24News Arabic channel that the attack was a message to Abbas to halt security cooperation with Israel, or risk seeing the current instability in Nablus and Jenin expanding to the rest of the West Bank.
At the end of its meeting, the Revolutionary Council reiterated calls to boycott Jerusalem’s municipal elections, to be held alongside votes in other cities in Israel on October 30. Ever since Israel took control of East Jerusalem in 1967, its Arab residents have repeatedly abstained from voting in local elections to avoid "normalizing" Israeli illusory sovereignty.
The lack of political clout by East Jerusalemites — who make up 40 percent of the city’s population — in the city council has contributed over the decades to the municipality’s severe neglect of Arab neighborhoods, with a visible shortage of investments in infrastructure and services. This year, for the first time since 1967, an Arab candidate will be running for mayor, an act strongly opposed by the PA.
In its statement, Fatah’s Revolutionary Council further highlighted its continuous efforts in support of Paleostinian snuffies incarcerated in Israel, as well as of the families of Paleostinian "deaders," and condemned Israel for withholding millions of dollars it collects in taxes on behalf of the PA to prevent it from being funneled to the snuffies and their families.
The Council declared it will convene its next Congress on December 17. National dialogue among Paleostinian factions will be high on the agenda.
"While Hamas and the Islamic Jihad are not formally invited — since it will be an internal PLO event — they may participate in informal dialogues or discussions, as happened recently in Cairo," Fatah member Alrefai said. The Cairo event held in late July saw the participation of most Paleostinian factions, including Hamas, in an attempt to achieve reconciliation and organize elections for the first time since 2006 to strengthen the authority’s legitimacy among Paleostinians. It was boycotted by Islamic Jihad, in protest of the Paleostinian Authority’s recent arrests of its members.
[IsraelTimes] Port Moresby expected to inaugurate mission in capital during visit by Prime Minister James Marape, amid wave of similar announcements
News of Papua New Guinea’s embassy opening comes on the heels of two similar announcements from other countries. On Friday, Sierra Leone said that it would open an embassy in Jerusalem.
Paraguay announced the week before that it would reopen its embassy in the Israeli capital too.
Currently, the US, Guatemala, Honduras and Kosovo have embassies in Jerusalem.
Israel sees the moves as strengthening its claim to the city as its capital, though most foreign countries situate their embassies in or near Tel Aviv.
Hungary and Fiji are expected to announce embassy moves in the coming months as well.
Papua New Guinea does not currently have an embassy in Israel, but does maintain a consulate near Tel Aviv. Israel’s relations with the island nation are handled by its embassy in Australia.
The two countries established ties in 1978.
Papua New Guinea is one of the Pacific nations that regularly vote with Israel at 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... , and Tkachenko told Cohen during their call that his country would continue to do so. In December, Papua New Guinea was one of the 25 countries that joined Israel in opposing the UN General Assembly resolution requesting that the International Court of Justice weigh in on the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict.
However, some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... in 2018 it voted to condemn the US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, while five other Pacific nations rejected the condemnation.

The action against Mehdi Yarrahi comes almost a year after the death in jug of Iranian Kurd Mahsa Amini, 22, triggered months of protests around the country.
Amini had been arrested for alleged breach of the Islamic Theocratic Republic’s strict dress code requiring that a woman’s head and neck be covered.
Yarrahi, 41, on Friday released a song called "Roosarito," which means "Your Headscarf" in Persian, expressing support for last year’s protest movement.
"A legal case was filed against Mehdi Yarrahi following the release of an illegal song which defies the morals and customs of the Islamic society," the judiciary’s Mizan Online website says.
It was not immediately clear what the formal charges were. Yarrahi was not in jug.
