-Great Cultural Revolution
Convicted Sex Offender Arrests up 542% at Southern 'Border'
[Epoch Times] DEL RIO, Texas‐Border Patrol agents have arrested 353 illegal aliens with sex-related criminal convictions so far this fiscal year. A large number of the detainees had prior convictions for crimes involving a minor.

In all of fiscal 2020, agents apprehended 156 criminal sex offenders, and 58 total in fiscal 2019.

The number of criminals illegally crossing the southwest border has spiked in tandem with the border crossing surge this year. Convicted criminals are the most likely population of illegal aliens trying to avoid capture by Border Patrol.
Right. Everybody else wants to be captured, cleaned, and fed.
Border Patrol has detected more than 250,000 illegal aliens who have evaded capture so far this year, according to the newly-appointed Acting Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz on June 24. It's impossible to estimate how many have evaded Border Patrol without detection.
Several recent examples at the link.

#3  From The Drug Dealer's President...

Every indication is that the enormous quantity of fentanyl now entering the United States – across our open southern border – will make all previous overdose numbers pale by comparison. National statistics will not be in for some time, but preliminary local data is terrifying.

Milwaukee County is on track to see an 11% percent increase in overdose deaths over 2020. Deaths in 2020 were already 30% higher than the year before.

The Michigan Poison Center issued a warning on May 17, 2021, that 2021 overdoses in Cass and Van Buren counties had already surpassed the number of 2020 cases.

In Eugene County, Oregon overdose deaths in April and May 2021 were already up 70% over those in 2020.

All across the nation, local and state authorities are looking at a catastrophe.

#4  Sadly, every overdose death means that many repeat offenders — like George Floyd — won’t be repeating.

#6  It's all sad but keep in mind that the fentanyl is what drives many of them to crime in the first place. They need money to buy that stuff and holding a job when you're stoned can't be easy. Could well have been the reason why St. George the Floyd was passing that twenty dollar bill. No telling how many of those he passed successfully before he got caught.

#7  This is what happens when you send them back. If we convict them of a crime they should serve in the US where we can guarantee they serve their time. Then we should bill Mexico for the expanses and force them to pay tariffs if they do not.

Afghanistan
Dostum Vows to Return to North, Suppress Taliban
[ToloNews] Former vice president Marshal Abdul Rashid Dostum
...ethnic Uzbek warlord who distinguished himself fighting the Soviets and the Taliban. The story that he had a bad guy run over with a tank is an exaggeration. It was an armored personnel carrier...
, who is in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
for treatment, said Sunday he will soon return to his home province of Jawzjan in northern Afghanistan to suppress the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
in the north, after consultation with President Ghani and the Defense Ministry.

"I predicted this years ago," Dostum said, referring to Taliban offensives in northern provinces. "All districts, tanks were handed over to the Taliban without resistance. I don’t know what the plan is?"

He said that the reason behind the fall of the districts should be investigated.

"We have seen such issues many times. I was telling them that such a situation will come and I asked Mr. President to assign someone capable because even your security guard will not remain beside you the next day," Dostum said. "Now that such a situation has come, we will come to the north, it is our home, I have been raised there... I will be proud if I am killed and martyred there."

Dostum called on the security forces and public uprising members to not surrender to the Taliban and to continue fighting against the group.

"I will never leave the territory," he pledged, saying that he will definitely return.

This comes as the Taliban has intensified their offensives against Afghan forces on multiple fronts. So far over the last two months, over 100 districts have fallen to the group.

Five districts have fallen to the Taliban in the last 24 hours, including Shor Tapa in Balkh, Chak and Sayed Abad in Maidan Wardak, Rustaq in Takhar and Arghistan in Kandahar, adding another layer of complexity to the alarming situation that has emerged following the fall of territory to the holy warrior group.

Takhar politicians in Parliament said Rustaq is the 13th district in the northeastern province that has fallen to the Taliban in recent weeks.

The fall of strategic districts in the north, south and west has created concerns over the possible infiltration of Taliban into the income-generating territory in the country, including the Shirkhan town in Kunduz on the border with Tajikistan.

Kunduz's provincial council and a private sector entity said that they are concerned about the loss of Shirkhan's income to the Taliban and warned of threats posed to other border towns — the Aqina border town in Faryab and Ai Khanum in Takhar.

#2  The movie about the Special Forces A Team assigned to Dostums part of the Norther Alliance was a terrific semi=documentary. Dostum was an impressive character in that, and seemed a decent ally. But he is mired in an entire nation stuck in the miasma of fundamentalist Islam playing with tribal mindsets, western technology and the wealth of the drug trade.
Thank you GW Bush for your naive thinking we could fix the place. Lives and treasure have accomplished little in the long run.

Five Districts Fall to Taliban in 24 Hours
[ToloNews] Five districts have fallen to the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
in the last 24 hours, including Shor Tapa in Balkh, Chak and Sayed Abad in Maidan Wardak, Rustaq in Takhar and Arghistan in Kandahar, adding another layer of complexity to the alarming situation that has emerged following the fall of territory to the bully boy group.

Takhar politicians in Parliament said Rustaq is the 13th district in the northeastern province that has fallen to the Taliban in recent weeks.

"The Shirkhan border town is fully under Taliban control. Reports indicate that Aqina border town has also collapsed and Ai Khanum town, that shares a border with Tajikistan in Dasht-e-Qala district, is also under threat," said Hamiduddin Yuldash, an MP from Takhar.

The fall of strategic districts in the north, south and west has created concerns over the possible infiltration of Taliban into the income-generating territory in the country, including the Shirkhan town in Kunduz on the border with Tajikistan.

Kunduz's provincial council and a private sector entity said that they are concerned about the loss of Shirkhan's incomes to the Taliban and warned of threats posed to other border towns — the Aqina border town in Faryab and Ai Khanum in Takhar.

"Security problems have increased recently. Sometimes the customs department and the finance ministry tries to transfer its employees from one place to another," said Hujjat Fazli, the CEO of Harakat, an entity facilitating investment opportunities for the private sector.

"We ask the government to pay serious attention to Shirkhan border town, to retake it," said Khaluddin Hakimi, a member of the Kunduz provincial council.

Meanwhile,
...back at the shouting match, Bart was wondering if fisticuffs would be appropriate at this point...
Marshal Abdul Rashid Dostum
...ethnic Uzbek warlord who distinguished himself fighting the Soviets and the Taliban. The story that he had a bad guy run over with a tank is an exaggeration. It was an armored personnel carrier...
, former vice president, warned the Taliban that he will return to Jawzjan in the near future and will suppress the Taliban after consultation with the president.

"I will begin my work. I will suppress them. I am calling on the security forces to come to me when I arrive," Dostum told TOLOnews.

The deputy minister of interior for policy, Naqibullah Fayiq, said that the Taliban’s focus is on income-generating areas, including border towns, but pledged that these areas will be cleared of the group.

He said that 11 districts have been retaken from the Taliban in the last three days.

Figures collected by TOLOnews indicate that 108 districts have fallen to the Taliban in the last two months, but security forces have retaken 10 of the districts during this period.

#1  The arbakai [persian for messenger] are the anti-taliban. Community militia and village tough guys fighting for their right to not be ruled by some arseholes in Kabul, Quetta or Doha. They have their own jirga, their own intel networks, and some have even infiltrated Talibaners or turned them by marriage and dowry etc. Rich, poor, all kinds of pashtuns volunteer and train in secret to fight not only the shariah mad bastards but also the ISI presence hiding there. Several clans of erstwhile warlords have volunteered their wealth and resources to fight the taliban. They do not cooperate with or need the Afghan authorities as they see them as compromised and weak. It's the government that needs them from time to time, for support in skirmishes and protection in areas they can give talibs a licking. I won't say more, because American policy being what it is, they will likely be targeted on priority if their capabilities were known.

#3  That happens a lot actually. You have to understand their is no real police in certain areas. Every area has its own community police. If there are talib affiliated mujaheddin policing a sector and they come across an anti-taliban or defector of some kind, they'll arrest him.

In public, for the womenfolk of free citizens. At home in Saudi Arabia, at least, it’s the skimpiest of minidresses, to the point where my reporter did not know where to look. But slaves, concubines, and dancing girls do not have the privilege of modesty.

South Indian dance, uncontaminated by the innovations brought by waves of Muslim conquerers in the northern part of the continent, is very different:

Commanders: Taliban Attempted to Take Pul-e-Khumri
[ToloNews] Two army commanders on Sunday said the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
made multiple combined attacks overnight attempting to break key defense areas in the northern city of Pul-e-Khumri, but their attempts failed as they faced resistance by security forces.

One of these attacks in the Block Ha area in Pul-e-Khumri continued for three hours, commando forces said.

“Their attacks continued last night, but we resisted and there is no issue and we have enough equipment and personnel,” said Imam Hassan, an army commander in Baghlan.

However, residents pay the highest price as many of them have been displaced. One resident of the city, Mohammad Azim, said his home has changed into a stronghold, and he has lost assets and his cousin was killed.

“The Taliban came from one direction, and I went to the roof and told them to allow me to leave and then they can do anything here. They told me that they will not do anything. They told me that tanks will come, I said they will not fire. I asked them not to open fire. But they opened fire and I escaped with my nephew but he was martyred,” Azim said.

Some public uprising forces who have gone to Pul-e-Khumri city from Narin district in Baghlan said they have been stationed in the Band-e-Do area to prevent the Taliban from entering the northern city.

“This is the frontline. The Taliban are on the other side of those gardens that have been connected to the Dand-e-Shahabuddin area,” said Imam, commander of public uprising forces in Nahrin district.

Another resident of the city, Mohammad Aziz, a young man, who looks after his home alone and has sent his family members to a safe place, had a story similar to Azim's.

“People have left. These homes have been turned into strongholds,” Aziz said.

The Taliban started their offensives on Pul-e-Khumri 10 days ago and so far clashes are underway on the outskirts of the city while the key highway that connects Kabul with the north has remained closed to traffic during this time.

Clashes Inch Closer to Outskirts of Charikar City North of Kabul, City Bus Kaboomed
[ToloNews] Clashes between government forces and the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
have reached the outskirts of Charikar City in the central province of Parwan — 63 kilometers north of Kabul — but troops on the ground have not received orders from the center to retake the collapsed areas from the bad boys.

The control of two districts in Parwan, Siah Gerd district and Shinwari, fell to the Taliban in the last few days.

TOLOnews news hound Khaled Nikzad, who visited the frontlines in the Dara-e-Ghorband area of Parwan, said public uprising forces have joined the security and defense forces to fight the Taliban.

"Taliban are now in the position to make advances and we will not allow them to make advances toward Charikar City," said Hasibullah, a police officer in Parwan.

Some troops on the frontlines said they are fighting with less equipment than the turbans facing them.

"All these mujahedeen that you see here are waiting for an order to fight against this evil group and save the people from them," said Aziz Agha, member of public uprising forces.

"If you (Talibs) are killed you are from the Afghan nation, and if security forces are martyred they are also from this nation. We should try to come together," said Qazi Amin, a member of public uprising forces, referring to unity among the people.

Parwan residents said that the increase in Taliban attacks on Ghorband — 50 kilometers from Kabul — has raised concerns about their safety.

"If attention is not paid to the Dara-e-Ghorband valley, it is likely the Taliban will enter Charikar," said Hashmat, a Parwan resident.

"The forces should be supported to protect the city," said Khanullah, a Parwan resident.

But local officials in the province said that efforts to retake the lost areas have started.

"The security forces are there and they will soon push back the enemy and will not allow it to advance," said Abdul Wase, Security Officer at Parwan Police Headquarters.

Blast Targets Bus in Parwan, 13 People Wounded

[ToloNews] At least 13 people were maimed in a kaboom that targeted a bus carrying dozens of passengers in the city of Charikar, 63 kilometers north of Kabul in Parwan province, police confirmed.

The blast happened in Charikar’s District 2 at around 3:30 pm Afghanistan time on Sunday, police said.

Police said three of the maimed are at death's door.

Parwan police front man Salim Noori said women and kiddies were among the maimed.

Details are still not available about a blast that occurred in Bagram district of Parwan on May 29 that targeted a bus carrying university lecturers, killing four people.

No group has grabbed credit for Sunday's attack.

Somalia's Puntland region executes 21 al-Shabab fighters
[BBC] Twenty-one men have been executed in Somalia's semi-autonomous state of Puntland after they were convicted of being members of the Islamist militant group al-Shabab.

They were sentenced by a military court in Galkayo and shot by a firing squad.

State radio said 18 of the men had carried out assassinations and bombings over more than a decade.

As they were being executed the group attacked a town in another part of Somalia, reportedly killing soldiers.

Similar death sentences have been handed down by courts in other parts of Somalia before.

But this is reported to be the largest number of executions of al-Shabab members ever in Puntland.

Al-Shabaab militants kill at least 12 people in a raid on a town and military base in central Somalia
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

Militants attacked the base and nearby town of Wisil in Galmudug
...a semiautonomous region in central Somalia, bordering Puntland on the north. Galmudug is not trying to obtain international recognition as a separate nation, but rather considers itself autonomous within the larger Somali federalism, for what that's worth...
state, more than 700 kilometers (430 miles) from the capital Mogadishu, several sources told AFP.

Abdirahman Adan, commander of a paramilitary unit in Galmudug state, said by telephone it was difficult to know the exact number of dead. But for the moment they knew that 12 people, six of them from the security forces, had died in Wisil.

The attackers had been pushed back and many of them had been killed, he added, without saying how many.

Abdullahi Sahal, a community leader in Wisil, also said six civilians and six soldiers had been killed.

The attack started with the detonation of a vehicle loaded with explosives, said another paramilitary commander, Mohammed Mire.

"After the boom-mobile explosion, they started heavy machine guns," he said. But the security pushed them back, inflicting losses, and they were now in full control, he added.

Ahmed Ayanle, a local resident, said: "There was a enormous explosion which hit the town before a heavy exchange of gunfire started early in the morning."

"The fighting went on for more than an hour before the al-Shabaab
...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord...
bully boyz pulled out," he added.

Another local, Bashir Ahmed, said he had seen three dead soldiers and 10 others maimed.

The al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab confirmed the attack and claimed 34 soldiers at the military base had been killed.

Also on Sunday, further north in the state of Puntland
...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion...
, the authorities announced they had executed 21 al-Shabaab members — the largest ever execution carried out in Somalia.

Colonel Mumin Abdi Shire, commander of the Mudug region in Puntland, said they had been convicted by a local military court.

Direct translation of the article
[REGNUM] Representatives of the Tigray People's Liberation Front (NPLF) shot down a C-130 Hercules aircraft of the Ethiopian Armed Forces. This is reported by the publication Air Live.

The incident took place on June 23 in Tigray province. The downed liner belonged to the 15th squadron located at the Debre-Zeit air base. The plane was carrying ammunition and explosives.

Tigray People's Liberation fighters claimed responsibility for the downed plane that was provided to the Ethiopian Air Force by the United States in 2014.

Recall that the NPT is a rebel group fighting against the government of Ethiopia, the conflict erupted in November 2020, after the militants attacked a military base of the country's air force.

Tunisian navy rescues over 170 migrants at sea
[AlAhram] According to the UN, at least 760 people have died trying to make the Mediterranean crossing between January 1 and May 31

Tunisia's defence ministry said Sunday that its navy had rescued 178 migrants colonists who were trying to cross the Mediterranean from Libya to reach Europe.

Two bodies were recovered and 178 migrants colonists rescued during three operations off Tunisia's south coast, a ministry statement said.

The migrants colonists, who the ministry said were from Tunisia, Syria, Ivory Coast, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Mali and Æthiopia, had set off from the Libyan port of Zuwara overnight Friday to Saturday.

Tunisian authorities on Thursday intercepted 267 would-be migrants colonists who had also begun the sea crossing from Libya, most of them Bangladeshis, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said.

Red Islamic Thingy official Mongi Slim warned Thursday that centres set up to house migrants colonists in southern Tunisia were full.

According to IOM figures, more than 1,000 migrants colonists hoping to reach Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
had set off from Libya and ended up in Tunisia since January, and the number of departures is rising.

There have been 11,000 departures from January to April 2021 from Libya, over 70 percent more than in the same period last year, according to UN refugee agency UNHCR.

The agency said the "deteriorating" conditions of migrants colonists in Libya were pushing many to make the dangerous crossing from the North African coast to Europe.

Arabia
Marib clashes kill 111 govt, rebel fighters in 3 days: Yemeni govt sources
[AlAhram] The fighting between Thursday and Sunday killed 29 pro-government personnel and at least 82 rebels, the pro-government sources said

Clashes between rebels and 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 government fighters killed at least 111 in Marib in three days, pro-government sources said, following a renewed offensive by Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
bully boys.

The fighting between Thursday and Sunday killed 29 pro-government personnel and at least 82 rebels, the pro-government sources told AFP.

"These areas witnessed fierce fighting amid artillery shelling from both sides and intense coalition air raids," a government military official said, referring to the Saudi-led military coalition that backs the government.

The Iran-allied Houthi bully boyz escalated their efforts to seize Marib, the government's last stronghold in northern Yemen, in February, and the fighting has killed hundreds on both sides.

Control of the oil-rich region would strengthen the Huthis' bargaining position in peace talks, but the battle has also raised fears of a humanitarian catastrophe, as many Yemenis had fled to the area to escape fighting in other parts of the country.

Caribbean-Latin America
Darien Gap: Love Lost in the Jungle
God damn Joe Biden to the deepest ring of Hell for all the pain and destroyed lives he is causing, and all those who encouraged these trekkers, and all who think it is no big deal to open our borders to those coming here illegally.
The report continues at the link.
[MichaelYon] 27 June 2021
Panama City, Panama
Mind-burst, sans edit

(Paraphrasing from memory but I have verbatim transcript.)

Just interviewed a man who was in Darien jungle 22 days. He made it to Costa Rica. In San Jose now, trying to get passport and back to Ecuador. His trip to America is over.

Name: Nxxx xxxx. (Elided by me.) I asked why his first name sounds Arab and is family name sounds Armenian.

He said dad from Armenia but he grew up in Paleostine and now has business Ecuador, but the socialist president destroyed Ecuador. He was specific and without prompting that he and his younger Cuban wife struck out for United States due to Biden opening border.

His Cuban wife abandoned him in the jungle. She is in Tapachula, Mexico now heading to her family in Dallas.

Without prompting, he said the robbers and rapists he encountered are from xxxx xxxxx (elided by me)
.
He was so injured after the Mountain of Death (the third mountain after entering Darien from Colombia), that he slept four nights alone in the jungle alone. Guides on Colombia side left him his group after two days and they got lost on third day at the Montaña de la Muerte (Mountain of Death).

The 13 Cubans he was with left him in the jungle.

He said the guides got cell signal by climbing trees like monkeys. High up in the trees. This sounds like Embera or other Indians. You may recall that I sometimes mention their climbing to the clouds fast like monkeys. He said they just climb up a tree and make a call.

Nxxxx could no longer walk. Pulled in between two rocks for protection. Mosquitoes terrible. Used his wife’s perfume to rid the mosquitos and he said it worked, but it rained heavily each night. (I confirm rain...I was not far away in Darien when he was lost).

Nxxxx had thrown out all his clothes. Most of them do. Said vultures literally landed in trees above and he could see them waiting in circles above. (I confirm that jungle is loaded vultures — the only place I have seen so many is Florida in winter.)

Nxxxx was stuck there for four days no walking. Just praying. Nxxxx said he saw many bibles along the trail, btw. — people were so exhausted and danger so high on the Mountain of Death that many were throwing away even food.

Cameroon
...a long, narrow country that fills the space between Nigeria and Chad on the northeast, CAR to the southeast. Prior to incursions by Boko Haram nothing ever happened there...
ians came and fed and helped him. Nxxxx said Africans and Haitians were very good to him but Latins not. Latins just passed him by but Africans and Haitians helped a lot. I said that is good because I hear many bad stories about Haitians, but I am meeting Haitians who seem fine people and often are helping people in the jungle.

Europe
Two injured in stabbing in German city of Erfurt
[Jpost] Two people have been injured in a stabbing attack in the east German city of Erfurt, according to German media.

German news site Die Welt reported on Monday morning that an unknown perpetrator attacked two members of the public, aged 45 and 68, with a knife before fleeing the scene.

The attacker is being described by German police officials as being in his twenties, having light hair, and a scarred face.
Eventually, the officers tracked down and detained the 32-year-old suspect in his own apartment.

The police said the alleged assailant was also injured, but his injuries appeared to be self-inflicted. The authorities moved the suspect to a hospital.

Police said the suspect in Monday's attack, identified as Johannes L.,
...how quickly they name the non-Muslim ones, unconcerned about creating prejudice...
had a history of mental issues and violent mostly peaceful crimes. There was no indication that the stabbings were politically motivated.
Deutsche Welle now thoughtfully adds the following public service message to all such stories:
If you are suffering from serious emotional strain or suicidal thoughts, do not hesitate to seek professional help. You can find information on where to find such help, no matter where you live in the world, at this website: https://www.befrienders.org/

Greece: Raped by Afghan, Pregnant Woman Pleaded for Help But Three Pakistanis Passing by Raped Her Too
[Breitbart] An Afghan migrant raped a 25-year-old pregnant woman in an Athens neighbourhood, and when she begged for help from three Pakistanis passing by, they raped her, too.

The horrific incidents took place in the Agios Panteleimonas neighbourhood of Athens early on Wednesday morning and saw the victim, who is three months pregnant and has mental disability issues, raped by four migrants.

The first incident took place when she had gone to the Omonia area of Athens to get her mobile phone fixed. An Afghan migrant approached her and led her to a secluded area and raped her, Greek newspaper Proto Thema reports.

Following the sex attack, the young woman approached the Pakistani migrants for help, and the men told her to follow them. After a taxi ride to an apartment in Agios Panteleimonas, the three men took turns raping the woman.

Neighbours stated that they heard the young woman screaming and calling out for help. Afraid they might be caught, the three migrants let the woman leave.

The rape victim went to the police, who raided the apartment and found DNA from the young woman and items of her clothing. All three Pakistanis were arrested, but the Afghan migrant is still at large.

The case is just one of many sex attacks involving migrants in Greece, particularly Pakistani nationals.

Last month, a Pakistani was arrested after breaking into the home of a 65-year-old Greek woman with the intent to rob her but ended up allegedly raping her.

Just days earlier, a 34-year-old Pakistani man was arrested after being accused of attempting to rape several underage girls in the southern suburbs of Athens. The man was caught after one victim filmed him on her mobile phone and posted the video on social media to identify him.

Police later arrested the man in central Athens and found that he had an expired asylum application, as well.

Palestinian labor minister to quit amid protests over activist’s death

[IsraelTimes] Nasri Abu Jaishto to resign on Monday as his Left-wing Paleostinian People’s Party withdraws from PA government over death in jug of Nizar Banat.

The labor minister in the Paleostinian Authority will resign, a member of his party said Sunday, as protesters marched for a fourth day demanding PA 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....
step down.

The left-wing Paleostinian People’s Party has decided to withdraw from the Fatah-led PA government due to "its lack of respect for laws and public freedoms," central committee member Issam Abu Bakr said.

Nasri Abu Jaish, the labor minister and the People’s Party representative in the government, will therefore resign on Monday, Abu Bakr told AFP.

Demonstrations against the PA erupted Thursday following the violent mostly peaceful arrest and death in jug of activist Nizar Banat and continued Sunday evening.

Banat, a 43-year-old known for social media videos denouncing alleged corruption within the PA, died on Thursday shortly after security forces stormed his house, beat him, and dragged him away, his family said.

The PA has announced the opening of an investigation into Banat’s death, but it has done little to appease anger on the streets.

On Sunday evening, protesters defied a heavy deployment of security forces, holding up photographs of the activist as they marched in the West Bank, in Banat’s hometown of Hebron.

In Ramallah, the seat of the PA, protesters demanded those responsible for Banat’s death be held accountable, while several supporters of the Fatah party of Abbas gathered to shout slogans backing the president.

The Paleostinian Journalists Syndicate called for the dismissal of the PA police chief "due to the police’s failure to protect journalists who were attacked, prevented from reporting and threatened" within view of coppers at the protests.

According to the autopsy, injuries indicated Banat had been beaten on the head, chest, neck, legs, and hands, with less than hour elapsing between his arrest and his death, doctor Samir Abu Zarzour said.

On Saturday, protesters in Ramallah hurled rocks at Paleostinian security forces, who opened fire with a barrage of tear gas canisters, with reports of several injured.

Paleostinian human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
group al-Haq on Sunday accused security forces of "attacking the participants with batons and rocks" while dragging others to the ground and beating them, adding that some suffered head injuries.

Protesters called for 86-year-old Abbas to quit.

Banat had registered as a candidate in Paleostinian parliamentary elections, which had been set for May until Abbas postponed them indefinitely. The president’s original mandate expired in 2009 and he has since governed by decree.

In April, Abbas declared that legislative and presidential polls set for May and July respectively should not be held until Israel guaranteed voting could take place in annexed East Jerusalem.

Al-Haq warned there had been a "serious regression on public rights and freedoms" since the decision to scrap the elections.

In addition to holding the presidency, Abbas is also head of Fatah and president of the Paleostine Liberation Organisation (PLO), recognized internationally as representing the Paleostinians.

But Fatah faces a growing challenge from its longtime rivals, the Islamist terror organization Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",, which rules the Paleostinian coastal enclave of 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...

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
US military launches airstrikes against three facilities on Iraq-Syria border
[FOXNEWS] The U.S. military has conducted defensive precision Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s against three facilities near the Iraq-Syria border region Sunday evening.

According to Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby, the facilities are used by several Iran-backed militia groups engaged in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) attacks against U.S. personnel and facilities in Iraq, including Kata'ib Hezbollah (KH) and Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada (KSS).

"As demonstrated by this evening's strikes, President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... or is that an act?......
has been clear that he will act to protect U.S. personnel. Given the ongoing series of attacks by Iran-backed groups targeting U.S. interests in Iraq, the President directed further military action to disrupt and deter such attacks," Kirby added. "The United States took necessary, appropriate, and deliberate action designed to limit the risk of escalation - but also to send a clear and unambiguous deterrent message."

A U.S. defense official with knowledge of the strikes told Fox News that US Air Force F-15s and F-16s were used in the operation. The strikes took place at approximately 6 p.m. Eastern Time, or 1 a.m. local time.

At least one facility used by Iran’s militia forces to launch and recover drones was destroyed, the official added. Recent strikes by the crude drones have targeted Americans in Baghdad and Erbil in northern Iraq.

The official said he does not expect "a lot of casualties" from the Iranian-backed forces because of the time of the strike.

All U.S. jets returned to base without a problem, the official added.

Sere Kaniye Camp to accommodate more IDPs in Syria's northeast
[NPASYRIA] The administration of Sere Kaniye Camp in Hasakah, northeastern Syria, said on Sunday that the camp has been expanded to receive larger numbers of displaced people residing in schools.

The Social Affairs and Labor Authority, in cooperation with the council of the Hasakah region in northeastern Syria, is preparing to transfer those displaced by the Ottoman Turkish invasion of Sere Kaniye in 2019 from their temporary shelters in schools to Sere Kaniye Camp after its expansion.

In August 2020, AANES’ Social Affairs Board allocated two camps to receive the displaced, who were forced to stay in schools that were designated as shelters amid an absence of humanitarian support.

Youssef Sheikhmous, the co-chair of the administration of Sere Kaniye Camp, said on Sunday that the camp was expanded with an area of 185 hectares, bringing its total area to 785 hectares.

Sheikhmous indicated, in an interview with North Press, that the camp was provided with 1,016 tents, bringing the number of tents to 3,656.

Sere Kaniye Camp began receiving displaced people from shelters in schools in the city of Hasakah last September.

In September 2020, the Social Affairs Board of the AANES transferred the displaced of Sere Kaniye, who were staying in 75 schools in the city of Hasakah, to Sere Kaniye Camp, including 2,165 families of 11,300 people, according to the camp administration.

Many families refused to leave the schools despite the decision of the Autonomous Administration, which was notified to them in advance, which came in the interest of the progress of the educational process.

Ahin Ahmed, the administrator of the committee to transfer the IDPs from the shelters to the camp, said that for some time, "we have been working to expand the camp to transfer those who remain in schools to the camp to secure their supplies that are not available in schools."

Ahmed pointed out that the tents are ready, as well as the land, "but we are waiting for one of the organizations to adopt the project and prepare the infrastructure for it, such as bathrooms and sanitation."

There are many schools that have not yet been evacuated, and their numbers are large; there are 50 schools in the Jazira region, and in Hasakah only, there are 34 schools to house the displaced. The rest are in its towns and countryside, according to Ahmed.

However,
a clean conscience makes a soft pillow...
many displaced families are still living in harsh conditions due to overcrowding of the two camps and the scarcity of humanitarian aid, while others have settled in cities and towns in Syria’s northeast.

ISIS claims killing attempt of official in Syria's Raqqa
[NPASYRIA] On Sunday morning, the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) claimed an liquidation attempt of the head of the Farmers Union in Raqqa, north Syria.

Through its official media pages, ISIS said, its members targeted two cars of an "official and a member of the Civil Council" with machine guns, which led to their injury and damage to the vehicles they were traveling in.

The button men shot Ali Muhammad al-Salem, head of the Farmers Union in Raqqa, near Abu Fasla Bridge on the southern side of the town of al-Samra, 10 km east Raqqa, which led to his injury with several bullets, an eyewitness from the town, told North Press.

Al-Salem was transferred to the Modern Medicine Hospital in Raqqa for treatment.

The Farmers Union is one of the civil society organizations, which works to communicate between the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) and social groups and economic activities.

The eastern countryside of Raqqa has recently witnessed the activity of ISIS sleeper cells by threatening workers in the Autonomous Administration Boards and institutions.

On May 23, ISIS claimed the targeting of the lawyer Khaled al-Mizan in the town of al-Karamah in the eastern countryside of Raqqa.
