[KhaamaPress] The first trilateral summit between Afghanistan, India, and China was convened in capital Kabul on Saturday.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan in a statement said the summit was chaired by deputy foreign minister Edris Zaman and was attended by the Ambassadors of India and China.
The statement further added that Mr. Zaman described both India as historic and good neighbors of Afghanistan and emphasized that more focus should be made on training the civilian and military staff as well as demining, energy, agricultural development, transport, regional connectivity, joint trade chamber between the three countries and other areas which have high economic priority for the three countries.
The Ambassadors of India and China hailed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs leadership for hosting the first trilateral summit and added that their countries are prepared to cooperate in the mentioned sectors.
[IsraelTimes] Officials say 800 visas granted to Gazooks are the first since Cairo launched military offensive against jihadists in restive Sinai.
Some 800 Paleostinians crossed Sunday from the Gazoo Strip into Egypt on the initial stage of a pilgrimage to Mecca, the first time since 2014 Egyptian authorities have granted visas for such trips.
The pilgrims left at around dawn and were to be met by buses on the Egyptian side to bring them to Cairo’s airport, from where they would fly to Mecca in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , said a Paleostinian official at the Rafah crossing in the Gazoo Strip.
Fifteen Gazooks among the 800 were not authorized to cross, according to a Paleostinian security official at Rafah, without providing the reasons.
Security sources on the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing confirmed it was the first such permission for the Moslem umrah pilgrimage since the start of Egyptian military operations in northern Sinai in 2014.
Umrah is the lesser pilgrimage to Mecca that can be completed throughout the year, as opposed to the annual hajj pilgrimage.
Around 2,500 pilgrims are authorized annually to leave Gazoo via Egypt for the hajj, one of the five pillars of Islam that Moslems must undertake at least once in their lifetime.
The Rafah crossing with Egypt is the only one out of Gazoo not controlled by Israel. For a substantial part of the past decade, Egypt has kept the crossing closed, but reopened it 10 months ago.
In January, Egypt briefly shuttered Rafah over a spat between Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, and Paleostinian Authority border officials. After PA withdrew its employees, Hamas and other Gazoo-base officials said that promised them the crossing would reopen on a regular basis in the near future.
According to reports in Hebrew-language media, Egypt last month offered Hamas to permanently reopen Rafah if the Gazoo rulers reined in festivities with Israeli troops.
Around 300 travelers use the Rafah crossing in either direction on a daily basis, according to figures dating to December provided by Israeli NGO Gisha.
[AlAhram] British foreign secretary Jeremy Hunt said on Sunday that a grinding of the peace processor in Yemen's main port city "could be dead within weeks" without more committed effort from both sides.
The agreement to implement a troop withdrawal in Hodeidah, a lifeline for millions facing famine, by Jan. 7 was intended to clear the way for wider negotiations to end the four-year war but progress has been slow.
"We are now in last chance saloon for the Stockholm grinding of the peace processor," Hunt said in a statement during a visit to Yemen.
"The process could be dead within weeks if we do not see both sides sticking to their commitments in Stockholm."
[DW] Germany's Interior Ministry and Justice Ministry have reportedly agreed on a proposal to expatriate IS fighters. Interior Minister Horst Seehofer has tried to link the legislation with broader citizenship reform.
Germany's governing coalition has agreed to strip fighters of the "Islamic State" (IS) militant group of their citizenship, according to German outlets Suddeutsche Zeitung, NDR and WDR.
The new law would apply to jihadists who are of age, have a second nationality and take part in future battles as part of IS. It would not apply to IS fighters who are currently imprisoned.

Germany's Nationality Act already includes a similar rule for dual nationals who join "the armed forces or a comparable armed unit" of another country without the permission of the German Defense Ministry.
The new legislation would expand the Nationality Act to apply to someone who "takes part in combat operations abroad for a terrorist militia," which is defined as an "armed paramilitary organization" that violates international law in order to "establish new state or state structures."

Islamic State = Not German (or any other nationality except IS).
[BREITBART] Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... fighter Khaled Shahadeh is said to have not only returned to Sweden from the Middle East for medical treatment, but was able to return to the battlefield afterwards.
The 28-year-old is one regarded as a particular threat to Sweden should he return to the Scandinavian country yet again, Expressen reports.
Shahadeh went to fight for the Islamic State in Syria, but the ISIS fighter returned to Sweden after being injured in the shoulder during a battle, according to his father.
After coming back to Sweden, Shahadeh’s injury was treated by Swedish medical professionals ‐ after which he once again departed the country and headed back to Islamic State controlled territory to fight for the terror group.
Thomas Lindén, Chairman of the Medical Association’s Ethics and Responsibility Council, defended the medical treatment given to the Islamic State radical, saying: "We provide care to the poor and the rich, we provide care to murderers who are in prison."
"If it is so that you should punish people then other bodies in society may do so. Health care should not be part of the punishment apparatus," he claimed.

If they knew he was ISIS they should be fined the cost of his treatment.
[DAWN] Chelsea Manning ...formerly Bradley Manning before he decided to become a girl. He, or she or whatever it was, was a misfit Army intel analyst who decided to leak all the secrets he could lay hands on. Sentenced to 35 years in Leavenworth, he was sprung on an Obamapardon in 2017.... , the former US military officer placed in durance vile Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! for a massive leak of US secrets to Wikileaks, has been ordered to appear before a grand jury, her lawyer said on Friday.
Moira Meltzer-Cohen said she had not been told what the grand jury was investigating, but US media have speculated that it might involve the criminal case against WikiLeaks being developed by federal prosecutors in Virginia.
Meltzer-Cohen said Manning had filed a motion to challenge the subpoena, which was immediately put under seal in the mysterious case.
"I object strenuously to this subpoena, and to the grand jury process in general," Manning, 31, said in a statement.
Grand juries, only used in the US and Liberia, are groups of citizens operating separately from courts who investigate whether to bring criminal charges. They can compel witnesses and suspects to testify.
"We’ve seen this power abused countless times to target political speech," added Manning.
"I have nothing to contribute to this case and I resent being forced to endanger myself by participating in this predatory practice." Manning, a former army intelligence analyst, was placed in durance vile Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! for 35 years in 2013 for giving WikiLeaks more than 700,000 classified documents related to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The revelations by Manning, who is transgender and was then known as Bradley Manning, exposed covered-up misdeeds and possible crimes by US troops and allies.
Her actions made her a hero to anti-war and anti-secrecy activists, but US establishment figures branded her a traitor. They also made WikiLeaks a force in the global anti-secrecy movement.
Then-president Barack Obama I inhaled. That was the point... commuted her sentence, leading to her release in May 2017. Manning is scheduled to appear in front of the grand jury on Tuesday.

I hope they force him (yes him) to testify and reveal perjury they can charge him with. That pardon was a damned joke that cost lives.

Not to be confused with Congressional hearings. Lying to grand juries can get you time in jail. Lying in Congressional hearings gets you time in the Legacy Infortainment Enterprises outlets.
[DAWN] India's Ministry of External Affairs on Saturday rejected a resolution on Indian atrocities in Indian Kashmiree adopted by an Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) ministerial meeting in Abu Dhabi, terming the matter an "internal" issue.
According to the Foreign Office (FO), OIC member states in a resolution adopted by the 46th session of the Council of Foreign Ministers, "reiterated that Jammu and Kashmire remains the core dispute between Pakistain and India and its resolution is indispensable for the dream for peace in South Asia."
The OIC resolution had condemned in the strongest terms recent wave of Indian terrorism in Indian Kashmiree and expressed deep concern over atrocities and human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... violations in the occupied valley.
There — that’s done. Who is ready for tea?.

Is it just me or is the name "Organization of Islamic Cooperation" inherently funny?
[AlAhram] The United States said on Sunday it was trying to find out if Pakistain used U.S.-built F-16 jets to down an Indian warplane, potentially in violation of U.S. agreements, as the stand-off between the nuclear-armed Asian neighbors appeared to be easing.
Pakistain and India both carried out aerial bombing missions this week, including a clash on Wednesday that saw an Indian pilot shot down over the disputed region of Kashmire in an incident that alarmed global powers and sparked fears of a war.
A Pakistain military front man on Wednesday denied Indian claims that Pakistain used F-16 jets.

...Well, the piece of wreckage from the Slammer (AIM-120C5 missile) that the Indians found was kind of a dead giveaway. And it looks like the PAF managed a first in any event: the first F-16 lost in air-to-air combat. Nice going.
The IAF had some problems this go-around too, but on the whole they turned in a thoroughly professional and highly competent performance. The Paks just managed to utterly embarrass themselves yet again, especially with their Baghdad Bob-style updates (the Indians really didn't say much until the Paks would open their big mouths...and then the Inidans would show evidence that they were full of it. Well played on their part.).

Where did the government of Afghanistan find a spare US$1 million?
[Ynet] Afghanistan has given $1 million to the main UN program for Paleostinian refugees.
Abdul Rahim Sayed Jan, Afghanistan's ambassador to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... , presented the donation on Sunday to the commissioner of the UN Relief and Works Agency, or UNRWA, in an Istanbul ceremony.
Turkey's foreign minister, who hosted the meeting, congratulated Afghanistan for the donation. Mevlut Cavusoglu said that despite the hardships suffered by the Afghan people, their country has shown "the most beautiful example of international brotherhood with its noble act."

Liberated Afghanistan has always been a passive aggressive, politically hostile and evil Sharia abomination; and it has always been rewarded for being such.
[IsraelTimes] Syria has attended a meeting of Arab states today for the first time since its conflict broke out in 2011, marking another step towards the country’s political reintegration into the region.
Syria’s parliament speaker, Hammouda Sabbagh, traveled to Amman for an Arab inter-parliamentary meeting.
His Jordanian counterpart, Atef al-Tarawneh, called in a speech for regional countries "to work towards a political settlement to the Syrian crisis... and for Syria to regain its place" in the Arab world.
A growing number of Arab states have voiced support for Syria’s return to the Arab League ...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... , which suspended the country’s membership in November 2011, as the corpse count mounted in its war.
Divisions within the pan-Arab organization, however, have stalled the readmission of Syria, which with the support of Russia and Iran has largely regained control of its territory from rebel groups and jihadists.
But the UAE reopened its Damascus embassy in December, the same month as Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir Head of the National Congress Party. He came to power in 1989 when he, as a brigadier in the Sudanese army, led a group of officers in a bloodless military coup that ousted the government of Prime Minister Sadiq al-Mahdi and eventually appointed himself president-for-life. He has fallen out with his Islamic mentor, Hasan al-Turabi, tried to impose shariah on the Christian and animist south, resulting in its secessesion, and attempted to Arabize Darfur by unleashing the barbaric Janjaweed on it. Sudan's potential prosperity has been pissed away in warfare that has left as many as 400,000 people dead and 2.5 million displaced. Omar has been indicted for genocide by the International Criminal Court but nothing is expected to come of it. made the first visit of any Arab leader to the Syrian capital since 2011.

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) ‐ Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... on Sunday arrived in Baghdad, on an official visit, during which he is scheduled to meet with his Iraqi counterpart Barham Saleh to discuss the current political situation in the country.
Abbas is set to meet with Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi to discuss obstacles facing the Paleostinian cause, as well as means of promoting relations between the two countries in all fields.
The president is accompanied by Head of the Paleostinian General Intelligence Majed Faraj, Economic Affairs Adviser Mohammad Mustafa, and Diplomatic Adviser Majdi al-Khalidi.
[IsraelTimes] Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said on Sunday that he had offered Palestinian “expertise and companies” to help Iraq with their post war reconstruction, the official PA news site Wafa reported.
Abbas, who is making his first visit to Iraq in several years, made the offer at a press conference alongside Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi in Baghdad.
The PA president said Palestinians were ready to help rebuild Iraq, which has suffered major material losses in armed conflicts over the past 17 years, with “Palestinian expertise and companies,” the report stated, without elaborating. Cuz everyone was laughing too hard
The Palestinians sometimes sponsor limited international aid projects. For instance, the PA Health Ministry recently sent a delegation of 16 doctors to Venezuela to provide medical care to locals there.
It is not clear how much resources Ramallah, which is heavily cash-strapped, could provide to help rebuild Iraq. The Palestinians are themselves very reliant on international assistance.
Abbas is slated to fly to Jordan on Monday and then return to the West Bank.
Separately, several senior Palestinian officials on Sunday denied reports that Abbas would soon visit Syria and meet Syrian President Bashar Assad.
[Rudaw] Tehran wants to play a strategic role in rebuilding the electricity infrastructure in Iraq over the next three years despite US sanctions, Iranian Energy Minister Reza Ardakanian told an Iranian news agency on Sunday.
Successive Iraqi governments have been unable to provide 24-hour electricity to the public since the 2003 war. Blackouts are a daily occurrence across Iraq and the Kurdistan Region and have become a soaring source of resentment.
"Right now, we are planning to play an important role in rebuilding the Iraq electricity sector in the framework of a three year plan," Reza Ardakanian told Tasnim news agency on Sunday. "In the last visit to Tehran by the Iraqi electricity minister, we signed memorandum of understanding, and as far as we are aware, the agreement to continue providing electricity to Iraq from Iran will continue for another year."
Unlike other oil producing Gulf states, Iraq burns more than 60 percent of its associated gas which is equivalent to 196,000 bpd of crude oil. To deal with the recurring blackouts, Baghdad has relied on
imported gas from its powerful eastern neighbor since 2005 to use in gas turbine power plants.
However as the Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... administration took increasingly aggressive postures against Tehran, the electricity crisis fueled protests in oil-rich Basra last summer.
As a whole, Trump sanctioning approach in trying to bring down Iran energy export to zero has ran afoul. Washington has given two exemptions to Iraq one 45 days in November and the other a 90 day waiver in December which will run out this month for Iraq to stop importing gas from Iran to use in electricity generating plants.
The Iranian minister Ardakanian said that Iran is the best option for the neighboring countries dealing with shortage of electricity: "Over the last years, we have imported over $6 billion of electricity to Iraq, and we have received over $5 billion and we have reached arrangements for the rest of the payment and god willing there will be no complications."
Iraq imports 900-1,300 MW of electricity from Iran per year, according the US Information Energy Agency (EIA). "From 2006 to 2016, distribution losses averaged 42% of total electricity supply," EIA detailed.
Iraq produces 16.9 GW of electricity, but is capable of producing 26.2 GW, added EIA. The Iraqi electricity minister blames "mismanagement" by his predecessors for a lack of funds which will not allow Baghdad to sign multi-billion dollar deals with Siemens or General Electric to update the power grid.
The Kurdistan Regional Government previously has imported electricity from Iran to deal with its constant power shortages but now plans to utilize the natural gas produced in the region to generate more electricity.
However, a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all... that stopped five years ago.
"The Kurdistan Region has not imported any electricity from Iran or The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...Qatar's colony in Asia Minor.... since 2014 because of the financial crises but also because the KRG wants to rely on its own resources," Mohammad Amin Hawramani , an advisor at the KRG electricity ministry, told Rudaw English.
Dana Gas, an Abu Dhabi based natural gas company that operates the Khor Mor field in the Kurdistan Region, provides natural gas to local power plants in the region to generate electricity. The company said in a press statement in November that it has increased its natural gas production by 30 percent and "will soon supply a new plant in Bazian [Sulaimani province]..." in addition to two other plants.
Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi will face a challenge this summer when electricity consumption soars with temperatures hovering around 50 Celsius. Abdul-Mahdi says he is prioritizing services in his government.

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) ‐ At least four million displaced persons have been repatriated in Iraq since the liberation of Iraqi territories from Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... murderous Moslems in 2017, the Ministry of Displacement and Migration said on Saturday.
"Out of 4.4 million displaced persons, four million have safely returned to their homes across Iraq," Al Ekhbariya TV channel quoted the ministry as saying in a statement.
The ministry added that 95,000 families, made up of 465,000 displaced people, are still residing at refugee camps across the nation.
According to the statement, Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi is personally following up the file of the families of Islamic State murderous Moslems in Iraq and the neighboring countries, and has not issued any directives on that score so far.
The United Nations ...where theory meets practice and practice loses... says nearly five million people have been displaced since Islamic State murderous Moslems took over large areas of Iraq in 2014 to proclaim a self-styled "Islamic Caliphate".
Local and international rights agencies have repeatedly highlighted poor living conditions both at refugee camps and at Islamic State-held areas. IS murderous Moslems had regularly executed civilians attempting to flee their havens. Officials have also occasionally pointed out that refugees were reluctant to return home due to the severe damage to infrastructure.
In December 2017, former Iraqi prime minister Haider al-Abadi declared final victory over the terrorist Islamic State group three years after the Death Eater group captured about a third of Iraq’s territory.

[IsraelTimes] Move follows a rise in tensions over closure of an entrance to holy compound.
Israel has banned several Islamic officials appointed by Jordan from entering the Temple Mount in Jerusalem following festivities between Paleostinian worshipers and Israeli police in recent weeks.
Abdel Azem Salhab,
...also spelt Abdul Azim Salhab in our archives, and sometimes Abdel Azeem Salhab. This is why the No Fly lists are such a mess...
the highest-ranking official in the Waqf, the Jordanian-run council that oversees the site, said Israeli police handed him and two other Paleostinian officials the order on Sunday.
The site, the Jews’ holiest, is referred to as the Noble Sanctuary by Moslems, who consider it the third-holiest place in Islam.
Salhab said police informed him the ban was because of his role in opening a gate that has been closed by Israeli court order since 2003. Last month, thousands streamed into the closed-off section during Friday prayers.
Jordan’s Religious Affairs Minister Abdel Nasser Abu Albasal condemned the Israeli decision as "a new escalation" meant to disrupt the council’s work. Police last week also briefly detained Salhab, which led to a strong condemnation from Jordan.
In a series of recent protests, hundreds of Moslem worshipers have clashed with police and scores have been locked away Book 'im, Mahmoud! after they tried to break into the plaza through the sealed entrance.
The Gate of Mercy, or Golden Gate, on the eastern side of the Temple Mount, was sealed by Israeli authorities over 15 years ago because the group managing the area had ties to Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, and the Waqf was carrying out construction work Israel deemed illegal and which officials believe has led to the destruction of antiquities from periods of Jewish presence in the area.
The Waqf administration appealed to the attorney general last month, seeking his intervention in the police decision to close the gate, the Haaretz daily reported.
The Waqf has seen a new infusion of activists recently as Jordan, its longtime patron and overseer, moved earlier this month to share control with local Jerusalem Paleostinian leaders.
In mid-February, Jordan enlarged the Waqf’s council from 11 members to 18. For the first time, Paleostinian Authority officials and religious leaders were installed in the body, which has historically been made up of individuals close to the Jordanian monarchy.
Israel has barred Sheikh Abdel Azim Salhab, head of the Waqf religious authority that runs the site, from Al-Aqsa Mosque for 40 days and his deputy for four months.
[DAWN] US allies in the Middle East risk an uprising by their "humiliated citizens" if they continue to rely on Washington, a top Iranian security official warned on Sunday in comments carried by state media.
"(US President) Trump and even his underlings ridicule and humiliate Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and the (United Arab) Emirates day and night, saying that you're nothing without us and cannot last a day without America's support," said secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Ali Shamkhani.
Back in October 2018, Trump said that Saudi Arabia's 83-year-old King Salman ...either the largest species of Pacific salmon or the current Sheikh of the Burnin' Sands, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and Lord of Most of the Arabians.... "might not be there for two weeks" without US military support. The comments were mostly shrugged off by Riyadh.
"Our prediction about America's allies in the region is that if they continue the policy of relying on Islam's enemies, they will face the uprising of their humiliated citizens," said Shamkhani, whose comments were published by the official IRNA news agency.

How very sweet of him. How does the Netherlands plan to deal with the situation?
[AlAhram] The Dutch husband of a British teenager who was stripped of her citizenship after joining the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group wants to return to the Netherlands with her and their child, the BBC reported on Sunday.
Shamima Begum, 19, left London with two school friends to join IS when she was 15 but now wants to return to the UK with her newborn son. Her British citizenship was revoked last month on security grounds.
The fate of Begum, who was found in a detention camp in Syria last month, has illustrated the ethical, legal and security conundrum that governments face when dealing with the families of Death Eaters who swore to destroy the West.
Citing an interview with her husband Yago Riedijk, the BBC reported he had fought for IS but had surrendered to a group of Syrian fighters and was being held in a Kurdish detention center in north-eastern Syria.
The BBC said Riedijk now wants to return to the Netherlands with his wife and son.
"She seemed in a good state of mind," he said of when he first met her. "It was her own choice. She asked to look for a partner for her, and I was invited. She was very young ... she chose to get married and I chose to marry her."
