Afghanistan
UN Experts Call for Investigations on Treatment of Women in Afghanistan
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] [Khaama (Afghanistan)] Following reports of women being lashed, the Special Rapporteurs of the UN have demanded an investigation into the suppression of women’s rights in Afghanistan as a form of gender persecution.

Experts stated that in Afghanistan, recent months have seen a rise in the fundamental rights abuses of women, which are already "severe and unacceptable," according to a news release from the UN on November 25.

The Special Rapporteurs warned that such gender bias and persecution is a crime against humanity that is punishable under international law.

The UN expert’s remarks correspond with the recent public flogging of 14 people, 3 of whom were women, in an Afghan football stadium in front of a large crowd.

According to Pashtun-infested Logar officials, fourteen people—three women and eleven men—who were accused of robbery and "moral crimes"—were publicly flogged in the eastern Afghan province of Pashtun-infested Logar. They received 39 lashes each.

The UN Special Rapporteurs said that women’s rights activists have been increasingly singled out, assaulted, and detained in recent months, using activist Zarifa Yaquobi as an illustration who is still detained in an unknown location.

The experts urged the international community to take action to investigate and prosecute those responsible for gender-based violence in "appropriate international and extra-territorial jurisdictions" while also working to restore women’s rights in Afghanistan.

Following Afghanistan’s political upheaval and the installation of the new administration, the authorities made a commitment to uphold women’s rights, but later reversed their stance and began enforcing severely stringent regulations against them.

#1  UN have demanded an investigation into the suppression of women’s rights in Afghanistan

Good. Why not send some moslemniscious mohammedites over there to report back that everything's peachy? I'll bet they have plenty of those in the Special Racketeers Rapporteurs. Send some African moslems.

#2  I would rather the "experts" to go themselves.
Posted by: Chris || 11/28/2022 10:26 Comments || Top||

#3  Because the Government of Afghanistan doesn't know? Just send them a note and ask about it, since it will have the same effect as your expensive, tedious, woke, silly study to report the obvious, that fundamentalist Taliban are cruel, misogynistic a-holes, except you won't dare say that.

#4  The experts will probably conclude that a 'tranche' is badly needed.

#5  The Taliban are afraid of women, that's why they treat women so badly.

Iraq
Turkey's Defense Minister: 480 PKK has been ''neutralized'' since launching Claw-lock.


The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
's defense minister, Hulusi Akar, on Sunday said that his country's military has "neutralized" 480 members of the anti-Ankara Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) during the ongoing Operation Claw-lock in the north of the Kurdistan region.

Ottoman Turkish authorities use the term "neutralize" to imply that "the gunnies in question surrendered, were killed, or captured."

Speaking in a meeting at the Ottoman Turkish military advanced headquarters near the borders with Iraq, Akar said that 13 PKK fighters has been "neutralized" in the past two days.

Operation Claw-Lock is an ongoing military operation of the Ottoman Turkish Armed Forces in northern Iraq. The operation is taking place in the Duhok Governorate against the Kurdistan Workers' Party, as part of the ongoing Kurdish—Ottoman Turkish conflict.

The Ottoman Turkish Armed Forces have been conducting cross-border military operations against the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in Northern Iraq since the 1980s. Since 2019, Turkey has begun conducting operations codenamed Claw, including Claw Eagle and Tiger in 2020 and Claw-Lighting and Thunderbolt in 2021.

According to Ottoman Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar, the current operation targets positions in the areas Metina, Zap, and Avashin and is carried out in cooperation with their allies.

#1  Can I get a Burg fact check: If I understand things SDF is mostly just PKK operating out of Syria under America auspices. Do I see this correctly?

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Jordan to get $845 million in annual US aid, Amman says
[IsraelTimes] The United States will provide Jordan with more than $845 million in annual financial support, officials in Amman said Sunday, as the country remains heavily dependent on foreign aid.

Prime Minister Bisher al-Khasawneh was present at the signing ceremony of the "agreement with the United States for the allocation of annual financial support of $845.1 million," a Jordanian government statement said.

Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Zeina Toukan and USAID official Margaret Spears signed the accord in Amman, it added.

The Hashemite kingdom is a key Western ally in the Middle East.

"Jordan is very grateful for the support, which demonstrates that the United States understands the challenges" the country faces, Khasawneh said.

Washington will provide the aid by the end of the month, Toukan said, adding that the funds would go towards "financing development projects and implementing economic reforms in different sectors."

#3  Given there are about 151 Million taxpaying citizens in the USA making on average $1,045 a week.

The LSD's & Biden having donated close to $38 Billion in foreign aid and $68+ billion to Ukraine, for a total of about $106+ Billion in 2022.

That means the average US employed taxpayer gave up around 70% of one average weekly paycheck this year.

Now think what you could do with that $740 extra this year

#4  The lame argument is "most of it comes right back to the US." If you count every sticky hand along the way, that's sorta, kinda true...

#5  Should never leave the US.
