Since there will be a lot going on, might aswell advertise myself a little, doesn't hurt much. Starting this June, I am going to regularly write larger texts, my situation is finally improving. If you like what I write, always grateful for any support.
The Burkina Faso military summarily executed at least 223 civilians, including at least 56 children, in two villages on February 25, 2024, Human Rights Watch said today. To date one of the worst war crimes ever conducted in the country.
Such post might impress people who have no idea how China works. Such a city is a gigantic web of patronage networks, divided into mafia-like influence zones, where local CCP officials, policemen and families/clans even levy their own taxes. Be careful what you wish for.
the main honest insight from my travels in China is that the quality of life is much better than the US on a pure wellbeing, safety, physical and social infra level
Chongqing, a tier 2 city, is much more developed than all tier 1 US cities combined

It's been a decade since I got to know that woman, during the most grim times of Syrian Civil War, constantly cheering for Assad while he gassed thousands. Today she uses same videos and pictures she denied beforehand to hunt Jews.
I want her in prison and to make it a symbol.
ITS HAPPENING, ITS FUCKING HAPPENING

AUSSIE COSSACK AND SYRIA GIRL - ITS SO SO SO OVER ‼️‼️‼️‼️
Al-Qaeda reported on the massacre on February 28. Since then they have regularly provided statements later legitimised by independent investigations of outside parties. It's an achievement to make al-Qaeda the most sane actor in the conflict.
I don't want to sound doomerish but I just can't.
American withdrawal from Niger might have consequences 10 times worse that three French withdrawals from Mali, Burkina and Niger too in two years . A man looks at it with resignation. Juntas are blind, arrogant, deaf and suicidal.
It's absolutely bizzare that it feels like Islamic State's sword is above so many countries today, while in September 2023 everyone was busy claiming it's the end of GWOT and time for great powers competition. In a way it's true. But the consequences are due to get grim.

Rumours on the death of an Islamic State Greater Sahara emir Abu Houzeifa. He is supposed to have been killed earlier today in Mali army operation.
One of the commanders of the infamous Tongo-Tongo raid in 2017 in Niger, where US Green Berets were killed.

ISWAP shows a large attack on the Nigerien army positions in Lada, Diffa (near the Nigerian-Nigerien border). The quantity of attacks on Nigerien army by both West African and Greater Sahara provinces of the Islamic State keeps rising amid looming American withdrawal.
#Niger
Burkina Faso has reached the first place in Global Terrorism Index. A grim achievement, that is likely to gradually rise due to the cruelty escalating on all fronts in the country, with junta soldiers losing their humanity altogether. And it's not like ISGS and AQ are soft.

I've talked with a few friends and they say this policewoman was incredibly clear-headed, saved so much more people, confronting head-on a running at ther maniac. Admiration off the charts.
WOW, news confirmation: the female NSW Police officer was acting alone. She ran into the shopping centre by herself, confronted the terrorist, killed him. Incredible. Legitimately what a hero
Except it's bs, IS just succeeds today in the countries that clearly have something wrong with internal security, ignoring threats and refusing Western advice.
There is no shift, no pivot, no focus.
On the contrary IS wants to strike European Union the most in the deadliest way.
"The Islamic State, a longtime enemy of the US & Europe is increasingly focusing its attacks at their rivals, as evidenced by consecutive attacks on Iranian, Russian, and Chinese targets over the last 3 months" - Ma Xiaolin warns against an "eastward shift" of global terrorism.…
Just in time Islamic State has just released a photoset showcasing Da'wa activities in the territories of Mozambique under its control. A significant chunk of population, especially rural but not only in Cabo Delgado is now exposed to IS influence largely unopposed.
#Mozambique
Looking at what is happening on Cabo Delgado, seems like IS will soon have a full set ready to upload to their propaganda channels. It's absolutely grim to watch the extent of freedom to manouver they are currently having.French TotalEnergies and Maputo are completely delusional.
