[ToloNews] A report by the BBC shows that Taliban ...Arabic for students... annually earns more than $1.5 billion from drug dealing, illegal mining, collecting electricity bills and financial support from a number of countries.
The report said that this year Taliban’s financial resources and the money they get from these resources have increased against previous years.
According to the report, from 2015 onwards, it was mostly estimated that Taliban yearly were earning around $400 million.
"This war is a war from outside. Today, you know, that the bandidosDeath Eaters are supported from many sources such as drugs, drug smugglings, access to customs and support from different countries," said Dadullah Qane, deputy head of the National United Party of Afghanistan.
The report says Taliban yearly earns from $100 million to $400 million from drugs and taxes; $50 million from mines extractions and $500 million from Iran, Pakistain, Russia and gulf countries which are the biggest supporters of Taliban.
A number of military affairs analysts said the intelligence and investigative departments have failed to detect the income sources of the Taliban and prevent the group from receiving the money.
"If this is correct, then it means that fighting the Taliban will become difficult for the countries," said Hussain Talash, a political affairs analyst.
"Our intelligence and investigative departments are very weak. They cannot detect the weaponry and financial resources of the Taliban," said Miagul Khalid, a military affairs analyst.
Taliban has rejected details of the report about their incomes.

[KhaamaPress] The government of Iran is funding the construction of a faculty in Kabul University dedicated mainly to the studies of ’Persian Language’, it has been reported.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed in this regarding between Cultural attaché at the Iranian embassy in Kabul Mohammadreza Maleki and the Chancellor of Kabul University and Adviser Minister to President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani ...former chancellor of Kabul University, now president of Afghanistan.

I've been trying to see what/if the differences between Afghan Persian / Dari and Iranian Persian / Farsi are, if any. Rumi d. 1273 in Turkey wrote in Dari but most historians confuse this with Farsi. Some of the meanings in his writings are confused by translators who use Farsi. Pronunciations can be quite different.
An example of the confusion:
Dari plays an important role in Afghan society. It is one of the national languages of the country and is used by roughly 50% of the population. In addition, it represents the primary means of communication between speakers of different languages in Afghanistan. Dari is currently taught in Afghani schools, heard on national radio, and has enjoyed a long and prestigious literary tradition. The current status of Dari in countries where it does not enjoy national status, on the other hand, is less stable. In Iran, for instance, Dari is neither written nor taught in schools and is considered an endangered language. Iranians are gradually giving up Dari to speak/learn Persian, the official language of Iran.
source
The U. of Nebraska before 9/11 offered courses in Dari. To the best of my knowledge, there are no courses in Dari available to the general public taught in the USA at this time.
#2
No doubt the Iranians consider Dari to be the equvalent of a hillbilly dialect, Anguper Hupomosing9418, just as the Dutch view Flemish, the French view the various dialects of the Walloons, the Swiss-French, and Montreal, and the Germans all their regional dialects, Yoddish, and the lovely but barbarous effusions of Switzerland and Austria.
#4
Dari Pashtun and Farsi are all closely related from the same (Persian) roots.
Like Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish from the same germanic roots.
And Iran's money will be funneled through contracts with someone administrator's "uncle" or "cousin", so everyone gets a cut of the action, just like all outside money anyplace in Hajiville, Ashcanistan.

[RADIOSHABELLE] The African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... Peace and Security Council have now approved a new plan of operations in Somalia that will enable peacekeepers to start liberating regions that are still held by Al-Shabaab ... an Islamic infestation centering on Somalia... Known as the Concept of Operations (ConOps), the blueprint will enable the African Union Mission in Somalia (Amisom) to start with Middle Jubba region to flush out al-Shabaab remnants at the beginning of 2019.
The operations will be carried out jointly with the Jubbaland State Forces and the Somali National Army. The ConOps was approved by the Council on November 30 and will guide Amisom operations until 2021.
Middle Jubba, which borders Gedo, Bay, Lower Shabelle and the Indian Ocean ‐ is the only region entirely controlled by Al-Shabaab, which has been driven out of most parts of the country.
According to Amisom spokesperson Col Richard Omwega, ConOps is part of the implementation of the Somalia Transition Plan, which involves reconfiguring the forces into new sectors in preparation for a conditional handover of security responsibility to Somalia security forces.
"Opening and securing of main supply routes in the country in a priority. It also addresses the capacity building of Somali citizens and stabilization programmes to enhance and sustain peace and security as the country readies for a general election in 2020," said Col Omwega.
The document will have to be approved by the AU and senior defense officials of troop-contributing countries ‐ Kenya, Burundi, Uganda, Æthiopia, and Djibouti ‐ before it is operationalized.

[PRESSTV] A high-ranking member of the Yemeni Houthi ...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 Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. 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 ... Ansarullah movement has accused the United Arab Emirates (UAE) of attempts to scupper agreements recently reached between warring sides during the latest round of UN-sponsored peace negotiations in Sweden.
Addressing representatives of various Yemeni political parties in the capital Sana’a on Sunday evening, Secretary-General of Ansarullah political bureau, Fadhel Abutaleb said the Abu Dhabi regime is trying to torpedo the accords by means of its mercenaries, mainly Tareq Mohammed Abdullah Saleh ‐ a Yemeni military commander and the nephew of the late Yemeni president former President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh ... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower, but he didn't invite Donna Summer to the inauguration and Blondie couldn't make it... He described the agreements reached during peace talks as a victory for the Yemeni people, stressing that the triumph was scored through the steadfastness of people from all walks of society over the countries involved in the ongoing military aggression on Yemen.

[DW] They do not believe in God and want a life free from religious restrictions: They are atheist asylum-seekers. Not only are they threatened and sometimes killed in their homeland ‐ even in Germany they face danger because of their renunciation of the Islamic faith.
Atheists are still a minority around the world. According to the Global Index of Religion and Atheism, a Gallup survey conducted in 2012, 13 percent of the world's population identifies as atheist. 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... and the United States, that figure is 5 percent, in Germany 15 percent and in China 47 percent.
The plight of atheist asylum-seekers gets little attention in German refugee policy. According to a statement by the country's Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF), "Origin from a particular country or a particular reason for fleeing, such as religious affiliation or atheism, does not automatically lead to a protection status."
Atheist Refugee Relief's Dittmar Steiner is convinced this will change. "The number of people affected is increasing," he says. "A year ago it was two to three requests a week ‐ now it is between seven and nine a day."

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Chief of Staff for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), Gadi Eizenkot, said on Sunday that Israel would continue their operations against Hezbollah and Iran inside Syria, I24News reported.
Referring to the U.S. withdrawal from Syria, Eizenkot said that this will not have much of an affect on their operations, adding that this has been blown out of proportionate.
Eizenkot said that much of the Israeli campaign against Iran and Hezbollah has been quietly carried out by their forces.
"The [Israeli] campaign against Iran and Hezbollah is largely hidden from the public eye," he said.
"Israel is operating and will continue to operate against Iranian entrenchment in Syria," the outgoing Israeli army head said. "Iran’s efforts to establish a military infrastructure in Syria have been the IDF’s top concern for the past four years."
"Iran’s vision was to build a force of about 100,000 fighters with integrated land, sea, and intelligence capabilities and to build a line of outposts in the Golan Heights," Eizenkot said. Israel "has worked continuously and has thwarted Iran’s efforts, in an entirely independent Israeli operation against a whole gamut of actors."

[ALMASDARNEWS] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Ottoman Turkish President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey... an ’anti-Semitic dictator’ in Tel Aviv on Sunday, as the two leaders’ verbal spat continued.
"I was just exposed to the daily trolling of the anti-Semitic dictator [Ottoman Turkish President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan. He has an obsession with Israel. He knows what a moral army is and he knows what true democracy is, as opposed to an army that slaughters women and kiddies in Kurdish villages," the Israeli leader said.
Netanyahu went on to say that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire.... is turning into a dictatorship "from day to day," and quipped "but there is also improvement ‐ Erdogan used to attack me every two hours and now it’s every six hours."
The heated exchanges reportedly started on Saturday, when Erdogan levelled attacks at Israel while speaking at a youth conference in Ankara, saying Jews not only kicked men but also women and kiddies.
Ottoman Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu and Erdogan’s spokesperson Ibrahim Kalin had also backed the Ottoman Turkish leaders’ statements in tweets posted early Saturday, which prompted Netanyahu to respond.

Does Erdogan really think being called an anti-Semite is an insult?
[PRESSTV] Paleostinian Authority chief the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... is resorting to the oddest tactics, accusing Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, of being directly funded by the Israeli premier after dissolving the Paleostinian parliament.
In a speech in Ramallah Saturday, Abbas claimed that PM Benjamin Netanyahu was providing Hamas with the money with which it funded attacks against Israelis.
"Netanyahu personally takes money and gives it to Hamas. What does that mean? [Hamas] sends weapons, equipment and funds here," Abbas claimed.
Israel has blamed Hamas for a recent increase in the West Bank attacks during which three Israelis, including two soldiers, were rubbed out.
The attacks have reinforced the patriotic image of Hamas in the West Bank which is controlled by the Paleostinian Authority.
A public opinion poll released on Tuesday showed that Abbas would lose to Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh ...became Prime Minister after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank... if elections were held today.
The poll conducted by prominent pollster Khalil Shikaki showed that Haniyeh would win with 49 percent to Abbas’ 42 percent.
Abbas's term was meant to expire in 2009, but he has remained in office in the absence of elections.
Shikaki linked the results to what is perceived as a Hamas win in its latest confrontation with Israel and frustration with Abbas’s government.
The survey found that the majority of Paleostinians (53 percent) have negative views about the Paleostinian Authority and that 43 percent of them hold Abbas responsible for the deteriorating conditions in the Gazoo Strip.
Abbas has sought to pressure Hamas in recent months by reducing salaries in the Gazoo Strip, which is under an Israeli blockade, among other moves.
His administration has opposed recent arrangements that have seen Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... provide millions of euros in aid for salaries and fuel in the Gazoo Strip, bypassing the Paleostinian Authority.
Abbas is apparently left seething. On Saturday, Abbas announced his intention to dissolve the Paleostinian parliament which is controlled by Hamas following a landslide victory in 2006.

[PRESSTV] A bigwig of the Islamic resistance movement, Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",, says Paleostinians will continue the Great March of Return rallies until the end of the Israeli siege on the Gazoo Strip.
Mahmoud al-Zahar "'Ol Warty Nose"
a co-founder of Hamas and a member of its leadership in the Gazoo Strip, made the remarks in a Sunday interview with Iran’s al-Alam News Network in Tehran.
He said the anti-occupation rallies, known as the "Great March of Return," have produced important results, and will not be stopped before the Israeli regime’s siege on the enclave is lifted.
Tensions have been running high near the fence separating Gazoo from the occupied territories since March 30, which marked the start of the protests.
Paleostinian protesters demand the right to return for those driven out of their homeland.
The festivities in Gazoo reached their peak on May 14, the eve of the 70th anniversary of Nakba Day, or the Day of Catastrophe, which coincided this year with Washington's relocation of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to occupied Jerusalem al-Quds.
More than 220 Paleostinians have so far been killed and over 20,000 others maimed in the renewed Gazoofestivities, according to the latest figures released by the Gazoo Health Ministry.
Gazoo has been under Israeli siege since June 2007, causing a decline in living standards as well as unprecedented unemployment and poverty.

[PRESSTV] Israeli forces on Sunday placed in durance vile Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! Paleostinian Agriculture Minister Sufian Sultan, as he was heading to the city of al-Khalil (Hebron) from Ramallah, the center of the occupied West Bank.
The Israeli regime’s forces stopped the minister’s car and forced him out of it at gunpoint while deliberately assaulting him, before proceeding to thoroughly search his vehicle. Forces also seized the car’s alarm system, the ministry of agriculture said in a statement.
The ministry condemned Israel’s move against the minister, noting that such a measure violates the international humanitarian law and is part of Israel’s escalated attacks against the Paleostinian people.
Various Paleostinian cities and towns in the West Bank, especially Ramallah, al-Bireh, and Jerusalem al-Quds have been scene to festivities between Paleostinian people and Zionist military forces.

[The Hill] President Trump said Monday that Saudi Arabia, rather than the U.S., will "spend the necessary money" to help rebuild Syria.
Trump, who made the comment in a tweet, added that it's "nice when immensely wealthy countries help rebuild their neighbors" instead of the U.S.
"Saudi Arabia has now agreed to spend the necessary money needed to help rebuild Syria, instead of the United States. See? Isn’t it nice when immensely wealthy countries help rebuild their neighbors rather than a Great Country, the U.S., that is 5000 miles away," he tweeted. "Thanks to Saudi A!"

I think a "gentleman's" agreement has been reached. SA will take care of the Islamic ME, but if Iran so much as seriously threaten you, its dust. I think its one both parties can work with.

I think SA realizes that if it wasn't for Trump right now, they'd be twisting in the wind over the Kashogghi thing, and they need to be directly in control of their own local arrangements going forward, as there will eventually be an SJW president who will betray them in a heartbeat.

Saudi boys doing the dying while fighting with newly bought American hardware.
N’DJAMENA (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron said on Sunday he deeply regretted U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria.
In an abrupt policy shift, Trump announced on Wednesday that Washington would withdraw the roughly 2,000 U.S. troops in Syria, upending a pillar of American policy in the Middle East and alarming U.S. allies.
"I very deeply regret the decision made on Syria," Macron said during a news conference in Chad.
"To be allies is to fight shoulder to shoulder. It’s the most important thing for a head of state and head of the military," he said. "An ally should be dependable."
Macron stressed the importance of the work of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, which has captured large parts of northern and eastern Syria from Islamic State.
"I call on everyone ... not to forget what we owe them," he said.
U.S. officials justified the decision by saying Islamic State had been defeated.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) is planning to block The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...Qatar's colony in Asia Minor.... ’s attempt to expand deep into the Euphrates River Valley, a military source told al-Masdar News this afternoon.
According to the source in Damascus, the Syrian government is currently negotiating with the Syrian Democratic Council in order to potentially install military checkpoints inside their areas in northern and eastern Syria.
The source said that should the Syrian Democratic Council refuse and the Ottoman Turkish military pushes to the Deir Ezzor provincial border, they will make every attempt to block their path to this Syrian governorate near the Iraqi border.
Turkey has already made it clear that they are going to target all the areas controlled by the Kurdish-led People’s Protection Units (YPG) and Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Syria, despite the Syrian government’s disapproval.
With the U.S. planning to leave Syria in the next three months, Turkey is planning to rid the Syrian border of all groups allied with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).
The Ottoman Turkish military also has a similar operation planned in northern Iraq; however, this offensive has not been approved by the Iraqi government.
