[KhaamaPress] Sources close to the First Vice President General 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... have said that he will return from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund.... to Kabul on Sunday.
The Chief of Staff of the Office of the First Vice President Enayatullah Babur Farahman confirmed that Gen. Dostum will return based on an agreement reached following days of negotiations.
He said the negotiations between the First Vice President and the government representatives have concluded.
This comes as President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani ...former chancellor of Kabul University, now president of Afghanistan. Before returning to Afghanistan in 2002 he was a scholar of political science and anthropology. He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money. .. on Sunday said that Gen. Dostum will likely return from Turkey in the near future.
However, there's more than one way to stuff a chicken... he said the First Vice President of the country has legal cases and expressed hopes that the judicial institutions would take proper decisions in this regard.
Gen. Dostum left for Turkey over a year ago amid heightened tensions and controversies surrounding the kidnapping and sexual abuse of the former Jawzjan governor Ahmad Ishchi.
[Al Jazeera] Ethiopia's parliament has passed an amnesty for thousands of political prisoners, thousands of whom have been freed in recent months.
Since assuming office in April, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has introduced a series of unprecedented reforms and has overseen the release of jailed dissidents.
Thousands of prisoners, including several senior opposition leaders accused of charges such as incitement to topple the government, have overall been pardoned since January - even before Abiy's election by the ruling Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) coalition.

[AnNahar] Libya's prime minister said Friday he would not allow the EU to set up asylum processing centres in his country, in a new setback for European leaders seeking to curb new migrant arrivals.
"We are strictly against Europe ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum... officially placing illegal migrants colonists who are no longer wanted in the EU in our country," Fayez al-Sarraj said in an interview with German daily Bild.
"We also won't agree on any deals with EU money about taking in more illegal migrants colonists," he vowed, adding that European leaders should instead put pressure on migrants colonists' origin countries to stop them embarking on their journey in the first place.
During a fractious summit in June, EU leaders agreed to set up "disembarkation platforms" outside the bloc to process migrants colonists.
Such centres would operate in cooperation with the UN refugee agency and the International Organisation for Migration.
But no country has so far offered to host a reception centre, where authorities would distinguish between irregular migrants colonists and asylum seekers admissible into the EU.
Morocco has already given a flat no to the plan, while Tunisia previously rejected it.
Albania has also ruled itself out with Prime Minister Edi Rama saying that such centres mean "dumping desperate people somewhere like toxic waste that no one wants".
Meanwhile, ...back at the wreckage, Captain Poindexter awoke groggily, his hand still stuck in the Ming vase... Sarraj also threw out claims from Spanish rescue group Proactiva Open Arms that the Libyan coastguard saved other migrants colonists on board a dinghy but not two women and a little boy.
The child and one of the women were found dead when Spanish rescuers arrived, but the other woman has been saved.
"These are outrageous accusations, and they are not true. Our coastguards have already clarified this," said Sarraj, who heads the UN-backed unity government in Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... "Every day, we save hundreds of people on the coast of Libya. Our ships are active non-stop," he said, stressing that Tripoli needs more technical and financial aid to improve its rescue missions.
Under a controversial deal with the EU, Libyan coastguards intercept migrants colonists trying to cross the Mediterranean. But the UN has slammed the policy as "inhuman", noting that the migrants colonists are simply brought back to "horrific" detention centres in Libya.
[IsraelTimes] European Commission also refers Hungary to courts for defying asylum law; Orban's party says move 'confirms Brussels favors migration and protecting the Soros organizations'.
The European Commission, the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... ’s legal institution, on Thursday sent a formal letter of notice to Hungary, the first step of an infringement procedure, over the government’s "Stop Soros" law.
The law, named after Jewish Hungarian-American billionaire and philanthropist George Soros ...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true... , threatens aid workers and human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... advocates working with asylum-seekers with up to a year in prison, and was approved by parliament last month along with a set of constitutional amendments.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban has objected to the organization’s calls for greater tolerance of refugees and migrants colonists. The move comes as Orban visits Israel, where he has been feted by the government, but faced protests.
Soros’ Open Society Foundations says it has spent over $400 million in Hungary since 1984, promoting "independent journalism, fighting corruption, supporting civic participation, and combating discrimination."
Orban and far-right activists have attacked Soros for well over a year, waging a campaign that has involved billboards and other advertisements. Many, including Soros himself, say the campaign is anti-Semitic.
In May the foundation announced it was closing its operations in Hungary and relocating to Germany in response to the "repressive" policies of Orban’s government.
The letter is the first stage of a process by the commission which could lead to Hungary being told to change the legislation, and came on the day the Hungarian leader visited Jerusalem’s Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial as part of his controversial trip to Israel.
Separately, Hungary has also been referred to the European Union’s highest court for perceived failings to comply with the bloc’s asylum rules, and is facing censure for legislation criminalizing the support of asylum-seekers by civic groups.
In a statement Thursday, the EU’s executive arm said it made the decision to turn to the courts ‐ the last stage of a procedure that began in December 2015 ‐ because it considered "the majority of the concerns raised have still not been addressed."
Among other points, the European Commission considers Hungary’s asylum procedures too restrictive, with reception conditions for asylum-seekers also breaching EU rules.
Relations between the EU and Hungary have been strained in part by the strict anti-migration and anti-refugee positions of Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s government.
Orban, re-elected earlier this year, has been at the forefront of keeping migrants colonists from war zones such as Syria out of Europe ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum... since the crisis became particularly acute in 2015.
The EU also objected to Hungary’s procedure of rejecting asylum-seekers, saying "it fails to ensure that return decisions are issued individually and include information on legal remedies."
As a result, it said migrants colonists "risk being returned without the appropriate safeguards and in breach of the non-refoulement principle," which forbids the return of asylum-seekers to places where they could be at risk of persecution.
Orban’s Fidesz party has rejected the EU infringement procedure, saying it "confirms that Brussels favors migration and protecting the Soros organizations."
In a statement, the party said Hungary’s anti-migration laws "evidently bother all those who want to flood Europe with migrants colonists." It said it considered the current procedure as a "new political pressure on our homeland and proves that Soros has his people in the commission in Brussels."
Amnesia Amnesty International called the EU decision "a clear and unambiguous message that Hungary’s xenophobic policies will not be tolerated."
Hungary built fences on its southern borders to divert the flow of migrants colonists in late 2015 and Orban has said repeatedly that the influx into Europe of mostly Moslemmigrants colonists must be stopped or the continent’s Christian values, lifestyle, and culture will be lost.
The United Nations ...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly... , the Council of Europe, and other international bodies also have been highly critical of Hungary’s anti-migration rules, comments which Orban’s government usually dismisses as biased and unfounded.
Contrast with Israel's response to the Hungarian prime minister, from a few days ago:
[IsraelTimes] Ministry touts visit as promoting bilateral ties, hails prime minister for combating anti-Semitism despite criticism over his praise for Nazi-era leader and anti-Soros campaign.
[Al Jazeera] Sweden's far-right party has gained support in the polls as it pushes an agenda focused on refugees and migrants colonists.
The Sweden Democrats polled at a record high 20 percent in May, according to an Ispos poll in daily Dagens Nyheter, placing their chances at becoming kingmakers in the September 9 elections within the realm of possibility.
While they have long been shunned by other political parties, analysts and observers worry that they are increasingly setting the parameters of public discourse in the country.
In addition to calling for a referendum on European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... membership, the Sweden Democrats have demanded a freeze on migration and a crackdown on crime.
In its official platform, the party says its anti-migrant policies are driven by "love and confidence in our country".
"If we are the second biggest or biggest party in parliament and the other parties still believe we can be ignored, and pretend we don't exist, then we must flex our muscles," party leader Jimmie Akesson told Rooters in an interview.

"Thou shalt not allow a member of the Master Religion to be tried by unbelievers."
[Rudaw] A judge in southern The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... has rejected a request to extradite Australia's notorious Neil Prakash, a self-confessed ISIS member, just two months after Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said he was expected to be extradited to face trial on home soil "within months."
Judge Ismail Deniz at the Kilis court rejected the prosecutor's request to extradite Prakash in a court ruling Thursday night, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) reported on Friday.
Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said that the government was disappointed in the court ruling but would consider appealing the decision later this year.
"We will also continue to follow the case related to Prakash's ISIS activities when the court reconvenes in September," Bishop said.
The Melbourne native has arrest warrants out in his home country for "membership of a terrorist organization", "advocating terrorism", "providing support to a terrorist organization" and "incursions into foreign countries with the intention of engaging in hostile activities."
Prakesh, 27, is believed to have traveled to Syria to fight with ISIS in 2013, where he was known as Abu Khaled al-Cambodi.
Senior Australian counter-terrorism officials stated he played a pivotal role in encouraging several terror plots in Australia as well as lone-wolf attack plans against the United States which landed him on a US "kill list."
He has also appeared in several ISIS propaganda videos and the FBI alleges he was plotting an attack on the Statue of Liberty in New York.
Prakesh was caught trying to cross the border into Turkey from Syria in October 2016 using false identity papers and has been held in a maximum-security jail in Gaziantep, southern Turkey since then.
Prime Minister Turnbull stated the Australian government was determined to keep Prakesh "behind bars" whether it be in Turkey or Australia.
"Our goal is to ensure that Neil Prakash is never able to practice his evil trade of terrorism ever again," Turnbull said.
The US intelligence community estimates that some 40,000 imported muscle have joined ISIS in Iraq and Syria since the krazed killer organization first declared its caliphate in 2014 in djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... However, ars longa, vita brevis... it still remains unclear just how many ISIS fighters, including foreigners, have been captured and are awaiting court trials.

[DAWN] The Ahmadiya Community has dissociated itself from the upcoming general elections due to ’discriminatory treatment’.
In a press statement, a community front man said though the elections would be held under a joint electoral system, there was, however, a separate voters’ list for the Ahmadis.
"Currently there is one voters list that includes all religious groups, including Moslems, Hindus, Christians, Zoroastrians and Sikhs, whereas in the case of Ahmadis, a separate voters list is being prepared. This discriminatory treatment on the basis of religion is a deliberate attempt to disenfranchise the Ahmadis of Pakistain from the electoral process and denying them their right to vote."
He said such a behaviour went against the vision of the founding father of the country Muhammad Ali Jinnah and contravened both the Constitution and the very purpose of the joint electoral system.
"Therefore, in view of the prevailing circumstance, the Ahmadis of Pakistain will once again not be participating in the general elections."

[DAWN] Infamous former police inspector Abid Hussain, aka Abid Boxer, who has been named in several cases of murder, attempted murder and land-grabbing in Punjab, was on Friday granted bail by a sessions court in Lahore, DawnNewsTV reported.
After the Lahore High Court was informed on Monday that Boxer had been extradited to Pakistain from UAE in February, the accused, accompanied by his attorney, showed up in the court of Additional Sessions Judge Rehmat Ali.
Boxer's lawyer claimed that the cases against his client are "baseless" and that Boxer has been targeted as part of a "vindictive" campaign. He requested that the court grant Boxer interim bail ‐ a request the court agreed to.
The court granted Boxer bail till August 4 and ordered him to submit Rs100,000 as surety for each of the 10 cases against him. Following the grant of bail, the court directed the police not to arrest the accused.
Later on, Boxer, who seemed in good spirits, told media that he would "blow the lid off many secrets".

[DAWN] An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... granted bail to former Malir SSP Rao Anwar on Friday in the case against him for filing a fake first information report (FIR) against Naqeebullah Mehsud.
This is the second case in which Anwar was granted bail. Earlier, on July 10, the tainted cop had been granted bail in the case concerning the extrajudicial killing of Wazoo native Mehsud and three others in Karachi.
Anwar had filed an FIR against Mehsud and three others ‐ all killed in a staged encounter ‐ for possession of explosives and illegal weapons. A joint investigation team (JIT) had later found that the four had been falsely implicated, with the court later ruling that Mehsud had no holy warrior tendencies.
Two FIRs were then filed against Anwar ‐ one by the police and other by Mehsud's father ‐ for falsely implicating Mehsud.
The court today ordered Anwar to be released on bail, asking him to submit a surety bond worth Rs1 million.
Salahuddin Panhwar, the counsel for Mehsud's father, said that they had already informed the court that they will not be participating in the case's proceedings until the matter is pending in the Sindh High Court (SHC).

[DAWN] North Korea and Eritrea ...is run by the People's Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ), with about the amounts of democracy and justice you'd expect from a party with that name. National elections have been periodically scheduled and cancelled; none have ever been held in the country. The president, Isaias Afewerki, has been in office since independence in 1993 and will probably die there of old age... have the highest rates of enslaved people, said a global survey released on Thursday that focused on the roles of conflict and government repression in modern slavery.
The Central African nation of Burundi also has a high prevalence of slavery, according to the 2018 Global Slavery Index published by the human rights ...not to be confused with individual rights, mind you... group Walk Free Foundation (WFF).
"Each of these three countries has state-sponsored forced labour, where their government puts its own people to work for its own benefit," said Fiona David, research chair of Minderoo Foundation, which led the data collection.
More than 40 million people were enslaved around the world as of 2016, according to an estimate by the WFF and the International Labour Organisation.
India was home to the largest total number with an estimated 18.4m slaves among its population of 1.3 billion people, according to the WFF’s 2016 index.
China, Pakistain, Bangladesh and Uzbekistan rounded out the top five nations, accounting for about 58 per cent of people living in slavery globally, the WFF said at the time.
But North Korea had the highest percentage of its population enslaved, and that remains the case today.
"In North Korea, one in 10 people are in modern slavery with the clear majority forced to work by the state," according to the 2018 Global Slavery Index.

[Al Jazeera] Israel's former deputy foreign minister has said the Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbung millipede, movement is solely to blame for the recent bloodshed in the besieged Gazoo Strip, claiming that Paleostinians represent a "culture of terror" while absolving Israeli forces for the killings of more than 130 protesters, journalists and medics at the border.
Danny Ayalon told Al Jazeera's Mehdi Hasan that the killings by Israeli snipers of unarmed Paleostinians, including paramedic Razan al-Najjar and journalist Yasser Murtaja, were unfortunate but justified because "they came with harm intention".
"They [Hamas] are sending them to die. It's a culture of death," he said in an interview with Head to Head television programme to be aired on Al Jazeera at 20:00 GMT on Friday.
Since March, protesters in Gazoo have been gathering near the fence with Israel, calling for their right to return to the homes from which they or their families were expelled from in 1948. More than 13,000 have also been reported maimed by Israeli fire.

[IsraelTimes] A senior member of the Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, terror group which governs the Gazoo Strip gave an address last week in which he called to rid "Paleostine of the filth of the Jews" and vowed it would happen by 2022.
In a video of the July 12 rally, aired on al-Jazeera and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, former Hamas interior minister Fathi Hammad said: "We are looking forward to two important things which are within sight."
The first was "the cleansing of Paleostine of the filth of the Jews, and their uprooting from it," which he promised would happen imminently. "Four years, my brothers... By 2022 we will be rid of them," he said.
The second goal Hammad called for was the establishment of an Islamic caliphate "once the nation has been healed of its cancer ‐ the Jews."
Speaking a day before an IDF officer was maimed when a grenade was hurled at him by Paleostinian assailants and a 15-year-old Paleostinian was killed during festivities at the Gazoo border fence, Hammad described the weekly "March of Return" protests against Israel as peaceful, but vowed violence.
"The fact that we participate in the peaceful March of Return does not mean that we have abandoned the military path of jihad," he said. "Our finger is on the trigger and our plants are operating and working day and night. Every day we invent something new, using all our strength, our nerves, our bones and our flesh. Every day we manufacture more military power."
He claimed that Israel was "terrified" of war with Paleostinian terror groups including Hamas’s Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades and "our brothers in other factions."

[AnNahar] More than 1,000 Syrian refugees in Leb’s border towns of al-Qaa and Arsal will be repatriated to Syria under a "Hizbullah ...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... mechanism to help refugees return home, in coordination with Lebanese authorities and Damascus," media reports said on Friday.
General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim announced on Thursday during the inauguration of a new General Security premises in Baalbek, that "a new batch of displaced Syrians will be returning home in the next days."
Hizbullah official responsible for the refugees file, MP Nawwar al-Saheli, told al-Joumhouria daily: "A good number of applicants have signed in to return in nine reception centers established by Hizbullah in the South, Bekaa and Beirut.
"Many other Syrian refugees residing in the North and other Lebanese regions are inquiring about the mechanism for return," added al-Saheli.
Early in July, Hizbullah leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb... announced that the party was creating a mechanism to help Syrian refugees return home, in coordination with Lebanese authorities and Damascus.
The group has set up reception centers with phone numbers and social media accounts where refugees could sign up to return home.
"The displaced are from various Syrian regions and from various political orientations," added Saheli, indirectly referring to media reports alleging that only pro-regime refugees were permitted to return home.
He said the return is taking place in "coordination with Leb’s General Security and the competent authorities in Syria."
"As soon as the logistical procedures are complete, the first batch will move to Syria through Hizbullah within a couple of weeks," he added.
On accusations that Hizbullah is taking over the State’s role in that regard, he said: "We have uselessly waited for a long time. When the State restores its actual role, then we will be at its service."
