On Tuesday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) announced that a new batch of 150 Syrian mercenaries have arrived in Libya.
According to the Observatory’s sources, most of these fighters belong to the ‘Mohamed Al-Fateh Brigade.’ It added that the mercenaries had reportedly paid their commanders, to travel to Libya.
SOHR called for the withdrawal of all Syrians, “who have turned into tools in the hands of the Turkish government” and for their immediate return to Syria.
It also demanded an end to the use of Syrians as mercenaries by Turkey and Russia, explaining that there are Syrian fighters alongside the Russian Wagner mercenaries.
On Saturday, the SOHR reported that Turkey had sent a new batch of Syrian mercenaries to Libya. This comes despite local and international demands to withdraw all foreign forces from the North-African country.
SOHR added that about 250 fighters from the Al-Majd Corps, Sultan Murad, and Al-Hamza Divisions, arrived in Tripoli on Friday.
This batch was sent to replace 250 Syrians, who had returned to Syria. The fighters reportedly paid their leaders $250 dollars, to be allowed to travel to Tripoli.
An estimated 7,000 Syrian fighters are believed to remain in Libya, according to the SOHR. However, the October 2020 ceasefire agreement between Libya’s warring parties demanded that all foreign mercenaries be withdrawn within three months of its signing.
[AlAhram] Another reconciliation meeting between Fatah and Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,, this time in Algeria, has no hope of success, writes Mohammed Abu Shaar from Gazoo.
The gap between Fatah and Hamas is growing, which complicates any mediation attempts to bridge their differences.
In mid-January, Algerian officials met with representatives of Paleostinian factions separately, to pave the way to a comprehensive dialogue on Paleostinian reconciliation and ending the division between Fatah and Hamas, which has controlled the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... since 2007.

[KavkazUzel] The investigation believes that a 42-year-old resident of the Suleiman-Stalsky district of Dagestan financed terrorist activities in Syria, having received money from his brother.
According to investigators, in 2016, a native of Dagestan was in Syria and took part in the activities of an international terrorist organization banned in Russia.
The suspect "... in order to collect and provide funds for the preparation or commission of crimes of a terrorist nature and an extremist nature, organized the financing of terrorism by raising funds, misleading his brother about his true intentions," according to today's message on the website of the Investigative Committee of Russia across Dagestan.
A criminal case against a 42-year-old resident of the Suleiman-Stalsky district was initiated under Part 1 of Article 205.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on organizing the financing of terrorism, the department informed.
Part 1 of Article 205.1 of the Criminal Code of Russia provides for up to 15 years in prison.
There were no comments from the suspect or his official representatives regarding the version of the investigation.

[KavkazUzel] The Military Court of Appeal upheld the sentence of Artur Chemkov, a resident of Kabardino-Balkaria, sentenced to 11 years for aiding a member of the Islamic State terrorist organization banned in Russia by a court.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Artur Chemkov, a 36-year-old native of Baksan, was accused of aiding a member of a terrorist organization.
According to investigators, in March 2019, Chemkov brought a member of the IS terrorist organization to the territory of a horticultural society located in Kabardino-Balkaria, where they set up a cache in the basement of one of the unfinished buildings, in which he hid ammunition and explosive devices.
The military court in Rostov-on-Don in August 2021 found Artur Chemkov guilty and sentenced him to 11 years in a strict regime colony, Chemkov himself pleaded not guilty, a spokesman for the court said.
Artur Chemkov's defense appealed the verdict, but the Military Court of Appeal in the Moscow Region found him guilty and left the verdict of the Southern District Military Court unchanged. The verdict has already entered into force, RIA Kabardino-Balkaria reported today.
A complaint against the verdict against Artur Chemkov was submitted to the court on November 15, 2021, according to the filing cabinet on the website of the Military Court of Appeal.
The "Caucasian Knot" has no comments from Artur Chemkov's representatives regarding the decision of the Court of Appeal.
[IsraelTimes] Belarus’ authoritarian president says he has no intention of sending troops to Syria to serve alongside Russian forces in the country, but is holding the door open for a potential deployment of military medics there.
President Alexander Lukashenko’s comment followed the publication of a draft agreement between Russia and Belarus that envisages the deployment of up to 200 Belarusian military personnel to Syria.
"I haven’t sent anyone there," Lukashenko says, adding that Syria had asked for humanitarian assistance and he discussed sending military medics there at some point.
"If they need doctors, we will offer help," he says. "But not now — we have plenty of our own problems now and the pandemic isn’t over."
Lukashenko notes that Belarusian and Russian authorities had discussed logistics to accommodate the Belarusian personnel if they are sent to Syria.
Some observers see Lukashenko’s backpedaling on the announced deployment as part of his bargaining with Moscow for bigger financial assistance.
"Lukashenko again engages in a familiar haggling pattern, demanding pay for every step in support of the Kremlin," said independent analyst Valery Karbalevich.
[Breitbart] During an interview aired on Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s "At This Hour," DEA Administrator Anne Milgram said that China "knows" chemicals from its country are being shipped to Latin America and used to make fentanyl and that "China needs to do more" to stop this. Someone please tell me, where do they find feckless, naive, young twits such as this Milgram person ?
Host Kate Bolduan asked, "You’ve called fentanyl one of the most deadly substances on the planet. And we talk about what it is doing, how it is getting here, and why it is such a problem. There are two places: China and Mexico. On China, the chemicals for these poisons come from China. Why isn’t China stopping it?"
Milgram answered, "So, that’s the right question to ask, and China needs to do more, there is no question. Right now, China has a largely unregulated chemical industry and those chemicals are being shipped on a daily basis to Mexico and to other countries in Latin America where they’re being brought to Mexico. So, the first question is exactly the right question. We know this is happening. China knows it’s happening and it has to be stopped, and it’s a critical point. Because, as I said, if those chemicals can’t get to Mexico, the criminal drug cartels in Mexico won’t be able to make fentanyl and meth. And so, it is a critical upstream part of our work."

Well IF the US commercial world was within the US borders itself and the basic citizen needed items and supplies were made here We might have a say.
But due to DC's 100,000+ reg's and taxes, our commercial industry has found China, a Communist controlled county, easier to deal with to make a profit.

This is the one where Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT) tied up 200 intelligence officers following Palestinians and Syrians on the assumption that they were Mossad agents, a charge Mossad denied. But government mouthpiece Sabah headlined Turkey’s intelligence triumph, so the poor shmoes are being charged, jailed, and tried anyway.
[IsraelTimes] Pro-government paper says initial hearings to last four days; suspects charged with ’political and military’ espionage on behalf of Israel
Sixteen people went on trial in Istanbul on Tuesday, charged with "political and military" espionage on behalf of Israel, Ottoman Turkish media reports said.
The defendants, including Paleostinians and Syrians, were arrested in October in an operation by The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire... ’s national intelligence agency, MIT, according to the pro-government Sabah newspaper and other Ottoman Turkish media. They face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
The suspects allegedly spied on Paleostinian and Ottoman Turkish students and other people on behalf of Israel, operating in five separate groups, Sabah newspaper reported. Some of the suspects allegedly met with Israeli officials in Switzerland ...home of the Helvetians, famous for cheese, watches, yodeling, and William Tell... , Croatia, Romania and Kenya.
Ottoman Turkish intelligence officers reportedly monitored the group for a year before they were arrested.
Ottoman Turkish officials have not commented on the arrests.
Sabah said the initial hearings in the trial would last four days.
Following the arrests in October, the former deputy chief of the Mossad denied those arrested were Israeli spies. Ottoman Turkish media later published photos of the alleged agents.
The reports of the trial came amid signs of warming ties between Israel and Turkey after years of strained relations, and days after the presidents of the two countries spoke about a possible meeting.
[JPost] Who would want to target HIM?
US Secret Service agents rushed second gentleman Douglas Emhoff to safety on Tuesday, while students and administrators evacuated after a bomb threat was reported at a Washington, DC, school celebrating a Black History Month event, Emhoff's aides and school authorities said. Since neither of them is actually black...
Emhoff, the husband of US Vice President Kamala Harris, was at Dunbar High School in the US capital for an event commemorating Black History Month. Students and teachers at the school also evacuated the building.
Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.
I read this as follows:
If Biden is removed by the 25th, Kamala becomes Acting POTUS and so Congress would vote on the new VP. Nancy would become the new VP only by majority vote of both houses, so she'd carry the House, but I'm not sure about the Senate.
If the Senate voted her in, she'd be the new VP. If the Senate voted her down, she would not be the new VP.
On the other hand, if the Senate vote was tied, there would be no one to break the tie, so I'd say Nancy would not be the new VP.
The 25th doesn't say who is the "Acting VP" during the time where the VP is the Acting President, so an interpretation would be required. It could be interpreted that Kamala would be the VP for purposes of breaking a tie in the Senate while she is the Acting President, but I think that would be stretching things a bit too much.

JA, I believe the Senate elects an acting Senate president until a new VP is confirmed. In a 50-50 split, my guess in no Senate president and therefore no tiebreaker.
It’s not about modesty when all the students are girls, but about politics. None of the One India articles on the subject in recent days made that as clear as this one.
[AlAhram] When the students were barred last month from entering their classrooms and told not to wear hijab, a headscarf used by Moslem women, they began camping outside the all-girls high school.
The story cascaded across the internet, drawing news crews to the front of the government-run school in Udupi district, in the southern Indian state of Karnataka.
Battle lines were swiftly drawn. The students began protesting outside the school gate and sat huddled in a group, reading their lessons. The school staff, which said the students were defying uniform rules, remained unmoved.

[IsraelTimes] Spokesperson says PA leader the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase.... is keeping up ’the battle over the pensions of the prisoners and deaders’
The Paleostinian Authority has continued to defend its controversial policy of paying stipends for Paleostinians imprisoned, maimed, or killed by Israel, including those convicted of terror attacks, despite international criticism.
"The president is continuing the battle over the pensions of the prisoners and deaders. They will receive their daily bread," PA presidential spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeinah was quoted as saying by official PA television in late January.
Ramallah paid out around NIS 600 million ($187 million) in salaries for Paleostinians imprisoned, tossed in the slammer Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! , or killed by Israel in 2020, according to a senior Paleostine Liberation Organization official.
The practice of paying allowances to those convicted of carrying out terror attacks and to the families of those killed while carrying out attacks — often referred to by some Israeli officials as a pay-to-slay policy — has been pilloried by critics as incentivizing terror.
Paleostinian leaders have long defended the payments, describing them as a form of social welfare and necessary compensation for victims of Israel’s military justice system in the West Bank.
"Why should we have to clarify and justify providing assistance to families of prisoners and deaders, who are the victims of the occupation and its oppressive policies? We cannot abandon our people and we will continue striving to free all our prisoners," PA President Mahmoud Abbas said in a speech to the UN General Assembly in September.
The United States has pressured Ramallah to end the policy in recent years. In 2018, Congress passed legislation banning the US government from sending aid to the PA until it ended the practice. The matter remains a key bone of contention between the two sides.
During a November visit, US diplomat Linda Thomas-Greenfield told Abbas to avoid "payments to individuals imprisoned for terrorism," according to a US readout.
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – Relations Office of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) issued a statement on Tuesday denouncing information released in the “irresponsible statements” of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) representative in Syria Mr. Bo Viktor Nylund to the New York Times newspaper on the conditions of the teenagers with link to the Islamic State Organization (ISIS).
On February 6, The UNICEF team headed by Mr. Bo Viktor Nylund, UNICEF representative in Syria and Natasha Stojkovska, director of Qamishli-based UNICEF Office, visited the children (Cubs of Caliphate) who survived the prison break in Syria’s northeastern city of Hasakah and checked the special child wings inside the prison and their situation.
The SDF denounced the report made by UNICEF’s representative because of “the inaccuracies and unfair information it contains and contradicts the facts and as well as the official statement of the UNICEF itself, it is a huge contradiction and unprofessional.”
The representative’s statement is a “distortion of facts, distortion of the image of our forces, and denial of the tremendous efforts that have been made to preserve the lives of adolescents and to meet their basic needs,” the SDF statement said.
The SDF statement provided several facts that clarify the truth and conditions that those adolescents are witnessing.
First, when Mr. Nylund visited the teenagers they were not held in the old detention center, but rather they were in another center because the old center (al-Sina’a prison) became out of service due to the military operations between SDF and ISIS.
“Most countries with nationals among these teenagers and the international organizations, including UNICEF, are aware of all the details related to the process of transporting teenagers due to the ISIS attack on the prison,” the SDF statement read.
Second, the photo that UNICEF took and provided to the New York Times shows a temporary wing where teenagers have been held because the essential wings were under construction during the UNICEF’s visit.
Third, The SDF said that the teenagers are receiving good care in terms of food, clean water and medicine.
Fourth, All NGOs and local organizations have had access to the prison since 2020 until the date of the ISIS attack on January 20.
The visits to the prison will resume as soon as security conditions are settled and the ISIS threats stop, according to SDF statement.
SDF stressed that solving the issue of those teenagers “shouldn’t be done by falsifying facts or distorting the efforts of the Syrian Democratic Forces.”
It is worth to mention that the SDF briefed, during the visit, to the UNICEF team the de facto situation of the Cubs of the Caliphate inside the detention center.

[RIA Novosti] The United States and Great Britain continue the "amnesty" of terrorists in Syria, Rear Admiral Oleg Zhuravlev, deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties, said.
"Hundreds of followers of radical movements have been released from places of detention and accepted into the ranks of US -controlled armed groups. Some of them, according to reports, have been transferred to the territory of the al-Tanf zone," he said at a briefing.
At the same time, according to him, the situation in the areas beyond the Euphrates controlled by the pro-American authorities remains critical.
"In the last three days alone, ten terrorist acts and sabotage have been committed in the region, as a result of which 18 people were killed and 25 people were injured," Zhuravlev stressed.
He added that the leaders of the bandit underground are planning acts of sabotage against government officials and facilities in the provinces of Homs, Damascus, Daraa and Es-Suwayda.
Since 2014, the United States and its allies have been conducting a military operation against IS, and they are operating in Syria without the permission of the authorities. Although Washington already has announced victory over the terrorists several times, the attacks of militants continue. In addition, anti-government pro-Turkish groups operate in the north of the country.
Usually the things they display in parades are vapour ware, but on occasion they might be the next stage for transporting the nuclear bombs they’re developing on a parallel track.
