Car explodes outside cafe in Somalia where visitors were watching Euro 2024
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] At least five people were killed and at least 20 more were injured as a result of an explosion in the Somali capital Mogadishu near a cafe where visitors were watching the final match of the European Football Championship. This was reported on July 14 by the Somali television and radio company Shabelle Media Network.

It is specified that the explosion was caused by a car bomb parked near the popular Top Coffee cafe, in which many people were at the time of the explosion. After the explosion, a fire broke out in the building.

"The horrific event occurred as visitors gathered to watch the long-awaited Euro 2024 football match between Spain and England," the publication notes.

Rescuers and police officers are working at the scene. According to eyewitnesses, as a result of the explosion, part of the wall collapsed in the cafe, and the blast wave blew out windows in the houses next to the building.

A police spokesman said that, according to preliminary information, the car bomb near the cafe was left by a suicide bomber.
Or a really slow bomber
Earlier, Regnum News Agency reported that the FSB prevented an armed attack by a member of a terrorist organization banned in Russia on an Orthodox church in Adygea. The terrorist was preparing an attack on a church in the city of Maykop and the murder of its clergy and guards, followed by arson of the building. The FSB reported that the criminal's activities were promptly identified and stopped during the measures taken.

On June 23, terrorists in Dagestan attacked two Orthodox churches, two synagogues and a traffic police post in Makhachkala and Derbent. As a result of the attacks, 22 people were killed, including the rector of the church, Father Nikolai (Kotelnikov), and the head of the police department of the city of Dagestanskiye Ogni, Lieutenant Colonel Mavludin Khidirnabiyev. The Investigative Committee reported that the suspects in the attacks in Makhachkala and Derbent were charged with terrorism.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
In Omsk, FSB officers detain migrants for collecting money for Islamists
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] In Omsk, FSB officers detained migrants from the Central Asian region who organized a collection of money to buy weapons for militants of the Islamic Katiba Tawhid Wal-Jihad,
…an Uzbek/Kyrgyz unit of the Al Qaeda-oriented Al Nusra/Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) in Syria. In 2022, founding leader Sirojiddin Mukhtarov was airstruck by the Russian Air Force….
the press service of the FSB Directorate for Omsk Region reported.

“Having entered into a criminal conspiracy, they established contact with an emissary of the terrorist organization Katiba Tawhid Wal-Jihad, who was wanted internationally, and then organized a collection of funds for the purpose of purchasing weapons for the militants,” the statement said.

According to law enforcement, the accomplice to the crime has been arrested. The man regularly transferred small amounts to the accounts of an international terrorist organization. His accomplice, who lives in Novosibirsk, has also been detained. Both criminals are from Central Asian countries, the press service of the UFSB added.

The department also specified that the men were planning to leave the Russian Federation and become members of a terrorist organization. A criminal case was opened under articles of a terrorist nature.

It is also reported that the accomplices were trained in the manufacture of homemade explosive devices; they were trained in a number of areas using specialized literature on terrorism.

Earlier, Regnum news agency reported that a foreigner was detained in the Amur Region for financing a terrorist organization. A criminal case was opened against him under the article "Financing of terrorism", under which he faces 8 to 15 years of imprisonment.

FSB officers also detained a resident of Rostov-on-Don suspected of financing the Ukrainian army. The woman transferred a total of over 330 thousand rubles for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Europe
EU Border Guard Killed by Spear Throwing Illegal Immigrant – Polish Officials Claim Russia's Weaponized Migration Tactics to Blame Instead of EU Mass Migration Policies
[Gateway] A Polish border guard was murdered, and several others were injured by illegal immigrants throwing spears at the border.
Spearchuckers
These are the barbaric savages, rapists, and murderers that Globalists are importing to terrorize civilized societies across Europe and North America.

Polish officials reportedly blame Putin for the attacks, claiming he has waged hybrid warfare utilizing cyber attacks, disinformation, and weaponized migration to destabilize the EU. This appears to be an attempt to deflect the blame from the EU’s unchecked mass migration policies.

Similar consequences are seen across Europe and in Poland. The Gateway Pundit reported last month that two stabbings claimed the lives of two police officers in Germany and Poland. In Germany, the perpetrator was a 25-year-old Afghan illegal. In Poland, an illegal immigrant reportedly stabbed a soldier after reaching through the fence "on the country’s border with Belarus in May," according to Deutsche Welle.

Germany arrests suspected Hezbollah member
[GEO.TV] A suspected member of the Lebanese Iran-backed group Hezbollah has been arrested in Germany, accused of procuring components for drones believed to be used in attacks on Israel, German prosecutors said Monday.

The Lebanese man named as Fadel Z was detained on Sunday, federal prosecutors said in a statement.

He was "strongly suspected of membership of a foreign terrorist organisation," the prosecutors said.

#1  You know how this happens?

mass migration of muslims

and multiculturalism giving them a huge diaspora to hide in

You know how you end this?

remove and deport all the muslims and don't allow any more to migrate in

Le Pen promised to do this in France. They rigged the second election against her

Paul Joseph Watson then blamed Le Pen because she's female!

Teens Run Down by Trafficker Fleeing Cops
[Breitbart] Human traffickers, perhaps one of the most dangerous groups operating in Europe today have struck again with a group of young people walking home from a music festival run down by a smuggler’s car trying to outrun police.

Police attempted to perform an inspection of a vehicle in Bavaria which resulted in a high speed chase. During the driver’s attempt to get away from police, the vehicle drifted in an attempted turn and hit a group of young people walking home from a music and fireworks festival in Vilshofen. The six injured pedestrians were aged between 21 and 11 years old and were all hospitalised, and two police officers were injured. Four of the young people were seriously injured but there were no fatalities yet, reports German broadsheet Die Welt.

The driver did not stop at the scene of the collision and continued in his attempt to escape. Eventually, the vehicle got stuck in a dead end and the driver, a 24-year-old migrant male from Georgia in the Caucasus, West Asia, was arrested. Also inside the vehicle were eight migrants, none of whom had legal travel documents.

Police are working on the assumption the Georgian driver is a people smuggler and the eight passengers were his customers. The investigation continues.

The incident is only the latest in a great series of such attempts by people smugglers driving illegals across Europe attempting to outrun the police, many of which have had deadly consequences, both for their passengers and for other road users. In 2023 seven people including a child were killed when a trafficker crashed his minivan while trying to outrun the police.

The small truck had seats for nine people but was carrying 23, and was travelling at over 100 miles per hour when it rolled at a junction in southern Germany. The same year another such crash in Hungary killed one and seriously injured several. The year before three were killed and 11 injured in a grossly overloaded smuggler car in southern Hungary after running a police checkpoint. The vehicle burst into flames after crashing.

In other cases, the traffickers kill through sheer neglect. In 2021, two migrants died of asphyxiation in the back of a van being driven through Europe by a smuggler, who knew they had been sealed in the back for hours without fresh air. In an even more infamous case in 2015, 71 migrants died in the back of a trafficker’s truck in Austria after the vehicle had been abandoned by the smugglers but not unlocked.

These dreadful events pale in comparison to the death tolls of traffickers at sea, taking advantage of Europe’s weak border control policies to make enormous amounts of money, but killing thousands of people in recent years in the process.

All while they, themselves, perform acts of violence that are in step with Hitlers Sturmabteilung's (Brown Shirts).

Handling Political Opponents
They use THEIR JUDGES, State AG's,
They commit massive Voter Fraud,
They use THEIR Government Agencies to control or tax,
They use hidden funded Special Political Groups,
They create Racism for political use,
They openly promote anti-Semitic attacks,
They promote sexual perversion,
They silence those exposing their dirt and crimes.
They open call for Basic Rights to be outlawed,
They control the media.

I am sure I missed a handful of what the New Democrat Party is and doing.

This has pretty much handed him the election. Trump wins now.

But more than this - culturally this has crushed any possibility of Antifa and BLM

this was in fact providence (although not for the poor audience member who died)

Remember all those years when violent antifa/blm burned down city blocks, rioted and prevented people like Ann Coulter or Brett Weinstein or Jordan Peterson or Ben Shapiro from speaking on college campuses?

That's all gone - that all died the second the bullet whizzed through Trump's right ear.

No threatening violent person is going to be allowed anywhere near. They will be shot by the cops who now will be forced to do their jobs.

The tide just turned against the left.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Israel launches new Gaza strikes after weekend attack kills scores in safe zone
[GEO.TV] Israel struck the southern and central Gaza Strip on Monday to put more pressure on Hamas, following a weekend strike targeting the group's leadership which killed scores of Palestinians camped in a designated "safe zone".

Two days after the Israeli strike turned a crowded swathe of Mawasi near the Mediterranean coast into a charred wasteland littered with burning cars and mangled bodies, displaced survivors said they had no idea where they should go next.

"Those moments as the ground shook underneath my feet and the dust and sand rose to the sky and I saw dismembered bodies - was like nothing I have seen in my life," said Aya Mohammad, 30, a market seller in Mawasi, reached by mobile text message.
"It was a Sand Worm! Wearing a Hamas bandana!"

Israel allows UN to bring in more equipment amid Gaza lawlessness
Running supplies directly to Hamas. Perhaps the IDF dropped trackers in the boxes.
[GEO.TV] The United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
said on Monday that it will start bringing in more armoured vehicles and personal protection equipment for its humanitarian aid operations in 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 Hamas with 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...
Strip after receiving approval from Israeli authorities.

The approval was in response to a UN letter sent to Israel last month on safety and security in Gaza, said Scott Anderson, deputy humanitarian coordinator for the Occupied Paleostinian Territory, as the war between Israel and Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
enters its tenth month and law and order has broken down.

The UN has long complained of obstacles to getting aid into Gaza — Israel inspects and approves all trucks — and says it is also struggling to distribute aid amid "total lawlessness" within the enclave of 2.3 million people, where a global hunger monitor last month said there is a high risk of famine.

Posted by: Grom the Reflective || 07/16/2024 11:20 Comments || Top||

#5  Israel is its own worst enemy

Why was this situation not resolved on October 8?

The entire place should have immediately been razed to the ground.

Sorry but the hostages even 200 of them, should have been out of the equation as assumed casualties of war.

This is actually the ethical response - because if you lose 300 young Israeli soldiers by carefully over months and months trying to fight a house-to-house combat, trying to weed out 'who is hamas' when every Arab Muslim man woman and child is actually hamas - then that is not ethical.

The hostages were lost day 1. Yes some got rescued and some were handed back, but others lost their lives.

This war should have been resolved in one week of shock and awe, and relocation of the entire Arab Muslim population to Arab Muslim countries by force.

This was not/could not be done, so we have almost a year now dragged out Israel is predictably losing the PR war across western countries thanks to the huge muslim diaspora (and hamas are muslim brotherhood)

so basically they may lose their entire country now

This is existential. Israel is in fact going to cease to exist. Hamas will win if they don't resolve this soon with mass deportation.

They can't rule it. They can't live peacefully side by side with it. They can't genocide it. The only option is resettlement of the Arab Muslims - which should have been done in 1948.

  • I don’t believe Israel has already lost or will lose the war against Iran’s sock puppets — Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. I believe that when this slow-motion war is over, Israel will still be standing strong, surrounded by the rubble of Gaza, Lebanon, and key bite of Syria and Iran. And at least half of Gaza’s population will have departed for Egypt and beyond.

  • I do not care that people and countries disposed to hate Jews and the Jewish state are using this excuse to put their ugliness out in the open. They are trading their few creative, law-abiding Jews for the excitements inherent in an invasion of Moslem colonists, at the end of which they’ll all look like the Syrian hinterlands. Tom Kratman’s Caliphate addresses the aftermath of those choices for them. (It’s a free download from publisher Baen book, which is how they seduce us into buying their other titles.)

  • Even as Israel is losing friends who were not actually friends, new friends — whether eager to be trading partners with the high tech start-up nation, admirers of Israeli spunk and accomplishments, or simply supporters of a robust democracy — are lining up to sign formal and informal accords… despite the Biden administration’s efforts to poison the atmosphere.

  • Finally, almost the entirety of Israel’s problems can be laid at the feet of the Biden administration, which has worked very, very hard to get to this point. Should the Republicans win in November, that will be turned around by January 21, 2025. Last time President Trump accomplished the Abraham Accords, and more countries were lined up to join them. This time I expect to see a preference cascade that will galvanize the world.

    Hamas Says It Has Not Left Ceasefire Talks After Israeli Attacks
    [TOLONEWS] A senior Hamas
    ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...
    official said on Sunday that Hamas has not withdrawn from ceasefire talks with Israel after this weekend's deadly attacks in 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 Hamas with 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...
    that Israel said had targeted Hamas leader Mohammed Deif.
    Not withdrawn, just hiding.
    But Izzat El-Reshiq, a member of the political office of Hamas, accused Israel of trying to derail efforts by Arab mediators and the United States to reach a ceasefire deal by stepping up its attacks in the enclave.

    Saturday's strike in the Khan Younis area of Gaza, in which at least 90 Paleostinians were killed, according to local health authorities, has put the ceasefire talks in doubt.

    There had been increasingly hopeful signs in recent days that a deal could be reached to halt fighting and return hostages held in Gaza.

    Two Egyptian security sources at ceasefire talks in Doha and Cairo said on Saturday that negotiations had been halted after three days of intense talks.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was expected to convene his close circle of ministers later on Sunday to discuss the talks.

    The strike on Saturday which targeted Deif killed Rafa Salama, commander of Hamas' Khan Younis brigade, the Israeli military said on Sunday, but there was no confirmation about the fate of Deif.

    "The strike in Khan Younis was a result of surgical intelligence," the head of the Shin Bet domestic security service said in a video released by the service from Rafah.

    On Saturday, a senior Hamas official denied that Deif had been killed and the group said Israeli claims were aimed at justifying the attack.

    Israel's military chief said on Sunday in a televised statement that Hamas was concealing the truth about Deif's fate, but stopped short of confirming whether he was alive or dead.

    Israeli forces pressed ahead on Sunday with aerial and ground shelling of several areas across the Gaza Strip, home to 2.3 million people, most of whom have been displaced by the war.

    Hamas says pulling out of Gaza truce talks as Israel keeps up strikes

    [GEO.TV] A Hamas official said Sunday that the Palestinian group was withdrawing from Gaza truce talks, as Israeli bombardments hit a school a day after a deadly strike, which Israel claimed targeted the Hamas commander Mohammed Deif, but the fighter group said the commander was doing well.

    Speaking after the strike on southern Gaza’s Al-Mawasi, which the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory said killed at least 92 people, a senior official from Iran-backed Hamas cited Israeli "massacres" as a reason for suspending negotiations.

    A second Hamas official said Deif, commander of the Islamist group's military wing, was "well and directly overseeing" operations despite the Israeli bombing raid that the military said was an attempt to kill him.

    #1  No talks with Hamas
    Unconditional surrender or else crush them and remove every last Arab Muslim from the Gaza Strip and resettle by force in Egypt or Jordan or Iraq. NOT any western nation.
