Afghanistan
Around 40 Residents of Panjshir Arrested: Local Officials
[ToloNews] Around 40 residents of Panjshir province have been arrested, provincial officials said, adding that an investigation is underway.

A front man for the Panjshir governor, Abubakar Sediqqi, said that an investigation is underway and that the individuals will be released soon.

"The reports that we have are that some individuals were arrested by the Islamic Emirate’s forces due to a misunderstanding...The council of Islamic scholars in Panjshir and provincial officials are attempting to investigate the issue and determine why these individuals were arrested," he said.

Several reports have been recently published which allege the arrest of residents of Panjshir. The video being circulated on social media also shows the detention of some people in the province.

"They asked the people to distribute the aid of UN. When the people came to receive the aid, they were arrested and taken to prison," said a resident of Panjshir.

Meanwhile,
...back at the wrecked scow, a single surviver held tightly to the smashed prow...
military analysts said that the detention of civilians will have negative consequences.

"If the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
do this and disturb the people and beat them and detain them because they are relatives to the people who are fighting (against them), this is not a wise act," said Aziz Stanikzai, a former military official.

"The arbitrary detention of people and groups of people by the Islamic Emirate’s forces at the current situation has no logic but to spread fear and anxiety in the society," said Hekmatullah Meerzad, a university instructor.

Earlier, there were reports of civilians being tortured but the Islamic Emirate denied it.

Africa Horn
Elite forces kill 10 Al-Shabab terrorists in southern Somalia
[Garowe] Somali National Army (SNA) said its elite forces, Danab, on Friday killed ten al-Shabaab
...... Somalia's version of the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda...

faceless myrmidons in sting military operations conducted in Kismayo
...a port city in the southern Lower Juba province of Somalia, at the extreme southern end of the country (always assuming Somalia can be called a country). It is the commercial capital of the autonomous Jubaland region....
, the southern part of the country.

SNA commander of the 16th Danab Unit in the region, Arab Dheg Ahmed, who led the operation told Radio Mogadishu that the al-Shabaab commander was also arrested during operations conducted near Yaq-Halul village, about 55 km from Kismayo.

"Two AK-47 rifles and one PKM rifle were recovered from the terrorists," Ahmed said.

He said the Danab commandos, aware of the group's atrocities in the area, responded strongly to flush out the faceless myrmidons who have been staging attacks in the Lower Juba region.

The SNA which has intensified security operations across the country since early this year has vowed to sustain the onslaught against the Death Eater group until their fighters are subdued.

However,
there's more than one way to stuff a chicken...
the al-Shabaab terror group which still controls some parts of rural southern and central Somalia continues to carry out high-profile attacks in Mogadishu and elsewhere.

Africa Subsaharan
Al-Qaeda affiliate claims May attack in Togo
[AlAhram] A Mali-based coalition of al-Qaeda aligned turbans has grabbed credit for an attack in Togo last month, the SITE Intelligence monitoring group said on late Friday.

The Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal Moslemin (JNIM) has been expanding geographically, threatening northern parts of coastal Benin, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Togo.
Based on the information here, we’re probably talking about the Macina Liberation Front, FLM for short.
Togo's government had confirmed a "terrorist attack" on May 11 in the northern town of Kpekankandi, near the border with Burkina Faso
...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be. Its capital is Oogadooga, or something like that. Its president is currently Blaise Compaoré, who took office in 1987 and will leave office feet first, one way or the other...
, where the murderous Moslems are also present.

Officials had said that eight Togolese soldiers were killed and 13 others maimed.

JNIM, according to SITE Intelligence which monitors jihadist activities worldwide, said it had killed eight soldiers, stolen some weapons and damaged two cars.

A senior security source in Togo told AFP that the soldiers were attacked by a group of 60 button men who arrived on cycle of violences.

"They exchanged fire for more than two hours... and then a reinforcement unit was hit by an improvised bomb," he added.

Togolese soldiers had foiled an attack in November last year in the northern village of Sanloaga, making the May attack the first to cause casualties.

The statement from JNIM also claimed attacks in Mali and in Burkina Faso.

#1  How does Turkey afford these tricked out vehicles, and all the shells they shoot. How do they pay their soldiers with an inflation rate higher than ours????????

#2  We have avoided doing the same thing in Mexico. Because it just isn't a priority...

#3  How does Turkey afford

I imagine they’ve been spending down the loot confiscated when all those Gulenists were arrested, bman. And they’ve been getting direct gifts from Saudi Arabia, et al. Finally, there have been regular payoffs since 2016 or 2017 from the EU to keep the “Syrian” refugees from escaping west. The shortfall has been made up with promissory notes, I suspect.
