Thank you, guys. I assumed there was an occasional traffic cop in the middle of the street, being ignored while he attempted to direct things. I wouldn’t have trusted the electricity to be consistent enough for stop lights and things.

A boy and an engaged girl from Kunduz province’s fifth district, in northern Afghanistan, have reportedly been arrested on charges of running away from home, according to the security officials of the Taliban government in Kunduz province.
The spokesman for the Kunduz police department said that Shabana, who was engaged to another person, and Parwiz, a resident of Mullah-Ghafoor street in Kunduz’s fourth district, fled their home four days ago for Balkh province before returning and being arrested in Kunduz province.
According to Obaidullah Abedi, the spokesman for the Kunduz police department, Parwiz who fled with engaged Shabana, have been arrested on Saturday, 16th July, and will be handed over to the judicial bodies.
According to the security officials in Kunduz province, the two arrested have confessed and will be dealt with under Islamic Sharia, after investigations are concluded.
Afghan women have been subject to forced marriages, and domestic violence, and according to a report by the Human Rights Watch, up to 70% of cases of "running away" from home are associated with fleeing forced marriage or domestic violence.
Following the reinstatement of the Taliban in Afghanistan, several stringent edicts are put in place, strictly restricting women’s rights, including the freedom of movement, as travel bans apply to them without a Mahram.

[IsraelTimes] Israel freezes a move that would expand the quota of work permits for Gazook Paleostinians to 15,500, after murderous Moslems in the coastal enclave launched four rockets toward southern Israel overnight.
Israel’s military liaison to the Paleostinians, widely known by its acronym COGAT, announced Tuesday that an additional 1,500 permits would be added to the quota.
But following the rocket attacks, Defense Minister Benny Gantz has decided to freeze the move, COGAT says.
"The Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", terror group bears responsibility for everything that is done in and emanates from 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... Strip towards the State of Israel, and it will bear the consequences," the statement says.

Channel 12 reports that Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", has conveyed it is not interested in an escalation.
In response to the rockets, the Israeli military said it struck "one of the largest and most important sites in the Strip for the production of base materials for rockets."
The unsourced Channel 12 report says the target was a significant one, and that Israel decided to hit it even at the price of escalation, as it saw the rocket attack as an opportunity to hit a key Hamas site.
It is not clear who fired the rockets. Ynet reports, without citing a source, that Israeli officials believe the culprits were rogue elements frustrated at Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident.

No, they talked about the lefts of Afghan women too. But both agreed they liked the rears better. And Biden just the hair. And then they saw some nice belly dancing.

[BenarNews] A Malaysian-led international peace monitoring group has departed from the southern Philippines after the administration of Rodrigo Duterte, who left office late last month, decided their presence was no longer needed, officials said Friday.
The peacekeeping force, known as the International Monitoring Team (IMT) and tasked with safeguarding a ceasefire agreement between the Philippine government and former Moro Islamic Liberation Front guerrillas, departed the country from Cotabato City to little fanfare last month. The monitors had operated in the southern Mindanao region for nearly two decades.
Naguib Sinarimbo, a front man for the former MILF rebels, confirmed the withdrawal to BenarNews and said the IMT wanted to alter some of the terms of their agreement. He did not elaborate.
"While it has not yet been resolved, they have decided to pull out their contingent. Their authority to stay has also expired," Sinarimbo said. He said IMT could operate again in the Philippines subject to a government review.
The IMT, commanded by Maj. Gen. Hamdan Ismail, officially pulled out at the end of June.
In a message before his departure, which was made available to the press on Friday, Ismail said the bond between the Philippines and Malaysia had grown stronger since IMT’s stay in Mindanao.
"I wish that your dreams and my dreams of achieving lasting peace in this part of the region can be realized in the near future," Ismail added.
The Moro Islamic Liberation Front signed a peace agreement with the central government in 2014, ending its long-running separatist insurgency in Mindanao. Malaysia had brokered the peace negotiations, and its participation evolved to include the monitoring of the interim ceasefire pact forged by both sides about two decades ago.
Representatives from Libya, Brunei, and Japan were included in the Malaysian-led mission, which also monitored the humanitarian, rehabilitation and development aspects of the grinding of the peace processor. The peacekeeping contingent also ensured the protection of civilians in areas where the rebels operated.
Brig. Gen. Antonio Nafarrete, who headed the government’s ceasefire team, expressed the administration’s gratitude for the IMT’s peacekeeping efforts in Mindanao.
"Thank you very much. We recognized the IMT’s invaluable contribution in sustaining the gains of the Bangsamoro grinding of the peace processor as the team nears the end of its tour of duty," he said.
WHAT WILL MARCOS DO?
It remains unclear whether Duterte’s successor, Ferdinand Marcos Jr., will extend IMT’s peacekeeping tenure.
Critics say his father and namesake, the Philippines’ longtime dictator, led massive military drives in the south and many people either died or disappeared during his time in office from 1965 to 1986.
The former rebels, for one, campaigned against Marcos Jr. Its leader, Murad Ebrahim (whose real name is Ahod Balawag Ebrahim), had blamed Marcos’ father and the military under the late dictator of ransacking Moslem areas and massacring entire communities. The Moro Islamic Liberation Front was formed, in part, to fight these alleged atrocities, while also seeking independence.
The IMT’s strength at one time stood at 60, but it gradually decreased as tension and fighting reduced and peace began to take hold. In March, the government informed the IMT it would no longer extend the mission.
The front’s ceasefire chief, Butch Malang, said the organization remains committed as ever in strengthening the joint peace mechanisms.
"We also take this opportunity to strengthen further our common commitment, teamwork, and dedication to work together with all our partners for a stronger proactive ceasefire accord during the post-agreement period of the grinding of the peace processor between the government and the MILF," said Malang.
"The MILF’s adherence to the ceasefire has been a gradual success but was collectively realized due to the strong cooperation and partnership of security forces, local governments, and communities on the ground," he added.

tl:dr; We had to shoot a bunch of them, but after a while, they began to catch on.
I wonder if the 'peace monitors' are departing because new Prez Ferdi Jr. told them to take a hike?
Govts in Muslim world are genuinely afraid of Iran after what they saw in Iraq and Yemen.
In Pakistan, govt & security officials don't even name Iran when they're talking about Iran-based militants carrying out attacks in Pakistan. Most recent example: https://t.co/RTt8BMmSCg
[Mirror] Iran is plotting to kill or capture Donald Trump and his former secretary of state Mike Pompeo, according to a leaked US government intelligence report.
The Middle East nation is seeking to avenge the United States for the death of Major General Qassim Soleimani, a powerful Iranian commander, at the hands of a US drone strike two years ago.
The astonishing claim came from the latest National Counterterrorism Centre report that said the Iranian regime is "waging a multi-pronged campaign against select US officials".
It said this includes threats of lethal action, international legal manoeuvring, and the issuance of Iranian arrest warrants and sanctions.

It's the LSDs. I knew it. They're going to jFK him. Or try and scare him off. The MICs, the afro-marxist wakandans, the BDSing hijabi bastitches, the grifter bureau bums with Sörøs' fistful of dollars up their ass... they're all in on it.

Iran has their trusted agents on the ground. Their wages were palletized and paid ahead.

If the dems lose bigly in the midterms, it will be proof they don't have a lock on controlling elections. If it looks like Trump would beat Bidet or some unnamed dem in 2024, Orange Man's life will become... interesting...
