Deportation of Afghan Immigrants From Pakistan Sparks Intl Reactions
[TOLONEWS] The forced deportation of Afghan immigrants colonists'>colonists Migrants from Pakistain has sparked worldwide reactions.

The US Department of State's front man, Matthew Miller, in reaction to the forced deportation of Afghans, asked Pakistain to uphold its obligations in the treatment of refugees and respect the principle of non-refoulement.

"So we join all of our partners in urging every state, including Pakistain, to uphold their respective obligations in their treatment of refugees and asylum [seekers], and to respect the principle of non-refoulement. We strongly encourage Afghanistan’s neighbors, including Pakistain, to allow entry for Afghans seeking international protection and to coordinate with international humanitarian organizations to provide humanitarian assistance," Miller said at a presser.

Meanwhile,
...back at the pie fight, Bella went down under the weight of the custard...
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 that the organization is concerned about this forced deportation of Afghan refugees from Pakistain.

Stéphane Dujarric, spokesperson for the Secretary-General, in a presser, said: "we’re very concerned about this forced movement of people, many of whom are very likely refugees to a country that by most accounts isn’t ready to welcome them back, in a sense; and given the state of not only the humanitarian situation, but of course, first and foremost, the human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
situation. But, I know this is an issue that our colleagues in UNHCR [Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees] and other humanitarian organizations are engaging with the Pak authorities."

World Bank: Half of All Afghans Are Living in Poverty
[TOLONEWS] The World Bank in its latest monthly report called the "Afghanistan Economic Monitor," said that half of all Afghans are living in poverty.
If they were more Islamic, they wouldn't care about being poor.
According to the statement, from January to September 2023, total exports amounted to US$1.3 billion.
Mohammad was married to a rich merchant lady. He didn't care about the people his followers conquered being poor, not even the ones who weren't that way when the conquerors showed up.
"From January to September 2023, total exports amounted to US$1.3 billion, representing a slight decrease of 0.5 percent compared to the same period in 2022, and Pakistain remains Afghanistan's largest export market, accounting for 55 percent of total exports, followed by India at 29 percent." It's stated in the report that imports reached US$ 5.7 billion, showing a 27 percent growth.

"Certainly, in these nine months, our exports have decreased, and the reason for the decrease is that we did not export coal from the country, and secondly, we had these problems at the borders with our neighbors," said Khairuddin Maiel, deputy of the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Investment.

Meanwhile,
...back at the Senate, the partisans of Honorius went for their knives and the partisans of Stilicho went for the doors...
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
...an idea whose time has gone...
(FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) in a joint statement warned that acute food insecurity is likely to deteriorate further in 18 hunger hotspots — comprising a total of 22 countries.

"One of the main reasons why Afghanistan's economy is in the current situation is that after the fall of the republic and the suspension of international aid, unfortunately, the economy has shrunk by 25% in the last two years," said Sayar Qurishi, an economist.

Meanwhile,
...back at the Senate, the partisans of Honorius went for their knives and the partisans of Stilicho went for the doors...
the Ministry of Economy emphasized that for economic progress in the country, it is necessary for the international community to remove the restrictions imposed on the economic sector.

"Our demand from the international community is not to make the people of Afghanistan suffer, and for the economic progress and development of Afghanistan. The removal of restrictions and obstacles is a necessity," said Abdul Latif Nazari, deputy of the Ministry of Economy.

Earlier, the World Bank had written in a report that after the establishment of the Islamic Emirate, Afghanistan's economy has stagnated and the unemployment rate in the country has doubled.

I guess that makes sense to some of the more radical Muslim/Islamic Leaders.

NOTE: The 2022 USA exports to Yemen were $382M . Of which, $343.21M (89.3%) were end user consumable food products.

France sends ambassador to Aden as panic over Yemeni retaliation against Zionist entity sets in
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] A French official has arrived at Aden city, capital of the Saudi-backed puppet government after the Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
i forces carried out a number of military operations using drones and ballistic missiles on targets into the Zionist entity during the past days.

According to informed sources, La Belle France sent its ambassador to the coalition-backed government in Aden, Catherine Corm-Kammoun, to present her so-called credentials and hold a meeting with the head of the puppet government, Maeen Abdul-Malik Saeed, after her arrival at Maashiq Palace in the Crater area.

The French ambassador, who was working as her country’s consul in Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, discussed with Maeen Abdul-Malik Saeed what she considered "the dangers that threaten international navigation and the global trade movement in the Red Sea."

The French movements in southern Yemen came in conjunction with Zionist threats to send warships to the Red Sea in order to target Yemen, following the participation of Yemen’s National Salvation Government forces in the al-Aqsa Flood Operation in support of the Paleostinian people.

have been subjected to daily brutal massacres since October 7, with a total casualty rate already exceeding 11.000 dead or injured, most of them children and women.

Last month, the French President arrived in Tel Aviv in support of the war on the Gaza Strip in accordance with a strategic alliance with the Zionist entity in the Arab region.

Caribbean-Latin America
Mexican Government Impotent complicit as Gulf Cartel Spreads Terror Through Border State Highways
[Breitbart] Mexico’s government remains impotent as the Gulf Cartel continues to spread terror through highways in the border state of Tamaulipas. Either for political beliefs or because of widespread corruption, local, state, and federal forces left residents to their fate as convoys of cartel gunmen freely roamed the state highways, clashing with rivals. In addition to the fighting, gunmen have also been carrying out carjackings, kidnappings, and other crimes targeting innocent civilians.

State government officials continue to claim that the violence in Tamaulipas is due to isolated incidents and that crime continues to decrease. Claims to the contrary are brushed off as attacks from political rivals. However, locals claim that is a complete lie.

One of the chief complaints is the lack of police and military patrol along the state highways that connect main cities such as Ciudad Victoria, Matamoros, Reynosa, and San Fernando. It is in those areas that factions of the Gulf Cartel have been waging a fierce turf war with minimal interference from authorities.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Makhachkala Airport Pogrom/riot News Roundup for November 2nd, 2023
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Melikov criticized the crowd’s attempts to find “a Jew in an airplane turbine”

[Regnum] The head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov , said that the whole world is laughing at the republic because of the footage at the Makhachkala airport, in which a participant in the recent riots is looking for Israelis in the gondola of an airplane engine. The head of the region admitted that at first he also smiled, but then he was overcome by fear.

“He looks in there and sees whether there are Jews there or not. The whole world is laughing at us, thanks to these scoundrels ,” the head of Dagestan emphasized at a conference on interethnic peace.

On the evening of October 29, an aggressive crowd burst into Makhachkala airport , looking for passengers on a flight from Tel Aviv. Protesters surrounded the planes on the runway and started riots and arson. A criminal case was opened into the incident . Melikov then noted that the unrest is beneficial to Russia’s enemies , who are trying to shake up the situation in the region. As it turned out later, the unrest was supervised by the administrators of one of the Telegram channels.

Melikov also stated that those who committed crimes would be brought to justice, but no one would “chase witches.” He noted that those who stood and watched, simply holding a Palestinian flag in their hands, would not respond. The Kremlin supported this position, said Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov.

Owner of the TG channel who coordinated the riots in Makhachkala has been named

The owner of the Telegram channel “Morning Dagestan”, through which the provocation was staged at the Makhachkala airport, has been identified. According to the Izvestia source , the channel belonged to a certain Abakar Abakarov.

According to the publication, the man is currently in Istanbul
Istanbul, you say? How very interesting.
and works for Western structures that are waging an information war against the Russian Federation.
The location sounds like a fact; the rest sounds like conjecture.
In addition, it is noted that “Morning Dagestan” is not the only destructive channel aimed at the Caucasus regions and the Muslim population of Russia. In total, it forms a network of 17 more resources in the messenger, which also distribute provocative and fake materials. The number of subscribers varies from 500 to 20 thousand.

To date, “Morning Dagestan” and several other channels associated with it have been blocked by the Telegram administration.

On October 29, an aggressive crowd burst into Makhachkala airport looking for passengers on a flight from Tel Aviv. As it turned out later, the Telegram channel “Morning Dagestan” published posts about the alleged arrival of refugees from Israel in Dagestan and called on residents of the region to take to the streets and organize pogroms.

The crowd was able to break onto the runway and surround the planes. The violators carried out pogroms and arson. A criminal case was opened into the incident . The head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov , then noted that the unrest was beneficial to Russia’s enemies, who were trying to shake up the situation in the region.

Those who committed crimes will be brought to justice, the head of the republic emphasized. He noted that those who stood and watched, simply holding a Palestinian flag in their hands, would not respond. The Kremlin supported this position, said Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov.

President Vladimir Putin, at a meeting on October 30 dedicated to events in the capital of Dagestan, said that the unrest at the airport was provoked, among other things, by Western intelligence agencies, which acted through social networks from the territory of Ukraine. The Foreign Ministry also stated that Kiev played a key role in the unrest in Dagestan.

Zakharova: “Bandera’s handwriting” can be traced in the riots in Makhachkala

“Bandera’s signature” can be traced in organizing the riots at Makhachkala airport, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on November 2

“We paid attention to the so-called signature Bandera style, the desire to carry out a massacre on ethnic grounds,” the diplomat said at a briefing.

According to her, the purpose of such riots is to intimidate the civilian population and destabilize the political situation in Russia.

Mass riots at Makhachkala airport occurred on October 29. Some of the protest participants broke into the runway of the Uytash airport, causing pogroms and arson. Afterwards a criminal case was opened. The damage from the riots at Makhachkala airport was estimated at 285 million rubles. Law enforcement authorities detained at least 83 people. As of November 1, 15 people were arrested in Dagestan.

Mufti of Tatarstan Kamil Samigullin said on November 1 that the unrest in Makhachkala was provoked from outside. Before this, on October 30, President Vladimir Putin said that the riots at the airport were provoked, among other things, by Western intelligence agencies operating through social networks from the territory of Ukraine.

At the same time, the head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, said that those who committed crimes will be brought to justice, but they will not “chase witches.” He emphasized that the rioters at Makhachkala airport will be equal before the law.

Kremlin supported Melikov’s position on punishing rioters

Establishing order in Dagestan is the prerogative of the head of the republic, Putin’s press secretary said today after Melikov’s statement that not all participants in the riots will be punished. The chairman of the National Anti-Corruption Committee called leniency towards rioters a mistake.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, Dagestani athletes Khabib Nurmagomedov and Makhmud Magomedov called for leniency towards participants in the riots at the Makhachkala airport that occurred on October 29 due to the report of the arrival of a plane with passengers from Israel. Melikov, who on October 30 accused the rioters of trying to split Russian society and promised inevitable punishment, responded to the athletes’ calls.

On October 29, mass riots occurred at Makhachkala airport due to reports of the arrival of a plane with passengers from Israel. More than 20 people were injured in the riots, including nine police officers. The criminal case of mass riots has been transferred to Moscow investigators. Security forces identified more than 150 riot participants and detained 83 of them,  police reported.

Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov announced today the Kremlin’s support for Melikov’s position on the issue of punishing riot participants in Makhachkala. “This is the head of the region, this is his prerogative. He is establishing order in his region after such an incident,” TASS quoted him as saying. He replied that, “of course,” the Kremlin supports the head of the region on this issue, the publication said.

The head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, clarified on November 1 that those rioters who sent police officers to the hospital, as well as those who spread false information and participated in pogroms, will answer to the law. “Someone must answer for this. And those who disrupted the airport’s activities for a day. <...> Let’s let those who quietly smashed shop windows, pulled out souvenirs, products, or those who dismantled the paving stones, answer <.. .> probably in order to throw these stones at employees,” RBC quoted him as saying. At the same time, according to the head of the region, those who “simply stood with the Palestinian flag” will not be punished, according to the publication dated November 1.

“The state is making a huge, if not fatal, mistake by showing unreasonable “humanism”/weakness towards the Dagestani riot participants,” Kirill Kabanov, head of the National Anti-Corruption Committee, said today in his Telegram channel . In his opinion, the implementation of the call “not to ruin lives” and impunity could lead to larger-scale unrest. “Russian law should apply equally strictly both here and there,” he wrote.

UNICEF calls Israeli strikes on Jabaliya refugee camp a bloodbath
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
In which UNICEF lives down to its Israel-hating history.
[Regnum] The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) called the Israeli military's strikes on the Jabaliya refugee camp a "bloodbath." This is stated in a statement published on November 2 on the UNICEF website .

“The scenes of carnage taking place in the Jabaliya refugee camp in the Gaza Strip […] are horrific,” it says.

UNICEF noted that it is currently unknown whether there were children among those killed in the attack.

It is clarified that this strike was carried out after 25 days of Israeli bombing of the enclave territory, due to which more than 3.5 thousand children were killed and more than 6.8 thousand were injured.

As Regnum reported , on October 31, the Israeli army confirmed the shelling of the Jabaliya refugee camp in the Gaza Strip. The IDF said it carried out the strike to kill a Hamas commander.

Reuters, citing Hamas, reported on November 2 that a series of Israeli strikes on the Jabaliya refugee camp in Gaza killed at least 195 people. Another 777 people were injured and injured, and about 120 are still missing.

Russia's permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya , said on November 1 that Israel does not have the right to self-defense as an occupying power. He recalled that this was confirmed in the conclusion of the International Court of Justice of 2004.

Later that day, Nebenzya said that the UN Security Council does not have the right to give Tel Aviv carte blanche to conduct a ground operation in the Gaza Strip. He emphasized that the United States has set itself the task of forcing the UN Security Council to legitimize the activities of the IDF in the enclave.

The inhabitants of Gaza were warned to move south. Apparently many did not wish to, or were forcibly maintained in the north.

The Israeli channel Kan has quoted Roi Kayes, a specialist in Arab world affairs, as saying: "Sana’a focuses these days on firing in the direction of Israel, but there are many countries in the region that are afraid to enter the ring of fire."

"The UAE is the most concerned country," he said, explaining that "A member of the UAE parliament — who declined to be named, said that the Israeli response to Sana’a may lead to an expansion of the war."

"The second country is Jordan," he added, noting that "the Jordanian army asked America to deploy Patriot air defence systems, and this comes due to Jordan’s concern about the expansion of the war."

Blinken Says US, Others Exploring Options for Future of Gaza After Hamas
[TOLONEWS] The United States and other countries are looking at "a variety of possible permutations" for the future of 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...

...71st United States secretary of state and a leading light of the corrupt and inept Biden administration. He previously served as deputy national security advisor from 2013 to 2015 and deputy secretary of state from 2015 to 2017 under the corrupt and inept Obama administration. He advocated for the 2003 invasion of Iraq while serving as the Democratic staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 2002 to 2008. He was a foreign policy advisor for the Biden 2008 presidential campaign. During his tenure in the Obama administration, Blinken helped craft B.O.'s policy on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the nuclear program of Iran. We all saw how well each of those worked. After leaving government service, Blinken moved into the private sector, co-founding WestExec Advisors, a lobbying firm...
said on Tuesday.

Blinken told a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing the status quo of Paleostinian Islamist group Hamas being in charge of the densely populated enclave could not continue, but Israel did not want to run Gaza either.

Between those two positions were "a variety of possible permutations that we're looking at very closely now, as are other countries," Blinken said.

What would make most sense at some point, Blinken said, was an "effective and revitalized Paleostinian Authority" to have governance over Gaza, but it was a question whether that can be achieved.

"And if you can't, then there are other temporary arrangements that may involve a number of other countries in the region. It may involve international agencies that would help provide for both security and governance," Blinken said.

In retaliation to the Oct. 7 Hamas attack that killed more than 1,400 people in Israel, the worst assault on Jews since the Holocaust, Israel has vowed to wipe out Hamas in a relentless onslaught in the Gaza Strip. However it does not appear to have an obvious endgame in sight.

On Tuesday, Paleostinian health officials said at least 50 Paleostinians were killed when Israeli air strikes hit a densely populated refugee camp in north Gaza.

U.N. and other aid officials said civilians in the besieged Paleostinian enclave were engulfed by a public health catastrophe, with hospitals struggling to treat casualties as electricity supplies petered out.

Washington has been speaking with Israel, as well as other countries in the region, on how to govern the Paleostinian enclave if Israel triumphed on the battlefield, but a clear plan was yet to emerge.

Among the options that are being explored by the United States and Israel was the possibility of a multinational force that may involve U.S. troops, or Gaza be placed under United Nations

In response to the report, the White House said sending U.S. troops to Gaza as part of a peacekeeping force is not something being considered or under discussion.

's aides are concerned that while Israel may craft an effective plan to inflict lasting damage to Hamas, it has yet to formulate an exit strategy.

"We have had very preliminary talks about what the future of Gaza might look like," State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a briefing. "I expect that it will be the subject of a good bit of diplomatic engagement moving forward," he added.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Hezbollah leader threatens escalation in Israel-Hamas war: 'Nothing is off the table'
[NY Post] In his remarks Friday, Hezbollah leader Hasan Nasrallah threatened an escalation in his militia’s fighting with Israel, saying the group will determine its next steps based on how the war unfolds in Gaza.

In lengthy televised remarks on Friday, Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah warned "Americans have to pay" for the United States’ involvement in the war in Gaza.

"Let me be clear, the United States is just as responsible," Nasrallah said, as he accused the Israeli government of being a pawn of the United States.

"Americans have to pay, they have to pay for Israel’s slaughter," he said.

#2  Facade. They have to keep a public appearance of support for Palestinians and Hamas. But shia have their own time frame for confronting israel and the west, i dont think this is the moment.

#10  Is this as good as the S400 or S300?

It is the point defense against rockets and drones to protect the S300/400 so similar, but different job. Both systems work great against 1980s fighters and technology and have shot down a lot of them.

However against modern systems they have proven to suck and be way, way, way behind the power curve.
