'Our treatment is shocking': Red tape in US leaves Afghans in legal limbo
[MiddleEastEye] Afghans in the US are dealing with lack of resources as they work to stay in the country, while an immigration backlog triggers a bottleneck in the Middle East

Khalis Noori returned to Afghanistan last April to make his country a better place for all Afghans. He had just finished his graduate studies in the United Kingdom and had secured a job in his country's department of finance.

"I returned to Afghanistan, to Kabul, to just be a part of that promise that the western world gave to the youths and to the people of Afghanistan," Noori told MEE.

India-Pakistan
India bans Muslim group PFI, accuses it of ‘terrorism’
Yesterday the big crackdown, today the five year ban. By Sunday, no doubt, they will reappear under yet another name.
[Dawn] India declared the Popular Front of India (PFI)
…the latest identity of Pakistan sock puppet National Development Front (NDF) and the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). They’re fond of IEDs, swords, Al Qaeda and Taliban propaganda, the perverse pleasures of Love Jihad, and have surprisingly well-trained connections with jihadis in Bangladesh and Pakistan...
Moslem group and its affiliates unlawful on Wednesday, accusing them of involvement in terrorism and banning them for five years, after authorities detained more than 100 PFI members this month.

The PFI said it had dissolved itself and asked its members to stop their activities.

"As law-abiding citizens of our great country, the organization accepts the decision of the Ministry of Home Affairs," the PFI’s branch in Kerala state, where it has a big presence, said in a statement.

On Tuesday, the PFI denied accusations of violence and anti-national activities when its offices were raided and dozens of its members were detained in various states.

The home ministry, in announcing the ban, said in a statement the PFI and its affiliates had "been found to be involved in serious offences, including terrorism and its financing, targeted gruesome killings, disregarding the constitutional set up".

The PFI’s now-banned student wing, the Campus Front of India (CFI), called the government action a political vendetta and propaganda. It denied the accusations of involvement in terrorism.

The PFI has supported causes such as protests against a 2019 citizenship law that many Moslems deem discriminatory, as well as protests in the southern state of Karnataka this year demanding the right for Moslem women students to wear the hijab in class.

The ban is likely to stir an outcry among opponents of the government, which retains broad public support and a comfortable majority in parliament eight years after Modi first became prime minister.

’RUTHLESSLY SUPPRESSED’
The Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), which works with the PFI on some issues but was not included in the ban, said the government had struck a blow against democracy and human rights
One man's rights are another man's existential threat.
"Freedom of speech, protests and organizations have been ruthlessly suppressed by the regime against the basic principles of the Indian constitution," the SDPI said in a statement.
The SDPI is apparently the political wing of the PFI.
Some SDPI office were raided and some of its members were detained this month.

The government said in a notification it had banned the PFI and affiliates CFI, Rehab India Foundation, All India Imams Council, National Confederation of Human Rights Organisation, National Women’s Front, Junior Front, Empower India Foundation and Rehab Foundation, Kerala.
More names for future archive searches. :-)
The government said it found a "number of instances of international linkages of PFI with global terrorist groups", adding that some of its members had joined turban Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group and participated in "terror activities" in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Yet another feeder organization for International Jihad, Inc.
India has been the victim of some major turban attacks over the past two decades.

The PFI came together in late 2006 and was launched formally the next year with the merger of three organizations based in south India. It calls itself a "social movement striving for total empowerment" on its website.

PFI banned: A demand that began in 2010 comes into force in 2022
[OneIndia] The culprits were the Popular Front of India. The government at that time said that they were aware of a local Dar-ul-Khada
...sharia court paralleling India’s civil courts...
set up by the Popular Front of India which was functioning to resolve civil disputes.

Document to make India an Islamic State among other material recovered during raid on PFI
[OneIndia] From the UP leadership the NIA seized pen drives containing videos relating to the Islamic State and Ghazwat-ul-Hind.
Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind is an Al-Qaeda-affiliated Islamist militant group active in Kashmir..
The National Investigation Agency which carried out the raids along with the Enforcement Directorate seized incriminating material including bomb making manuals. The agencies in a note said that it had seized hundreds of incriminating materials. It listed a brochure and a CD related to Mission 2047. This was a document containing material to covert India into an Islamic State by 2047. This was seized from the vice-president of the PFI Maharashtra.

The NIA also said that the PFI and its various front organizations had a presence in over 17 states in the country [and] over 1,300 criminal cases had been registered by Police and NIA against cadres of PFI and its front organizations in different states.

The NIA and ED carried out raids across the country in the past two weeks. Over 300 arrests were carried out following the raids.

IDF arrests pair seeking to sneak into Israel from Lebanon in non-security incident
[israelTimes] Army says it’s interrogating infiltrators who appear to have been looking for work as has been the case in several other incidents this summer, given Lebanon’s grim economic status.
Israel is such an evil, apartheid country that Arabs sneak in from all over, just to work there illegally.

Lev Tahor cult members arrested in massive raid on Mexico's border
[JPost] Some 20 Jews belonging to the extremist Lev Tahor sect were arrested in raids by Mexican immigration authorities.

Twenty members of the Jewish cult Lev Tahor were detained in massive raids by law enforcement authorities in Mexico, the Mexican outlet Diario de Chiapas reported on Tuesday.

The raid was carried out in a Mexican migration control facility on the country’s border with Guatemala, where the sect members were being held, according to the report.

Following the raids, the families of the detained Lev Tahor members protested the conditions in which they were kept in the facility, with information on their living situation "aggressively constricted" by Mexican authorities, the report said.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
If Turkey Has Chance, It Will Invade NE Syria — Mazloum Abdi
[NPASYRIA] If the Turks attack northeastern Syria, it will have an impact on the fight against the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS), said Mazloum Abdi, Commander-in-Chief of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

In an interview with the French Le Monde on September 9, Abdi stressed that the threat of another Ottoman Turkish invasion in northeastern Syria remained "serious", adding "If they have the chance, the Turks will carry it out. We are preparing to respond if necessary."

On May 23, Erdogan announced taking steps to complete the so-called remained portions of the "safe zone" plan along The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
’s southern border saying, "We will soon take new steps regarding the incomplete portions of the project we started on the 30 km deep safe zone we established along our southern border."

On June 1, Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
renewed his threats of launching a military operation on northern Syria, and specified his targets in the two Syrian cities of Manbij and Tel Rifaat, which include many Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).

Abdi pointed out that Erdogan’s attempts to get American and Russian permission for the invasion were unsuccessful, adding at the same time that they have received "no warranty" from them about the possibility of any Ottoman Turkish offensive.

The Turks want to have a permanent presence in Syria and to annihilate the Kurdish existence, Abdi noted.

Following the Ottoman Turkish incursion into northeastern Syria in October 2019, Turkey signed two ceasefire agreements, one with Russia and the other with the US stipulating ceasing all hostilities and the withdrawal of the SDF 32 km away from the Ottoman Turkish border.

Mazloum Abdi indicated that the focus must be on the fight against ISIS sleeper cells, noting to the danger of their activities, "We arrested, three months ago, an ISIS cell which had planned to attack Hawl Camp when the Ottoman Turkish offensive would be launched.

On August 25, the Internal Security Forces of North and East Syria (Asayish) announced launching the second phase of Operation "Humanity and Security" in Hawl Camp to pursue the ISIS sleeper cells.

He also called on foreign countries to repatriate their nationals, including La Belle France. "The steps are very slow. The delays are due to the French, not ours," he said.

'’Four years full of fear''.. Yazidi Wafaa recalls her agony in al-Hol camp
[SHAFAQ] Wafaa Ali, a Yazidi woman, recently freed from ISIS captivity in the Syrian camp of al-Hol, recalls her four years of suffering with eyes full of tears and hope. After all, Wafaa was too terrified to leave her tent because she had witnessed daily murders inside the camp.

BLOODSHED IN THE CAMP
"I was transferred from the Syrian village of Baghouz to al-Hol camp where I stayed for four years filled with fear, as a result of the ill-treatment I received from the family I was staying with."

"I witnessed ISIS leaders' disputes, the torture methods they employed on camp inmates, murders, and many other violent mostly peaceful deeds. It all made me too terrified to get out of my tent."

"I had no idea what happened to my family after I was kidnapped from my village Kocho, south of Sinjar."

FREED BY CHANCE
Wafaa revealed how she was liberated by chance after the Syrian Democratic Forces (S.D.F.) raided the camp and arrested her, "I was very scared because I did not know who took me at night. I was interrogated without knowing what was happening, but I confessed to them that I am a Yazidi from Sinjar. Then, they contacted my family and relatives who were liberated before me, except for my brother."

"My parents currently live in Canada, and I have contacted them," she said, hoping to join them again.

Official statistics issued by the Department of Abductees Affairs in Kurdistan confirm that more than 350 Yazidis, the majority of whom are women and kiddies, were freed from ISIS's control after being kidnapped in 2014. However,
today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday...
the fate of more than 2,700 others is still unknown more than eight years after the abduction.
