[Khaama] Sure, TRUST. "Your daughter was killed. She was not wearing the School-approved full hijab, also she was trying to attend school. So you see? It was her fault. A suicide, really"
Ministry of higher education of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan announced that a new 170-member unit has been created for the security and protection of educational institutes.
A statement released by the ministry on Saturday, December 25 reads that the personnel of the unit are part of the ministry’s Special Forces that were trained in 313 central corps for 30 days.
Deputy Minister of higher education Lutfullah Khairkhaw said that the creation of a special unit to protect educational institutions was a must needed.
In the meantime, officials in the defense ministry addressing the new graduates said, protection of educational institutions is as important as their stronghold.
They acknowledged that their service equals worship.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan assigns a special unit for the protection of universities and schools after people filed numerous complaints about the behavior of Taliban affiliates now protecting these institutes.
It comes as public universities and high schools for girls are yet to be reopened.

[DW] Asylum claims in Germany rose by a third in the first nine months of the year, as migration to Europe resumed following last year's COVID lockdowns.
Germany remains the number one destination country for asylum seekers to the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... in 2021, new statistics published Saturday revealed.
The newspapers of the Funke media group compared data from the EU's statistics agency Eurostat which showed Germany received 100,240 asylum applications in the first nine months of the year — a rise of a third compared to the same period in 2020.
GERMANY LEADS EU
Germany's share of all asylum claims was 28.4%, compared to 24.3% from January to September last year, and far more than any other EU country.
La Belle France saw 73,255 applications, with a 20% share of all EU claims, Spain received 39,755 (11% share) and Italia saw 28,645 (8% share).
At the other end of the table, Hungary saw just 30 applications for asylum in the first nine months of 2021.
The eastern European country, led by right-wing prime minister Viktor Orban, has been one of the most vocal opponents of EU asylum policy.
MIGRATION PICKS UP AGAIN
Across the 27-member EU, 355,955 first-time asylum applications were registered in the first nine months of this year, 15% more than in the same period last year.
The statistics show that migrants colonists from Afghanistan and Syria make up the largest groups — together they accounted for a third of all applicants, followed by migrants colonists from Pakistain and Iraq.
Last year, asylum applications dropped 31% across Europe, partly due to the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... pandemic. Germany saw 28% fewer applications.
However, a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package... the Taliban ...Arabic for students... 's takeover of Afghanistan and the crisis at the Belarus-EU border has sparked concerns about how Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... will handle a new wave of migrants colonists and refugees.
Despite the rebound in migration, it is unlikely that the 2019 total of 612,000 asylum applications will be exceeded by the end of the year.
BEST CHANCE OF SUCCESS IN GERMANY
The Eurostat data also revealed that those applying in Germany had a far higher chance of being accepted.
In the three months to September, more than half (16,200 out of 29,970) of the applications to German authorities were approved.
In La Belle France, less than a third were successful (9,425 out of 33,325).
[IsraelTimes] The United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... General Assembly on Thursday approved an open-ended international investigation into Israel’s treatment of Paleostinians, which was first set up following Israel’s conflict with the Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, terror group earlier this year.
In May, the UN’s Human Rights Council voted to create the investigation after the UN rights chief said Israeli forces may have committed war crimes and faulted the Hamas terror group for violations of international law in their 11-day conflict earlier that month.
The resolution called for the creation of a permanent "Commission of Inquiry" — the most potent tool at the council’s disposal — to monitor and report on rights violations in Israel, 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 and the West Bank. It would be the first such commission of inquiry with an "ongoing" mandate.
It gives the delegates something easy to do between tea parties, cocktail parties, and sumptuous dinners, while having no impact on the outside world whatsoever.
The Human Rights Council approved the measure at the time with 24 countries voting in favor, nine against and 14 abstentions.
On Thursday, the commission came up before the UN General Assembly for budgetary approval. It passed with 125 countries supporting it, eight opposing and 34 abstentions. Israel, the US, Hungary and the Pacific nations of the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau and Papua New Guinea opposed the move. Australia, Austria, Canada, Brazil and Germany were among the abstentions.
Just out of curiosity, how did the Abraham Accord countries vote? How about peace treaty partners Egypt and Jordan?
Israel’s representative at the meeting said the commission was "yet another example of a grossly discriminatory and fraudulent body that this distinguished forum should be working to abolish."
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The governor of Iraq’s Najaf province resigned on Friday, a day after another governor also quit following demonstrations against living conditions and corruption. Louai al-Yasseri resigned from his leadership in Najaf, in central Iraq, a day after the governor of Nasiriyah province in the south quit following the violent mostly peaceful suppression of protesters.
Their departures underline the challenges facing war-scarred Iraq and how little has changed despite protests that swept Baghdad and the South two years ago.
Tens of thousands of demonstrators erupted into the streets to express their anger at corruption, unemployment and crumbling public services, and hundreds bit the dust in protest-related violence.
Yasseri announced at a presser that he was leaving his post in the holy Shia city, according to the official Iraqi News Agency.
His resignation follows harsh criticism from prominent Shia leader Moqtada Tater al-Sadr ...hereditary Iraqi holy man and leader of a political movement in Iraq. He had his hereditary rival, al-Khoei, assassinated only a few hours after the holy rival's appearance out of exile in 2003. Formerly an Iranian catspaw, lately he's gagged over some of their more outlandish antics, then went back to catspawry... , who emerged as kingmaker following legislative elections in October.
[SHAFAQ] A source in al-Fatah alliance revealed that Hadi al-Ameri, the head of the alliance and the Secretary-General of Badr Organization, will handle the part related to forming the government in the negotiations with the Sadrist bloc according to the division of labor between the Coordination Framework forces.
The source told Shafaq News Agency that the leaders of the Shiite Consortium divided the talks with the other blocs into three axes.
"The first axis will be handled by the head of the State of Law Coalition, Nouri al-Maliki, who will hold the talks with the Kurdish forces to reach a consensual formula that satisfies all the parties and the higher interest of the country."
"In the second axis, former Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi will handle the talks with all the Sunni forces to ensure their endorsement of the Framework's standpoint."
"The two leaders have made a headway in the negotiation rounds held over the past few days," he said.
"Al-Ameri will handle the talks with the leader of the Sadrist movement, Moqtada Tater al-Sadr ...hereditary Iraqi holy man and leader of a political movement in Iraq. He had his hereditary rival, al-Khoei, assassinated only a few hours after the holy rival's appearance out of exile in 2003. Formerly an Iranian catspaw, lately he's gagged over some of their more outlandish antics, then went back to catspawry... , and the leading figures in the movement. A meeting will be held soon between both parties."
"The location of the meeting is yet to be decided, but it is more likely to take place in al-Hanana, the headquarters of al-Sadr in Najaf. The meeting will be dedicated to reaching an agreement over the details related to forming the government if the latter decided to rejoin the Shiite house and form a majority that forms the upcoming national and consensual government."
"The Coordination Framework is sparing no effort to bring the Sadrist movement into the Framework to form a unified Shiite Coalition that agrees upon a comprehensive national agenda."
[SHAFAQ] al-Fateh Coalition announced its total rejection of the staying of U.S. forces in Iraq under cover of training and advice, sending a warning message to Washington and the Iraqi government.
The head of the Coalition, Hadi al-Amiri, said at a memorial conference for the victims of the liberation of Dhuluiya, "We have been patient for a long time until the departure of foreign forces from Iraq, and we agreed, after all the stalling, that all American combat forces will withdraw. it is a goal that cannot be negotiated."
He stressed, "Our illusory sovereignty is a red line," adding that "my message is clear to the U.S. forces and the Iraqi government, that you should implement what was agreed. We do not accept any manipulation, fraud, or changing missions."
"If the U.S. forces want to remain in Iraq, they must bear this wrong decision." He said.
He affirmed, "We do not accept for Iraq's illusory sovereignty to be incomplete, and we do not accept even one foreign soldier, neither at Ain al-Assad base nor in Harir, neither for training nor consultation.
"If the Iraqi government needs trainers and advisers, it must make a contract that clarifies their whereabouts, numbers, and tasks."
Earlier this month, The top U.S. commander for the Middle East said that the United States would keep 2,500 troops in Iraq for the foreseeable future.
He also warned that he expects increasing attacks on U.S. and Iraqi personnel by Iranian-backed factions.
Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie said in an interview with The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that despite the shift by U.S. forces to a non-combat role in Iraq, they will still provide air support and other military aid for Iraq's fight against ISIS.
[AlAhram] Iran ...They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... has no plans to enrich uranium beyond 60 percent if nuclear talks in Vienna fail, the head of the country's atomic agency said on Saturday. Uh huh. Pull the other one

Seriously who would at this point in this marathon charade.
Iran could get waste products from their existing reactor for use in such a dirty bomb.

The never-ending dance for money and attention to cloak their real behavior and give ValJar et al more fig leaf cover to justify sending them aid and support through the Potemkin Village at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

As tensions mount and the talks fail, which they surely will, we should be concerned about becoming embroiled in war with Iran due to a false flag attack conducted against the Iranians by one of our pseudo proxies in the region. Saudi, Israel, or even by hardliners within the Iranian government. That said...
While Iran may dislike Israel, they loathe Saudi Arabia and the exportation of Wahibi influence from the Saudi kingdom. The Saudi and Iranian proxy war continues in Yemen...maybe we should encourage it to go hot...for distraction and let them grind each other a bit.
Sistani put out an edict that it was permissible to fight a defensive war...not an offensive one. If the other side, Saudi Arabia, is perceived to throw the first stone, the fight is on.

At this point I think the House of Saud would defend itself as such, claims that they were doing it in the name of allan second place consideration, if that.

From the Saudi perspective, Iran has been throwing first stones against them since the engineered Hajj riots in 1986. See here.

Yes. Many people think venomous spiders, snakes, etc. are conscious and rational. They think themselves right into a fatal encounter.

[An Nahar] President Michel Aoun ...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah... on Saturday told Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi that "there is something bigger than the state’s decisions that is restricting the course of things," MTV reported.
Aoun’s remarks came in response to "admonishment" by al-Rahi, who said that "we did not believe that the government was formed," the TV network said.
"How can we leave it today unable to convene?" the patriarch asked the president during a Bkirki meeting that preceded Christmas Day Mass.
Leaving the meeting to take part in the mass, Aoun declined to make a statement and told news hounds that he will speak on Monday during a televised address.
Baabda sources told MTV that Aoun will focus on the general situation, especially Cabinet’s failure to convene and the port blast investigations.
"Things have reached the climax (of deterioration) and President Aoun will be decisive on Monday," the sources added.
