2 shot as hundreds of feral youth clash with Chicago cops for second night
[NYPOST] A massive mob of rowdy teenagers clashed with cops near downtown reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
’s Millenium Park on Saturday night, leaving two teens maimed and at least one bystander beaten.

The unruly mob erupted in violence — trashing property, smashing windshields and torching cars while attacking at least one motorist — forcing cops to escort tourists to safety, WFLD-TV News reported Sunday.

Chicago police said two teens — 16 and 17 years old — were maimed by a gunman in the crowd, the outlet reported.

The violence came a day after a 14-year-old boy was shot during another outburst of teen violence at 31st Avenue Beach.

Police reported one arrest in that incident.

On Saturday, hundreds — and possibly thousands — of teenagers massed in the Chicago Loop around 9 p.m. after social media posts called for a meetup near Millennium Park, WMAQ-TV in Chicago reported.

Afghanistan
Classes Stopped at Private Education Centers - mostly for girls - in Kandahar, Helmand
[ToloNews] Wakil Ahmad Moutawakel, a front man for the Kandahar education department, said their office received a letter from the Ministry of Education ordering classes at all private local educational institutions in Kandahar to stop until further notice.

According to the letter, a delegation has been appointed by the Education Ministry to review the "projects and activities" of all educational institutions in Kandahar and Helmand
...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan...
, and for this purpose the educational departments of these provinces have been ordered to suspend activities of non-university private education, which includes private grade schools, private high schools and private post-secondary education centers.

"There is nothing to be worried about. The negotiations are still continuing to solve the problems in this section. There is nothing to be worried about because it is around 450 to 500 educational classes," Mutawakel said.
“We advise the girls and their families to sit quietly with folded hands while once again nothing more is done,’ he did not add aloud.
"Our activities in the educational sectors for the children have been halted," said Fazal Sabiri, head of an educational center.

Sources told TOLOnews that some NGOs have launched local educational classes for the girls and boys in remote areas of the country.

Meanwhile,
...back at the pie fight, Bella went down under the weight of the custard...
the Ministry of Economy (MoE) said that at least 178 organizations are active in the educational sector.

"There are 178 private--118 domestic and 60 foreign-- organizations active in the educational sector in 34 provinces," said Abdul Rahman Habib, a front man for the Education Ministry.

It has been more than one and a half years since the Islamic Emirate banned female students above grade six from attending schools.

Sumaya, who is a student in grade eight, called on the Islamic Emirate to reopen their schools.

"We hope the doors of the schools are reopened as soon as possible because we need to study, and education causes us to improve," said Dina, a student.

Earlier, UNICEF said that it had launched more than 5,000 local classes for students, and girls comprise at least 50 percent of them.

Arabia
After major Yemen prisoner swap, another 104 released: ICRC
[Dawn] More than 100 prisoners of war were flown from Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian Peninsula. Until the accession of King Salman the place was under the thumb of Wahhabi holy men and was the driving force behind Salafist terrorism world-wide. Western intelligence agencies, even the dumb ones, were wise to this from at least 2001, but politicians were reluctant to upset the international applecart. Once we started assassinating people instead of invading them they quietly folded the Death to Infidels tent, did some assassinating of their own, started modernizing, and pretended that Osama bin Laden thing never happened...
to 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...
on Monday, further buoying peace hopes a day after a major exchange of 869 captives ended, the International Committee of the Red Thingy (ICRC) said.

Two ICRC planes carrying 48 prisoners each flew to Sanaa, Yemen’s rebel-held capital, while a third with eight captives took off for government-controlled Aden in the south, the humanitarian group said.

The "unilateral" release is outside the terms of the three-day exchange that was negotiated between Yemen’s Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
rebels and government officials and finished on Sunday, ICRC media adviser Jessica Moussan told AFP.

"We welcome this initiative and are pleased to see that humanitarian considerations are being taken for the sake of reuniting families," Moussan said.

"This will bring immense relief to the families of the detainees," she added. The ICRC is "facilitating" the transfer by providing air transport and logistical support, and by interviewing the captives, Moussan said.

The release of 104 captives days before Eidul Fitr takes the total number to 973 freed since Friday.

The Iran-backed Houthis seized Sanaa in 2014, prompting a Saudi-led military intervention months later.

Hundreds of thousands have died in the conflict, which has also triggered a major humanitarian crisis.

A UN-brokered ceasefire that started in April 2022 has sharply reduced casualties. The truce expired in October, but fighting has largely remained on hold.

The exchange and the truce negotiations come a month after Gulf heavyweights Saudi Arabia and Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
agreed to re-establish diplomatic ties, sparking a wave of rapprochement across the troubled region.

Last week, a Saudi delegation held talks in Sanaa aimed at establishing a more durable ceasefire. The discussions ended without a truce but with an agreement to meet again.

Analysts say Saudi Arabia now accepts that its prolonged military campaign will not defeat the rebel forces.
