Afghanistan
Daily Evacuation Brief June 2, 2023
[AfghanDigest] LAST 24 HOURS
  • AFGHANS WHO WORKED DIRECTLY FOR THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT GIVEN UNTIL 30 NOVEMBER TO APPLY FOR VISAS – The program is scheduled to be completed in March of 2024. This deadline only applies to those Afghans who were classified as ‘Locally Engaged Employees’. Prior to November, Australia plans to expand the Humanitarian Visa program to security guards and former Afghan government and military personnel who worked for Australia. A recent external review found several shortcomings in the previous government’s plan to resettle Afghans.

  • TALIBAN CLAIM TO HAVE KILLED THE LEADER OF ISIS-K IN NANGARHAR RAID ON WEDNESDAY – In a release that was provided only to official Taliban news outlets, a statement announced that Taliban security forces had killed the leader of ISIS-K and a second terrorist during a night raid in the Shawa District of the Province. The statement did not provide any further details about the raid and the identity of the ISIS-K leader was not given. There have been two previous instances where the Taliban had claimed to have killed ISIS-K leaders in Afghanistan and the information was subsequently dismissed by terrorism experts as false or incorrect. Additional information is needed to substantiate this claim.

  • SOME REMAIN SKEPTICAL THAT THE RECENT QATARI PM’S VISIT WITH THE SUPREME LEADER WILL BEAR FRUIT – Few details have emerged about the ‘secret’ talks that were held on 12 May in Kandahar but most surmised the discussions focused on prodding Hibatullah Akhundzada to repeal the gender discrimination policies. Presumably, an offer to recognize the Taliban was dangled if Akhundzada allowed women to go back to school and work. Skeptics do not see much hope that the policies will be reversed and feel the Taliban are simply leading the international community on with the promises of developing curriculums and drafting work guidelines for women.

  • TALIBAN PROPOSES TALKS OVER HELMAND RIVER WATER RIGHTS WITH IRAN – The Minister of Energy and Water said in an interview that dialogue is urgently needed with Iran to defuse the situation along the border and address Iranian concerns over water from the Helmand River. While clearly stating that the Taliban intend to hold to the 1973 treaty provisions, the repeated calls for dialogue seem to indicate the Taliban intends to bargain with Iran and the Iranians have not yet taken the bait. Recent polling in Afghanistan shows incredibly strong support for taking a hard line with Iran over the issue.

  • CENTRAL BANK TO RECALL WORN OUT 10 AND 20 AFGHANI NOTES – The Da Afghanistan Bank said it would soon begin recalling Afghani notes in the 10 and 20 denominations at no cost and would replace them with new notes. Citizens and business leaders have criticized the Taliban over the poor condition of the currency in circulation. Most shopkeepers have stopped accepting the old notes and this has placed a heavy burden on the citizenry.

CONFLICT TRACKER
Nangarhar: A Taliban official claimed its security forces had killed the head of ISIS-K in the Shawa district during a raid late Wednesday night, A second ISIS-K militant was also reportedly slain,
Takhar: NRF units reportedly struck the Taliban’sdistrict headquarters in Baharak. NRF sources say they killed 4 Taliban in the attack and 5 others were injured (including the district governor).

NEXT 24 HOURS: No Threats Reported

Nigerian Police Arrest Four ESN Commanders Over Fatal Attack On US Embassy Convoy In Anambra
[SAHARAREPORTERS] Acombined team of security operatives has arrested four Commanders of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) over alleged involvement in a recent attack by button men on a convoy of United States (US) embassy officials in Ogbaru, Anambra State.

ESN is the armed wing of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), which was set up to flush out Lions of Islam herdsmen that have been ravaging the entire South East, destroying farm crops, raping women in their farms and killing others during the eight years of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

The group had also been accused of carrying some attacks on security formations especially on checkpoints where coppers had turned into extortion point.

SaharaReporters gathered that wife of one of the Commanders was also arrested, in the joint operation led by the Commander of the Naval base, Onitsha and the Anambra State Police Command.

SaharaReporters had reported that no fewer than four staff of the United States Embassy in Nigeria and security agents were rubbed out and their bodies burnt while some were kidnapped in the Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State on May 17, 2023.

Although the victims were said to be humanitarian workers both the police and the Anambra State government denied any prior knowledge of such visit but later recounted. Meanwhile the reason for the attack is yet to be ascertained.

However,
a lie repeated often enough remains a lie...
a security source confirmed to SaharaReporters on Thursday morning that the suspects were arrested during a raid of several criminal camps in Ogbaru local government area of the state.

According to one of the sources, members of the joint task force where drawn from police, Navy, Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) and the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) with their commanders were involved in the operation.

He said "Several camps of the button men were on Wednesday raided by the security operatives in Anambra State during a joint task force operation conducted in Ogbaru LGA of the state.

"During the joint operation which was led by the Commander of naval base Onitsha in the company of the CP, Commandant of NSCDC and Commander NDLEA Anambra state, 4 notorious leaders/commanders of the IPOB/ESN in Ogbaru LGA were arrested.

Caribbean-Latin America
Mexico: Police discover 45 bags containing human remains
[DW] The bags were discovered as part of a search for seven young workers of a call center who have gone missing. Authorities have yet to confirm whether the remains are those of the workers.

Mexican police have discovered dozens of bags with human remains, during a search operation for seven young workers of a call center who went missing a week ago, Mexican prosecution said on Thursday.

Forty-five bags containing dismembered bodies were discovered in the Mirador del Bosque, in the suburbs of the western city of Guadalajara. The city is considered the cradle of the powerful cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG).

The Jalisco state prosecutor's office said it was not yet clear whether the remains belonged to the seven missing workers but declared that the search for them was ongoing.

Crimes of disappearance are common in Mexico, especially in cities rife with narco mob activity,such as Guadalajara. In May last year, the Interior Ministry reported that there were over 100,000 missing people.

Mexico has seen spiraling violence since the war on drugs began in 2006, with over 350,000 people having died since then.

REMAINS RECOVERED FROM RAVINE
State prosecutors said the bags were recovered from a 40-meter-deep ravine in an area with difficult access. One black plastic bag containing human remains was first found on Tuesday, leading to the search that resulted in the discovery of the rest of the bags the next day.

Police coordinated with Zapopan city's civil protection forces and firefighters to extract the bags with the evidence.

Forensic personnel were also at the scene to determine the number of possible victims and to try and identify them, the prosecution added.

The preliminary report suggests the 45 bags contain the remains of both men and women.

Fifth Column
Far-left New York riot arrestee was out on bail for domestic terrorism in Atlanta
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] A violent mostly peaceful suspect who was arrested trying to shut down a pro-Daniel Penny rally in Manhattan was out on bond for a leftist domestic terrorism case in Atlanta.

Teresa Yue Shen, 31, of Brooklyn, was one of several far-left militants charged with domestic terrorism in January in Atlanta, following a deadly shooting incident at an Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
-linked autonomous zone occupation at the heart of the "Stop Cop City" movement. Shen’s $20,000 bond was fronted by far-left activist Daniel Hanley. The Atlanta Solidarity Fund, a project of 501(c)(3) nonprofit Network For Strong Communities, has been raising cash for Antifa and domestic terrorism suspects arrested since last year.

Shen graduated from Barnard College before working for Rooters and CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
. She is the daughter of a wealthy mainland Chinese pharma tycoon family.

On Wednesday, Shen was arrested by the NYPD at Collect Pond Park in lower Manhattan. Around 60 people gathered to show support for Daniel Penny, the Marine veteran being prosecuted for the death of violent mostly peaceful homeless man, Jordan Neely. The rally attendees were then confronted by leftist counter-protesters, including Shen.

Shen was charged with attempted assault on a police officer, attempted assault, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration and disorderly conduct. A masked Shen is seen on video trying to "de-arrest" her comrade, Jennifer Hansen, who was also arrested.

Hansen, 31, of Brooklyn, is a close associate of Shen. They were arrested together at another far-left riot in New Jersey in June 2021. They have also been filmed together at numerous far-left direct actions in New York City in recent months. Hansen was hit with the same charges as Shen at Wednesday’s direct action.

38-year-old Johny Grima was the third suspect arrested at the riot.

"In my experience, Shen is a frequent agitator and instigator at far-left protests in New York and has repeatedly been willing to get physical with NYPD officers in attempts to ’dearrest’ comrades," freelance photographer Elad Eliahu told The Post Millennial.

The Dekalb County Sheriff's Office and the District Attorney’s Office would not provide comment about Shen’s bonded release conditions though typically suspects must agree to refrain from further criminal activity before trial. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office was reached for comment.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is taking a lead role in investigating the "Stop Cop City" domestic terror attacks.

"We are following up with the appropriate agency regarding this New York incident," a GBI spokesperson said in response to an inquiry about Shen’s new arrest.

Since June 2021, far-left murderous Moslems from across the US and abroad, many of whom are associated with Antifa, descended on a forested area southeast of Atlanta, declaring it separate from American jurisdiction and a cop-free zone. The occupiers have repeatedly destroyed construction equipment and assaulted construction workers and police.

On May 24, the Department of Homeland Security issued a domestic terrorism bulletin adding the "Stop Cop City" movement to its list of domestic violent mostly peaceful Death Eaters.

Three members of group that funds far-left domestic terrorism suspects in Atlanta, have been arrested following a raid.
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

On Tuesday, three people connected to the violent mostly peaceful takeover of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center’s future site were arrested and charged with money laundering and charity fraud.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced that alongside the Atlanta Police Department, the three were arrested in connection with an ongoing investigation into the criminal acts undertaken at the site.

39-year-old Marlon Scott Kautz of Atlanta, 30-year-old Savannah Patterson of Savannah, and 42-year-old Adele Maclean of Atlanta were all arrested and charged with money laundering and charity fraud.

While executing a search warrant, authorities discovered evidence linking the suspects to financial crimes.

According to WBS-TV, the raid occurred at the "teardown home," which is painted in rainbow colors and covered in messages, in the Edgewood neighborhood on Wednesday morning.

Kautz, Patterson and Maclean all work for the nonprofit the Atlanta Solidarity Fund, which bails out those arrested at the scene of the public training facility.

The group plans to demonstrate in front of the Dekalb County jail on Wednesday night, advertising the event on Instagram.

In a blurb to social media, the group stated, "To date, 42 people have been charged with domestic terrorism and a protestor, Tortuguita, was murdered by Georgia State Patrol. Since this murder, nearly 30 additional people have been charged with domestic terrorism for their alleged participation in protests, and some for simply attending a music festival organized in support of the movement."

"Today’s arrests are the latest escalation in the state’s attacks on the right to protest," the blurb later added.

The same day as the music festival, a large group dressed in black bloc attacked the training facility, setting fire to construction equipment. The group also attacked coppers, throwing rocks and fireworks at them.

Local authorities have also discovered deadly traps set up in the park, and closed it off to pedestrian traffic earlier this spring.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, Governor Brian Kemp said, "These criminals facilitated and encouraged domestic terrorism with no regard for others, watching as communities faced the destructive consequence of their actions."

"For months, law enforcement on the state and local level have worked diligently to secure the site of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center in the face of violence from mostly out-of-state activists," read another part of Kemp's statement. "They came to harass coppers and civilians, choosing destruction over legitimate protest."

He added, "Here in Georgia, we DO NOT allow that to happen. Today’s announcement is a reminder that we will track down every member of a criminal organization, from violent mostly peaceful foot soldiers to their uncaring leaders. We will not rest until they are arrested, tried, and face punishment."

Terror Funding SIU attaches property in Anantnag


The Special Investigation Unit (SIU) of J&K Police Thursday attached the under-construction house of a terrorist associate in Danwathpora Kokernag area of south Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
’s Anantnag district.

A statement of SIU issued here said that continuing its crackdown on harbouring bully boyz and providing logistic support to them, SIU Anantnag, after obtaining necessary sanctions from the competent authority attached the under-construction residential house of a terror associate.

"During the investigation in case FIR No 103/2022 of Police Station Kokernag under UA(P) Act, an under construction residential house belonging to terrorist associate Muhammad Ishaq Malik, son of Mohammad Saifullah of Danwathpora, Kokernag has been found used by bully boyz of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen,"
...the military wing of Jamaat-e-Islami and yet another tentacle of the Pakistan ever-failing attempt to conquer yet another corner of the Indian subcontinent they feel entitled to...
the SIU statement said. "Accordingly, process for the attachment of the property belonging to the accused falling within the ambit of proceeds of terrorism was initiated by SIU Anantnag under section 25 of UA(P) Act and the confirmation related to the attachment of property was accorded by Divisional Commissioner Kashmir."

The statement said that people are advised not to harbour or provide shelter or extend logistics to bully boyz or terror associates in their houses, failing which strict legal action would be taken against anyone doing so.

It said that the SIU would continue identification and initiation of attachment and confiscation of properties falling under the ambit of proceeds of terrorism to shake the ecosystem of terrorism in J&K.

Identifying the apprehended duo as Suhail Gulzar and Waseem Ahmad Parra, the officials said that both of them are associates of Death Eater outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba.

A senior police officer also confirmed about the detention of the duo, saying they have been taken into custody for questioning.

Two soldiers martyred in attack near Pak-Iran border
[Dawn] Two soldiers were martyred in an armed attack at a security checkpoint close to the border with 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...
in Kech district, according to the military’s media wing.

The attack took place in the Singwan area at the Pak-Iran border on Thursday.

According to a statement by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), terrorists, armed with heavy weapons, shot up the checkpoint.

The security personnel "responded gallantly" and successfully pushed back the terrorists.

The martyred soldiers were identified as Sepoy Hasnain Ishtiaq, 34, from Dera Ghazi Khan and Sepoy Inayatullah, 27, from Jhal Magsi.

ISPR added that a sanitisation operation has been launched in the area to eradicate any remaining turbans.

Iranian authorities have also been contacted to thwart any attempt by bandidos Death Eaters to escape into the neighbouring country.

"Security forces, in step with the nation, remain determined to thwart attempts at sabotaging peace and stability all along the borders in Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
," ISPR said.

VOLATILE BORDER
There have been several attacks on security personnel positioned along the border in recent months. Some attacks, Pak officials claimed, were launched from Iranian territory.

In April, four soldiers were martyred in a terrorist attack along the border in the Jalgai sector of Balochistan’s Kech district.

An ISPR blurb after the attack stated that "Death Eaters operating from the Iranian side" had attacked a routine border patrol.

In a similar attack in January, four security personnel were martyred in the Chukab sector of Panjgur district.

Following the attack, the FO urged Iran to "ensure a th­or­­ough investigation of the matter and hold the perpetrators accountable."

Earlier this year, AFP reported that Pakistain was mulling seeking help from Kabul and Tehran for act­ion against bandidos Death Eaters as the cou­n­­­­try witnessed a rise in terror attacks.

Turkish shelling targets mountain in Erbil
[Shafaq News] Local sources reported on Thursday that a Ottoman Turkish shelling had targeted an area in Erbil, causing concern over the extent of the resulting damage.

Turkey demands that Iraq halt the activities of the armed party within its territories, while asserting its right to carry out defensive attacks inside Iraq as a means of self-defense.

The areas of Qandil, Sidkan, Soran, Zab, Zakho, Makhmour, and Sinjar are considered the main areas where Kurdistan Workers' Party bully boyz are present.

The fighters of the Sinjar Protection Units are accused of being "part of the Kurdistan Workers' Party," but the fighters claim to be an official Iraqi force belonging to the 80th Brigade of the Popular Mobilization Forces.

The Iraqi authorities in Baghdad have faced obstacles in implementing an agreement to normalize the situation in Sinjar and facilitate the return of its residents. The agreement was signed with the Kurdistan Regional Government under the supervision of the United Nations

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
IDF: Returning fire at Palestinian gunmen, troops critically wound Palestinian child
[IsraelTimes] Military ’regrets’ harm to civilians, says troops near settlement responded to gunfire, mistakenly hitting father, toddler; separately, soldier lightly hurt in shooting near Nablus

A Paleostinian father and a young boy who were seriously maimed in an exchange of gunfire between Paleostinian button men and Israeli troops near an Israeli settlement in the West Bank were apparently hit by Israeli fire, the military said late Thursday. An earlier report had suggested the father and boy, a three-year-old, were likely hit by Paleostinian fire when the button men shot at an Israeli military post near the settlement.

The Israel Defense Forces said that following an initial investigation, it appeared two Paleostinian button men opened fire on the West Bank settlement of Neve Tzuf (also known as Halamish), near the Paleostinian town of Nabi Saleh on Thursday night and that troops stationed at the adjacent army post on Route 465 returned fire. Moments after the exchange, a Paleostinian man and his child appeared at the entrance to Neve Tzuf with serious injuries to seek medical help. It appeared that "as a result of the gunfire by the [Israeli] forces, two Paleostinians were hurt," the military said in a statement, adding that it "regrets the harm" to noncombatants. A probe into the incident was underway, it said.

The military was searching for the suspected shooters, the IDF added.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service said its medics treated the three-year-old boy at death's door and the man in his forties at death's door. The toddler was rushed to the Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan by military helicopter, while the man was taken by the Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy to a hospital in the West Bank. The Israeli hospital said the young boy remained at death's door.

The Rescuers Without Borders emergency service had initially said that the two Paleostinians arrived near the IDF post when it came under fire, and were thought to have been hit by the gunshots fired by the Paleostinian attackers.

Separately, Israeli troops stationed near the West Bank village of Dayr Sharaf came under Paleostinian fire from "deep within the city of Nablus" early Friday morning, and one soldier was lightly maimed, the military said. The soldier was taken to hospital for treatment.

The shooting on Thursday night came two days after an Israeli man was rubbed out by Paleostinian button men in the northern West Bank.

Tensions between Israel and the Paleostinians have been elevated for the past year, with the military carrying out near-nightly raids in the West Bank, in the wake of a series of deadly Paleostinian terror attacks.

The IDF said that during arrest raids early Thursday troops detained 19 wanted Paleostinians. During operations early Friday, two suspects were detained, including one suspected of opening fire at an IDF ambulance in the southern West Bank on Monday, the IDF said.
