Yirenkyi Jesse: “Democracy Summit” a Show of Arrogance – Says African Expert! (18.3.2024)

Since its inception, the event has been plagued by a litany of failures and criticisms, revealing the dysfunctional nature of American democracy, he said. “Even within its own borders, the Summit for Democracy has faced fierce opposition, with lawmakers, experts and media outlets alike denouncing it as little more than a hollow echo chamber of empty rhetoric.”

“By weaponizing democracy as a political tool, the United States seeks to assert its hegemonic dominance, dividing the world along arbitrary lines and sowing discord in its wake,” Jesse said.

He concluded that unless the United States aligns its actions with its rhetoric, its self-claimed spirit of democracy will remain elusive, obscured by American hypocrisy and hubris.

Haitham Abdo: Interview

Lebanon: Haitham Abdo – “Remove the Zionists to Build a Free Palestinian State!” (22.1.2024)

As many Palestinian leaders have been assassinated – from Wadih Haddad, to Ghassan Kanafani, through the martyr Abu Ali Mustafa, Fathi Al-Shaqaqi and Abu Ammar – and yet despite all this, the Resistance has developed further, took a firmer root in the land and has not retreated.

He added, there is an internal American movement pressuring Biden – especially after Trump won the Republican Party primary elections – which has increased ever more pressure on Biden.

He concluded by saying: “Building and solidifying the Resistance, developing it (and ourselves) is the foundation of any battle, and the conflict with the enemy is an existential conflict, not just a border conflict! It does not end except with the removal of this Occupation from our region – and the establishment of an Independent Palestinian State built upon the entire Palestinian territory – from the river to the sea!”

New Civil War in US!

US: New “Civil War” Begins in Texas! (13.1.2024)

“Texas’s new actions since the government’s filing demonstrate an escalation of the state’s measures to block Border Patrol’s ability to patrol or even to survey the border and be in a position to respond to emergencies,” Elizabeth B. Prelogar, the DOJ’ s solicitor general, wrote in the filing.

The DOJ is asking the Supreme Court to intervene in an ongoing legal battle between the state and the federal government and overrule a 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that prevents Border Patrol agents from cutting the concertina wire Texas has strung along the Rio Grande.

Texas troopers and National Guard members began to take “full control” of the 47-acre Shelby Park on Wednesday night, erecting concertina wire and fencing at the park to close off access to the public, the Texas Tribune reported.

Eagle Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas said he was told that the park would be closed indefinitely and the state government took the action to prevent immigrants from crossing into Texas.

Abu Ubaida: Israeli Occupation Obstructed Release of “12” Foreign Detainees in Gaza! (9.11.2023)

Earlier, Abu Ubaida said: “In response to Qatari efforts – two American detainees were released on humanitarian grounds,” and added: “Their timely release proves to the American people (and the world) that the claims of Biden – and his fascist Administration – are entirely false.”

Abu Ubaida had announced that the Resistance possesses a group of detainees of multiple nationalities – explaining that they were “captured during the battle, and there was no opportunity to verify their identities,” declaring that the Resistance would release its foreign prisoners “if the necessary conditions prevailed.”

Last month, Hamas indicated through the movement’s leader – Osama Hamdan – during a press conference in Lebanon, that it would not discuss the fate of Israeli Army prisoners – until Tel Aviv ended its aggression against the Gaza Strip.
