Pink’s recent comments are not just unfortunate but also incompatible with the role of a UNICEF Ambassador—an individual expected to promote peace, understanding, and humanitarian values above personal biases. UNICEF’s mission is to uphold the rights and dignity of all children, regardless of political affiliations or geographic boundaries. We rely on ambassadors to be torchbearers of these principles, fostering inclusive dialogue and meaningful support.
I had know idea historical Samarkand is now situated in the modern Nation State of Uzbekistan (a former Soviet Republic) an Islamic country. When the US and UK invaded Revolutionary Russia between 1918-1921 – the (58,000) British Army tended to manoeuvre around this general geographical area (the British committed an atrocity in Baku – Azerbaijan – by murdering unarmed Soviet POWs). So ashamed was the British Nation after this shameful event – no regiment in the British Army claim these actions as “battle honours”. The US tried to extend WWI to happening between 1914-1921 (these dates actually appear on some plaques) – but Great Britain refused this designation and limited WWI to “1914-1918” (although occasionally a plaque will read “1914-1919”) when the Soviet Red Army prevailed (the formation of the USSR was established in late 1922). Now, I know people from Pakistan sometimes access this blog – so I have added a few “Urdu” texts with English translation. Never stop learning.
The report warned that the large-scale, prolonged and systematic displacement of more than 33,000 Palestinians from the three camps raises serious concerns over the commission of the crime against humanity of forcible transfer. It said the use of airstrikes, armoured bulldozers and controlled demolitions to render entire camps uninhabitable, while forcing residents to leave and preventing their return in the absence of imperative military necessity, is prohibited under international law and appears to amount to collective punishment, raising concerns over ethnic cleansing.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said the manner in which the offensive was carried out indicated that its aim was to remove as many Palestinians as possible and make way for further illegal Israeli colonies, describing this as a flagrant violation of international law.
When it is said that we are an extraordinary and unusual threat to the United States – and we are sure that this is not the feeling of the American people, that is the pretext used by the American government to attack us – one wonders: What is the threat, what is extraordinary about that threat, what is unusual about that threat, when Cuba is a country of peace, when Cuba is a country that has served as the setting for the main peace dialogues in the Latin American and Caribbean region, when Cuba was the place where the Catholic Church and the Russian Orthodox Church came to meet to resolve the schism they had maintained for more than fifteen hundred years?
I try to answer that question every day, but, as Bruno explains, there is no pretext, there is no reason to justify military aggression against Cuba. Well, that “extraordinary and unusual threat” may be the example of resistance and creativity of the Cuban people.
When we talk about solidarity, I think we are talking about three elements that distinguish the value of international solidarity:
One is the tenderness of the peoples, because among all of us we have learned to share something that Fidel taught us, and that is that we do not give out of solidarity what we have left over, but we give what we have to share it among all.
MADRID, September 8, 2025 (WAFA) – Spain’s Foreign Ministry announced on Monday that it recalled its ambassador in Israel for consultations in response to Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar’s remarks accusing Madrid of anti-Semitism following its new measures against Israel-bound ships and aircraft over the genocidal aggression on Gaza.
“The Spanish Government strongly rejects the false and slanderous accusations of anti-Semitism made by the Israeli Government against Spain and the Spanish people, as well as the unacceptable ban on two members of the Spanish Government entering Israel,” the Spanish Foreign Ministry said in a press statement.
It explained that “The measures relating to the inhumane situation in Gaza and the West Bank, announced today by the President of the Spanish Government, reflect the majority opinion of Spanish society and are adopted within the framework of its sovereignty and in line with its defence of peace, human rights and international law.”
Well, today, I received a news update in my inbox about Leicester City playing Italian team Fiorentina (which Leicester won 2:0) through an organisation called “Fan Sided” – which featured the Leicester game (remember, Leicester is a Muslim area which supports Palestine) – and after reading the article I signed-up for further Leicester City news. It was when I received the “Confirmation” email that I saw with horror that “Fan Sided” has the following address as its Headquarters:
