As the #Taliban continue to claim moving #TTP fighters to western #Afghanistan, TTP fighters have been confirmed in northern AFG, today the head of district intelligence of the Taliban’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GID) can under attack in #Badakhshah province.
For those unfamiliar with #Badakhshah provincial borders… 
Another important factor to keep in mind is the #geological value of #Badakhshah province.
This is of key importance to #China’s investment into minerals in #Afghanistan.

Syrian world war? Is the label correct? Or is it a Syrian revolution between the people and the regime? We will see that in this thread about the statistics of the number of foreign fighters who came to support the Syrian revolution and 👇1️⃣
bring democracy from their countries full of "freedom", and others wanted to establish (the Islamic State)
An American document revealed that the total number of foreign terrorists who flocked to Syria reached 171,400, half of them from Arab countries, and 2️⃣👇

In five years, #JoeBiden will likely get the #NobelPeacePrize. But not because he did anything proactively for peace.
It is because a #Multipolar World will be more peaceful than a unipolar one, and Biden has done more than anyone else (albeit unwittingly) to further that. (1/n)

The US-led #sanctions against #Russia in response to the #UkraineRussiaWar have forced countries around the world to abandon the US dollar as a medium of trade. This is forcing the rest of the world (non-West) together. Banning Russia from #swift was most important in this. (2/n)
Today during the new phase of #UkraineRussiaWar, I'll talk about why Nordic, Eastern Europeans and Central Asians want #Russia to be disintegrated, and how pro-Russian supporters seek to undermine these narratives. Thread. 🧵
The map of Russia is very big. Including the Kaliningrad exclave, Russia borders 13 countries on land and one country at the sea. However, Tsarist and Soviet conquests also led to Russia having some sort of influence beyond the border.
Being an inland empire, Russia expanded via land, a different compared to typical Western maritime empires. And Russia has, for a long time, treated its colonies in a brutal, repressive manner.

Since Sept 26, leaks reported in both #NordStream1 trunklines & one #NordStream2 trunkline. Danish & Swedish officials said leaks resulted from explosions. NATO, EU & others fingered #Russia as likely culprit. Predictably, Moscow denied involvement. 1/4
Good reasons to suspect #Russia. Incapacitation of NS pipelines reminds Europe of Kremlin energy card and allows #Gazprom to claim force majeure to avoid penalties for non-delivery of gas. Pipeline attacks highlight European dependence on other underseas pipelines & cables. 2/4
Have seen this before. In 2009, #Gazprom had contract to buy pipeline gas from #Turkmenistan, but falling demand for gas made contract unprofitable. Then pipeline went boom, letting Gazprom claim force majeure to get out of contract. Turkmen said #Russia blew up pipeline. 3/4

How did agricultural land use upstream of the Aral Sea change in the last three decades? Here is our new #openaccess paper in @IOPenvironment: “Post-Soviet changes in cropping practices in the irrigated drylands of the Aral Sea basin”: dx.doi.org/10.1088/1748-9… (1/n)

The brutal footage of the beating of a woman is being shared in the Turkmenistan. Bloggers write that the incident took place in a beauty salon. Allegedly, the husband found his wife in a barber shop. /2
The women in the salon initially tried to defend the victim, but in the end it all ended with screams and physical abuse.
In Turkmenistan, a law is in force that women cannot dye their hair, glue eyelashes, or give injections of "beauty". /3

I don't have any of the details of this situation in #Croatia yet (guessing it's more like she was arrested by Croatian police on an Interpol red notice??), but no country should ever extradite anyone to #Turkmenistan due to the risk of torture & disappearance in custody there.
If that is the situation, then hopefully the authorities in #Croatia will come to their senses soon. This kind of thing happens far too often: a brutal dictatorship abuses the Interpol system to try to get their hands on activists & perceived opponents abroad.
Oftentimes, it’s a low-level officer just reading things off a computer screen & detaining the person when the red notice pops up. Eventually, someone higher up sees the situation, realises it’s a dictatorship trying to abuse the international system, and releases the person.

My latest with @adalatseeker and @boshikh for @OCCRP: We tracked down the secretive relative of #Turkmenistan's longtime dictator who controls the country's monopoly mobile phone operator.
How secretive is Shyhmyrat Shaharliyev, the director of #Turkmenistan's monopoly mobile operator Altyn Asyr (TMCell)? He has never made a public appearance as director!
During most of the investigation, we only had an image of his torso (the man at the center) from social media.

Only later did we manage to identify him in 3 seconds of footage from #Turkmenistan state TV. Three seconds are his only public appearance!!!
Why so secretive? Likely because he doesn't want the public to realize he's related to longtime president Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov...

1.#Turkmenistan is undergoing a presidential succession. Despite the isolation imposed by geography and its political system, this country has played an important role in Eurasian energy politics. A recapping thread 👇apnews.com/article/russia…
2.Through the lenses of Turkmen energy history, one can trace 30 years of shifts in international politics including the USSR collapse, the US unipolar moment, the war on terror, Russia’s resurgence (well…) and China’s rise.
3. At the collapse of the USSR, newly independent Turkmenistan was a peripheral, impoverished state. Yet, an untapped treasure lied beneath its soil: 13.6 tcm of natural gas reserves (7% of global reserves), making Turkmenistan the fourth in the world.
Our newest release is coming your way next week!! Over the next few days I'm going to tell you all about the beer, the story behind it and why it's so symbolic. Let's start here. What is Nowruz? It's the #Persian New Year! #Nowruz falls on the first day of Spring (March 20th) 1/3
It's the largest celebration and the traditions extend for several weeks. More than 300M people celebrate #Norwuz - including select populations from #Afghanistan, #Iraq, #Albania, #Uzbekistan, #Azerbaijan, #India, #Kazakstan, #Pakistan, #Turkey & #Turkmenistan (among others) 2/3
The word "#Nowruz" translates to "New Day", as it marks a celebration of new beginnings. so it only made sense to name our beer NEW DAY IPA. That's it for now! If you got to this point, thanks for reading. Any questions, comment below! 3/3

Local sources in #Jawzjan told me that at 9:30 a.m. today, in the #Khamyab district, on the #AFG-#Turkmenistan border, the #Taliban started clash with Turkmen border guards.
At least, 4 Turkmen soldiers were reportedly #killed& two Turkmen border posts were set on fire by the TB.

Müthiş bir görselliğe sahip olan Ahal Teke’ler, Türkmen atı olarak da biliniyor. Dünyada At Bakanlığının olduğu tek ülke #Türkmenistan’ın Ahal vilayetinde yaşıyor. Şu anda dünya üzerine 7 bin civarı Ahal Teke kaldığı söyleniyor.
‘Soykırıma uğrayan tek hayvan olarak’ ifade edilmesinin nedeni ise 2. Dünya Savaşı sırasında Türkmen direnişini kırmak için Stalin’in 80 bin Ahal Teke atını katletmesi.
