@qatarairways Women continued to face discrimination in law and practice and needed the permission of a male guardian to study, travel or marry. Laws continued to discriminate against LGBTI people, putting them at risk of arrest and torture.

- #ISKP has also started moving their fighters to northern #Afghanistan, according to sources within an anti-#Taliban group. They are being moved to #Badakhshan, #Takhar and some others.
Apparently, there are both @CIA and #ISI fingerprints on this.

1. #Erdogan et son parti AKP est au pouvoir depuis 2002, d'abord en tant que premier ministre et puis en tant que président avec le passage au système présidentiel après le référendum de 2018.
Il a gagné toutes les élections depuis (une dizaine) contre l'opposition⬇️

En face, il y a 3 candidats:
- le chef du principal parti d'opposition CHP
- un ancien du CHP et ancien candidat présidentiel
- un candidat extrême droite

Hammarby IF - Degerfors #UltraBoys #HIF #UltraBoysStockholm #Hammarbaj #Bajenfans #Södermalm Pendant le match, les #ultras de #Hammarby ont aussi passé un message à Zlatan Ibrahimovic, qui avait fait l'éloge du #Qatar, après la Coupe du Monde (02/04/23)
Message des #ultras à Ibrahimovic qui détient 23,5% des parts de #Hammarby, suite à ses déclarations élogieuses sur #Qatar2022 "Pour certains, la CM au Qatar, c'est 10/10. Pour nous, c'est un autre point noir de l'histoire du football. Que Hammarby appartienne aux supporters !"
Les fans de #Hammarby détiennent 51% du club selon la législation en Suède. Récemment, l'association des supporters a voté une motion pour tenter de racheter les parts d'Ibrahimovic et de la société américaine AEG, qui, comme lui, détient 23,5% du club.

#US war in #Syria
Following the US occupation forces' attack on Syria & its allies in Deirezzour, killing 7 & 7 people were wounded, the resistance forces bombed again US bases stealing the oil from Al-Omar and Conoco oil fields with 8 missiles.

The #US House votes down a bill to withdraw troops from #Syria as if the country belongs to the Americans, not the Syrians, whose government never invited the US and its NATO allies to occupy the north-east and steal its energy.

These are Syrian forces and their allies fighting ISIS. No mention of US 'occupation".

1- Iranian conservatives -specially Majlis- welcome resumption of diplomatic ties with Saudi Arabia.
Keyhan declares the deal has angered pro-West reformist factions (without providing evidence). It says both Tehran and Riyadh made concessions.

Countries in the Global South are sensible and pragmatic, and act in the best interests of their people, unlike Western nations which, today, are acting on ideological impulses and often against the best interests of their people. A 🧵. (1/16)
🧵First #IDEX2023 coverage: Counter-drone manufacturers say they are increasingly miniaturizing & simplifying systems to meet rising demand for man-portable weapons, as recent conflicts have emphasized importance of mobile capabilities. But this is risky:
defensenews.com/unmanned/2023/…
defensenews.com/unmanned/2023/…
2. Warren Brown, Fortem Technology VP of Marketing explains that the purpose & ways portable drones interceptors are used today have changed over the last decade "Historically, security detail & protection of major events, key infrastructure has been focused on fixed solutions."
3. More recent conflicts in the Middle East and #Ukraine have shifted the focus to ‘on-the-move’ systems that provide advanced radar detection capabilities, ease of deployment and portability, low overall cost of operation as well as low per-use cost,” he said.
😮 “M'Barki ran reports on a variety of subjects - luxury yachts in Monaco, a Sudanese opposition leader, allegations of corruption in Qatar - that had all one thing in common: they were planted by an Israel-based outfit specialising in 'news for hire'.” bbc.com/news/world-eur…
"The second report, broadcast in mid-December, was about a leafleting campaign in #Paris accusing a former state prosecutor in #Qatar of corruption.” This is an important illustration of how the #influenceindustry works to coordinate across legacy/online media….
“When originally shown in the early hours of the morning, the reports would have gone almost unobserved.
But that changed when they were picked up by #SocialMedia and #TeamJorge's massed avatars. Suddenly they were viral."

A dealer is struggling to sell this beautiful Benin Bronze leopard. He bought it for +500,000 Euros, 2014. He says it was taken by the British in 1897. We’ve heard a lot (!) on looted Bronzes in Western museums/restitution. A🧵on those in private hands. 1/10
Dealer says leopard (42cms long & tall) c 1600 AD ‘or earlier’ of ‘extraordinary rarity’ (although he knows a similar one in a different private collection). But he can’t sell it. He says collectors are ‘concerned this is an asset that is going to diminish’. Is this a trend? 2/10
Certainly @Sothebys @ChristiesInc, key over decades in dispersal of 1897 loot, now cautious of bad PR. Bronzes now emblematic of colonial loot. Once 1897 provenance brought cachet for collectors. Now brings stigma. Purchases legal but are they ethical? So prices go ⬇️ 3/10
