L'affaire #Dorsey

There's been a minor kerfuffle in India for the last two days since the Twitter ex-CEO, Jack Dorsey, @jack, made some statements about freedom of speech in India under #Modi.

A 🧵

(1/)

#Liberals are gleefully sharing these comments as evidence of #India not being a democratic country, and defenders of the government are going into attack dog mode, as usual.

But many people on both sides are missing some key things here:

(2/)

1. Dorsey didn't talk only about India. In fact, he also talked about how the #USA government tried to suppress things. As also #Turkey, #Nigeria.

2. This points to a deeper issue underlying the whole controversy: Is #FreedomOfSpeech absolute?

Day 462 of #Europe's war, the last day of May.

Mercifully a quiet morning so far this Wednesday in #Ukraine

This is my 462nd daily thread.
All the info you need about #Russia's attack in one handy thread, updated throughout the day.

You can support me with a coffee (see bio)🙏

If you happen to have missed all yesterday's news, put the kettle on and prepare for a long read!

Here's the link for yesterday's thread on what happened in #Ukraine and #Russia.
#SlavaUkraini

https://twitter.com/TWMCLtd/status/1663337103113977856

The biggest event overnight happened in #Russia's #Krasnodar region.

Drones hit the Afipsky Oil Refinery and a fire soon took hold, although it's since been extinguished; no-one was hurt.

About 150km from the front, that's less fuel helping Russia kill Ukrainians.

#Erdogan has won the elections in #Turkey.

#Indian #liberals are dismayed because Erdogan is trying to #Islamize Turkey.

But this is a decision of the people of Turkey.

Erdogan has won through a democratic, free and fair election.

This is what the people of Turkey want.

(1/)

If you claim to love #Democracy, that is, the will of the people, then you should be happy with this result.

Erdogan is a #Democrat. He is not #Liberal. He converted the #HagiaSophia into a mosque.

But #Democracy has NOTHING TO DO with #Liberalism, and vice versa.

(2/)

#Ataturk was a #Liberal in every sense of the word. He abolished the #Caliphate, closed down #Madarsa s, changed the language of the country from #Arabic to #Turkish, banned the #Fez cap, banned the #Sufi and #Dervish orders, and promoted scientific thinking.

@ragipsoylu

Polls are open in Turkey’s presidential runoff between Erdogan and Kilicdaroglu.

Here is what you need to know:

• Polls will close by 5pm local time
• A broadcast ban likely to be lifted around 6:30pm
• Anadolu and Anka will cover the results
• The count won’t be long

• Erdogan is leading with a big margin in multiple polls but it might all depend on who goes to the polling stations. Whoever mobilises their supporters and ferry them to vote will have a distinct advantage

PM @CMShehbaz congratulations #Pakistan's spy chief for success in #ISI's "most complex intelligence operation" in intelligence service's recent history.

What did the ISI exactly do? Some details are listed in this #thread. /1

https://twitter.com/CMShehbaz/status/1660993923517390850

#Pakistan's premier spy agency, the #ISI captured wanted #Balochistan terrorism commander Gulzar Imam Shambay in a sophisticated intelligence operation that spanned more than a year and involved cooperation from eleven spy agencies in eleven states. /2

Commander Gulzar Imam Shambay's brother was a suicide bomber in a spectacular attack on two #Pakistan Army bases in #Balochistan in Feb 2022, where terrorists used explosions followed by incursions aiming to taking hostages to create a media spectacle. /3

🧵2 weeks ago I set off to #Turkey to see how its F4E Phantom IIs, which once ruled the skies but have now been outclassed by more advanced fighters, fit into its modern fight. It's clear that these nearly antique fighters are not hangar queens.. just yet
thedrive.com/the-war-zone/f…

2. The AE 2023 exercise involves training alongside partner nations to reduce the loss of inexperienced fighter pilots and their aircraft in potential real-world combat missions, as well as keeping up fighter crews' and GCI (Ground Control Intercept) radar operators' readiness.

3. Since its establishment in 2001, 43 AEs have been performed at the training center located at the 3rd Main Jet Base at Konya. A total of 15 NATO countries have participated in them, including France, Italy, Germany, the United States, and Spain.

🔴 LIVE NOW | "Turkey’s Elections: A Contested and Uncertain Outcome"

NOW: Introductory remarks from Elizabeth Robbins, FDD Vice President of Communications

UP NEXT: @SinanCiddi takes the stage with @stevenacook, @heissenstat, & @SibelOktay.

Tune in: fdd.org/events/2023/05…

.@SinanCiddi asks if the results of the #TurkeyElections2023 were expected or unexpected.

@SibelOktay says both.

@SinanCiddi @SibelOktay .@SinanCiddi asks @stevenacook: So, what went wrong?
Expectation management.
#Erdogan is an entrenched authoritarian. He will utilize the state apparatus when and where he needs to. But also... he has a potent message.
"He is the 'great master' for a reason."

Time to start a new 🧵 ahead of the second round of elections scheduled for May 28.
Kicking off the thread with this new campaign video released by presidential candidate @kilicdarogluk and @jamesinturkey's take on it.

Highly recommend watching this video () by journalsit @nevsinmengu discussing election night and what went wrong. Few takeaways:
CHP algorithm was wrong (esp as the party did not have observers at 20k polling stations);+

Meanwhile journalsit @RusenTakva explains other mistakes by YSK (supreme election council). One party contesting votes (this is for parliamentary seats) is Yesil Sol Parti. According to Takva some 250k-300k votes were assigned to MHP (in coalition with the AKP) instead of YSP

Starting a 🧵on the upcoming elections in #Turkey scheduled for May 14.

Will be adding articles, podcasts, and interviews I find useful for the international audience watching the elections from afar.

First up, some of the stories we have published at @globalvoices

May 14 will go down in the history of the Turkish Republic as one of the most important elections to date. globalvoices.org/2023/04/06/in-…

In the run-up to the election, the AKP and its leader have made alliances with numerous parties looking to dismantle women's rights in the country, including lifting Law 6284, which protects women against domestic violence. globalvoices.org/2023/04/20/may…
