AKE's #MOTW highlights the renewed outbreak of unrest in #NewCaledonia this week after leaders of the pro-independence Field Action Coordinating Cell (CCAT) activist group were arrested on 19 June and subsequently transferred to France. At least one death connected to the unrest has been reported after emergency services were disrupted by roadblocks, which have proliferated the French overseas territory along with arson attacks, vandalism and clashes between protesters and security forces. Risks of intensified civil unrest as well as widening business and transport disruptions are likely to escalate.

France 🇫🇷 enacts state of emergency in New Caledonia 🇳🇨 as unrest turns deadly Credit: Nicolas Job/AP France imposed a state of emergency Wednesday in the French Pacific territory of New Caledonia for at least 12 days, boosting security forces’ powers to quell deadly unrest. Armed clashes and other violence that erupted Monday following protests over voting reforms have left four people dead, including a gendarme, and injured more than 300. French military forces were being deployed to protect ports and airports, to free up police and security forces battling looting, arson and other violence. The emergency measures give authorities greater powers to tackle the violence, including the possibility of house detention for people deemed a threat to public order and expanded powers to conduct searches, seize weapons and restrict movements, with possible jail time for violators. There have been decades of tensions on the archipelago between Indigenous Kanaks seeking independence and descendants of colonizers who want to remain part of France —

What does starting operations in Rafah mean?! Does it signify a new displacement operation for one and a half million displaced people? Does it mean repeating genocide crimes against civilians seeking a safe place for themselves and their children, terrorizing and intimidating the innocent again, cutting off food and aid to the rest of the northern side of Rafah, including its areas? It's a new brutal war, and now we ask, what is the role of America and the countries that have repeatedly stated that entering Rafah is a red line? Where are the major powers that supported them? Will we witness a new complete silence?

Listen to these powerful testimonies of 6 individuals who survived genocide or descend from survivors of genocide in Bosnia, Germany, Myanmar, Canada, Australia and the USA. They say that when they see Gaza, they recognize genocide. They are reminded of what they and their families endured. What are witnessing today in Palestine is genocide. We don’t need to wait for any court to affirm this when genocide survivors all over the world recognise it.

The illusion of democracy and freedom of speech has been shattered as the truth behind the facade emerges. Governments and institutions have been selling us false promises while pursuing their own agendas, labeling dissenters as terrorists or threats to humanity. Recent events have exposed the harsh reality that powerful nations, with the support of others, are waging war on innocent civilians under the guise of national interests. The brutal handling of peaceful protests against these atrocities is a stark reminder of the lengths those in power will go to maintain control and suppress dissent. The Biden administration's attack on the International Criminal Court for pursuing justice against Israeli leaders further illustrates their complicity. It's time for the people to wake up and demand accountability from those in power.

https://lnkd.in/ghR85uid Who is running Canada? Why did trudeau remove Sikh terrorism from the list of the top 5 terror threats? He invoked The Emergency Act during peaceful protests by Canadians in 2022, Freedom Convoy, our Truckers and supporters who asked the government to meet with them in Ottawa to discuss covid 19 pandemic mandates. What did trudeau, freeland and MSM news do? Tried to ignite Canadians against the Freedom Convoy peaceful protestors, name calling and trying to ostracize them and anyone involved. trudeau's own cabinet asked him to speak with the official leaders of the protest, he refused, went into hiding, invoked the Act and froze bank accounts and funding. freeland smiled like a Cheshire cat when asked about freezing bank accounts by reporters. She couldn't hide her happiness that banks co-operated with her and froze accounts. Absolutely, Cold, Cruel and Small. Now her, trudeau and the Government of Canada are being sued over this. They still think they are right and were acting in the best interests of Canadians. What a slap in the face for all Canadians and the government itself, the law is the law and they are not above it even though they think they are. They have consistently continued their corrupt style of government, destroying our country with the support of equally corrupt coalitions. Our country is being sold out to Stakeholders of the world right in front of our eyes. It is corporate Stakeholder investors trying to build homes and rental properties in Canada, for profit and control of the market. They will set the market price as high as they want and are keeping prices high because of lack of supply and huge demand. trudeau is working for them and using our taxdollars pretending he is building homes faster than anytime in Canadian history. If you believe that we'll what can I say. trudeau himself has stated he wants home prices to remain where they are. Well that means just one thing, remain out of reach and unaffordable for middle-class and the poor. He's all about protecting Canadians; it is obvious which ones he is protecting, the ultra rich who invest in real estate, buying and selling, making profit and being able to write off taxes on their investments and gains. Nothing wrong with making a profit where and if you can, but it is unfair to be in control and monopolize against those who are not as rich. Any monopoly is wrong, how many do our current government support? Too many, in too many different areas and segments in a supposedly free market, ultimately leading to little or no competition whatsoever and keeping prices high and set. Think about what groups lobby our governments and are making themselves richer while we become poorer. Government is not working for the overall benefit of Canadian citizens as they claim they are. 🤔💭🤔 One day closer to our next federal election. 🌞

Reflections on the #ICJ and #Palestine and #Israel and the ongoing #genocide in #Gaza... January 15 marked 100 days of horror for the Palestinian people since Hamas’ uprising against the Israeli Occupation on October 7, 2023. I cannot believe we have actually reached 100 days. And what has happened? As of January 18, at least 24,802 Palestinians across the West Bank and Gaza have been killed, at least 65,504 have been injured, and a majority of Gaza’s 2.3 million people remain displaced with over 8,000 people missing and unaccounted for. The Israeli numbers have been modified down to 1,139 deaths and currently stand at around 8,730 injuries. And right now, after over 100 days, over 33% of all buildings in Gaza have been destroyed with over 60% of all structures in the north of the territory completely demolished. Hospitals, mosques, churches, schools, libraries – the very building blocks of a healthy functioning society have been obliterated by Israeli bombs. And this fight shows no signs of ending. This rate of catastrophic destruction is unheard of in the 21st century and even outpaces what we witnessed in Syria and Ukraine. And what has happened in the rest of the world? We’ve been rising up, marching, screaming, protesting, boycotting, doing whatever it takes. And we are growing stronger! Just take a look at the numbers who came out to march in Washington DC a few days ago - 400,000! Still, most of this has fallen on deaf ears. At least, the ears that hold power – those have selective hearing. And they’re only hearing one side of the story. What’s more, we’ve just witnessed the conclusion of an historic moment: a two-day public hearing in the International Criminal Court (ICJ) where South Africa accused Israel of committing genocide against the Palestinian people of Gaza. With a barrage of information (and disinformation) flooding lightning-fast over our social media pages, I know that it is hard to keep track of everything that is going on... (cont'd on the blog...)

In context of the ongoing crime which is happening at Polish border inspired by a Rafal Mekler, the known russian sympatist and the 5th column in his own country, I just wonder - where are any actions from all the estimated officials and Ukrainian friends in the EU: Ursula von der Leyen Charles Michel European Commission European External Action Service Mr. Josep Borrell Mr. Donald Tusk President Andrzej Duda - ? Where're your actions, dear Ukrainian friends which we know you are? Do you not see that what this asshole is doing is killing people in addition to putler? You know just well enough that the longest border between Ukraine and the EU is the one with Poland, and since sea transport is practically blocked, delivery of critical products to Ukraine, volunteer aid, medicine, fuel, etc. and generally trade between Ukraine and other countries happens essentially through this very border, so how can you allow a bunch of marginals just block it all? There are a lot of other methods to deliver their disagreement with transportation quotas, and they may deliver it in a civilized way to Polish and EU governments, but what they are doing in fact is a war crime - it does not differ in essence from the russian blockade of our sea ports! And the EU needs to take action first of all, as this is happening in the member country and also our Polish friends need to stand up, you are majority and you've been helping and supporting us, so why do you allow some marginals to destroy it all! If this is happening right now, imagine what's going to happen if the EU is at war! Bring back your unity and wisdom which allowed you to prosper through decades and stop this crime, show that you ARE a power for God's sake, PLEASE!!
Another Ukrainian-Polish crises Polish lorry drivers organisation is blocking #border crossings between Ukraine and Poland effectively paralysing the trafic from Ukraine to the rest of the EU. Since yesterday the protest has spread to more crossings in #Poland and to #Slovakia. The drivers want the return of the system of limited licences for the Ukrainians. The system was suspended by the #EU because of the war and land traffic becoming the only option allowing for the transfer of goods to and from #Ukraine. The protest is led by Mr Rafal Mekler, an activist of the far-right party #Konfederacja, which holds pro-Russian and anti-Ukrainian positions

"The anti-Israel side is getting more aggressive, experts and police agencies warn. And, now, some groups are openly embracing terror groups and their tactics – and becoming far more radical...a document has surfaced that suggests some of these groups are gravitating towards crime and terrorist tactics to advance their anti-Israel, anti-democracy cause. Provided to this newspaper confidentially by a source, the 'underground manual' was created by Palestine Action, a network of groups that use what they call 'direct action' against individuals and organizations who are believed to support Israel...Among the suggested actions are 'smashing windows and exterior equipment', blocking companies’ external pipes, including using concrete, as anti-Israel protesters did on railway tracks in Toronto this week...'Break-ins' are also advised by Palestine Action because 'breaking into your target and damaging the contents inside is obviously a very effective tactic'...If caught, Palestine Action members are given the names of lawyers to represent them, apparently at no cost, and offered the assistance of 'our dedicated support team throughout the legal process'. When the 'action' is over, followers are encouraged to 'destroy all evidence'...Palestine Action’s 'underground manual' is just one more example of how extreme anti-Israel and anti-Western groups have become." https://lnkd.in/gvcQBqaH
