No Proof Hamas Routinely Stole U.N. Aid, Israeli Military Officials Say

Israeli military officials say they have no proof Hamas routinely steals UN aid, undercutting a claim #Israel has used to limit food for #Gaza. #GazaGenocide #GazaStarvation

Gaza faces mass starvation with supplies 'totally depleted', aid agencies warn Israel denies it is responsible for shortages of food - but aid groups have accused its government of creating "chaos, starvation, and death".

GLAN has joined over 100 NGOs to urgently sound the alarm on the critical situation in Gaza - its mass intentional starvation by Israel! We stand together to demand that Israel ends its siege and that life-saving aid be allowed in NOW! news.sky.com/story/gaza-f...

📰 Same outlet. Two headlines. One truth.

👨‍🏫 One is a genocide scholar:
“I know it when I see it.”

🖊️ The other is a professional apologist and propagandist:
“No, it’s not genocide.”

A list of questions from Palestinian children in Gaza, compiled by the staff of the Palestine Trauma Centre in Gaza:

Video Shows Aid Workers Killed in Gaza Under Gunfire Barrage, With Ambulance Lights On (Gift Article) The U.N. has said Israel killed the workers. The video appears to contradict Israel’s version of events, which said the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” without headlights or emergency signals.

A video obtained by @nytimes.com clearly refutes the Israeli military's narrative on the aid convoy attack: Israeli troops opened fire on clearly marked ambulances that had their emergency lights on. 15 aid workers were killed. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/w...

Many Pakistani journalists and accounts with large followings have also contributed to the spread of this narrative by sharing and amplifying the false reports. #Afghanistan

The ISPR of the #Pakistan|i army has launched a notable disinformation campaign targeting the #Taliban.

Primarily conducted in Urdu and aimed at a Pakistani audience on Facebook and X, the campaign spreads false claims alleging that the Taliban have handed over Bagram Airbase to the United States.

Taliban says US has lifted $10 million reward for information on Sirajuddin Haqqani The United States has lifted a $10 million reward offer for information leading to the arrest of a major Taliban leader, Sirajuddin Haqqani, an Afghan interior ministry spokesperson said on Saturday.

#Afghanistan embassy in Oslo is accredited to Denmark and Iceland too.

Before being closed, the embassy was run by Youssof Ghafoorzai at the behest of the Coordination Council of Diplomatic and Consular Missions of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, an alliance of Afghan diplomatic missions to defy #Taliban orders and operate independently.

The #Afghanistan embassy in Oslo had been run by officials loyal to the former western-backed government until it closed on September 12 to comply with a request from the #Taliban authorities in #Kabul.

Norway Rejects Taliban Envoy Over Women And Girls Treatment Norway announced on Thursday that it would refuse to accredit any new Afghan envoy appointed by the Taliban as relations remain frozen in protest at the treatment of women and girls.

Back last December, Norway's Foreign Minister, Espen Barth Eide, said:

"We have made it clear to the #Taliban that there is no question of accepting a new #Afghan ambassador in Oslo."

The #Taliban has officially taken over the Afghan embassy in Oslo, Norway.

First of its kind in the West.

The Taliban government is facing a budget deficit and has been unable to pay civil servants' salaries for two months. It recently introduced a new salary structure, reducing the pay scale for all employees.

The economic and humanitarian situation is getting worse in the country.

Why Did Israel Resume Airstrikes on Gaza? What to Know About the Attacks The deadly airstrikes shattered a period of relative calm and raised the prospect of a return to all-out war.

Israeli forces on Tuesday launched the largest and most deadly airstrikes on Gaza since a cease-fire with Hamas that began roughly two months ago. At least 400 Palestinians, including children, were killed in the strikes, according to the Gaza health ministry. Here’s what to know.

I am busy writing my MA dissertation on #ISKP. Will return in a month or two. Wish me good luck!

I spend more time on Bluesky than X. The reason: it's no longer the platform it used to be. I have a sock puppet account with 200 followers, 190 of them are seemingly bots.

#Taliban announces the establishment of the Directorate General for the Preservation of Jihadi Values. This newly-established authority is expected to document the struggles against THREE superpowers.

While #PTI supporters are encircling the capital, Pakistani PM welcomes Aleksandr Lukashenko in the airport. Not a good timing to invite a foreign guest. #Pakistan

Shoigu visits #Afghanistan only a day after Zamir Kabulov, Putin's special envoy for the country, told #Taliban's foreign minister that a high level Russian delegation is expected to come.

Sergei Shoigu, Secretary of the Security Council of #Russia and former Defense Minister, is in #Kabul. He met Mulla Abdul Ghani Beradar, the Economic Deputy of #Taliban's PM, today.

A Taliban statement quotes Shoigo saying his visit is at the behest of Putin. #Afghanistan

I am focused on mis/disinformation and propaganda warfare in #Afghanistan. I would like to be added.

Working Conditions of Local Civil Society in Afghanistan - Afghanistan Analysis in English on Afghanistan about Protection and Human Rights; published on 22 Feb 2024 by Boell

A February 2024 report of Heinrich Boell Foundation stated, "... support for Civil Society Organizations in #Afghanistan right now might hold the promise of more effective ways to lobby and change the de facto authorities than through any other means." reliefweb.int/report/afgha...

NGOs and their donors are expecting more stricter policies in the near future.

Civil Society organizations are essential instruments of the West for advancing its values, interests and soft power in #Afghanistan. The #Taliban understand this, and to counter it, they have taken actions that undermine and restrict these institutions.

The video above shows a Jamaat Ansarullah fighter somewhere in #Afghanistan planting the group's flag.

The nasheed in background is a #Taliban Pashto taraana. It says: Afghanistan is the heart of Asia, the land of lions, the soul of war, the country of revolutions. It is!!!

Jammat Ansarullah is going to active mode.

The group is openly calling on people to consider migrating to #Afghanistan and join them, has tried several times to enter #Tajikistan this year (but has failed).

It's indeed a new headache for Tajikistan which is already afraid of the #Taliban itself.
