📰 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 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...
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

In its latest issue of Voice of Khurasan magazine, #ISKP has threatened to attack #Germany.

The threat has to be taken seriously as ISKP has a habit of threatening before striking and has sleeper cells made of Afghan and Central Asian citizens in Germany. #Afghanistan
