It's like I am watching a reboot of season 1 of Homeland… but they would not write a plot this obvious.
Ahmed al-Sharaa has a powerful new stick with which to warn off rivals on his jihadist flank at home. Those who refuse to fall into line may now face the wrath not only of the Syrian state but America and its many allies

In pre-Christian Ireland, Samhain marked the shift from summer’s light to winter’s dark. But it was also the time when the barrier between this world and the Otherworld was at its thinnest, allowing spirits to pass through to our realm, where they were appeased with food and drink
