Senior Puntland Officials Complicit In The Strikes Of Military Forces

... and ended the seizure peacefully. Sources said the troops agreed to withdraw after the clan leader persuaded the Parliament leadership, ministers and state MPs to agree to resolve the matter. But later the Parliament Speaker and Finance Minister have not honored the agreement and avoided meeting the commanders of the troops, added the source. This has led the military forces to again stage mutiny and seize control of the custom office and Municipality in Garowe and Galkayo respectively on yesterday to protest over the lack of entitlements and salaries. During VOA interview with some mutineers, the soldiers noted they decided to seize control of the custom office located at the south-west entrance control of Garowe city after the government has failed to look into their demands and pay their salaries. Puntland, located ...

Politicized Intelligence Reporting And A Complicit Media

... officials included, whether an attack was imminent, they would have looked at you as if you were mad, and I'm sure the same blank response would have pertained on December 6, 1941. The document also consists entirely of open-source data, and not much of it at that. It makes no mention, for instance, of highly credible reports that have surfaced in the media about the discovery of blank-but-legitimate Syrian passports in the hands of ISIS discovered during raids; or of similar reports in the media in which an Iraqi general confirms having found Iraqi passports in ISIS safe houses in the Mosul area after liberation by Iraqi troops. How curious these omissions seem. Finally, let me observe that the report clearly conflates volume of entries with level of threat. The two are clearly not synonymous — it doesn't take many fanatics to fundamentally change a society's outlook; wasn't that ...

Alfred Molina On His Morally Complicit Feud Character

... He sort of bucked the trend in a sense and instead of taking advantage of his family connections he ended up in Hollywood working in the mailroom at a studio and then just kind of worked his way up through the industry. He was very much a man of his time in the sense that, as men did in those days, he took a lot of things for granted. One of them being a sense that hard work and focusing on exactly what you wanted would get you there. Throughout his life he seems to have been willing to sacrifice a lot of things for the work and for the sake of getting the movie made: his marriage, his relationship with his kids, his relationship with friends. Toward the end of his life he seemed very honest about those things, he didn’t try and pretend that they hadn’t happened. He didn’t try to sugarcoat anything. He said, “Yeah, I made movies and that cost me a lot.” I got the feeling of a man who was very single-minded and he really just wanted to get the movie made. I think that was the overriding thing that I came away with. AVC: Why do you think ...

Saturday Night Live' Makes The Case That Ivanka Is 'complicit

... is not simply trapped, in the way many women of the past could be trapped; she is, rather, bound to her father—and to her husband, her father’s other trusted advisor—in an extremely complicated way. She’s complicit. Last week, my colleague David Sims pointed out how fragile SNL’s satire—and the relevance of that satire, during a time that finds many Americans craving both laughter and sense-making—can be. The show has had a rocky time covering a chaotic political moment, its jokes biting one week and fairly toothless the next. Last week’s show was a particular dud, Sims noted, because its political “satire” did what the show does when it seems not to know what else to do: It portrayed the extremely powerful, and extremely savvy, members of the Trump administration as low of energy and even lower of IQ. It took refuge in simplicity. Here, with a sketch whose very title suggests the complicated state of the White House and the ...

Left Complicit In Violence Ripping Through Migrant Neighbourhoods

... theories” from the far left of American academia as their inspiration for how to respond to suburban violence. “Police are there to question thugs, not to play big brothers Mr Moutouh writes, describing left-wingers as “sorely lacking in common sense”. “Public utilities, schools, and police stations are routinely ransacked” in riot-hit districts of French cities, which the author describes as “blighted by gangs whose violence is more than a match for their American counterparts. “When questioned, their members are being immediately released. They no longer fear the police and now hesitate less and less to violently attack [the state].”. Driving this destruction, Mr. Moutouh insists, is “the laxity of the criminal justice system, which enables thugs to act with impunity”. Liberal responses such as “providing more care and support to juvenile ...

She's Complicit' Johansson Spoofs Ivanka On Snl

... on in his capacity as U. S. attorney. But Saturday, the rock star attorney posted this on Twitter. I did not resign. Moments ago I was fired. Being the US Attorney in SDNY will forever be the greatest honor of my professional life. — Preet Bharara (@Preet Bharara) March 11, 2017. "I did not resign," he said. "Moments ago I was fired. Being the US Attorney in SDNY will forever be the greatest honor of my professional life.". New York Sen. Chuck Schumer said he was "troubled" with Trump's decision to ask for the resignation of Bharara and the other U. S. attorneys. "While it's true that presidents from both parties made their own choices for U. S. attorney positions across the country, they have always done so in an orderly fashion that doesn't put ongoing investigations at risk," Schumer said. "She's beautiful, she's powerful, she's complicit". Saturday Night Live poked fun at first daughter Ivanka ...

The French Citizens Complicit In The Israeli Policy In Palestine

... as "the state of the Jewish people and its Arab citizens". When someone justifies attacks on Jews in France on behalf of the Palestinian people, that reinforces the idea, in the minds of some in France's Jewish community, that they face the same threat as Israeli citizens. At the time, a majority of MPs strongly rejected the definition. The notion of citizenship, they believed, refers to a legal status which confers rights and duties and establishes a nation of equal people in a territory where they are sovereign. Indeed, the state could not both belong to individuals who are not its citizens, while others who are citizens but non-Jews would be clearly regarded as outsiders. Now, the Netanyahu government is using this rhetoric, taking advantage of any attack against Jews around the world to call  on them to move to Israel. These elements serve Israeli political interests by enabling the comparison between anti-Semitic acts ...

How Wesleyan Is Complicit In Affleck’s Sexual Misconduct By Endorsing Lonergan ’84

... about praising enablers, especially when they help sexual harassers. Wesleyan cannot have it both ways; it can either be true to its progressive brand or it can indiscriminately praise every semi-notable success from alumni (and even students who transferred out). “Moonlight” signifies an important shift in movie making. Although members of the cast like Janelle Monáe and Mahershala Ali have extensive backgrounds in film, “Moonlight” avoids drawing actors from the trite (often white) pool of superstar actors. And the movie won best film, quickly becoming a blockbuster. Hopefully the practice of casting actors rather than stars catches fire, enabling productions to avoid any of the numerous domestic abusers and sexual abusers among the ranks of celebrity actors. In the likely event that movies will continue to recruit star power, institutions must acknowledge their complicity in the success of actors involved in sexual misconduct. Wesleyan University has an obligation to reject sexual violence of all kinds. Therefore, it cannot claim credit for Lonergan’s success without ...

Un Complicit In Saudi War Crimes In Yemen

... Shakdam is an expert commentator and political consultant. Her writings have appeared in Foreign Policy Association and the Guardian among many other media outlets. Catherine is also the co-founder of Veritas Consulting. The following is the full text of the interview. Tasnim: According to media reports, Maldivian opposition parties protested Friday a planned visit by King Salman following reports that Saudi business interests were buying an entire atoll in the politically-troubled Indian Ocean republic. A coalition of opposition parties and dissidents said they would stage street demonstrations against the alleged sale of islands when the Saudi monarch and his 1,000-strong entourage visits the Maldives. What do you think about the visit. Shakdam: If governments are still willing to sell innocent blood for a profit, the people usually aren’t and so what you are witnessing is popular outrage against state institutions. I don’t think that anyone is under any illusion anymore when it comes to Yemen’s war and Saudi Arabia’s atrocious thirst for bloodshed. Yemen’s war has made people realize what powers motivate Riyadh ...

U.n. ‘complicit’ In Hundreds Of Millions Of Abortions In Communist China

... Rep. Chris Smith (R-N. J.)  (AP). __link__) – Speaking at the Heritage Foundation on Wednesday, Congressman Chris Smith (R-N. J.) accused the United Nations ( UN ) of being “complicit” in “crimes against humanity,” alleging that the United Nations Population Fund ( UNFPA ) “whitewashes” millions of abortions in Communist China, many of them forced abortions. Rep. Smith’s remarks came in the context of a discussion on China’s population-control policy , which he described as “the longest running and most far-reaching violations of human rights the world has ever seen.”. “In China today,” the congressman said, “abortion has been used as a weapon of mass destruction. Hundreds of millions of lives have been exterminated.”. (Photo: Center for Medical Progress, screenshot). The U. S. Department of State estimates that roughly 23 million abortions are performed in China annually. As of 2013, 336 million abortions and 196 million sterilizations occurred in China since the implementation of population-control policies in 1971, according to Chinese government statistics reported by the Financial Times. The UNFPA, Rep. Smith added, “has been complicit in China’s ...
