          TUNISIAN PRESIDENT EXPRESSES REJECTION OF AFRICAN EMIGRANTS On Tuesday, the Tunisian president, Kais Saied,  indicated during a meeting of the national security council devoted to the rise of illegal immigration, that the phenomenon is the result of a plot aimed at changing the demographic composition of Tunisia in order to extract to the Arab-Muslim sphere. In his statement, he also accused migrants of many wrongdoings, in a context where anti-migrant discourse was becoming commonplace in Tunisia. Kais Saied's remarks were described as racist slippage by nternational organizations. The most striking reaction was that of the African Union, of which Tunisia is a member. In an official statement released on Friday February 24, the President of the African Commission Moussa Faki Mahamat, condemned “shocking statements made (…) against fellow Africans”. Words which, according to him, go against the spirit of the AU and its founding principles. The rep...

                                    A YEAR OF UNJUST WAR IN UKRAINE Today marks the first year of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a totally unjustified aggression because Ukraine never threatened Russia's security or invaded its territory. Vladimir Putin decided to attack Ukraine violating international law, violating an independent country. The Russian leader has said, in a shameful way, that the West is responsible for the war, Lie! The only one responsible is Putin. 200,000 Russian servicemen have been killed or wounded so far. Ukraine has lost 100,000 military. This is a bloody war. Entire villages have been destroyed by shelling by Russian forces. Many cities and civilian infrastructure have also been bombed. Putin has even threatened with the nuclear weapon. make no mistake! Putin is a psycho who doesn't want to back down. With his former KGB secret agent mentality, he only understands winn...

Israel launched to-day air strikes north of Gaza Israel has launched to-day air strikes north of Gaza City after rockets were fired from the besieged Palestinian enclave following an Israeli raid on the West Bank city of Nablus that killed 11 Palestinians. The Palestinian foreign ministry has said the international reaction to the Nablus raid reflects a double standard, the Palestinian news agency WAFA has reported. “The international reactions were shy and weak, almost equating between the victim and the executioner,” the ministry said in a statement, adding that Israel’s actions were “at the level of war crimes and crimes against humanity.”    A general strike is being held in the occupied Palestinian territories in          protest against the Israeli raid in Nablus that killed 11 Palestinians and          injured more than 100, local news agency WAFA has reported.

                                                       the devilish plan The far-right Israeli government has decided to reinforce the repression against the Palestinian population and, first of all, activate a plan that aims to suffocate the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) to the point of turning the West Bank into a "second Gaza". This is the impression that international analysts have, taking into account the reinforcement of the apartheid policy. This plan has been designed by two radical ministers: the Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, and the Minister of Finance, Bezalel Smotrich. It is about liquidating the last remaining fragments of the Oslo agreements. The plan includes the financial asphyxiation of the ANP so that it cannot finance current expenses or pay its officials. This ultra-radical position could lead to a new I...

                                        THE SPANISH CITY OF BARCELONA BREAKS WITH ISRAEL The Municipal Council of Barcelona (a Spanish Mediterranean city) has made the decision to break relations with Israel due to "the continuous violations of human rights with the Palestinian people." Most of the councilors are from the radical left and have taken this step, which has no influence on relations between the governments of Madrid and Tel Aviv. The mayor, Ana Colau, stated that she hopes that this decision will be "temporary" and that they will once again maintain relations with Israel and, in particular, the mayors of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. “We have also decided to suspend the brotherhood agreement between Barcelona and Tel Aviv for the same reasons, but we maintain the same type of agreement with the Palestinian city of Gaza,” she said Colau.

                                          ISRAEL STRENGTHENS ITS PRESENCE IN ASIA Israel has established its military presence in Western Asia, following the agreement recently signed with Azerbaijan, according to sources quoted by the Israeli television channel 124 news. The two countries established diplomatic relations in 1992, but it is now that Baku has announced that it will open its first embassy in Tel Aviv. Israel, on the other hand, will be able to monitor Iran, its great enemy, from the Azari border. Israel is one of the main arms suppliers and advisers to Baku, and thus played an important role during the conflicts with Armenia over Nagorno-Karabagh. Nearly a million refugees from this self-proclaimed state of the Caucasus have settled in Azarid territory and Baku, although it welcomes them, does not rule out a third armed conflict with Yerevan. Russia, on the other hand,...

                                           BLINKEN: PROMISES AND FEW RESULTS The US Secretary of State has made a new tour of the Middle East, visiting Cairo, Tel Aviv and Ramallah. A tour that, other previous ones, has only given good words, without any concrete result. Antony Blinken maintains that the United States wants Israel and Palestine to be two states that coexist peacefully, but the main problem is that Israel, now with a radical and religious right-wing government led by Netanyahu, is not interested in the Palestinians having their own state. The "new concept of peace" that Netanyahu refers to has to do with the agreements that Israel has established with six Arab countries, but the Jewish leader seems to forget that these agreements were signed between states, while the Palestinians continue to be a people. harassed by Israel and without having the status of an inde...
