Wie viele Auszubildende nach Deutschland geschickt werden sollen, wurde nicht mitgeteilt. Auch ist unklar, aus welchen Bereichen des Militärs die Armeeangehörigen kommen sollen.

Beide Regierungen unterzeichneten auch eine gemeinsame Absichtserklärung zur polizeilichen Zusammenarbeit.

„People are saying, ‚Is he sane?‘ I have no idea…. but he was a young man of 26 or 27… when his father died. He‘s dealing with obviously very tough people, in particular the generals and others.

„And at a very young age, he was able to assume power. A lot of people, I‘m sure, tried to take that power away, whether it was his uncle or anybody else. And he was able to do it. So obviously, he‘s a pretty smart cookie,“ Mr Trump said.

„We need cooperation at some level with as many partners in the area as we can get to make sure that we have our ducks in a row,“ Priebus told ABC‘s „This Week.“

„So if something does happen in North Korea, that we have everyone in line backing up a plan of action that may need to be put together with our partners in the area,” he said. „We have got to be on the same page.“

(27.4.2017) For “ignorant masses,” read “the underculture” or “everybody else.” It is a blunt statement that too much control and too much voice has devolved to certain non-overculture groups. Yet this could not have happened without the tacit permission of the overculture. They did not know what they were getting into.

My thesis in this diary is that elite institutions, having tried to coopt and exploit the newly-vocal underculture, with disastrous results, have turned tail and are now quickly shutting them out.

Protestierende versammeln sich am heutigen Donnerstag in Paris um gegen die Kandidaten der zweiten Runde der französischen Wahlen, die vorherige Vorsitzende des Front National Marine Le Pen und den unabhängigen Politiker Emmanuel Macron zu demonstrieren.
Unter dem Motto „Weder Le Pen, noch Macron – gegen die Finanzwirtschaft und den Faschismus“ folgt die Aktion dem landesweiten Aufruf an Schüler, heute früh ihre Schulen zu blockieren und zu besetzen.

Ziel war es, alles perfekt vorzubereiten, damit der nächste Versuch von Hillary Clinton, ­Präsidentin zu werden, nicht von Neuem ­scheiterte. Wie wir heute wissen, half alles nicht. Völlig überraschend wurde im vergangenen November Donald Trump zum Präsidenten der Vereinigten Staaten gewählt. Vielleicht nie in der Geschichte der amerikanischen Politik traf diese Niederlage eine Verliererin so unvorbereitet.

(22.4.2017) The 39-year-old former investment banker and frontrunner in Sunday’s presidential election is promising a sea change in the political order. While politicians across the globe court voters from far ends of the political spectrum, Macron’s remedy to extreme populist uprisings is to revolt from the center.

In an interview with CBS’ ”Face the Nation,” Trump said he won’t be happy if North Korea conducts a nuclear test and that he believes Chinese President Xi Jinping won’t be happy, either.

Asked if that means military action, Trump responded: “I don’t know. I mean, we’ll see.”

During a 30-minute news conference on his plane, Francis, steadying himself through rough turbulence, touched on a number of topics. He said he still had not received a request for a meeting with President Trump;

With each day that passes, much to Israel’s frustration, Barghouthi’s status as a dove is growing as he challenges a brutal apartheid system which has tried and failed to crush him. His voice is becoming louder, and even the New York Times gave him a platform earlier this month to break the news that he would lead hundreds of fellow prisoners in their protest against prison conditions within Israel.

Demonstranten im Westjordanland protestierten aus Solidarität mit palästinensischen Gefangenen im Hungerstreik. Sie zündeten Mülleimer an und bewarfen israelische Soldaten mit Steinen. Diese reagierten mit Gummigeschossen und Tränengas.
Bei einem anderen Zwischenfall zeigte sich, dass die israelische Armee palästinensischen Schulkindern nicht half, als diese von bewaffneten Siedlern mit Steinen beworfen und fotografiert wurden. Laut dem israelischen Journalisten Gideo Levy, arbeiten die Siedler mit Polizei und Armee zusammen.

(28.4.2017) A spokeswoman for the Israeli army said that around 2,000 Palestinians took part in what she called „violent riots“ across the West Bank and had been „dispersed“. She gave no other details.

The Freedom and Dignity strike entered its thirteenth day on Saturday, with more than 1500 Palestinian prisoners in have been going ahead with their hunger strike, amid a continued Israeli crackdown on prisoners and Palestinians voicing solidarity with them as well.
