Ecuador‘s Conaie Releases Policemen After Leader‘s Funeral

The group released the officers on Thursday evening after the funeral of leader Inocencio Tucumbi, who was killed on Wednesday during protests.

The Conaie leaders made the four officers carry the coffin because, according to the Indigenous justice system, they represented the violent repression that forced Tucumbi to become a victim of the week’s protests.

The officers were handed over to representatives of the United Nations in Ecuador.

Netanyahu’s Iran Policy Has Collapsed

Netanyahu built his foreign affairs and defense policy on two foundations: complete identification with Trump and escalating the conflict with Iran and its allies, with a series of attacks that have intensified in recent months, striking at a distance as far as Iraq. He believed, and marketed to the public, that Trump was attentive to his counsel and would take steps to bring down the Iranian regime. But to his great disappointment Trump broke off contact with him after the election and is brazenly acting to thaw relations with Iran.

Internationale Kriegskoalition marschiert von Türkei in Syrien ein

(25. August 2016)

Während die seit 2011 vom U.S.-Imperium und seiner Hegemonie betriebene Invasion und Zerschlagung Syriens weiter voranschreitet, herrschen weit und breit Verrat, Verwirrung und Heuchelei. Außer in der seit Beginn des Terrorkrieges in 2001 expandierenden „Supermacht“ verstecken und verkriechen sich die Verantwortlichen.

Der gestern begonnene Einmarsch regulären türkischen Militärs, der im September 2014 auf dem N.A.T.O.-Gipfel in Wales gegründeten internationalen Kriegskoalition, sowie deren Proxy-Milizen unter der Flagge „Freie Syrische Armee“ („F.S.A.“) erfolgte zumindest mit „der Billigung Russlands“, wie „RT“ kleinlaut in einem Nebensatz verlautbarte. Auch die syrische Regierung, mit ihrem Außenminister Walid al Muallem, schwieg gestern zum offenen Einmarsch der „westlichen“ Kriegskoalition im eigenen Land.
